The men who were, last year, for giving
up the boundary controversy, and who ca
Illuminated the state government for resisting
the pretensions of Ohio, are the very men
who are now in.favor of remaining out of
the Union, and for setting the laws of the
United States at defiance. They feel not
the least regard for the interests orthe rights
of Michigan. Their only objectis to excite
the public feeling, in order that they may
succeed in producing confusion and in push
inc themselves into power. Such men
should be watched with vigilance, and treat
ed as they deserve. by the people Of Mich
igan.
We consider the act of Congress chang
ing our southern boundary as q violation oil
the ordinance of 1767.
We consider that unless we assent to that
act, and so go into the Union upon its
terms, we are "debarred from being a par.
~ in the supreme court" in any cause.
We consider that the question ofour adj
mission into the Union can never become a
judicial question. 1t is strictly q political
matter, which Congress have the power,
though not the right, to decide as they think
proper.
We consider that Michigan must 60 into
the Union on the terms proffered by con
gress, or declare her independence from
the United States, and set up q government
for herself.
We consider that il Is in her character a.
n member of the Union, and not as an in
dependent state, that Michigan can receive
her share of the surplus money in the trea
sury, or any part of the proceeds Of the pub
lie lands, agreeably to the acts Of congress
passed on these subjects.
We learn that the executive officer
of the general government, will not pa
one cent to Michigan, until she becom'
o state of the Union,--Dct. Da', Fr

LouisriNe, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail
Rond We understand (says the Knoxville
Reoister. 10th inst.) the Commissioners have
transmitted the amount of stock subscribed, to
Gov. Cannon for the purpose of obtaining his
subscrintion on behalf of the State-and we
arc bappy to learn that the Governor will
nromntly subscribe for one third ofthe estima-
ted cost of constructing the road within the
limits of this State-this third Will PROBABLY De

The following is the total number OF Shares
taken in the different States in which subscEp-
tions have been opened. South Carolina, Sl,-

Kentucky, 1871; Ohio l22.

GRrEsv1LLE, Nov. l9.-Meteors-agau,-
We learn that the people in the neighborhood
Of Mavbinton, Newbery District, witnessed
the fall of an immense number OF Meteors, which
made their appearance at about IL o'clock on
Saturday night last, land continued their descent
until daylight the next morning. 1t is said
their number was not near so great as the
..falIng of the stars" Gas it Is usually termed
three years since; but the spectacle Is repre-
sented as having been very brilliant and un-
usual. Itwil be recollected that last Sunday
was the l3th;and that this last Meteoric display
Of natures fire works took place on the same
day of the month and at about the same hour,
as in 1893. We have not lea:ntwhether these
Meteors were visible at any other place than
the above, but presume they were.
The Meteors-We see it stated that on
the night of the 18th inst. being the anniversa-
rv of the brilliant shower of meteors IN 1884,
the same phenomenon was observed IN various
places, though in more moderate way. The
fact is now pretty well established, that an an
nual repetition of the phenomenon may be ex-
pected on or near the 18th of November IN

MESSAGE OF GOV. sPAIGHT, OF N. CAROLINA
This document, after adverting to the ahen-
alton feeling growing out of the late contest
between the East and West, on the subject
of amending the constitution, and expressing
the strange opinion that it may not cease du-
ring the life of the present generation, recon-
mends a change in the judicial districts that
should lessen the labor Of the Judges. 1t re-
commends such alteration of the criminal laws
as shall secure more speedy punishment OF
offenders. 1t states the literary fund to be
S242,O45 90, besides l4l shares in the Bank
of Newbern, and 2S3 shares in the Bank OF N.
Carolina; and suggests an increase OF IT,
The fund for internal improvement is stated to
be s37,4l7 50, besides outstanding bonds and
dividends on Bank stock; which Will be IN
creased by the proceeds of Cherokee lands not
sold at former sales. The total amount re-
ceived into the Treasury during the last year,
is S5S6,4l6 "a viz. from loan, $4OO,OOO;
from taxes, S7l,3s2 IS; from Bank dividends.
| SI15,O33 so. The disbursements amounted
to S5S9,O56 g.; leaving a deficiency OF S2,-
67O3S.' 1t is recommended that some change
he made in the mode of assessing land. Un-
der the present mode, every man assessing his
own land, the conscientious pay their full pro-
portion, but the dishonest do not. 1t is re-
commended that longer time be allowed for
the Treasurer to qualify, and that the amount
of the bond required of him be reduced. A
reform of the Militia laws Is recommended, but
no specific change proposed, except some pro-
vision for appointing the officers Of volunteer
companies, if called for by the President
The message suggests that if the General
Assembly receive the share to which the State
may be entitled of the "surpus revenue " OF
the United States, it be invested upon unques-
tionable security, which would provide for the
return of it when demanded, and enable the
State to use the interest for promoting educa-
. tion or other objects.
The Governor, in connection with this SUD-
iect, takes occasion to express tho opinion thai
| the act of compromise between Nulllhcatlon
and protecting Tariff" under the operation
of which the surplus revenue accumuiates
,, ought to be repealed, or altered. lie admits
, !, it was a compact, but takes the ground thai
the people did not authorize such compact
and that therefore it may be violated.
!, He states that he issued writ of election
:. to supply vacancy in the Senate, but doubts
1 the validity of the proceeding, because the
law which authorized it was passed IN pursu'
5 ance of a provision of the new constitution
: before the new constitution went into opera

under the old constitution, which provided
