Shnonton, R. Y. McAcfditi, N. W. Wood fin, T. L: Clingraan, and several others, and they have" elicited a great : man facts in connection with the road which are rendered irrelevant in the report in view of the late action of the honorable the General Assembly, in directing the . appeal from the decision of the Circuit : Court of the United States, for the Wes tern District of this State, and the fact that such appeal has been taken. And while your committee is by supplementary resolution directed to consider and report of the grave propositions of laws involved in the matter, they have concluded to leave those questions to be reviewed and decided in the Appellate Court, which is not only learned bat august. ' they sub mit that the moving' catiFC of all the em barrassments which have of late fallen upon the road was the mortgage executed under color of an act of Assembly entitled 4aa act to enhance the value of the bonds issued for the completion of the Western North Carolina Railroad, and for other, purpose?, ratified 10th day of December, 1SGC and the nctioti of the Hoard of Dir e- tors of said road predicated upon said act.

's claim. Of oilier tUims computed in that decree, some of them have been refused by the company? and are litigated now at the instance ofome. of ihe officers of the road. Tho itotal amount of tho decree in the cause? was t about 81,300,000, some $500,000 of which ! consisting ot imperfect bonds, have been cancelled. j That this of them: be clothed with full power to act inthe place! ana stead ot the legislature, m this par ticnlar. .

It is believed that in this way a solution of the difficulties of the situa tion may be had and the road be poshed forward to an early completion.

XX SXTZLHO W. bonds were issued to the cxtMil of nearly one million and a half of dolU'.s. a mortcg exc- euttd cn the road in the full lopo ami ex pectation that the bonds would tind ready purchasers at t ! ino-y unrkct? of tbe world. The unfortunate complications in Europe, , recoil tng from the rupture of friendly relations bt;tw"-eu Fiance and Prussia, shut up th:t n-oure of sale. - The credit of tbe State was greatly im. paired by excessive loans of bonds for like purposes as these, ana m a snort time whatever remained ot that credit expired in tbe utter failure of the Stale to meet maturing interest on her bonds, and be Cause of other acts' which are painful enough without being paraded in this connection. At this juncture the officer who stood at the head of the road resorted to the ex pedient of hypothecating tho bonds as collateral security for the loan of money, supposing that at no distant day the press ure; might lift and he would be enabled to . uegotiate the sal.e of the bonds upon more . satisfactory and advantageous terms than were then Jiinsible. He eflVcied a loan of ubout $225,000.' for which he gave his notes, and by way of further assurance i deposited about $500,000 of the mortgage ! bonds then perfected, and perhaps, an equally large -amount of the bonds not then or now perfected. Ihe bonds were inarki tabio tin n at about forty cents on the dollar, with some deduction for com1 missions. Your committee do not think that the hyp thecation was excessive so far as the amount of bonds deposited was concerned, w hen we consider the fact that Ja a. our opinion, so tar as the testimony ad duced goes, ti e charge of fraud, collusion or other complicity jbotween the officers and outsiders or any 'of these witnesses is unfounded in factj and upon the evfs deuce as adduced wc are of opinion tht there is no good'gmikud that such accu sations should longer continue ag.inst these geutleraen. It i a sti iking ftct that a man's hindsights are U tter than bis foresights. It is: caHvr to lookback and tell how errors cdnld have been avoid. ed than to point theia out in advance and 8u?K'Sl their cure. IThe scope of the re solution under which the committee is acting is of so broad a character that we feci it inenmbent on us to m ike snch sug gestions for the action of the Legislature as are consistent with the interest of the people of the counties through which tlm road is to pass, and the parlies to the re cord in thesuit now pending. The appeal already taken from the decision of the Circuit Court opercrate as a supersedeas ol further action in tke di rection of the sale of tbe road under tho judgment of the Court, except by consent. The crowded state of the docket of the Supreme Court of the; United Slates, which consisted at the beginning of the present teim of several huhdred cases, renders the hope of an early: decision of the cause forlorn. , lu the meantime the counties through which the! road is to pass are deprived of the facilities which its com pletion would offer it their doors, all ac tion is suspended and the best interest of the people of that section is ignored, if we fold our hands and await the "law's delay," Your committee suggest, with the view of accomuiodating the aforesaid interests, that it is competent for the Cir cuit Couit, notwithstanding the appeal to the Supreme Court, ;to order a sale of the road by consent, auid all its property on such terms, by such persons under such regulations and restrictions as may seem meet aud proper, fl'liey are of opinion that the Court could require guarantees for the completion of the road. To this end your committee recommend that tho Genet al Assembly pass a resolution ask ing the Judge of the Circuit Court to wero sentenced to death. The sceno in the court room on their being pronounced guilty was affecting ia the extreme, the women sobbing hyrlcrically and kneeling in the dock to supplicate for mercy. A Naples letter thus describt s the execution : Karly yesterday morning, wbeu hardly a soul was astir in llif narrow aud bois terous thoroughfares of Naples, an omni bus looking vehiclo stood iu front of tho Prefect's chamber, near the Chi;j i. On the uppermost floor of the prison is the chapel, w here the conoeiuned women were attending mass their Ut mass and the mournful strains of the "Miserere," chant ed by the Sisters isi their choir, could be heard gloomily waltieg through the lone couidors. Tii pnsocrs, still in black, knelt near the altar, and at tho appointed time received their last communion. TO TBE EXECUTION.
