criticising Gen. Mahone's purposes in
regard to the Western North Carolina

article as we have no evidence of Gen.
Mahone's designs in the premises. We
do not doubt that the Southern Securi
ty Company, the Pennsylvania Central
and Mahone have an eye to their own
interests and care but little about the
interests of North Carolina. We
have no sympathy with any of their
schemes, and we ask the Legislature to
do all in their power to protect the

Patrick McGowan, Esq., Keeper
op the Capitol. As our readers will
readily remember,Mi Gorman one of the
Representatives of this county in the
House,, some days since offered a reso.
lution raising a Joint Select Committee
to investigate certain charges against
this official of malfeasance in office. The
Committee was appointed and an In
vestigation gone into. The report of the
Commitvee, submitled in the House yes
terday by Mr. Gorman, fully acquits
Mr. McGowan t of, the ; charges made
against him. Here is the report: j ;
"The Committee respectfully beg
leave to report that under the general
charge iu the resolution of mal
feasance in 1 office, there were five
distinct specifications brought to
the notice of the Committee,
all of which were carefully noticed and
witnesses qualified and examined oh
both sides to the number 13 ; and upon
the evidence adduced they unanimous
ly -agree that it is the boucden duty of
the Committee to fully acquit Patrick
McGowaD, Keeper of the Capitol, from
any malfeasance in office on all of the
charges brought against him. ; , j
Your Committee, however, beg leave
to state further that some irregularities
do exist a3 to the affairs of the keeping
of the Capitol and Capitol grounds, and
although,according to evidence brought
before the Committee, these irregular-i
itie3 existed to a much smaller extent
under the management ot the present
Keeper of the Capitol than heretofore,
yet they feel it to be their duty to
recommend some amendment to the
law for the government of the Keeper
of the Capitol.

This able publication is on our table.
It is published in Louisville, Ky., and is
edited by the distinguished E. S. Gail
lard, M. D., Professor of the Principles
and Practice of Medicine in the Louis
ville Medical ColUge, assisted by a corps
of Associate Editors of marked ability,
among whom we recognise the name of
Dr. W. A. B. Norcom, of this State.
This Journal justly stands at the
head of American Medical Monthlies,,
and the name of the distinguished
Gaillard as ils Editor is a sufficient
guarantee to all Southern gentlemen as
to its ability and value. He will be
pleasantly remembered by the veteran
soldiers of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, as their Medical Director, who, in
tne discharge- of his duties, lost his
right arm at the battle of Seven Pines,
by the side of his commanding Gener
al, Joseph Johnston. The medical pro
fession of the South will be pleased to
see the face of the distinguished south
ern physician, Dr. J. Marion Sims,
whose portrait embellishes this number.
We cordially recommend the Richmond
and Louisville Journal' to the medical
profession ot North Carolina. It is the
largest Medical monthly published in
the Union. Terms, $5.00 per annum.

I must be allowed to add my tribute
of respect to the soldiers for their good
