He remembered with gratitude that the handsome company "which stood on his right was the same which had escorted him to the capital of his State when he went there to take his seat as Governor, and he was no less minufal or the sympa thy and regard which the people of .North Carolina had shown him during , the past year and tormeriy m, tne dinicuit and troublesome time in his State, His ex- experience during the war was that wherc- ever placed, the tar-heels could be relied C, THURSDAY, on He hoped to Riflemen again in see the Hornets' Nest Columbia on the 10th of May.

Last Saturday night at half past 10 o'clock, H. Oglesby shot and killed D. J. Williams, at Laurinburg, Richmond coun ty. In order to get at"-the facts, and that we might not do injustice to any one in reporting the affair, we visited the piace on Monday morning, and listened to the statements of several parties. David J. Williams, the deceased, was about thirty years old, a native of Duplin county. He was unmarried, and had been living in ljaunnburg .tor nve or six years. He was looked upon as" a clever, inoffensive man. H. Oglesby, who did the shooting, is about 28 years old, a native of Duplin county, and has respectable connections. When sober he was of a pleasant depo sition. He has a wife but no children. J. C. Goodman stated that Oglesby was town constable; that he (Oglesby), . went to the bar-room of Williams and demand ed his privilege tax. Williams told him that he did not expect to continue in business much longer, and did not want to pay for the year. Oglesby said he had no right to collect for a less period, aad insist ed that he should pay it. Williams then told him that he had loaned him (Oglesby) five dollars, and he could pay the tax and he would give him the proper credit. Oglesby denied ow-ing him the money, a'nd a quarrel ensued Oglesby left, telling Williams he would see him again, the later followed; him saying that he would kill him. Oglesby summoned Goodman and others to go and assist iu arresting Wil liams: they endeavored to evade this for they only looked upon the matter as a drunken quarrel. Oglesby went to the door of the deceased's store, and as Wil liams was closing the door, he put his foot in and told hinvto consider himself under arrest. Williams told him to take his foot out, and let him close the door- Og lesby said, "If you don't surrender I'll shoot you." Williams, then said:V'I iim( going to shoot." And I then hrard a shot. The shot entered over Williams' right eye, penetrating the skull and lodging in the posterior portion of the brain, He lived about four honrs. but was unconscious to the last. J. S. Croach gave a statement not so favorable to Oglesby, but we have pot space to give it, in fact we have been com pelled to condense Goodman's statement. Mr. Croach says that Oglesby told Wil liams to surrender, or he would shoot, and Williams replied, "Dam you, shoot !" and .that he did not say "I am going to shoot," He also stated that Oglesby had threat ened to kill Williams during the night. f We were permitted to visit the prisoner. He said that he did not remember any thing about the occurance. He was cool and collected. His friends say that he had not been in his right mind for some time, that he was arrested a few weeks since for a trivial rev enue case, and forced into jail at Wil- ngton with out time to see his brorther- in-law, who was then in Wilmington, and would, as he afterwards did, have furnish ed bail, They say he was of a sensitive nature, and that the incarceration so oper ated upon his mind that he has not been right since. The verdict of the Coroner's iurv was simply that the deceased came to his death from a wound from a pistol jn the hands of H. Oglesby. upon which he was com mitted to the Wadesboro jail. J he corpse was placed m a. colhn and shipped ,to Faisons Depot, Duplin county' the residence ol his sister. Mrs. lhornton.

Charles -Nprdho-ff in the New York Herald: The general effect of the debate on the: Army bill in the House has,un doubtedly embarrassed the Republicans, and they feel it keenly. 1 hey began with cries of "Revolution,"' and yet General Garfield had to confess at the close th.it the houses were within their constitutional rights in passing the Appropriation bills with riders, and thus the Republicans were compelled to admit that ;the general pub already saw that a veto could not rest upon the mere fact of extraneous legislation being tacked to the bills. But this is not all. The Republicans discovered before the House debate closed that they could not safely put themselves on the ground that troops ought to be used at the polls, and General Garfield had to extricate them from that' dilemma also. They arc not as grateful to him as the ought to be; they growl that he gave up everything, but in fact he very skilfully and bravely extiicated them from a totally untenable position. If they would have made had been wise they no fight at ail on the lrmy!bill, and they are now trym to conceal their blunder in this matter jy endeavoring to intimidate the President into vetoing it right or wrong.
