GOV. MOREHEAD IN WILMINGTON.
Gov. Morehead arrived in Wilmington
on Thursday last. He made an address
10 the people at Snow Hill, Green County,
on the previous Tuesday, and having an
engagement for Monday last at Waynes-
boro, took the intervening time to make
fving visit here, as a relaxation, aud as
less announcement than journey to Raleigh
and back Immediately TO Waynesboro =
Gov. Morehead did not intend addressing
the people here at this time, but being
present, he was prevailed upon to meet
the citizens of New Hanover, on Saturday
night, at the Court House, and make few
remarks on political topics. The breyity
of the time after the meeting was deter
mined upon, and the period necessarily fix
ed for it, precluded very extended notice,
but there was an assemb!age quite respec-
table in point of numbers, composed of both
political parties. Ex-Governor Dudley
was placed in the Chair, and VIM. 4.
Wright, Esq, acted us Secretary. After
The organization of the meeting, Governor
Morehead began his address and spoke for
about one hour and half. He commenc-
ed by saying he had been called upon by
the late Wing State Convention, which
nominated him for reelection TO meet
and address his folow-cltizens at such
times and places as be might Judge expe-
dent, in order to prevent the success of
the efforts now making by the opposition
party, and TO promote the cause Of truth
snd Sound political principles. The duty
thus Imposed, he should not shrink from
the performance Of He said that in
the character of Candidate for re-elec.
ton to the Executive Chair of the State
he had right to defend himself from
charges made on him, and to rebut them.
He expressed an entire readiness to submit
his whole official conduct to the Judgment
Of any body of honest men, be they Wings
or Democ 4 Hts, and TO rest on their decision.
As to the nature OF the charges now brought
against his administration Of affairs by the
opposition press, he took much comfort IN
the thoughttha. they are all SO triiling, an
evidence that none OF any magnitude can
be made. In reference to the principal
accusations, that he had made useless out
lays of money about the Executive man
sion, thereby squandering the public funds,
he showed conclusively that not dollar
has been unnecessarily expended, and that,
in fact, he had used but little more than
one third of the sum deemed requisite by a
Committee of the Legislature, ON which
there was two leading Democrats.
He then took brief notice of Mr.. Hen

Ga the Goth ult, large concourse OF
people assembled at an carly hour in the

Of Municipality Notes, in consequence Of
the suddenness of resumption. The meet,

they were informed that measures would
be taken 10 redeem their notes as soon as
possible. The meeting was apparently
satisfied with the reply Of the Mayor, but
some evil disposed persons excited them
against the Brokers, who was charged as
the cause of this depreciation, and several
Offices were broken into and part of their

THE LAND BILL.

Those of our readers who are in the
habit of reading the Jeflersonian will re-
collect that its Editor is very violent on
the Wings for passing a law at the Extra
Session, distributing ,Lo proceeds of the
Public Lands among the States. II is
truly strange what changes takes place in
this changeable world, and below we give
another evidence, ofthe changeableness OF
the Editor Of the JefIersonian. Six years
ago he held the following language rela.
tive to Mr.. Clay's Land Dill:
"Ciays Land Bill has passed the senate-a5
Senators voting for it, Mr.. Magyar Of the mum.
Der, and " against it, among whom was Mr..
D'ot7H. Nov who as the true Representative Of
the sediments and iateresfS % the people of \.
Carolina, Mdngum or BrO5n1 MaBgum votes
to gire up 10 his State her Just claim 10 an equal
share Of the proceeds Of the public lands, amount.
ing annually to upwards OF q million Of dollars
Bfoua votes against 1t, and still he is claimed as
the true Representative Of North Carolina
Hopes are entertained that the Bill will also
pass tue House, but If II does. the President will
again veto it.-Western CaroiiRian, May Ii,
1886. J. W. Hampton, Editor"
He may try and excuse himself for OPP
posing distribution now by saying that the
country is in debt and lha, the money from
this source ought not to - ta.len at this
time and given 10 the States. II the mo-
ney already belongs 10 the States as this
Editor asserted, Congress has 10 right to
withhold it. He says:
1T now only requires the signature Of the Pre-.
sident TO become law. Ii is dsUoutly 10 be hop.
cd that Monsieur Veto will discard for once,
The advice Of the evit spirits by whom be is sur.
rounded, and look TO tho good Of his county
1t is said that Van Buren. Benton, DC, are using
their endeayors 10 got veto, and fears are enter.
tanned that they may succeed"
Let the people examine the course of
this Editor while Wing aud now as a
Loco and then ask themselves il thoy can
have confidence in man who can blow
no, and cold.

striking colors that gentleman's wonderful
inconsistencies and angularity Of opinions,
chiefly in relation to a National Bank,
State Banks, and other State corporations;
on all of which subjects it is apparent Mr..
Henry has entertained fieo distinct and
determinale sets Of ideas within such
space Of time as ordinary men require to
make up their minds once on such momen-
tous matters.
Referring TO the outcC now made by
the opposition, against Rail Road,
aud other Corporations Of izate, he d.
rected attention 10 the Legisis = of 1886,
and several preceding ones, all Of which
were Democratic, aud were the grantAs OF
all the Bank aud Rail Road CorporatiAss
now existing in the State, besides host u
others that never went into operation
And yet iorsooth, this party now feigns !
holy horror Of Corporations, that it may
make small mite Of political capital Out
Of popular prejudice. He adyerted in an
effective manner TO Mr.. Henry's jealous
advocacy Of the great schemes Of Internal
improvement adopted by the Improvement
Convention Of ls3s,-his instrumentality
in bringing them before the Legislature
and before the people--his then wiling
ness, nay eagerness, 10 run tie State IN
dcbt-and brought Into contrast the pres-
ent course Of Mr.. Henry and his supper.
tiers in essayllg to throw odlum Oh the
Wings on account Of these very projects
of his own brain.
The whole speech was made up Of state
ments Of facts, and figures in arithmetic,
Intended and calculated to correct misre-
presentation. 1t was highly satisfactory
TO the Wing portion of the audience, but
whether so CT not to their opponents who
were present, we are unable to say, but
doubt not, that, as candid men, they will
feel constrained TO admit tie ,ruthlulness
of all the Governor advanced.

THE ApoRrIoNMENT ELL.


The Senate has, after several DAYS DC.
bate, made a very material alteration in
the Appoftionment Bill. The Bill as il
passed the House made 50,l70 the mum.
Der necessary TO elect a representative
the Senate has changed II to 7l,I43. H.
a representative government like our own
there IS greater danger 10 be apprehonded
from small than large number Of re.
prcseutallyes, We therefore would prefer
the ratio fixed bv the house. The only
objections we know that arc made to a
house consisting OF $50 or 500 members
is the difficulty Of managing such mum.
Der and the expense. As respects the first
objection Io, strict rules be adopted and
strictly adhered to and we have nothing to
fear from the number, and rs to the ex.
pensc, the vieiant guardianship of our
liberties ought to be considered far more
valuable than the difference in tue pay
Whether The house will agree TO the
amendmcn, is doubtful.

The news from England is highly inter-

In the British Parliament the Tories
still maintain their ground. The income

but on every division Sir Robert Peel has
had an average majority Of about 10.

Mr.. HENRY AND GOV MoREIIEAD.
The Loco F0co press has made the
charge that Gov. Morehead was afraid to
meet Mr.. Henry IN grave debate, because
he did not commence electioneeIing before
he had received the nomination of his own
party ; and because the Governor preferred
visiting the eastern part Of the State since
his nomination before the sckly season
would come on they reiterated the charge.
But TO show how little truth there is IN
this charge the Wings Of Orange invited
Gov. Morehead to yisi, them. The Coy.
ernor promised to address them on the
9th ult. il being Court week. The Loco
Focos also invited Mr.. Henry TO be pres
ent. The las, lillsboro Recorder states
that Gov. Morchcad was present and I'D.
dressed the people, but Mr.. Henry did no;
make his appearance. We are willing to
ADMIT That indisposslion mieht have pre-
vented hun from speaking if he had been

Gov. Morehead as his friends reprcsen,

might have manifested his willingness 10

Cd. 4 party of FIVE persons Immediately
went out Tor the purpose OF bury'ng the
dead but they had not proceeded over

about twenty Indians, and one man, Mr..
