The Oak-City Guards Lectures.

This praseworthy undertaking, on the part of the
gentlemen composing this fine volunteer corps, to
enliven these law-fabricating times with some
thing substantial in the way of general ltera.
ture and science, was responded to, glad to
announce, by large and intelligent auditory, OIL
Monday evening last.
The first Lecture of the series was delivered on
that occasion, in the Hall of the House of Commons
(the use of which was generously ganted for that
purpose by the LegislatureO by the distinguished
President of our University, Hon. David L. Swain,
LII. D. The subject of the lecture the Geo.
graphical and Physical History Of North Carolina ;"
and Gov. SWANS treatment of it was universally
commended. For ourself we must say that n
more interesting and instructive discourse never
listened to. Gov. Swain has been for many years
engaged in giving to the airy nothngness" of the
early history of State d" local habit alton and
name; y and his effort of Monday night proves him
competent to the undertaking. We regret that the
crowded state of our columns will not admit of a
more extended notice.
The next lecture, understand, will shortly be
delivered by Prof Hubbard, who will be follow.
ed by other distinguished gentlemen. We would
suggest that these Lectures be given semi monthly
instead Of monthly, at least during the session of
the Legislature. At this season, there is always a
fully patronize them-offered they at half the
charge for admittance invariably made elsewhere
Lectures of the description indicated novel and
untried experiment with u.s. and the commencement
is very satisfactory.

Whitfield of Kansas, asking that he be sworn in as
a member. Mr.. Grow objected, contending that the

lation of the constitution and organic law. Mr..
Phelps contended that Mr. WI hitfied entitled to
admission he presented prima facie evidence Of
his election, and there no one here who could
contest his right to the seat. He hoped the creden
tials would not be referred to the committee of elec
tions on whose report the House could not act with
justice.
The question was put on the motion to admit Mr..
Whitfield and decided in the negative by seven ma
jority. Mr. Grow moved to reconsider the VOTE and
