DEATH OP HEJJRY NUTT. On Sunday last,' at 0 o'clock, p. m., , one of the most honorable and valua ble citizens of this city and state paid the debt that we all must pay sooner or later. Henry Nutt is dead. How sad the tcord bounds when used about ordinary persons, but it is terrible when used concerning one who stood as high in the respect of the entire people of North Carolina, as did the subject of this article, lie was truly a good and useful man and valuable citizen . Mr. Nutt was in hia 74th year old in rears yet young in his general conduct, he uaa iiveu a long ana useiui me. x.nier lng in business when quite young, he soon became one, of "the leading mer chants nd business men of this city; always foremost in public enterprises, he had as much, if not more to do with the general prosperity of this city, pre vious to the war, than any other one man here, and when the rebellion came on he was -one of the wealthiest men in Wilmington. His money was made by bard $ork and honest, square dealing with his fellow man. The construction of the Wilmington & weiaon rauroaa was to a very large extent due to Henry N'ltt. He was one of the largest subscribers to the Wil ton & Manchester railroad, and served for many years as a director; he was twice tendered the Tresideucy of the road by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, but on account of private business declined the honor. He was large stockholder in the Deep Hirer Navigation Company, and was urged, by both stockholders and citizens to accept the position of President of said Company, but refused. He was ex ceedingly well posted concerning the history of the city, and the men of the olden times. After the war, Mr. Nutt having re tired from business, turned his atten tion entirely td the future prosperity of thS "!t ami i n tr a man of im( - J t mm hi.m w. IWI ability and judgment, he knew the first thing to be accomplished was to have our r river ai barao improved that larger ... T,i. ,L -w.. r fw. ekif should come to the waarrta of the ity. lid therefore went to work argi- . lating the question among our busioess men; the Chamber of Commerce held a special meeting toconakler the question, and snany of those who now clalaa great ' credit for the present isaprovements, did at that time everything ia their tower agaiost Mr. XuU's propositions. Notwithstanding the oatspokea oppo sition of some, and the coldness of nearly ail of the business acea to hia lel scheme, he finally succeeded ia hating a committeo appointed - to visit ; Washiagtoo and lay the matter before CVwrma, He was made chairman of the cowaoUtec.and spent many months at the eaploi loolbj after our iateresta, finally stteescdisg ia gettitgaa appro priation.

Tie chaaatl at the mouth of lh river at, once com menced improving. Then, for the first time, the doubts were removed, and those " who' had ; sneered at . Mr. Nutt nowl commenced claiming: Dart of the credit, and from that day certain men began to show considerable jealousy ol the honorable laurels worn so modestly by him, and finally tbey drove him from the work. Fo three years the Chair man of the Chamber of Commerce re fused to allow his! reports to be published,- or to call meetings of the Cham ber so Mr. Nutt could make his written reports jo that body. Tne writer of this being ia personal consultation often with, him, could see the very great mor tification with which he submitted to these official insults, saying but little concerning them, from the fear of in juring the work that he lsved so dearly, And finally an open rupture took place between A. H. VanBokkeien, Chair man of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr; Nutt in our presence, Mr. Van Bokkeien outrageously insulting him but on the presentation of Mr. Nult's cane to Mr. YanBokkelen's nose he did not repeat his cowardly conduct, Mr. Henry Nutt was a rery modest and ua assuming gentleman, but bravo as a lion when aroused. j; ; Some time during the month of Oc tober Mr. Nutt tendered his resignation of the chairmanship of the river and bar improvement committee, a position he had hejd for eleven -"years, and for eight years he was allowed to serve to the credit of himself and his committee.- From the time he was virtually driven from an active participation in the work, the detailed management of it has been? exceedingly disgraceful? Bacon and VanBokkeien insulting' and snubbing him on all occasions, they finally accomplished their great' aim, and forced him to resign, and from that day Mr. Nutt's health has been failing, caused by the conduct of those who had charge of the work. He could see why they had such antipathy to him and it mortified kim to think that the improve ment was made to serve such, base purpo ses, until on Sunday last, in the ripe old age of 74, a beloved husband and fath er, and a high toned, honorable, chris tian gentleman and citizen, breathed his last, : We honestly believe that the early death of Henry Nutt, Esq., is due to the treatment he received at the hands of A. H. VanBokkeien and Henry Ba con." ',. ' " . Bat the name of Henry Nutt will live among the great men of the 19ih cen tury. He has a monument across New Inlet that will stand for all sgeg.

He says 'the anti-Bourbon Democracy combination is gaining ground every lday. The people, he ssys, are tired of the corrupt ring that now has charge of state affairs, and the Democratic prohibition bill was the ''last hair that broke the! camels back;'' that the people bad submitted to have their rights ta ken from ihem in local self government by Jarvis and his crowd; they had sub-; mitied to many other flagrant outrages, but at last they wsre aroused by the prohibition bill and voted it down, now while they are at it they intend to have the rieht to elect their own local otneers, and will retire the present pro hibition state government to the shsdes of private life, j - ' Mr. Lutterloh has no doubt but what the state is Republican by 25,000 ina jority, but he says,: notwithstanding all that he is in favor of a combination with the liberal Democrats who are in favor of "a free ballot and a fair count,' "local self-gorernment'and equal rights to all men before the law.

As Republicans we haTe noth ing to do with the family fight between Messrs. Vance,' Jarvis and Worth; but it is within our province, as a party, to take advantage, in a legitimate way,. of any facta that may hve come to the surface in the melee., go in reviewing the history of this railroad business in the discussions from IXmocatie sources, we discover: . K , 1. About the time tor the meetiog of the Democratic Convention to nomi nate a candidate for Governor, and other officers, in order to beat Judge Fowle, Gov. Jarvis made a bargain with the Bichmond and Danville peo ple by which that monopoly was to give- him the nomination and in con bideration therefor he was to turn over to them the office of Governor as to the railroad policy of the state. 2. Pending the election Best's syndi cate' came to grief and the matter of the sale of the Western N. O. Railroad was about to end- in disaster to the Democratic ticket. . Jarvis hastens to Col. A. B. Andrews, the R. & D manip ulator in North Carolina, with -additional promises end guarantees.' " An drews .shelled out the cash, and the election (so called) was saved, v . -3. After the election, "Jarvis" being duly installed, the monopoly, known as the Richmond and Danville Syndicate, feeling secure in its possession of the Executive, began .measures to reap the har?t of the corrupt bargain made, which subsequently brought Vance to hia feel; and Jarvis by way of covering his tracks wrote a saucy letter to the syndicate with die threats as to what he should do should the K. & J. peo ple persist in their discriminations and extortions against the, North Carolina cities and towns and! the public at large, said letter being thoroughly un derstood by the syndicate and as well seen through by the people .at the merest feint. - . v ; . . 4. Then the irrepressible Best gets up another syndicate, this time fa Boston, sad probably by ways that were dark and tricks that were vain, obtains from v ance, Jarvis and Worth, Commission err, a written pledge to declare, upon certain condition?, a forfeiture of the contract under which the Raleigh and Danville mo'nopyly held the Western North Carolina Railroad. 'The contin gency cu which the forfeiture was to be maJe happened; Vance proposes toi sta nd up to the rack, Andrews gets' wind oi the news, collars Jarvis, Jarvis flies ihe track,! inviggles Worth into i?ning an agreement for an extension of time to tie Raleigh and Danville reopk; Worth afterwards 'hopes-, he hasn't 'played the dcril, then Jarvis re fuses to deliver 'the goods to Best and laughs at Vancd : : ,1 " " Note that this was the straw that Ln-ke editor Latham's back, who clear ly lu;imat that the eonsideratitpi which Jarvi ;q7rZAeefecfio,received from the Raleigh and Danville was a valua lie one. his words beine. "that the man jKJarvis) should stoop and bend himself to aonars ana cents. , r Again: Gav. Jarvis, ia the News and Ofsjcner card above alluded to, ssys: "I, . at the time of my inaugural ad dress, urcd the creation of a railroad commission, composed of three of ouf best citizens.' For cause, tchich need not now be ghe, the measure did not be come a law, although both Houses by verv large majorities favored it ' Hereby bangs a tale which it mar be the writer can unfold. The people res tive under - the oppressive measures of certain railroads demand relief. The lait legislature, appreciating this, un dertook to enact the necessary legisla tion. Mr. Thomas, the excellent rap r(s.ntative from Davidson county, after au arduous struggle succeeded in get ting through the House a bill with ple nary powers to check the railroads. This bill was duly sent to the Senate, at least three weeks before the adjourn ment. ; It was oromDllv refirrM tn tha committee on internal improvements of which Senator, Staples of Guilford, was chairman.
