Telegraph & Messenger. THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24. 1871. A GREAT RAUROAD SENSATION. AlIrKCd TnmpcrlnR With the Governor of Alabama— How the People were to he Swindled—Lindsay and hi* Friend McKay Chicago Tim oa New York Special- ] Railroad circles in New York are exceedingly interested over Iho Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad bribery case. It is alleged by one I. Richards, the secretary of the railroad company, that certain bonds, money, etc., were given to one Nathaniel McKay, for the purpose of bribing Governor Lindsay, of Alabama, to neg lect the interests of the State, and, in violation of his bounden duty, advance the interests of tbo road in question. In this allegation lies the whole story, the details and incidents of which axe rich,” rare and racy, and promise to become moro interesting and exciting as the case progresses. THE PARTIES. Nathaniel McKay is a brother of Donald Mc Kay, the famous shipbuilder of Boston. They were associated together for several years. When they separated, Nathaniel entered into the business of bnildmg locomotives in Jersey Oity. Nathaniel was ono of those jolly, good- natured men who aro always popular, and al ways great favorites with their associates and business customers. Ho kept bis fast team, and was what might be called a man of tho world and a man about town in tbo metropolis. Sel dom a day passed that he was not seen driving out some prominent Southern or Western rail road man. It was not only in this way that he accommodated bis friends, lint, if tbo secrets of out-of-the-way places could bo written, many mysterious and poculiar railroad adventures would be brought to light in which Nathaniel McKay and other railroad mon well known in the South and West wero prominent actors. It was in this way that Mr. McKay becamo ac quainted with tho officials of tho Alabama and Chattanooga railroad. Always ready to sell a locomotive (although McKay says there is very little margin nowadays), these officials wero dined and winod ana feted until, finally, their hearts wero ro-opened, and they disclosed to McKay tho condition of tho road. It was behind hand oxtremely, and its finances were low. Tho State, by virtue of tho mortgages and securities it held, had tho power to seize the road and its appurtenances at any timo, and altogether they were in a desperate strait There were numerous caucuses and private and mysterions interviews. When tho Governor of Alabama (who bad tbo power under tbo consti tution and tbo provisions of the securities to seize the road) arrived in Now York, McKay took him in hand, Gov. Lindsay had a South erner's genuine love of a good horse, and an artistic eye for the beautiful as exemplified in the person of a portly woman. Therefore nearly every day Gov. Lindsay and McKay wero to be seen riding together on tho avenuo, tho boulevard, and tho Central Park, where all these conditions wero fulfilled. They wero both Scotchmen, add their tastes naturally ran in the same grooves. What McKay’s object was in thus feting Gov. Lindsay can bo imagined when the sequel is known. THE SEQUEL. It was now well into the spring. The January interest bod not been paid to tho State, and it was the duty of Gov. Lindsay to seize the road to protect the creditors. The object of the man agers was to stavo off this seizure if possible, and Mr. Nathaniel McKay was selected to bring about this consummation so devoutly to be wished. On the 12th of April Mr. I. Richards, Secretary of tho Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad (as appears in his affidavit now on file in the sheriff’s office in New York city), gave to Nathaniel McKay, as agent of the company, certain cash, notes and stocks. He swears that these consisted of three notes of $5000, at 4, C and 8 months, drawn to the order of the com pany, and indorsed by them; 200 shares of tho capital stock, par valne §50, which were mado payable to McKay’s order, at bis request; §100,000 in second mortgage bonds—L e., 100 bonds, par value $1000, numbering from 2180 to 2279 inclusive, and also $5000 cosh. Thus McKay received, in all—bonds, notes, stocks and cash—the neat little snm of $200,000, with which, so the secretary of tho company says, be was to bribe the Governor of the proud old State to assist them to still farther swindle its creditors. McKay denies thissoftimpeachment. His version is, that these bonds, notes, etc., wero given to him personally for his services in getting from Gov. Lindsay a certain letter where in the Governor assures the company that itlsnot his intention to seize the road. The company took it for granted that McKay wonld have to pay the Governor for so extraordinary a letter, and after having received tho same they thought they wore all right; so they congratulated McKay, and McKay congratulated himself, and over sundry bottles of Piper niedsick there was con siderable chuckling and mntnal admiration, all at tho expense of the good people of the State of Alabama. Tho railroad people returned to their road, the Governor to bis executive man sion, and McKay continued to drive his fast horses, and sell locomotives on a very small margin. The Alabama and Chattanooga Rail road Company were, however, rudely awakened from their dream of security, one fine day. One of the Governor’s agents appeared with the proper papers and seized the road, appurtenan ces, rolling stock, etc., and there was conster nation and some not very prayerful language in the office of the company. With veDgefnl heart nnd paeked valise Mr. Richards hurried in hot haste to Now York and made tho affidavit re ferred to on which McKay was unceremoniously arrested. The railroad company wanted him held to bail in the sum of $200,000, but Judge Cardoza put tho bail at $50,000, which was fur nished by McKay in tho person of C. K. Garri son, tho well known and wealthy steamship man. THE CREAM OF THE JOKE. And now comes the cream of the joke. Tho railroad company want their money back, bnt McKay says be performed his work and only got half pay for it. He thinks tho considera tion very small, for tho notes will go to pro test and the bonds aro worthless. He claims that these bonds are an over-issue to thirty-one and a half miles of side track, which wero not authorized by the aot passed by the Legislature. The company got $500,000 of these bonds signed by the former Governor of the State. One of tho trustees at Boston got an injunction restraining the company from issuing the bonds, but they got the injunction removed and issued and sold them in Philadelphia. Gov. Lindsay will not now recognize them, nor will the State pay the interest on them. This, McKay claims, renders them practically useless, and he'has only the $5,000cash to show for all his arduous services in inducing tho Governor to see the advantage of writing the letter the company wanted. He however, intends to hold on to notes, stocks, bonds, cash, etc., waiting, Mioawber-like, for something to turn up. It is a clear case of dia mond ent diamond, and from the' present ap pearances McKay’s diamond is a little the hard- ert and doing the most of the cutting. He swears that Lindsay is a personal friend, and that he never approached him with any corrupt proposition, and that he never gave him or of fered to give him any portion of the $200,000. As tho matter stands, it is looked upon with considerable interest among the prominent rail road men, and there is ranch speculation as to its result. McKay, entirely unconcerned, and as jolly as ever, still drives his team on the road, and is as ardent an admirer of the fair sex as ever. JNO. W.

THE MOORE COTTON GIN. ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF THE GBISWOLD GIN, FORMERLY AT DOUBLE WELLS. T HE undersigned, having reBnmod the manufacture of the above Gin, propose to make it what itwas before the war The favorite of the South. Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent in the North- and who was employed as Superintendent of 1 , . manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, and will give each Gin his personal inspection before it leaves the shop. .... , ,, .... In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they should notice the mprove- ments Uiat°we offer, which are substantially as follows: A PORTABLE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclinatien of tho Gin Kb or Grate, is used; tho object of which is to improve in the quantity ginned, or lessen the quantity and improvo tho quality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wet cotton to alter tho picking or separating the lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. Hie latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very'easily managed. THE GIN BRUSH We make cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all drawn in by a cord, and the timber is all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned; and every Brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof. CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES Are both oscillating and plain. Can furnish 6ither, as may be ordered. We line them with the best babbit metal. GrliV SAWS. We make all the Saws that we use from tho best English Cast Steel, and of any size that may be de sired- We employ, to superintend and manufacture oar Saws, one of the best saw-makers in the South; and our machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled. COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL. We aro the only succestfnl mannf.ctnrers of this important and useful invention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be necessary here to allude to the immense saving and economical use of crushed cotton seed, as a manure. We received a gold medal as a premi um, from the Fair of tho Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Macon, Ga., 1860, for the best Cotton Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crush the seed as fast aa it escapes from the Boll We re fer to some of the many certificates that we have on the subject. TRIAL OF THEE GINS. Wo keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop-old or new ones. _ REPAIRING OE OLD GINS. W Wo havo a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in tho country, and make re pairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do well to sodcI in their old Gina, and have them made as good as new, at a much less cost than a new Gin can be bought for.
