Two Healtattaa and One l)e flnat tiale Appointed to Saccrrd l'orter. . , (Continued from last Sunday.) Of the many quarrels which disgraa ed and ruined Barrington's adminis tration In North Carolina none whs conducted with mere bitterness than the one with Edmund Porter. Several ft-ntures of i interest distinguished it from the' other. With more or leas clone connection It became entangled with most of , the "other controversies of this controversial administration. It Involved the friends of both men, and like other similar quarrels It eventual It broaght about the ruin of both. It is a common observation that when men who. have been friends In private Intercourse and accomplices in crime fall out their enmity is bitterer than that . of men who have always been enemies, t ' Edmund Porter came to North Car olina in April, 1725 from the West In (lies. This was during the closing: days of Barrington's first odmlnistratino. Acquaintance between the two men soon ripened into an Intimate friend ship. ' It was no small thing in those! days when the Governor of a petty province . enjoyed an exaggerated Im portance to have the friendship and influence of so great a personage. In this case each found the other useful, rourt from the Governor? How well causes? Heretofore It had always been assumed that the King's authority was paramount to the Governor's. As yet Porter was not convinced that the old theory whs false, and he pro ceeded to hold his courts as before. There was pending In the Admiralty Court when Burrington" arrived In the province an, Indictment against two men, Gale and Chamberlain, for Hying the imperial flag over their vessel con trary to law. The ease was set for March 10, two days after the Gov ernor's conversation with Porter. While the court was in session Burrington entered the room. A flush of anger overspread his countenance. A dis pleased frown wrinkled his brow. Plac ing himself In front of Porter he or dered htm to adjourn the court and give the prisoners a longer time to prepare for their defence. This was of course, a mere pretext as these men had been arrested during Everard's administration. Hut Porter sa wthat a disgraceful scene would likely fol low his refusal. To avoid this re ad journed the court till the next day. On his way out of the court room he met Burrington, his face ashy with wrath. "God's blood!" he cried, "don't you know you are not to ho!T courts with out my permission." Porter was about to make an angry reply,' but was prevented by the ipter- vennon.or i nier justice smitn. lie and the Governor parted with anger burning in the heart of each. The next day Porter adjourned court for good and went home. He well knew the violence of the man he was dealing with, his Irrespect for law or person or occasions. He knew that Iturringtnn would not hesita,te to halse a riot to carry his point, and what means did he have for protecting his: Burrington loaned his influence to Por-. ter who soon became financially, polit ically and socially one of the leading men In the colony.. In return Porter helped Burrington In his political schemes and: stood- by him in his mis fortunes. This was soon to come. In less than five months a new Governor arrived and Burrington concealing1' his w rath -a best e coutd retired to Por ter's plantation. Here be was enter tained forseveral weeks. He and Po--ter, who shared his friend's dislike for the new Governor, put their heads together and laid many of the plots which, proved . so disastrous to Ever ard's administration. They both serv el in the General Assembly where to gether With John BapUsta Ashe they j , led the fight on the Everard faction, i . he knew his man lie learned three days later. On March II, he received i visit from Judge Smith iui'd'a Colonel Jones. 'il. Jones bore u message from Burrington. Porter, he snld. would be ruined for whut he had done, und if he lKTKisted in trying Gale and Chttm berluine. the Governor Would thruts him off the bench and try the case himself. All semblance of friendship was now at an end. Burringtons whole theory of politics was rule and ruin. Since he could mil rule Porter he must ruin him. The two now began to find themselves greatly at variance In mat ters mining liefore the council. Hur rlngton (hose to see in Porter's atti- nerely a determination to oh- Uuring this session a nrouositlon wa ! f.V' . h,m " ,Ul,k's- H? hel""' . . ' lncllirliitlnd 'il.fi nun Mo vn IhA ww.f Drought up to send two agents to Eng land to- represent the colony's interests. Burrington supported Porter for one of the places. Had not the scheme fallen through Porter would undoubt edly have ..."been sent. When Burring ton entered upon his second adminis tration he had Porter appointed a member of the Governor's council. w.m f after this the Governor's wif landed In Virginia from England. Bur rington; sent to Porter to borrow a choice nd servant to send for her. It appears clear, then that at the open ing of the second Burrington adminis tration nothing had occurred to stain the friendship between the two friends. Afterwards it suited Burrington's plans to denounce the character of Porter In t r e way -that only he could do. He de- Ured that when he came to North trolina. as the King's Governor he i ew nothing of Porter was de- "ived about his true character by ) le representations. ? But the facts ' main- that since 172S tbey.had been : omplices in, riots,, allies In po!itK ; r. 1 friends In social Intercourse.

He stiffen ed his hack and determined to do neither. But. "The best laid schemes o' mice and men Gong aft a-gley," and not seldom we undermine uncon sciously our own plans. Burrington could not remove Porter from either the Judgship or the council without the consent of a majority of the latter, and at this time he could not control such a majority in the council. He deter mined therefore to await the changes time would inevitably bring and In this policy Porter proved himself the Gov ernor's best alley. In the proceeding January aynob of armed men had entered the court-room where Porter was ttbout to hold the Admiralty Court. Stamping and sing ing, drinking and cursing, they drove the judge from the bench and put in his place two mock-justlees whom they declared they would continue as judges. Porter was compelled to flee for his life, tin assistance could be had from Governor Everard, hut Porter expect ing, Harrington's arrival dully with the King's commission fondly hoped for help from- his old friend and ally to pnitiHh the ring-leaders. But Burring ton laughed the matter off, und though Porter made several applications to him In; private, lis treated the affair as a Jest. 'Then came Porter's breach with Burrington and the passing of all hope of ; his assistance. Ho. on . May 7: he filed a. complaint against- the leading rioters before the council and against the. Governor ; for" refusing to punish thetn. -.This complaint changed Joseph Jerom'e. Bdmupd Gale,. John Lovick end William Litle with riot and attempt to murder . Porter. Hut , Hurringtbn re fused to receive the complaint or to permit. It to be receded;. in the min ntes, ofBv the- council. Poter 'then' . car Hed the matter to the Lords of Admir rlnfftn-to iiivestigite the charges,, "but 3.000 miles of sea. lay between the-or der and the execution.;, -and the order wus dcwliiied to fnoulder in- dark and dusty pieofi-holesj 'I'orter's only gain wns 'four bit ter, uncompromising ene- - - .-,!. ii 'I.--- .iaic, Ia ick und LiWli.t r-who now joined with .Burrington to destroy th common foe. .. It must not he supposed that they waited to hear from Porter's complaint to the Lords of Admiralty before open ing their attack. This was done five day after Porter's attempt to bring the matter before the council. On Slay 12, William Little made a counter-move to Porter's complaint. He laid before Burrington a. paper charging Porter with illegal arbitrary., and corrupt pattlces in his trials of admiralty causes.' Thirteen separate cases, em brat Ing every one, and mote too, that Porter had tried were quoted tn sup port of the charges. The complaint closed with a petition for Porter re moval; -. . - - - X These ehafgea Burrington himself brought before the council, it is Im portant for a clear understanding of , the protjeealngs to note 'carefully the ( mimes of those present. They were: j Chief Justice Smith, Edmund Porter, John Baptism Ashe, Robert Hdlton and Both Instruction to the Governor such a complaint ns was now read against PoMer must be heard and approved toy a majority of the council before It could be recorded in the council book. The complaint was read, the charges considered, and the majority of the members voted against receiving It. j Then the Governor whs furious und In i direct iiiMhmHiimi f Ms majesty's Instructions he ordered the secretory to spread the compullnt on tha nun Hies rf thfi inuncll. I'orter thoug it that the Governors purpose was to hold the charges over him in order to coerce his vote; and he wrote that they "lay like a rod" over him till the following November. Burrington would gladly have pro ceeded at oncelo a trial, but he was forced to restrain his impatince be cause he knew that as the council now i Ktood the majority was against him. j There were William Smith, John It, I Aslie, Nathaniel Hice, Joseph Jerome, Itobert Holton, Edmund Porter, Mat I thew Kowan and Cornelius Harnett. Of these he was sure of mil yJeroine land Holton: the others were certaln I ly against him. He possessed his soul ; with patience hoping that he would i soon have a chance of changing the .' personnel of the council. By his 7th : instruction he was Impowered to keep the council to the number of seven, but vacancies beyond this number must be filled by the King's own appolnt- fmefits. Burrington was therefore pow erless at the present to do anything, but the summer brought the desired opixirtunity. In May Chief Justice Smith resigned and went to England. At the same time it was rumored that Ashe had gone with him and that Rice was In South Carolina. If these reports were true only five councillors were left In the province: Jerome, Rowan, Holton, Porter and Harnett. The wish was father to the act and Burrington at once appointed two of Porter's ene mies to the council John Lovick and Edmund Gale. These appointments were made at a meeting held on July 27 at which only Jerome npd Porter were present. As the King's Instruc tions allowed no less than three mem bers to make a quorum, Porter oppos ed the appointment of Gale and Lovick on the ground that the meting of July 27 was not a legal one: and on the' further ground 'that there, were seven councillors In the province. In this number ho counted Ashe and Rlee who were both In North Carolina, und Eleazar Allen, who ihough appointed councillor In North Carolina, really lived at this time in South Carolina. Burrington was afterwards forced to acknowledge that both Ilice and Ashe were in the province when Gale and Lovick were appointed. But he did not remove them, because having now at least half the councillors whom he could control and having the deciding vote in case of a tie, he was ready to proceed against Porter. Before proceeding to an account of Porter's trial it Is Important to notice the composition of the council. Porter himself, of course could not take part In his own trial, and of course would have no vote. John Ashe could cer tainly be counted on to vole against the Governor: and perhaps so could Harnett and Ilovvan. but of this there was no certainty. On the other hand there were Jerome, Gale and Lovick all three of whom had been charged by Porter not only with riotously breaking up his court, but also with attempting to murder him. Besides this he had charged Lovick In open council with ocnimitting fraud In the land-office while he was secretary, and he had strenuously opponed the ap pointment of Lovick and Gale to the council, appointments acknowledged by Burrington to have been Illegal. Gain was further clinched to Burring ton's Interest by being promised the judgship from which he was about to vote to remove Porter. To these we have only to add Robert Holton who had long been pliant in Burrington's hands. Nathaniel Rice did not attend the meetings which tried Porter. Everything accordingly was ready for the Governor to proceed. It will be recalled thut In his iwper giving his reasons for opposing ie appointment of Ixivlck and Gale to the council. Por ter stated that there were seven coun cillors already in the province. He Included Kleayer Allen, one of the King's original appointees. Is'ow in this he was In error, though perhnps unintentionally so, an Allen owned, a large plantation and a home on the Cape Fear and Porter thought he was living there at the time. As a matter of fact Allen had not yet moved from South Carolina, though he had been Intending to do so for some time and really did so soon afterwards. Bur rington chose to regard Porter's error ns un intentional falsehood. Accord Ingly he fired his first gun on Novem ber 4, when he charged Porter before the council with asserting a falsehood with the intention of obstructing -the administration. In doing this, said Porter,- "the Governor laid the foun dation for my suspension as member of council." He was therefore ordered to appear before the council on Jan uary 17. and show cause why he should not be suspended. "' ' But this was only the preliminary st up. Immediately Willlnm Little ap peared before the council and moved that Porter be ordered at the same time to answer Little's charges of fraud, corruption nnd cruelty in the trial of causes. These charges had now lain "dormand for near- elx months." They were now re-awakened to get rid of adjudge whom the Gov ernor could not control and whose fees' ho Could notshare. , Lltles motion was carried, and "Edmund. Porter's days as councillor- and judge were numbered. During the greater part of the time between November and January Por ter was busy In distant parts of the province holding the Admiralty Courts, January 17 came and Porter failed to appear. Two days passed and etill Porter was absent. Then on January 19 Burrington put the question wheth er the countlt should proceed the next day, to try Porter in " his absence or whether the. proceedings ' should be postponed. Jerome,! Lovick, Gale, Hol ton, Harnett,' Rowan, and Ashe were present. They voted at least a maJorJ ity did to proceed with the trial in spits,' of., or. shall It be said, because ofPorter': absence.' , ' . - Accordingly on - the ' next ; day . the council ".-proceed : to - dispose of 1 Judge Edmund : Porter, The ; Governor ' was present with a' pleased smile about his lips fot his; friends; a - frown on his browfor his opponents. Jerome, Hoi ton, liuie intent: upon hie excellency's move ments, carefully watching his Hp to see when to smile and his brow to et when: to frown. There waa John Bap tlsta Ashe, with flashing eyes and firmly set llpn,. ready to fight the devil with fire. There were Harnett and Rowan covertly watching first Bur rington then Ashe not yet determined what their actions were to be. The Governor sat at the end of the long tabis near the enen fire-place. The xouncilora fravely took their places a the Governor called them to order nnd stated the business to be consid ered. Suddenly the dignified decorum ol the deliberations was disturbed by the hurried entrance of a traveled-stained man,-still wearing hat and gloves. He pusned excitedly by the other coun cilors, who Instantly recognized Ed mund Porter, and going to the head of the table presented a paper to the Governor. The astonished Governor glanced at It more mechanically than intentionally, and with an Impatient frown threw It aside, It was a petit tlon signed by Edmund Porter In which the petitioner stated that he had hopeil to have been present earlier, but re turning by water from the Cape Fear, i he had met with bad weather, his boat had been frozen up three different! time, so that he was late In getting! to Kdenton, "for which reason 1 hope i your excellency will be so K"ol as j lo errant mn ii rA.'iurmMhlo limn to mit to my answer to the said complaints, they being of an extraordinary nature." But the Governor peremptorily order ed the - Investigation to proceed. The first article of the complaint was then read, after hearing which Porter with drew from the room. A little later he returned, having a paper in his hand. This had the appearance of having been folded and afterwards opened. He offered It to the Governor, saying that It was a letter he had written and left with a friend to be. delivered to his excellency In case he was prevent ed by accident from being present in council. To this Burrington replied sharply: "I'll receive no letter from you, sir," and made a motion as if to throw It in the Are. , "It relates to my .defence, slr,"sald Portert endeavoring "to stop the.Soy ernor. . rr Without looking at It Burrington hurled It into ' the- flames, saying haughtily; . ,, "I'll receive no letters from you, sir, I'll burn them all if there's a bushel of them." Porter turned on his heels, strode haughtily to the .door, stood there a few minutes with his hat on, and then left the room. Burrington mentally noted his actions and Wrote to the Lords of Trade that Porter had be haved Insolently to the council. The reading of the charges was then continued. When this form was com pleted, the Governor put the question on each article separately. John Bap tista Ashe refused, to vote, and request ed that his reasons for so doing be re corded In the minutes of the council, Burrington at first '.refused this, but afterwards consented, though Ashe complained that he had It done In such a way as to make mere nonsense. Then the vote was taken. Burrington charg ed the secretary to record that with the exception of Ashe, the councillors voted "unanimously" against Porter and that the council" gave It as a "unnnlmOus" opinion that he ought to be suspended. But the record is false, for neither Harnett nor Rowan voted "guflty" to the charges. Lovick, Gale, Jerome and Holton registered the Gov ernor's will every time and so Porter lost the judgeship. Two days later Edmund Gale was appointed by the Governor judge of the Court of Admiralty in his majesty's province or ivortn Carolina, (To be Continued.) R. Dt W. CONNOR.

Hotel Mecklenburg, Chase City, Vn., Sept. 22. It seems a trifle odd to be writing from over the border, but I could not rorbear to give the dear Ob server something, if but mere jottings. Tbe resemblance between this part of Virginia and North Carolina is remark ably great, and one cause of It is that a very large element of North Caro. Ilnlans is settled or Interested here. It Is well known, of course. that North Car- ollan dominates Norfolk and that vicin ity, and powerful indeed Is its Influence here. A lady was talking to ine to- dav and said in naive fashion. "1 would rather get a place m North Carolina if I couid, because the people there are so progressive." It was a feminine tribute buz true, for such words come from the heart and mean much. The very frank ness of women gives their statements a value. North Carolinians have in vestments here, they drink the waters. t'. ey hunt, they mingle in the life. They aic a powerful factor In the vitality of Southstde Virginia. You will remember that it was not very far from here that Jolly old Col. Wm, Byrd, of Westover, found what he termed the "Land of Eden," where he entered thousand? upon thousands of acres In truly royal ttyic, those lands lying along the Itoa nbk ; and the Dan.
