REMARKS OF. MB. EaTO.V.
Of UTAlRKS,
O the Bill to incorporate the Greeruborough
i . Danvu'e Hauroad.
Although the bill under consideration does
not ask for a single dollar from the public
chest, or tbe om in any form of the State's
. credit, still I regard it as n extreaielj im
portant one. - This bill, authorising a conneo
tioo bf railroad between laoTille and Greens-
borough, ia fraught with perilous consequences

a cur.: tion would injure aeriorwly tha X. C
Railroad, and weuIJ endanger tbe exutcnec

liab tbe prcposed connection, which t-' Cora
mitt-e on Intern' Improrrm-nt te.l ui ml
afford tbe moat direr t route from New Or
len to Wah;nctoo l?it. and nHMt of tbe
passengers will take tbe Danville line a'
Ureeosboro. Mot of the produce, too, from
tb n ea'ern eoontia that cornea eait at all
would then go into Richmond, a firatate
wheat and tobacco market, and a town with
nearly foir tiaa tbe population and eapi'a
ar in North Carolina. Richmond U re
markably veil located at the falls of James
river, aad hat ioexhausnb'e water power for
mil's and factories. Although situated in tbe
interior, she has a ready access to the At I an
tie br steamboat ; and railroads run from
this metropolis of Virginia to almost evert
section of the 3. ate. Make this connection
aad produce from tbe west must go the-e.
It will be carried in tba dire tton br a law
of trade as imperative as that law of nature
which causes tbe waters of James river to
Cow front the western mountains of Virginia
to their ocen home. Render Richmond more
accessible to tbe Western planter than oar
North Cero'ina markets as you most cer
tainly will do by allowing the proposed con
nection and ne tber ii th d z' oo or any otb
er town in North Carolina ean hope to com
pete with bt-r for (be western trade. Tbe
passage of thia b'll will be detrimental to
tbe Atlantic Road, and will blight tbe Hope
we bad cherished of building np a commer
cial city at Beaufort. It will be injurious,
to some extent, to tbe Kaleigu and Us too
road and deeply to to the Wilmington and Man
chester Roads, and consequently to IVil.uing
ton herself. Gntletnen fancy that' trade
will be diverted from Virginia into North
Carol iua by the proposed measure. They
are more sanguine than I am. I bare but
little hope of getting any of 'be products of
Virnnia within our borders, one baa excel
lent market tewns of her own. I hare al
ready dwelt on the advantages of Richmond.

FATAL AFFRAr IN WASHINGTON-
VIRGINIAN KILLED.
A tragedy of the most lamentable charac
ter, occurred In Washington city on Satur
day morning, which resulted in the death of
David Hume, a prominent citizen of Alex
andria, Va., by tbe hand of Col. D. C. Lee,
formerly of Loudon county? Va., but for sev
eral years a $1400 clerk in tbe Pension Bu
reau at Washington, and a member of the
Council of that city : !
It spprs that .Mr. Hume, a well known
eitjen of Alexandria, attended the Presi
ilfi i's. l?ve Friday eveuinz. in company with
his dmghter and (we believe) another young
lady. While slowly moving with the im
mense throng that literally filled tbe entire
Srst floor of tbe Executive Mansion, a gen
tleman immediately in front of him turned
suddenly around, seised him by tbe eoUar,
and accused him of picking bis pocket. As
inisht have been expected, very angry words
ensued, which resulted in an exchange of
cards, tbe accusing party proving to be Cot.
D. C. Lee, who has for several years held a
clerkship in the Pension Bureau.
Tbe Star of Saturday contains the follow
ing evidence given at the coroner's jury :
Solomon G. Heatoo saw the transaction at
ihe President's levee; was passing towards
(he East room with a lady, and near the door
way of tha President's reception room, came
up in be rear of Col. Lee : notioed that he
uad one or two ladies with him ; stood tbeie
tor a moment, tbe crowd being so great could
net pass ; a gentleman coming from tbe re
ceorion room met them and seemed to be
trying to pass us and go out ; deceased was
this gentleman ; Col. Lee tood rather facing
deceased, and while in that position saw Col.
Lee put his hand on his pantaloons pocket ;
be tbenpoke to deceased, and at the same
moment atepped np to him and collared him,
"yiogt "You have my pocket book ;" could
not say if deceased bad a lady with him or
not ; , Col. Lee remarked furtbe tbat he would
not let bim go until he gave up the pocket
book, and the Colonel then called for assis
tance, turning his bead towards witness ; de
ceased did not reply immediately, but look
ed surprised ; bis first reply, tbat witness
beard, was : "For what reason do you make
this ebarge !" Mr. Lee did not seem partic
ularly excited ; Lee said : "Sir, I felt your
hand in my pocket and saw you take it out
deceased replied that he had not taken the
pocket-book, and seemed surprised at tbe
charge, and immediately enquired of Col.
Lee bis name; CoL Lee gave his name and
turning to witness said here is a gentleman
who knows me ; Col. Lee still retained his
bold upon bis coat during this conversation ;
witness said to deceased that be knew Col.
Lee ; deceased began to get a little excited,
manifesting some feeling, and said to Col.
Lee, "Come, go with me ;" witness then pass
ed Col. Lee, and that is all he saw of the oc
currence then ; came up to the office about 9
this morninr, to room adjoining ; soon after
came bto this room ; found Col. Lee ; made
inquiry bow the affair terminated last night ;
he was relating the circumstance ; the chief
clerk, Mr. Cole, of tbe Pension Offioo, open
ed the door, came in, and inquired if Col.
Lee was in ; immediately two gentlemen
came into tbe room ; Col. Lee was standing
by the desk at the time ; two or three other
gentlemen were in tho room ; recognised the
deceased as one of the gentlemen who entcr
ci ; Col. I e passed towards the door from
Lm desk, ad Ta ucing somewhat towards the
geutlemeo, or in the direction of the door;
think deceased remarked, "vou are ths gen
tleman I met last night at the President's,
and accused me of taking your pocket book,
enquiring'at the same time if he recognized
him ; Col. Lee replied that he did recognise
him distinctly ; they entered into conversa
tion, and deceased undertook to explain why
be should not be accused of committing an
act cf that kind ; remarked that he had lived
an upright man for forty-five years, and bad
prubably given away more money than Col. L.
waa worth, and asked what motives be could
have in picking bis pocket also, if be still
reiterated bis charge : Col Lee answered that
be did reiterate bis charge ; they stood facing
each other at that time ; deceased bad a black
cane, with a ben handle, in bis hand (a cane
was identified by witness as tbe one ;) de-
ciple of rem, justice, and sound policy. If
North Carolina l bound to allow the propos
ed connection, than she bas devolved upon
herself, so far as in ernal improvements is
concerned, the duty of aJf-destroction, and
is bound to furnish the dagger that is to stab
her to tbe heart. Tbe people along the line of
tbe proposed rai'wav, 11 is true, are not in
such a favorable oondition as those cf some
counties in reference to marketing facilities.
but they are not in a very bad coiiditio.
Some of them are convenient to tLe North
m b w w . a
Carolina xiauroaa, a a outers not remote
from tbe Richmond and Danville road. At
all events, they labor under no evils suffi
ciently great to warrant us in inSicting a
deep and vital wound upon tbe best interests
cf the State, in order to relieve them. . In
the nature of things, it is not to be expected
tbat tberteam-wbutle u to be beard in every
neighborhood withio our borders. Railroads
are immensely beneficial, but they are also
very extensive, and tbey cannot exist teo
thickly together. They cannot bear such
ruinous competition. To build them up at
an expense of millions, and then break them
down again, is anything else but a vise
and prudent policy-. any thing e'se bat jus
tice to our people wno use them, or to the
private capitalists who have subscribed for
tbeir stock.
It bas been said tbat the North Carolina
Railroad, by tbe proposed connection, will
gain enough in the increased number of pas
sengers between Charlotte and Greensboro,
'to make un for her losses between Greens.

Mr. Stanton replied that the House could judge
of tbat
The resolution of Mr. Purviance was rejected
yeas 82, niys 100.
Mr. Gilbert then rose to speak, and the mem
bers gathered in fwt of him- j
Mr. Gilbert remarked that be rose with an un
usual degree of emotion, but he felt in his own
oofCjienee tbat be was not condemned Al
though be bad been placed thus before this as
semblage, and b's name spread broadcast over
tbe hvod, be was convinced of his own innocence.
Us stood here void of offence. The volume of
testimony regarding himself had be commented
on by others, and he could add no weight to what
bad been aaid.
He wou'd submit it to gentlemen, men of in
telligence and lawyers, whether, on such evi
dence, they aitting as a jury, would enforce judg
ment in a nvil suit for tweaty-fi ve dollars ? On
that testimony he had been arraigned and serious
charges perferrsd against him, which, if true,
mould affix upon hi nam an enduring stigma.
His position in Ufa wps wsll known, and he chal
lenged any man to say aught against his pers nal
or offici U conduct. If any member of this body
felt that ke bad been injured by associating with
bim, let bim rise and say so.
He had answered to the allegation sitb perfect
confidence that bis statement made under oath
would receive soms dcgTei of credit. He refer
red to matters connected with this case, to show
that it had not been hu intention or desire to
delay the a tion of the committee. Aud he al
luded to the confidence reposed iu bim by his
constituency. If he bad been that corrupt, and
obnoxious man represented, very likely it would
be known where be was best known. Forty
years had he lived, and until the present never
bad such a charge been laid at bis door.
He did not fear the result. Tnose dearest to
him had said, sustain your dignity, let tbe result
be as it may ; do no mean act ; and if yur pur
suers follow you there, your friends will take
care of you at horns. He had two daughter j
growing up, and if be was alone in the world
he should feel as free aa air; but he knew his
responsibility, and this attempt to fax a stigma
on bis good name was unprecedented. He charg
ed the Houne with gross injustice towards him,
his family, friends, constituents and the world
in depriving bim of a fair bearing. He feit con
fident that on trial he would come out uusciith
ed. j
There was history connected with Mr. Sweeny
yet secret Mr. Sweeny has been home siuce he
testified. He has been associated with men who
have used bim as their tool, according to bis
(Mr. Gilbert') honest belief, and be thought lie
could he sustained. There are men high ia autho
rity who dare not cross Mr. Sweeny's track. ! If
the House had gone into a trial, some astonish
ing developements would have been made. He
was prepared, if a trial bad been accorded, to
vindicate Linne'f.
Mr. Gilbert here seat up a paper, which was
read, fcthtin tbat the committee bad refused him
a lair uearm :t!j- naU reported garbled exports
testimony, with a vio v to convict him ; and con
cluding by saying that from this moment he bas
resigned his rest as a member of this lIoii!e, and
that he has notified the Governor of New York
of the fact.
The House was evidently taken by surprise at
this announcement. Mr. Gilbert immediately
left his seat
The resolutions of the committee in the case of
Mr. Gilbert were then laid on the table by a v te
of yeas 135, nays 68.
Mr. Morgan sent up a letter from Mr. Matto
acn, addressed to tbe speaker, to tbe eff ct thst
he had, under a resolution previously a lopted,
filed bis reasons for refusing to submit to tbe usur
pation of tbe committee. As a trial had been
deoed Mr. Gilbert, be bad no right to expect
any larger measure of justice would be accorded
him A secret inquisition, without warrant or
or auth rity, had taken testimony a;ainbt bim,
without bis knowledge, nd on that had invoked
the House to punish him to tbe greatest exLmt
it could inflict.
It was too plain that neither the rights of his
constituents nor bis own could e longer secure
or respected. Therefore he deemed it to be his
duty forthwith to resign aa a member of this
House
Mr. Bennett, of N Y., moved to Uble the
committee's resolution respecting Mr. Ma'tefou.
Tbe qaestion was decided in tbe negative
yeas 95, nays 102.
Mr. Benoett, cf N. Y., raised a point of order
that, Mr. Matteson having resigned, it was net
competent to proceed further upon the subject.
'lve Chair overruled tbe objection and waa sus
tained by the House.
Mr. Warner then proceeded to show that Mr.
Matteson, notwithstanding his denial that he
bas committed any offense, had offended against
the moral standard, and was obnoxious to the
severest condemn nation.
Tbe Hjuse again refused to lay the resolution
upon tbe table.
ihe question waa tbeu taken on tbe first reso
lution, condemning Mr. Matteson for inciting
parties, deeply interested, to use corrupt means
for procuring tbe passage of Des Moines Railroad
bill, etc., and it was adopted. Years 145, nays
17.
Tie other resolutions were then read : That
O. B.Matteson, by declaring that members had
associated and pledged themselves not to voU
for any law or resolution unless they wee paid
for it, etc., hsd willfully defamed tbe members of
the House, and bad proved himself un worth v to
be a member thereof ; and that tbe said Matteson
be forthwith expelled.
air. luon moved that these resolutions be laid
upon the table ; but the motion did not prevail :
Yeaa 75, nays 99.
Tbe second resolution was then adopted, and
tbe last (for tbe expulsion of Mr. Matteson) was

Tbe House adopted resolutions as a substitute

aud here be displayed a nerve, not only in com-'
pelHng his own men to fight, but in charging
the foe, that was unsurpassed in tbe war. The
enemy were routed and a large number of prison
ers taken, among whom were Generals Torrvjou

wounded by Dr. Kane himself, aud the chivalry
of the youug conqueror was now displayed in
giving the wounded man the benefit of his sur

instantly interfered, ulaced himself between bis
escort and the prisoners, and threatened to shoot

Domiuguez became furi us, and ordered his men

WONDKKFUL. IP TRCK.
A small Paris journal, 'called Lee Gontemporahis,
has just published a mot strange account, signed
' Henri rage, of an aerostatic excursion, which
the urtiCie aeclares has' solved tb long cau.v'assed
problem of directing baiioons. The persons who
are stated to hive inadtf the excursi ri are tlie
Count de Pleuvier, M. Gavarni, M. Migeoa, Mr.
Falconer, an English ?uronaut, ami M. finri
Page, the writer. Tiie .:pparaus use ? is staied
to have cost SOO.OOOf , the greater portion of
which was fnrnUhed by Count de Pleuvier. Tiie
machine is represented s consisting of two bal
loons united together, ot a spherics' form, able
to centain each 100 cubes of pure hydrogen una.
Te directing power is a modified screw com
municating wfth the car, and a rudder, made
principally of whalebone, to change the direction
wnen required. Al. G-avarm, the inventor, it is
declared, can obtain tbe upward ascent of the
balloon without throwing out ballast, which
Vstem soou exhausts the resources of th very
best cn'ructed balloon, and becomes an invinci
ble obstacle to long excursions in the air Tbe
loss of bydrogeb is instantaneously repaired by a
chemical proceeding of which M. M'geon is stated
t() possess tbe secret, and by a little apparatus of
communication, also invented by M. Gavarni.
The departure of the eronaufs on tb ocfasion
referred to tooKjlace '-n the 15th of January, at
ten in tbe morning, from the park of Ferrieres,
in the bologne, and the next morning at live the
jer'al travellers effected a safe dcents within
balf a mile "of Algiers. "We received," says
the account, tbe most touching hospitality.
Tbe inhabitants wanted to carry us iu triumph,
but we declined tlie honor, and as soon as we
could, went to take some repose,1 leaving our
asrostatic apparatus under the guardianship of
a file of 2niaves. Marshal Kandon deigned to
congratulate uf, and pressed the hand of M.
Gavarni with the utmost warmth. We remain
ed on the , African . soil only 30 hours, and
left at noon tbe day after our arrival, in sight of.
an immense multitude who bad assembled to see
us ascend from the Mole." Our return w.ts effect
ed without the slighest incident, but with much
greater rapidity At half-past four the n xt
morning wealigbtedat the poinf from which we
started, in the park of Count de Pleuvier."
The Bcboeu. TnAUi:ir. Another Rumor
Eckel's Brother Insane There are fresh ' umors
in relation to the Burdell murder, but probably
thev deserve little attention.! The Herald pro
mulgates the following, but does not vouch for
its truth : ,
It seems that At 11 o'clock on the night of th';
31st. r f January-, a man was passing through
Bond street, on his ay to the.Bowe-y, when b:s
attention was attracted to the door of the house
No 31 opening .suddenly, and in tbe darkened
hallway he saw the figures of two persous, a
man and woman: coming forward to the door
step. On secinv him the couple started and
shut the door hastily. This awakened the 8 us
pici'ins of thu passer-by, and be very naturally
enme bi tlie conclusion that they were bad
thieves, and this 'uspicion w.-s confirmed in his
mind bv noticing that thn woman hold in her
hand a bundle,'' apparently of clo'hes tightlv
bound. Had tbev pass-nl out of tlie .houne
h? would sot$ nave uoticetl them, but their
"tarting back was what a-vakened his suspicions.
Not seei'ig, any policeman- he gave no alarm,
but walked ou to the corner of the Bowery,
where. he concealed himself t' see if the parties
would a;ain venture out." In a few monifnts
he descried the inan and, woman, the lattT still
wifh the bundle in her hand, walking Up
wards him. They crossed the Bowery with
out seeing Mm, anil p-ssei into ue i.f the
stretii that led down to tbe T'aat river. '
Tiie movements of the pair were so mysterious
that the curio-8?- of their unvecn watcher win
keenly excited, and ' be determined to folI-w
them up leel'tig a strange interest in all they di 1.
Tho night was dark and cloudy, but be succeeded
in keeping the mysterious couple in view with
out himself being seen. They kept steadily oh
tbeir course until they came to the river's edge,
where tley wa-ked "lit to the end of the pier, and,
i. is supposed by the persoD, threw the bundle
into the stream; as he did not notice it in the
woman's-hand-when tliey returned from the!
pier
The witness to he above movements is sid to
be a p'xir man, and did not appear at the coro
ner's i q'je-'t for fear of being imprisoned. :
If is stat'd that a brother ,of Eckel, residing
at Mount Pleasant, Hunterdon county, New Jer
sey, ha been so affected in his mind by the late
finding of tb? grand jury, that it will probably
be necessary to remove hira to the lunatic asylum.
