NORTH CAROLIN Role of a Radical Railroad Lobbyist. Me is Indicted for Embezzling $7,000,000 of North Carolina Bonds. The Governor of Florida Refuses to Recognize a Requisition from the Governor of North Caro. lina—Five Thousand Dollars Reward Offered for the Arrest of the Swindler—Senator Elect Vance—His Views as to General Am- nesty—The Outrage Committee and the Next Prosidency—The State Debt. Rateien, N. C., Jan. 81, 1871. One of the chief items among the $26,000,000 of Pallroad appropriations made by the republican Legislature of 1863-9 was $7,000,000 to build a rail- road from Ashvilie, N. C., to Ducktown, Tenn., known as the French Broad Road, of which George ‘W. Swepson, a banker, was made president. Gene- yal Milton 8. Littlefield, a Northern man, who had more or less to do with all the appropriations, was ‘mainly instrumental in effecting that for the French Broad Road; indeed, it was generally under- ptood at the time that Littlefield was “‘running” the jure, and successfully, too, under the very noses of a “smelling” committee, The $7,000,000 in bonds were delivered to George W. Swepson, and ‘by him, it is said, were subsequently delivered to ‘Lituefiela, who afterwards succeeded him as presi- dent of the road. Under the auspices of the latter fhe work was commenced on the road; contracts twere let on an extensive scale; large numbers ‘of men were employed; contractors purchased Jargely on the credit of theif contracts; and a great deal of work was done, when it was suddenly dis- covered that Littletied, $7,000,000 and baggage had wamosed, There was no money, and all operations ceased. A storm ensued among workmen, con- tractors and creditors, but to no avail. The money ‘was notiorthcoming. Every effort to discover the ‘whereabouts of Littiefieid tailed, and at length he, fn company With Gearge W. Swepson, was indicted for EMBEZZLING $7,000,000 pf North Carolind State bonds. This gave a new Impetus to inquiries as to the whereabouts of these ‘worthies, Which at last resulted in the arrest of wepson in this State,and the announcement a hert time since that Littlefleld was then in Tal- jahassee, Fla. dent of another had been operaung poale. Acting upon this Governor Todd K. Caldwell, now Governor, made a requisition upon Governor Harrison Reid, of Florida, for the arrest and delivery to his agent of Litvle. Meld as 4 fugive trom justice, The requisition was delivered to the Governor of Florida, who having Bome peculiar interest in Littlefield, made some technical equivocations as to the authenticity of the jndictment, and, iashort, refused to deliver up the ron then under his very nose charged with be ng swindler, and for whom he held the requisition of he Governor of another State. In high dudgeon fe Governor of North Carolina then sent the fol- owing: where he was also presi- railroad, and where he on @ similarly extensive information Lieutenant SHARP MESSAGE fo the Legislature:— STATE OF NonTH CAKOLINA, EXxrouTive DEPARTMENT, RALEIGH, Jan. 21, 1871. Mo THR HONOBABLE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF . Nogta CagoLina:— ENTLEMEN—I have the honor to inform you that upon information received by me that one Milton S. Litileticld, a ‘ugitive from justice from tals State, had taken refuge in the tate of Florida, I immediately despatched Joseph U. Mi special messenger or agent for the State, to Taile basse Fine with a requisition uader the great seal of the State, de- janding that the Governor of Florida should cause the said agisive to be arrested and delivered to the agent appointed y me to receive and bring him to justice in North Carolina. ‘Tam informed by Mr. Milla that he has presented the re- quisition to the Governor of Florida, and that although the Baid M. 8. Littlefield was at the time in the city of Talla- fhassce, amenabie to process, yet the said Governor, under retence that the bill of indictment upon which the requist- Bon was based is not properly certided and authenticated, Fofuses to have the sald Littleield arrested and ered to the agent of this State. sefainaction So the part of the Governor of Florida is, in my opiuion, unwortay of the iXecutive of uny Btate who hua x Tegard for the comity which should exist between the executive otlicers of sovereign States, and will warrant the ‘presumption that there is sume latent Influence operating upon his Exceilency which prompts, him to protect this tugi- tive and alford him an opportunity to escape. My powers in this matter having been exhausted, and surren- Knowing of no way 1n which the Governor of Florida can be forced to perform his plain duty 1n the premises, I have deemed it proper to make this communication to your hon- orable body, and to asi that you will, by islation, i roper legs rize me to olfer a reward, not exceedin |, for the Sitent and delivery of said Ninga 8, Ehiiedali to the Sheri gf Buncombe county. I hare the honor to be, very res » your obedient servant Pee TOvb R, CALDWELL, Governor. With the greatest alacrity the General Assembly— which body, a8 well as the Governor, was highly in- dignant at the discourteous conduct of the Governor of Florida—at once passed the following RESOLUTION Resolved, by the General Assembly of North Carolina, ‘That his Excellency the Governor, Todd K. Caldwell, be au- thorized to oifer a reward of $6,000 for the arrest of Milton 5, Littlefield and bis safe delivery to the Sherif of Bun- scombe county, or to the Governor of this State. ‘This resolu- ‘ton shall not apply to any messenger already sent by the Governor for the arrest and delivery of the said M.S. Littie- eld. In accordance with this resolution Governor Cala- ‘well at once issued his proclamation for the arrest of Milton 8, Littlefield wherever found, to be deliv- ered either at Morgantown, in Buncombe connuty, or here at the jail in Wake county. This is quite a ppeculation for detectives; but it 18 even now doubt- yee whetner Governor Ried would allow Liitiefleia to arrested in Florida. SENATOR ELECT VANCE, cwho views affairs from a Southern standpoint, re- turned here irom Washington @ few days since cheerful in spirits and very hopeful of his ultimate admission to the Senate. He had strong assurances trom a number of the most prominent republican Senators in his favor, though from few who were not generally known to be in the interest of general amnesty. This feeling, he says, grows stronger each day, and the extreme radicals cannot much Jonger stem the power/ul current of pubuc opinion, which even now demands a general torgiveness of political sins. If the present Congress do not pass such a bill the next most assuredly will, and if it Is left to drift longer it will become one of the main issues in the next Presidential contest, with the certainty of carrying the South, the West and a ma- jority of the Nortiern States. With regard to the Outrage Comuuttee, now so industriously en- gaged expending $10,000 on tmpecunions South- ern = “loyalisis,”” he believes that will end du smoke, or, as he expressca it, they will keep on at the tuing until it eventually fazies out, without anybody being the wiser, Tue repub- lic ‘ns have no idea of attempting ihe re-reconstruc- tion of any Southern State. ‘nat they admit them- selves, and the Senator besieves that the real object of Morton’s resolution and the Outrage Comunittee is by tinkering aud rehashing the alleged Southern outrages, to account to te republicans of the Norta for the numerous defeats of the party in the south, Hendricks was spoken of more than any other man as the next democratic candidate for the Presidency, and epimion scemed divided between Homman and Hancock for the Vice Presidency; but the Senater believes neither of them would be successful. The matter was (oo lar off yet to taik about. Vance was affable, liberal in his political sentiments and full of the leading topics of the day. ‘There will be no legislation at present on the sub- fect of THE STATE DEST, which will be left entirely to the convention just called by the requisite two-thirds majority of both | houses, The system of taxation inaugurated under the present constitution contiuues, but, even exces- | sive as that is, the State is unable to meet the ii- terest on its debt. It enough eut of a poverty-stricken people to pay the enormous expenses of the State government. It is the opmion of many that the entire debt, both old and new, will have to be compromised ona basis that will not do injustice to Ure holders of the bonds, but which will materially relieve the people in their present depressed condition. As to the new debt, the bonds of which are now quoted at twenty-four and twenty-five, it 1s impossible to conjecture the action of the Convention. Some favor its entire repudiation on the ground that it was a swindle, and the holders who purchased the bonds must have been aware it was never intended that they should be sold at such a nominal rate; others are in favor of compromising them with the old debt; while still cthers, and perhaps the greatest number, wish to redeem these bonds at whatever prices the holders actually paid for them. ‘he latter action will doubt- less prevail. “JOURNALISTIC.

The cotton market was weak and a shade lower. THE PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT, ‘The public debt statement for the munth of Janu- ary shows a reduction of over $4,000,000 after taking into account the accrued interest. MONEY FOUR TO SIX PER ORNT. While money to-day was quoted four to six per cent it was, strictly speaking, more active. The rates on cali among the stock houses were nominally five to six per cent, but the business at the lower rate was exceptional and confined to the early hours of the day; for after one o'clock there was & fairly active inquiry a: six per cent, which was the highest rate also. Some of the government dealers had balances left with them at four per cent, but the general rate to the street on government collaterals was five, In discounts there 1s a steady mevement of prime paper at 7 a 744 per cent. Foreign exchange was firm on tho basis of 10934 for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 110% for sight bills, GOLD STRONG—I114 A 11134. The gold market was the subject of three several influences in addition to the one general one of the predominating large line of imports. These were, first, the heavy specie shipment to-day, which occa- sioned an advance to 111%; second, the apprehen- sion that Mr. Boutwell may to-morrow set off the bond purchases of to-day by selling an extra million of gold, which occasioned a decline to 1113, and, third, the impression at the close that the Bank of England directors may raise their rate of discount at their usual weekly meeting on Thursday, which induced a final advance to 111%. The specie ship- ment, which was nearly $900,000, comprised $500,000 in double eagles, the valance being silver bars and Mexican dollars. The former item is significant in showing the character of the market, As to the extra sale of gold, the only foundation for such an anticipation is the temptation aff ded Mr. Bout- well to get a good price for the government treasur¢, The expectation of an advance in the Bank of England rate of discount 18 founded upon an im- pression that such a step will be resorted to in order to check any sudden deportation of specie from London to the Continent consequent upon peace following the present situation of affairs at Paris.

THE STOCK MARKET DULL AND LOWER. ‘The stock market, with a few exceptions, opened heavy, but was Kept steady by the buoyancy of the exceptions referred to, and which were again Lake Shore and Wabasb. It seems thatthe pool opera- ting in the former possessed “calls” for abont ten to twenty thousand shares issued by parties con- cerned In the “bear” movement of last December. The demand for the stock mentioned in these con- tracts was made within the past few days, occasion. ing its purchase in the open Ket, which stimu- lated the rise yesterday to 647%, and the further advance to-day to 95%, Some of the stock was doubtless borrowed for delivery, as the certificates were scarce and lent at 2a3 per cent. Wabash was strong on purchases to cover by the “shorts,” who were freely supplied with the point a tew weeks since, when It was selling In the vicinity of 50, that the road was sadly behindhand in the matter of earnings, and that the St. Louis exten- sion had proved a dead failure. Under these cir- cumstances its price made further progress, and touched 535;. Subsequently the parties who re- ceived the Lake Shore stock on tieir ‘calls’ threw it overboard, occasioning a decline to 943;, the effect of which was to unsettle and weaken the general market, the lowest prices in most instances being made toward the close of business in the Long Room.

Acase, rare in {ts character, but having prece- in connection with the etiecting of insurance on vessels at sea, came up dents, hewever, for it, for final decision yesterday, before Judge Blatch- ford. We refer to cases Wherein the owners or charterers of a vessel supposed to be on her voyage come to an insurance oflice and effect an insurance, ante-dating the insurance, 80 as te include the date of the vessel's departure from a given port, Follow. ing this, instances have been when the vessel so insured had already succumbed to the perils of the sea, and, of course, litigation followed the claim of the Insurers for the amount of their policy. The case below may be taken as a case in point, on which, however, the judgment ts for the plaintiff. Benjamin T. Folsom vs. The Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company.—Yesterday Judge Blatchford | rendered bts decision in the above entitled case. Juage Blatchford says:— ‘This is an action tried before the court without a Jury to recover the sum oi $3,000 on @ policy of ina- rine insurance, The policy was issued to the plain- tit March 1, 1869, on the schooner B. I’. Folsom, tor the sum of $3,000, frem January 1, 1869, to January 1, 1870. The polley valued the vessel at $3,600. It aid not state Who the master of the vessel was, or what voyage she was upon. The rate of premium was expressed to bo twelve per cent net. ‘The solicy contained this written clause:—‘Privilege to cancel at the expiration of six months; pro rata premium to be returned for time not used, no loss being claimed.” The words “ost or not lost” ‘were not contained in the premium. The vessel had ailed from Boston for Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, on the 6th of Jannary, 1869, with John Or- lando as her master. She was a three-masted schooner, She was disabled at sea on the 13th of daruary, losing two of her masts and her entire hull, except a part of her bow, golug under water. she became @ total loss, Owing te the perils of the sea. The crew were taken off by a Bremen vessel and landed at Bremerhaven on the 18th of February. On the 20th of February John Orlando, master of the vessel, Wrote and mailed at Bremerhaven a letter to the plaintif, who was one of the owners of the ves- Hadeiphia, anmouneing the loss, This let. ched piainti’ after March 9, im due course i, aud a tulle Jetier from the written at haven, reached the u master, plaintiff atter March 14, having when it reactied him a Bremerhaven postmark of Febroary 2 owing to the want of means on the part of the mas. tev Le was unable to communicate with the owners of the vessel by telegraph, but he was turnished with a boarding house at Bremen and a passage to the United States by the consular a On ihe 22d of February there was publish duly papers of Philadelphut and New York a tele. “Liverpool, Feb- —Orhapdo, from Baitimore for Buenos Ayre huis despateh, a8 so worded, Was seen by the plaintiff? belore he applied to defendants for the | the detendants had posted book, with — the But the piainull did not tele: juestion, nor to the fact that ne Knew th she h from Boston for Montevideo, and not from F to Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. insurance te defendants were aware of the exist- ence of @ bark cailed the Oriando, a whaler, but they had not noted the existence of a schooner Orlando. ‘The detendants contend that, as the vessel was lost when the contract was made, March 1, and the words “lost or not lost” are not ound in the policy, the insurance never took elect, and the piaintit cannot recover. .This would be sound if the vessel had been lost before January 1, 1869. Buc by the policy the risk is taken from January 1, 1869, to January 1, 18) It is a risk for the whole of that period, and covers a loss durnig any part of that time. The premium paid was tor the whole of that tia: As the vessel was safe on the Ist of Jan- uary, 1869, she was within the terms of the contract, so that the defendants took the risk upon her. If this were not so the defendants would be enjoying the premium for the two montis from January 1 to March 1, and yet be running no risk for that time (L Phillips on insuranee, section $25; 1 Arnould on Insurance, sec 20; Hammond vs. Alien; 2 Sumner, 887, 896 TO 398). that was Insurance, and the telegram into a Orlando written over It. either party knew of the loss when the policy issued, and J am of opinion, says Judge chiord, that the pelicy must. ‘pe con- strued as covering any loss which occurred aiter January 1, 1309, although __ betore March 1, 1869, Conceding that the fact of the mas. ter's name belng Orlando and that the vesse L sailed for Buenos Ayres and Montevideo were ma- terial and had been concealed from the de‘endants, yet tie Judge holds that the fact of concealment shonid be mace out afiirmatively by the under- writers. The defendants bad not shown that the F did not, before the policy was issued, com- vate to them the fact that the name of the Was John Orlando, and that the vessel had 1 for Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. In the absence of such proof it must be assuined that the defendants were advised of such facts. After stauing some other views of the case the Judge fins for the plamtur for $3,000, with nterest from May 7, 1869. Charies M.

SBAMEN’S RereeaT Hosritat, STAPLETON, 8. L, Jan. 31, L871. To THE EpiToR or THE [eERALD:— In the Sunday issue of your paper, In speaking of the men injured by the explosion that eccurred on the Bayon Saturday, January 25, you state “that they were refused admission to the Seamen's Re- treat, which was an outrage under the circumstances, as allthe tug owners in the harbor of New York are taxed a cerlain sum annually for the support of this hospital,” which statement is incorrect. ‘Tne facta are these:—A man came into the hospital and announced that seven men were in a tug lying along shore, who had been injured by an explosion. Dr. Johnson, the house phystcian of this hospital, imme- diately provided himself with stimulants, surgical dressings, &¢,, and hastened to their relief. Upon his arrival at the tug he found the surgeon of the Ocean Queen on board, and upon consultation the two physicians did not constder the tujured men in immediate danger, which latter fact the sequel has shown to be true, Mad they been dangerously injured they would have veen temporarily adinttted a‘ter examination, as has always been the custom, ‘rhe tug proceeded with the men to New York, where five of the seven got of and walked away with the surgeon of the Ocean Queen. Dr. Johnson remained with the other two and took them to Bellevue Hospital, where they arrived safely and were kindly cared for. None of the vug Owners or men belonging to the tugs of the harbor of New York, or of any other harbor have ever been taxed, or have they ever pald anything for the Suppors of this Hospital, nor are any of them entitied to be admitted therein; but, notwithstand- ing this fact, no seriously injured or sick person has ever been turned away trom the Retreat without being attended to; on the contrary, every week sole case of emergency 18 gratuitousiy attended at this place, and always will be when necessity occurs. ‘That you may be correctly informed as to who are the proper persons entitled to the benefits of the Seamen's Retreat Hospital, I will state that only sea- faring men who pay a tax for Its support can be re- ceived, and to prevent imposition all parties have to procure a ticket of admission at the oiice of the Re- treat, No, 12 Old slip, at the time oi their entrance or immediately atter, That the wrong impression given by your article may not be perpetuated and thereby work to the injury of an tustitution which has provided and cared for upwards of 59,000 sailors, and whose officers are always ready to assist any or aillicted, | trust you will give the same pub- licity to thissarticle that you did to the former. ).
