I Bad Bnylfh -Th Stay Law. Ia oar present ism, we republish from the Charlotte Jkmotratin explanation and criticism f the Stay-Law recently psed by our Legislature. It is from the pen of member of the liar, and mir readers will Bo doubt gej a clearer idea of that law from its peruaal, than they would fiom reading the Act itself. It I greatly to b regretted that the Legislature in framing thia measure, which ia caruinly om of tho most imporunt ili.n baa engaged tho atleutioo of that body at ita present session, did not take ijiorc care to couch It in intelligible language Sue murderous onslaught upou the King n A-tJ . ii Anglian win not nuu any parallel in our legislative history, that we are aware of, unlets it were in the Stay-Law passed by the last General Assembly. Wo submit that auch a tissue of bungling tautology, obscurity, and grnmatieal aolocisaw, is dis creditable to the literary reputation of the State., Other document v.h'iehhnvtj em-t BBvrw: mm .a 1 a an men irom our present Legislature have shown that there art scholars in that body. Why do they allow such miserable speci mens of intricate and incomprehensible nonsense as this is, to disfigure and dia grace oar Statute Books Bat the evidence , which it affords, of the want of literary culture and taste of ita authors, is hut a minor matter. A much weigh la consideration is involved in it. This is a measure of the first importance. It intimately concerns tho every-day busi aeea of the common people. The admin istration of justice under it will necessarily fall, to a large extent, into tho hands ot plain men, who can readily understand straight-forward Anglo-Saxon, but who will be unable to comprcheud and properly con strue many of the obsure provisions of this Stay-Lay. The results will be much doubt about mutual rights, increased litigation, multiplied costs, and great irregularity and uncertainty in tho performance of common and, what ought to be, simple duties. Why could not the Lcgisl.u uro even yet resume the consideration of this important subject, and pass this measure in an im proved form 1 The substance and the general intent need not be changed. The Legislature understands its own Intention in the enactment of each provision contain ed in the Law. Nobody else ever can or will. Let that body then have it rc-draft- ed and re-enacted in such a shape that its intentions may distinctly appear, if our bumble voice could make itself heard, we would appeal to the General Assembly to do this. Such a step would receive the ipaaj-a looki. 111 It was so easy to grasp. KriHM the Kal.-iirh Sentinel. Tao Xfortb Carolina Rillroai.

So dull that the General has to cxdtu. h i mm 1 1 and try to excite the public mind, by publishing whnt he thinks of mo politically. 1 know be does it with the hope that I will retaliate, by publish ing what I think of him. I shall not grat ify bim. I will not publish. Whcu the General in l.60-"Gl turned Democrat and s coder, and again in ISGo tu him.

It will be of no sen-ice to the public, and gentlemen are not ant to be pleased with such exercise and exhibi tion of themselves, though the people do enjoy it hugely. Leaving the General to reflect at his leisure upon the necessity, utility or pro priety of hi personalities, I w ill proceed to notice that portion of bis communica tion not personal. The General says 1 am in error as to the history. of tbo Com pany, and I do the Stockholders great in justice- Again he says ".Mr. 1 umerehar- ges that the Stockholders some of whom were contractors swindled the State, lie misses the mark. 1 charged no such thing.

Direct Trade with Europe We are gratified io learn from the Nor folk papers that direct trade from that port to Liverpool is no louger a project .await ing! practical development, but a fait ac- contfli. The steamship Peruvian sailed from Norfolk on last Saturday morning with a full cargo of cotton, corn," tobacco, and other produce. The Delaware will shortly sail. She will also carry a com plete eargo, and will not be able to take all that is awaiting shipment. Thia, we hope, ia but the trickling rill of a commerce which wilbyet swell into a mighty river. This Is the true road to the independence of th( BiratK. The political oppression whieh our section suffers is nothing in com parison with the commercial enslavement under which wo have groaned for long ycWi,' le verily believe that if foreign trade bad been ijnuse equally distributed among the ports of our country, and the wealth which it brings had been ' realized in part by every section of the Union, in stead of swelling the coffers ot the North only, many of the causes Of sectional alien ation, such as partial legislation and op preasive tariffs, would never have existed, aud the Union never would have been dis solved. By working, therefore, for the building up of the commercial importance of the South, we shall not only be achiev ing power for ourselves, but will also aid iu restoring the balance, between the now unequal sections ?f tliu chnrry, " auX lay ing a basis for future harmony.

I meant to state what was well understood at the time the Road was a m . 1 a grauea, -that contractors were making their stock clear. 1 nave been contra me ted iu this by an anonymous corrc.pnnd ent of the Sentinel, as well as. by Gon Barriugcr. I always heard that Mr. Rich ard Ashe, Bennett Hazel, Ksq Mr.. Pan 0. Cameron, Me. Gilea Mebane, Turner and Jones, and others I could Jianie, made then stock clear. I never beard it denied until recently that every contractor ukl not do the same A large conn actor recently told me, he not only made bis stock but- money be sides. I now have reason to believe that a few contractors by reason of their bad management, did not make their stock clear. But this questkto was before the Su preme Court in 1&56. Chief Justice Pear son' '.In n did the Utockholders the same. uiHtiee or "nnustiee it you nlease. that 1 J J J M ' did. lii the case of Ashe agaliitft JohU- son's administrator, Judge Pearson in sec ond Jones' Lquity Keporte said aa fol lows : "For the purpose of inducing individu als to subscribe for the amount of stock, necessary to secure the charter, the gentle men, who felt the deepest ' Interest in the success of the enterprise, and to whose ex ert ions the North Carolina Railroad owes its existence, iu their-speechea and m con- a - A w a . 1-- 1 - TCTITlWr not ailt Tt rtoi l ierel venttons, wnich tliey procared lo meet, held ont the assurance that. the company. When organized, would take care to relieve the subscribers of their stock, by requir ing those who contracted to do work oti the road, to take stock in payment of one half of the amount of the price of their work The Company, at its first meeting, in structed the directors to carry into effect the assurance which had been held ont to the subscribers for stock and, in the lan guage of the Company, in iu answer, "the substance of these resolution, passed at different times and Convention, waa that u letting out the contracts, .the contract ors were to be required to take stock as far as it was practicable to get them to do so." lii pursuance of these in struct ions, the President aud directors, in the adver tisements for letting out contracts, made his stipulation ; the contractors receiving ill UHVilli'llt on thuir ciitiiMt &nr hfttT hi stock of the road, the other half in cash. He, the defendant, insists that it could not hare been the intention of his intestate to take the stock of the plaintiff off of bis hands at par, because, as be alleges, the stock was then greatly under par, and bis intestate, not being a professional contrac tor, did not desire -any greater contract than one estimated at double -the value of bin own stock. i V" . ' " It being a prevalent opinion at the time, tint a contractor with a. contract yielding amount ol his subscription. say, that the matter was at all tunes open ly avowca and justified upon the ground of public giod prejudicial to the rights of J the largest Stockholder; I he disclosure in the answer of the de fendant, proves it was the prevalent npiu ion at that time, that the contractor, with bis contract yielding double the amount of his subscription, might pay the ertenncs of the work from the money. In other words, might make his stock clear ; that is, things were in such a condition that the $tatv, as was supposed, .would pay all the money required for the construction of the Road, and yet, individual would own one third of the stock. This disclosure, to gether with the further fact, 'hat contract ors Who took one-half in stock wena-allow-ed such prices as to enable them to let oil' sub-coitfraets, to bo paid iu cash at a de duction of 2.5 per cent, is really star. ling. It the original undertaking was against public policy, iof course this court could not iu any way aid in carrying it out. The executive officers have caused the snbsenp tiou on the part of the State to be paid, and the Legislature at its last session, ap propriated one other million of dollars, to aid iu the completion of a work which they deemed so important to. the interest of the State." - Thus Judge Pearson settles one ques tion in dispute between the General and mysejf, settles i too upou sworn testimo ny, and more, I doubt, not, to the General's conviction than lo his Mtisfurtion. Let the Gcneial'answer the Chief Justice. If the Central answers the Chief Justice.

I may add, it would be for that bo dy to do go, as it would be for them to for bid the Stockholder elqeting a Director a rw- . aasssssk m owoea twenty snaxes ol . s no impropriety to the memorial ists asking for this, for it would not hurt the complexion of the memorial to add this additional, bur Ugly feature to its face. "As to fare and freights the whole system is a j ni.il.le of coufiisiuii, of favoritism, fraud or folly." This may baso as to the "confusion and til..," out we have our doubts as to the favoritism and fraud." If true, it is an argument against tho large atockhold holders, who controlled In Gov. Blofehead's ahd CoL Fisher's administrations. The b.isi of charges and tariff's were made iu tlie early days of the Company, aud they have undergone no great change since. I can not think either of these gentlemen establish ed " fairs atfd freights" in " fraud or favor itism." If Messrs. Cameron and Webb, the favorites of the large stockholders, have contiuncd these " fares and freights-," I submit to the Ucuemi, that folly, not fraud, expresses both his meaning and his indignation. - " Freights are high. The secret is about one-half the travel, and a large proportion of the freights and telegraphs arc free." If I imitated the General, in his offen sive personalities in No. 1, f would call this a " reckless assertion." If the Gen eral can prove what he says, I would not giveonucli for Mr. Webb's high character as an honest man. " Half the travel, and a large proportion of the freights and tele grams, could not be free wiiho.it the guil ty knowledgo of the 'resident. I ask pardon of Mr. Webb for the sup position.
