meeting in Spartatobarg, ana an so-,
cwnf of the action .taken. That there
isSnbre"x8igniflcancein this meeting
than at first appeared, i9 shown in the
first place by the following paragraph
in a telegram from Augusta to the
Charleston News and Courier on the
15th, the day before the Spartanburg
meeting:
It is known that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad have made a proposition
to the Augusta land Knoxville for a
combination with that, road with a
vital to securing & Northern connec
tion w$th Augusta and the south At
lantic Seaboard at Port Royal, which
has been left .out in the cold by the
Wadley combination. The Port Royal
it is understood is anxious to enter in
to this arrangement. President Ver
derr. of the Atfgusta and Knoxville,
has rflcfiived an invitation to attend a
railroad meeting at Statesville, N. C,
on April 20, to consider the extension
of the Virginia Midland from Danville
to Spartanburg. This road belongs to the
Baltimore and Ohio. It is proposed to
build the Spartanburg, Laurens and
Greenwood Railroad at -once so as to
coifcectwiibto AtigttsU and Knox
ville at Greenwood. " The Augusta and
Knoxville is thus-' an" important factor
in the matter, and it is whispered that
it may be bought by the Baltimore and
Ohio. -
If there is anything in the report that
the Baltimore and Ohio people have
gone so far as to make any proposition
to the Augusta and Knoxville road,
looking to a connection at Augusta,
thep toe. matter begins to assume a
somewhat serious phase: then it ap
pears that they are seriously contem
plating a line vhkik does not include
Charlotte even as m of its way sta
tions. There caal bo doubt that the
Baltimore people and the Baltimore
and OfcioBxSnMKl are considering the
expediency of a . Sttithern connection,
and t$afc! theytt might be induced to
adopt this line by the activity of those
interested is certainly a possibility.
The following dispatch, received last
night, is the latest development in this
direction:
Washington, April 18 The Vir
ginia Midland directors met in Balti
more ' on Saturday and definitely
decided to extend that road
from Danville via Mooresville with
connections to Charlotte and to Spar
tanburg, S. C. The extension will be
effected under the name of the North
Carolina Midland Railroad, which cor
poration was organized under the laws
of that State about a year ago. Col.
J.S. Barbour, who is president of the
new road, has called a meeting of the
directors to be held at Winston, N. G,
on the 26th inst, when the date and
manner of commencing the werk of
construction trill be decided upon. At
the meeting at Baltimore it was decid
ed to undertake the work of building
the road as far South as Walnut Cove,
a distance of 50 miles from Danville,
and a resolution was passed pledging
the Virginia Midland road to supply
the necessary capital for the purpose
not secmred through subscriptions to
the stock.
Hen. David Davis, United States
Senator from Illinois, has written a let
ter to a friend in Kansas, in which he
expresses disgust over the fact that the
United States Senate has been engaged
for a weekjmt "in an unseemly strug
gle for small places" He says "great
corporations and consolidated monopo
lies are fast seizing the avenues of pow
er that lead to the control of govern
ment," and that "leading newspapers,
recognized as Republican and Demo
cratic organs, are owned and, directed
by grasping monopolists to subserve
their selfish schemes and restrain oppo
sition to them in - either party." , Mr.
Davis says there are "cheering signs
that the end of this domination draws
hear in the popular: demand for good
government, without respect to party.
Ring rule must be overthrown, or it .will
stop the wheels of progress and destrey
the foundations of social order."
Senator Brown touched on a tender
peint wEeif lie said inhe Senate the
other day If all the negroes were, as
was claimed, Republicans, they consti
tuted one-fourth of the Republican par
ty. What had that party done for
tbem? The last 'administration had
given Frederick Douglas the position
of marshal of the District of Columbia,
but he had not been invited to do all
the honors of the White House which
had usually been performed by the
marshal. There were seven cabinet
ministers, and yet not one of them rep
resented the' race which composed one-fourth-otthaJBepublican
party,. Re
publicans; need not be astonished if ,
When fthe Democrats ' met in grand
tOttj&cU again, they should do right to
the negro, as the' Republicans had fail
ed to do so." .
The Chicago Times, Republican, is
forced to say: "Never before has a
Vice-President so far departed from the
proper reserve and decorum of his pe
culiar station as the present incumbent
of that place has done in actively es
pousing the personal quarrel of a Sena
tor against the President, whose legal

THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE ABE
WRITING TO SENATORS
The Course) of the Debate Yertirday
Teuutet'i Debt Bnwn, Dawes
and Harris.
Washtnqton, April I8.--The Vice
President laid before the Senate the
unfinished business, being the resolu
tion .for the election of Senate of-
Harris referred to an article recently
? Uoted by Mahone from the Interna
ional Review, to the effect that the
State of Tennessee had repudiated
eleven millions of her debt, and, assert-
ed that there was no truth in the state
ment. Tennessee had at no time re
pudiated a single penny of her debt. It
had been stated that Porter, of the cen
sus bureau, had been the author of the
article, thus giving it semi-official char
acter. Porter had indeed been the
author, but had in a communication to
him (Harris) denied that it was an of
ficial statement of the debt of Tennes
see. He corrected various misstate
ments in the article.
A motion to go into executive session
made by Harris, was lost yeas, 20;
nays, 21. .
By unanimous consent Johnston was
permitted to offer a resolution which
was addopted, calling on the Attorney
General for certain papers in relation
to the report of C. C. Lancaster, special
agent of the Treasury Department, to
the judge of the western judicial dis
trict of V irginia.
Some time was then consumed in
the roll calls on various dilatory mo
tions. Dawes said that he was conscious
that public business had been much
obstructed by the pendency of the reso
lution which he had offered, but attri
buted that obstruction to the action of
the minority in resorting to every mo
tion known to parliamentary law to
defeat that resolution. This was the
struggle: whether it was the Senate or
a minority of the Senate which was to
control public business. He did not
care a copper whether or no one officer
or another was, in office, but he desired
to have it settled before the country
whether this was a government of a
majority or not. He wished to make a
last appeal to the judgment and patrio
tism oi tne otner siae not to overtnrow
the fundamental principles of that gov
ernment in fiehtine over a matter of no
more importance than, the selection of
a couple of officers. .
Saulsburv expressed the regret that
this should be a last appeal. He al
ways enjoyed them. It would be
amusing, he said, to listen to the so
lemnity with which the Senator from
Massachusetts presented his views, as
if everybody did not know that at the
beeinnine of the present session that
'the Republicans had resorted to dilato
ry motions in order to prevent a clear
maioritv from organizing the Senate,
Was it not singular that the Senator,
in view of these facts, should attempt
to lecture the Democrats? He quoted
from a newspaper a report of a Repub
lican caucus, at the last session, where
methods were considered as to how the
will of the majority could be defeated,
and where the timidity of the Demo
crats was alluded to. If there had ever
been any timidity, that timidity was
now gone. The Democrats had learn
ed that it was their duty to the country
as well as to their party to resist with
a determined purpose the methods so
wrong and iniquitous as they believed
this to be.
Beck argued against the right of a ma
jority to elect officers at an extra ses
sion, and in answer to a question by
Morrill, declared that in December
next they would be willing to consider
the resolution. But in his judgment,
Riddleberger would not in December
be made sergeantrat-arms. The Vir
ginia election would then be over, and
if the Republicans did not tender, some
body else would tender, for sergeant-at-arms,
some one who was a conservative
Republican, who had fought through
the war in the Federal army, who
would be here with his wounds upon
him, and the Republicans could choose
between the Confederate repudiating
Riddleberger, and that man who would
be tendered to them. He thought with
the Republican Senator that it mifcht
as well be understood that in Decem
ber next the Republicans would not
put Riddleberger in, and any promises
which he might make in Virginia
would prove fallacious.
Brown denied that the Democrats by
their action had violated any rule of
the constitution or of the government,
and repelled the charge that they were
obstructing legislation by unconstitu-
lonai use of power. They were acting
in strict conformity to the constitution
and laws, and they proposed to continue
to act thus as long as tney tnougnt pub
lic interest required it.
iiiair contended mat tne minority
should yield its position, though he was
not opposed to a prolongation of this
debate. He did not want this deadlock
to clese until December. Unless this
debate was closed by that time,' so far
as he was concerned, every nomination
might rest where it was: until the will
of tne majority of this oooy had been
enacted.
Brown, in replying to Blair, stated
hat the people believed that there had
beeri afraudulent bargain, which state
ment was denied by Burnside.
.Brown: Do you believe that any Re
publican paper has condemned your
course? .
Burnside: A good many; but they
are changing very fast, l received a
pile of letters this morning telling me
to stick, stick!
Brown: I get letters saying, "stand
all the time; never yield 7' (Laughter.)
I get them from the North, East. West
and South.
Logan inquired whether, if it were
wrong now to elect Riddleberger, it
would not be equally wrong in Decem
ber, wiiat would change the state of
affairs by next December, if some men
were before the Senate?
Brown replied that the wrong was
now of a character that it could be
very -properly tested- , in .December
here might be -something or such im-
Eertance before the Senate that the
democrats would feeL compelled to al
ow tne Republicans to pass the resolu
tion arid take the responsibility. There
might be usages at the regular session
which would make it proper for them
to withdraw their - opposition. ' These
reasons did not now exist ; besides, they
had no ida that they would be troubled
vntn uidoieoerger in December. - ;

from .Virginia (Mchone) had been in

Bemted forThe Obserrer.
Mecklenburg Presbytery adjourned
its meeting at Huntersville Saturday
night, the 16th.
The case of Mr. PlunRett absorbed
the attention of the Presbvterv for a
day or two, exciting as much Interest
in our own city and in neighboring
comnfhnities as among the members of
the Presbytery. The case had unfortun
ately assumed the form of an irrecon
cilable conflict between the solemn tes
timonies of Mr. Plunkett and of cer
tain unimpeachable witnesses, among
whom was Mr. J. L. Williams, an es
teemed young licentiate of this Presby
tery, who had hitherto been one of Mr.
Plunkett's best friends, and through
whose kind services Mr. Plunkett had
been invited to supply Steele Creek
church. Owing to this altogether un
necessary antagonism the friends of
Mr. Williams could not consider Mr.
Plunkett's reception in any other light
than such a reflection upon Mr. W.'s
character as a gentleman and a Chris
tian as would demand judicial investi
gation, and their assurance of his in
tegrity, and that he was not even re
sponsible for this attack upon Mr.
Plunkett, made them vehemently op
posed not only to Mr. P.'s reception in
to the same Presbytery with them
selves, but, unconsciously, to any vin
dication of his (Mr. P.'s) conduct.
The Presbytery refused to acknowl
edge that there was any such antago
nism in the case. It was made evident,
in its judgment, that Mr. Williams had
not been, as some of Mr. Plunkett's
friends suspected, treacherous to the
old and well-proved friendship which
had existed between them ; that Mr.W.
had nothing to do with originating the
charges against Mr. P., as they had
come to the surface in the seminary in
Mr. W.'s absence ; that Mr. W. and his
friend, Rev. Mr. Gammon, had from
the beginning deprecated the giving of
any publicity to these charges against
Mr. P. until the good of the Church
should demand it, and that in the mean
while Mr. W. had done what he could
to have the matter satisfactorily set
tled without publicity. On the other
hand, it was also made to appear, in the
judgment of the Presbytery, that, as a
matter of fact, there had taken place in
the seminary such things as gave
a ground for a good part of the state
ment attributed to Mr. Plunkett; that
this statement had never been circu
lated or disseminated by Mr. P. so as
to make him appear in the character of
a slanderer or defamer of hisbrethren,
but mentioned incidentally to only two
of his fellow-students in the reasons he
was giving why the same favor should
be extended to him which had been
extended to the student whose charac
ter was reflected against by this state
ment; that other students in the semi
nary Seemed to have heard of this same
matter involved in Mr. P.'s statement
from sources which could not be traced
to Mr. Plunkett; that, as regards
Mr. Piunket's circulating reports, while
preaching in the mountains, damaging
to the character of the same fellow-
student, Presbytery did not think it
wise or charitable to drag into publicity
the imprudent speeches of an impulsive
young man against one regarded in the
light of a rival from whom he imagined
he had received certain affronts: and
while not condoning these faults, Pres
bvterv thought it would be extremelv
unjust to condemn a brother, after sub
jecting him to an ordeal unprecedented
in its severity and publicitv, in the face
of as high testimonials as to his chris
tian character and gentlemanly conduct
as any minister ever received, from the
church of which he was originally a mem
oer, rrom nis own Jfresbytery, from the
faculty of Columbia Seminary under
whose care he had been for three years.
and from the Steele Creek congregation
in whose affections he had already be
come nrmly hxed by his eminently
christian character no less than by his
efficient pastoral labors. Presbytery al
so thought it so probable that Mr.
Plunket had forgotten his making
these statements, since it was evident
that he had not disseminated them,
nor manifested any purpose of injur
ing a brother by def amation.that his high
character as a-gentleman and christian
testified to in every other respect,
should confirm his own testimony that
he had denied making these charges
against a fellow-student, because he
could not recollect having done so.
It is maintained that Presbytery took
this view of the case, because it was
the line of argument pursued by those
who advocated Mr. Plunket'a reception
into Presbytery, and who brought Pres
bytery to this view of the caae.
The majority in favor of Mr. Plun
kett being received into this Presbytery
was so overwneimmg that no divisien
was called for, and when the vote was
taken on putting the call of Steel
Creek church into his hands there was
only one dissenting vote.
There were several pleasant features
about this case interesting to an ob
server. One was the glad relief felt by
the two congregations of Steele Creek
and Hopewell when they saw that un
fortunate antagonism already referred
to removed out of the way of a calm
and judicious consideration of the case.
The presentation of this view of the
case did away with the nervous anxiety
which the good people of both congre
gations felt in regard to their mutual
relations in the future as Christian
neighbors, and spread abroad over the
audience the feeling of good humor
which was erroneously attributed to
the jesting of one of the speakers. An
other was Mr. Gammon's testimony to
the uprightness of Mr. Piunket's deal
ings with him during the past summer,
his giving an illustration to show how
natural it was to suppose that Mr. P.
had forgotten the statement he had
made and which had been testified to,
and his voting for Mr. Piunket's recep
tion into Presbytery. Lastly, Mr. Wil
liams, with a generousness which did
him or would have done any one credit,
stated that he hoped Mr. Plunket would
be received into the Presbytery, as
there could no longer be any issue as to
veracity between them.
A good indication of the acceptable
ness to the public generally of the con
clusion reached by Presbytery in this
case was the fact that the pastor of the
Associate Reformed Church, the largest
in Huntersville, invited Mr. Plunket to
preach for him Sunday morning, which
Mr. Plunket did to a large and appre
ciative congregation.
