them almost wholly made up Of acts of Incorporation
or supplementary thereto. aud special and local acts,
most of which never ought to have been passed. Yet
every man in the community is taxed to keep up the
Legislative machinery between three and four months
every year. This is the most prolific subject for the
press aud in relation to which il might do more good
than annst any other. The only object of general
interest the people. requiring the attention OF the

and some additional revenue acts, which are imperi-

Gentlemen:-Your letter and the petitions which

it ripen into a law. Yours truly,

NORTH CARoLINA-We are reliably assured that
the account of meeting at Prats Sture Orange Co..

published last week, was spurious-fabricated at the

have uforetine been enacted. The names used in Il

mary, with fanciful variations.
We only add that we received them by letter from
North CaroIlna, with private and special request
to publish and did without doubt of their genu-
ineness. And we kno,o they speak the sentiment OF
a good many Ncrih Carolinians, including some OF
the best men in that State If these dare not give

RAILROAD MANTA.-The Philadelphia Ledger very
sensiby the country against running into ex-
travagance in the projection of railroads. There
now in the United States about $500 miles of rail-
way completed at cost of $3.50 900 600. and befbre
the close Of the year, a, least 5000 miles will
be in contemplation. Some few of these lines when
completed will pay an interest their cost but far
greater number will for net the proprieors
der two per cent.
Every one must remember the Juror upon this SUBJ
ject from 1885 to 1910, and the million that, in a
blind ZEAL buried beneath railroads and canals,
then begun, which are now diapidated and in ruins,
or entirely lost sight Of The terrible bankruptcy
that followed so immense in magnitude, that
nothing less than that great national sponge, the
bankrupt law, capable of wiping it out.
Still later in England, the railway mania produced
general bankruptcy and prostraton Of business that
was terrible. These things should be remembered.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN-WHE SECURING $1,000 FOR

Elizabeth Hubgh pS. Carrolton Railroad Company, in
which the plaintiff sued for $4,000 damages, for the
killing of her husband by the explosion Of the loco
motive the Carrolton railroad last December, was
brought to n conclusion last Saturday evening, by a
verdict for the plaintiff for $1,000: The evidence of
which showed very clearly, that the locomotive was
very old one, and the boilers very thin !;
that frequently complaints made of their cond-
ton, as ceing entirely unfit for Pieces of the
boiler were exhibited to the jury. They as thin
old dime pieces. 1t also proved that Jacob
Hubgh, the deceased, was ON excellent engineer, ex-
perienced. skilful. and very prudent
Judge Buchanan charged that there no doubt
abou, the laws authorizing the plaintiff to recover in
such case if the fact established the damages.
The jury, after retiring ten minutes, returned with
verdict for plaintiff of $1,000. The plaintiff is a
poor German woman, with two children. This is,
we believe. the only that has occurred in
this country, where the wife has recovered damages
for the loss of her husband.-N. o. Della, 22nd.
