REMARKS OF MR.. HUMPHREY,

Of O,aszo,c, delirerea in the House Of Commons on
the Resolution in tauor Of B. H. Stammire
Mr.. Humphrey said that he did not rise for the
purpose of defending the report which minority
of the committee had instructed him to make. lie
merely desired to place himself and those who act
cd with him, right before the House; for although
the report had been printed, and, he thought, was
explicit yet the gentleman from Wayne mr. Thomp'
SOM seemed to misapprchend the position taken by
the minority. They did not recognise the claim Of Mr.
Stammire to the land in question, nor did he think
Mr. Stammirc had any right to it whatever the re-
port expressly states that in the opinion of the Com
mittee "thc claim of B. II. Stam,nhe, as pensioner,
is good and valid ;" and upon this point the mlnorl
ty occupy the same position that the gentleman from
Arson does. They never thought that Mr.. STAN
mire had any right to the land in question, and IN
that opinion they sustained by the decision Oh
the Supreme Court.
The gentleman from Wayne asks him what right
had the Committee to recommend that the sum OF
S542 be refunded to Mr.. Stammire, when he had not
asked it? And further says that if nc be alloWeds
part why not allow him the whole amount (Sl1oo)
which he had expended in prosecuting his suit!
The Committee desired to do Mr.. Stammlre JUS
tice, whether it was asked by him or some members
of the Committee. They thought it was due to him
to refund the amount which, in their opinion, was
right because he had been led into error by tne
Legislature in prosecute ng the suit But since tne
gentleman from Wayne had informed him that Mr.
Stammre did not ask it, he therefore, moved that
that clause which recommends that he be refunoeo
the sum of $542 be- strickenout.

The truth that Notwithstanding all the restrictions

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

meeting of the citizens of Milton and its vicinity
was held in Temperance Hall on Tuesday evening
the 9th inst, when John Wilson, ESQ., was called to
the Chair and Geo. w. Thompson, Esq, appointed
Secretary.
The chairman having explained the object of the
meeting, upon motion, Mcssrs. G. A. Smith, j. r.
Mclean, G. H. Richmond, Dr. j. Wilson, and NJ
McGehee were appointed a committee to draught
resolutions for its action, who thereupon reported
the following, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That the citizens of Milton and of Cas-
well here assembled, have heard with lively satisfac
ton of the Bill introduced into the Senate of the
General Assembly, having for it's objecta Connection
uhrough the County Of CaswelD between the Cen.
trail Rail Road of this State and the Richmond and
Danville r. Road, and that he thanks of this meet
ing be and they hereby rendered to the Hon.
Samuel P. Hill, for introducing said bill.
Resolred, That the line of connection contempla-
ted in this Bill stands distinguished over every rival
linc not only as being the nearest and most direct
between the towns of Greensboro and Richmond,
and most eligible from the remarkable absence of all
distractions to such an undertaking-thus at once,
securing the great points of economy of construction,
economy of time, cheap fares to the traveller and
cheap rates to the producer-but as traversing
country unsurpassed by any of equal extent for
wealth. population, enterprise, the variety and value
of its productions, and presenting therefore, the
strongest claims to liberal legislation.
Reselue1, That in the opinion of this meeting the
Representatives of all sections of the State in behalf
of this line, as we'll by the consideration of State
pride-since it would be the means Of building up
two towns within her own borders and no other
yet suggested touches any-as that ofjustce, since
the County of Caswe Zone of the largest taxpaying)
has derived no benefit from>any State improvement,
and since Internal Improvement as system in this
State is mainly due to the influence and votes of one
of her own distinguished sons.
Resozoed, That the Secretary be instructed to
communicate to Mr. Hill copy of these resolutions.
Resolred, That copy Of these resolutions be
transmitted to the members of the House Of Com
mons from this County, with request to urge the
passage of said Bill through the House. and to the
members of the Legislature from the county Of Per
son, with request to lend their influence to this
measure as being in all respects identified with the
people of Caswell in interest and situation.
Resozped, That copy be sent to The Chronicle,
the Raleigh Standard and Register, with request
to publish. .>lsss. s ~
