Mr "Watson, from the Committee ou Proposi tions aud Grievcnces, reported back the bill to '. emancipate James Langlord, a slave, and re commended its passage. . Mr. Brogden introduced the following pream-. ble and resolution : Whereas, It is well known that the induce ments which were held out to the eastern part of the State, and which alone secured the pas- , sae of the act chartering the North Carolina Rail Koad Comnanv. and the subscription of the stock that secured its eharter ana cancoueu much dissatisfaction on account of said Road, were that it was to unite the eastern and west ern people in interest and affection by their trade and intercourse, and thus assist to build up important Seaboard cities with markets in , H i North Carolina, thus giving her that commcr- ber, and that, therefore, the opinion could not cial and political importance to which she is j be given in time for any action to be had upon properly entitled, among her sister States of jit by this Legislature." He then renewed the this Union; motion to lay upou the table ; which motion was These and other important considerations en decided in the affirmative yeas M4, nays 23. title the people and their representatives to be On motion of Mr. Saunders, the House rc informcd'whether said Road is being built in j solved itself into Committee of the Whole, Mr. such a manner as will carry out, in good faith, j Cherry in the Chair, and took up the bill in rela the great object and intention of the charter ; tion to the Superior and County Courts the aforesaid. Therefore, J Question pendiiv was on the amendment of- Hc-toiccd, that the President ana 1'irectors of said North Carolina Rail Road Company be requested to inform the Senate, witli as little delay as possible, whether the Raleigh Depot of said Road has bc-cn located on the extreme wes tern limits of said city ; and if so, whether such location wastheactof a full board orof one of the members thereof only ; how many acres of land have been purchased there for said site and at what cost ; what is the exact elevation of said site above grade, and what will it cost to reduce it to grade ; whether John Buffaloe, of the city of Raleigh, did not, before the said location was made, offer to one or more members of said Board to make a present of six acres of land as a site for said Depot, on the South-side of Ra leigh, just in the rear of the Government House garden, and immediately on the track of said Road ? and does not one of the stakes of said track, on the sideof the Favetteville road marked "grade," show that saiii six acres were very nearlv at grade, and required only a small ex pense" to fit it for said Depot ; whether William Ashley did not also offer to 6aid Board or some of its members, a site for said Depot on his un improved lots on the South-side of the southern boundary street, of the said city, near Governor Manly's garden, and on the line of said Road, or very near it ; and whether the survey of said Road does not show, that said site was at grade or nearly so, and would have cost but very lit-tle-to grade it and add land enough for all the necessary purposes of a Depot at that place. Ana they are turtner requested to liuorui me Senate why these advantageous offers of sites for said De pot, and where fairness and justice to the eastern part of the State required it should be located, were rejected, and a more expensive I one selected, and at a spot that will intercept and favor the turning away from our own Sea- - - . . x. .. . 1 ...1 . 1, , s . .,. , f ,,.. ! trade, before it even fairly reaches as far South as Raleigh. The resolution having been read, Mr. Steele said he was at a loss to understand what was to be gained by the adoption of this series of abstract questions. He was aware that the Senator from Wayne was considered as being a very practical man, and very much the friend of Internal Improvements, especially if it were calculated to benefit his own county, but what, under the sun, had the Legislature of North Carolina to do with the private trans actions of individuals ? Of what consequence was it to the General Assembly to know what Mr. John Buffaloe said, or what Mr. John Smith did? Sir, continued Mr. Steele, it is totally futile and idle. Who cares anything about it? Whv not enquire, also, whether the individual named has any land to give, or ever had ? The enquiry would be as interesting and equally pertinent as auy of the queries contained in the resolution. j As to the situation of the Depot, or Dc-x(, as ! the gentleman seems to prefer to call it (and I I am willing that he should please himself so far ' as pronunciation is concerned,) the Company, 1 . apprehend, have a right to arrange such mat- j tcrs for themselves. But, suppose you get all ' this information of what value is it ? I do ' not see any good to be accomplished by it. The only effect to be produced by the introduction of such a resolution here is to create a ground less dissatisfaction in the eastern part of the State, which no patriotic man ought to be wil ling to do. Mr. Woodfin. I do not believe, sir, that any good will result from the adoption of this reso lution : if it be in order, therefore, I w ill move that it le referred to the people. The Speaker. To what Committee docs the gentleman propose to refer it ? Mr. Woodfin. To the people, sir. The Speaker. It is not in order. Mr. W oodlin. Very well, then ; I will with draw the motion. The question being on the adoption of the resolution, it was, by yeas 13, navs 27, rejec ted. Mr. Kelly introduced a bill to extend the right of appeal, prevent the unnecessary accu mulation of costs, expedite justice, and lor oth er purposes. The bill w as read a first time and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The resignation of II. Dorrell, a Justice of the Peace of Randolph county, was received, read and accepted.

The bill to incorporate Cumberland Academy, in the county of Cumberland, was read a second time and amended, and, on motion, read a third time and passed. Mr. Withers moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill for the establishment of Sevier county was rejected. It was reconsidered, and on motion of Mr. Bower, the bill was laid upon the table. On motion, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Tucrsday, Nov. 18, 18o2.

Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, presented a joint resolution, respectfully requesting the Judges of the Supreme Court to enquire and inform the Legislature, whether the act authorizing the School Fund to be distributed among the several Counties in the State, is constitutional or not. Mr. Saunders, of Wake, thought there was no difficulty on the subject. Mr. Caldwell said the opinion was entertain ed by many persons that the act was unconsti tutional ; and .a late decision in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, upon a case in point, tend ed to confirm the opinion, lie desired that this question should le settled, and the plan propos ed by the resolution would be expeditious and satisfactory - Mr. Spruill opposed the resolution as unnc- j eessary and inexpedient, and moved that it be ' laid upon the table. At the request of Mr. : Reid, of Duplin, he withdrew the motion, j Mr. Reid remarked that the Supreme Court would not be in Session until the last of Decein- fered by Mr. Long, of Randolph, to strike out that part of the hill winch provides lor uiree judicial districts. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Puryear then offered an amendment, pro posing to6trikc out all after the word bill, and inserting a substitute to provide for establishing an additional circuit. I' pon this question, a debate of some length ensued, in which the amendment and the pro visions of the original bill were discussed. Messrs. Puryear, Long, of Randolph, Dobson, and Hill, of Caswell, spoke in favor of the amend ment, and in opposition to the original bill ; and Messrs. Caldwell, of Guilford. Baxter, Turner, of Orange, and Hill, of Duplin, advocated the original bill. Mr. Strange moved that tl ic Committee rise, report progress and ask leave to sit again, lie stated that his object was to facilitate business. The Senate, he understood, had already ad journed for the want of business, and bethought it would bo well for the House to act upon the bills on its table, that they might be sent to the Senate. At the request of gentlemen, the mo tion was withdrawn. Mr. Baxter then briefly answered the argu ments in opposition to the bill, to which Mr. Hill, of Caswell, replied. After which, Mr. Strange renewed his motion ; and the Commit tee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.

It was a matter of complaint in all the counties in which he practised, lie said that the bill did not provide for indicting the free negro, but the person who sold the spirits to him. Mr. McNeill replied by saying that the law ; now prohibits free negroes "from soiling spir- ' its ; and he did not believe that the bill would i animcr the purpose for which it was intended Mr. Dortch again roso. He said that he did not believe that under this bill a physician could be indicted for selling a free negro ardent spir its as medicine, lie stated that the Judiciary Committee were unanimous in recommending the passage of the bill.

The bill then passed its third reading. Mr. Avery moved that a message be sent to the Senate, proposing to go into the election of a Senator at 1U o'clock to day. Mr. Cherry said he could see no reason for hurrying this election, and moved to lay the motion upon the table. Mr. Avery said that the motion was not made with any disposition to take advantage, and if not acceptable to gentlemen, he would withdraw it. It was accordingly withdrawn. A message was received from the Governor, transmitting the Report of the Agent for the sale of Cherokee Lands, and the Report of the Commissioners to superintend the construction of the Western Turnpike Road ; which, without being read, were tent to the Senate with a pro position to print. Mr. Saunders, from the Select Committee, to which was referred the communication of Chief Justice RiifTin, reported the following Resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopted : lt'i'S('lcer1, uuuniiii'iitxlij, That the General As sembly receive:; reluctantly, and with deep re I gri t, the announcement that Thomas Ruffiu has j resigned his office of Chief Justice of the Su ! preine Court of this State. j Pit-sdvcil, vuaiiiini.iii.sii. That the pre eminent ! ability, profound learning, and unspotted integ i ritv, which mark his long career as a Magis- tnite, command the warmest acknowledgments of this (ieueral Assembly, the gratitude of the j People at large, and will ever be the ornament i and pride of administrative justice in North ! Carolina. J'c.)hJ, That the proceedings of the General ; Ass".nblv upon this resignation be signed by i the Speakers of both Houses, and transmitted ! to Chief Justice Puffin. The Speaker announced that the hour had arrived which had been set apart for taking up. THE oltoiiK OF THE DA V. ; The House then proceeded to the eonsidera ! tion of the bill to amend the Constitution of the State -the Free Suffrage bill. Mr. lloleman otferred an amendment, provi ding that no man who has been convicted of any infamous crime -shall bo entitled to vote for a member of the Senate. Mr. Avery raised a point of order on its re ception : whereupon the Speaker decided, that it would not be in order to amend the bill, as it passed last session, though the part making the provisions for submitting it to the people might !e amended. Upon this decision Mr. lloleman took an appeal to the House, and the decision of the Speaker was sustained. Mr. lloleman then addressed the House in opposition to the bill. He contended that the principle upon which the bill was supported was wrong. that the same reason could be urged for requiring all men to pay an equal amount of tax that is urged for giving them a right to vote in the Senate, viz : that where the privi leges are equal, the burdens should be equal. Mr. H. went into an argument to show, that if the purpose of the friends of the bill had been to bring ;ljut a collision between the rich and the poor, no better course could have been pur sued. He remarked, that if the agitators of this bill w ould stop the agitation, he shoulernot I object to it ; but this was only the beginning. j The Governor, in his late message, had recom mended two other amendments. Tho election of Judges by the people would keep up the agi tation for six years and w hen that is accom plished, there would be others to follow it. This property qualification runs through our in stitutions, and is not peculiar in its application to the electors for a Senator. A Sheriff must own land ; and sj with the Governor, with a Ju ror, and even a Judge iu an election for Con stable -and these were matters regulated by law. Why had not gentlemen undertaken to make a change in these particulars ? Did the possession of property better qualify men for these offices? Mr. II. used the arguments offer ed by the gentleman from Caswell, (Mr. Hill,) a few days before, against a reform in the laws, as more applicable upon a question of amend ing the constitution. If a change is to be de precated upon a matter which can be regulated once in two years, how much more in this case, lie alluded to an expression in the Standard, in reference to this question, and said, that per sons might say to him that a thing oujht to be done, but when they say it "shall'' bo done, he was disposed to be rebellious. Mr. II. said he was opposed to this mode ot "mending he con stitution. 11" the people desire to have it amen ded, he preferred that it should be done by a Convention. Mr. Cherry followed Mr. II. at some length in opposition to the bill, lie said ho entirely concurred in what had beeu said by his friend from Person that he had preseuted the objec tions clearly and distinctly iu a nut shell. Mr. C. said he was opposed to any change in the Constitution, even to the crossing of a t, or the dotting of an i that he believed it to be the best written charter of liberty on the earth. He warned his eastern friends against this bill as a gilded bait; and if taken, they might find that they hadthe hook iu their mouth. He didnut be lieve the eastern peopledesiredthischangeinthe constitution, and when it weresubmitttcd to them, he thought gentlenicu would be astonished at the unanimity with which it would be rejected. But if the Constitution is to be amended, his ex perience during three sessions had satisfied him that the Legislature was the last place in the world to do it for the amendments will be lugged in with party questions and local mat-1 ters. Mr. C. concluded with an earnest pro- test, in the name of the people of his county, against any change in the Constitution. j Mr. Dargan addressed the House in opposi- i tion to the bill. He was opposed to free Suf frage on principle ; but in addition to that, he ' w as opposed to making amendments to the con- ! stitution by the Legislature. Mr. D. said he i had always been in favor of electing Judges by ' the people. He concluded with some remarks ' upon the peculiar excellence of the present con- ' stitution, and maintained that no man had ev-: er suffered wrong under it. j Mr. Saunders, of Wake, spoke at considera ble length in support of the bill. He maintain- i ed that those w ho pay tho tax that entitles a ' county to a Senator, ought to be permitted to vote for the Senator ; and upon this point gave several illustrations to prove that non-landhol- ! dcrs iu many counties pay the greater part of the tax as iu Wake and New Hanover. Mr. j S. replied to the arguments of Mr. lloleman ; ' and concluded by saying that though he con- j sidered himself as much of a conservative as ! any other gentleman, he looked upon this free- hold qualification as a stigma upon the State, ' and ho desired to see it blotted out. j Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, followed Mr. SannO' ders, and spoke at length in opposition to the ! mode of amending the constitution by Legisla tive enactment. When Mr. C. had concluded, Mr. Leach mov ed that the bill be postponed until Tuesday next; but the motion did not prevail. Tbo question was then taken on the passage j Mr. Washington, from the Committee on Ldu of the bill on its second reading, which resulted cation and the Literary Fund, reported back the as follows : I hill to amend an act to incorporate Union Insti- Yeas Messrs.

The bill to coniirm grants issued for bounty lands, for the use of the iron works in this State, was read a second time. The Committee on the Judiciary having re commended its rejection, Mr. Lillington said he supposed it was scarce ly necessary to state the reason for the recom mendation on the part of the Committee, that this bill be rejected. It was within the knowl edge of Senators and he would refer particu larly to the Scuator from Ashe, as being ac quainted with the fact that some of the great est frauds ever perpetrated upon this Govern ment, had been committed under tho act of the General Assembly authorising these grants. Large tracts of land had been, bv the connivance I of the surveyors under fraudulent boundaries taken possession of for the ostensible purpose of aiuiug mese iron worsts, in iurnisning luej. Jcc. and in numerous cases suits had been instituted in the Courts to vacate the claims thus fraudu lently sot up. The purpose of the bill was to make these claims valid ; and the Committee re commended its rejection. He hoped the report ! r 11 l. i.

Ihe but to repeal an act to prevent the ob struction of the passage of Fish at the inlets on the sea coast of the State, was read a second time, and, on motion of Air.

The bill to incorporate the Bank of Charlotte was read a second time, and on motion of Mr Caldwell, was made the special order of the day for 12 o'clock on Monday. J I The bill to amend an act to nrovide. ing a record ol marriages g a record of marriages in this State, was read a second, time and rejected tute in Randolph County, a JNormal School, with sundry amendments, and recommended, its passazc. On motion of Mr. Kelly, the Senate took up the bill concerning public roads, ferries and bridges, in the County of Bladen. The bill was read a second time. Mr. Kelly said, he desired to remark in refer ence to this bill, that he understood it bad been originally introduced into the other branch of the General Assembly, by the member from Bladen, as a general law, "and referred to the appropriate Committee ; aud that tho bill now before the Senate was reported by that Com mittee. It the people of the County ot liiaden were desirous of having a law of this kind, ap plicable to that County, ho saw no reason why it should not be granted to them. If it were proposed that the law should be general in its application, he would be averse to it himself, but he did not think thero could be any objec tion to a special enactment of this kind, as he understood its provisions had been made the subject of enquiry and examiniftion by the peo ple of that County, and had met their approba tion. Mr. Caldwell said he was not only averse to private or special legislation, but he was oppo sed to making the distinction proposed to bo made by this bill, between the white and the slave population. If a special bill of this kind were passed, it might reasonably be expected that within a very few years it would lead to the enactment of a general law ; and it would cre ate a prejudice agaiust our slave population probably, it would be difficult if not impossible to check. Mr. Kelly said it is right that every Senator should explain his views in regard to the prin ciple embraced in any bill, whether of a public or a private nature ; but I cannot agree with the Senator from Mecklenburg, that there is any reason to suppose that if we pass this bill, iu a few years we shall pass a general law of a simi lar character. I think that will depend upon whether it proves acceptable. If Bladen adopts a law for herself which is not proper, surely the other Counties' of tho State will not follow tho example which they believe to bo a bad one. But the Senator said further, as a reason why he was opposed to the passage of this bill, that he was opposed to any law that draws adistine- tion between the white population and the black Why, Sir, the law of North Carolina now draws a distinction. It is very well known that, a the law now stands, a black man of the age of six teen years is required to labor upon the public road, while a white man is not required to do so until he is eighteen. The very distinction the gentleman complains of exists now. And this is only a proposition to apply the distinc I tion to Bladen, for some reason best known to the people of that County. So long, Sir, as there is j nothing that is really objectionable in the law, j i I car. see io reason why thejeople of the Couu- i ty of Bladen should not be gratified by its pas- I sagi'. Mr. Washington said he did not rise to dis cuss the merits of the bill, but to make an en quiry. He desired to know whether the Sena- I tor from that District, Mr. McDowell, was in favor of the bill. If so he could see no obice- ! tion to passing it, and so far as he was concern- : tllK,; au u;lU1 neiore entering upon their duties, ed, he would vote for it. ' anu passed. It is due to Mr. Wheeler to state, Mr. McDowell said he would state in reply to I wn;lt was inadvertently omitted at the time, the enquiry made by the Senator from Craven, I tliat tlie ils now passed is the substitute of that he was opposed to all such clap trap and ! foro' '' a an amendment to the orig- humbug. lie had received no petition or me- j lnaf hill. morial from his constituents asking for the pas- .Tlle lj'U to incorporate the Bank of Yaucey- sage of such a law, and he was opposed to it, because it did make the distinction referred to by the Senator from Mecklenburg between slave i holders and non-slavchohUrs : and for his part he should not vote one way or the other. I Mr. Gilmer said that in regard to the ohjec- i tion urged agaiust this bill, on the ground of its j creating a distinction, he certainly was not dis- ' I posed to attach much weight to that objection ; i j but he had within his own knowledge this evi- j I dencc id' the ill effects of sending out youths to j I these public road makings. As a practitioner i at the bar, he had had more cases of assault and I battery arising from the treats given to boys on I the davs called road-makintr days, than from any ! other cause, lie w as not in favor of requiring any one to work on the road before the age of twenty one. But this was entirely for the con sideration of the people of the County of Bladen ; and he had been informed by a gentleman re presenting that county, that the matter had been cauvassed and discussed within the Count-, and was well known to be anxiously desired by the inhabitants of the County. He thought there fore their wishes should be acceded to. The question being ou ordering the bill to a t:.ird reading, it was, upon a division, bv aves 1, navs 2i , decided in the negative. So the 1 -ti Ol I I was njected. ; On motion of Mr. McCleese, it was J'rsolred, That the Committee on Military ; Affairs be instructed to enquire ami report what ' disposition has beeu made of the public Arms ! which have been apportioned off to the several ; counties. A message was received from the House of) Commons, accompanied by a communication ', from the Governor, transmitting the report of i the State Agent for the Cherokee Bonds, &c, I and the report of the Commissioners of the ' Western Turnpike Koad, with a proposition to j print the same ; which was concurred in. Also, a message transmitting the report of the State Treasurer, w ith a proposition that the same be printed ; w hich was agreed to. Mr. Mitchell introduced a bill to ensure great er certainty in the lists of tn-cuLlo nr.ii...rrr The bill was read a first time and referred to ' the Committee on Finance. -K'ynne 1L.

Saunders, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported the bill to amend the 10th section of the 34th chapter uf the Revised Statutes, concerning Crimes and Dunishnients with an amendment, and recommeuded its na sage. . ' s Pending the consideration of which, tha Speaker announced that the hour had arrived for executing the joint order. Messrs. J. B. Bynum and lloleman were ap pointed on the part of the House to superintend the election, and the two Houses proceeded to vote for a U. S. Senator. Mr. Bynum, from the Committee appointed to superintend the election, submitted the re port as follows : 162 votes were cast ; 82 neces sary to a choice. Mr. Dobbin received 74 Mr Shepard 24 ; Mr. Saunders 22 ; Mr. Ravne'r 6 Mr. II. W. Miller 4 ; Mr. Graham 4 ; Mr'. Cline! man 3 ; Mr. Outlaw 3 ; others 22. No one having received a majority, there was no elec tion. The House then proceeded to consider tho Special Order, The bill to incorporate the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail Road Company. A memorial in behalf of the Road was read to the House. Mr. Saunders then addressed the ITohsp fA I one hour and a half or more in Kimn.t i. - "-"I VI LilU bnl. lie said the distance was estimated at 90 miles, and the eost of its construction would not exceed slOJOO per mile. He believed that SS,000 per mile would be sufficient. Individu als must take $300,000, according to his plan ; the counties on the line $300,000, for which they must issue bonds to be endorsed by the State; and the stockof the State in the Raleighand Gaston Road, $475,000, must be transferred to make up the remainder. Having discussed the merits of this plan with great ability, and shown the advantages to be derived from the work when completed, he next took up the subject of the Public Lands. lie said he was not dis posed to take back anything that he had said in reference to these lands on a former occasion. He had voted in 1843 to appropriate $100,000 for Nag's Head ; and though this was not e nough, it was admitting the principle, lie then referred to the platforms of the parties on the subject of Internal Improvements by the General Government, and was understood to say that he could endorse the Whig resolution with a little qualification. The two, he said, a mounted to about the same thing. For his sen timents on the subject, he could quote the author ity of Gen. Jackson ; and if he was read out uf the party, Gen. Jackson must be read out too. In relation to the Public Lands, he said he was prepared to go farther than he did the other day. He would resist every attempt to give these lands to actual settlers, and would go for' claiming our part ; and he would vote against any man either for a Senator or a Representa tive in Congress, who would not go for this. He then concluded with an earnest appeal in behalf of the bill. Pending the question on the passage of this bill A message was received from the Governor, transmitting the Report of Professor Emmons on the Agricultural and Mineralogical Survey; which, without being read, was sent to the Senale, with a proposition to print 3000 copies. The House then adjourned. RAIL ROAD CELEBRATION AT CHAR LOTTE. The celebration of the long hoped for comple tion of the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road came off on Thursday last. The ceremo nies were grand and imposing, indeed. Tho Chester train first arrived early in tho morning, with fifteen cars overflowing with passengers. An hour or two afterwards the Winnsboro train came with an immense numlx.r of passengers. And lastly, the Columbia train came with its hundreds or thousands, and by this time the yard of the depot and all the streets and allies of Charlotte were thronged by crowd of at least twenty thousand persons. The number has been variously estimated at from fifteen thousand to twenty-five; but persons, whose op portunisms have rendered them best caculated to judge of such assemblages, put down the uuinber at what we have stated. A large num ber of the fairest daughters of Western North Carolina and South Carolina favored the occa sion with their presence and beauty. The Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance and Cadets, head ed by a fine brass band of music from Columbia, marched in full regalia, at the head of the multi tude, who, after being welcomed in an eloquent and appropriate address by General Young, were invited by the Marshal of the day, Gen. John A. Young and his Assistants, Lieutenants i E. C. Davidson and James Bryan, to march to the front of the depot, where our friends from South Carolina were received by a short, hand some and eloquent address from J. W. Osborn, Esq., of Charlotte, in behalf of the citizens of North Carolina. lie was responded to by Mr. Palmer, Presidont of the Road, in a speech which did honor to his head and heart. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Gadsden, ex-President of the South Carolina Rail lioad, was loud ly called for by the crowd, lie appeared upon the stand and did full credit to the occasion, to his own State, and to his reputation. Judge Ellis was then called for, and entertained the crowd iu his usually felicitous stylo for somo Cademv lot where a large and siimptuousbar becue had been prepared, under the superinten dence of our townsman, Samuel Harris. By the time that this repast was devoured, the evening bean to grow late, and the crowd made their way as best they could, to their several quar- t'J' t ni,,ui we had a brilliant display of j . fire works at the depot, gotten up under tha skill and energy of our townsman, Dr. Asbury, i ;,-n.i j i ti .i;.ht f intstie toe " for seventy odd years, and it must ni(rl 80UrCe of .'ratification to our citiw BUSl OC citizens to ' know, that our guests all left us well pleased with the manner in wnicu me entertains was conducted, and with the general hospitality of Charlotte. It is true that a portion of tho delegation from Yorkville, for a time, entertain ed the belief that Mr. Osborn had overlooked them in his address of welcome. But nothing, could be more untrue; and we hope that they went away fully satisfied of this. His welcome. iva a otieriil one. and extended to llltj mi'"- - r . State of South Carolina.
