MR.. HENRY-Ae.,y.

Those who heard Mr.. Henry during
Court week will recolect that lac CHARGED
Gov. Morehead with being governed BY in.
ferested motives III the appointment Of the
Internal Improvement Board-that he an.
pointed his cousin Mr.. Harper to the board
so as TO locate the road and have i, pass
by his Cotton Factory. What a strange
man this Mr.. Henry is We call The at
tention of the reader to an article from the
Raleigh Register, in a preceding column,
IN which the writer proves to the satisfac.
ton Of all candid men that Mr.. Henry, as
member of an Internal Improvement
Convention in 1888 recommended TO the
Legislature the survey Of road from
Raleigh VIA lIillsborough To Greensboro,
with view TO McAdamlzed Turnpike
Road, and in recommendation Of the road
The report says; " Besides, il is for the

CENTS oS THg FOUND y Now, what
change has come over him since 1855
Then he had no motive but tho good Of
the State, but now, being a candidate for
the Office of Governor and wishing TO be
elected he is ready 10 turn against inca.
sures of his own recommending. Can the
people believe him honestl
ezr In our remarks week before last ON
Mr.. Henry's statement, that Gov. More.
head had appointed his nephew, minor,
his Private Secretary, and that the office
was farmcd out 10 l.. b. Freeman, Esq,
we stated we did not believe it. The |
Standard of the llth instant darcs us to
ask the Register as TO the truth or falsity
Of the charge, which VIC intended doing,
bat the Register has saved US the trouble.
We copy the following from the Register
"Wo darc the Journal to inquire Of tho Regis.
ter, whether Edmund b Freeman. Esq is not an
acting Dspniy " suae sort IN The Gouernor's or |
fee, and whether he is not paid for u by share
Of he Secrstdrys salary and fees. The Register
docs no, deny IT,"
We copy the foregoing from the last Stand.
ard" II the Editor had said" The Register
has not denied TIT would have been true
But We no deny il now since the f" STANDARD is
so positive, and would have done so before. had |
We thought the "play worth the candle" Once,
for all, We beg the STANDARD" to bear in mind.
that our omission to deny every statement it !
makes in relation to tho Wings. must not be Ia.
ken as an admission Of its truth for were VIC 10
undertake 10 correct all tho misstntomonts of that
print, We should have but little timo leA for any
thing else.
We say then, that Mr.. Freeman is not an
acting Deputy" of any sort in the Governors OF |
fec aud receives no pay from the Secretary,
Governor, or any body else, for services rendered
in that Department. lie has nothing like as
much 10 do with the Executive, as he has with
the Standard" Office for he necessarily pas.
SOS the one some half dozen times every day,
whereas NO doubt, il he sees tho inside of the
Governors Office once month. Are you an
swered, Mr. Standard
What say you now Mr.. Standard.
-
W. Nobody denied Mr.. Standard that
Mr.. King was delaulter to tho Literary
Board. Mr.. Henry in his speech here
wanted to make the impression that the
Board was composed of Wings in ls4O,
and that was the reason Gov. Morchead
did not tell on him." Does not the Stand
ard know that Mr.. Stone was member Of
the Board. Why, then, did he not tell on
him. We suppose the $4,000 has not
been paid yet, but We cannot see what
right Mr.. Henry has to complain of this
as long as his securities say
they are willing to pay the amount.
