PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
AT the Thursday nights session,
Mr.. M0ring rose to a question of pri-
viiege. He said when the bill to ere
ate the county OF Pender was under
discussion in this House, he had reud
IL support OF a motion to postpone,
a telegraphic dispatch signed by Dan
lel Shaw, D T. Durham, W. T. Eu-
nett and b. Brown. Whereupon this
dispatch was declared to be fraudu-
lent. He was now happy to state upon
the authority Of letter from Mr.. En-
nett, and the affidavit OF M-ssrs.
Brown and Durham, that the House
and himself had not been imposed
upon, but that the dispatch was gen
uine. He gladly made this statemen
i'll justice not only to himself, but tc
Mr.. Emmett. the author of the iispach,
though he did not have the pleasure
of q personal acquaintance with that
gentleman.
A.r. Walker in reply to the re-
marks of the gentleman from Chat
ham, said that he had pronounced
the dispatch in question forgery
upon Information. and had SO stated
at the time. He cheerfully bore tes-
timony to the honor and integrity of
Maj. Ennett, who was his personal
friend.
Mr.. Moring then said that he had
so understood the gentleman from
Richmond at the time of that debate
upon the bill aforesaid.
