I Elizabeth City A'conornijfr: It Lai ' not trenerallv known that the term i "baffaloe," aa used drng the civil war, originated in Elreabth City in a reataurant kept at that tune on '. l water by Dave Davis and was 'flrst applied by a man named as a Dricic Darner, in tne vara oi John Black.

Bobert C'artwright, a citizen of lover Pasquotank, with a family consisting of a w-ife and two chil dren, came to this town 011 Wednes day last, pnt np his horse at Brothers' livery stable and was soon, aa was his wont, overcome by the temptation of the towu. He waa seen during the day and late that night, for the last time alive. The curiosity and the humanity of onr citizens was aroused and search was made but ho could not be found. At length, on Monday morning their worst tt.irs were realized, when the waters gave up their dead and the body was found nar the old steamboat wharf. Alas! it was the old, old tale of the man "who puts an enemy iuto his month to steal away his brains," a tale of family suffering, of blighted prospects, of ruined hopes and all the manifold crimes that fee, (rallowg and the jail.

Now to the history: The only promise that I made in my canvass at the Kich lando ws that my course should he strictly Democratic, und that the only special hobby I h:id was the Democratic platform, winch no man dare t" i-ny. In our primary canvs9 and in tne fun eral canrass I told the people at Oil man 's nulls and Morton a that if they would return me to the Legislature, I would use all the influence I possessed to obtain them a charter for a railroad running from Trent River to New River, and Ihey give me their hearty support in the general election and I heurtily thank them. I talked with several men both in Jones and Onslow and in Wayne, and they urged me to press tor ward in the enterprise. The hrsl man to approach me on my way to Kaleigh was Col. Humphrey, who assured me the charter would be forwarded to me soon: and C. E. Foy was the next, who brought the charter, and we went before the literary board and I there protested against the road being taken from us. The cli :er aaked for the road and all of "W te Oak swamp and proposed to pav tw, live thousand dollars in first-class b s of the company for said swamp an 1 .11 the taxes from said road and franc should be paid into the t d ucat loDal f und . and that when the said company should construct its road through said lands ready for the cars to run over, then the board of education was to give them a deed for said land. After discussing the meriu of thj project, the (iovernor suggested alternate sections of the land and S 1 . oOO : and it was agreed, but the board could not and did not take any action, and the charter was on the same day intrLsiuced by me and become House bill No. 4.M). Congressman bimmons also came to Raleigh, and he talked with me about it. and some delays of the committee kept me from having a hearing before them. I then w ent home and to Jackson ville, and there I saw a petition and a bill to revive and enact the old Plant ers' Railroad, and talked with Dr. Nicholson, who read the bill to me. and I objected to section 7, which re vived the subscriptions, etc. 1 returned to Raleigh on Wednesday, met K. D. Koonce. E. Murrill. S. h. Taylor and Dr. Nicholson at Goldsboro. who went to Raleigh with me; read the charter acain on the cars, found the same ob jections and in addition thereto ilasked the Sute to grant said corporation two hundred thousand dollars of the State's bonds, and the Core Creek and Quaker Bridge roads and the whole of the White Oak swamp free. I suggested that like For 'e project, they had better lay their scheme before the board of education, and they agreed, and I went with and I introduced them to the Governor and others, and treated them kindly. Koonce laid his scheme before them as to the State lands, and the same en dorsement was had. Nothing was said aa to price or alternate sections. I then introduced the bill and it became House bill 728. The committee on internal ( improvements of the House met the same evening. H. B. 4s0 was then be fore them, and bv the kindness and confidence of Mr. Bulla, he trusted to me H. B. 723 and both bills were con sidered together in committee. We all appeared and both sides were strongly put byJUr. Koonce and Col. Humphrey and the committe seemed to be solicit ous about what I wanted done in the matter; the committee took a vote on the $200,000 clause, and it was struck out. I then made this statement: That the first proposition. H. B. 4?0. waa the best for the State, but the sec ond proposition waa the beet for my countv, and as my people were petition- . 1 ing for it I must decide in favor of them, and hoped that the committee would so decide. We all then left the I committee and, to the surprise of us I all, the committee reported the Ijrst. j H. B. 4?0, favorable, and H. B. un. I favorable. I returned to the commit tee soon to a-ertain the cause of their j action, and Morgan took me aside and . told me that if Koonce would put his proposition on an eual footing with (Humphrey's that they would reverse I the report. I then told Col. Taylor 1 about the matter and also Koonce. and he said h could not do it: that the Northern men whom he waa represent ing had not authorized him to do it and he would not. I then called the com mittee s attention to this tact: that it they would be pleased to retort the bill to the House without prejudice. 1 would be glad, and they agreed to do it. I then, widi Koonce, Murrill. Taylor und Nicholson, .met at the Varboro House that night an 1 finally Koonce and the others agreed to let me amend the brl so as to put it on an equal footing with the other one, and I thought that the committee would reverse the report. Koonce met me at my boarding house and wrote out the amendments and I took charge of the tills, and they then returned home. Si-nie fe ' days were passed before I could gi t a quorum of the committee together, and w hen th. y did convene, Foy. lirsy. Thomas and other-, includ ing Dr. Sanders, were present, and the committee agree d to report as toll. B. 4e0 favorable Bn 1 U. B. T'2s unfavorable- Capt.

We had some warm words and retired . and the committee reported my bill favorably and it has passed it several readings, Koonce next morning tried to get pome members to mtroduce the resolu tions of censure and failed, and then had to go around behin 1 the Speaker's desk and hand them to him. and they will not be presented unless I order it done. I am informed that every mem ber of the commutes in both houses and every man in the General Assembly will sustain me. and if any man in ' Onslow county d"es not believe me, all he has to do is to come to Kaleigh and I will call up the resolutions and test the case. I do not see but that I am just as pop ular as I was before KooDCe made the onslaught, and to prove this the Speaker called me to the chair tonight and I pre sided over the deliberations of the House: in fact I am more popular be cause their sympathies are drawn out towards me. and Koonce is knoun too well from K man to the seashore as an oppressor of men in the collection of ( old debts, besides his llopdoodle course. I can forgive my people because I love them, but I must confess 1 am surprised 1 at them for letting Koonce lead them: and I will be frank, gentlemen. I am no, popular enough to take Koonce and his w ild cat schemes through the Leis- ' lature. neither will I attempt to entail litigation and probable bankruptcy on the glorious old county of Onslow. I have letters and documents to bear me out in my assertions. I hope to be with you all soon and all this trouble will recoil on Frank's shoulders. Now in conclusion I will say to the 1 good perple in Kichlands who held the . indignation meeting, if they could but appreciate the importance of my vote, although it be but one in one hundred and seventy, that it counts, considering that we have two questions of county , government ytt to decide, and I do not know how many more may be sprung, and also the joint ballot on the election of justices of the peace, and the loss of Clark and Lane and the seating of Green and Hussey in their stead they would be slow to ak me to resign my seat in the House of Representatives, especially if you have at heart, as I have, that this is a white man's govern ment and that the Anglo-Saxon race shall rule it. Very respectfully, H. E Kino. Organization. The uoik of organizing clubs continues to progress in this State, and our farmers are evidently tak ing a new departure. The subjects' under disctissiou at these club meetings are of a practical charac ter, on such matters as our farmers are interested in and the interest manifested in these discussions shows that the spirit of progress is not eonliued to a lew men nor to a lew clubs but is becoming genera!. In some conn tics w here there was no club three mouths aj;o there are several now, new ones being organized weekly, and those already orgauized grow ing stronger in numbers and in importance. The value of th club as an aid to the farmer is begin ning to be appreciated, ami many who stood aloof when the organiza tion first began are now taking hold earnestly and enthusiastically, ami there is a unanimity of feeling being developed, perhaps never be fore witnessed in this State. The result, so far has been good. It has resulted in a closer fellow ship between the followers of the plow, a determination to co operate and assist each other move than they did in the past, to counsel together, and work together for' their mutual good. There is evi dence of the good results in the determination shown by so many farmers to diversify their crops more, to do less of borrowing, buy ing on credit and mortgaging their crops and stock, to buy less of com mercial fertilizers and make more compost and barn-yard manure, to cultivate fewer acres aud cultivate them better.

(JKNEUAL ASSEMBLY. SKNATE. - KTY-MNTU I)A . March -. lsc?. The sienate was called to order at 10 o'clock by President Stedman. The revenue bill was resumed, the Senate sitting as a committee of the whole. Mr. Pemberton occupying the c h a i r . Mr. Alexander stated that he hmi spent yesterday afternoon with State Treasurer Bain consulting with regard to the 1 fleet of the adoption of twenty cents tax. He found that the levy of twenty cents on the hundred dollars worth, even with the $100,000 in the treasury would net meet the require ments, that the additional appropria tions of this session, with this levy, would work a deficit of S20G.OOO. He was. moreover, greatly surprised to find that in lsso there was a ehoit age on land, town and personal prop erty of S7.000.0CO without authority of law. That the tax waa levied on the basis, of the assessment of I8S4. and he' was unable to account for the shortage wholly unsanctioned bv law. Section 22 was amended by Mr. Webb by adding after the word "State,"' in line CO the words "printers solicitors orders." and then adopted. Sections 23 and 24 were adopted.

Adopted. Sections 20, 27. 23, 20 and 30 were adopted. Section SI was amended by inserting after quantities" the words "for sell ing in quantities of one quart or lees." also bv changing "may" iu line U2 to "shall. " Section 32 was amended by striking out all the words after "auctioneers" in line seven. Sections :la to 47, inclusive, were adopted. The committee having finished the consideration of the revenue act, rose at 1:30 o'clock, when Mr. Pemberton. as chairman, reported to the Senate and asked the adoption of the bill as amended. Before the second reading of the bill Mr. Alexander moved to amend sections 2 and 3 by inserting 25c. and 7?c. in ' place of 20c. and 60c. He said that he had a cold and could not enlarge upon , the subject, but as chairman of the finance committee he would call to mind his warnings, and would urge members te appropriate enough money. An amendment to be called section . 4?, by Mr. Alexander, was adopted, , allowing a sum cot to exceed S2,500 to the State treasurer, to collect taxes with. The money must come, and bet ter now than at an extra session. He called the ayes and noes on his amend- . ment, which was lost. 30 to G. The bill then passed second reading and the Senate adjourned to 7:E0 p. m. NIoHT SESSION. Bill for relief of D. A.

Raleigh, Feb. 28, 1887. j Ei'ixoii Journal: 1 beg leave to re-1 ply through your columns to my es-1 teemed and venerable friend Dr. Charles Duffy. The gentleman has seen fit to j address me in an open and public letter ! and in reply to what has become of our : road, (Quaker Bridge) if I wascorrectly informed bv MessrB. F. D. Koonce and j Dr. J. L. Nicholdson, the gentleman has signed it away to build the Planters' ' Railroad on. or has petitioned the county I commissioners to do so, and F. ID. j Koonce informed me that they, the commissioners, had done bo in writing. ! I will say in justice to my friend Dr. ' Duify that he did. however, direct a letter to me and Koonce told me that 1 Dr. Nicholdson handed it to him to give j to me. There was no envelope on it. 1 But Koonce did not hand it to me until ! half-past 12 o'clock on the next day J after we appeared before the Senate 1 committee on internal improvements 1 tne nignt oetore. in earn letter my friend Dr. Duffy did earnestly, implore and intreat me to stand by the Quaker Bridge Road : but Koonce, in one of his sharp tricks, did not band me the letter until the time stated above. I read the letter and endorsed on it, returned to Koonce, naming the day and hour and minute and made memorandum on my book of the indorsement in the presence of Koonce. I will now inform the Docpor that before the East Carolina Railroad and Land Company can get the right of way and the right of domain over the Quaker Bridge or Core Creek Road that the bill provides by amend ment, that Senator "Warren, the chair man on internal improvements, put on at my suggestion and after consulting with Major Finger and written out by Col. Humphrey and considered with the bill, that the said corporation should first get the consent of the board of commissioners and the consent in writ ing of the board of education of the State. The latter was at the suggestion of Maj. Finger and the first was inserted in the original bill. So my good friend will perceive that the whole matter is left in the hands of the literary board and the board of commissioners of Jones and Onslow. Senator Adams also demanded that an amendment should go on the bill that the said cor poration should construct its line through said White Oak swamp near its centre, which was accepted. I also de manded, as C. E. Foy and representa tive "White well know, that I had a sec tion added, that the said corporation should commence to construct its road within twelve months, and that they should complete to New River, in Onslow- county, within four years. My friend further asks that the Quaker Bridge Road should be com pleted, and that its line of construction to Tar Landing be also completed. I would ask of my good friend if that piece of contemplated road ruusthrough the Slate lands; and I will, further ask him if he did Bign away his right in the road as Koonce states, aMd if so the re buke of Nathan to David: "Thou art the man.'" does not apply to me, and think ing men will construe it to their own notion, and in his conclusion that he demands a strict observance of the views thus expressed, and that there can be no difficulty in carrying out the plan laid, and that the danger is in get ting confused by interference with no other object in view than self-agran-dizement. Now if Koonce has correctly informed me, he laid the plan by sign ing away the right in the public road and the self-agrandizement spoken of must lie at his own door, and not mine. And in conclusion allow me to say to my good friend that if I have miscon strued his public letter I. as an honest man. beg his pardon. Respectfully yours. H. E. King. Respited. The Governor yesterday respited Henry Artis. col., who is in jail in Goldsboro under sentence of death. The execution was to have been today, but a respite of ten days was granted in order that the prisoner might present an application and petition for commu tation of sentence. His crime is that of murder, having killed his daughter-in-law with an axe while in a fit of drunken insanity. The reprieve was granted at the request of the judge and the councei assigned to defend the prisoner. The Governor also commuted the sen tence of Lucy Morgan, convicted at the August term. Is6. of Rowan Superior Court of infanticide and sentenced to be hanged the ISth of March, 1?57, to life in the penitentiary. Reason?: The only witness, a most intelligent physician declares that he could not say that the child came to ita death by violence. It might have been smothered in the straw without inten tion of the prisoner to kill. The judge, solicitor -and many good people aeked f r commutation. A'eics and Observer.
