There were fifteen absentees when the bill passed
that body, large majority of whom we understood
to be its opponents. We have heard Wing Sena-
tor and more than Wing member of the House,
all of whom voted for the BILL declare their approval
ground that his reasons for refusing his signature
have satisfied them that he is right and they
wrong upon it. These gentlemen come from north
and south. Now, the existence of such opinions
among the original supporters of the measure will
tell Of course, in both Houses whenever it may again
be voted on.
We consider this veto the death of each and every
scheme for the of the public domain i'll any man

SMALL Pox. Some eight ten days ago, a
gentleman, from New York we learn, his way to
the mines in Cabarrus, arrived at this place in the
stage from Raleigh, and being indisposed remained
day 10 recruit He kept close in his room from the
time of his arrival on Saturday night until Sunday
evening" when he left in the stage tor Greensborough
He did not consult any physician here but took some
medicine prescribed by physician in Raleigh, who
had pronounced the disease to be Chicken Pox. He
took the medicine he said, to drive the erup-
ton and when he left Hllsborough his face as very
much inf1amcd On his arrival at the Bland house in
Greensborough, his appearance indicated that he
suffering from Small Pox; and Mr.. Bland, very pro-
perly, Immediately reported the to the Town
Commissioners who removed him to cabin mile
and half from town, where the patiently was made
comfortable as the nature of the case would admit.
These prompt measures, are pleased to learn from
the Patriot, have prevented unnecessary alarm and
little fear is entertained of spread of the contagion
In that town.
Since the above was written we learn through pas
sengers from Greensborough, that after all the
was not one of Small Pox. 1t appears to have been
nothing but chicken poX and understand the
patient dismissed and proceeded to Cabar-
rus H.tLsboro Recorder.
The Greensborough Patriot of Saturday last, after
copying the above, adds:
When the small pox patient dropped in COM
munity he was decidedly ugly looking customer,
and not at all fit for contact with unsuspecting
public. How he looked for some days before he came
here, deponent saith not.
Nobody here doubts but that he has the ANAL
por. And so far from having proceeded to Cabarrus,
he is yet in quarantine, but doing well, his attack
not having been one of the severcst character. We
are happy to say that other case has occurred in
the town neighborhood- thanks to the promptness
and vigilance of our town authorties,-and we conf
IDENTITY hope that none may occur.

- We should be under many obligations if any
one of our Wing contemporaries would direct at
tention to the particular page in the published pro-
ccedings of the Convention of 1885, upon which is
recorded Gen. Dockery's vote, advocacy in any
other manner form for Free Suffrage. He says he
voted for and advocated the principle whilst he was
n member of that body, and Gates his support of it
from that time. Wonder fine voted for Gov. Manly
in 184s when the Governor opposed Free Suffrage
on the stumpD Upon examination of the journal
of the Convention of 1885, we have been unable to
find any line, word syllable that sustains the Gen
eral in his declaration; and until the record is pro-
duced, must in all conscience be permitted, rely
ing on the written evidence before in preference
tc the Generals verbal declaration, to insist simply
that he is mistaken.
