Superior Court Tlic Fall Term of Mecklcuburg Superior Court was .commenced last week, aud will be continued this week. V. W. Rca was arraigned on Thursday on the cluirge of killing his wife last Spring. On the ap plication of the prisoner, the case was removed to ibarrus count j, and will be tried next week if there is no postponement. He has engaged seven lawyers to defeinl him, viz: Messrs. Wilson, Vance, Dwwd, j5ron, Hutch won, Barrringer and Osborne. The Solicitor, W. I Bynuin, and Hon. N. Hoyden, will conduct the prosecution. The greater portion of the week was consumed in trying little stealing cases in which freedincn mostly were concerned. In addition to the evil of running the county to heavy expense with such cases, that of requiring the attendance of a large number of busi ness men, farmers, merchants, &c, a,s witnesses and jurors, for several days at a time, is a great incon venience and loss. We saw business men here from i he upper part of the county, who had to remain .luring the whole week merely to testify in some jrivi.Jniis case of larceny, which might (if the laws t,rniiitted ') have been settled before a Magistrate in one or two hours. Cannot the Legislature remedy these difficulties and provide for the more speedy trial and punish nKJi t 1 ty ffeiices Gov- Holden's Message. We publish, in full, the Message of (Jov. Holden to the l egislature of North Carolina. We presume :i will be read by all our readers. We admire the j.e;':ful and conciliatory tone of the Message, and (t.ii.nieiid it, except where additional appropriations money arc advised. We are unalterably opposed ; ii v further expenditures at this time, because we ln the great mass of the people arc unable to en- .iure additional taxation. The erand scheme for education. &c. ought to be jtostponed for the present. The tiovei nor recommends the repeal of the Stay Ijiw. We have always opposed stay laws as injuri ous to the debtor, (the harm was done by the pas c ..re .if the first stay law in 1801.) but inasmuch as one has been iu existence in this State so long, it nii'dit be very injurious to some good men to repeal it : but we suggest that instead of repeal, the Lcgis- latrre amend the law so as to make the debt a lien t.n 'lie debtor's property. No honest man ought to object to that. City Affairs. The election for Mayor and Aldermen of Charlotte will be held on the first Monday in January. We h-pe the rtiiiifMiiytt will not be opened until about the mill die of December. The people want a little rest earlv after the Presidential election. We have no f;iorites for Mayor or Aldermen, or any other and therefore suggest that a public meeting .if the mechanics, merchants, professional men and be held, and a ticket nominated (without regard to party) of such men as will agree to reduce the salary of the Major to $500, and other ni.eiiditures in proper proportion. will pay a Ma.vor handsomely for the work he performs. We hope voters will not pledge themselves to any Particular candidate or ticket until a meeting of the citizens," generally, is held and a ticket formed of mi representing the true interests of the City. Let a meeting of the citizens be held, and let a ticket be nominated on which all can unite. Kvery business ir.!i!i is especially interested in having a good, respon 1.le, eeonomical Government for the City, and we il personal or political feeling w ill be discarded in 'the matter, and all unite for the common good. N. C. Legislature- This body met on Monday, the 10th, but no qno rum being present, adjourned over to Tuesday. ("So much of our space is occupied by the Governor's Message that we are obliged to condense the pro ceedings. , On Tuesday, the Message of Got. Hold en was read in both Houses. No business of importance was transacted. On Wednesday, the 18th, the Senate had under consideration the question of admitting Messrs Avery and Oatcs to theireats. Mr Avery had been County Solicitor before the war, and MrOates Sheriff. It was argued, on one side, that they were banned by the Howard amendment, and on the other, that they were not banned. The matter was postponed until the 10th of December. In the House, a bill was introduced to repeal the law requiring County Commissioners to Lave their several counties surveyed and maps made out for Townships. The discussion showed that members were favorable to the repeal. It is hoped the bill will pass, and thus save each county five or six hun dred dollars expense. On Thursday, Nov. 19th, in the Senate, Mr Wynne introduced a bill to separate the Eastern and West ern divisionsof the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruth erford Railroad. The Eastern division to termin ate at Charlotte, and all former appropriations to be transferred to said division. The Western division to extend to the Tennessee line and to be known as the Chimney Kock and Broad River Railroad ; and providing for $2,000,000 appropriation for this divi sion 3 Referred to the Committee on Internal Improvements.

C. University. A meeting of the new Board of Trustees of this Institution was held in Raleigh on the lth mst. We civc a synopsis .of the proceedings from the Standard: The Governor addressed the Board as follows : 'I deem it useless to attempt to enforce upon this Board the great importance of this the tirst regular annual meeting of the irustces ot the luivcimi. The duties of tire Boar are appreciated, I doubt not, by all, and the condition of the Lniversity is wen known to all the members of the Board. There is a mortgage upon the grounds and the buildings ot tnc University to the amount of some $00,000, and the impression of those who are well informed in regard to the value of the property is that the grounds, the buildings and the library are worth at least $150,000 in currency.

I offer my absence from heme as an apology to my friend, George W. Mordecai, late President of the Bank of North Carolina, fi- my seeming want of re spect for, or due ppr: ... Aon of, the advertisement he was kind enough to v-or me with in the "Raleigh Sentinel" some wee, since. My friend, Mr Mor decai, is mistaken if he thinks that by any personal controversy with me he can shield himself from the just indignation of his Stockholders, at the manner in which he has bankrupted the Bank and thereby destroyed the value of their stock. I shall not trouble the public much with any differences between Jlr Mordecai and myself as to our individual transac tions; but I shall as a stockholder of the Bank of North Carolina call for an investigation of the man ner in which Mr Mordecai and his Board of Direc tors have squandered my stock, as well as that of other stockholders As to M r Mordecai's charge that the fact of his sending gold to New York and having it converted into United States Bonds, being reported to the stockholders in June, and being then approved by them, every stockholder at that meeting knows that this statement is not true. Mr Mordecai, at that meeting, gave the stockholders no satisfactory information about the Bank. He held in his hand a paper that was supposed to be his report, but did not read it, and when the Secretary of the meeting, supposing it to be his report, reached out his hand for the paper, MrMordecai withdrew it. I submit, that it is ungenerous towards the stockholders for Mr Mordecai to attempt to saddle them with this orient blunder of his. Why send this gold to New York when gold was worth more in North Carolina than in New lorkT Mr Mordecai could but know that every Banker in North Carolina bought gold in New York to sell for a profit at home! If necessary to send the gold to New York, it certainly was not necessary to permit the bonds to remain for months in New York, liable to attachment, and this too after Mr Mordecai had been warned by an attempt once before to attach the funds of the Bank in New York. From the manner in which the Bank has been man aged, as I will show in this communication, for the exclusive benefit of Mr llordecai and his friends, it looks like this fund was placed in New York in order that it might be attached by some of Mr Mordecai's friends, and, unluckily for them, just before the apple was fully ripe, it fell into other hands, and hence the trouble ! As to the allegation that I am the owner of the bills, &c, this can make but little difference to the stockholders whether A or B at tached the funds; the fault is in Mr Mordecai who unnecessarily exposed them. The attaching party but exercised a legal right, often exercised by the Bank of North Carolina. Our Court dockets have always been tilled with suits of the Banks against the people. TJien the Banks were plaintiffs; now, since the tables are turned, and the Banks are fed out of the same spoon that they so long fed the people with, there is a great outcry-. The Banks have often sold for debt the poor man's plough horse & milch cow, & now let the same justice be meted out to them that they so unrelentingly measured out to the people. Friend Mordecai, how cruel it is in you to try to array your stockholders against me when you know so well that, as the agent of your Bank. I have made raids on other Banks in this State, and that we have been together iu these raids, hand and glove; you standing in the background and receiving without j any compunctions of conscience your part ot these i '-ill-gotten cains." xf you deny this, let Yancey ville aud Wadesbor speak ! Then, it was all right in me and all very nice; but now, the case is changed my friend Mordecai's ox is gored this time. As to Mr Mordecai's statement about compromises, this he has misrepresented. Fortunately for me all of the propositions for compromise were submitted in writing. Mr Mordecai can publish these letters if he desires, and I request him to do so the only condition 1 impose is that he publish all aud not a part, for "thereby hangs a tale" that Mr Mordecai will not untold. N. C. Synod. The Synod of the Presbyterian Church of North Carolina convened ia Wilmington on the 18th inst. The opening sermon 'was preached by Rev. A. Currie, Moderator, at the close of which the Synod was called to order. Rev. Jacob Doll, Stated Clerk, proceeded to call the roll. " But a comparatively small number of Churches were found to be represented. The Synod then proceeded with nn election for Mod erator. A vote was taken, resulting in the choice of Rev. D. D. McRride for this position. Revs. J. Rumple and L. C Bass were elected temporary Clerks. Thursday, Nov. 19. The Synod met according to adjournment, and was opened with prayer. The narratives on the state of religion from Orange, Concord and Fayetteville Presbyteries, were referred to the committee appointed to prepare an address to the Church. I he Moderator announced the regular com mittees. The report of the Trustees on Union Theo logical Seminary was read and referred to the committee on the Theological Seminary. An Overture from the Presbytery of Fayetteville, on the division of the Presbytery, was received and referred to the committee on Bills and Overtures. Statistical reports of the Orange and Concord Presbyteries were received and ordered to be spread upon the Minutes. The reports of Orange and Concord Presbyteries, on system atic Benevolence, were read, received and ordered to be printed in the Appendix to the Minutes.

Watts, of Concord Presbytery, had died since the meeting of the Last Synod, the following committee was appoiuted to present a brief memorial during the present session, viz: Rev R. II. Chapman, D. D.. D. A. Patrick, Jr., and Elder W. A. Wood. The report of the Trustees of the Synod was received and referred to the committee on Trus tees report. Rev.

Friday, Nov. 20. Morganton was chosen as the place of the next meeting of the Synod, aud Wednesday before the first Sabbath of October, 7 .o'clock P. M., lboa, the time. We condense the above from the proceedings iu the Wilmington Star and Journal. THE LEGISLATURE. Raleigh, Not. 21st. The Senate, yesterday, declared vacant the seat of Mr Avery, new member elect from Burke, Cald well and McDowell, because be had been County Solicitor for about 20 days before the war. In the House, bills were introduced to repeal the Usury Law, to regulate the pale of. State Bonds, and to repeal the Stay Law. The last named bill was postponed indefinitely by a vote of 81 to 21.

Jefferson Da is, it is understood, will appear by counsel, as at present arranged, unless the Government should make a different requirement. Important Action of Prominent Demo crats in South Carolina. After the elec tiou of Grant was known in South Carolina, a number of prominent Democrats, including Wade llaniDton. called in a body on Governor Scott, and declared their determination to accept cheer fully and abide by the decision of the people, to i stand by the State government in its acts, and i j : ii. 1 to use all tneir influence in muuciug me pcujnc They fined themselves simply to protecting and guardin unavoidable rent out the City Ordinances. 1Vwi;r.ot ibo attention of our citizens to the Or dinances just passed by the City authorities in regard to Auctioneers The matter ought to be regulated, for the sales in the Public Square and on the side walks have become a nuisance. Merchants arc compelled to rent Lou.esnd do business within doors, avl Auctioneer should not be allowed to monopo lize tbe Public Suiiare and Side-walks for the pur p'se of transacting thu'r business. We hope the t'itv authorities will designate and license two or three Auctioneers, who wiU be held responsible for taxes and commissions. That would be fair, right oini ,,,... ri.ei-lotte i a irrowiiisr Citv. and such matters must be regulate! by law, as in other cities. Bank of North Carolina. We direct attention to the Card of 11. Y. McAden, Ksq. in relation to the management, of the Bank of North Carolina since the close of the war. We fully agree with Mr McAden in the charge that the Bank has been badly managed by the President and Direc tors, to the great loss of the individual stockholders, more especially those not interested iu the old Bank of the State. The ' Land we Love" for December has been received. We have not had tune to look over it, more than to admire the elegant manner in which it is printed.

We think the Governor is mistaken in saying Mint it isthe general wish of the people that the operations of the University should be commenced anew, on a larger basis. The jH-cyle are unwilling that the pub lic monev shrtllbe appropriated to keep up a College at Chapel Hill, while many tax-payers are barely able to undergo the expense of learning their chil dren to read and write. Let all schools and Colleges stand on their own merits. No particular institu tion is entitled to State aid or to bo fostered at the expense aud disadvantage of private enterprises.

Let it be known why Mr Mordecai was so patriotic as to in vest so much of the stockholder's money in tcortftlts paper and so cartful not to invest his own means in the same way. If my friend will pardon the illus tration, it reminds one of the noisy, patriotic politi cian who enlisted all of his alle bodied relation for the front and failed to volunteer himself. Let it be kuown why it was that near four hundred thousand dollars of gold on hand at the close of the war, was not. sold when gold was worth fifty per cent premium, and invested in United States bonds, then worth par, now worth ten per cent premium, thus saving hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the stockholders A "National Bank"' could have been started with a capital of six hundred thousand dollars, with branches located in the tate where the Bank heretofore had branches, which would have supplied our people with curreucv. and bv this time the debts of the Bank could have been paid off and the stock been worth something handsome "i ct, instead of either of these courses, the gold, or a part ot it, was placed in the hands of a few of Mr Mordecai's friends, who have been using it without interest. Let it be known where this money has been that has been bringing the stockholders no interest. Let the twenty or thirty thousand dollars of expenses, since the sur render, be looked into. Let it be seen whohas grown fat whilst the stockholders have starved. It is said that these Directors "honorulle men" as they them selves say they are served before the war without compensation. Then, the stockholders received divi dends; since the war these Directors vote themselves pay and vote the stockholders no dividends. Let all be known about that splendid financial operation by which Mr Mordecai and his Directors, large stock holders iu the Bauk of the State of North Carolina, paid themselves, from the assets of the Bank of North Carolina par value, for a deposit of over sixty thou sand dollars, due the Bank of the State of North Carolina before the war; at the same time Mr Mor decai refusing to pay other depositors more than twenty-five cents in the dollar. At the same time these "Directors compromised a suit against the Bank of the State for over forty thousand dollars, paying eighty cents in the dollar for the bills. If you could do no better with this deposit, Mr Mordecai, why did Latest JYetvs. City Ordinances. I. B it Ordained.

Public Treasurer, because he no Uouoneu mai at was doing the best he could, but, in view of these fact and our other financial difficulties, with what face can the Legislature go on with reckless expen diture! It is seriously proposed to appropriate $100,000 to the recuscitation of the University. Where is the money to come from, and the $000,000 to put afloat prosperously our Public School system, and the S-W.OOU or $300,000 for the Penitentiary, and the $400,000 to pay the annual expenses of the r.rranifut. and the $1,240,000 to pay the in terest on the State debt for IHGOand the $1,000,000 ....

Let Leg islators ponder, before they take another step , iK.cnir'it of repudiation is crowing 1 State A little more of this reckless expenditure will set the people, black and white, on flame for repu- iv;n thov rush on under such circumstances?
