Blue Ridge Railroad swindle. Governor

^ ' COLUMBIA, S: 0., July 20. '
To Tan EDITOR OF THE NEWS: Since
the arrival of the News, of Saturday,
containing the expose of the machina?
tions ol the Blue Ridge Railroad Ring,
his. Excellency Governor Scott has been
as oross as a bear with a soro head. No
wonder. It is not pleasant to have a pro?
fitable little game held up to publio scorn ;
nor is it any consolation to know that
there is a' good chance of $1,000,000
(which bis Excellency expected to make)
slipping through one's fingers. Tho
whole radical ring here was struck dumb
with astonishment when it was found
that Soott intended to gobble np so big
a share of tho party spoils. The under?
strappers are mad, and Scott will either
have to go snacks with his followers or
make another contract in whioh there
will be less room for stealing.
GOVERNOR SCOTT'S REILLY.
I ob not know whether Governor Scott
intends to attempt any reply to the ques?
tions so pithily put by the News. You
might have saved yourself the trouble,
in any case. No one can disprove the
main allegations of my previous letter;
but in order to satisfy some of the Quid
Nuncs hero, I will say a few words in re?
gard to tho amount of tho bids of the
different contractors, the responsibility
of the different persons offering to do the
work, and the reasons why I charge Go?
vernor Soott with having a pecuniary in?
terest-direct or indirect-in the con?
tract awarded to Cresswell, (or Crissvill,
I don't know which,) Patterson and Sel?
lers.
THE BIDS.
I have before me, as I write, a detailed
statement of the price at whioh eacL
part of the work was proposed to be done
by the different contractors. This you
can have if you want it. At present, 1
will only give the gross amount in rou ne
numbers of each bid :
J. M. Christy & Co.$10,200,00(
Dudley. Bardwell & Co. 9,250,00(
Cresswell, Sellers & Co. 10,000,00(
D. Tyler & Co. 8,750,00(
J. A. Hunt. 8,200,00(
B. D. Hassell & Co. 7,600,00(
J. D. Ohamplin & Co. 8,800,00(
Engineer's estimate. 7,000,001
These are not the exact figures, bu
they are near enough. Now, I contend
that Christy's bid was only put in to bi
higher than Cresswell & Sellers' bid. I
was offered by a Mr. Kelly, representing
Christy Sc Co., who, after the ring wai
exposed, was charged to his face by Mr
ChampUn with being "interested" in thi
bid of Cresswell & Sellers. Kelly ap
pealed to Colonel Low, chief engineer o
the company, to say whether Christy'i
bid was not a bona fide one. Colone
Low made no answer. Kelly then denice
that he was "interested" in Cresswell S
Patterson's contract. A few minutes be
fore, he had told another gentleman tba
he had an interest in Cresswell':* con
traot. So muoh for Christy.
As I have already said, the amount
given show the original bids. Whei
Scott told the contractors that the bond
must not be touched, and that mono;
must be found to carry on the work fo*
nine or twelve months, those who hai
not been in tho secret (that is all bu
Creswell & Co.,) claimed the right t?
modify their bids. All of them put ii
second bids, except ll. D. Hassell, win
joined in with Champliu. Tho seconi
bids ran about ten per cent, higher thai
the first bids, except Champlin's, whiol
was increased very little, if at all, leavin?
it by far the lowest offer. Mind you, ul
the contractors were now on the sam
footing. But what did Scott do? H
deliberately proposed to Cresswell Sc Cc
to take the contract at about $9,000,00t
and they consented to take it. Here ar
the naked facts. Tho work, by chicaner
and double dealing, is given out r
$9,000,000, and I assert here, and it cai
not be gainsaid, that the whole work ca
be done, and done well, for $7,000,00
oash, or 7,500,000 in first mortgag
guaranteed ooin bonds. There is abm
$2,000,000 profit to be made as the jo
stands. What will be Scott's share? A
his time is short and ho has other iroi
in the firo, (State bonds, bauk bills, lan
sales, &o.,) he may bo satisfied to tak
only a million ! Who will now say thi
Scott is good for nothing?
As Cresswell it Co. reduced their bi
from $10,000,000 to $9,000,000, a corre;
ponding valuation must be made in tl:
charges for iron, Sec., contained in ni
first lotter. This would bring tho ire
down to about $120 nor ton-only 830
ton moro than the prico at whioh it cn
be delivered at Anderson. Thoro is
proportionate difference in the charge f<
chairs and spikes, which will stand i
twelve cents and thirteen nnd-a-hn
cents a ponnd, costing about five mul?
hall cents in New York.
WEBE THE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBLE PE
SONS ?
I will tell you all I know about tl
firms which offered to do tho work.
Of the firm of D. Tylor & Co., Gener
Tyler is the head, and it was represent?
by his Bon, who was formerly Superi
?o, ? i ????aw ?(????
neoted with General Tylor, and would, it
is believed, Lave been interested in the
B!uo Ridgo contract, ".thal
J. A. Hunt, of North Carolina, is said
to be highly responsible as a contractor.
He was present himself,'and was also
represented by Major Guliok, of ibis |
flaco. Colonel Childs, of this oity, cnn,
boliovo, givo a satisfactory account of
Mr. Huna, and the large interests which
ho represents.
B. D. Hasel 1, now of Now York, isa
native of Charleston, and comes from one
of the host families in the State. On
leaving college, he choose the profession
of civil engineer, and has for more than
twenty years boen connected with rail?
roads and other publio works. Mr.
Hasoll was Chief Engineer of the Quin?
cy and Toledo Railroad, Chief Engineer
and General Superintendent of the New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
Railroad, and of the Memphis and Ohio
Railroad, and during the war, was Presi?
dent of the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad. For tho past two years, he
bas been Genoral Agent of the Great
Southern Freight Lune via Charleston,
C. Mr. Hasell has the highest testi?
monials, is a first-rate engineer, and can
make as close an estimate of the value of
work as any niau in the country. He had
good backers in New York, and could
have given security for twice the amount
of the contract. *I am told positively
that Mr. Hascll's bid was injected be?
cause "it was so much lower than the
other bids." I say that it was rejected
because Scott was not a partner in the
concern.
J. D. Champlin has been a railroad
contractor for many years. He built the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad, did consi?
derable work iu Louisiana, had a
heavy contract on the North Missouri
Railroad, and is now carrying out a largo
contract in Now jersey. lie brought lotter.s
from prominent bankers in Now York,
and had a letter of introduction to Gov?
ernor Scott from General Sherman. No
usc. Dr. Scott was not in the ?hop.
Tho only persons of whom I can learn
but little are J. M. Christy & Co., and
Cresswell, Patterson & Sellers. They are
behoved to be Pennsylvania men. As I
said, Christy's bid was a mere blind.
I think I have made it very clear that
there were four responsible contractors
who offered to do the work at from $1,
000,000 to $1,500,000 less than the
price at which it was awarded to the
Pennsylvania firm of Cresswell, Patter?
son Sc Co. This is enough for my pur?
pose. It is not necessary to rob it in
ANOTHER REASON' WHY.
One big reason why Scott preferred
Cresswell to any other man, I forgot to
mention. Mr. Champlin proposed that
the $4,000,000 guaranteed bonds be de?
posited with a National Trust Company
in the North, so that they could not be
touched by the contractor or tho Go
vernor until tho proper timo came.
Cresswell Sc Co., on the contrary, said
that they were willing that the $4,000,
000 should be lodged in the hands of
Governor Scott and Stale Treasurer Parker.
Cresswell Sc Co. took the contract.
WHY SCOTT MUST BE A r AR TN ER IN TH!
CONTRACT.
I have not socn tho documents, and do
not kuow what the figures are, bat I say
that Scott is to h ave a plum out of the Blue
Ridge pie, for these reasons: The work
could be done, and was offered to be
done at $7,500,000, aud was awarded at
$9,000,000; Cresswell Sc Co. were allowed
to negotiate with Soott, whilo the other
contractors wore not; Cresswell & Co.'s
bid was not accepted, but Scott told them
they could have tho job at $9,000,000,
aud they took it; no similar opportunity
was given the other contractors; Cress
well Sc Co. were in constant communica?
tion with Scott, and squatted in his back
office tho day tho bids were opened; lob
bying, whispering and riding about with
Cresswell Sc Co. was going on all tho
time. These are my reasons, and they
satisfy me, as I believe they will satisfy tho
pooplo of the State, who remember the
manipulation of the State bonds and bills
of the Bank of the State, and who know
that, there is only one way in which a
man can make hundreds of thousands of
dollars out of $3,500 a year. Who would
not be tho radical Governor of a South
em State?
FIAT JUSTIT1A.
I have said my say, and said it without
malice. This whole Government is a
plundering, pilfering ring, whoso aim is
to make money quick, no matter how.
I know it, and you know it. My only
object in writing theso letters is to show
1 up ono of the biggest jobs on record-a
little brother of tho Pacilio Railroad job;
and to ask whether even our present Le
jislaturc will allow Scott to have full
swing, aud pilo upon tho State a load of
debt which uo people can bear. I do
not bolievo that their stomachs will staud
it, and if this bo so, thou will Cresswell,
Patterson Sc Co., and their siloutpartner,
como to unmitigated grief. Tho tax?
payers must remember that every mil?
lion of dollars wo spend represents $70,
000 a year in taxation. They can readily
see thut $10,000,000 for the Blue Ridgo
Ring means an addition of fifty per cent,
to our present tuxes. This is the wholo
matter in a nut-shell.
The PHOENIX, to-day, pitches into Scott
very handsomely. I leavo to-morrow for
the mountaius, and shall not be back for
a fortnight, when, if necessary, I will
again present my respects to his Excellen?
cy Governor Soott. LUX.

Of all thftt could be seen. I sav.it now,,
as I wrote it then, with a sickened heart,
that we have'the most corrupt Govern?
ment in the world. It is run by rings.
There is no moneyed interest in the land
that is without its ring in Washington.
They fill the hotels, throng the avenue,
and orowd the lobbies. Tho old Greek?
with his fabled lantern, would die ex?
hausted in his search for one honest man.
1 would exhaust my hour and your pa?
tience were I to attempt even to enu?
merate these interests. We have the
railroad rings, the land-jobbing rings,
the Indian Bureau rings, whiskey riugs,
the protection rings-that branch off in
Qvery conceivable direction. And they
were intriguing, caucussing, boring, and,
through wine and women, baiting with?
out cessation.
I do not wish to be understood os
charging that a majority of our Repre?
sentatives in Congress are dishonest men.
On the contrary, I was surprised to find
that, living in this atmosphere and under
these influences, there were so many
pure and upright men. But I will say,
without fear of successful contradiction,
that adding the incapables to the rogues
they made the majority. What bet?
ter can you expeot under our sybt*?ra of
selection? The question is no longer,
"Is ho capable; is ho honest; is ho a
friend to his country?" It is, on the
contrary, "Is he duly nominated by my
party, and is he sound ou my peculiar
principles?"
Not tho least disheartening part of all
tins is to be found in tho utter indiffer?
ence with which the public at large re?
gard all this. It is no longer a shame to
steal. IL has ceased to be a dishonor to
defraud. I saw Senators, who came to
Washington with scarcely money enough
to pay boarding-houso bills, rolling over
the street in splendid equipages, and en?
tertaining society in palatial residences.
They are now millionaires, and not only
tolerated, but followed, flattered, Bought
and sued by men and women who would
be honest were it the fashion to affect
that virtuo; and if you turn from men
who have made their fortunes out of
their places, it is to stare at men who
bought their way in. These Senatorial
chairs are put up at auction, and knookod
down to the highest bidders. The long?
est purse brains the opponent, and the
Hon. Ingot or the Hon. Greenback
stalks in, with just brains enough to make
up, through a sale of votes, the money
he has expended in securing his scat.
Old Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont,
called on the Harpers, one day, lighted a
good segar, took up a dozen numbers of
Punch, and took/his ease, as kindly as
Falstaff at his inn. One of the Harper
brothers brought a dozen religious ex?
changes, and asked him. if he would not
like to take them home to read on Sun?
day. "Oh, Harper!" exclaimed the old
divine, "how could yon? Here I am
with a fine si gar and this genial Punch,
at peace with all the world, feeling good
natured and thinking woll of my fellow
creatures. But if I should read those
papers, I would soon get irritated, cross
and disgusted with human nature. No,
I don't want them."

RB.-Very numerous and
ndncted experiments iu Eng
ernmny prove that oil cake
high, as a manare,'whether
.^itself, or in combination with
hot ' manares: iU ist <adai>tea 1 lo ail
hia?ud oropa. aira?. iLayinfraioa ali, tho
ingredients necessary to. tho growth of
plants, and,' especially, nineo it contains
io large quantity of those most necessary
ingredients, nitrogen, phosphoric acm
and potash.
The oil in the seed and in the oil oake
contributes nothing to its efficacy ns ma?
nure. On the contrary, it is rather a
hindrance since it retards decay. It fol?
lows, therefore, that the oake is greatly
superior to the seed, and that the more
thoroughly pressed the cake is the bet?
ter.
Oil cake is (from the largo quantity of
nitrogenous matter and the ease with
which it decomposes,) essentially a stimu?
lating manure, like Peruvian guano.
The following table gives tho value of
rape seed cake na compared with other
valued manures. Cotton seed cake is
still richer, both because the cotton seed
is more nitrogenous, and becauso tho
cotton need cake is free from hull:
1 cwt. rape need oil cake, equal to
18-20 cwt. stable dung.
1>2 owt. rape seed oil cake, equal to 1
owt. bone dust.
3 owt. rape seed oil cake, equal to 1
cwt. good Peruvian guano.
There can be no doubt that tho rela?
tive value of cotton seed cake is greater
than indicated by this table.
As PROVENDER.-As a flesh producer,
and therefore as food for growing or for
laboring animals, oil cake is probably
superior to the grains.
According to the experiments of
Lawes, the distinguished English Agri?
culturalist, tho manure deprived from
stock varies immensely in value accord?
ing to tho nature of tho food on which
the stock is fed. -The manure of stock
fed on cotton seed cake stands first on
his list, beiug more thou thirty times as
valuable as the manure from an equal
weight of turnips, and four times more
valuable than the manure? derived from
an equal weight of Indian corn.
Tho following is Mr. Lawe'o table,
showing the actual gold value of the ma?
il nre derived from 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) of
different foods:
Cotton seed cake, (hulled) $27.86;
rape seed cake, $21.01; linseed cake,
$10.72; maltdnst, $18.21 ; lentils, $16.51;
linseed, $15.65; tares, $15.75; beans,
$15.75; peas, $13.38; locust beans, $4.81;
oats, $7.40; wheat, $7.08; Indian corn,
$6.65; malt, $6.65; barley, $6.32; clover
hay, $9.64; meadow hay, $6.43; oats
straw, $2.90; wheat straw', $2.68; barley
straw, $2.25; potatoes, $1.50; mangolds,
$1.07; Swedish turnips, 91c. ; common
turnips, 86c. ; carrots, 86o.
There actual values aro of course only
correct for England, bat tho relative
values are of universal application, and
for this reason, this table deserves to be
studied by every farmer. The relative
values seem to be closely connected with
the amount of nitrogenous matter con?
tained in the food.
It is quito possible that this indirect
method of using the cotton-seed cake as
manure may prove most profitable to the
farmer. If so, the use of cotton seed may
largely replace the uso of corn in stock
feeding.
CONCLUSIONS.-The great value of cot?
ton seed, as manure for corn, is well
known to every farmer. Its value also
as provender, when stock will eat it, is
also well known. Now, there can be no
doubt that for both these purposes, the
oil cake is greatly superior to the seed.
As manure, it decomposes readily, and
may bo applied to all kinds of crops,
alone or in combination with other fer?
tilizers. As food, it is oaten readily by
stock, and is easily digestible. I believo
that a given quantity of seed hulled and
pressed into cake, though greatly di?
minished in weight, will go farther, both
as manure and as provender, than tho
seed from whioh it was pressed.

some nations, it is customary for men to

rulo by strength, both moral and physi?

hand with which he strikes. Woman's all

who intend kissing, we have this advice:
Do it nicely, it is an art, a science, and
a decidedly pleasant one.
