We learn f rom the Charlotte Observer that
while returning, Saturday night, from Ral

and to deliver his lecture on " The Scatter
ed Nation," Governor Vance got out of the
train at Greensboro, for a lunch, leaving in
the seat which he had just vacated, the ele
gant ebony, gold-headed cane which was
presented to him, about six weeks ago, by
the Jewish youths of Wilmington, and
when he returned found that the cane had
been stolen:1 'Though a careful search was
made, inside the train and out, the investi
gation failed to reveal the whereabouts of
the stolen property and nothing has yet
been heard from it.

in the' meantime been stolen. In the pock

A MEETING OF THE BSARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS, called and - held Juno ' 13d,
1875, Jas. WU8oriEsq., Chairman, haTing boen ap-
. pointed on a committee to examine and report apon
the work of the transcription of the Indexes of the
county which work was performed by J. H. Smyth
preferred, in the report made.grave charges which,
reflect upoa the character of j; JL Smyth. Lr '- ' '
fiow, that the public may not oe misled by the
outrageous and unfounded statements made in the
report made by this Wilson, which are as barren of
truth and confirmation as he (Wilson) is of common
honesty: I beg leave to call attention of the public
to the facts in the case, and thereby first exonerate
myBelf of any wrong or any colob of wrong, and
vindicate the Board of Commlnfioners, Wilson al
ways excepted. ' i.Vj.'JI- ;..!: .
At a Meeting of the Board of Com missioner held
October 15th1874, as appears by the Records to be.
found In the office of the Register , of Deeds, Book-
C, page S33, the contract was awarded to me, my
bid being lees than that of Mr. Bishop., The work
was entered upon, and running through a period of
seven months, with the assistance of Mr.' Alfred
Lind, the matter of transcription or copying -vim
fully and entirely completed, as per contract, any.
statementa of Jas. JWilsoh to the contrary not:
withstanding. .The proof of this statement is on the
face of the records, and an inspection being suffi
cient to satiffy any one of the facts, James Wilson
always excepted."" f ' '
He states that the work is incomplete. The books
have never been pronounced complete, and have'
never been handed over by" the contractor to the
Board as complete. . The statement is worth noth-
Wilson claims that there are thousands of abbre.
vintions and many names spelled incorrectly. .
There are many abbreviations,' but all of them are
at Christian names;' and the Christian names of
males. Now, to say that it 1 annoying er trouble
some to any man or common, intelligence, . to say
nothing of the learned members of the. bar, that
such abbreviations are improper, or cause any an
noyance to any one to read readily is sheer folly
always excepting Jas. -Wilson. ;; .
As to the spelling of proper names, every ' ote of
any cultivation knows that there is no role by which
to be guided, and in making a copy of. an instrn
ment'the original ahonld be followed strictly. .;: : i
The correction, whiah la the last work to be per
formed, has not been completed, nor, has it been
contended to have yet been commenced.
As far as the work has proceeded it has been per
formed well aril caref ally. '' ! -" ' ' "
The colloquy which took place between me and
Jas.:Wilon was,' stripped of verbiage, a baseless,
unfounded, nnsustaincd reflection on me as a. gen
tleman and an honest man, and an nnsustained at
tack upon the Beard of Commissioners, which was
censured severely by the Jioard's refusal lo adopt
the report' ! ' ' ,'' 1 ' " i; :
These unfounded eharges which were made, were
made with reference to the work performed by con
tract, to wit, the Index Books. . -i
Now, this man has sought to impress the Bord
and community that I altered a check, drawn for
$359 in my favor to $350. So far from such state
ments being true, the facta must Impress any one
that some motive other than the public good, and a
direct intent to injure my reputation, actuated this
man to make the charge. u,. u.iti
On or about the 17th of Mar I nnt hettmt th AnA.
Ring Committee a bill tworn to by me for aa instal
ment, to wit, $350. This bill wast at the request of
the Committee, withdrawn, after it had been audit
ed ana ine warrants-made out for that tmornit Tha
reason for withdrawal was that that inclnded the
oaiance or contract money, and they desired me to
make the bill for $250. Pursaant to their desire the
bill was destroyed and the one substituted for $250
was audited, warrant drawn, ana Register of Deeds
requested (in connection with a hundred other war
rant) to draw an order for the amount $250. The
Register having drawn the warrant for $3i0 instead
of $250, himself made the alteration.
The course pursued by me to secure my Instal
ment $250 was theproper. legal manner of pro
cedure. . That Jas. Wilson did not desire the war
rant to be drawn amounted to nothing, his objec
tion being made a nullity by the action oi the Aud
iting Oommittee,by which the bill was audited,there
being no other nor anv higher power in the county
for passing on the claim against the county. The
action of toe Board in approving the report cf the
Auditing Committee, In which this bill was fully
and clearly get out, was proper and legal. The ac
tion of the Board in directing tho Chairman pro
temport to sign the one hundred warrants of which
this $250 was ane, was proper and legal.
The whole transaction ab initio was proper and
legal, as will more fully appear by reference to the
report of the Auditing Committee, warrant book of
the Auditing Committee, money order book of the
Register of Deeds, all of which may be found in the
office of the Register, and the bank statement of the
business of the 9th of June, 1875.
These are the facts, fully recited, and the means
indicated for proving the same. Yet in the face of
all this, this man Wilson, on account of personal
spite, ostensibly because I did not show him . the
"courtesy." as fce calls it, of waiting upon him to
attend to the business of the county for which he
was elected, and which he neglects, to attend to du
ties in Mew York for seven months; which he neg
lects to go on frolics down tho Cape Fear.
This man. who finds errors, criminality and short
comings where none exist, would receive from me
the chastisement and censure he deserves if I were
not cognizant that he was m New York four of the
seven months no was absent involuntarily, belrar a
