| 1866, having declared by ordinance that all
| debts and obligations created by North Car

| the General Assembly, at it's late session, in

| what are not repudiated, passed an act
making it the duty of Governor Worth to
appoint three discreet persons commits
sioners," whose duty it should be to investi-
gate all claims against the State, incurred
during the war, with power to take testl-
mOny, administer oaths send for persons
and papers, and to adopt such rules and
regulations as they might deem necessary
to enable them to distinguish between claims
created for war purposes. We learn this
morning that the Governor had designated
J. G. Harper, of Caldwell county, Richard
Fl. Battle and H. W. Husteed, of this city,
as Commissioners upon this act, They are
to report all claims, classified, to the next
Legislature.
These selections are judicious. and the
