The following correspondence reached us on Tuesday of last week and was un- avoidably postponed:
 MIR. EDTroR:-I wrote an article a few weeks ago denouncing case of road steal ing and tampering with the ehighway where in the grade was materially increased. and the fence set out about feet reaching in to the old road-bed, which was published in the Salisbury paper. The next week one ''Fair Play" published m article in the same paper denying my statements, thereby casting an imputation upon my veracity. My reply to him said paper de- clines to publish. without giving any good reason for it.
 If yOu are not atraid to allow yo,.r col umns to be used in favor of law, order and truth, I ask small space for few remarks in reply to "Fair Play", Such portion of his article as were mere expres- sions of his own private opinion pass over as in nowise having any bearing on the question. But in reply to my state ment that the grade of the road has been increased, he says Git has been lessened'' which is about as cool thing as I ever saw, inasmuch as the road is there to show for itself that the grade has been increased by not less than feet in a distance of ten rods. Again he says that 'she consulted with his friends and neighbors and they advised him that he had just and legal right to fence in the highway" We'll, Mir. Editor, you are lawyer, what doyou think of this new statute? He intimates in his article that this '.iust and legal right" came from the deed of the proper ty. deny that any individual has any right to deed away the highway and any such provision in deed is null and void and furthermore deny that any individ- ual has any legal right to manipulate the highway for his own benefit or to fence in any portion of it for his own personal use. Am right or is ''Fair Playp" Again, prominent man of this town, ''aneighbor" and by far the most competent of 'shis'' immediate ''nsighbors" to give legal ad- vice, assures me that hewas never consult ed and had had he been, should never have given such ridiculous advice, and furthermore considered the whole pro- ceeding gross violation oflaw. And now one word to IF. P.". You hsve made statements which if true would shut up every road in the State, sfthsy are ttsie. produce tie lasOl AsAx.

lic plsee vould insurs great caution. in making recommendations saln,ALy ls.. si.. son has been taught the careless ana tns dishonest public servant in the grsns na,n- Ial ber of prosecufions end convictions ox tne last two years. 1t is gratifying to nQuce fhe favorable chauuew which is taking gpiaces thronohont fhe country, in bringing to unnisRment those who have proven recre- ant to the trust confaed in them, and m eleyatin0 to public office none but those who possess the confidence Of the honest and virtuous, who. it willalways De found. comprise the majority of the community in which they live. In ny message 70 Congress one year ago urgently recon. mended reform in the civil service or the country. In conformity with that recommendation Congress, in the nintn section of an act making appropnation for sundry civil expenses of the gover, ment and for other purposes, approved March 8, 1871, gave the necessary autno., ity to the executive to inaugurate civn service reform, and placed upon nun tne responsibility of doing SO under author. ifv of said act | convened board of ceutlemen. emineptly qualified for the work. to devise rules and regulations to effect the needed reform. Their labors are not yet complete, but it is believed that they will succeed in devising plan which can be adopted to the great relief of the executive, the heads of departments and members of Congress, and which will rebound to the true interest of the public
 service. At all events, the experiment shall have fair trial.
 I CONCLUSION.
 have thus hastily summed up the op-
 erations of the past year, and made such 1 suggestions as occur to me to be proper
 for your consideration. I submit them
 with confidence that your combined ac-
 tion will be wise, statesinanlike, and in the
 best interest of the whole country.

THE first word in contradiction of the
Jef. Davis sleeping-car story we see, is
from the Louisville Courier-Jowndl of the
18th, which came to hand yesterday. 1t
does not pretend to know anything of the
facts, but ventures to deny it upon the
strength of the general good character of
the ex-President, and upon the irnproba-
bilities of the story. AS against this we
have, first, the high character Of the Lou
isville Commercial fer veracity and pru-
dence second, the details of the facts,
with the names of several railroad men,
some of them officers of the Memphis and
Charleston Road and third, the fact that,
including the Memphis Avalanche of the
18th, not one word in contradiction APP
pears. 1t seems to us that, with the names
and official position of the railroad officers
before them, it would be an exceedingly
simple thing for the Memphis papers to
find out the facts, and we are ready to be-
lieye that in such case they would feel at
least interest enough IN, the character of
their leader to enquire into the charges.
But we will in all probability soon have
the other version of the affair. Mr.. Davis
passed through this city yesterday, read
the account of the affair as republished in
the CHRoN1CIE, and fit is false he will
probably take AN, early opportunity to
DENY If -
