The experience of Mr. Jeremiah Fisk will serve as an illustration. On the 22d ultimo he left the Hlgley Coal Mine with a load of coal for his home in Greeley, Col, the dis? tance being fourteen miles. Scarcely had be started when a tremendous snow storm and gale came on. It was soon literally Impossi? ble to see, so thick were the fine flakes, and the horses became almost paralyzed with fear. The darkness and cold increased every moment, and the gale changed into a hurri? cane. Leaving his team at length, Fisk en? deavored to reach a place of shelter on loot. His strength was failing rap? idly, and his clothes were frozen stiff. He managed to walk an hour longer, when a dizziness came on, and his brain reeled like tbe storm. Thea ho began digging a hole in the deepest drift he could find. After working a long time the ground was reached, and then drawing the robe over his head he waited for the snow to bury him. The wind did its work well, and In an hour eighteen inches of snow covered his roof of fur. All night long he suffered intensely, and only escaped freezing by continually moving his muscles. At daylight he arose and drag? ged his frosted limbs in the direction of the town, at the rate of a mlle an hour, and with the thermometer eighteen degrees below zero. At last, says the Greeley Tribune, "he reached his -father's gate, and staggered to the door. Then there was a rush and a scream, and the next instant a black and bloated face was lying on a woman's breast." Tlie City and the Road. Thia paper does Dot ask the city to issue its own stock for the purpose of buying stock in the South Carolina Railroad. We believe that it would be better to take that extreme step than to allow the South Caro? lina Railroad to pass into the hands of a clique who will work against the interests of CharlestoD. But we are of opinion that a transfer of investment by the city, involving no loss of security and no addition to the public debt, would give the people the pro? tection they require. This is what we adv?? cate alibis time. An Extraordinary Proceeding. The resolution adopted by the House of Representatives on Saturday, ordering an Inquiry Into the whole matter of the trial of the case of Bedding and wife against the South Carolina Railroad, is a direct impeach? ment of the judicial integrity of Judge Gra? ham, whose "bearing, instructions anti "rulings" are declared to have raised'strong apprehensions that "corruption and bad "faith" were practiced against the plantifl. We do not suppose that Judge Graham has any reason to shun investigation, and we know very little of the merits of Bed? ding's case, but it is an extraordinary pro? ceeding to fly to the Legislature with a rigmarole of charges against a judge merely because a jury iaslsts upon rendering a ver? dict for the defendant. Neither Redding nor bis friends appeur to be Willing to await the result of their appeal to the Supreme Court. Reddio g's attempt to murder one of the South Carolina Railroad employees on the morning that the verdict was announced, will be tried at the next term of the Court of General Sessions. His disin? terested friends take the other lack, and endeavor to convert an ordinary civil suit Into a grave political question. They prate about "a denial of justice." What justice, we ask, can there be in South Carolina if a defeated suitor, virtually ignoring the means of redress* which the law gives bim, may reverse the decision of the jury by marking an ex parte statement to the Legislature of the Stater Impatient misrepresentation. a. Radical paper says the State gives the Blue Ridge Ring $1,800,000 in Bills Receiv able and cancels a liability of $4,000,000, and, as the Bills Receivable are worth about 80, the State really bays np its. bonds at thirty cents on the dollar. This is impu? dence with a vengeance. The Blue Ridge bill provides that the. Bills Receivable, in question, shall be taken in payment of all taxes, except the special tax for the payment of interest on the public debt. Whatever the Bills Receivable may be worth, the State must tak : them at par. It therefore gives tb*e Blue Ridge Ring $1,800,000 to cancel a questionable obligation lu the shape of a guarantee; which obligation, if the State be liable, would not become due until the ma? turity of the bonds, many years hence. And if tbe State pays the debts of the road, it is surely entitled to take the franchises, road? bed and equipment of the company, upon which it has a mortgage to secure it from loss under the very guarantee under which the Ring demand their $1,800,000. Yet the Blue Ridge bill expressly releases the mort? gage, and gives the Ring the road, freed from every claim, as wail as nearly two mil? lions of money. That the bill is a huge swindle is sufficiently shown by the fact that its passage cost the Ring in the neighbor? hood of two hundred thousand dollars. The Greenville Bill. Governor Scott vetoed the Blue Ridge Swindling bill on Saturday, and the bill was immediately passed over the veto in both houses. ThiB was done in accordance with the understanding believed to exist between the Executive and the Legislative Ring. It was thought best to put Governor Scott in a position to declare that he did what he could to defeat the swindle, and, as the bribes given the members of the House and Senate paid for all the voting which might be neces? sary to make the bill a law, there was no danger that the Ring would suffer any hurt. Governor Scott points .with pride to his Pick? wickian veto; the members of the L?gisla? ture pocket their bills receivable; the Ring secure their bill, and, for the -beggarly sum of $13,000, obtain entire control of an un? encumbered railroad which costs the people of the State nearly four millions of money. It worked like a charm, and so pleased are tbe members of the Legislature with their success that they are already discuss? ing another job of the same description as that which has enabled them to pay their board bills without recourse to Mr. Treasurer Parker. This second railroad scheme is a bill to authorize the issue of a million dollars in bills receivable to redeem theguar anteed bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Bad as it is, the last bill is better than the first. The Blue Ridge bill gives the Ring $1,800,000 to pay off debts which do not exceed one-half that amount; but the Greenville bill gives tho company one mil? lion, in exchange for guaranteed bonds to the amount of $1,550,000.'- Both bills, how? ever, are radically unjust, and the passage of the one cannot justify the passage of the other. Two wrongs do not make a right. We chink that the people may rest assured that the Greenville hill will not pass. The Blue Ridge bill went through both houses by an almost unanimous vote, because nearly every member of the Legislature was bribed to support it And as the Greenville bill, so far aB we know, stands upon its merits, it may be expected to die the death which awaits all important measures in which the members of the Legislature are not pecuni? arily interested. That Pickwickian Veto! Governor Scott makes some strong points in his message vetoing the Blue Ridge bill ; but he omits the damaging frets that the Ring receive about double the amount of the debts which they are to pay, and that the State, besides furnishing the means for dis? charging the debts of the road, relinquishes the State lien upon the road, which hen was to secure .the State against loss in the event that, as endorser of the Blue Ridge bonds, the State was called on to pay the liabilities of the road. The State, under the Blue Ridge bill, pays every dollar of the debt of the road, and abandons all claims upon the property and franchises of the company. In one particular the veto message of Gov? ernor Scott is sufficiently satisfactory. As it is evident that the Executive ls not a care? ful reader of THE CHARLESTON NEWS, weean find some excuse for the blunders he has committed. It is presumptive evidence of a folly verging on lunacy to deliberately ex? clude oneself from the benefits of intelligent criticism, but if Governor Scott had glanced at THE NEWS any time since the first Blue Ridge bill was introduced, he would not have the hardihood to say that "the entire press "of the Slate has been silent" on the sub? ject. Governor Scott knows very well that the Legislature passed the kill by "more "than a three-fourths vote" because money was lavishly used to secure its passage. Why some of our contemporaries have touched the bill 80 lightly we do not pretend to ex? plain, but THE CHARLESTON NEWS, at least, bas discharged its duty towards the people. - Returning to the main question, we ask Governor Scott to give some practical turn to his very pretty words. Mr. Attorney General Chamberlain and Governor Scott can smash this Blue Ridge Biog if they are so inclined. This will help "the victims or "misplaced confidence," as Governor Scott dubs the bondholders, far more than a score of special messages. President "WatUey and the Lease. As we did not suppose that the President and Directors of the Central Railroad of Georgia, in their official capacity, were con? nected with the effort to secure possession of the South Carolina Railroad, we are not in the least surprised that Mr. Wadley should deny that any such project has been con? ceived or entertained by his Board of Di? rectors or by bim as President. The priuci pal purchasers of the South Carolina Rail? road stock are Directors of the Central Road, and whether they acted as self-ap? pointed agents of the road, or only intended to sell out to'lhat'road whenever they had fairly obtained control or the South Carolina Railroad, malters very little to the Charles? ton public. Before U3 is tho broad fact that a clique a? e striving to beg, borrow or buy a majority of the stock of thu road, and that their purchases are not made with any view to Ihe benefit of Charleston. This is all that we care to know. And it is enough to spur the people on lo fresh efforts to retain im? movably, in the City and State, a control? ling majority of the stock of the railroad which is our stay and strength, and main means of existence. The following is Mr. Wodley's card, us printed in the Savannah Nms of Saturday: "CENTRAL RAILROAD BAKR-, ) "SAVANNAH, GA., March 1, 1872. J "I have recently learned through a lrlend, what seems to be confirmed by an ankle in your issue of this day, that it ls still believed by many persons in Augusta and Charleston tbat the Central Railroad Company is in some way connected with an effort to secure the possession or control of the South Carolina Railroad. As these impressions are so persist? ently retained, lt ls, perhaps, due to the stock? holders of both companies that I should notice them. ? "Ihe ample fact is that no such project has been conceived or entertained, either by the Board of Directors of this Company, or by me as its President. "The first information on the subject reached the Board and the President through the '.'Marleston newspapers, and this was only met with the expression of astonishment that a rumor so entirely unfounded had taken Buch possession of the public mind In the City of Charleston.
