that Gov. Morehead attended the meetings

A CARD.
In the card of Judge Saunders of the 28th
ultimo, published in the Standard ot the 2nd
inst.. in reply to a card of mine published in
the Raleigh Register of the 8th ult., Judge
Saunders, in commenting upon my "flat con-tradiction
of his statement," says that the
answers of the committee (appended to his
card) "are equally flat in their contradiction
of Col. Gwyun's denial." Now with a view
to a proper understanding of tho points at
issue between Judge Saunders and myself as
well as to an analysis of the answers of tho
committee to which he refers, it is proper
here to recite the statement made by Judge
Saunders to which 1 gave a "flat contradic-tion."
It is as follows, viz : "as chairman, I
informed Col. Gwynn in person, that the
committee required his presence—and Col.
Gwynn attended from lime to time and gave
lull explanation on every point in regard to
the contract and the nature of tho claim "
In refutation of my denial of the truth of
this statement, Judge Saunders appeals to
the answers of Mr. H. G. Rand, Mr. Wm. T.
Dortoh and Mr. Chas. P. Fisher, members of
the committee, in reply to his enquiry as
to "what is your recollection as to tho at-tendance
and examination of Col: Walter
Gwynn, the Chief Engineer, before tho com-mittee
?" I will now take up the "answers
of the committee," and show to «hat extent
they sustain Judge Saunders in his declara-tion
that they "arc equally. Hat in their con-tradiction
of Col. Gwynn's denial.;'
Mr. Hand Bays, "according to ray rccollec-tion
of tho matter, I state that I was one of]
tho committee, and I think that I very well
recollect that Col. Walter Gwynn was pres-i
ent, and examined." So far, Mr. Rand's re-collection
does not seem to be \ery clear;
he only "thinks that he recollects that Col.
Gwynn was present." But in his next and
the last sentence of his answer to Judge
1 have now a word to say in regard to with a copy of account of the contractors
another branch ofmy card before reterred to on the first division, and it was some weeks
ill which Judge Saunders is not at all irapli- before I learned what had been done in the
cated or concerned. I stated that "I was matter. I recollect very distinctly bearing
not consulted by aoy member of tho com-mittee."
.Mr. Hand and Mr. Dtfrtch are silent on
this point. They could not bo otherwise,
unless so far as they are concerned they af-lirmed
my statement-liut
Mr. Fisher, in his answer, goes far
beyond the bounds of the enquiry of Judge
Saunders, and indulges in much that is irrel
evant, and not at all called for. While, un-der
other circumstances, I might be beguiled
and tempted to enter into the wide range
which he opens, I shall, on tho present occa-sion,
confine myself to the subject immedi-ately
before me, with this restraint upon
myself, which is an easy task. 1 quote for
comment the following sentence from his an-swer,
viz : "1 consulted all tho parties freely
and without reserve. I talked to Col.
Gwynn, Mr. Miller and Mcliae."
Now that Mr. Fisher as well as every
member ol the board had frequent conversa-tions
with mo in reference to the contract for
the first division I entertain no doubt; for
from beginning to end there was a constant
Gov. Morehead (then President of tho road) i liberty among men. Under their protecting
:igis, wo can enjoy everything. Without
them, the reflecting mind can expect nothing
but anarchy and ruin to the Deal hopes ol
mankind.

aside
standing by it
and averring all that 1 have heretofore said,
which is in direct opposition to Mr. Band's
"answer," I shall proceed to show that he is
not sustained by his colleagues, and also by
other evidence, that he is cgregiously mista-ken
in his recollection.
Mr. Dortch, in his "answer. makes no
reference to any notification of me by the
chairman of the committee, nor does he inti-mate
that 1 ever appeared before the com-mittee.
.
Mr. Fisher makes no allusion to any com-munication
of tho chairman to me, and has
no recollection that I "was in attendance on
the committee." .
Xow if it were true as Judge Saunders
■ says, that "Col. Gwynn attended from time
to time, and gave full explanation on every
I point in regard to the contracf. and the na-ture
of the claim," can any one doubt that it
is possible that Mr. Dortch and Mr. Fisher
would have no recollection of my attendance
especially when they all, and particularly
the chairman of the" committee, admit that
they would have been derelict in not "exam-ining
or consulting with tho Chief Engi-
I leave the answer to tho impartial
1 feel, just at this point, that
has been said to vindicate truth,
has been, aud is now, my only object
and aim. But the truth can never cloy the
appetite of those whose digestion is unim-paired
; it can only be unpalatable to those
who are not its votaries. I shall therefore
proceed to press it, overwhelm whom it may,
and shall so link tho chain of evidence, that
the chairman of tho committee for the settle-ment
of the account of tho contractors of
the first division shall find no loop hole to
creep out of. I therefore invite attention to
following facts and circumstances, leaving

enough
which
strife with tho contractors. There was
scarcely a meeting of the board that the con-tract
was not brought up. But I cannot
admit, that as a member ot tho committee to
settle the account of the contractors for the
first division, that Fisherevcr "talked" with
me. The solicitations of Gov. Morehead for
my attendance on tho committee, and my
lively and vivid recollection of my repeated
asseverations to him that I had not been in-vited
to attend the meetings of the commit-tee,
or consulted by any one of them, con-firms
my memory, and places my recollec-tion
antagonistic with tint of Mr. Fisher.—
The difference between Mr. Fisher and my-self
can bo readily accounted lor. llo has
doubtless confounded prior conversations in
reference to tho account ot the contractors
of the first division; for the subject was
mooted at several sessions of the board, pri-or
to the appointment of the committee.
And this accounts for any error into which
.Mr. Fisher has fallen, viz : that the commit-tee
subm
basis of action." This statement is in con-flict
with another immediately following the
above in Mr. Fisher's letter, viz: "It is very
well understood that the Chief Engineer de-clined
to advixe any settlement" Now my
recollection goes to restore harmony to these
contradictory statements, for it obliterates
both. I certainly submitted no account or
statement to tho committee. The commit-tee
may have had before them tho general
account or estimate of the contractors show-
| ing the entire cost of tho contract, with per-haps
the bi-monthly estimates and other
memoranda furnished by me to the board
from time to time, and probably the account been before the conimittce,
of the contractors, which Mr. Mcndtnhall
in his letter (hereunto annexed) says he fur-nished
Gov. Morehead, then President of the
Company, and these accounts Mr. Fisher has
perhaps mistaken for an account "submit-ted"
to tho committee "by the Chief Engi-neer
for their basis of action."
But in fact the contract specified the
amount to be paid, after deducting the cost
ofseveral sections, designated by numbers
in the contract; so that the amount to be
paid the contractors could oe readily ascer-tained
by deducting the aggregate cost ot
those sections from tho whole sum to be
paid, conditioned on the execution of the
work in accordance with the specifications.
Such being the nature of tho contract, and
the Chief Engineer being the final arbiter,
had I submitted any account as a basis for
the action of the committee, it would have
been confined to a specification ot the fail-ures
of the contractors in tho performance
of their contract, the amount of damage in
each case to the Company, &c., all which 1
would have cheerfully furnished had 1 been
called on by the committee.
I was ever ready and willing to settle
the account of the contractors for the first
division, despite of any imputation which
might have been cast upon me in conse-quence
of my having, from a sense of duty
and self respect, declined to hold any per-sonal
intercourse with them, and was taken
by surprise when a committee was appoin
ted to settle the account. Nevertheless, as 1
said in my reply to a communication from
Mr. W orth, chairman, &e., "1 made no com-
Gov. Morehead state, when he returned to
Greensboro' after the settlement, that he en-deavored
to get you to go before the com-mittee,
but that you declined doing so with-out
being invited by them; that you were
not present at any time when he was there,
and that you told him you had not been
present at any time, nor invited to attend
by any member of tho committtoo.
Yours very respectly,

DEAR SIR: In reply to yours, requesting
me to state whether 1 have any recollection
of your being present at any time before, or
being consulted by, the committee appointed
by the directors of the N. C. Railroad com-pany
to make a final settlement between the
company and the contractors on the first
division ot tho road, 1 have to state : That
I remember distinctly, when the committee
were about to commence their investigations
at ltaleigh, 1 called atyourollico in Raleigh,
and stated to you that I, (being then Presi-dent
of the company,) desired that you
should appear before the committee, whether
invited by them to do so or not, and state the
objections you had to the manner in which
portions of the work had been executed on
the first division, and that I thought it was
due to yourself and tho company, that you
should give the reason why you had with-held
from the contractors estimates on those
portions of tho work. You replied in sub-stance,
and, I think, in about the following
words: You said you had frequently laid
before tho hoard of directors the difficulties
you had with the contractors on tho Hrsl
division, as to the manner in which they had
executed portions of their work, and had
not given them estimates on those portions.
The board being thus fully advised by you

The undersigned, members of the Board
of Visitors of Trinity College, appointed by
the N. C. Conference, having attended its
late Commencement, and having carefully
examined its pecuniary condition, means and
progress, beg leavo to present the following
views :
Tho College is situated in a pleasant un-dulating,
healthy country, five miles from
High Point, on the N. C. Uuilroad. It is
easy of access ; and yet sufficiently removed
from the depravity, the evils of cities and
great public thoroughfares. -\ neat village,
of substantial, moral intelligent citizens, uM
sprung up around it, with whom the stu-dents
board. Thus enjoying the freedom
and security of the domestic circle—home—
with college life. Yet however, there are
not boarding houses enough to nccoamio
date the students who flock to this scat of
learning. Many have been turned away for
want ot room. The Trustees have resolved
to pat up an additional building for dormi-tories,
and also for a larger laboratory and
chapel. But where are the means! This is
a move in the right direction. Hut whor-are
the means to build? It H confidently
believed that from three to four hundred stu-dents
would annually visit Trinity, if there
were good accommodations for them. One
hundred and ninety-two matriculated the past
year, but a number who sought admission
"were turned away for want of suitable ac-commodations.
The receipts were sufficient
for the current expenses; and so have they
ever been. The pecuniary condition there-fore,
of the College, under the excellent
management of the President, so far as its
current expenses are concerned, is very good.
The grade of scholarship is high. The
course study of and mode of instruction are
equal to any college. The ability and in-dustry
of the Faralty are evinced in the
standing of the clases. All passed a very
good examination ; and the orations of the
graduating class were unsurpassed by any
to which we have ever listened. Some of
our very best scholars, and gentleman high
in authority, and some of them not mem-bers
of our church, heartily concurred i-i this
opinion. The Latin,Greek, and French Ora-tions,
were very good, tho Crock especially.
We Sre satisfied, and we would speak to the
membors and friends of the church through-out
the land, speak eonscientously, that a
student of Trinity, with industry, can ob-tain
an education of a very high grade, if
not the highest. A new chair, that of Belles
Lettn s. has been added to tho Board ot In-struction.
The moral tone of Trinity is unsurpassed,
indeed, not equaled by any College or I nin
vcrsitv in the hind. Very special attention
is paid to the moral culture of the students,
while no undue sectarian influence is brought
to bear on any. Trinity College, in is thisre-gard,
worthy of all praise and confidence.—
The Students have a high manly christaitu
bearing. Wo are satisfied our sons there are
more sale from the contaminating influences
of the world, than at any other institution
of learning in the land.
The future of Trinity is redolent of hope

During the session of the committee, Mr.

In conclusion, 1 would observe that, un-til
1 saw the report of tho joint select com-mittee,
(and a month has scarcely elapsed
since it first meet my eye,) I never knew
how the committee had settled the account
of the contractors of the first division. I
could, therefore, express no opinion, either
one way or the other, in regard to tho set-tlement
of tho account. Mr. Fisher's re-marks,
therefore, in regard to any "dissatis-faction."
and from what 1 have heretofore
said, his "impression that the officers of the
company were not only very glad to be re-lieved
of the duty of making this settlement,
but were well satisfied with its terms," can
have no reference to me.
Reverting to Judge Saunders, 1 accept the
