We call attention to the letter of Gen. Clinginau below. From it will he eeeu that the bills through which (Jeoige W. Swepson obtained the money from the State was drawn up by .Judge Merrimon and Gen. Clinginau, but were by Gov. Caldwell and Hon. Sam imuel F. Phillips, and gotten through mainly by the influence of Gov. Caldwell, then L. Governor and President of the Senate. What will the Radicals say to this expo sure ? Their candidate for Governor aud atfi candidate for Attorney General re sponsible for the legislation which ena bled Swepson to ruin the State's credit ! So confidential were Swenson's relations with the Governor, that he wrote to him rather than to any of hi other counsel. Abbeville, May 17, 1S72. To tht Editor of the Citizen : SlR : As I, iu common with other del egates from Buncombe county, voted in the Greensboro Convention to make the lion. A. S. Merrimon the candidate tor Governor, I think it but fair to defend him, from attacks unjustly made against him, Iu connection with myrelf, for acting as the counsel of George W. Swepson. As to the false charge iu the Eiu of yeB- terday, the Kadical organ published at ltau-iiili, that 1 bad sworn that 1 bad re- ceived fifteen thousand dollars from Swepson, it is hardly necessary forme to contradict it, because that very paper itself last winter referred to it as false, aud assailed tho Sentinel nfiice for giviug currency to if, through a typographical -! - m error. 1 ne circurnstaucc is wormy oi notice; ouly as showing the little regard for truth cutertaiued by that paper. As. however, Judge .Merrimon is a can didate for the highest office in the State, he merits defence at the hands of his po litical friends When the Legislature met in Novem ber, 15G8, Mr. George W. Swepson's standing in the State as a business man and a captalist was very 1. inland Judge Merrimon and 1, as well as other eminent lawyers at Raleigh, did business for him exactly as we should have done it for any other respectable gentleman iu the State. What he wished us to do was important to our section, and in itself praiseworthy. Judire Merrimon aud I had been residents cf the western part of f. 1 low-citizens, anxious, to obtain railroad facilities, and the bills we prepared were Dioner in themselves to carry out meas urea f public importance. I am coufi- dent that Judge Merrimon had no more eround than mveclf to enspect that the money to be appropriated was to be mia applied. 1 never did anything as conn sm. . s a a St. K a sa i& m mm or onjnn nil ii .

Tbe Act of the Legislature ratified 29th day of Jannary. A: D.. 1869. wa r. f,ared t by Jr J- Caldwell, then Lieni. Ooyeruor and President of the Stua:c. and carried through the Legislature main ly by bis influence. This Act contain alinotst all the important legiltion of the eessiou for the Western N. C. Road, nnd makes, the: large appropriation of seven millions of dollars for the construction of both divisions of the road. Ihu circum stances attending its passage were these: J udge Merriuioa and I bad prepared a bill which met with Gov. Caldwell' op. position Hia objection to it wag that it allowed the private stockholders to elect all the directors of both divisions of the road, because it provided that in the election the State proxy ahould vote only one-third of her stock, so ns to allow the private stockholders the control. Gov. Caldwell objected to this, and said bis party was entitled to have the control of the corporations. After tht struggle iu the legislature had continued some weeks, MrSwepson told Judge Merrimon and myself that be could not get the bill through against Caldwell's inilueoce, be and bad agreed to make a compromise with him, and that Caldwell bad himself prepared a bill wb'ch he was willing to ac cept. iBotb Mi rrimoii and 1 objected to the compromise, though afterwards, on finding that this bill niL.rdcd the only chance for any appropriation to the road, 1 eventually withdrew my opposition, aud thf hill in tli i t f. inn in-iii, Caldwell's iuauence, became h law. Du ring the contest I hud a conversation with Gov. Caldwell uirself, and he stated that he was quite willing thtt the Western Division thuuld be arranged as Mr. Strep I " 1 . . 1 i m eon ULEiren it io ue, out tnat bo was not willing that the K-tstcrn Divijion should be in like condition because ol his oppo sition to Col. Tate, its president. Iience it will be seen that the 10ih section pro iuvb iii.ii in me Jasirrn division tne State shall vote pro rata on all her stock, while section 11 provides that she shall vote only one-third her etock iu the Wes tern Division. The tflect of these pro visions enabled Gov. llolden, through the proxy appointed Ly him, to choose all the diiectors on the Eastern Division, and thus displace Col. S. McD. Tate, while a the proxy would vote only one third of tho stock in the Western Division Mr. Swt pson and his fiicuds would elect all the dii .etors in that Division, and thus have control of the operations of the road. On examining this entire Act, it will he found that il ratifies" all the previous legislation for . and transactions of the IS x M m . .1 W estcrn Division of Mr. bwepson s road. X OUIS"1' Y1 in,S co,,M,"-on. un',er w etate that after my return from tho North, in March of that year I met Gov. Cald well on the street, and he itivited me to his room to see a letter he had just receiv ed from Mr. Swepson, then in Florida, requesting some additional Legislation. On hia explaining to me what Mr. Swep son wished to have done, I, in accord ance with Gov. Caldwell's wi-hes, weut to the Hon. S. F. Phillips' office and told him that Mr. Swepson drsired him to prepare a bill to carry out hi view, and Mr. Phillips, in compliance with my sug grsiions, li .uned a hill which became a law, having been ratified the 1st day of April, A. i), 1SG9, to be f uud on page 218, of the Vol. of Laws for 1SGS aud 1SG0. I refer to these transactions with uo wish to prejudice either Gov. Caldwell or Mr. Phillips, but merely that Justice may be done to everybody. Having in all public transactions myself in variably don exactly what I thought right, 1 wish my actions known to every oue, and presume that these gentlemen have elujil.tr feelings and arc quite as willing as I am that the part they have taken in public business I should be uodei stood. In fact, as at that time none of us, 1 suppose, had any reason to believe that the appropriations wiH- be misapplied, there is no just ground for assailing us. In any view that may be tckeu of the matter. Judire Merritnou's poeitiou is quite as defensible as that of his oppo nent, and I think it is time that Gov. Caldwell' organ should understand this. Very Respectfully, Sec, TL. CLING MAN.
