CONGRESSMAN EyINS.
Hon. j. II. Evins, the Representative in
Congress from this Congressional district,
passed this place on the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad last Thursday, returning from Ian
caster. 1t was a source of regret to his many
friends here that his engagements would not
permit him to stop and mingle with them !;
though at another time he will probably visit
our county. As our immediate Representa-
tive, Col. Evins has we'll and justly earned
the confidence and esteem of his constituents.
Faithful in the discharge of his public du.
/ ties, and prompt to serve the interests of the
public he has endeared himself to the people
and won their plaudit of "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant"
Speaking of his visit to Lancaster, the Re-
view says: ......
We were pleased to meet in the village on
Monday last, our immediate Representative
in Congress, the Hon. j. H. Evins. Col
Evins, it will be remembered, was among the
first of the members of Congress, to take the
ground that it was the true policy of the Dem
ocratic party in Congress to pass the appro.
priation bills, after making an effort to repeal
the obnoxious statutes that were up for con-
sideration by Congress at the last session,
and before the adjournment of the session.
COL Evins saw that the Republican members
were anxious that the Democrats should be-
come obstinate, and refuse the appropriation
for the government because of the vetoes Of
the President, and that they, thus initiated,
would stop the wheels Of government, adjourn
and 90 home. He saw that the Republicans,
with the astuteness for which they are cele-
brated, were striving to drive the Democrats
into false position before the country, and,
in this way, make another pretext in the COM
ing election, to prolong the rule that they
have had on the country for the last eighteen
or twenty years and he, true to the interest
of his own people, who have been long suffer
ing from Misrepresentation, and feeling that
the good of the South now depends on repose
and exemption from sectional strife, determan'
ed at once that the policy was to pass the ap-
preparation bills before adj djournment; and he
threw the weight of his influence to bring
about this result. He is known to be one of
the first to take the ground, and probably no
representative from the South exercised more
influence than he to pass the appropriation
bills, Notwithstanding the vetoes Of the Pres
ident His constituents in this county, so far
as we have been able to ascertain, fully en-
dorse his course in this matter; and it must
be very gratifying to him to meet the people
and receive their approval in a matter so
vital in Importance, to the interest of the
whole country.
The Ledger also alludes to him in the fol-
lowing terms:
The Hon. j. H. Evins, member of Con-
gress from this Congressional District, paid
our town a brief visit the past week. He
addressed quite large audience at the Court
House on Monday night upon the leading po-
litical questions of the day. His speech was
full of information for his constituents, and
was highly appreciated by all who heard it.
He gave US an inside view of the financial and
political questions which agitated the extra
session, and very justly claimed that the extra
session had accomplished great work. Col.
Evins was introduced to the audience by
Gen. J. B. Erwin, the Democratic County
Chairman, in few remarks appropriate to
the occasion.
