So the Western Railroad matter has
finally been , settled. 'Vance roles a
gainst Andrews, ' io Tavo' of Best," and
Jarvis 'and Worth' vote "against Best,
for Andrews.' W? know not which got
the biggest pile; the general impression
is that both Jarris and Vance were
feed as attorneys, yon know, of course,
The fact is the people never believed
that the big row was going to amount to
very much, so far as the i-state was'con-j
cerned; : it was only to see which side
had the most money. ' And we expect
the teat proved satisfactory,, to ;bothi
Vanco , and Jaryis Yoo! pays yoor
money and you takes yoof choice.'' "
But Andrews- got is Umg extended
for three months, to finish the' road, all
the same, notwitbsUtfding.yance'a big
talk about, what he wss going to do for,
the dear people.; Vance is a politician
of the first order, and be cares nothing
tor the people except to humbug them,
and in that ne is foual td'Barnum, of
New York. v':; :-''J

We publish the above for "the pur

cording to the above letter, he only haa
fifUen days to make the town of Jacksonville..-
He passes through about fif
teen cities of importance, jet he must
make Jacksonville in fit teen days, and
should' he get sick at 'Wilmington, or
Charleston, or any other . place, and
have to turn back home, he mast loose
his ticket and pay his passage to return,
from the fact that he has not been to
Jacksonville and had his' ticket In
This qnrstion is of importance to
Wilmington; therefore we hope Colonel
Pope, who, has charge of the matter,
will give some attention to it. He has
always : shown a very . commendable
spirit toward this place, notwithstand
ing the worst of enterprise on the part
of the citixeas,-. and we hope he will

he ought to do, aad it It to he hoped
he will do, is to so arraoge the tickets
that the holder can stop over io Wil

We believe it wUi.be a great induce

Deak Sib: Will you do me the
kindness to publish "Pro Bono Publi
co'a" letter. I am still of the opinion
that Col. Bridgers thinks an answer to
the questions put to him about C W,
Oldham's neglect, would, inform the
public that there had- been neglect
He hopes by not agitating this subject
it will all soon pass over as still-born
matter. I have received a great many
complimentary letters for informing the
public of this abuse of office Some of
these letters have been from the most
intelligent of North Carolina's sons,
and from gentlemen filling the; most
responsible positions in the state. I
think a curse, sooner or later, will over
take any man who thinks he is so high
in life that public sentiment cannot
reach him. : His summit has been well
nigh, attained and his downfall is as
certain as his position has been ridicu

you so oiten for favors, I remain yours,

Mr. W. P. Oldham : ! ..
Deab Sib On seeing the account
given by you. of the "inhuman treat
ment of CI W. Oldham by the railroad
employees, caused me to q;ive the mat
ter closeattention, and ' owin to the
position tnat j. occupied, gives me an
a v great many;
remarks in regard to the matter. Col.
Bridgers issued ordenr Chy the advice
oi nis attorney,; to uapt. Kaight and
other employees of the Railroad Com
pany, to take no notice of any.com-.
munic ttiop, cor answer ; any questions
that would in any way implicate the
Railroad Company. CapX Knight has
been very busy drilling Larkins and
his drivers, also Jacob Thompson and
Hankins. The latter has been so
thoroughly drilled, that he would hard
ly tell where the railroad shed was lo
xated. I have given this information
to you to use as ydti please, provided
my name is withheld? It is my opinion
that the railroad officials wish the
public kept in the dark as to tne facts
concerning this brutal treatment of a
passenger over this road.

' Mb. Editor: Allow me a , small
pace in your paper to express a few of
my thoaghts, and my sentiments. For
the last two wet ks I have been seeing
an account of Mr. Cary Hill, the vic
tim that was assassinated by the dam
nable assassins, May and Gardner, of
the to woof Wilson North Carolina,
From the reading of your paper, and
the edidences from which I take a de-
lieatioa I claim that they ought to be
punished to the fullest extent of the
law, This man Gardner I have seen,
and I judge from tb manner be con
ducts himself, and from the evidences
given fron your papermnd others, bo
is guilty; his associate I know nothing
of, bat I iadge he is of the same rank,
and as the SptnUh proverb presents
itself so vividly to me, "Tell mo your
associates and 1 will tell you who you
are.
Mr. Hill was a mechanic, and a spleo
did one. As a poor man, he tried to
L do his duty among his fcllow-citfaeas,
aad by this he gained the respect of
all vho BBcw him. This told blood
ed warder, aad the murderers shoohl
bo at once caeght and ponUhtd by the
law, and that to the.faUest extent. To
let three assassins escape b wroag,
worn than wrocg, it a a crime. They
are iMa-hearted. . They bars, already
