EDITOR : I have read the Message No. 32t of his Excellency the Governor, to tho Senate, giving his reasons for withholding bis approval of tho "Act to re-enact certain Acts lending the name and credit of the State to the Greenville and Columbia Rail? road Company, and to validate the action of the said company thereunder. " The acconnt given therein of the condition of tho affairs of the company, and the history and charac? ter of tho debt which tho State is asked to guarantee, is so different from that ropro Bented to the Legislature by the company in their memorial, and to tho world in all their annual reports, (being exactly tho reverse in every particular,) that I feel it duo to my own self-respect, and my duty to the com pauy which I havo the honor to ropresent, to correct tho statements made, and to state again, what aro tho real facts in the case. In doing this, my intention is to be entirely respectful to tho Chief Executivo of the State, and merely to state, in a condensed form, tho condition of thc company; its history and prospects, and thc history of the Act which bas been returned to tho Senate, with the veto message of thc Governor. It is stated in tho message that in 1HC1, au Act was passed authorizing the endorse mont of tho bonds of tho company foi 8900,000-8800,000 of which sum was to bc substituted for a bonded debt of tho compa? ny of like amount-and $100,000 to fund i floating debt; which appears to bo thc onlj debt duo by the company outside ' theil bonded debt at that time. In thc memorial of tho company, page 4 (of which tho Governor and each mcmbei of tho Senate and House of Representative! wore furnished printed copies last July,) i is stated: "lu order to provide for the dif fcrenco between thc cost of tho road une outfit, and thc capital stock paid in, tin company issued their bonds, bearing dat from January, 1852, to March, 1854, respec tively, having ten years to run, for 8800,000 and in order to give them a higher marice value, on tho 18th of January, 1851, tho; executed to Charles M. Furmau, us trustee a mortgage, upon their entire property, ti secure their payment. They subsequent! issued their bonds, bearing date July, 1855 and July, 1858, respectively, also bavinj ten years to run, for 8000,000. There wa no mortgage or other lieu executed tosecur thc payment of this latter class of bonds. Ry this it is shown that thc whole boude debt of the company, which they uro uoi desirous to completo the re-adjustment ol was issued in 1852, '53, '54, '55 and '58 loug before tho war, and had nothing wbal ever to do with tho war-and that thc del: of 8750,000, spoken of in tho message as floating debt, created during thc war, an which thc State is prohibited from pay in by a constitutional provision, and au ord nance of the Convention, is u. bonded del issued in 1855 and 1858, to complete tli payment of tho cost of tho road, and fe nothing elso. The following statement will moro full explain bow tho whole bonded debt of th company was created: Cost of road, outfit and real estate.$3,0S1,213.{ Capital stock paid in. 1,510,374..' Cost of road over capital stock paid in.$1,570,833.i Stock held in other railroad companies. 80,495. ( Cost of road sud property over capital stock paid in.$1,651,333.1 To meet this deficiency, tho company i sued their bonds as follows: Mortgago bonds issued in 1852, '53 and '54. $800,01 Ronds not secured by mortgage issued in 1853 and '58. 000,0' , $1,400,0 Tiic whole issac of bonds had ten yen to run, and consequently foll duo in 18C ' '03, '64, '05 and '08. In tho message it is stated that tho coi pony has not paid ono dollar of its del principal or interest, since, 1801. On t contrary, I stato that the company nev failed to pay every dollar of its iutcrc promptly, on presentation at maturity, un . after tho termination of tho war, and I ch: lenge proof of a singlo instauco to tho co trary. Sinco tho war, tho net earnings ha been applied to tho restoration of tho ro and property destroyed during tho war, a I the payment of interest has been suspende This course was for tho interest of all cc ' cerned, State, bond-holders and stockhol ers, because, as tho property iucreascd \ value, the security for its debt was improve 1 and tho road enabled to do a larger a moro prosperous business in tho futu: : Resides, this course has boon pursued i moat railroads in tho South since tho wi ? uad generally to the satisfaction of th i creditors-while tho Greenville Road 1 ; been pursued by a few interested part ' with a persistency, determination auel t i terness almost unknown in tho history I railroads. In placo of "spending upwards i $125,000 every year moro than it carne, f every year has shown a considerable i 3 earning, which has been proporly appli ) to tho repairs of tho road, which repairs i . now about completed ; and in futuro tb ! can bo no doubt but that tho ontiro inter will bo fully and promptly paid as it r tures. For tho year 18G8 the net earuii weru at least $50,000 moro than thc iuter j on its cntiro debt; and aa tho repairs i about paid for, tho company proposo comtnouco tho payment of tho inter from tao first of July last, provided t jj portion of tho back intorost which has i - been funded may bo funded in tho samo curity it has. Tho vory largo interest which tho St ' has in the road is tho strongest reason v it should bo disposed to nid tho compa The intoroat of the State is in I stock..... a4a3.960.00; Guarantor of the bonus of the company..... 945,471.27 j Whole interest of the State. ..$1,379,431.27 1 For the guarantee the State holds the first, mortgage upon the entire property. In tho message it is stated that the guar? antee is void. That, of course, is a legal question which I do not propose to discuss . hero. I have, however, never hoard a law- , yor, who had examined the question, nor do ; I believe there is a respectable lawyer in j South Carolina who, after an examination, j would come to any other conclusion than that tho State is liable for the whole gunr antee; nor do I believe there is a court in the State, or in tho United States, that would not so decide. The courso proposed tu the message is that which of all others will be most likely to injure or destroy tho interest tho State hus in tho road, by crippling tho credit of tho company, provoutiug it from re-adjust? ing the balanco of its debt, and leaving it iu such condition that it may be so embar? rassed and annoyed with suits and other? wise, that ita usefulness will be impaired and it prevented from the payment of its interest. If sold, of course it must bo in tho interest of tho first mortgage bond? holders, if possible to tho exclusion of all others, whereby the State, in common with all other stockholders, will lose its stock, and bo left with chauces of trouble growing out of all the complication connected with its guarantee. lu tho message it is stated that some Act might be passed giving the proper endorse? ment, with proper restrictions ; but, up to tho present time, I have heard of no sug? gestion from the Governor as to what those terms aud restrictions are, and how he pro? poses to protect tho interest of the Stuto by auy new Act or amendment. Perhaps tho samo restrictions and protection to the State would bo acceptable which ure im? posed in tho Act granting aid to the Blue Ridgo Railroad, which is understood to bo his pet measure. I have never examined tho Act, but have heard il frequently spoken of by tiloso I.thought competent to judge, as a curiosity in legislation, and that there uro no restrictions or protection to tho State whatever. The debt which is pro? posed to bo guaranteed for the 131uo Ridge Road is for tho identical aud samo purpose I or class of debt as the debt of tho Green? ville and Columbia Railroad Company that is, for constructing tho road; nod should, ut least so far us the State is con? cerned, stand on the same basis. 1 do not desire to be understood as being opposed tu the Blue Ridge Road, or to tho State's grant? ing aid to it. I am fur from it, and de , cidedly favor it, and look upon it ns an ?ni portant extension of the Greenville und ; Columbia Road, and exceedingly i in portan 1 to tho State; aud if, when completed, i1 , realizes one-tenth of what its friends chiiu i for it, then there certainly could bo nt question as to the ability of tho Greenville nnd Columbia Road taking a stand utnongs the first roads in the country, i 1 must cou fess that I was surprised whet I was informed that a veto message had beet sent in, and especially so, as I had nuder ! stood the Governor frequently to assure mt [ that ho would do nothing whatever agains - tho bill. Buring the special session, in conversation upon tho subject, he requcstei i mo to postpone the bill until the regu?a session, giving as a reason, that he wishoi ) to mako a loan for tho State, and as tho 1101 - government was just being organized an more difficulty than would naturally bo mt i by a State Government of longer standin - in making loans, aud desired to represen tho indebtedness of tho State as small 11 possible; he remarked that if it was posl ) poned, ho would give mo all tho aid and ii tinonee he had, to pass the bill at tho regt ) lar session. I consented at once, au - iustructed my friends when the bill came ui ) to move its postponement; which was dont 3 When tho Governor was preparing hi , annual message, I called to seo him for ii structions as to what was required to L - dono in response to a resolution adopted t , tho special session, requiring all railroa 3 companies whoso bonds wero endorsed L r tho State, to mako some satisfactory exhib t of their ability to pay their interest. 1 handed him a memorandum, in pencil, 1 - what I desired to saj'. Ho remarked that . was very satisfactory, and if I would wri 3 it in ink, ho would insert it in bia mcssag 1 and rofer to it as an accompanying doci 1 mont. I did writo it in ink and sent to hiu . and he refers to it in his annual message 1 - tho appropriate place, as un accompanyii - document, and as very satisfactory. 1 never appeared amongst tho printed accor , ponying documents, and although I hui J inquired for it, have never been ablo . hoar what becamo of it. j Some timo tho latter part of Dccembc , tho Govornor, Fx-Governor Orr, Colon r Childs and myself, met in tho President 3 room, in tho bauk, in Columbia, whe s wo had a freo and full and long disonssic r of tho bill which has been vetoed. Them f morial wan read, und thoroughly discussi and explained. At tho closo of the inti f view, tho Govornor remarked that he won " promise us that he would do nothii t against tho bill. At tho two first interview 1 thoro was no one present, and what pass 0 cannot bo proven; and if disputed, can tin 0 only bo a question of veracity; but U3 to t t interview ut the bank, I am authorized ,- soy that I can havo tho certificate or adie s vit of Govornor Orr and Colonel Chili t that thoy. heard tho romarks as stated abo 0 Arter those interviews, it is not strnn o that T should havo boen surprised. Pt it hops thoro may havo been somo now 1 ,t velopmcnts which made it necessary for t it Governor to change his view; but of thi I- am not informed. I hopo ho has good r< sons for it. 0 As for tho insinuation of lobbying n y other means, which I presumo was intend for me; I can only say, that I was hi when the Blue Ridge appropriation waa sade, and ons or two oilier measures passed, and think it is quite as well to say nothing about lobbying. What I have said, is intended in kind? ness, and in explanation of the interest I represent; and as I have not a pince on the floor of either Houso to explain my posi? tion, this is my only chance to be heard. IT. P. HAMMETT, President. -o Tho intelligence forwarded by telegraph from Havann is startling only in so far as it shows in a clearer light than ever tho wide? spread and constantly growing character of tho insurrection. Tho whole island, to use his forcible expression, proves to be under? mined with revolt. Beginning nt obscuro points in the extreme jurisdictions of Baya mo and Santiago dc Cuba, it has spread Westward tills it seizes railroads midway to Havana, breaks out unexpectedly and si? multaneously on both Northern and South? ern coasts, and causes popular outbursts so dangerously near tho capital as at Matanzas. It is oven reported that tho insurgent com? mander operating on tho railroad lines about Villa Clara bas seveu well-armed regi? ments under him, doficieut only iu artillery. If this be true, the Captain-General may well repeat his calls on the Home Govern? ment for more troops. Ho is already forced to rely on volunteers in numerous impor? tant places, and is believed to have little ex? cepting tho local militia to sustain him in the capital itself. -o THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.-It appears that a slight misapprehension has occurred re? specting tho formality of counting tho Pre? sidential vote. Tho Washington National Republican suv's: " After the vote is counted, tho tellers wait upon tho President and Vice-Pr?sident, and inform them of tho re? sult. These gentlemen simply signify their acceptance in a written statement to that effect, without signature, which is reported by tho tellers, and entered upon the journal, where it becomes part of tho record. The President holds no certificate or commission of any kind, and has no other recorded evi? dence of his right to hold office than this." -o Night work is somewhat bad for tho Jacobins. According to a radical print, tho recent night session of tho Senate opened up some splits in tho party that cannot bc easily healed up. FL. al Notice to State Tax-Payers.
