Sfpr.RiOR CoiRT.—The Sjiring Term (d‘ the Superior Court for this county—Judge Heath presiding—cominenced this morning. There is plenty of business, civil and criminal, before it. My.sterioU.s Af’FAlR.—We are informed that a mare—blaze on her face, and two of her hind feet white—was recently found on the elge of a large pocosin, .ome seventeen or eighteen miles •south of this place, on the road leading to Floral College, dead. From appearances, she had been blindfolded and knocked in the head with an axe, as the indentation was visible. The friend who communicates these facts a.sks: Can thi.s horse have any connection with the Opinion statel in reply: “The contract stipulated that we were to j>ro- vide the road “with all and every fixture and work that may, in the judgrueiit of the Chiel Engineer, be retjuired li;r the .speedy and .sate tran.'it of locoinotiv es with their trains.” Hut in this exerci.se of judgment the Chief Engineer was clearly to be govt rned onh' by the spirit of the contract, which would ]>revent his re(uiring of us work not contemplated under his estimates. The contiact also provided, that “all materials and all work to be subject to the insp«‘ction of the Chief Engineer, or st>nie one to be a[ipointed by him;” but this was not to be so construed as to justify capriciousneas or di.splays of arbitrary pow er, coupled with great injustice. Again, the con tract jirovided that “1110 (,’hief Engineer shall in all cases decide every question whieh may arise relative to the execution of this contract on the murdered man recently found in the ('ape Fear j part of.said contractor; and his decision shall be river about Avera.sborough? The flistawe from Averasborough to where the horse was found is just about a day t>r a night’s ride; and from ap pearances the murdered man and the horse were killed about the .same time. Can any one recol lect of .seeing such an animal as we have described about the latter part of April or the first ot May passing over anv of the roads between .\veras- tinal and conclusive.'’ But even this would not justify a decision at variance with a fair construc tion of the contract—and a fair construction was all that we ever desire«l.” There is another point in the Defence requir ing brief notice, as bearing upon the Report of the Investigating ('omniittee. Near the close a letter is introduced from .fudge Saunders to Gen. Alex. McRae, one of the contractors, in which the Judge ]\ew York JLed^^er for ]flay !il. Harper’s Weekly tbr Hay 14.
