Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 18.
In the Senate to-day bills were introduc

yonng man and a Republican.
Bill increasing the annual appropria
te the State Guard to $5,000 passed.
Bill to prohibit certain county officers

Holt in the chair, on the school bill, and
adopted the bill with slight amend

An Interesting Case An Order
from a Judge Holds a Prison
er as Against a
Requisition
About two imuilhs ago Charles
Goodlake was arrested here at the
instance of the authorities of Chat
tanooga, lenn., wnere ne was
charged with making a deadly as
sault upon another man. He had
been found over there in the sum
of $1,000, and it was claimed he had
jumped his bond. Sheriff Connor,
of that city, came on to Asheville,
the case had a bearing before
Squire Summey, and Goodlake was
sent to iail to await the proper re
quisitions in the premises. A writ
of habeas corpus was issued by
Judge Merrimon, and the case was
heard before J udge Avery at Alor
ganton, Col. V. S. Lusk appearing
for the prisoner, and the latter was
returned to the jail here with in
structions to Sheriff Worley to hold
him until further orders of the Court.
The papers to this effect were sent
to Sheriff Conner. In the mean
time the latter official obtained the
proper requisition papers from the
Governors of both Tennessee and
North Carolina, and yesterday
morning appeared here for the pur
pose of removing the prisoner to
Chattanooga, armed with the said
requsition and rendition papers.
Sheriff Worley, under the advice of
his attorney, and in the absence of
any further instructions from the
court, felt himself obliged to surren
der the prisoner : but to guard him
self more thoroughly, telegraphed
Judge Avery at Morganton . as to
what he should do. ihis omcial
was holding court in one of the
Eastern counties, and . Mr. Worley
telegraphed him there. . No answer
was received until just about the
time to start to the depot, and Sheriff
Connor was in readiness to leave
with his prisoner, when Sher
iff Worley was dispatched by
Judge Avery to hold the prison
er until further order." Sheriff
Connor at once returned Goodlake
to the cus'.ody of Sheriff Worley,
and returned home last night.
We presume nothing more will
be done in the case until the next
session of the Superior . Co art of
Buncombe.

hoping you will give me your opinion to

1, Remain Yours Truley
The above letter is a sample only of a
profuse, one-sided correspondence that
has sprung up on the heels of a brief
article relative to the climate of Ashe
ville, N. C, which appeared early in the
winter over my signature in the World.
Had I dreamed that the article referred
to would bring such a torrent of fractured
Jbnglish and such a simoom of interroga
tion points, I would have restrained
myself.
All I can do, therefore, is to retract and
apologize. I want to be placed once
more where I was before I becan to cnt
tetters inquiring aoout tie climate. 1 am
the victim of too much notoriety. People
write to me from all quarters of the Union
to ask things of which I am grossly
ignorant I have been compelled, as a
World, to take off two of mv autoeraoh
men and put them on this climate cor
respondence. So I now state through
the same columns where the original
letter appeared that I apologize.
To the correspondent who writes the
above letter let me say : Come to North
Carolina and you will never regret it. It
is a land flowing with milk, honey and
tar. It is full of health, - climate and
smoking-tobacco. It will do you good
to come here to live till vou actuallv eet
tired of it
It is so extremely conducive to health
here that people grow to an enormous
height Even the preachers erow to be
over 6 feet high here. A clergyman call
ed on me the other day, and asked me
to address the SabbathW yl. who is 6
could ask a blessing in a i-imble way .if
no uou uuie, urn no uappeneu Kiooma
nurry ne could leacn over and help him
self. I am 6 feet high myself and moderately
active for one of my age, but I would no
more rise in that man's congregation and
make the remark, "gosh," than I would
select perdition as a good site for a fire
cracker factory. ' -:
Relative to the chances for a poor man
in this country, where I now remain,
that being my principal business, I will
say in a cursory way that poverty is not
regarded as a violation of the statutes
here in North Carolina. People have
lived here for years in the most abject
poverty right under the nose of the
Grand J ury. So you need not stay away
on that account Moreover, the poor
people of the North Carolina mountains
are a thousand-fold more contented than
the poor people of the North. If a man
must be poor all his life what can be of
more use to him than contentment?
That is the great difference between
Northern and Southern poverty. What
does'a Tar-heel mountaineer care about
strikes? What does he care because
other people are wearing underclothing?

I feel safe in savins that vou would do
well here. Yon would be welcomed as
soon as you landed here and you would
find the best climate you ever threw your
up over. -
You could work here all day through
the winter and play lawn tennis in your
shirt sleeves by moonlight, or chase the
festive coon from precipice to precipice,
I am glad to read that yon are a good
wingsnou it wm give you a standing
in society which might otherwise take
you years to secure. .North Carolina
needs more good wine shots. She has
alreadv a sturdy, thrifty, whole-souled
enterprising class of .business men, but
she is a little snort on wing shots.
So come any time. . I w4Ui be at the
depot when you arrive.' ,Weu(cic annoy
yon if I were to bring the band down to
the depot with me ? We havens very fair
all-around band here, composed of self-
made colored men who play in. a chaste
and unconstrained way that will not
frighten yon much if you are used to loud
snorts of melancholy. The members of
this band have now perfected themselves
to such an .extent that they play right
along just as fluently without their lead
er, and while he up-ends his horn to pour
out the juice they take np the air and
carry it along in such a way that you
could not miss the leader, and they em
bellish all their music and improvise go
much that you could not tell -what tune
thev were claying. Still. I will do iust
as you say about having the band down
at the depot when yon come.

Sickness in f be Country.
Reports from the country indicate that
mere is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Most of
these troubles seem to arise from an im
pure condition of the blood, caused bv
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes levers of a bilious character, and
we regret to say taat in some places it
nas proved very latai. vve therefore
offer this gratuitous advice to those not
yet alnicted r Keep vour liver in
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure., Good blood means good
neanu, traiist oaa Diood bad health.
