The North Carolina Railroad and the
Live Giraffe.
We have received from President Smith
the following letters for publication, which
show very plainly the motives which in
duced the proprietors of the Lioe Giraffe to
attack the management of the North Carroll
ma Railroad. Those papers who were ma
licious enough to copy the article from the
Giraffe will now feel ashamed. Without
further comment we give the letters-the
first one being written before the attack was
made, the latter afterwards:

distinct charges are placed against the name
of d. Denmesd, young gentleman Of Bal
timore, OF the highest family connections
and OF large wealth. His case, indeed, veri-
ties that oft-proven old admonition that the
way of the trausgressor is hard. Three years
ago he built the distilleres on James river
known as the Hewlett House and the Ben
Franklin. For a time fortune smiled upon
him and he was on the broad road to be a
millionaire. He was wealthy then. He lost
$50 ,Otc by his venture-he lost all he had
previously made-his distilIery was seized
all ruined by his associates Parish, Clarkson
and Clendenning These three men, afler
the government had seized the distilleries,
turned States evidence and sent Patterson,
Gouldman and their associates (Revenue
oficers) TO the penitentiary- they have un-
ceasingiy prosecuted Denmead, and now he
too, has been indicted by the Grand Jury
for completely in assisting Patterson, Gould
man and the others in defrauding the reye-
nue., and now stands in the attitude Of an
indicted criminal. The way of the trans
gressor is hard indeed.
