THE RAILROAD CONTROVERSY.-ltl is the worst
sign we have noticed for the management OF the
North Carolina Railroad, that the democratic pa
pers with scarcely exception, keep from their
readers a knowledge of the facts brought to light
by the Committee of the Legislature, and the
subsequent publications, pro and con. They not
only do that but they sneer at this and other pa
pers which have considered it but respectful to the
Committee and the Legislature to give fair hear
ing to the Report of its labors x *"-Fdyette-
ellie Observer.
As one of the democratic papers - we are al
WAYS ready to answer for ourselves. We do not
sufficiently appreciate the motives which prompted
the investigation of the affairs of the n. Z Road
as to cause us to publish the lengthy Report ofthe
investigating committee, nor do we admire Mr.
Fisher and his management of the work enough to
publish his reply to said Report, to the exclusion
of almost everything else from our paper for three
or four weeks. We would not publish part with
out the whole, or one side without the other-this
at the start, would have occupied several columns
besides the rejoinders which have followed and
will follow would occupy much space more. But
we have not sneered at wing papers tor publishing
these things (athough we believe the most of them
do so with the hope of making political capital for
their party)-they may publish what they please;
that's their business, not ours.
Mr. Worth was not proper person to put on
the committee of investigation-rumor says there
has existed enmity between the Fisher and Worth
families for many years past, and If this is So we
think and others think, it would have been better
to have left him off such committee 1t is
little strange that Mr. Worth could find nothing
in Mr. Fishers whole official course to approve.
The committee was appointed to investigate oil
the affairs of the North Carolina Railroad, but 1t
appears only Mr. Fishers conduct was examined
into, and that of his predecessor passed over Why
was this? 1t is right and proper to examine the
affairs of all corporations where the State is inter
ested, but in this it looks like one-slded IN
vcstigatiOn.
We have said nothing on this subject heretofore,
and would not aude to the matter now but for the
purpose of justifying the course we thought pro-
per to pursue from the beginning of this "Rallroad
controversy"

Editor Democrat: Since the adjournment of
the Legislature, this village Getty, people call
it, has been the dullest place imaginable. When
to talk about and look at, but that they have
gone, the only way to keep the blues off is to drink
sugar and water fxings" and attend candy stercs
It may be interesting to some people to know that
Chickens turkeys, beet, potatoes, whskey, brandy,
and other necessaries of life cheaper now than
when that host of carniverous individuals occu-
pied the State House. But they have gone and
the places here that knew them once will never
know some of them again. So mote it be.
Your friend Capt. Lawrence, of the City Hotel
is still jogging along in his quiet, peaceable way
always ready to give his customers something good
to eat; for which of course they expected to
pay reasonable price and behave themselves.
The Literary Board and Internal Improvement
Board met here last week, and the handsomest
man in the West and the ugliest man in the East
were in attendance. They met for the purpose of
supervising the States interest in swamp lands,
railroads and the common school fund. You may
depend upon it, the ladies are always glad to see
interesting gentlemen as it is not often they get
glimpse of anything above medocrity here.
Gov. Ellis is enjoying good health, and is popu-
lar in his private well public intercourse.
Mr. Courts, the nevertiring Courts is really grow
ing old on the money question, and suppose it is
hard matter for him to think about anything else
than how the funds Of the State can be managed
to the best advantage. He makes good officer;
and really it is more honorable to be an honest
Treasurer than to hold all the Offices within the
gift of the people.
