It offers no guarantee, such as all States usually require, of their agents or beneficiaries, that the appropriations will be used for Railroad purposes. Even supposing the Directors of. the various Railroads should make the wisest and most economical application of the funds entrusted to them, the result of this 'legislation, if it should, contrary to our opinion, prove valid, would be that the State jiets secu rity to the extent only of about -15 cents ou the 100 cents that the guarantees. 4. The undersigned particularly pretest agamst the Cth section of this act, which limits the State to a one-third stock vote in the Chatham Rail road management ; while at the same time if the 'act becomes operative the State will own directly nearly two-thirds of the entire stock of the road, and while the State also furnished the entire capital of the Company. For the foregoing and many other reasons the undersigned respectfully dissent from and protest against the passage of the act, and ask these reasons to bespread on the Journals. ' i. W. lu, John C.

An affair of the most lamentable character occurred at Halifax on Wednesday night, 2Gth, resulting in the killing of a young man named David Fitzgerald, of Norfolk, Ya., at the hands of CaDt. Thomas Rickets, of Baltimore. The particulars, as near as we learn then, are as follows : The two gentlemen in question were on a visit to 31 r David O. Laws, who lives at the Grove place just outside of Halifax, Capt. Rick ets being a brother-in-law of 3Ir Laws, aud young Fitzgerald Rickets' nephew. On the night in question the two gentlemen repaired to the Grove for the purpose of retiring. Fitzgerald, being somewhat excited with drink, was pacified (as thought) by his uncle, and they both retired in the same room. Between ten aud eleven o'clock Fitzgerald got up, in the dark, declaring that he intended to kill Capt. Rickets, procured a pistol from some point in the room, aud fired towards the bed which Captain R. was in. Finding himself thus attacked by the young man, Rick ets seized a double-barreled shot gun setting at the head of his bed, and fired two shots, the last, one striking Fitzgerald in the breast and passing through his lungs, the gun being loaded with squirrel shot. The whole affair transpired in the dark, neither party being enabled to see each other. Dr. John O'Brien was called in, and all the attention possible given the unfortunate man, but to no effect, his wound causing his death about three o'clock Thursday morning. The affair causrd a feeling of saduess to per vade the community, and we suppose none re gret its occurrence as much as Capt. R. The deceased aud Captain Rickets had just returned from a trip to Spain together, the latter being a sea-faring man. Fitzgerald's parents live iu Norfolk, whither his body will be conveyed for interment. Since writing the above, wc learn that a dis pute arose after the two had gotten iu bed, and Fitzgerald, acting under the influence of drink, got up, procured the pistol, and fired at Rickets, when the latter fired one barrel of the gun with the intcution of frightening Fitzgerald, but, find iug the deceased still bent upon killing him, he fired as Fitzgerald was cocking his pistol, with the result already stated.
