Whilo they th e both in their present condition l0 ibarrassed in finding the means va prosecute vigorously the work an cessary to their success, it is, I ta ink, equally clear that their ly mbined means can achieve the le mpletion of ther common pur- do ses. c The act befor, me proposes sim- m. v to allow them, upon fair and da ual terms, to combine their re- ri urees. In postponing the statutory lien fo1 the State. for the endorsed sa nds of the Greenville Railroad, m( nannot feel that I am consent- th to abandon any real security st ithe part ot the State. as this to ad has not only paid the inter- in t on a debt, almost equal to the th mbined liability of the State's s dorsement and the second mor- h1( .ge bonds. At the same time it th Ls been compelled to expend an ca :traordinary amount of its in n me for repairs, which for the ant of iron, had to be alnost B .ilv renewed, coupjled with the e-u 'strueton of rolling stock, and ar mages for the loss of life and ed operty. It is rendered abso- th tely ecertain that when the road an put in proper condition, with " e necessary means to do the " isiness of the country through co hich it passes, it will not only 07 able to pay the interest on both esi isses of bonds, the aggregate of bich is less than S20.000 to the ' ile, but will have a surplus, that T ay be applied to the payment of tic e interest on the Blue Ridge " nds, while the road is in process " construction. no In reference to the Blue Ridge lit ilroad, by an examination of a e several acts, it will be seen4 at the only chatnge which has CV en made is to give the bond- W ilder the first lien, and the statu- on rv lien of the State the second. which it is seured as effectuail as it was in its original status. >e necessity for- this legislationtr ill be recognized when it is known UP at one of the principal difficul- R ? in the way of the negotiating i r the sale of these bonds, the ih ortgage executed and placed on tc cord in the States through which M e rad passes, viz: South Caro- 01 ia, North Carolina, Geor-gia and ~nnessee, to Messrs. Gourdin. meon & Clews, as tr-ustees, by priority of (date, was made to a first mortgage on the p)roper- I of the road, while the act au-t oizing. the endorsement gave of e State a fit-st lien. This was tde a cause of objection by those Po 0o wer-e disp'sed to accept the or gotiationm of the bonds; the pur- K-o aser was desirous that his se- , -ity should be a first lien on the of operty, so that, on failure of the its mpany to meet their obligations. bi e holder of the bonds couldl to ike a claim against the road, ad d not against the State, as e ey could' do nothing in the Po urts as against the State, while m y could enforce their chiim na ainst the incorporation. Thus ti will be seen that it became ab- tie lutely necessary that this ditti- tii ty should be corrected. As to ab e other change of the law of 68, whereby it gives the pr re of negotiating the- bon.ds at wi e market value, instead of be-inig sti stricted to seliing at par. every de mut een that it was almost a th 'manent bar aglainst the nego Lion of the bonds upon their rits. To have (lone so, the com iy would have been forced to pt a species of sharp practice, ecliing the bonds at par, a!d npensating the purchaser by a nimission, for the difference be aen their market and par value, ich inevitably placed the corn iy at a disadvantage in any ne iation they might attempt to ke with correct business men. Phen these roads have been isolidated, there will be one at road running from the capi of the State, completing the stern connection and promising ertainty of revenue which can dly be exaggerated. At.,pres , both c.f these roads are ob. ueted in their elft*rts by the t that t!he oel is incomplete, I the other not in condition to nsact its h-ire and increasing iness with vi-or and dispatch. ns,,lidated. they will go into credit mar-ket of the world h a comp!et !I r0a. of more mn two h;Ind:d miles, and with ine of about one hundred and ty additional miles to be con ueted, passing through a coun unsurpassed in all that makes terial prosperity, and by a .-ndly combination with the ath Carolina Railroad Company, which its moral support will secured, completing connection ween the Atlantic and great st at a cost contrasting most orably withl% other lines leading in the interior to the seaboard, is fulfilling the hope and effort the State for more than one rd of a century. I would feel -self criminally indifferent to interest of both the Blue Ridge ilroad and the people of the te, were I to fail in supporting y measure that would completc s great enterprise, and thus ye the public without the ad tage of this important road, J to entail upon -them the cer nty of having to meet eventnal the interest and principal of at st a portion of the bonds en rsed flr that purpose. What r the opinion of individuals Ly be as to the policy of consoli ion, or the advantage to be de ed from giving to the Blue Jge ro:,d a hundred and sixty [r miles tf completed road, I am .isfied that all practical business m will concede the fact, that s acquisition will give more ength and value to the bonds, be used for the purpose of rais the necessary funds, than even endorsement of the State it. f. I would even were it possi at this time, be willing to see bonds endorsed by the State celled and withdrawn from the rket, and have them replaeed a first mortgage bond on the e Ridge and Greenvill, road nbined.~ Circu mstanced as we , by the road being encumber by a first mortgage, securimg s endorsed bond by the State. d vested rights in the bonds, it uld be almost impossible to Lke the exchange, hence it be nes our duty to adopt any and ery means to realize the great sum of money p)ossible for the nrty we have and apply it ictiy and honestly to the con uetion of the road. I am satis I that the four millions of bonids I place the road in such a state forwardness, by a change ot ite and grade, as to require but be, after they are exhausted, Gf itional outlay to open commu ation to Knoxville, and what. er further im sans may be required 1 be readily secured by a see d mortge;go on the whole road. [n conclus-ionm, I would sav that he presenit bill did not '?resent certainty ot saving the State 'a becoming eventually liable on its endorsement of the Blue Ige bonds by a failure to apply m in such a way a.s to make a road itself a sufficient guaran ifor their p)ayment, I would w witlhhold my official approval the bill.

A Blast From John Bull. o p Mr. Disraeli, the English Con servative leader, made a speech in the House of Commons on the 9th, in which, the tondon Tele graph says, "he sinned most deep lv when ie came to the subject of n American diplomacy. Mr. I)israeli c cl calls upon us to make known, once for all, that we will not endure such treatment. But again we must point out that if his words 0 mean anythig they mean war." t Mr. Di-iraeli, in the course of' his remarks on the address in re- t ply to the speech from the throne, said : There is one point connected 0 with Anerica which I cannot re frain from bringing before the consideration of this House, and that is, it seems to me the time has come when some notice should be taken by this country of the extraurdinary manner in which the authorities of America com rnicate with our government and with the people of this coun try, or with persons of influence t b with whom they are placed in 1 communicatioD. The tone of the; American government towards the h government of England is differ ent from that used towards the S government of any other country. [Hear, hear.] It is not as I once thought it was, the rude simplicity of republican manners. [Laughter.] Nothing can be more courteous than the govern ment of the Unted States to the t Russian government, and, I have no doubt, to the German govern mnrit ; but if they have any com munication to make to the gor C% r eirnment of this country, or any cause to give their opinion as to the conduct of the English people, I n a tone is adopted and languige n used which it may be forbearing e not to notice for a tin, but which, if continued, may lead to coIse quences not intended, arid which I all will deplore. Now, I am not a going to dwell upon the wild a words of demagogues. who, I sup. pose, in the United States, as in all other countries, are reckless of their expressions. I am talking of persons of authority-of the House of the Representatives of the nation. I will take, for in staice, the chief senator-I think the chairman of the committee for I foreign atfairs is the chief man in the Senate, and only second tothe President. for he exercises the functions of royalty to a certain degree. No treaty with the Uni ted States can, I believe, be con eluded without his concurrence. Wel, having to deal with us in this very matter of the fisheries treatv, he commenced his parlia nientary career last year by a vio lent invective against the English v Government and the English na tion, calculated to excite the pas- t sions of the people of America. Then the President of the United C States, the sovereign of A merica,r hias recently produced one of theI g 'ravest state~ papers which a per son of his exalted p)osition couldI have produced. [Ilear, hear.] When the English Government or people are referred to, instead of being spoken of with kindness and respect, I might use much harsh er expressions to describe the manner in which our conduct and interests are treated. What is the cause ? it is, I think, very fortu nate that only reetyteFn anprison ers were sent to Amer ica. It isaquestionable thing to mec whether they oughe to have been amnestied. [Cheers.] But as I have said on a former occa-I sion, an amnesty should always be complete ; and if' they were to be freedI. I think they ought to I have been allowed to go to Ire land, instead of being put on a boat with ?5 in their pocket. [A laugh, anud "hear, hear."] The neo~ple of America received them, 'l ini pusac of the system of al- h ways insulting this country, with r all honor, and by a large majonity in the IIouse of Representatives decided to ti-eat them with everyt possible respect. I want to know r what is the reason why the gov- a enent and people of England are treated by the Governmrent of t the United States in a different l manner from that in which other countries are treated. The time e has conme when we ought to know t that. At the first blush one would e think it would be impossible for n two nations to be on terms of -' more thorough and complete uni- I derstandhin g. Notwithstaindiing he emigration wvhic,h the 'honorable s entlermen who seconded the ad b iress has noticed, the English a ebaraicter and origin of the set- a tir in these colonies are always and constantly predominant.- it They have perhaps improved oui t anguagwe- [Iaughter]-but they u hv~e to a certain extent the same I laws~ and the same religion. Ourt comerkcial relations are on an t immnse seale. and mutually ben- b eficial. There is every circum.. t Istance which ought to unite two a nations in the bonds of real friend- d ship, and yet it is impossible that a the govern ment or the people ofthis e cuitry can be norought in any t m,lic wyefore- the anthoritieF 4 F that country without some ex ression being used orsome course Lken which is offensive to our hon r. It cannot arise from the origi- I al quarrelh The result of the orig tal quarrel was certainly calcula ,d to leave faelings of vindictive ess, but not on the part of Amer. y ins. Nor does it arise from the >urse taken during the civil wa-. othing is more unjust on untrue h, ian the statement that the cause i r the Southern States was taken 0Y p by either party in this conn -y ; and with regard to the arges so constantly made that 01 ie party represented on this side di F the House acted in a party jt nse with regard to the Southern ir onfederation, it is utterly un- tj -ue, [Cheers.] There were gen- s; emen, no doubt, on both sides of 01 e House who expressed their ti pinions and brought forward hi otions, but nothin li ke a party i iotion was made. Lord Derby ho was well acquainted with merica,from the first believedthat i ic Northern Confederatio: would e successful, and as regards the a, ne House of Parliament where b, e was prominent he may be fair- al assumed to represent the party al tting on his side. As regards I lis House, I may, perhaps, claim t > be regarded as the representa- d ve, and under no circumstances hatever did I sanction any such otion, and for this reason-I felt 0 was impossible to limit your in- 1 3rference to the recognition of a lie Southern States. It would S ave invoived you in a war with tl be Northern States, and of such d result I would not take the c Dsponsibility. [Cheers.] The rea in is this: There is a party in f merica who certainly do not onopolize the intelligence, the r ducation, and the property of the b Duntry, and who, I believe, are ot even numericalhy strong, who ttempt to obtain political power nd to excite political passion by A busing England and its govern- a ent because they believe they l an do it with impunity. [Cheers.] r 'he very men who do this would e the last men to take LLia&-nanw they thought that England ould reeent these insults. You iay say, if they have no really ostile intent, and it is a mere lectionecring game, is it not bet r for us to be forbearing and ontem-ptuous? Well it is not ex- o etly that. The danger is this: 'I 'hey excite the passions of mil- t Ons, and some unfortunate thing i appens, or something unflrtu- e ate is said in either country; the p re lights up ; it is beyond their % ontrol, anid the two nation5 are n inded in a war or a contest. which ti hey can no longer control or pre- n ent. And, thereftre, in my mind, ji we are to have a commission it t ill be a good opportunity for us s' i come to a clear understanding ti n that point-that England can- g ot be insulted or injured with im- v unity, [cheers] and although I c bould look upon it as the darkest h our in my life to support or even e a counsel in this Heuse a war h ith the United States, the United p tates must understand that we e ill not per-mit ourselves to be f< reated differently from other rountries. [Cheers.] if once our e aval and military institutions rer ill that condition which I h ope on Thursday, or some early o a, we shall find they are-[a h ngh]-if once it is known that a er Majesty's dominions cann'ot 1 e assailed without being defend- jp d-all this rowdy rhecre which tl Saddressed to irresponsible mil- C ons, arid, as it is supposed, witha 'ipunity to ourselves, will, I be- 'I eve, cease.

STATE OF SoUrTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, Mareh 7, 1871. o the Honorable, the Senate of South Carolina: GENTLEMEN: I return, to your >norable body, without my ap *oval, an Act, appropriating 265 10 for Legislative expenses, for c following reasons. to-wit: First-I regard the expenditure the money already appropriated iring this tession, and the sum eluded in this bill-amounting the aggregate to four hundred ousand ($400,000.) dollars, as mply enormous for one session the Legislature. It is beyond e comprehension of any one, )W the General Assembly could witimately expend one-half that nount of money. I cannot re ain from expressing the opinion at there must have been some se et agency in fixing the sum at that nount, as a number of the mem rs both of the House and Sen ,e, have expressed their surpris. finding the appropriation ianged from one hundred and venty-five thousand, (8125,000) )llars, as it was believed to have issed, to that of two hundred and xty-five thousand dollars ($265, )0) dollars. I regret the necessity returning the act without my )proval, on the last d-ty of the ssion, but to do otherwise, I feel iat I would be recreant to the aties imposed upon me, by be >ming a party to a wrong by hich the whole people would be ade to suffer. I might give may other cogent asons why this bill should not come a law, but time prevents y doing other than giving it my aiqualified disapproval, believing )at the members of the General ssembly will, themselves, correct i error that must have crept into ie bill clandestinely in its en )llment.

Let epeople stand ready to meet the -isi when the mask is thrown Bourbakils Defeat-Horrible Suffering of French Soldiers. The following are extracts from a private ktter received from IM%ontrei.u.. lihd published in the London Standard : We are all. greatly interested about the poor French soldiers who fled for refuge across the Swiss frontier when surrounded by the Prussians. They are the re: mains of Bourbaki's army, and are pouring by thousands along the different routes through the Jurm into Switzerland. We are told tLere are about 8,000 here, all in the most abject, miserable condi tion imaginiable. The Swiss have, of course, disarmed them, and, in a sort of way, made them prison ers, and they are being portioned out to every canton. Those who were to be pa.eed in Chillon did not arrive until Saturday evening. Ther were oblized to walk all the way from Laustinne, as the railway companies would not allow them to go in the trains because they were so dirty. We heard the miost hecart rending acentunts -of them from all quarters. They had to march shoeless and stock iigle,s through the snow (which has been very deep all about here] with hardly any clothing to pro teet them against the biting cold. Many of them fell down dead in the stree,s of Pontarlier from ex haustion and want of fnd. Lat on Satnrd.y ev.1ing, February 4 we became aware of a great com motion, and on looking out we. saw a black mass of human being marching past on the lower road Thcre were a few carts and ear rin_es for those who were not abl to valk, and through the stillness of the night we -heard a hollow cough, which is what so many .hat so badly in Lausanne. Nurase an< the servantp ran down to mee1 them, ani walked with them t< Chillon. There were a greal many of the Swiss with them too They got into talk with severa of the poor soldiers, who told then that for three weeks they. had been obliged to sleep, if sleep were possible under such cireumstances on snow, with nothing to cQver them, and a fire only as a.great luxury, when they could find 1 little stray wood. For three suc cessive days they were fighting ir snow up to their waists-they in th< plain and the Prussians on the I surrounding hills-without any munition whatever, and no armE save their bayonets ; and, t< crown them all. to strertbe them for their hard work, they .had the bountiful suprly of t'wo.bis cuits for their subsistence for tw< days.

Courier: Monday evening irs^T6garty, the keeper of the house in which Sue Iiungerford bad been well nigh ent to pieces, appeared at the Police Barracks in great tre: pidation, dressed in male costume, and demanded protection for her household. She was evidently very much excited. and very ea rer that a poice guard should by, detailed for her relief. She told the officer in command that 3Ir. John A. Staley had called at her house that evening and demanded certain papers whicli he allege<l had been left in Sue Ifungerford's charge. Mrs. Fogarty said she knew nothing of them, but would rgo.in and require, and if the pa pers were there be sbould have them. l1e then demanded admit. sion to Sue ltungerford's room, stating "it was all right, and he must see her anvhow." Mrs. F.> i.Zarty demurred, stating that in her oresent weakened condition Sue onght not to see a:iybody, and leasLt of all him. At this point Mrs. Fogarty noticed -tho g,leam of a knife, aid said, "God bless me ! What is that '' It'I the knife ray wife ct her with,' replied Staley; "but never yoiu mind-that's all right. I want to see you privately. Step back-hero -for a momeut." Pertectly terri fied, Mrs. Fogarty compled -Swith his request, and asked him what he wanted- "In the first place," said Stalcy, "I want you to prom ise e solemnly that you won't swear against me, whatever yon do, or if you do it will be the worse for you." Mrs. Fogarty as sured him that "whatever she Smight have to stay when called Iupon for her evidence it should be ~the truth." Staley again caution.: ed her to "mind what she was about," anud a visitor knocking for admission gave Mrs. Fogarty 'the hvauce to escape to her room, no sumne male attire, and hasten witht allspeed to thec Police Barracks, wsherce hr story was so< n told. In compiliance with her request, the offieer in charge detailed a po licemnan to remain upon her.prema ises until he was ieliet-ed, thus ice lieving for the time be:ig her fear of assassinat ion.
