The National Board of Fire Under
writers at their late meeting in the City
of New York resolved to raise a fund OF
100000 for the detection, conviction
and punishment Of parties engaged in
the nefarious business of incendiarism
and arson. The Executive Committee
of that Board at their meeting on the
fourteenth instant carried out the resO-
luton and opened the subscription.
We hail : this movement as a step in
the righG direction, and commend the
action as one not only likely to benefit
underwriters, but also to protect the
public from Wholesale loss. This action
is more important when il is remem-
bered that the experience of the large
companies transacting the business OF
FIRE insurance in the United States
shows that the proportion of loss TO be
attributed to the above causes is not less
than thiTty-three per cent. of the whole,
or a loss to the country Of at least
twenty-five millions OF dollars per an
num- EVessSag Bulletin.

WESTERN N. C. ROAD.

Commenting on the opposition
made to the sale of the Western
North Carolina Road, the Asheville
Erpositor says: This is, indeed,
strange world. For 100000 the
Eastern Division of the Western N.
C. Railroad, from Salisbury to Ashe-
vile, and the French Broad branch
from Asheville to Paint Rock, is
transferred, Unencun1bered entirely
to the North Carolina Railroad
Company. Out of anxiety on the
part of the Southern Security Com
pany and Mr.. McAden to have the
Western N. G. Road entire, with its
branches, completed as early as
possible, for the benefit of their
other railroad interests connecting
with the same, they consented to
sell the North Carolina Railroad
Company all their interest in said
Eastern Division and French Broad
Branch, (Which is really the entire
ownership of the property at cost
and interest. Suppose they only
wanted to speculate out of the
Western North Carolina Road?
Does not common sense tell that
they could get more than 100000
Tor 1t? Did not these very parties
charge last winter, when these par
ties were about to get this road for
its debts, that, it was worth far
more than that, though they would
no doubt finish the line, they would
"get rich" out of it. Now, they
offer at cost upon condition of the
lines being finished; yet, they still
come in for abuse, the road is not
worth anything-is bankrupt" &C.,

OUR KNOXVILLE NEWS.

The letter Of eur metropolitan cor
respondent tbs week will be found
of mere than usual interest, giving
as it does the full history of a recent
occurrence in the u. S. Circuit Court
at Knoxville, for which there has been
much inquiry from friends of the
principal parties figuring. In this
connection we would ask why no al
fusion to the extraordinary affair de-
veloped in the letter enclosed for
publication by our attentive cores
pOndent was ever made in either one
of the Knoxville papers? They pro-
fessed to give to their readers every
morning an accurate report Of all
that took place in the Court and yet
no intimation of this exciting and
interesting, and unusual affair was
given to the public. 1t cannot be
that it was deemed Of too little in
terest, or Importance, for local par
agraph, for we arevinfo med by well
known gentlemen who were present
that for time the scene was both
exciting and interesting, and we hap
pen to know THAT more than ordinary
anxiety was manifested to see the
accounts of it in the daily papers.
1t seems to us that this matter should
not be regarded in the light Of phi
yate affair. 1t involves principles
that touch the foundations of truth
and public justice, as well as the
rights and good name of every citi-
zen. A public wrong has been done
by somebody-that is beyond a
doubt. If by a foreman of the u.
S. Grand Jury, the facts should be
known and the reprimand admins
tered to him by the Court should
be published to the world as a les
son and warning to all future wrong
doing foremen. If a District Attor-
ney, or distinguished Judge of the
United States commits wrong upon
a worthy citizen, the offense is of a
much graver character, and should
meet with an equally prompt and I'M
qualified rebuke from the independ-
ent press-the only recognized pal
Iadinm Of the rights and liberties of
the people.
One word more to our Knoxville
city friends: If they want to keep
posted as to interesting events that
transpire in their midst, they ought
to subscribe at once for the MORRIS
TOWN GAZETTE where they will be
sure, sooner or later, to find it, and
that, too, without fee or reward, fear,
favor or affection.
