The statements made by him are untrue and are e rt-flection upon tbe honesty and character of Mr Harrison aod myeslf. the only witnesses on the part of the Bute Instead of perform ing the duty of a oroseoutina officer and oonsultiag the State witnesses, h nets up In open court and defsods tbs oriminsi whom he ie sworn to prose- oute. It as a notorious fact that D. N. Kil- bum has, previous to his lndiotment and repeated I j since, failed to publish hie monthly statements of receipts and disbursements of the county funds com ing into hie hands as county treasurer. wnioa bs is required to do by lew. and the ohargee in the two indietmenfc- against him are undisputed facta well known to many of the people of thr county, and oould have been sustained ithout doubt As a taxpayer end oiti- ten of Craven county, I feel interested in the welfare of its people, and onlj desire to have the laws executed and every officer end person made to obey the laws. I am not aotuated by ant personal malice or spirit againat Mr. Kilburn During the past three years 1884, 1885 and 1886 a very large amount oi taxes have bemn eolleoted (probably not less than 990,000) for schools, buildlov a new court bouse and other oountv nurpoeee and from the best information I oan obtain tbre is not to be found any record as required by law in the office of I he register of deeds of any dis bursements showing bow this Uriir amountof your taxes have been piJ out by that officer. The manner in which Mr. Kilburn 'a aonounta are kepi renders it eimost impossible for you to lesrn how he baa disbursed your taxes In defianoe of an order of your county commissioners, he has persis tently refused to pest his statements. Tbe laws are ample and sufficient and all I ask and desire is that this shall be executed and oomplied with. John O. Gardner. New Beme, Nov. 80, 1887. As one of the 8tate witnesses in tbe two oases of Bute vs. D.

H White, be ever eaid snytbing U, or had any con sultation with me in reference to tbe merits of tbe above cases, and that from mv knowledtce of the facta, the state ments made by Mr. John O.

HOW TWrJITYOK tOLUON ACRXS op U.XD WXRK XESCCBO WBOU THS RAIL ROAOS. WASHIflOTOK, Nov. 29. One of the most irapunant feeturee of Secretary Lamar's forthcoming annual report ie tbe part which relates to the adjust ments of railroad land grants. In it he eats: ' "Shortly after my appointment to th position I now have tbe honor to hold I became iospreesed with the fact tnat the publio domain was bing di verted from iu legitimate purpose. Coogree bad not only made grants wnicn in some instances exoeedea in xteut tbe area of a half-dusen of the largest and most popular Statee of the Union, but in addition pro-iied that any lueaee of lands within Uie granted limits ahould be aad.fied by .elections of landa within, other and adjoining limits, tbus nearly doubling tbe area of tbe original grants. Uoder these acta the land department had withdrawn from publio appropriation not only the granted limits ma requited by law, but alio the lands whicn the indemnity limits at the request of the grantee companies Tbus enormous auantiiies of the publio land were heid iu reser vation to await tbe convenience of the respeotivn corporations in the construc tion of their roads, tbe selection of their land and tbe unoenain adjustment of the grants by tbe department. Not withstanding theae indemnity with drawals wers made exclusively in the interests or the companies, fsw of these, if any of tbe in, constructed their roads with in tbe time prescribed yi tbe grant ing act, as an express condition on shicn tbe grant was made. Maps of probable,' general.' 'deinualed. and 'deflolte' routes of said roads were filed with rapidity in the department, and withdrawals thereunder asked and al most invariably granted until the pub lio land. States and Territories, were gridironed over with railroad granted nd indemnity limits, and in many in stances tbe limits of one road overlap ting and oonoiotinrf with other roads in the moat bewildering manner, so that the settler seeking a home could scarce ly find a desirable location that was not olaimed by some one, or perhsps two or three of the many roads in whioh grants of land bad been made bv Cong ess. Nor was this all. Though the desired tract might not be appar ently covered by a railroad location , tbe settler would hardly select it before agents of tbe corporations would set up a olaim to it, or the right to occupy and denude it under tbe right of way and oonatruotion privileges conferred by tbe granting act. Thus the settler, ignorant of his legal rights, and with no one to advise him wuh respect to either the law or the facts, would, for the sake of peace and a home, readily consent to purchase from tbe company. In this way these corporations, in addition to the lands granted to them, have olaimed, sold and reoeived the price of a great deal of land to whioh they had neither legal nor montl right, nor the shadow of either. Wben lands thus sold by a oompany were found to be outside of the grants and determined oy tbe department to be publio lands, the purchaser from the oompany found himself in the unfortunate predicament o baving lost both his land and his money. The Secretary then refers to tbe oase of Guilford Miller and the steps taken oy the Preeident for bis protection and that of other settlers, and refers to tbe passage of ths law of March 8. 1887. whereby tbe Secretary of the Interior was "directed to immediately adjust each of tbe railroad land sraots made oy CoDgreee to aid in the construction offrhilroade." Tbe Secretary ooooluded that if tbe department waa olothed with authority to make Indemnity with drawals, as bad been done in so many instances, tbe exercise of tbat authority was a matter entirely within sound dis cretion, and not a matter of legal obli gation in any respect, and accordingly on May 26. 1887. rules were laid upon the different companies for whose be ne at withdrawals had been made to show tause by a certain day why said with drawals should not be revoked. After the hearing tbe orders' wltbdrs wing the lands within the indemnity limits and reserving tbe same- from settlement were revoked end ths lands restored to the publio domain and to settlement in large number of oasee which are mentioned by tbe Secretary. Tbe amount of lead restored to tbe publio domain through the orders revoking tbe indemnity withdrawals is stated by the commissioner of the general land offioe to be Til 830 UW sores. la conclusion the Secrete' y urges the necessity of ap propriations for the surveys, without wbiott a complete ad lustmsnt of these railroad grams is not practicable. Jala Hfcsrp's Case. Nxw York, Nov. 80. It was expected that an application for tbe release of Jaoob Sharp on bail would bs mads today, but his counsel, Mr. Cochran, ex plained Mas he must await tha filing of a remittor, which baa not yet arrived from Albany,; fie expects to scours Sharp's release tomorrow.. The favor able decision of the. Court of Appeals seems to have prod need, little effect, on Bsarp.
