His Lordship expressed the best hopes tor an early and satlsiaciury settlement or the matters pending, and believed that the Eng? lish Government will be prepared to agree to any? thing like reasonable terms. Profess r Bernard expressed similar views. He said he was. hopeful that, the commission would not return to England Without having accomplished its object He felt,, however, rather chagrined regard'ug the resolu? tion of Congress welcoming the Fenian prisoners to this country. - He thought lt was an unfortu.. nate mistake on the part or Congress, particularly at this time. -A Washington letter says: "The special Senate committee on Southern outrages have taken a great deal of evidence, and intend reporting some of lt to lae Senate at an early day as a basis for legislation. Thus far they have kept the tes? timony a secret, and have requested the witnesses not to communicate their own for publication. It has transpired that there ls a great deal of it contradictory. An ex-United States marshal and a Republican, from a county where lt was charged so many of these outrages were com? mitted, testified the other day that in his opinion persons were just as safe la that section at they were In the open, streets of any Northern city, and that two-thirds of the reported outrages had no foundation. Au effort will be made in the House next week to pass the Cobb bill (prepared by General Butler) for Federal commissioners In every county In the South to try the so-called Ku Klux for violating the very stringent provisions of the act. Among other thlng3, lt makes lt a penal offence to discharge a colored man from employ? ment, provided the latter swears that he had committed no unlawful act.? A Trae. History.' This is the history of the. Greenville Rail? road Ring, and of the swindling scheme koown as the Greenville Railroad Bill. Some time last year a party of State officials dabbed together and bought up enough or the stock of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company to give them entire control otthe road. The purchase of the stock, the payment of fees, and other in? cidental expenses, absorbed about $300,006, now represented by twelve shares. The holders of these shares compose the Green? ville Ring. The money paid out in their namee.. or the greater part of if, did not, it is shrewdly "surmised, -eome out of the pock? ets of the Ring. Taking possession of their property, they soon found thal the earnings would not enable them, whatever their prom? ises, to rebuild and thoroughly equip the road. This, however, gave the Ring little concern, as they fondly believed that the Wilmington and Columbia and the South Caroliaa Railroads would become active bidders and would buy out the Riug ata snug profit But neither company budged. All negotiations, moreover, were complicated by an agreement made by the Ring, that no one of the members should sell out Lis share without ?he consent of his associates. The floating debt of the Greenville Road (about $750,000) became very troublesome. Woree than eilis, the kind friends who had advanced money to the Ring required its re? turn. The road was falling to pieces, and, as accident followed accident, fast became a public nuisance instead of a public benefit. Driven to desperation' the Ring deter? mined to draw once more upon the public purse, and prepared a biH whioh provided that the State should endorse the bonds of the road to the extent of $10,000 a mlle for every mile of road which the company might own or thereafter acquire. This would enable the Ring, in connection with the Lauren? and the Unios- and Spartanburg Railroads, te -pocket about'$4,000,000 in booda of the State. Even at forty cents on. the dollar the sale of these bonds would put the Ring out of their misery. Bat it was evident that to pass tais, monstrous Bill wooid take a large suv. of money, arid, a few days ago, the Biog opened negotiations [ for the sale of their shares to the South Cano I fina Railroad Company. 1 The first proposition made by the Ring was tb sell their shares for $1,000,000, the South Carolina Railroad assuming, besides, the whole floating debt of the Greenville j road. This waa instantly rejected, and the South Carolina Railroad offered to give $650;000 and lift the floating deb:. The Ring then agreed to take $750,000, but the South Carolina Railroad would not increase its bid, and the negotiation came to naught Without more ado the Ring pressed on with the Greeuville Bill, which, before it passed the House, was so modified as to give the Ring a lump endorsement of $2,000, - 1 000, instead of $10,000 a mile for an indefi? nite numiaer of miles. . Now this is the point to which we des'.re to draw the attention of- the Senate A Ring of speculators buy a railroad for about $300,000. They find that to then-., it is a poor bargain. Purchasers are ba'd to "fi nd, ' and the Ring have not the menus of carry? ing on the enterprise. They are Offered $650,000, which is twice as much as the property cost; but they refuse this, aud, by barefaced bribery, induce the House to pass : a Bill which gives the Riug a State endorse? ment for $2,000,000. The Greenville road is, we admit, necessary to the upper part of the State: But the existence of- the road, and its proper management, do not depend upon its remaiuiog ia the hands of the Ring. The Ring can sell out at a profit to j a company which will put the road in order and make it a great highway. There ia no other obstacle than the cupidity of the Ring. With what grace, then, can the Ring demand that the State come to their relief, and secure them a huge profit at the expense of the people ? We hope and trust that the Senate will reject the BUL It bought its way through the House, and the same tactics are expect? ed to succeed in the Senate. But we are not yet ready to believe that there are not eleven men in the Senate who have the com? mon decency to vote against the bill. It re- ' quires a two-thirds vote. Eleven senators can defeat ?lie bill, aud by so doing save the credit of the State,- and administer a titting rebuke to those miserable members of tho lower House who sold their votes for cigars, greenbacks aud whiskey. . ' Thc Position of Governor Scott. Governor Scott does not mince words in idiscussing the various schemes for plunder? ing the State treasury. His general posi? tion, as repeatedly announced during the past four weeks, is this : The State is not in condition to lend Us money or creditfto any undertaking, wluitever its merits-r-all Bills, therefore, which directly or indirectly in? crease the liabilities of the State will be vetoed by the Executive. In speaking of the nefarious Greenville Bill, Governor Scott goes farther. He says that .itcan only be passed by wholesale bribery, and that he will veto the Bill. Should the Bill pas3 over the-Executive veto, which is unlikely, the Governor will refuse to sinn or issue the bouds which it proposes to issue, and he will, also, apply to the courts to restrain other State oiflciaU from signing or issuing the bonds. These are Governor Scott's views. For the sake of this whole people, white and colored, Republicans and Reformers, we trust that he wiri stand firm aud fulfil to the letter his every pledge. . The Roll of IuCamjr. These are the mern chosen to represent the interests of Charleston County in the Gene? ral Assembly, and who betrayed their high trost?n Friday last by voting for the infa mqns Greenville Railroad swindle. Let the people, whose hard earnings they have striven to filch, mark and'remember every man of them : T. A. DAVIS. J. B. DENNIS, J J. HARDT, P. P. HEDGES, H? H. HUNTER, W. R. JBRTET. J. w. LLOYD, E. MICKET, A. SMITH. Those who dodged the issue by being ab? sent were : TIM. HURLEY, W, Pi GLOVER, A. LOGAN, R. BRYAN, A. P. FORD, W. E. ELLIOTT. Had these men done their duty and stood by their colleagues, Messrs. O. R. Levy, P. J. Andell and B. A. Bosemon, (to whom all honor!) in opposition to the swindle, the whole corrupt scheme would now be dead. To the honor of the Reformers, be it said, thai only two of their number-J. L. Shank lin, of Ocoiffce, and H. Sullivan, of Green? ville-voted for the bill A Two Million Robbery ! The Greenville Ring, if the Bill becomes a law, will exchange their endorsed bonds for the bonds of the State. In this way two million of dollars would be added to the State debt There is no question of contin? gent liability. The Greenville Bill ls, as a Republican contemporary well puts it, "a "measure to create a new-issue of State "bonds for the aid of the Greenville Railroad "Company." The bill provides for the levy? ing of an annual tax sdfflcient to pay the in? terest ou the State bonds exchanged for the . Greenville Railroad endorsed bonds. . There i3? therefore, no-evading thia broad truth : Every Senator who votes for the Greenville Bill vote3 L To -add 32,000,000 to the debt of the State. 2. To add S120.000 ? year to the ordinary State tax-an addition of at least one tenth. The people will neither forgive nor forgot the unfaithful public servant, no mutter where he lives, who sustains the Greenville BUL; . _ What It Costs. It was currently reported In Columbia on Friday that the Greenville Ring were pre? pared to spend $80,000 to secure the pas? sage of their swindling Bill. As much money as this may not have been at their command, but they offered one member of the House S500 for his vote on Thursday, and, at thie rate, the Ring must have bled very freely. All day Thursday the Ring kept an open bar in the Judiciary Committee Room adjoining the Hall of the House of Representatives. Whiskey was drunk by the gabon, and cigars were smoked by the hundred. When the House adjourned on Thursday night sev? eral of the colored members were unequivo? cally tipsy. Comptroller-General Neagle was a prominent character upon the floor of the House, and appeared to be the general? issimo of the members who sided with the Ring. Until he gave the word .the House re? fused to adjourn, and, when the vote was an? nounced, a drunken colored member sprang to his feet and invited "all the members "who voted aye !" to step into the Judiciary Committee Room. Weak-Kneed ! It is said that some senators who have a sneaking fondness for the Greenville swiu dle, but have not the cheek to vote for it. intend to make a compromise by absent? ing themselves from the Senate while the Bill is on its passage. This shift w?|? not; serve them. The senator who, by dodging the vote, allows the Bill to become ?. .aw, is as guilty in the public eye as he who casts a square vote in its favor ! JSkttxufr.
