D ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, . SgWJAY MORNING, I l - " JOIST 3IEETIXO ; or tlic uoaru . xrauo u Tobacco Association, and Citizens Last .Night. - A large and interesting meeting of the Board of Trade, ogether with members of the Tobacco As portation, and citizens generally, was held at the Club Booms l&t night. A report from the Sanita ry Committee -was read and ap proved. Mr. Richmond Pearson being present, i was called upon and spoke on the subject of the,ex tension of the Carolina Central Railroad to lr to Asheville lie said that, the road in all nrnluiliilitv. would TO fo Rntioir j fordton, but could not teli wheth- i ertne uompaiiy uuuiu. tinAm.vrv to extend the line to Asheville. He referred to. the road law, and thought that a law would be -given to Bui combe similar to the one which applies to Mecklenburg. He mentioned the subject of a Stock law for this county, aud said that he desired information on the sub let. Capt. Patton, Mr. McCapo and otiicrs, made ; remarks favor ing a stock law. Mr. Pearson 1dm sel, thought thatonly certain townships in the county wanted it. He could not tell what action the legislature would take on the question of merchants' tax; but mat the movement for s me. leg islative relief had spread over thn entire State. He was of opinion, however, that the tax would be retained, the inducement iu the way ot revenue being so great, but admitting that it was unjust and over burdensome. Mr. Pearson continued his remarks at length, referring to other matters of gen eral interest which have come up for consideration in the Legisla- UOn motion of Mr W. T. Penni man, the following resolution was adopted: ' ' . liexotved, : hat this meeting of the Board of Trade, Tobacco As sociation and citizens of Asheville is strongly in favor ot the Stock Law -now pending in theLegisla ture, and requests our Senator and Repnsentatives to use their exertious in securing its pa sage. Mr. Pearson made a statement in regard to the Spartanburg & Asheville Railroad. .He said that Col. Andrews had toldJhln?tlMit tie companyva ioifjtfoas to coin ple.to tho road, that if resolutions providing for a Repeal of the char ter were introduced into the Leg islature, it would only embarrass the company, and work determent to its progress. ! He spoko of the recent meeting at Spartanburg, and had faith in these promises to begin work at once, but since the strong opposition exhibited against his amendment to the Robinson bill, (published else where,) he did not know what to think. He referred to the position taken by Mr. Rohison and other western members in : opposing his amendment. He was inclined to think that the opposition to his amendment by tho friends of the company indicated that they did not mean !o finish the road. Mr. Pearsoufs amedudment and as to what course he should pursue, was dicussed by Messr f R. Hamilton, J. E. Rankin, J. Keploi. v . r. reuuiman, . l. Gwvu and others.; On motion of Mr. W. T. Pen nimau, the following resolution waa unanimously adopted: llesolced, That the amendment proposed by Mr; Pearson, to bill IU2. entitled "A 'Bill to be entitled an Act to secure the completion of the Western North Carolina Kail ro:idto its Western terminus at Murphy," beingimply inthena tureof a guarantee of the good faith of the Railroad authorities. in their promises as to thecoiuph;- tion of the spartannurg tt Astte- ville R ilaoad, and in no way pn? judicial .to the interests of the rail road company, or to the bill itself, we feel assured that the said au thorities will be glad of the opporr tunity of so guaranteeing their oromises. and we accordingly urge our Senator and Representatives to press the . amendment and to assist in the passage of the bill if so amended. RaTjF.igii, Feb. 19. To-day in the House, a 'bill was pissed n m ivingthq tax on insurance con pauies and at the same time re moving a 1 barries to the entrance of any companies into the State.
