It is as follows : "TIia nrMttionfll laborers referred to in this communication will be employed and put upon the work as soon as the labor can be employed st reasonable com pensation, either in hired labor or by coutract, aud of this six hundred addi tional laborers or their value in contracts we will employ at leaatj one-half on the Ducktowu line, and will keep a safficient force on said line to complete it to Pigeon River by the time required by the cou tract as extended . by this application.

Mr. Best found himself unable to raise this money, and fiually ou the 31st day of July, 1880,onr wohA after the pass- niro of tbe act. he formally assigned all o ' . - bis rights under the contract to W. P. Clyde, A. S. Buford and T. M. Logan, for the consideration of 7,500 shares of stock of the face value of $750,000. Tho assignees were induced to como to the rescue of Mr. Best at this late day by solicitations and assurances from promi nent gentlemen iu North Carolina who felt great appreheusious at the threaten ed failure of this scheme. These gentlemen, Messrs. Clyde, Logan aud Buford, began work on the road and made aomo progress before the winter of 18S0-'81 sat in, but they eucouutered two obstacles which in the language of the act very greatly "hindered and de layed" their operations and for which "they were in no wise respousidle." First : The State in the above cited, stipulated as one of tbe couditions of the sale, "That during the construction of said railroad, and nutil tbe same shall be Completed, said State shall-furnish, to aniM fTrniitMs or their assigns not less than 'fire hundred ; ablebodied concicts.n These convicts were not furnished, and .U- l- nrraTWMw1tnfr1r rfcftrdd. luu it ui . nos vv.vwjw-w.,. , Secondly: The winter of ISSO-'Sl was the severest otuejer at times ers" whom I represented :lf'were procras tinating to gaiu time," upon which aloue Senator Vance bases the withdrawal of his assent to the graut of extension, is uu worthy of the Senator, and is as absurd as it is unfounded ; for! how could any time be gaiucd, when iu any event the extensiou was to duto from July 1st! It i upon a grade with his italicized asser tion 'hat the origiual bill aud the grant of extension required that there shall he "com ti Dually" on. the lues a sufficient number of bauds to insure tho comple tion of . the road withiuj the time." Tho reader will bo surprised to learu by reference to the documents that there is no such expression either! iu tho Act or in the grant of exteusiun, aud that the "technical" argument Which the Seuator has advanced is founded solely upon his inaccurate memory. Pending the application for an exten sion of time tho Western North Carolina Railroad Company had) a-tvertised to let out the contracts to build the road to Pignon River, nnd the! contractors were to have the expected four months time to complete their tvork it can be imag ined therefore with whist surprise I re ceived from Governor Jarvis tbe follow ing letter, which was delivered to mo ou the day it bears date : Noma Carolina Raleigii.

Now, aa Dr. Worth is shown to Ijsyc had full knowledge of the fact of Senator Vance's withdrawal, what foundation has the Senator for his insinuations that such knowledge was designedly kept from him Dr. Worth simply kept a promise which ho made with deliberation, but Senator Vance thinks that if the doctor did so with out first having- been informed (though fn fact-he was injpjrmjsdthat the Senator in teTiAe&-(otioldts,a similar promise, this would constitute 4 '"fraud" and would rcn der the grant of extension void.
