The C.. r. g. r. v. Railroad.

The bill to appoint twelve Commits
sioners with authority to sell the States
interest in the Cape Fear & Yadkin
Valley Railroad has passed both Houses
of the Legislature.
The following are the Commission
ers. A. j.. DcRosset, of Wilmington
Geo. NJ. Rose, A. B Williams and A.
A. McKethan, Jr., of Fayetteville; O.
A. Hanna, ofChatham Julius A. Gray
and Levi Ct. Scott, of Greensboro
Jesse F. Graves, of Surry; Tyre York.
of Wilkes, |. Or. Last. of Forsyth
Vaughan, of Allegheny; Parks of Ran
dolph.
This is the bill, with the addition of
three commissioners, referred to in the
Star of Sunday last, and to which we
then gave our endorsement.
No action of the commissioners will
be valid until ratified by the Governor
and his Council, and by the stockhol
ders. And it is proper 20 note here
that although the State owns $500
shares and the private stockholders
only 1870, the State is entitled, under
the charter of the Company, to cast
only half as many votes as are cast by
the private stockholders.
With the restrictions imposed by this
bill, the interests OF the State and Of
the private stockholders are entirely
safe.-Stdr.

groans proceeding apparently from a

feet from the road, and on going to see
the cause of the grooming, | found a

Three letters from different young la

was from Miss Jennie Nedell, of Phila-

when he sees IN this gayly dresse d
throng of dancers full blooded negroes,

but at one time tonight in one of the
dancing rooms, out Of fifteen couples on
the floor four were colored people, one
or two of the women being SO light that
it was a little startling at first to see
them dancing with negroes. Several
things were to be observed. They
danced well-could not have danced
much better, indeed, if their skins had
been white. They were tastefully
dressed, and bore themselves with

SPECIAL TAX BONDS IN COURT. in
the New York Supreme Court last
week, the case of the Receiver of the
Peoples Savings Bank, against IL. II.
Van Dyke, &. II. Loutrel, and r. Nc
Murray, former trustees of the Bank,
was decided against the latter. The
charge was that in October and Novem-
Der 1868, they purchased $40, 900 worth
of North Carolina bonds buying them
from some of the rogues then ruling and
running our State. Next year the
bank saw that there would be no chance
to force the State to pay the fraudulent
bonds so they sold thrce-fourths of
the amount at a big loss. They still
hold $4,000 of the bonds; but they
are pronounced worthless"
Judge Barrett's decision is good read
ing even though delivered in a New
York court. He held that under the
charter of the Peoples Savings Bank
and of the general laws relating to suc
institutions. the purchase of the North
Carolina State bonds at less than par
was illegal, and the defendants are all
liable for the damages resulting from
such illegal purchases. As to McMur-
ray, who claimed he was DOT liable be
cause he had not acted as trustee for
six months, Judge Barrett says: His
position in the eye of the law, looking
simply at his acts, is that of a trustee
who abandoned his duty. He should
bear the consequences of this inherent
negligence. Ordinary and reasonable
attention to his duties would have en-
abled him to discover and check these
purchases. In the present instance he
had especial reason to be on his guard
because of what he had heard respect
ing the purchase of Tennessee bonds.
1t is said that so strict a rule of liability
will be apt to prevent men of wealth
and standing from accepting such an
office. 1t is to be hoped that, where
there is no intention to fulfill the duties,
it may have just that effect. There is
certainly no particular severity in re
q%uiring him to be something more than
a mere igurehead to attract and mis-
lead the public"
