g! A CURIOUS ATTEMPT AT RAIL
ROAD, SWINDLING.-One Of the
most curions attempts at railroad
swindling on record has just been
unearthed in Iowa. A year or
two ago the. Dubuque, Bellevue

ny was organized, and two books
were opened for stock subscrip
tons -one at Dubuqe and one at
Bellevue. subsequently the Office
at Bellevue was removed, but
the book was left in charge of
Judge Kelso, banker in that
town. One day a certain Thos.
Finn called upon Judge Kelso,
and managed to start some ques-
ton, which necessitated the pro.

ductiOn Of the book. The Judge
was called out for moment, and
Finn took the book and decamp-
ed. A congenial spirit, d. "A.
Mahoney by name, was found,
and the two preceded to enter a
subscription of S150,00O, but
omitted to pay single cent there
on. Having thus nonlinally be-
come stockholders, they elected a
board of directors, and proceeded
to ballot for officers, with the
following result: President, Ma

Finn, This done they sued the
company for the costody of the
other books and documents. AS
nonefort wasmade to- buy them
of, their object was not attained
but they had one resort yet. AS

DEATH OF WIN. Il. WALTER, ESQ
The community will be panied to learn the
death of this well known and highly es-
teemed citizen of Columbia.
Mr.. Walters health has been declining
for a long time, his disease being of the
heart, and last week he was carried To
CIeaveland Springs, in North Carolina, in
the hope that the change would be bene-
fetal, but h dispatch received in this city
yesterday from Charlotte, announces that
he was dead and temporarily buried on
Thursday at the Springs.
Mr.. w. was born and raised i'll Column
bia, and had resided here all his life. He
served the city acceptably as an Alderman
for several terms, and was a public spirited
and useful citizen.-COiunbiH South Car

The only persons in North Carolina now
banned are Hons. w. A. Graham, Il. b.
Vance, Burton Craige, w. n. III. Smith
and Generals d. III. Hill and Robert Ran
som.
1t is remarkable with how little thought
newspaper publishers give circulation to
such items as the above, which we find i'll
city contemporary, and have seen in seve-
raj of our State exchanges. There is bard
iy town of any size in North Carolina,
in which there is not one or more persons
ssnow banned" For instance i'll Whining
ton we recall Captain j. y. MAFFITT,
Major J. II. HILL, Captain F. II. CAME
RON, aud probably others, WHO are still
within the prescriptions Of the Fourteenth
Amendment. We can recall the names OF
many others throughout the State.
According to our recollection the Hon.
W. n. III. SMITH does not come within the
exceptions to the Amnesty act, but is re-
lieved thereby. Colonel IL. NJ. SHAW was
the member OF the Both and 9Th Congress
from the First District, we think, but in
this we may be mistaken.
