SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1881. governor's message concluded. and investigation, that it will be better for aaca -institution to bave tyi own local board, and I so advise. After calling attention to sec. 7 of article XI of the constitution, and chap. 93 of Battle Revisal, he says : An ef ficient board f public charities, com posed chiefly xf physicians, could be made of great service in visitiag aad inspecting the penal and charitable in stutions of the State, and especially in looking into their sanitary condition, and medical' treatment of the inmates. The adoption of the amendment to the constitution concerning the insane, the deaf, the dumb and the blind, ren ders necessary some legislation deter mining who shall and who shall not be considered indigent. After you have fixed the rule, I advise that you re quire all indigent applicants to be re ceived first, and that no pay patient shall be admitted till all the indigent have been provided for. INSTITUTION FOR TIIE DEAF AND DUMB AND THE BLIND. An appropriation of $34,000 a year is recommended. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Commending the Agricultural De partment for its efforts in developing ur resources and fostering our agri cultural interests, the Governor de scribes the special efforts in behalf of immigration and expects good results therefrom. He continues: If nothing else had been done, the protection giv en to the farmers against worthless fertilizers, has more than ten-fold over r- compensated for all the labor and ef ' pen so 01 tne department xmipro iiw department was established, there were many tons of staff sold in the State ' called fertilizers, which were not worth the cost of transportiorf This inani tion cannot be renewed so long as the department does its duty, and the farmers rely upon the analyses made by the learmed chemists employed by the board. The new may of the State and the sec ond volume of the Geological reports are recommended as accurate and com- plete.and the Governor concludes his re marks on this suoject as ioiiows: as the whole expense of the geological - work, under the laws of 1879, chap. 50, has to be Daid bv the Agricultural De partment, I beg to suggest that the second section of Said . chapter be re pealed, and the Board of Agriculture authorized to select the geologist, as they do the commissioner and chemist, I further advise that the board by au thorized, out of the funds of the de partment, and with the use of convict labor, and material furnished be the penitentiary, to put up on Nash square or such other place as you rnay direct, an agricultural building for the use of tne department, xne rents paia Dy this department amounts to nine huir- dred dollars a year. The Geological Museum is probably one of the most extensive and valuable in any State in the Union. This museum is much vis ited by persons in search of in form a tion concerning the wealth and re sources of the State, and here they find specimens from nearly every county to interest and instruct them. This valu able collection ought to be permanent ly located in a building belonging to the State, known as the "Agricultural Building, where it can be sateiy pre served. And besides it is but meet and proper that there should be at the capi tal a handsome building, dedicated to the agricultural interests of the State, so tnat wnen tnose engaged in tins pur suit visit the capital they may know there is a place where they can learn something of the agriculture and re sources of all sections of their State. THE SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court Judges are great ly over-worked. It is almost impossi ble for the present number to do the work that goes into that conrt. They certainly cannot rive to the cases the thought and patient investigation that they desire. or tins mere are two remedies one, to increase the number of iudres, and the other to so regulate appeals as to diminish the work to bo done. Since the abolition of the tax fee the cost of taking a case to the Supreme Court has been so insignificant that the most trivial cases, as I am informed, are taten up; many, indeed, simply to delay execution, -at would give considerable relief to the judges, I am advised, if they had the power to employ a man to attend upon them in their consultation, to get the books thoy require, and to hunt up the references. This help can be. given them without the cost of a penny to the State Treasury by imposine a tax fee of ten dollars on all appeals in all civil cases, and five dollars in all criminal cases, for the benefit of the bupremo Court .Library. This person should be the Supreme Court Libra rian, and required to give bond for the custody and safety of the books. He should be required to make and keep a complete catalogue of all the books be longing to the library,, open at all times to the inspection of the judges, and at all times subject to their control and. orders, i advise tnat you give them thi3 assistance, impose this tax fee for the use of the library, and restore the twenty dollar attorney's tax fee. This. ' in my opinion, will greatly reduce the werfc oi tne court, without doing in justice to any one. ine costs now in a case in the Supreme Court are about nine dollars. They are lets than they frequently are in the. court of a justice of the peace. Fifty dollars, twonty for the library, twenty for at torney's fee, and ten for other costs) would not be unreasonable, with the law sun in iorce tnat allows tne poor to sue la forma pauperis. Bren if you should determine to sub mit an amendment to the constitution to increase the number of judges, then seme such help as l have suggest ed will be necessary, for it will be two years before the increase, if adopted, can go into effect. THE SUPERIOR COURTS. t The dockets of the Superior Courts in many of the large counties are so crowded that in some of them it is al most impossible to get a civil case tried without a special term. The time of the judges is so much taken up with their regular courts that it is not often that a judge can be had to hold a spe cial term. I regard it as the imperative duty of the Legislature, imposed upon them by the constitution, to provide courts for the people sufficient for the transaction or their business with promptness and dispatch. This neces sity for more courts can be met in two wavs One, to increase the present number of Superior Court circuits and judges; the other, to establish two or more criminal circuits, each circuit to be composed of several counties, which need not be contiguous. These circuits, S established, should include those counties where .more courts are so reatly needed; and in such counties thTcourt should be relieved of all enm inalTurisdictiotL After mature reflec t?S,3Iatly incline to the criminal circuits; and earnestly recommend their adoption. I believe this system, win wVrkNrell, and after it is tried. wgl be popular The judges and 0llcittt8 or lb?courts snoula be elected by the Legislature, and the salary flf th W : os made sufficient to command the ser vices of the best lawyers. The judges Should be required to hold at least three courts a year in each county, with pow er in some one to order other terms if necessary. No court requiring; a iury or witnesses, either civil, criminal, in ferior or superior, should be held in the month of Juno. . Our neonle are -emi nently an agricultural people, and toM take a large number of labborers out or t.h fUlds fnr & week, as is now done in many of tbe counties in the busy month OI l UliO, IS SGXIVUa lUJUljr nv era of ,that,cpunty. ' ' , CODIFICATION OF THE LAW. Idesiro-to proas upon, you lhe impox. tance of appointing a commission to codify the statute law of the State. The last codification was Battle's Revisal, w.hio.h has been amended, and the laws amending that repealed and amended, till in many instance it is aimumi, c ven for a skillf ul lawyer, to tell exactly what the statute law is. I know of nothing to come before you of more im portance to the people tnan tnis, anu beg you not to adjourn without appoint ing sucu a commission. THE PARDONING POWER. I herewith transmit the list of re- Brieves, commutations ana paruuHi ji i granted since the last biennial message, witn tne miormauon in cauu cc ie- quired by the constitution. From this list it will be seen that I granted in 1879. Reprieves " Commutations 2 Pardons 16 Total 25 1880. Reprieves Commutations 3 Pardons 46 Total 53 After referring to the duties and re sponsibilities of this power delegated by the constitution to tne governor, ne says: mere ougut to De a uoaru oi pardons, and l advise tue creation oi such a board, even if a ebango in the constitution be necessary. ..-in, some States the Supreme Court compose saeh a board ; in others the btate omcers. In ours it might be either or both. THE SWEPSON CASE. During the administration of Gov ernor (Jaidwen, an indictment was found in WakejSuperior Court against Geo. W. Swepsdh and M. S. Littlefield for obtaining the bonds of the State un der false pretenses. A farce of a trial was had before Judge watts, and, in the absence of the defendants, he or dered a "verdict of "not gulty" to be en tered, and the State appealed. The ap peal, after being in the Supreme Court a long time, was finally decided against the defendants, during the admmistra tion of Gov. Vance, who employed counsel to prosecute the case. This case has twice since been to the Su preme Court on collateral questions, and both times the decisions have been in favor of the State. The counsel em ployed by my predecessor have been paid the sums agreed upon between him and them. Having given you this information as to the origin and pro gress of the case, 1 forbear to make any remarks upon it except to express the hope that it may soon be Drought to a fair and impartial trial upon the merits of the case, without any iurtner unnec essary delays. "Here follows an account of the Gov ernor's attempts to capture Littlefield. THE PERRY CAgE. In October last, the solicitor of the third judicial district sent me a certified copy of a bill of indictment, found against one Perry, in the county of Le noir, tor the forgery of a school order. He said he had information that Perry was in Washington city, and requested me to make my requisition upon the authorities of the District of Columbia for his arrest and delivery. This I did, and dispatched Dr. Bagby, of Kinston, as a messenger to bring the fugitive back to North Carolina for trial. After some delay, the warrant was issued by the executive officer of the district, and the arrest was made ; but Perry was at once taken in charge by the marshal. under a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Wylie. Dr. Bagby employed good counsel to represent the State. The trial assumed the aspect of apoliti cal inquisition against the State of North Carolina. Instead of trying the case upon' the papers before' hm, the Judge proceeded to try the State upon the testimony of the defendant, bis wife and mother, as to whether the man could get a fair trial if , he should de liver him up to the State's agent. I doubt if any judge has ever done the ate oerore. -ferry, or course, was re leased, and the attorneys for tbe State appealed to the general term. The Hon ft. T. Merrick and Davis. Esq., are the attorneys that represent the State, and they have agreed to prosecute the appeal without further charge. RAILROADS ATLANTIC AND NORTH CAROLINA. The Ailantie ,aod North Carolina Railroad .Company5 is in. a fairly pros perous conditiou. lor the last two years, it has met promptly all its obliga tions.and paid promptly, the accruing interest on. its bonded and judgment debt. The bended debt is $195,500, at eight per cent. intreBt,'tad the -judg ment aent X37,474atixer cent. JNo part of 4his Indebtedness' was contract ed in the last two years. During thi3 time, I am informed, the company has paid cash for all its purchases, and has spent considerable snms in repairing roadway and roUingStock. So oral oiV fers have been made within the last year for the lease of this property and on the 23d day of November, a meeting of the stockholders was held to consider these prepositions. As it was out" short time prior to yoiir assembling; I took the responsibility of preventing any change in the status oi this proper ty till you could be heard. The private stockholders held a meeting, after the adjournment of the company meotirfg, and passed resolutions expressive of their opinions and wishes as to the proposed lease. ' I send you herewith a copy or tne proceedings oi their meet ing. I rom this it will be seen that they are clearly Tn favor of a lease, and a majority of them to the Wilmington ana yv eiaon itaiiroad Company. I have Stated on more than one occasion, both feublicly and privately, that this road was built chiefly for the benefit of the people east of Goldsboro, and that I desired to see it managed and onera ted in ths way best calculated to develop and build up that section of the State, and that I had no poucy or wishes in antagonism to the wish of the private stockholders along its line. It is now for you to give such directions concerning this property as you may think the interests of the State and the Atlantic section demand, and your ac tion shall control. In the event you take no Action, I shall not further inter tere in the matter, one wav or the oth er, but shall leave that question, as I do all others, to be settled by the com pany, without interference on my part. ALBEMARLE AND OIIESAFEAKE CANAL COMPANY. An act was passed on the 14th day of February, 1879, chapter 305, authorizing the public treasurer to exchange tbe stock of the State held in this company for the bonds of the State, but there was a provision unwisely, as I think, inserted in the act, by which this au thority expired on the 1st day of Janu ary, 1880. The company returned to the treasurer before the act expired one hundred thousand dollars in old bonds, and he surrendered to the company that much stock. The State still holds two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of stock in this company. CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VAttBT RAIL ROAD. ' Ths work on this road has progressed more rapidly than was expected. The grading has been completed to Greens boro and fifty miles beyond, and it is now ready for the iron. NegotiationsJior the sale of the first mortgage bonds of tbo company, authorized by the act of 1879, are going on, ana it ib ueuercu euuuju money will oe reanzea irom me sio to iron and equip the road to Greensboro. Only $30,000 of $50,oou appropriated was paid out bv the Treasurer in ad justing the indebtedness of the compa- ny. The oniyaio tne tawi is now-gij-ing this important work is the main- titaiwof the convicts, for whictrsho is to receive the first mortgage bonds of the company. Upon those already received the interest has been promptly paid. The State, then, is taking the same kind of security for her convict labor that capitalists take for then- money, which pavs for the irdn and rolling stock. This the State can well afford to do ror tnis or any otner sec tion, and I advise its continuance. By such a use of the convict-labor the crime of the-State can be made to con tribute largely to the development of sections much in need of better trans portation facilities. This road, I be lieve, will soon be running to Greens boro, it will tnen do only necessary to fill the gap of thirty miles between Fayetteville and Luniberton to open up another ana snorter lino or railway from Wilmington to Greensboro. With that or some such connection mads and the road pushed as rapidly as possible into the northwestern counties, the benefits- derived from a road running diagonally across the State will be felt and appreciated by a large belt of the State from Wilmington to the moun tains. For the earnings of the convicts on the road I refer you to the report of the board of directors of the Peniten tiary. "WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The purchasers of the State's inter est in this road have thus far complied with their contract with the btate. They have paid promptly the hire of the convicts, and the interest on the first mortgage bonds of the company, as they contracted to do. They have paid off the floating debt of the company and have laid down about two miles of new iron. Their $30,000 deposit is still in the Citizens' National Bank of this city, as collateral security for the faith ful performance of their contract. Owing to the hindrances and delays n, effecting their organization, the work Upon the road has not progressed as rapidly as was expected; but tnere are now five hundred convicts at work, and I am informed by the owners, as seon as the open weather of spring comes, the construction will be pushed rapidly forward on both lines. CONSTRUCTION BONDS. The Legislature, on the 14th day of March, 1879. ratified an act (chap. 138) to provide for an adjustment or that part of the btate debt incurred in aid of the North Carolina Kailroad. By this act I was required to appoint three commissioners to make the settlement. This duty was performed by me by the appointment of the Hon. George Davis, of the city of Wilmington, Hon. Mont f ord McGehee, of the county of Person, and Donald W. Bain, Lsq., of the city or iiaieign. i hey entered at once up on the labors assigned them. The steady advance in the bonds, in com mon with all classes of securities, the Swasey suit, and a second lien upon the otate s stock in tavor of bonds issued to the Western Jorth Carolina Kail road, raise difficulties and caused de lays in reaching anything like an agree menu borne time early in .November the bondholders had a conference with one of the commissioners in person and a plan of adjustment was agreed upon and signed by the bondholders, representing about two millions, and the commissioners. I herewith send you a copy of the agreement and the re port of the commissioners, which I earnestly commend to your patient consideration. By the terms of the act, the adjust ment could not be consummated with out the approval of the Governor and Treasurer. While we knew the com missioners had done the best they could, after taking a business view of the situation, we felt that to fix a new oeot or $2,7uO,ooo upon the people was a matter so serious that we ought to wait till you assembled, and learn what the people desired. We consequently determined to withhold our approval and submit the whole matter to you. In your investigation or this irapor portant question, those who are not familiar with the facts may rind the following information serviceable. The State is the owner of $3,000,000 of stock In the North Carolina Railroad Compa ny, 'and the private stockholders of 81,000,000. To pay for this stock, the State in 1853-54-55, issued her bonds to run for thirty years, at six per cent. interest; and to secure their payment' pledged the dividends accruing on her stock -for the payment of the interest and the stock itself for the payment of the bends. In 1866, 3205.0UO of these bonds were taken up in exchange for stock held bv the State in the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Company, and by investments made by the literary board leaving outstanding $?2,79u,000. 1 he in terest then due on these bonds was fueded in 18G8, under the funding act of August of that year. The road was leased to the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Company in 1871 for six and a nan per "cent, on -the capital stock, and very soon thereafter a suit, known as the Federal Court, to subject tbe lease money to the payment of the interest on these bonds. The court made the order and appointed Hon. S. F. Phillips receiver to receive and pay out tne dividends. This fund has been suf ncient to pay the interest on such or th bonds as have been presented up t and including, 1 think, the January in terest. 1877. There has been about $2,- 600,000 of thse bonds presented to the receiver, upon which the interest has been paid. The reason the others have not been presented is, the holders do not know their value. This is known to be so, for quite a number recently presented to the receiver were hrs presented to, the Treasurer tq be fund ed. and it was from him the holders first learned their value. The interest on tne otner jpiyo.uuu is unpaia irom January, 1869, and it 13 fair to presume that tney win an De nnany presented These bonds fall due in 1883-84-85, and unless some adjustment is made before that time, the States stock will be sold If an adjustment is made on the basis suggested, the receipts from the lease of the North Carolina Railroad will be sufficient to pay the interest on the State bonds, and leave a surplus of some 812,090 annnally, provided th present status of the road is continued But if the lease should fail, or the road for any reason become non-paying, then the amount of tax to be raised out of the peoplo for that purpose will be at least $170,000 each year. V hen this act was passed, both the Treasurer and my self favored its passage, for at that time the bends were worth from sixty to sixty-five cents, and it was thought they could betaken up witha newbond at seventy and seventy-five cents. Soon after the passage of the act, these bonds, like most other securities, began to advance, and have continued .to do so, till now they are worth about nine ty cents. The holders are not likely to accept a new bond for less than they can sell the old in cash. Ia any consideration I have given to this matter, I have regarded the follow ing as the settled fixed policy of the State: That however little regard there may have been paid to the old obligations of "the. State, all her new obligations must be held sacred and in violable, and the interest promptly paid on' any new bond she issues, no matter what may come. Hence new obliga tions ought not to be entered into with out due consideration, and it was in a great degree, this feeling to stand by the new obligations at all hazards, that induced mo tu refer this whole matter to the representatives of. the people. whose debt it will be. Capitalists will allowed to construct roads anywhere in the State they choose, wit,h their own money, and no section shall be de prived of railroad facilities because it may hurt a road ia'which. the State has or has not an interest. If you agree with me in this, the question whether any roads are likelv to be built that will render the North Caro lina Railroad less valuable than now. becomes an important inouirvin vour consideration of any adjustment. In fact, the whole question hinges very much upon the probable future of the North Carolina Railroad. In taking leave of this subject, I will nly venture to make these sugges tions: First, fix a price at which vou are willing for the exchange to be made or new bonus, second, give the com missioners the authority to exchange stock for bonds, giving the bondholders the option, with the distinct under standing that if they decline both and sell the stock, no matter what it brings, its proceeds will be all they will ever get. If anything is done, the second mortgage makes it necessary to retain the commissioners and the transactions to be had through them. CENTENNIALS. The Governor then speaks of the centennial celebrations. He states that there is unexpended of the King's Mountain fund $440; states that he has sent 5230 to the Cowpens Association in response to a general request to all the States for auch a sum to pay the expense of a block in the granite col umn to bo erected; calls attention to the Guilford Court House centennial, and recommends suitable action; de scribes his own action with reference to appointing a commissioner to at tend the preliminary meetings relating to the Yorktown celebration, and urges that such action be taken as will insure a proper representation of the State.l DRUGGISTS' ASSOCIATION. rUnder this head the Governor re commends the passage of a law to pro tect the public against the liability of mistakes in the sale of poisons. PROHIBITORY LIQUOR ASSOCIATION. There is sold in the State another poi son which numbers by the thousands its victims slain, debauched, degraded, impoverished, wrecked or made miser able and heart-broken. The results lave so shocked the Christian people of the State that they, too, have formed an association, and will present their petitions, praying for a law prohibiting tne saie or tins great aestroyer or nu man life. You are fresh from the peo ple and are wen informed as to public sentiment, ano are tne best judges as to whether it is better to undertake to prohibit or regulate the sale of intoxi cating liquors. That legislation of some kind is needed cannot be success fully contradicted. What wo now have on the subject is either evaded or openly disregarded. We have a statute against its being sold on Sunday, and yet I suppose there is not a city, town or village in the State, where it is sold at all, that it cannot be bought on Sun day. So too, we have one prohi biting its sale to minors, and yet they buy it openly, witnout stint, so long as they have the money with which to pay. In iact, mere is but nttie regard paid to any law regulating its sale. If the traffic is to continut under the license of the State, somo more stringent regu lations are absolutely required. Upon this subject I offer these suggestions: Require the countv commissioners to be very much more particular to whom they grant license. Increase the tax on license and permit none to be taken out unless the applicant makes his ap plication in writing, and pledges him self to faithfully observe any restric tions placed upon tne trainc and agree ing to a forfeiture of his license for any violation. Confer upon the county commissioners the unquestionable right to refuse license in any county, and to revoke at will and require the board to make rigid investigation into the conduct of each person licensed. Require the At-toraoy-General to have published in convenient form a digest of all laws regulating the traffic for free circula tion, and require each licensed liquor dealer to keep one posted up in a con spicuous place in his place of business Make any violation of any restriction as a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment and an absolute for feiture of all license and allow no one to be licensed who has ever forfeited his licenser STATE GUARD. On this subject the Governor express es the apprehension that this military organization is not sufhcientlyappreciat- ed, commends the efforts of the Adju tant-General and renews the recom mendation of Gov. Vance that his salary be increased to six hundred dol lars. OXFORD ORPHAN ASYLUM. After reciting the peculiar work and successful management of this institu tion, His Excellency urges that the ap propriation be increased from $3,000 to $5,000 per annum, aud maintains that such an appropriation is not a donation but an investment, which will be re turned eventually in mental and moral.riches. In CONCLUSION The Governor says: The citizens of North Carolina are to be congratula ted that her interest are entrusted to the hands of men whose past records and perianal characters warrant tho assurance that such interests will be faithfully conserved. 1 shall heartily co-operate with you in all your en deavors to promote the general welfare. - 1 am, very truly, Your fellow citizen, Tuos.
