Bit wife la the daughter ol Bartlett Yancey, whoae memory all men who knew him revere. Hon. Giles Mebsee and Ltneul Mabine hie brother, married Mm. flwepsm's sis ter. Their brother, James Mebaae, married the aiater of the editor ol the SaxTiRBi and this pot blm oa terms of intimacy with all tbe families aimed. The friendship so eetablished ran through years, it was warm, sincere and cordial We bad partaken of bweptoa's hospital! ty, and our father was of kin to Bartlett Yancey. We bad a special regard lor Mrs. Swepsoo, who wm pretty girl and grer up a proud woman, proud of ber name and familv. aa ebe ooeht to bate been. We were always pained to say that whlcfe would wound ber pride or mortify ber feeliogf. To save tbe feelingaof wires and cbil dren we bare lorboroe to name men in Wil mington, Raleigh, Greensboro, Salisbury, Charlotte and Abbeville, who bad parta ken of the spoil under Bwepeon, Little field and Holdcn. When a friend of Or. Uawkias, ooeeaaid we were doing bim in justice, we told him to say to tbe Dr. our ecquaintaaoe with his father, his brothaia aad his sisters made It painful to take such notice ot him, but a public necessity d mended it. We bad partaken ol the Doctor's hospitality, and our recollection of bia kindred aad Jamily was pleasant and delightful. Tin Doctor's friend said he appreciated our message, and it warmed up bis heart This much by way of mercy oa atleace we may bare ahowa to the spoilers of the State, some of whom had furnished put of the $25,000 to-run the Itstelgtti A'evi. Bear In mind tbe date of oar friendly letters to Swepsof. And now for a truthful statement of the whole matter, and you will find no dirt or stain In it. When Oor. Wcrtb was elected, without ever a word, direct or direct, be lent word by Cspt-.in John Berry that he de-,1 sired os "to take the presidency of the V. C. Railroad, for he knew tbe affairs would ... 1. VHMtlJ MvMMMWfcVM, IUU l AII.MV would put his brains upon it, he ywould make a first rate President." liefurther said that Turner ahould choose such di- rectors as would be agrteable to him, be reserving the right to confirm his choice. Swepfoa was one of Uolden's Directors. Gov. Worth wanted Dr.Moore,of Haw Riy er.aa a Director, we both wrote and spoke to bweptoD to knowMoore's feelings on tbe subject of President of tbe road. We desired to be sustained by the stockhold ers aa wll aa by the Governor and the State authorities, tbe State owning three fourths of the toad. When we were elect ed to C ingress just after the surrender, Swepsoo loaned oa the money to go n Washington. We wrote to Mr. Willard of the Orange Factory, i II red bim per soual security and a mortgage on land for tbe loan of 8300, the amount we want el. Then we wrote to Mr. Edwin Holt, of Hew River; we failed to get tbe money. For tbe Congressional Campaign in 1869 we borrowed 850 of Mr. Tho. Hill, twenty ol Webb, about tbe asms from H. N. Brown, and ten each from some doses other frienda. When we were elected, Swepaoa loaned us the money to repay these gentlemen, besides money to go to Congress, for the seat we never got. We borrowed $400 or Bwepeon that Clark and Dunham have failed to men tion. Daniel Worth, ol the Shops, can tell tbem of it, for tbe money was repaid through bim. We desired Swcpson on the board because be could command the stock ol bis connection in Caswell, snd we thought ot others who held a Urge amount of stock. .At the date of tbeae transactions Swepsou'a reputation was.aa gooJ aa any maa'a, and much better than soma stockholders la tbe AW. Tbe let ter dated Hiltsboro', March 81, aod pub liahed in the JVews, shows thst we had a note in bank by which tbe various amounts due Swepaoa were secured. Bo we owed bim tbea no more than one maa owea another who hss borrowed money from him, and that puts the bor rower under no obligations when be bss repaid tbe money with InUreet. The favor conferred la not always on one side The holder of money is always aaainas to lend. For this money so borrowed, Swepaoa or his bank (for be owned most of It at the time) has oar note with security, snd a judgment oa the note, aod a sale of our owa as wtll a the property of Joaiah Turner, Sr, to satisfy tbe debts end de mands. Tbe property sold at half price would pay the debts three timet over. Tbe only thins; that gave as trouble or coooera was that another property should have beea sacrificed lor our debts. We defy Bwepeon, Duahim and dark, aad all the atock holders of tbe Aries, to show one act, public or private, that can be tortured into a alga area of dishonor or corruption. ot. Worth had cause to he proud of many acta of hiiidmlnts'ratlpa. but there ' was none he talked of more than tha adminlatratloa of the North Carolina railroad. We curtailed eipendi ture about $100 000 per annum, aad made tbe Raleigh aad Gaatoaroad pay a bone of near $100,000 for the privilege f tak ing the freights on that road tyese two acts the old Quaker Governor declared were worthy of Napoleoo. This corpor ation can now trace its proeperty to these two acts of which the Governor was more proe! tluawe, Neither Holdea or wepoa oouli bribe us.

At last, and after all this. Holden wrote us a note atating who be had seen of the mili'ar, and when an how Gen. Canby would call for a vot convention, 4m.

JWePSONLAKK AND DUNHAM. Aa soon as read the csrd ol this trio charging fr insinuating that Montero had woa money from us at laro some e;g'it years ago, and trie: we nan been on inti mate'' terms with Swepsoo, Jfcc We sent poster ell over th elty iavltieg ihe ergy, Sunday School teachers aod mem bers of the Legislature to hear- us at Tucker Hall at 7 J oVock. The hour came and all the people too. Toe ball waicrowde I and the iralleriea filled. We said the peoole of North Carotins from Bertie to Burke had beard what be bad to say about bees, sheep, composting, clover and deep plowing. It was our duly by way of reply to a malicious card put forth by Carkc, Duuuuin and Swepsi n in this morning's ATeiei.now to tell what he knew about card playing, especially la North Cirolina. Carls were invented for the amusement of Cbarlea 2d, and they bad been a grief ti aa many as they had amused. He bad no defence to make for csrd playing such as wm nude by the great moralist, Dr. Johnston, who said that a man who played cards with out making it a business was no more a gambler than a dry goods raeicbant who sold a poc'-ict knife was an iron monger. trading was a species of betting or gambling said tbe Doctor. If a mso bought cotton at U cents it wns simply a bet that he would se.l it for more; ifbe did not be lost, u be did he won. This is bsd morality for a moralist to teach, and the frienda and admirera of tbe old moraliat bave aaid he did it to please bis friend Goldsmith, who played caids late, long and deep. When the speaker came to the bar thirty years ago, card playiug waa common with tbe bar and even among the Judges. In former days Judgea played upon tbe circuit. Judge Battle had this evening informed bim of a Judge who was at Bertie Ciurt presented by tbe Grand Jui J for ptayl-g cards all the night be foie, When the foremen beaded ia tbe presentment tbe Judge read, smiled and put tbe paper ia bis pocket A member of tbe bar of great distinction informed us this evening that his great uncle, a Judge, was addicted, to cards, snd tbe old people of his town said tbe evil ex ample of tbe Judge waa felt to this day. An old t't'.tun of Hiltsboro, with whom the speaker, hsd played mai.y game 'of cards, ', was ., fond ,; ol tellirs!' how lie, old -Solicitor' Joaee the ' Judge aad Foreman of the gmad jury would a t up all night at Fad d is' 'hotel playing cards, and goat 10 o'clock into court. This old hotel by tbe by waa the house ia which the lathers met to consider the adoption of tbe fed eraU'onstitution. Tbey eew its davgere aad imperfections snd rejected It. We heaid it told- of Chief Justice ot tbe 8tatk that he lost all his money the first time he ever attended court at Oxford, as a young attorney. It was bis first snd last lessen at cards. We beard tbe story of a distinguished Judge, wbea a boy wss given to cards, and bis lather could sot whip it out of bin. On one occasion a granger camped aear his bouse oa bia way to Fayettevitle, loaded with "songs and flour. Tbe granger had a atallioa lead behind tbe wagon. The boy judge en gaged tbe granger at cards by tbe camp fire.. They played two days and nlehti wbea tha boy, woa all his whiskey and and bis eta!. Uoa, Dolaa. The granger lecov ered bis whiskey sod flour by buying it back aas ' giving his note for It. The Judge ia embryo novated Dolan and rode bom,got'a whipping for' hi game. and Dolaa was returned to the unskilled-1 gfeeger if csrde, to-use a aaotvulga. Ian, tha granger waa "cured! of sucking eggs," while the boy continued to ptsj after be came to tbe bench. A member ef tbe bsr told us this i renins of a fa mous game between on! ef North Cue- liaaw saeet distiagaiehsd next ah net lodges and a member of the Icuiatore, iq which the judge woa $.10,0(0 and a wit a tbe age, aod refused to csll tbe member wbea he pot p tbe negroes sad plantation. Th a CR r of tbe bar, lion, p. F! Moore, will excuse us for telling while he did not play himself, he would set by at a late boor watching tbe g me to take care af ba ftieod Uilbsiaa, wiu weuld go deep into bis cups aa well aa tbe game.
