WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, MARCH
Adjourned Meeting ot Citizens.
The meeting of citzens of Wilmington,
to consider the sale of the W NCR R,
which adjourned on Friday evening from
the room of the Produce Exchange to
meet in the City Court room at 4 o clock
on Monday afternoon, met m adjourned
ession yesterday afternoon pursuant to
adjournment, to receive ihe report of the
committee appointed to draft resolutions
Th.3 meeting was called to order ' by A
H Van Bokkelen, Esq, Chairman. Tho
Chairmau then stated tbe object of the
meeting to be to receive the report of the
committee on resolutions.
Col Wm L DeRoeaet, Chairman of the
Committee, handed a series of resolutions
to the Secretary who read them aloud
before the meeting.
The resolutions were then discussed
and an amendmeut off -red to resolution
No. 5, which was adopted.
Mayor Fishblate was in favor of the
sale of the railroad now, and on the proper
terms, but he oppose i the sale on the
Best: proposition. '
The Chairman then invited general dis-
cussion upon the subject, statingjthat al
though there wore few present bethought
theyj represented the interests of Wil
mington. Col. Wm L. Smith opposed
the sale of the road; he thought it waa a
disgrace to Wilmington and a disgrace to
North Carolina that the oad should be
so'dj . The Secretary of, State had
written' a letter calling the attent
tion of the people to the
taxes which they were compelled to pay
to sustain this rol. He didn't suppose
that ku?n a matter had ever occurred to
the citizens of Wilmington, and he looked
upon tie whole thing as a political move
ment, lie thought that Wilmington
ought to be able to build the road. He had
known of enterprises started here where
$150,000 had been lost and parties im
mediately fqnared up and began anew.
He thought we might rind possibly moro
capitalists here. , "
Col. Roger Moore followed Col. Smith
and endorsed Col. .'s position. Col. Moore
said he objected to the resolutions because
he thought tbey contained a covert mean
insr to s.U the road to Mr. Best. He was
not oppose 1 to the sale of the road now,
as it saemed to be a foregone conclusion,
but he objected to the sale except upon
the very best terms, with all the proper
safeguards and guarantees that could be
thrown around it.
Mr. Don MacRae, in reply to Col.
j '
Moore, said that he was in favor of the
sale, because he thought it bast to dispose
of ail the roads and get them ' out of the
hands of politicians. He was not in
favor of any particular proposition unless
it was for the best interests of the State.
. The Chair then stated, as there seemed
i
to be such an objection to the name of
Bast, as well as the Best proposition, that
he proposed an amendment to the resolu
tions which said that the road should be
sold to the best advantage and that the
phraseology should be so changed as to
read that the road be disposed of on the
most advantagous terms.
Mr! Junius Davis and Mr. A. T.
London participated in the discussion of
the resolutions and Mr. DuBrutz Cutlar
advocated them warmly, making a speech
in support of them.
Mr! O. G. Parsley, Sr., having jus
arrived in the meeting, requested that the
resolution be read again. Col. DdRosset
then read the resolutions over and Mr.
Parsley thought that there ought to be
an insertion to provide against any dii
crimination aganst any railroad in the
StateJ and inasmuch as the Carolina Cen
tral was nearly completed and this the
natural outlet of that road, hejhoped that
clause would be inserted.
Col. DeRoaset substantiated nis p,si
tlon of Friday in favor of the Bale of the
road, jwhich he thought ho made quite
clear at that meeting.
Jt was then moved and seconce I that
the resolutions be adopted. Mr Pars'ey
then asked that tbe last resolution, No.
6 be considered first as he thought he
could rote in. favor of that.
Resolution No 5 being put before the
meeting for adoption was uoauimoui'y
adopted. The other resolutions were
put as a who'e and wa.-o a ioptrl wuh
but two dissenting votes. ,
Upon motion the meeting adjourned
tine die.'
The following is the repDrt with resj'.u
tions as adopted:

sired object in cttpieiiug aid road,
which would reiili in gojd to the J;tata
at large, though such sale raiiiht possi
bly not result in ipe(;ul benefits tc some
particular section thereof ;
1. Be it Resolved, That our immediate
Representatives and Senator, as well as
the friends of our section in tbe Legisla
ture, be requested to use every effort to
secure the best terras possible in the pro
posed sale.
2. Tbat, in onr opinion, a sale in the
manner proposed win bo on much better
terms than can possibly be ontaioed bj a
sale at public outcry.
3. That we recommend an amendment
to the bill now before the Legislature by
which, in case of non-fulfilment of the
contract, and especially the provision for
completing the Dacktown Bracch, it will
be made more binding on the purchaser
than at present proposed by adding - the
words in sections 10 and 18 of the bill,
by W. J. Best, his associates or as
signs,' in reference to completing said
road.
4. That in lieu of tbe proposition tore
imburse tbe State for her appropriations
(paid in cash to said road) by the delivery
of $550,000 of first mortgage bonds, that
a sum in cash, or its equivalent in bonds
ot a marketable value, should be paid.
5. That we consider it unwise to have
allowed tne construction of certain rail
road lines, whose only reason for exist
ence was an injurious rivalry with estab
lished lines of traffic, and the completion
of which bas proven damaging to capital
already invested without anording compen
sating facilities to the people at large ; and
we do hereby urge upon the Legislature
the importance of checking the construc
tion of further parallel roads, tapping our
mail, lines, diverting that trade which le
gitimately belongs to them, seriously im
pairing tbe State's interest in tbe North
Carolina Railroad, and destroying a system
which would build up the Bast as well as
tne West. And especially do we oppose
the extension of the 'Midland Railroad
from Danville to Statesville, and favor the
defeat of that project by any legitimate
meass.
