the power of his eloquence and reasoning that

CHERAW GAZETTE,
TUESDAY, JANUARY "a, 1887.

We owe an explanation to our Western
subscribers for not sending their papers by
last Tuesdays mail. They were ready
und carried to the Post Office iii time to be
sent off, but the clerk in the office refused to
unlock the mail and drop them in, contrary,
as we learn from the Post Master, to his
express direction. He had repeatedly as.
sured us that papers sent before the depar-
ture of the mail, should be put in. The
large packe:s we had dropped into the
Stage, but retained the small ones till next
trip, lest they might be lost.
The Rev. John o. B. Dargan has re-
ceived and accepted q call from the Bap-
tist Church in this town to become their
pastor.
We have received the list of those who were
drafted for the Florida campaign from the 5Oth
Regiment, but, so late THAT we are obliged to
postpone it till next week.
CINCINNATI AND CHARLESTON RAIL ROAD.
No subject has given rise to so animated and
able discussion in the Legislature OF North
Carolina during the present session, as the
bill to grant banking privileges to the corpora
ton for constructing this great work.
The BILL after having been first rejected In
the Senate, was again re-considered and pass
ed BY majority of three votes. After de-
bate of several days in the House of Commons,
it also passed that body with some amend
ments by the same majority. When returned
to the Senate for concurrence IN the amend :
ments, they were all concurredi in, two ofthem
by the casting vote Of the Speaker. But anoth-
or amendment was added, the fate of which IN
the Commons we have not yet learnt. 1t pre-
cludes foreigners from holding stock, and it
was feared by some would at last defeat the
bill. Col. Memminger, the commissioner from
this State, addressed both Houses, on the sub
ject, and with an effectperhaps rarely, if ever,
produced upon such abody by any public speak
or. When Col Memminger reached Raleigh,
almost the whole Legislature was opposed to
the project o. granting banking privileges to the
