TAItltOUOIJOH :
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1S50.
0r Post Office.
The Raleigh Times has noticed our arti
clc respecting the recent removal of Mr.
Redmond, as Postmaster of this place
p.'.ul, as is too frequently the case with
whig politicians, has failed to state to its
leaders the "whole truth" of the matter.
It says
"Mr. Moore held .he office a few months
in 1841-2, but was removed under Ty
ler's administration, to make room for
Mr. Redmond The re-instatcmcnt of
Mr. Moore, therefore, is an act of justice,
iiat sort of justice which wo hope to
see awarded in every case of the kind "
ihe whole truth was stated by us as
follows
Mr. Redmond has performed the duties
of postmaster promptly and acceptably
for the last 14 years, with the exception
ofa few months in 1811-2, when he was
superceded by Mr. Moore, through the in
strumentality of Mr. Stanly, then Repre
sentative in Congress from this District.
in a few davs we will be perhaps ena
bh d to lay before our readers a sketch of
the principal acts passed.
Onthe21lh ult. another proposition
looking to the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, was made in the
House by Mr. Preston King. The vote
was, aves fifty twy nays one hundred
and nine seventy-two members absent
or not voting.
From the Raleigh Standard.
Congress seems determined to give
away as much of thepublic domain as tho
new States may claim, for Rail Road and
other purposes In the Mouse, on the
17th instant, the Senate bill granting the
right of way, and making a grant of land
to the States of Illinois, Mississippi, nnd
Alabama, to aid in the construction ofa
Rail Road from Chicago to Mobile, was
passed by 101 to 75. Mr. Venable mov
ed to lay the bill on the table, which was
lost, yeas 70, nays 98.
How they Voted. On the Bundclcund
report, Mr. Stanly voted alone, and all
his colleagues against, him. Qr the Tex
as boundary bill, Messrs. Caldwell, De
berry. Outlaw, Shepherd, and Stanly, vo
ted for it, and Messrs. Ashe, Clingman,
Daniel and Venable against it. To admit
California, Messrs. Caldwell and Stanly
voted yea, and Messrs Ashe, Clingman,
Outlaw, Danii 1, Shepherd, and Venable
Muzzling the Press-. A committee
was appointed some time ago by tho I louse
of Representatives, to ascertain "what per
sons holding office under the late admin
istration, had contributed moncv o de
niable mcns motives are to be misconstru
ed, we have refrained from saying much
on the subject. Having, however, so of
ten seen valuable property sacrificed
through the defects of the present system,
we have laid asidour diffidence and call
now upon the press of the State to take
this matter in hand, and force it upon the
minds of the members elect to the next

valuable property is to be sold, to stick it
up at some corner, crossroads, or grocery
door, two or three notices, written gener
ally in a style that would puzzle a Phila
delphia Lawyer to decipher their contents,
giving information ofa sale. One half
who see these notices arc unable to read
them, and five sixths of those who feel an
interest in such sales never sec them. And
hence we conclude that it would be a vast
benefit to all parties to have such sales ad
vertized a few weeks in some newspaper,
where they could be read by all the world
and the rest of mankind! Such is the law
in every state of the Union, except Vir
ginia and North Carolina.

tiser of Saturday last says:
The mail failed last evening beyond
Charleston, making the thirteenth failure
for the first thirteen days of this month,
south of New York. 13 y inquiry at the
office, our obliging po&lmastcr informs us
that there have been one hundred and one

thus averaging nearly a failure every oth

This failure was owing entirely to the

A. It may be a difficulty with those
thai wish to heap burdens on the people;
bin is io ihe N. C. Rail Road, there is no
difficiltv m the way, because the charter
gra .t.s a perpetuity and is unconstitution
al, therefore it ought to be repealed by
the next Legislature, and the question of
ro d or no road voted on at the ballot box
by the people. We wish the Legislature
to do .js justice, to look into tbe solvency
of ihe. subscription list, and see that the
cash s all paid in that thc charter re
quires before the State pays a dollar. It
requires the cash, not the promise'of labor
to bt done. FARMER.

Things that Should be Done. -The
j next Legislature should pass a law requir
ing all the Sheriffs and other officers to
advertise in some newspaper in the coun
ty where the sale takes place, all property
levied upon by execution or otherwise, as
well as all land sold for Taxes The pres
ent law requiring lands sold for Taxes to
be advertised in a paper at Raleigh, though
the land may lie in Cherokee, is an out
rage against common sense. No officer
should be allowed to sell valuable proper
ty, either real or personal, without first
giving notice ol the same through the
newspapers of the county, or through the
nearest print. The reasons for this are too
obvious to require them to be pointed out.
We have long thought of calling public
attention lo this matter, and if we had not
been connected with tbe press, would have
j lone so years ago. But knowing how
ill for travelling afoot during the very
warm weather which prevailed at the
time, and consequently seemed in no hur

at another, and from the good cheer he
received seemed to fatten every day, un
til one morning lo! and behold! there was
heard in the room in which he slept the
crv ofa newly born infant, and upon eX
animation of the premises there it was
sure enough, alive and kicking, in the bed
with the big fat man. Now how this
phenomenon happened we don't pretend
to say. We simply stale the fact as We
heard it, and leave the elucidation to those
more skilled in natural history. Unless
there be some well founded doubt raised
as lo the gender of the big fat man. we
fear the mystery will still remain unac
counted for. To explain the captio; at
the head of this article however we would
state that the individual called himself (?)
