that we take great pleasure in correcting any stale-j
meat made by ua, tho reeult of miBlnformatlon we J
have no desire to present, vnaoceesarlly, the darker
abadesef the human character.
MtV V. 0. Jrra la the gentleman to whom
wo allude. He aaya : " that a pcraonal acquaintance
with moat of the Phyaiclana who made the post mor
teni examination, aa well aa the coroner and gentle
anea who compoaed the jury of Inquest, foHy author
too. hiss to ssy, that their high character for respec
UbIUty and Intelligence, and aa good citizens, for
blda the slightest suspicion of any auch collusion to
screen the guilty, or recognise ny such distinction
ia classes of the community, on which to base their
action, as that charged by the informant of the Com-
mereta!." He further aaya, " that in hia intercourse
with the community of Feyettcvillc, after the trans
action, he saw no disposition manifested to charge
the Phyeieiane or others with neglect in the dis
charge of the duties which devolved upon tliem.'
Thla statement will afford no little surprise to those
who derived the previous information from the same
source with the Editor of th Commercial, and who,
with him, conceived it to come in an unquestionable
and authentic aliape.
The conclusion is inevitable, however, that al
though the process of arriving at a decision by the
' fury was alow, there waa no criminal delay oil I heir j
part, or on that of any other peraon.
Wa assure the readers of the Commercial, that in
tho present instance we perform the most pleasant
part of our duty In thla painful case -bat they will
perceive. In the remarks made by us on Tuesday, the
(round we are determined to take in nil cases of this
auure rases that we hope may never occur. We
may observe, also, that the position we then look
relative to (he notions of certain email portions of

creditable, and In many Instances they would coin
pare most favorably wiili similar articles fiomany

Tho same paper aaya there were some specimens
of snother art exhibited, not contemplated in the
