THUKSpAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1 881 , President Garfield is represented as still improving, though lii recovery is very slow. - " There was a violent storm, at Danville, Va,, Sunday evening, "felling trees and doing considerable damage.

The Richmond land Danville Rail road Co. are fairly and honestly , in pos session of the Westerfj N..C. Railroad. Best sold all his right and title in it to tfiat Company for a consideration deem ed satisfactory at the time, reserving no ririt of rcdemntion, life now wants it - o back, and the State's Commissioners have pledged their official and individual in fluence and efforts o aid him in recover ing it. Their object, to wit: the tmildiug of the proposed X. C. Midland, is foreign to the subject in dispute. They do not rely on it as a reason Against the Richmond for their course as and Danville Co., said company has but on showing that failed to comply with the terms of the original sale contract jmade with Best and assumed by said company. Is jltshajl appear that the Commissioners in their zeal for the Midland shall be less liberal to the R..& D Co-.,-than they would prob ably have been to Beit, and serious coo sequences to the State come therefrom, it is notTclear to us thatjthey can plead any very strong facts in justification of their course. ! The newspapers are discussing the ques tion of'wlm should perform the functions of President during the disability of that officer, and who should declare that disa bility as existing. Prominent gentlemen have been invited to give their opinions on the present case of MrJ Garfield's disability, ex-Prcsident Grant among the rest. He says he has no doubt a condition exists when the. Vice President should act, but that it would be inappropriate for him to do so unasked ; that tlie President's physi dans should certify jhis disability to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet should forward this certificate to thej Vice President and request him to assume, thereupon the du ties of President. Mr. Voprhees says the Vice President bas-not the power to assume the duties unasked Ueaving it to be in ferred, as Ave gnther it, that the President himself should make the request. . The constitution has made ho provision for de claring the inability lof the President, but it has declared who $hall perform executive duties in case of the disability of the Pres ident, and holds him responsible for the performance cf the duties either by himsel or the officer designated to act in his place, Sq" plain a case happening in any of our States or counties would cause no hesita tion or cmbarrasuiedf whatever. The al ternate would at once step forward and perform the duties of his principal, and no one would question 1 the propriety of the act.

The late Dr. Pleasant Ilendersbn, ouo of the most learned and skillful physicians of his day in this or any othrr State, as immedi ately called iu to dress April's injuries and to take his case iu hand. Dr. Hen derson associated jvyith himself in the management of tho case, his brother, Dr. Alextiuder Henderson, and also inyited all the physicians in town to advise with him. Their attention was unremitting, day and night, and every "change and symptom closely watched. The public impression at the time was, that our doctors were. going to beat hydrophobia for ouce, and they certainly exhausted their highest skill on April's case. But it all failed : the man died of hydrophobia iu thd course of two or three weeks. Full blooded negro. Freight Rates on Corn. The Raleigh 2Vr & Obstrter brings out some facts published in the correspondence between J. B. Yates' of the AtlanticRoads anil Sol." Haas of the Associated R. R. of Virginia and North Carolina, worthy of note, to wit : First, the rate on corn from Xewbern to Greensboro is 26 cts. pet cwt. The Atlantic Road gets 5 cts. for trans porting it 59 miles and the North Carolipa Road 21 cts for 130 miles. Jt. is .claimed that this is an unequal ancf unjust division of the p$y for the service done ;- and that it is a discrimination against eastern Caro lina; for it i3 also shown that the freight oncom from Richmond to Raleigh, about 1 10 miles, is only 8 cts a bushel. Now, it is contended that jf8 cts. a bushel for 170 miles on com from Richmond is a living rte, why may not corn be," brought from eastern North Carolina at the same rate ?' It is proper to state in this connection that, the rates on these several roads are not new, but arc the same as. for some years past. Also that the proprietors of the Associated Virginia and North Caro Una Roads are 'now overhauling freight rates with a view to their more twrfW. equalization. j .' Mr. ..Best. A correspondent of the Raleigh Jfeics-Obierter says; "He has the confidence and support of tho entire peo ple along his line, from . Goldsboro to Morehead, and there seems to b a f tl. ed determination amoug the people to give mm meir unnea supporr, tor they believe he can and will do! much for the develop ment of their section He 'is a' man of fine sense, energetic, pushing, look after everythini: to the niinutotit nofnt. nnl has, in the shorr space of time since Ihs lease ot the road i vast! v imnrdvlM'ts condition and Dlaced much new KtnrL- nnnn jt.

' The farmers of Mecklenburg and other counties, scared by the failure of the cot ton crop, to produce which they invested heavily in guano and other fertilizers, are lolding public meetings and passing res olutions to ask the guano merchants to reduce rates nod help them out of the present trouble. It has been well sug gested by a cotemptorary that no great reliauce be placed on this mode of re- ief. It cannot bo expected that guano dealers will cut down their claims for guano pold any more than the dealers in either goods when inch far reaching acci- dents ocenrv Unano dealers nave mace contracts predicated on sales which they must meet with cotton or the cash, or be niued.r There is uo escape: or relief for thfiaV'feo it will bo better for every fanner do as we heard one of our Rowan men say last week, to wit ; "When I made the debt I expected to pay it. 1 knew there was a risk to be run and I elected to run it. I'm not go ing to squeal or flinch now, but will do my level best to pay every dollar.7' We have no doubt guano dealers will be as accommodating as they possibly can. ) "Vehnor Figured Dora. A comparison of Vennor's predictions for August with the weather as it occurr ed in August, made by the itostou Iran $crint, shows that his prediction for the 1st was correct, aud on -the lotn, iota ana 17th there was sen approach to correct ness; the reni&iuiiig 27 days proved the direct opposite of hu prophecy. Lardner, in ouo of his published lect ures, bestows considerable attention to the early history of weather Almanacs in England. He relates the rather remark able fact that the first publications of this kind caused iuteuse excitement, and that the printing office from which they were issued had to be protected by a strong po lice force, to prevent the eager buyers from breaking iuto and hindering the business of the house. That this excite ment attracted the attention of scientific men, who soon mado arrangements for a thorough test of the weather predictions of the Almanacs. They caused a number of Diaries to be kept iu different parts o the Kingdom lor the space or zu years, and these, when compared with the weather predictions of the Almanacs proved the bitter to be utterly worthless, It doubtless cooled the public mind to some extent, but did not entirely destroy confidence in weather predictions, which continues to the present day to engage the serious attention of a large portion of the people, and will contiDue probably, to the end of the world. Neither Veunor nor Baker need fear much damage to their reputation if they guess pretty nigh righ one time out of ten. It is a subject eve rybody talks about, more or less, and it is a real help in the conversation of some people to say tha Vennor or Baker has predicted thus and so. It matters very little whether they hit or u.iss. It an swers the momentary purpose aud that is quite sufficient so far as anybody cares; for seriously, no sane man ever attaches any value to such predictions. The Autesian Well now in process o construction at Durham, attracts especia interest at a time such as we have had this summer, when streams and ordinary springs nnd wells are failing, causing dis tress ts men and animals. The work at Durham will probably lead to the con struction of similar wells iu other places, and possibly to important discoveries al so; for we can never know what is lock ed up in tho earth under our feet except oy going down to see. We are ulad to learn that Mr. Cameron, of the Durham Recorder is keeping an accurate account of the work referred tot and will, when it is finished, publjsh jiptpiijy an account of the geological and mineral developments, but also an account of the cost aud mo dus operandi of construction, Hurricane at Wilmington. There Was a furious and destructive storm at Wilmington, and along the coast of North Carolina, on Friday last, which proved very destructive to property. The Mor ning Star fills several columns with the particulars. Metal roofs were rolled up like paper and carried away ; walls were blown down or 'damaged; trees were twisted off' or uprooted. Fifty trees in tne'eemetery at Viimingtou were blown down. Large quantities of goods destroy -pdor. damaged by water through the un roofed stores. The estimatettloss is put at . $100,000 . or more, for Wilmington alone-. The wind blew at the rat miles an hour. - Part of the time as high as 60 miles an hoax." Rev. Jethro Rumple, of Salisbury, N.

L shall send it to yon at as early a, date as possible. I enclose to you a copy of.

ANDREwar Richmond, Va Sept. 1, 1831. His Excettenci Titos. J. Jarvis, Governor of North Carolina, Baleiqh, N. C, Dear Sir i Your letter of the 26th August, with the copies therein enclosed of the letter of Commissioners Vance and and Worth to you, and yonr two letters of the 20th August to Attorney-Cencral Kenan, have been received and have hud my attention, and I now take the earl iest - opportunity to. reply to the several matters reied "to byyouiaiid iu the order in VhrflfcyOa mention them. -rv First : I regret that circumstances over which I had bo control necessarily delay ed the reply of Messrs. Clyde and Logan and myself to the communication of the commissioners appointed by tho act of the General Assembly of North Carolina relating to the sale of the State's interest iu the Western North Caiolina Railroad bearing dace the 1st of August, 1381, to which yon refer. This reply was for warded yesterday to your address, and I now have; the honor to enclose yon a copy of it, and beg to call your attention to the statements therein contained as pertinent to the matters of which you write. Secoud : I observe that Messrs. Vance and Worthwo of the three commission ers, officially'report to your Excellency, 'that the assignees of the grantees in the act mentioned, have tailed to prosecute the work with diligence and energy j that they have failed to keep a force at work on the Ducktown line after the road had reached Aeheville, snfficieut to insure its completion ; to Pigeon River by the 1st July, 1881 j. and that they have failed to complete said road to that point and to Paint Rock by the 1st July, 1831." The tact that the lines were not com pleted to Paint Rock and Pigeon River on the 1st July, 1881, has been known to the cpmmissiours ever since that day, and they also knew that the assiguees did not expect to be able to complete them by that time, long before the 1st July. It is well known that the President of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company presented i petition to the commissioners on the 30th day of April, 1881, asking for an exfeusion of lour mouths' time fiom the 1st July, for the completion of the work to the points nam ed, aud therecoid of the proceedings of the commissioners show that this petition was duly considered, and that the com missioners agreed to grant the prayer of the petitioners upou certain conditious, all of which were faithfully complied with. And after this petition had been amended as required by the commission ers, and signed by the assignees as was also required, your Excelleucy acting in the capacity of a commissioner, finding that the assignees had fully complied with the requirements of the commis sioners, promptly gave, .18 all the com missioners had agreed to do, your con sent iu wi lting to the extension as pray, ed for; ' Hoy. J. M. Worth on the next day signed: a writing of similar import. Wheu. these jiapers were obtained, the assignees "proceeded to prosecute the work with vigor diligence and energy. If the consent had uot been given, they would have been forced to abandon it. . It is nnilecessary to refer to the reasons for the application for an extension of time, or to the reasons which induced the commissioners to grant it. It is enough to 6ay that they were then deemed alto gether sufficient. These being the facts of the case, all of which were well known to commissioners Vance and Worth, I am at a loss to kuow why it 13 , that they report the assignees as delinquent in failing to finish the work to the points uamed by the 1st July. The act of Assembly makes it the duty of the couiYufefeioneis under certain cir cumstanees, fo graut certain extensions of time. Tfcese effeurastances existed. Aud it will-.net be ;dcuied that the State ritself has been delinquent, aud is to this day deliutquent, iu tailing nt anytime duriug thd progress of the work, to fur nish the number of convicts which she agreed to famish. have seen in the public priuts that Commissioner Vance has stated, that the grant of the extension of time signed by your Excellency and Commissioner Worth was iu valid, because the signature of Commissioner Worth to the paper had been fraudulently obtained ; and he states as the ground upon which ho makes this serious charge, that the signature was ob tained before Commissioner Worth had been informed that he Commissioner Vance) had determined, forreasous satis factory toj himself, to decline to" comply with his agreement to grant the exten sion, and had withdrawn his consent. Without stopping Jo enquire whether Commissioner Worth would have felt himself justified in refusing to fulfill his own solemn promise because Commission er Vance had deciiued to. comply with hisr I will only say, that you yourself know that you communicated to Dr. Worth, in your letters of the 14th May, 1881, the fact that Commissioner Vance had with drawn his consent, aud that Commission er Worth received acd read this letter before he signed the paper. Relying most implicitly upon the good faith of the commissioner in their attiou of the 30th of April, 1831, and upon the consent to the extension given in writing by Commissioner Worth and your Excel lency, the assignees pressed forward the Tvdrk- most vigorously, and? employed I labor as soon as they could, in a abort time they placed three hood red (300) ad- . ditional bands. upon tho Pigeon River line and have had during the month of Angust an average of over seven hundred (?00 men on that line, and about i six hundred (600) on the other, notwithstand ing the fact that the State is still delin- Suent, iu failing to furnish the fijre hun red (500) convicts, as she contracted to do. I am unwilling to believe that any one of the commissioners will, in view of these - facts, undertake to have the con tract forfeited, because the lines to Paint Rock nud Pigeon River were not com pleted by the 1st July. However this may be, l thfnk it proper to inform jyon that the assignees will rely upon all their legal rights in the premises, of which I can not assume it is the desire or purpose of the commissioners to endeavor to de prive them. ; I beg to state further that the circum stances and inducements under which the Best contract was assigned to Messrs. Clyde, Logau and myself, and under which the obligations thereof were as sumed, are stated with some detail in their.letter in reply to that of the com missioners of the 1st August, a copy of which is sent you herewith, as before stated ; and yon may well imagioe that the assiguees were surprised to learn that, notwithstanding these facts, the commis sioners had, as far back as the 25th May, 1831, actually entered iuto a formal agree ment with Mr. Best, looking to the re cession or re assignment of said:con tract, of which agreement the assignees were kept in total ignorance for more than two mouths, notwithstanding they were re doubling . their energies and sparing no effort or expense to carry out and (com plete the contract, relying upon the ex tension of thne which had not only been granted; but granted without controversy as to their right to claim it. Third. Commissioners Vance ! and Worth also say iu their letter that they hud upon examination that the company of the assignees are daily discriminating in freights and charges azaints North Carolina towus aud cities aud railrroads contrary to'the provisions of section 20, of the act relating to the sale of the Wes tern North Carolina Road. In behalf of the assignees, we say, we know that no such discrimination has been authorized or intended, and we believe none; such exists. In confirmation of this, I beg to say, that since the receipt of your :letter communicating this charge, I have talk ed freely with Col. Andrews, President, and Mr. Macmurdo, General - Freight Agent of the Westeiu North Carolina Railroad Company, who emphatically de clare that no such discrimination has been intended, and as far as they kuow or believe, none exists. I have personally examined their tariff rates aud can find no evidence of any such. . Tliere may be isolated cases in which freight bills are improperly made out, but these errors are promptly corrected upon application, or when attention is called to them. In a large business cleri cal errors will sometimes unavoidably occur. I am informed that . the General Freight Agent's attcntiou was called to the section of the act referred to, and he was instructed not to violate it, aud he assures mo that he has uot done soj which he is prepared to verify bv his tariff sheets, that I beg to say are always sub ject to the inspection of the com mission -era. Fourth. In regard to what your Excel lency has to say in your letter to the At torney General as to the present opera tion of the North Carolina Railroad af fecting injuriously the interests of the people of Eastern Noith Carolina, based upon a certain circular issued by Sol. Haa3, General Freight Agent, allow me ; say, that as you will see from what fol lows you have wholly misapprehended the actual facts of the situation. Mr. Yates, Mauager of the Atlautic and North Carolina Railroad, complains by letter of the 16th August, 1831, to Mr. Haas, general freight ag;ut of the Asso ciated Railways, of certain alleged ine- qualities of rates. To this Mr. Haas re- j plies next day, explaining that the rates j complained of were so made to enable A'etr&ern to compete with Wilmjngton, Richmond aud Norfolk for the same trade, the Atlantic aud North Carolina Railroad having the same relative rates as the liues from the last named cities. But, that in view of his, Mr. Yates', ob jections to the rates he issued the notice in question, and requested Mr. Yates to furnished him at the earliest moment with such rates to competitive points as he was willing to pro rate, and what pro portions he was williug to accept to Goldsboro on all classes of freight to W. and W. and North Curolina stations. Please see copies of these letters herewith Submitted from which it is clear that the temporary withdrawal of through rates was intended only to enable the manager of the Atlautic aud North Carolina Rail road to arrange rates satisfactory to him self, which action on his part was reques ted to be takeu at once. Meanwhile tlie actual interchange of traffic was practi cally undisturbed, and the rates paid by shippers not at all increased. In the abseuce of the General Freight Agent, I have requested the attention of our general mauager, Col. Talcott, to this matter and herewith submit copy of his letter of this dato iu reply. II also submit herewith- for your information copies of letter of Mr. Yates to Mrj Haas, of date Angust 20th, 1831, and of Mr. Haas' reply thereto, aud bis order revok ing the former one. I- Upon reading theso papers yon will hardly need a word of comment to satisfy you, that if any disturbance of freight ar rangements between tho North Carolina aud. the. Atlantic and North Carolina roads ias occurred, jt has resulted from the action pf the Atlantic aud North Car olina Railroad, and can be continued only by its failure to meet the general freight agentjof the North Caiolina Railroad in his urgent proposal to have the rates set tled and agreed. I can, therefore, assure your Excellency of my convictioii.that.in the order referred t, Mr. Haas had no intention whatever to encroach upon the rights or interests of the Atlantic and North Caroling Rail road. What transpired was, of eourse, without my knowledge at the time. The general freight agent necessarily; regu lates these traffic managn'ients, subject to control and supervision. He has no au thority to treat unfairly any traffic pass-, iug between the North Carolina Railroad and the Eastern portions of the State, aud knows that he would not be. allowed so to do, were he disposed, which I jdo not believe. . j You are yourself witness of tbe endea vors that have been made by the lessees of the North Carolina Railroad,! to aid those sections in their transportation in terests. We shall continue, to do so if allowed, as far as practicable consistent ly with our duties and obligation i to tho North Carol in a Rail road Company, and the people and interests along its! whole line. We utterly disclaim any objects or interests in the management of the North Carol iu a Railroad, except in accordance - . . - Jones, McCttbbiiis & Co. wffl receive THE UBREST AH11 STOCK ft) they bare ever offered to 3 OUR ; BEFORE PURCHASING ELSEWHERE.
