ted against the repeal of the Missouri restricton-a
restriction that unconstitutional and degrading

A LOST BnL-We have received several letters
from members of the last Legislature and 9TH
ers, making enquiries about bill, alleged to have
been passed at the late session. to charter the North
Carolina and Virginia Railway. The Secretary of
State is confident that no such law ever came into
his Office and in this the Journals sustain him. On
page 4s7 of House Journal, we find that the bill
Senate bill 1897 was passed and ordered to be en-
rolled. This was the last day of the session. On
pages 400 and 493 we find list Of bills that were
ratified by the Speaker, but this bill does not appear
among them. On page 81 of Senate Journal we
also find list of bills ratified by the Speaker the
same day Uhe last one of the SESSION. and the N.
c. and Va. Railway bill is not among them. 1t is
therefore evident that the bill never ratified.
All persons acquainted with such matters know
that there is always much hurry and confusion at
the close of session of the Legislature and that if
those having charge of or peculiar interest in
bill, do not follow it up and see it enrolled and rati
fed, it is apt to be laid aside and mixed up with
mass of Z" unfinished business"
Had those who took an interest in this bill been
ready to follow it up and it 60 through all the
formalities required, as some of them are to cast
censure on others, the bill would have become law
and been printed in the volume of laws

DANIEL R. GooDLoE.-We have received a long
letter from this Emancipatonist" as he prefers to
be called, which we shall not publish. 1t will be
recollected that we noticed the fact week or two
ago. that Mr.. Goodloc was to be connected with
Abolition paper at Washington City. He writes
some sense and much nonsense, and may or may
not be honest in his views. One thing is certain
he is untitled for Southern climate.
He says his chief object is to keep the odium Of
his position from being visited on his relatives and
friends. Let him rest content No body but him
self will be despised. One shabby sheep does not
hurt the rest of the fock and his own sins will not
be visited upon others
