RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. Especial

and considerable feeling came to the sur
face in a rather unpleasant manner. II

DAYS ago. increasing the appropriation to

vas 20 be expended in improving. beau
flying and keeping up the grounds Of
the Guilford battle-ground, which through
che labors Of Judge Schenck, Of Green's
boro. have already been changed into
a beautiful park. II appears that the
first moment after the bill had been rati-
fed the other day officers Of the Battle
Ground Company at once drew out OF
the state Treasury $500 for the year which
has already expired, supplementing the
$40 which had already been received and
used, and making $500 for the year back
Upon hearing of this the matter was
again brought up in the Legislature to-
day. and after a hot debate a supple-
mental act was passed. cutting the APP
preparation down again 90 500 per annum.
There was considerable feeling over the
Tebuke thus administered to the battle
ground people. The bill passed the SEN
ate. and was at once rushed through the
House.
