The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1868-02-12

We take pleasure in publishing the
following letter, which will explain
itself:
TOWNSVILLE, n c., Jan. 90. 1868.
Editors Of the Standard:
In the columns of the Sentinel" of Sept.
Both, 1867, appeared a communication over
my signature in which reference was made
to VIM. T. Henderson, Agent of the Freed
mems Bureau" having filed the iron clad
OATH with exceptions, etc, and that at the
time doubted the correctness of this state
ment, as also the Legality Of the tranaction.
l now desire to state that have given
the matter above referred to, thorough eranai-
mutton, and find that the exceptions therein
specified were acceptable, and considered
perfectly legal on the part of the United
States Government. and that as far as Mr..
Henderson is concerned in the transaction,
the forethought manifested by him in filing
those exceptions were timely and honorable,
and, in my opinion, are worthy of common
dation. rather than disapprobation.
make this correction in Justice to Col.
Henderson. as l am averse to doing injustice
to any individual.
l have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your obdt servant,
JOHN T. CRANlER.
Also, the following from late num-
Der of the Sentinel, which does justice
to Col. Henderson in relation to
charge maliciously and falsely made
against him. "Truth is omnipotent,
and public justice certain" No public
man in the State has been more bitterly
assailed than Col. Henderson. Con-
scious of his integrity, he has borne
these assaults like man, and instead
of having injured him they have but
endeared him the more to his Repub-
lican friends.
W. F. HENDERSON OF DAvIDsoN.-Some-
time in the month of October last, we stated
in the Sentinel, as an item of news, furnish
ed us by responsible gentleman who had
been in attendance at the Superior Court of
Davidson County, that, during tie term,
W. +. Henderson, of that County, had been
indicted, by the Grand Jury, for stealing a
mule. At that time we had no doubt of
the correctness of the Indictment, and that
the prosecution would be Just and proper
otherwise, we should not have published the
item. ...-
We now take pleasure in saying, that,
from the facts presented to our considcra-
ton, on yesterday, by Mr.. Henderson, and
corroborated by D. Loftin. Esq, the former,
if not the present, Sheriff of Davidson, we
believe Mr. Henderson to have been ma
llciously and falsely accused in this instance.
1t appears that one Henry Dorr, of David.
son, had amule stolen from him, by white
man named jeremiah Glover. of Rowan, in
1865 or So; that in 1866 said Glover was
arrested, through the agency of Henderson,
to whose brother he had sold the mule, was
indicted IT. Davidson Court, and was con-
victed In the Superior Court of Forsythe,
whittier he had removed the case, and was
punished according to law. Henderson al
lodges that this same Dorr, because OF per-
sonal spite, was the person who caused his
presentment for the same offence for which
Glover had been convicted before the Grand
Jury at the late fall term in Davidson.
The Bankrupt Law of the United
States, with general orders and forms,
is the title of book edited by Avery
and Hobbs, of Boston.
The merit of the book is, that it takes
the statute as it stands and arranges
the notes and references so as to pre-
sent the leading cases under their APP
propriate heads.
The act is divided into sections; each
section is preceded by abstracts of the
contents and followed by explanatory
notes and adjudged cases. 1t is one of
the most convenient books of references
we haye seen.
