Lessons for those who like them.,—Be not
always speakinj.j of yourself. lie not
forward. Listen when spoken to. Avoid
old sayings and vulgari'sms. Be choice
in your conipliments. Contniand your
temper and countenance. Never ac
knowledge an enemy, or see an affront,
if you can help ii.—])ouht him who
swears to the truth of a thing. Dare to
be singular in a right cause j and be not
ashamed to refuse. Never appear to be
in a hurry. Neglect not an old acquain
tance. Make no one in company feel his
inferiority. Avoid punning and mimi
cry. Talk not long at a time. Tell no
stories. Hold no one by the button when
talking. I’unch no one iu conversation.
I'orestali not a slow speaker. Say not all
you think, (iive net your advice unask
ed. Kenew no disagreeable matters.
Praise not another at the expense of the
present company. I’ew jokes will bear
repeating—Take the peaco-niaker’s part
in debating. Learn the character of the
company before you say much. Su[)pose
not yourself laughed at. Interrupt no
man’s story.
We believe it is the usual courtesy of
the Speaker of the Meuse of Represen
tatives, to place at the head of any Com
mittee,the nature of whose investigations
requires frecjuent references to a partic-
( • airman beiweeti
Legislature of North Carolina.
~lilU~OnT un the TliR.lSUIlY DEFJiliT-
MENT.
The joint select committee, to whom was re
ferred the resolution insirueting them to in
quire into the expediency of amending and
consolidating the several aets of the lieneral
Assembly lespecting the 'l’rc;isur\ Depart
ment, and to examine the accounts and mo
nies in the Treasury Office and the deposites
in the several Hanks to the credit of the State,
further sum of fourteen dollars seventy-
three and quarter cents for disbursements
on account of the Agricultural l und.
It moreover appears to your commit-
te, that, in the year 1»2G, the Publio
Treasurer purchased ot Benjamin A.
Barham thirty shares of the Capital
Siock of the Jijnk of Newbern at par,
and ttbtained u power of attorney, au
thorising the transfer thereof j that iho
same has not been made in consequence
of the loss of said power. The said Bar-
having had the same undereonsideration, and eiven a written acktiowltdg
devoted that attention to the subject whicn j nffhe sai ~ -
its imporlance to the State and to the niem-
orv of the late 'I’reasurcr required, respect
fully KKPDUT.
That in the investigation many unex
pected difficulties presented themselves
to youi committee. Their limited know
ledge of the system pursued by the late
Treasurer in the operation of the depart
ment and the omission to keep in the
office regular accounts of the receipts
and disbursements of the the public mo
nies, (except so much as relates to the
Agriculture, Literary and Internal Im
provement funds,) made it necessary to
apply to the Comptroller’s Ofiice for an
expose of the fiscal concerns ol‘ the State.
Your committee lament that tiiis inves
tigation has resulted in the painful dis
covery that there is a balance due from
the lale Treasurer of sixty-eightth.ou-
sand six hundred and thirty-one dollars,
eighty and tiiree eighths cents. This
defalcation is the more to be regretted
on account of the mafiy amiable traits in
the character of the late I'rcasurer, and
Fifteen Dollars lieword.

these shares, should, in the opinion of
your committee, be credited to the late
Treasurer, deducting therefrom the sum
of one hundred and f:vc dollars, whicU
said Barham received as the last divid

late Treasurer, and which stock has not
been brought into his account with ihe
Comptroller making the sum of two thou

sixty-nine thousand seven hundred and
twenty dollars ninety-seven and srvca

Your committee found in the Treasury
Office the sum of five hundred and twen
ty nine dollars and forty-five c‘nts in
counterfeit and mutilated bil!s, paii in
the emissions of 1783 and 1736, and the
remainder in Bank notes. Yi ui com

I Mr. Randolph has neither forgotten noi-

could not srrve on the Committee with
