Jarvis and ! Worth granted the ex tension of time asked for by the Bu ford Syndicate, whilst Senator Vance declined ito give his assent. Messrs. Jarvis and Worth consider that since May , lasi the ' extension has been granted, f It dates from July 1, 1 8'81, to November 1,. 1881, four months. They claim to have served "the best interest of .'the State" by. granting thej extension asked for in .April last. Senator Vance offered ; ths follow ing! resolution, j which was rejected by the other two Commissioners: . 1 Besotted, That the Governor of the State be informed that! the failure of the assig nees of the Western North Carolina Rail road to completej the said road to Paint Rock and Pigeon River by July 1, 1881. as heretofore reported, has continued for nine ty days and more, viz: from said July 1st until this date, November 17, 1881, and thai the United States Trust Company be also informed of said failure on the part of said assignees to; perform their contract, and that, in the j opinion of the Commis sio lers, they have forfeited the same." j. . We do not deem it necessary to go in; o the question of who is right in th s matter atany great length. We ha ve heretofore expressed our views wth some fulness. ; We pointed 'out ' onlyl a f ew days ago .how, Senator .nce's course had been salutary,and had worked like a charm in pricking "u to their engagements the Big Bu idci Syndicate, 1 and in gaining some measure of redress in the matter of unjust discriminations. We will merely say now what in i some form we have said before, that there are two things we hold to be certain pos itively, to wit:' : .i! .; , ; i. i J First, the delay on the part -of the Big Buford Syndicate was of their own volition, and they alone are re sponsible. It was their voluntary -delay in complying s with their obli gations that necessitated their appli cation . for a four months' extension of time, and which has been granted by Messrs. Jarvis and Worth.. s j Second, in discriminating as they did against North Carolina citizens in tneir charges they violated the ex press terms of the contract, and in thus discriminating unjustly and in violation of its pledges they threw a . peculiar and important responsibility Upon the Commissioners.". Our recol-lection- is: that a discrimination against North ' Carolina towns . and citizens, according to the terms of the sale, -would . be a cause : of forfeiture.- That there were discrimina tions, t and of a most shameful and flagrant kind, and with much repeti tion, is too plain we j suppose to be . denied by any one who regards facts (The . following are the. reasons in epitome assigned by Senator jVance for- not aereeiner t6 the extension ted for: . . ., w , . o , ' . ; as ft. Since acquiring possession of said road th(j assignees ; have developed a purpose to obtain control of all the transportation lines infNortir Carolina, from Raleigh, west, and constitute already a monopoly danger ous to both the political and material inter ests of the State. ;- : ' "" v i 2. .They have given earnest of these pur poses by discriminating against the people of North Carolina in fayor of strangers and between the people; thereof, in violation of law; in the matter of freights and charges. 3. 'Another - party, that from whom the assignees obtained this property, offers to repurchase and finish according to contract, th4 said roads, and ! build another, connect ing therewith, from Salisbury to Goldsboro, at Jheir own expense, thus establishing a direct line from Ducktown to Beaufort harlK) and furnishing competition against th0 monopoly of the assignees; r 1 f4. ' Inasmuch as the failure to finish the road to Paint Rock and Pieeon Rive from, causes for which t the asaienees were responsible, and ." which ,they could easily uayc euiiuuuuiijeu oy . uuigence ana energy, in my opinion,: the i clause for, indulgence provided for iu the law is not meritorious, an I, for one, am not disposed to grant fa vor in behalf of the : State to; those , who show her none, and especially will I not ex tend indulgence to the . monopoly which is seejdng to enrich the people and cities of other States at. the expense of sacrificing the-. only hope .of . obtaining the long ch rishea idea of a grand central trunk line from the Mississippi f .Valley . to , Beaufort harbor, without cost to the HtatA. anri pSA ' line from Goldsboro to Salisbury will not mjiuum. uniess ine party constructing it can obtain possession of the Western North Ca- rouna Bailroad.?, ; : ... ..,; . u Messrs.s statement of the reasons which ; ope ' ratfed ln causing' them to grant an ei tension of .time, say r . ; -. j"At the time thev tatrxiA tln; PxiWtn it: was nnnown.to them' that there was oUier Party wiping to undertake the work if abandoned by the assignees. 'Ihey had then never heard of the Boston syndicate. It is true that the Hon. R. R. Bridgers visit ed the Commissioners at. their April meet ing, and offered to . take the Cdn'tact and pay the State a bonus,' but hg Was told by the Commissioners,! Commissionejrance acting as speaker ior the Commissioners, that they had no power to put him. in vas ninn of the road even if they should declare the contract forfeited and put the assignees out; that the only power the Commission-, era had was to declare the contract for feited, and the sole result of this would be to throw the road oacK npon vue oiie, nuu that before. hojsuffS one. eiscQU4flLefe4Si the Legislature would ay ;e .to nas? another t knthnrizinff hv to be sold a second time. It was under s these icircumstances; and in th vRpf 'then aft now. that thev were serv ing the best interest of the Btate they feign-; We have not the contract at, hand, but our recollection is that the Com missioners1 represent the interests , of the State, and that if the' Syndicate failed to; comply with its contract the; property was to reyeri t? the. State., The point is, has there been violation on the part of the Syndicate? " If so,. how can the' Commissioners refuse to hold them to a strict . aceounta,bility : according to the letter and spirit' of the contract? ' Have they done so? Xli BCCU1S Witli ucuatui ,- T auu a m-; tice, as recorded above, ticannot t be given until ninety, days after Novem- ber l,that is until February 1. ' So in fact the B.: BV S.'get seven mohths ' extension after yiolating tlie contract. An Augusta (Ga.) . capitalist has been North to raise ' funds for a new cotton factory at: that towns He suc ceeded : in I 'obtaining two-thirds of $500,000 ; the remainder being raised , at home. , The , Greensboro Patriot interviewed him and we gather two points. The Patriot asked : ! 'J-v 4 "Did you experience much difficulty in controlling Northern capital? ' ' ; iT "Yes. considerable. Northern capitalists look upon Southern people-as politicians. While the field Jor investment in the South is good, as Jhey , readily r acknowledge, yet ; thev have the very least confidence possible in our business management and sagacity." The question waja put, if the suc cess of cotton milling in Georgia, which astonished the Northern capi talists greatly, was phenomenal, and the reply was: .". . ; " ;' '- (. ; '. t , "Ob, no." We understand - our business. and are attending to it strictly. -CWe have divorced business from pontics.

Booth, Barrett,' McCullougb: and Keene are regarded as the four lead I ing actors on the American stage. Booth is thought by most critics and theatre-goers to be first.

"The character of Yirginipt. demands an impressive repose of manner' breadth of style, and imposing appearance, Bimple and vigorous action, and tragic pathos ; these are essentially the large and striking ; elements of Mr. McCullough's most effective acting, and these are observed in his Yirgiriiti hap pily and naturally blended. The personage is heroic,, and Mr. ' McCullough's talent- which never rises to genuine tragic passion, and which is neither flexible nor subtle is cast in a statuesque and heroic mold.. ; The effect of his rjerformance in this' character is impressive to the eye and pleasing to the imagination.
