Some one baa been ao kind as to send ua a fine steel engraving of the i.4 nu:f T.iatW I'l-arson. for which vuici v - . we tender our thanks. This valued souvenir and accept able present carries the mind back to the dark days of 1870, when" the great Chief Justice was sought to be over whelmed with such a storm of re proachesan was never before show ered upon the head of any judicial officer in our State. All will see that reference is had to the celebrated ha beas corpus cases during the time of the " Kirk war." It was the good fortune of this writer, then the editor of an independent journal at Salis Wv to be free enough from pieju- dice at the time to see that the Chief t...i: o nml to have the dutive :n io"v' " . moral courage to defend him. And 1,p ha lived to see the opinion he then entertained in reference to the Chief Justice's course in said matters ac cented as the final verdict of public oninion.

The Court declares anh- bv an actual contract execuw,.., 1 at the time so lar as ii.ean v-v.- -- of making the sale. Does the pre sent bill embody the terms ot sucti hundreds of thousands long after the marble slabs destined to cover the graves of his calumniators shall have mouldered into forgotten dust. Who was Responsible? We regret to see a journal so res pectable as the llaleigh -Observer in dulging in remarks like the following. But that it is so is poof that honor able and candid men can lie so far swayed by sectional and partisan pre judices as to become blind to the plainest and most necessary infer ences from indisputable facts. The Observer of the 4th instant says: "Lincoln precipitated the war, and all the miseries of that bloody period, all the human gore with which free America was dreuched. all tbe sacrifice of life and property, all the devastation and ruin aud woe that befell us, are to be credited to Lincoln and his Radical advisers, and the hands of the Demo crats are free from the stain of fratrici dal blood." The editor of the Observer is a lawyer, and is doubtless familiar with the provisions of the National Con stitution as well as with the events of the war. He is aware that the Presi dent of the United States, ou the day of his inauguration, takes the follow ing oath: 44 1 do solemnly swear that I will faith fully "execute the (Office of Presideut of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and de fend the Constitution of the United States." The editor is aware that the second section of the VI th Article of the Constitution is as follows : "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States that shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the au thority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land ; and the ,jude8 in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary not withstanding." The editor is aware that J,he 10th section of the first Article reads as follows : 44 No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation," c That the 3d section of the second Article contains this clause : "He" (the President) "shall take care that the laws be faithfully exe cuted," &c That the 8th section of the first Article empowers Congress 44 To provide for calling forth the mili tia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel inva sions. " Xnd lastly, the editor of tlua Ob server must have read the third sec tion of the third Article, as follows : 4 Treason against the. United States ahall isonsist only in levying war against then, or in adhering to their enemies, dvioz them 44 and comfort. No per oa aball be convicted of treason unless oa the testimony of two witnesses to the satae overt act, or on confession in ppea WThB Congress shall have power to Many are impressed with the belief that in the event Best and his asso ciates, or their assigns, shall fail in the performance of any part of their contract there is to be an absolute forfeiture of the road, together with all the labor and expenditures, they may bestow upon it, to the State. If this were true it would afford some guaranty for the faithful peiformance of the contract,' but it 'is 'not true. Best and his associates, as if doubt ful of their ability or intention to carry out the contract, have provided for themselves, in this bill, a mode of escape from its obligations. .They may at any time stop work on the road, let the same revert back to the State, which engages to refund to them " the actual and ..necessary amount expended by them," Ac. '.That it is so will clearly appear to any one who will take the pains to study sec tions 12 and 13 of the bill, elsewhere printed. And to aid our readers to a clearer understanding of the same, we give below an analysis ol certain sections of the bill by Col. McKae, an eminent member of the Wilming ton bar : THE DAMAGES. . Sec. 11. The only damages to which these associates are to be subject for fail ure to perform, is that the grant is to become null. Let us see the working of this section. Suppose the full measure ol the con struction bonds and mortgage are put on both lines, and high contract price al lowed, and profits made, and proceeds of bonds squandered and the work left unfinished. Here will be a road encum bered overhead ; a franchise wasted and lost, not by misfortune but fault, aud the liability of the 850,000 returned upon tbe hands of the State, with the se curity that it now has rbttde vorthless ; and the evil doers are to go scot free. If these meu have real financial ability i some indemnity should be turmshed, at least to keep the Slate in as good condi tion with reference to the 850,000 that she has now. The 12th section is objectionable, for whereas the 11th made the failure to j pijja ss ua8 been attributed to him 1 A rvi.l t Kit t lit' 1 4th ''amend-' in moan trims m. . meiit and the acts passed to give ef fect to it, "plaoe the colored race, in respect to civil rights, mva leveljvith A number of Democratic journals arc 'denouncing these decisions as par tizan, while applauding the dissenting opinions of Justices Clifford .' and Field, lias it never occurred to these journals that tha dissenting' Justices were quite as likely to be swayed by pnrtizan considerations as the ma-J jority ? .Na-, is it not more proba ble that Justice Field, who is a known aspirant for the Presidency, would be influenced by considerations of am bition and paitizanism than any one of the others ? Is he not, in fact, the only member of the Court to whom it is possible to assign a partizan mo tive ? Tiik Charlotte Observer, at the close of a long revk-w of the late de cisions of the United States Supreme Court, which it is to be hoped the Judges may be spared the mortifica tion of ever seeing, quotes some "om inous words" from Thomas Jefferson, who, it says, was a "leading spirit" in "drafting" the Federal Constitu tion. Will the Observer be good enougli to inform its readers where Mr. Jefferson was when he aided so materiall- in " drafting " our great fundamental law? The records show that he was not a member of the Con vention, n mi . An honest sals of the Western North Carolina Railroad on terms fa vorable to the State, with ample guar anties for the faithful performance of the contract or full indemnity to the State in case of failure the contract to insure tbe completion of both branches within a reasonable and specified time this is the sort of sale demanded by the people of North Carolina this or none. m o i m -' Ma.

Best and associates, their as signs or successors." Gun ! J.his takes away the breath, quite. 1.. Then there is to ba R.o forfeiture for failure after all. 2, To prevcut this, when 120 days have run out, and failure seems immi nent, the State is obliged to put in and undertake the completion herlf, pot according to the present contract, but " on such tertm ana, in such manner as Best and associates, or their assigns or successors, may then agree ou." 3.

We may be mistaken, but if we are not then Gov. Jarvis, in his inaugural, or first message to the Legislature, took very strong ground in favor the " North Caro lina System." Now he proposes to sell (?) the Western N. C. Railroad, and with it the last vestige of that System. But, then, the times cijang? and men change with the times. . The communication of Mr. A. II.
