Adverting to the riirht of the proposed agent to emidoy counsel, Mr. R. suggested that the direct employment of counsel when needed would be cheap er and better, as North Carolina would have but few claims to prosecute for years to come, and her people should not be taxed to further the collection of individual claims. State agents at Wash ington were needed by Northern and western Mates to collect bounties. pensions and other claims of soldiers thein widows and orphans. How many soldiers, he asked, from North-Carolina would get pensions from tho Federal Government without an agent. There had been during the Provisional Govern ment such an agen y at Washington, which had doubtless done much for the relief of our jeople, but he deeped there was no necessity for its continuance. or else the Governor would have recom mended it. Cameron said that the majority of! the committee thought the creation of this office would be materially beneficial to the State, lie had an interview with the Assistant Postmaster General and others conversant with such matter. who confirmed the opinion of the com mittee as to the advisability of having an agent at Washington, acquainted with tho President and heads of departments and their modes of transacting business.
