TROUBLE IN YANCEY.-Since our last issue, two
men have been killed in Yancey county. A party
from the direction of Iron Mountain made de-
scent upon the settlement and stole horse from
Calvin Garland. He followed them to the Noun
tain where he was murdered by them. The man
who is reported to have killed Garland is named
BurchfelJ. He had concealed himself behind
blind. and shot Garland as he approached.
The other man killed was named Presley, who,
it appears went to the house of the man who
killed him and abused the women. The owner of
the house came in afterwards, learned the facts,
followed and shot him.-Ashecile Ne1cs.

Substance of Remarks of MIR. Eaton

Of Warren, upon the subject Of Property quail
ifcatiOn IN members Of the House Of Commons.
Mr.. Eaton, in reply to Mr. Settle, OF Rocking
ham, who had insisted that all of the dangerous
and miscellaneous measures which had been adop-
ted in Republics, ancient or modern, had origina-
ted with the wealthy classes of society, strenuOusly
contested the truth of the assertion, and stated
that, in the Roman republic the agrarian laws,
which were intended to plumber the rich, certainly
did not originate with them that the plumber of
the provinces for the benefit of the soldiers, did
not originate with the wealthy class and that all
of those who engaged in the Catallnian con-
spiracy were insolvents. He also insisted that in
ancient Greece, extreme and violent measures were
advocated by the masses, more than by men of
property. He also said that, in the republic of
Mexico if a country much distinguished for
anarchy deserved the name of a Republic its ire
uuent and bloody revolutions had their origin
among men of desperate fortunes.
In relation to the United States, he also denied
that ultra, dangerous, radical measures had
been set on foot by men of large estates, or that
the difficulties which had involved the country in
the late bloody war, were to be attributed entire
ly or chiefly, to men of wealth, North or South
He remarked that the most dangerous legislators
whom he had ever known in the Capitol, at Raj
cigh at Washington City, and in every part of the
United States, were men of desperate fortunes and
utterly insolvent. In the course of his remarks
he spoke favorably OF the yeomanry OF the coun-
try.
Mr. E. also argued in favor of the property quail
ificatiOn, as protection to poor men themselves,
most of whom do not aspire to sit in the General
Assembly and only desire protection for their per-
sons and property He said that when member
of the Legislature is the owner of property he will
be more apt to avoid oppressive taxation, mas
much as he will bear himself portion of those
burdens which he lays upon the shoulders OF
