ssBankrupt Advertising.o

A little, insignificant country sheet pub
lished somewhere on the low-grounds of
Roanoke river near 'W eldon's old orchard"
and devoted to the interests of the "Lost
Cause" is very much troubled at Judge
Brooks order designating the STANDARD as
the official journal, of the United States
Court for the publication of Bankrupt adj
vertisements. 1t falsely asserts that this
''has been the main, if not the only support"
which has enabled the STANDARD to pursue
its career, and is rejoiced at false rumor
that Judge Brooks had revoked his former
order and given permission to Clerks of
Courts Registers, &C., to publish their no
tees in papers of their own choice aU
Judge Brooks has made no such order, or
given such permission The NORTH CARO-
LIMA STANDARD and the Asheoale Pioneer
alone are tie official journals in North
Carolina e .t3Ht
We are gratified to he able to state that the
STANDARD is not dependent on the patron
age of the United States Government, or the
State Government for support, but is lib
orally supported by the people of the State,
and will doubtless live to publish the obit-
uaries of many little, spiteful, experiments
atjournalism which are eking ont preca.
rious subsistence this State, squirting
venom and dealing in personal abuse Of
gentlemen who exercise the right to think
for themselves. s.gs@ ~. os
The STANDARD will continue to pursue
the even tenorof its way, give Il ie news from
all quarters, discuss public issues in fait
and dignited manner, inform, instruct and
endeavorto improve the con dition of the
people of the State, and as fesc little con.
temptible burlesques on jour nalism drop in.

by the united action of seoerd1 counties to
provide hospitals for the reception and treat
ment of such cases as these under considera-
tion, and others that might be mentioned.
We are surprised that the moral sense of the
public has not long ago demanded correc-
ton of this great evil, but the public is usu--
ally so engrossed with itszown interests that
it has no time to look after the wrongs of a
handful Of poor creatures who have been
slowed away in the almshouse out Of sight,
We conceive this matter of the proper con-
duct of our Poor Houses so important that
we may at some future time resume its con
sideration.. At the present time it is suffi-
cient to have directed public attention to.
some ofthe most prominent Of the evils that
attend the present management of our Poor
Houses under. the old system. As new
system is about to be inaugurated, we hope
that large improvements will also be made,

comes matter of just pride instead Of re-
proach, as it now is. ls55 $50 0sod

important Injunction Case.


A bill was filed on the 29th of December,
by A. J. Galloway, Esq, before His Honor
Judge Watts, at Chambers, for an injunction
restraining David A. Jenkins, Public Treas
urer, from issuing s2,O0o,OOo of State bonds
appropriated by the State Legislature in aid
of the completion of the Chatham Railroad
from the Gulf in Chatham county, to Cheraw
in South Carolina f'A 81.
The case will be argued before Judge
Watts at the Supreme Court Rooms in this
city, on Monday the 4th. We learn the Judges
of the Supreme Court will be invited to sit
with Judge W. in determining the case.
Messrs Fowle, Badger and Haywood ap-
pear for the complainant, and Messrs. Phil
lips, Merrimon, B, F., Moore, W. H. Battle,
X. P. Battle and r. H. Battle, Jr, for the
respondent. F,s. iso 153 lssagsaq sii
The decision of this case involves the
question whether the General Assembly has
the power, under Article V, section of the
State Constitution, to issue bonds OF the
State to aid in the completion of thesOhat-
ham Railroad, without submitting the sub
iect to d direct vote of the people of the
State, while our bonds are below par.
The first OF section evidently means as
it expresses that the " General Assembly
shall have no power to contract any new
debt in behalf of the State, unless it shall
in the same bill levy special tax to pay
the interest annually" which the General
Assembly have already done by special
act ratified the 18th ulfimo.
Under the second part of said section it
provides that "the General Assembly shall
have no power to gice or lend the credit OF
the State in aid of any person, association
or corporation, except to aid in the compile
ton of such Railroads as may be unfinished
at the time of the adoption of the Consti-
tuition or in which the State has direct pc
cuniary interest,"" 5ass1 -
In the first place the General Assembly
has the power under the Constitution to
build new road out and out subscribe
$780,
purposes, provided it provides in the same
bill for the payment of the interest.
Ia the next place it IS admitted that the
Legislature has no right to loan its credit OF
endorse bonds for any new work not already
under charter or process of construction but
this clause has no application to the road in
controversy The Chatham Coalfeld and
Cheraw Railroad is an independent State
work, to build which bonds have been au
thorizcd by the Legislature to be issued ant
the interest provided for-so that we incline
to the opinion that the learned Judges will
have little difficulty in settling the question
to the satisfaction of the public, and tina
our bonds by such a Judicial decision
will command, in market as they deserve,
higher rate.

Gov. Holden and the Railroads.

There seems to be misapprehension as
to the powers of the Governor over the
Railroads in which the State has an interest
The Governor is limited by the Charter of
the Corporations and by the law. He ap-
points Directors and proxies, and there bis
power ceases. It is neithsu his duty nor his
right to interfere in the details of the run-
ming OF the Roads. Whatever opinion he
may have on the sQbiees he has no authority
to regulate treights or to prescribe the. terms
o on which certain Railroad. Companies shall
operate with or against each other. l5issa1
A little fehection will make this plain tn
the eopsmonest understanding. 1t is, there
fore, neither fair aer just to involve Gov.
Holden in controversies between corpora-
tions of the kind referred to.

Christian men must hare rest too.
They do not expect the rest that re-
mains for them here, but after the agitation
and unrest Of eight or ten years they need
rest, 1t is really necessary that after the
storm they may have recourse to their chart
to learnihow far they may have been driven
from the straight path that leads to their
haven. 1t may be very presumptuous il,

this way, and it may make US justly liable in

trusion upon sacred matter, but it isour can
did belief that rest from the outward harass-
ments that have flowed from the evil times
Just passed would result in benefit to the
christian cause. We are bound to say that
the result of this period of unrest and strife
has been very disastrous to christian unity
and greatly marred the peace of the church.
There have been engendered also much bit
terness and alienation incidentally, for which
there was and can be no proper occasion.
Would not rest allay this spirit of bitternesse
Would there not possibly occur opportuni-
ties to revive ancient relationship Would
not the better parts of men re-assert their
pre-eminence so that reconciliations would
follow2 Perhaps, may we be pardoned for
the words, there would in those hours of re-
pose, be time found for self examination that
show cause for repentance. 1t might lead
also to such Judgment, calm and unpreju-
diced Judgment, on the conduct Of brothers
as would show it to be christianlike and be-
coming to forgive real or supposed defects or
inconsistencies. We do not imagine that
we can be in error when we think our chris
tian friends need rest from worldly turmoil,
that some further attention be given to Sc
cure the prosperity of the church. But we
must forbear for this service needs to be per
formed by other pens.
We were in the act of writing that the ladies
must hace rest, but we feel inclined to draw
back from the assertion. We do not know
that they would authorize us to say so much.
Besides, this journal would shrink from
placing them in a false position. We are
still mindful of their efficient services during
the late troublesome times and the encourag-
ing smiles that were, in the recent canvass
bestowed on those who panegyriced treason
and who melted to new rebellion, TO believe
that they require rest We are aware of the
delicate ground on which we treau anu wIr
desist from our purpose of an appeal to the
ladies to aid in giving rest to the tired and
suffering State. Who would not rise up
and call them blessed as the lovely peace
makers should pass about as administering
angels to promote peace among brothers
peace on earth and offer rest to all the weary
sons of toll and wrong. ..-.l -
