yEro or A TEMPERANCE BILL.
The New York papers publish the
Message Of Governor eymour, OF that
State, returning to the New York Sc
nate, with his objections, the tempe
rance bill. The message presents the
principal objections urged against the
measure, which are, in substance, as
follows:
That the right Of the citizen to be
secure from unreasonable seaches,
which is guaranteed TO him by the con-
stitution, is violated By The provisions
Of the Hill, which authorises, merely
for the sake Of discovering evidence
of the possession of intoxicating Ii
quors, intrusions and searches in do
micils, which il is not now lawful To
break open and enter, even in case OF
murder and other heinous crimes.
That the seizure Of liquors, followed
BY their forfeiture and destruction, as
directed By the bill. is contrary to
that provision Of the constitution which
forbids the taking Of private property
without compensation and due pra>
cess Of law"
That, contrary to the constitution.
the bill compels persons suspected Of
offences against IFS provisions to be-
come witnesses against themselves.
That the bill providesfor pronouncing
sentence against persons suspected OF
being concerned in the sale Of intoxi>
eating liquors. without the complete
prouf which, in other criminal cases,
is always required by law.
! That the extreme severity OF the
provisions Of the bill will prevent its
due execution in many places. make i
difficult everywhere. anil finally, 10 all
probability. lead to the general neglect
Of its enforcement,
i The tiovernOr also asserts his own
belief that " habits Of intemperance
cannot be extirpated By prohibitory
laws )" that temperance. like other
virtues, is not produced BY the law
makers, but. BY the influence of educa-
linn, morality. and religion"
The Senate on Saturday refused to
pass the bill over the veto of the Go>
vernor, 50 that it cannot become a
law.
NoRru CARoLlsA CENTRAL RArLRoAp.
We learn by friend from HiIlsbo>
rough, that Gov. M0rchead, the able
and energetic President Of this road,
passed through Ilillsbnrough few days
since on his way below, to make ar.
engagements to have the track laid to
that place; anil he expects that it will
be completed BY the middle of Novem-
Der next, SO that the cars can come up
from Goldsbnrough, by way Of Raleigh,
as far as Iiillsborough.
i Now is the time for us to stir our
selves to build the proposed Plank
Road, 10 connect with the Railroad at
that place. This is a work which will
greatly benefit the citizens on the line,
and which they can aud ought by all
means toIcnmmence and prosecute to
an early completion. Hillsborough,
we believe. will do her part will not
the citizens residing on and near the
route do theirs? We trust they will.
Million Spectator.
/ ARREST FOR MuRDrR.-We undcr-
stand that Joseph Williams, one Of the
sons Of Francis Williams, deceased,
has been arrested and committed to
the Jail Of Caswcll County, N. c., on
the charge Of being the murderer Of
his father. We have not been able TO
learn the evidence given in before the
committing magistrates, which induced
the commitment. Juscph Williams is
young man some twenty two or three
/ years Of age, and was. the only white
member Of the family residing with his
deceased father at the time Of the MUIR
der. We understand that the Magis-
trates have also committed one Of the
negroes belonging to the estate of the
deceased, as being implicarcd in the
'iufuer. DinriAe Reg.
We understand that the Fair Gounds-
arc being leveled and beautified, and
that numerous buildings, Traditional,
Will be erected FOR the storage Of arti-
cies brought for exhibition. We doubt
not, the next Agricultural Exhibition
N this State will equal the expecta-
tons Of the most sanguinc. God speed
the farming interest, say We.
