CAREIESSNESS

Scarcely a week passes By, says the Spar
tanburg Express, without the record of a
death or serious injury having befallen
some one, through their negligence in obey
ing the Oft-repeated remonstrance-the i'm
propriety of jumping on railroad cars while
in motion. The following, from the Caro-
lima Times of Monday, is another instance
of the careless disposition manifested by
the travelling public:
"a few days since, the Rev. E. c. Thorn
ton, an eminent minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, was killed by be-
ing crushed by railroad train. Mr.. Thorn
ton was on journey to see his relations
residing at Madison, Wisconsin. He had
arrived at the Fulton depot, and had left
the cars for a few minutes, and while at
tempting to get in, he lost his foothold and
fell the wheels of the cars passing over
both legs, and crushing them terribly
Amputation was resorted to, but the sufferer
almost Immediately expired. He was pre-
siding elder in the district in which he lived"

Wilmington, cHARLoTTErAND
RUTHERFORD RAILROAD.

We are INDEBTED to Messrs. w. r. Myers
and w. F. Davidson, of Mecklenburg, for
copies of the bill now before the Legislature
for amending the charter of the Whining
ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad.
The Cd section and part of the Sd, is
as follows:
''SEC. 2. Be IL further enacted, That the
said company shall not be required to con-
struct said road, through the corporate
limits of all or any of the towns named in
the charter; provided, however, that the
road OF said company shall not cross the
North Carolina Railroad farther north or
east than the town of Concord, in the conn
~ of Cabarrus.
SEC. 3. BE IL further enacted, That the
said road shall consist of two great divisions:
the eastern commencing at the temporary
or other eastern terminus, and terminating
at Charlotte or the North Carolina Rail-
road &c.
1t will be seen that the abore amendment
grants the privilege to the Company of
changing the location of the Road, for the
purpose, we suppose, of getting bids from
other sections in the way of subscriptions.
The original charter, we think, directs that
the Road shall pass through the town of
Charlotte. The authorities of Charlotte
have made subscription to the Road of
twenty-five thousand dollars, and any action
that would change the Road from the town
would be unjust and unfair. The second
section, and the words ''or the North Caro-
lima Rdilr0ad' in the third section, we
hope will be stricken out.
We don't know, but it seems to us that
an amendment changing the location in
any particular will release the subscribers
who have heretofore taken stock.
We understand the bill was prepared by
Mr. Guion, President of the Road, and Mr.
Mcares of Brunswick county.
p. S.-Since the above was in type, we
learn that the Committee to whom the bill
was referred. struck out the above obiec-
tionable clause, and reported favorable on
the amendment.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, on Monday, Dec. LIST, a
bill to pay Jurors in the counties of Onslow,
Jones and BERTHE, was amended by adding
Mecklenburg, and recommitted to the com
mittee on the Judiciary, with instructions to
report general law on the subject, if they
thinks it expedient.
In the House, Mr. Davidson introduced a
bill for the payment of tails jurors in the
County of Meckleburg, which was referred
to the appropriate committee. On motion
of Mr. Matthews, the bill giving Courts of
law jurisdiction over read estate was indefi-
nitely postponed.
In the Senate, Tuesday ID, Mr. W. r.
Myers presented memorial from a Com
mittee of Trustees Of Davidson College,
relative to that Institution, which was read
ard referred to committee on corporations.
Mr. Myers also introduced bill to amend
the charter of Davidson College, which was
referred to the same Committee. The In
stitution is prohibited by its charter, which
was passed in 1888, from holding property
exceeding two hundred thousand dollars,
and the bill proposes to amend the 10th
section of the charter, so as to allow the In
stitution the benefit of very liberal dona-
ton made by the last will and testament of
Maxwell Chambers, decd; also, that the
State and University convey their right
and title in and to said estate, (if in law
they have any to the Trustees of David
son College. The Committee reported favor
able, and recommended the passage of the
bill. We publish the report of the commit
tee in another column.

position that another duel was on the taps
proves to have been correct Charles
Irving, of the Lynchburg Republican, it
appears, took exception to an article in the
December number of Harper's Magazine,
written by Mr. BagIy, of Lynchburg, and
sent him a challenge. The parties came to
Washington, and this morning proceeded
to Bladensburg; Mr. Irving accompanied by
Messrs. Pryor, Bocock and Reitt, and Mr.
Bagly by w. G. Carrie, w. L. Blanchard
and Mr. Latham. On their arrival at the
grounds, the matter was amicably adjusted
without shot.

LATE FROM KANsAs.-Advices from
Kansas state that Geary has taken measures
to re-capture the prisoners recently escaped
from Lecompton.
The Grand Jury having found true bills
against several pro-slavery men, public
meeting had been called, over which
Surveyor General Calhoun presided. At
this meeting Geary and his inquisitorial
courts were repudiated and denounced, and
a call issued for the law and order men to
meet at Leavenworth on the 1st of Dec.
Col. Titus gives notice to all persons wishing
to go to Nicaragua, to rendezvous at st.
Louis until the 10th December, when a
free passage will be offered. He says after
the settlement of the Central American
question, it is General Walkers purpose to
turn his attention to Cuba.

THE CHINESE WAR.--A pitch battle
came off on Saturday morning last at the
Rock River Branch, in Stanislaus county,
California. The Hongkong Chinese came
down to the Rock River Branch, pitched
their camp and challenged the Canton Chi
nese to a fight. The challenge was accept
ed. On Saturday morning the parties pre-
pared for battle the Hongkongs were be-
ing armed with war clubs, spears, and
other Chinese weapons, among which the
gong was prominent feature-but the Can
ton men showed some degree of civilization
by tho use of muskets. The parties met,
when the Canton men poured volley of
musketry on the Hongkongs, which killed
their chief and two others, when the Hong
kongs ingloriously fed. The Canton men
exhausted their vengeance upon the dead
chieftain by cutting him up in a thousand
pieces. The whole number engaged in the
fight was seventeen hundred None of the
Canton men were injured. 1t was very
unfortunate battle, as so few were killed
About 5000 Americans witnessed the fight,
as due notice of the battle had been given,
so as to give the miners chance to witness
the sight. The officers of the law under
took to stop the fight, but they could do
nothing. One of them had his horse shot
from under him. The Chinese worriers
have all dispersed.

4 Man WHIPPED TO LIFE.-An intern
perate man named Stanley attempted to
commit suicide at Newark, n. j., on
Sunday, by taking large dose of laudnum,
which rendered him insensible. The
Newark Advertiser says:
A physician was called, who decided that
the only means of restoring animation was
to give the subject a severe beating, which
was done by two men with heavy switches
for a quarter Of an hour, when signs of a
returning animation were shown, and the
patient sat up. A glass of brandy was then
given him, when he fell to sleep, and the
beating process was resumed until he was
fully restored to consciousness He is now
comparatively well, except some suffering
from the bruises received from the extraor-
binary course of sprouts" to which he was
subjected. This is the first case we ever
heard of where a man was whipped to life
from a state bordering On death. Gases Of
whipping to death occasionally occur. but
cases of chipping to life seldom or never,

DAVIDSON COLLEGE

The Trustees of this Institution having
petitioned the Legislature to amend their
charter, Mr.. w. R. Myers introduced bill
to meet their wishes, which was referred to
the committe on corporations. Wepubish
below the report of the committee:
The Committee on Corporations to whom
was referred the memorial of the Trustees
of Davidson College, and also the Bill enti-
tied "a Bill to Amend an act to incorpor-
ate Davidson College, passed in the year
1885," have had the same under considera-
ton, and respectfully report, that said in
stitution was incorporated in 1888, by the
name and style of the Trustees of David
son College," and that the 10th section of
the charter did not permit the institution to
hold property exceeding in value two hun
dred thousand dollars, sum not more than
sufficient to provide libraries, philosophical
apparatus and buildings suitable for Col
lege of the first class.
Your committee further report, that Max
well Chambers, Esq, late of the town of
Salisbury, in his last will in a testament,
dated the 18th day of January, 1854, made
a very liberal donation to the Trustees of
Davidson College, but that the institution,
in consequence of the above restriction in
its charter, will, TO a considerable extent,
be deprived of their bounty of the testator,
unless relief shall be afforded by the Gen
eral Assembly. Your committee are of the
opinion, that the relief asked for in the me-
mortal which has been referred to them.
ought not to be denied.
The provisions of the will of Mr.. Cham
bers manifests high degree of iberality
and public spirit; a love of virtue, science,
and learning: and warm feelings of benevo-
lence and philanthropy. It whould be
subject of regret to every person of intelli
gence and liberal views if the praiseworthy
efforts of the testator in the cause of edu-
cation should be defeated by reason of the
difficulties already mentioned in this report.
Your committe regard the institution itself
as a merritorious and useful one, and when
it asks for nothing but permission to enjoy
the fruits of private liberality, your COM
mttee are of the opinion that justice and
wise and enlightened policy require that its
prayers should be readily granted. Your
committee are further of the opinion that it
would be proper, under all Of the circum-
stances of this case, for the State to release
and convey to the Trustees of Davidson
College, all of her right and title, and that
of the University, (if in law either of them
have any right or title.) in and to the estate
and effects, given, or attempted to be given,
in the will of the said Maxwell Chambers,
to said institution. The memorial itself
contains no prayer for this last mentioned
relief, but it has been suggested to your
committee by intelligent friends of the in
stitution, and it appears to them to be adj
visable and probably necessary. Your
committee therefore recommend the passage
of the bill with the accompanying amend
ments.
