DANvnLE CONNECTION.
On motion of Mr.. Mckay, the House went into
committee of the whole on the Danville bill-Mr.
Badham in the chair.
Mr. Morehead resumed his speech by expressing
his fears that the bill would be talked to DEATH Mr.
NJ spoke upwards of an hour combining himself prin-
cpally to an explanation of his public life presi
dent and director of the North Carolina railroad, Lu
natic Asylum, &c, and defending himself from the
charges brought against him. He made an able and
eloquent speech, enlisting the sympathies of the
House and making some humorous and effective hits
at the opponents of the bill. He made but slight
allusion to the bill under discussion.
Mr. Norwood followed, and made reference to the
case of the editor of the Register and to Mr. More
head, who had called upon him and Mr.. Jones as ev
idence He complained that Mr.. Aorehead had not
set matters right in his illusions to him and Mr..
Jones' and It was his attention to do so. He said
the fact in dispute was ibid or did not Mr.. More
head at Hillsboro' in 1850 abandon the Danville
connection" He stated this was Mr.. Ms bill, which
he had cherished for eight years
Mr.. Simpson denied that it was MI. Moreheads bill.
Mr.. Settle made similar declaration.
Mr.. Norwood proceeded to give statement that
the morning after the Hillsboro' convention, he call
ed to congratulate Mr. Morehead upon his success
the previous day. Mr.. M. then declared l now 60
for the Danville connection, it will not injme the
N. c. road" This expression had made deep inn
preston on his mind at this time, as he knew if it
had been made the previous day that in place Of
$40, 900 not 500 would be subscribed The avow-
al the previous day of giving up the Danville con-
necton was the issue between Mr.. Morehead and
Jones' not with him (Mr. n.y. Nj. N. after com
menting on this statement pr0ceededtO say that r-
NOR ascribed coalition between the friends of this
bill, and the Fayetteville Coalfelds bill
Mr.. Settle asked if it was asserted he was party
to such coalition.
Mr. Norwood said he did not allude to Mr.. Settle
Mr.. Mckay also asked if he was alluded to, and
made some remarks upon the object Of the rumor,
ending by distinctly denying the rumor to be cor
rect 1921. -.
Mr. Norwood declared he mentioned it as rumor.
He accused no person and would not be intimidated
out Of any allusion to it, or allow himself to be
placed in a false position. ,
Mr. Mckay disclaimed any personal imputation
on Mr.. Norwood, but spoke strongly against the
Orignators of the report, and declared It was with
out the slightest foundation. Mr.. Norwood then
entered upon the discussion Of the bill and made
very strong and lucid argument founded upon sta
tistics, against the bill On the conclusion of his
remarks, the committee rose, the chairman reported
progress and requested to be discharged from the
further consideration of the bill sl'st
The question being put the passage of the bill,
it was rejected yeas 81, nays GO.
