mltment for Trial. I H -: ,
A young colored man bys the name 1 of
James Walker was arraigned bef ore United
States Commissioner J. J. Cass'ujey, fester
day morning,, on the charge that he "did
pass, utter and publish and did attempt to
pass, utter and publish as true a falsely al
tered and spurious circulating note, issued
or purporting to be issued by the Treasurer
of the United States, knowing the same to
have been falsely altered and spurious,' in
violation of the statute is said case made
and provided." ".Iff f
It seems that on the 17th -of November
last the defendant Walker went Jo the store
of the Whiteville Wine Company, at White-ville,-
Columbus county, and purchased
some wine. Not having the, right change
he inf ormed the clerk in charge of the store
at the time, a young man, J that! he would
have to take the amount out of a twenty
dollar bill, at the same time; presenting a
note purporting to be or that denomination.
. . , , ' 6 i, t.
glance and proceeded to search his money
drawer for the requisite amount of change.
Failing in securing it he went i across the
street to another store, where he encoun
tered Mr. Hayes, the Sheriff of the
county, to whom he applied fur the
change, ' The Sheriff took j the . ! note,
examined it and pronounced it spurious,
asking where the man was - tiiat attempted
to pass it. The clerk replied that he was
in his store. The Sheriff immediately ac-
companied the young man to the store in
question, where he arrested; Walker and
subsequently lodged him in Jail. ' The pris
oner gave his name as John McNeill and
said he obtained the money in Cumberland
county, but shortly after this Statement was
made an acquaintance called and asked per
mission to see James Walkeri who was in
jail for passing counterfeit imoney. The
Sheriff informed him that he bad no pris
oner by that name, but admitted the visitor,
who, as soon as he saw the prisoner.'recog
nized him and called him Janies; The Sher
iff then asked the real name of the prisoner
and the visitor replied that it j was James
Walker. - ". " f ' " . ;.-! 1 -
Defendant was kept in jail at Whiteville,
it being the impression of the: authorities
that he could be tried by the St(ate Courts,
but finally, they having beei convinced to
the contrary, he was sent don here for ex
amination before a U. S. Commissioner;
Three notes were exhibited n the trial.-
One of these had been of thej denomination
of $2, but a very bungling -attempt had
been made to alter it to a $2) npte. To do
this the other two notes, wjhijch were of the
denomination of $1 each, bajd been used in
this manner: The letterj in the word
"One" where it occurred on the bills had
been cut out and pasted by; the side of the
figure 2 so as to-alter the $2 iiote into a $20
note. Of course the difference in the size
and appearance of the figure 2 and the let
ter O, which was made toj dp the duty of a
cypher, made the fraud easy of detection
where the slightest attention was paid to the
appearance of the note. Inlfact the whole
affair showed want of skillj.and ingenuity
on the part of the counterfeiter, though he
may liave previously succeeded in defraud
ing a few of the unwary, i i
It seems that the authorities at Whiteville
were seriously contemplating the release of
Walker, he having been in pau so long and
there being no actual evidence of intention
al fraud on his part, but one day the jailor
happened to notice the corner of j a bank
note protruding from a slight rent in the
coat collar of the prisoner j His curiosity
- """nt V t ," '7
being, excitofl he suddenly iook hold of the
2 '
corner of the note and drew that ! and its
companion from their hiding: place, when
they proved to be the two; $1 notes from
which the letter O had been cut and pasted
on the spurious note. The
prisoner realized
the strength and weight
of .the eyidence
against him and thereupon acknowledged
r
that he bad made tne alterations aiiuaed to.
The defendant, who belongs in Cumber
land county, but had f orlsome time pre
vious to bis arrest been residing in Bladen,
was ordered by Commissioner . Cassidey
to give security in the sum of $500 for his
appearance at the next term of the U. S.

ays since: ;
Bucksville, Horry Co., S. C, )
March 22, 1875.
Messrs. Editors:' As the Stab seems de
voted to matters of commerce. I have thought
the following appropriate for its columns.
hq Kind enough tnen to give me your opin
ion oh the following: j ; i i .
1. iWny isit that inspectors in Wilming
ton require two hundred and eighty pounds
for a barrel of hard turpentine when the
aws of your State (Bat Kev.i pace 500. sec
54) say that "every barrel of hard turpen
tine shall be of the weight of two hundred
and forty pounds cross." liWo remember
full well the universal satisfaction given by
a former repiesentative of your county in
the State Legislature, the kite Thomas H.
w imams, in securing the enactment of the
present turpentine law, but Cannot see how
the law can now be so effectually evaded,
especially when there is a severe penalty
oa the inspector for. not complying with
the law. .; I . j ...
2. Could the inspector plead the two hun
dred and forty pounds requirement as a
rule of the common law in lite place of a di
rect statute ? i B.
i In reply to our correspondent we would
state that we have consulted with nearly all
the prominent distillers and shippers of this
ei;ty,!some of whom have been in the busi
ness ;for as long a period as thirty years,
and jheyagree in the statement that no less
tlian, two, hundred and eighty pounds has
eyer jbeep recognized as the standard weight
of a barrel of hard turpentine, and that it
Is, the custom throughout the world wher
ever a barrel, of the product finds a market.
Que of them informs us tha he frequently
purchases barrels of hard turpentine from
South Carolina which, weigh as high as
four bundred pounds, which he pays for at
the rate of two hundred and eighty pounds
to the barrel; and this is the custom in all
such! cases. - After all, they argue, it would
make no difference whether the barrel
should weigh two hundred and eighty or
two I hundred and forty pounds, as the re
duction or increase of price would be made
to correspond. Very few were aware of
the existence of such a law on the subject
as that quoted by our correspondent, but
readily found it upon reference to the page
and Wtion in Battle's Revisal cited in the
above communication. What effect a
knowledge of the law regulating the matter,
as laiddown in the standard publication re
ferred to, will have, we Cannot say, but
all we have conversed with j on the subject
seem to lay great stress o the long-established
custom in the premises prevalent here
and elsewhere. We are satisfied that our
correspondent is mistaken jjin the supposi
tion' that there is any disposition to evade
the law, but custom, as stated above, has
regulated the matter for jjthe past .thirty
years or more,

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.
A New York correspondent of J,he Chris
tian SunF. A. Holmes speaks of a very
nteresting lecture delivered before the New
York association for the advancement of
Science and Art by George Ticknor Curtis,
subject, "The Nature of the American
Union as the principal controversy in the
ate Civil War." . The lecture was so well
appreciated that a resolution of thanks to
the eminent speaker was made by J udge
Pierepont and seconded in an able speech of
Dr. Crosby, (Chancellorof i the University
of New York.) Dr. Prime courteously in
vited gentlemen in the audience to make re
marks on its passage.which called forth com-
limentary addresses from Rev. Dr. R. S. Mo
ran.late of Wilmington, N. C. .David Dudley
Field, and Hon. Edward Pierepont Dr. Mo-
ran s remarks were particularly well chosen,
but I have never yet heard him speak other
wise than effectively. Addressing the Presi
dent (who recognized him as Dr. Moran from
North Carolina); he said in substance "that
though a comparative stranger among them
from the Old iNorth state, yet l teei quite
at home amidst such surroundings. I have
listened with deepest interest and rare pleas
ure to the gentleman's lucid and logical.
clear, cogent and convincing statement and
discussion of the great constitutional ques
tions which have se long and so painfully agi
tated our country. It is particularly pleasing
to me to bear from the lips of a Northern man
a vindication so just, not to say generous, so
complete and so unanswerable of the honor
and honesty of the South in committing
herself to the position which she occupied
in this unfortunate controversy. I am
more than grateful, I am delighted, at the
hearty, emphatic endorsement which this
most righteous and reasonable defence of
the much maligned South has just received
from the distinguished gentleman who has
preceded me in speaking. I think I have rea
son to know that the propagation and ac
ceptance of such views and sentiments
through; ir the Northern States, whatever
intelesteu i. n);igogues might urge to the
contrary, is j.. t the one thing yet
needed to silence the Hateful discord
of sectional strife and usher in that new
era of good wilf and brotherly kindness for
which the whole South has been anxiously
waiting so long. ' The resentments naturally
resulting from repeated insults and injuries
will soon be forgotten amid the amenities
of wiser and worthier counsels, and our
prosi rated industries and paralyzed ener
gies will immediately give signs of recover
ed life and vigor such as might not be un
aptly symbolized by the approaching re
susitation of the natural world under the
quickening influances of the vernal sun."
These remarks of Dr. Moran were heartily
applauded by the entire ! audience. The
Doctor, though absent from" North Caroli
na, seems not to have allowed his affections
for her to grow cool, but they have rather
been intensified, and he fails not, where
ever oocasion allows, to speak a word for
that Southern land which he has learned to
love so well since it was the home of his
adoption. I;

COUNTY SEAT OF PENDER.
Wilmington & Weldok R. R. Co. )
Office of General Scp't.
Wilmington, N. C, March 30, 1875. )
G. F. Walker, Eng., Burgaw, 2T. C:
Dear Sir: W. H. James, Esq., Civil
Engineer, has examined the land at Burgaw
Station lying between the railroad and Bur
gaw Creek and reports it a good location for
a town and well situated for drainage, in
measuring a distance of j some 600 to 700
yards to the Creek he finds a fall of fifteen
feet. . !
He has laid off a plat containing 73 acres
of land divided into lots and streets. If
the people will locata the Court House for
Pender county there, one-half of the lots
will be given to the county, one-fourth of
the proceeds to the improvement of the
streets and the remaining fourth for ticket
office and other depot conveniences. Lots
for churches and school houses will be given
outside of the plat surveyed by Mr, James.
Should parties who settle there wish
land for their own use -outside of
the corporate limits it will be sold
at reasonable rates, such as shall be
satisfactory. Material forcounty buildings
shall be' transported on the railroad at cost
and for individuals twenty per cent shall
be deducted for one year.
The deed mortgaging the property of the
company provides that the trustees from
time to time shall have power to dispose of
any property not required for railroad use,
This property was heavily timbered and
bought a few years ago to supply f uel to
the railroad, which has been cut off.
A prosperous town is of much more im
portance to the railroad than selling a few
acres of, land with the wood cut off. The
above offer nas been made with tne beiiet
that this is the best and most suitable loca
tion on the line of railroad for a courthouse
in Pender county. If this is not the best
we hope the best will be found and selected.
A man according to Mr. James' survey
will be placed in the railroad office at Bur
gaw, and another will be found at his office
in the city of Wilmington, lours, res
pectfully, John F. Divine, Sup't.
, Wilmington, 30th March, 187.1.
Hon. B. JL Bridgets, President W. & TP".
Railroad Company: jj ;
Dear Sir: In compliance with your re
auest I have made an examination and
survey of the location of Burgaw tendered
to the county of Pender for county seat.
I find it in every way very well suited to
such use. The drainage is all that could be
desired: the fall from the surface of the
erronnd at the station house to Burgaw
Creek beine fifteen feet i in eight hundred
yards, and the fall to Osgood's Creek twelve
to fourteen ieet in irom nve 10 six nunureu
vards. The surface of this tract (of seven
ty-three acres) is generally smooth, but
somewhat rolling towards Osgood's Wlreek
on east and south sides, and Burgaw Creek
on the north side. The ; water at liurgaw
station is remarkably good.
A map of this tract, with levels shown
thereon, and proposed subdivision juto
lots and blocks, can be seen at the office of
James & Brown, at Wilmington, and at
Burgaw station house. !
Very respectfully,
