4 MECKLENBURG. | ibis Authorities Diseuss the Declarations of May 20 and 31. Ex-Governor Z. B. Vance Be- lieves in the First Date. Daniel R. Goodloe Accepts the Resolves of the 31st. LETTER OF DANIEL R. GOODLOE. Ratetou, N. C., May 4, 1875. Vo rue Epiror oF THE HzRaLD:— Allow me to say that the bypothesis on which the HERALD would explain away the fact that the “Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence” was ever published prior to April 30, 1819, tbougn plausidie, will not stand the test of examination, Yhe same suggestion was made by Dr. Francis L, Hawks in a lecture before the New York Historical Society in December, 1852; but in offering it he ook issue with all his friends, who stoutly main- toin it was printed in the Cape Fear Mercury, and that it wassentin that form by the royal Gov- ernor, Josian Martin, to Earl Dartmouth, the | Britism Secretary of State, it {9 stated that this | paper was entrusted, in 1837 or 1838, to the care of the late Andrew stevenson, of Virginia, then the American Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court | of St. James, and that tnat gentleman failed Jo returnit to the keeper of the coiontal records. It 18 atill hoped by the friends of the “Declaration” Shavit mar be found among the effects of Mr. | Stevenson, which are said to be in the possession Of hisaon, the present Senator from Kentucky, and they expect it to furnish demonstration of tne genuineness of the 20th of May proceedings. Bat, on the contrary, ifthe Mercury should be found te contain the resolves of May $1 your nypothe. sis and that of Dr. Mawks would be to tne thampicns of the ‘Declaration’ like a plank bhrown to drowning men, Suli it would not save them. The theory of the suppression of the “Declaration,” because of its rasbness, by the cooler heads that met in council on the $ist of May 13 incongruous with all the contemporaneous and well kaoown facts, It pre- supposes, in the frat place, taat the oMiclal report of the proceedings on May 19 and 20, which bears date Mav 2, and is signed by Jonn McKnite Alexander, as Secretary, is utterly untrastwortny; jor that report deciares that the “Declaration”? was sent by @ special messenger to the Representatives in Congress at Poiladelphia; that it was universally received by the people, and, in tact, that it was the work of the identical County Committee of Safety, which We know dia put forth the resolves of May 31. There is abundant evidence of the spurionsness of the pretended report; it shows on its face that It was written long after the event, because It refers to subsequent even's, and, Indeed, we have the certificate, lonr suppressed, of Joun McKautt Alexaader that he wrote t', from ‘‘nis best recol- | jection and belief,” in September, 1800, the original Papers, as he says, having deen destroyed with his Bouse by fire in the preceding April. All tois is irae, but it cannot be allered or admitted by the advocates of the 20th of May Deciaration without surrendering their cau-c. The as-umed theory of the suppression of the “Declaration” is inconsistent with the postuve averments of the report and of the witnesses that 8 was prociaimed at ‘he Court House amid the plaudits of tue peovie, aud toat many topies were taken so that the peopie knew it by AMeart. Can it be believed that nobody in Meck- venbarg would be imprutest epoaga to pabisn the proceedings of a iarge puolic meeting because afew wiseacres shook their neads? Is it at all porsible tat no tory would get hold of it and burry with it to the nearest British commander? And would whigs and ‘orles coaspire to keep the secret? Each and aii of these utterly tmprobavie suppositions must be taken for true if we admit she theory of suppression to be true. In addition to these considerations there is the statement of Captain James Jack, the messenger Who bore the “Declaration,” ur proceeuings of the meeting, whatever they were, to Pailadeiphia, tha: on bia way, at Salisbury, which 3 im the adjoiming counrr, forty miles distant, they were read before “the Court’ or Committee of Safety and highly approved. Tals statement, which is Goubtiess true, is utterly inconsistent with the supposition that ne bore the «Declaration of in- dependence,” while it mignt well be if we suppose Dim to have been the bearer of the resolves of May 31. For it appears trom the recorda of the Rowan county committee, to be found in Wheeler's Distory, that on June 1, 1775, that body sent an earnest letter of sympathy anda of exhortation Ww patrietic effort to the sister committee of Mecklenbarg, in which, nevertheless, it de- ciared fra allegiance “to tne present House ot Hanover.” Can it be believed that this tame letter would have been sens to Charlotte twelve days after Mecklenburg county had declared irre- vucable independence? The thing is imeredipie. But supposing that Captain Jack bore the resolves of May 31, and that be left Charlotte early in Jane, s he and the report concur in stating, the difi- culty at once vanienes. For, in the Grst place, the Rowan committee coni! not know June 1, in that day of rough roads, what the Mecklenburg committee resolved in the afternoon of the pre- ceding Cay; and we may well suppose tnat the More elevated and devermined spirit of the re- Solves at Charlotte on the iast day of May would ewaken sympathy and tuspire a spirit of patriotic emulation in Salisbury, when they reached there, “early in June.” might, if i had time, notice some arguments presented by rour correspondent from this place, butI believe shat most of them were anticipated and answered in the loager article of mine whica is im your hands. I will, however, notice whatis Said about the spirit of tne Regulators, who had scruples, after their recent oatis of allegiance, teen ag the price of avchesty and pardon, about again embarking in rebellion. It has been well said by Dr. Charles Phillips that the existence of this eeling among the Regulators made it neces sary to respect their scrupies by keeping opea the floor of reconciliation with the mother country. Hence, while the patriots of Mecklenburg did set | Ops govermment on the Jist of May entirely in- dependent of Great Britain, they decmed it wise | to say that tuey might return to allegiance % the British government would recede ftom its ar itrary policy toward America. fs desire to conciliaie the Regulators vas manifested in the Provincial Congress, whicn ‘ent men of character and induence among them with assurances of provection. The troable with the Regulators was tuat their rebeilion in 1771 against tne detestable carpet-bag tyranny im- posed by the Crown was suppressed by the very men who, in 1775, became the leaders of the whigs. | Tryon, the Governor, with bis accomprished wife and wife's sister, had fascinated the gentry of the iow country with his courtly style of living at New- vero, and made them his instruments im tmpos- ing @ gailing tyrauny upon the piaim people wuo mohabited the hill regions. Martin, a wiser and | verter Man, succeeded Tryon, and seizec the op- portunity of conciliating the Regulators by Kind- ness, and at tie same aaa ed their weil- grounded prejudices again genry.

COMPTROLLER GREEN HAS TO KNUCKLE DOWN TIGHT—HE GETS UP ANOTHER BOTHEB AND WRITES A LONG LETTER ABOUT ‘‘MY POL- t0.”” The Comptrolier came to his senses yesterday and sent over to the Mayor the warrants for the pay of the flremen for the month of April, made | out in company payrolls, payable to the order of | One of Mr. Green’s | the Mayor just about ten minutes to sign these | warrants, which, vad the Comptroiler veen less | obstinate than he is, might have been made out | properiy by him nearly two weeks ago and the firemen paid promptly on the Ist of the month. Mr. Green wis fogced to do as he did, not because he cared about the poor firemen, but he got wind of the fact that they were going to bring the matter before the courts, where he felt certain he would be beaten, Late yesterdar, as if to get even with the Mayor for having made bim come down trom nis high horse, he refused vo send 4 messenger to the Mayor's office tocarry the warrants tor the pay of the emplosés of the Department of Puoiic Works to the Finance De- partment, although te had be n notified that the Mayor had signed tuem. The employés were toid, wWueu they applied for their money at the Comptroller's office, that although the Mayor had signed the warrants he refused to send them to the Finance Department. The fact ts that the Comptroller wanted the Mayor to do his bidding. The Mayor finally sent the Comptroller @ letter stating that he (the Mayor) had no mes- senger on woom he felt inclined to place the re- sponsibility of carrying the warrants to the Fi- fiance Department, and he desired that they Should ve carried by & messenger who would be subject (oO the regulation of the Finance Depart- meut, This i¢it Mr.Green no ground to stana on, 80 & Messenver from nis Office Nnaily culled at Wwe Mayor's omice and took the warrants to the Finance Department, where the laoorers and others in General Porter’s department will get their pay to-day. in Mr, Green's note, in which he notified the Mayor that be had drawn out the warrant for the firemen by company payrolls, he sticks to the idea that the men ought to be paid oy individual rrants, aod expresses tne hope that the Mayor “will find it agreeavie to adopt tae plan.” In (his note be inclosed @ copy of the following letter:— Pixance Derartwent, Comprronen’s Orrice. city ew Yous, May 12,1875.

It was Victoria Woodhull, whose name has been s0 woven into the warp and woof of this Brooklyn scandal. She Was looking well; herage might be thirty; ber | eye was bright and radiant, and the occasion was evidently one of great joy to her. Floor manager Caldwell provided her with a seat, and speculation was rife as to the things she would be asked to tell. Mrs, Beecher took natur- ally some interest in THE APPEARANCE OP MRS. WOODHULL, whom she had never seen before. Tilton did not at first pretend to be aware of ner presence. The | foreign gentleman sitting beside His Honor on the bench was, perhaps, the most curious of all. To him Mrs, Woodhull was @ greater phenomenon than any other personage in the case. From his position he had a good look | at her, It was not long before Mrs. Woodhull op tained a chance of being heard. The object in | subp@naing her was to ovtain from her letters in her possession written to her by the plaintiq. Evarts, Beach and Fallerton took part in the debate. Finally, Mr. Shearman asked for the letters, As Mrs, Woodhull rose from her seat in rear of Mrs. Beecher and stepped into the charmed circle occupied by the opposing counsel every eye in the room except Judge Nelison’s was fixed on her movements, She was very pale and her lips trembled with suppressed emotion, but ste | marched forward bravely, yet with an air of defl- | ance, such as might be expected of a prisoner who came to be arraigned.

A whispered conference ensued and the three held a sharp debate, and then Mrs. Wood- duil addressed the Court, and though her voice trembled, she managed to say that tne letters ae- manded were not injurious to her and could not harm her, so she was willing to give them up, But she wanted it understood that she had been | arrested for publishing the scandal and bad suf- fered the rigor of the law.

Mr. Fullerton—Your Honor will perceive ® fea- ture im this case entirely different from that in | the authorities read, ‘This subpoena does not de- | scribe any particular paper so as to enable us to | identity it; toere 18 an omnibus clause t» produce ali papers, without specifying any, and hence it | does not bring this case witnin the rules as laid | down in the element: because in those cases the particular paper was described in @ Way $0 that it could oe identified when it was pro- a .

Judge Nelison—I have Dot given any directions. | Mr. Evarts—she has been advised that the writ | entities us to the produc ion of the papers. MRS, WOODLULL'S ADDRESS. Mrs. Woodhull, turning toward the Bench, spoke | as follows:—‘l have a few unimportant letters in | my possession, and [ feel in bringing tuem | into the case at tuis stage of the proceedings that some explanation is due, They are letters en- urely creditable to myself as well as to the gentle- man Who wrote them.

She theu handed thew to Mr. Evarts. Judge Neilson inquired whetner tne examina- tion of Mr. Moulton was to be concinaed, | Mr. Fullerton suggesied that the cross-examt- | Mation should be proceeded with, After Some further discussion on this subject, Judge Neilson intimated tnat if atany fucure | time the deience desired to cross-examine air. Tilton on the basis of these levters the witness | furoisning them must be in court, THE EVIDE John Napoleon Longii was then examined as to | the measurement of tue Broad street piemises occupied by Mr. Sehedler, near Deimonico’s | restaucant, In rebuttal of previous testimony for the defence, Francis D. Moulton was then recalled, and pro- ceeded to deny many Of the statements made by | Mr, Beecher touching the interviews he had with | Mr. Moulton, wheu the jetter of contrition was — tu writien. Judge Morris went over Mr, Beecner’s | id where he @ from | Mr. Moulton’s testimony asked iv the language | given by the defeadant had been used, tue wit- Bess on rebuttal denying all of th Several | sharp debates occurred between counsel, but the jaintif’s side got in all tueir contradictions, Mr. oulton being still om the stand wen the bouc of recess arrived, APTER THE RECESS. The court was slow in reassembling, Mrs. Beecher sat alone in the afiervoon, pule, wan and weary, the great.st object of sympathy identified with the cause, Her son was with her in the morning. It was almost half-past two o’clock be- fore an oficial word was spoken, and then Mr. Beach stood up and announced that Mrs. Moulton was ill and could not atvend us a witness, but her | evidence denying a certain conversation with Mr, Beecher would be taken all the same as if sue testified on the witness stand. Mr. Evarts agreed to this arrangement. Mr. Moulton then resumed the stand and was dismissed in a few moments, He was followed by Stephen Pearl Andrews, who was recalied to testify as to the occupation of the office No. 48 Broad street by Colonel Blood and Mrs. Woodhull and as to the latter being married tc the former. When Andrews left the stund there was along pause, and finally Mr. Freeland was called and examined by Mr. Shearman. He denieda statement of Bowen’s point biank, and people turned to each other and asked, ‘Who is telling the truth in this trial?’ Mr, Freeland supplemented bis denial by | the remark “Mr, Bowen mace a mistake.” Mr. | Beach moved to strike out the observation. “On!” said Shearman, “it was only acharitable remark.” Mr. Fullerton stirred up the irritability of the witness on cross-eXumination by pushing him closely for an explanation of bow he determined the date of a certain interview between Bowen and Beecher at his house, “I'd answer your questions, Mr, Fullerton, but you put them in such @ way that | can’t answer them.’ He was | asked if in December, 1%0, he received a note from Bowen and sent him back an answer to the eMect, “Yes, that will be attended to.” Tnis ap- peared a simple question enough, but though it was put haifa dozen times the witness, with an unaccountable ovstinacy avoided a definite an- ewer. Fullerton appealed to the Judge ana said :— “I think Your Honor will have to take this witness | in hand.” The Judge, however, took no action in the matter, and the counsel proceeded to make the best hand he coulda of the witness, “Pure cussedness,” as artemus Ward calis a certain perversity of disposition, wonid apply to Mr. Fri land’s manner as a w.tness, There were four lawyers on their legs together in the course of Freeland’s re«cross-examination. The matter appeared to be of a trivial character and only acquired its importance from the peculiar crookedness of the witness’ replies, When the afternoon proceediags were formally opened Mr. Beacn announced taat Mrs. Moulton | was too ill to attend and deny Om oath the aile- | gation of Mr. Beecher that she said to him, Beecher, | don't believe the stories they ar» teil- (oy about you; [ believe you are @ good man.” — y consent of counsel it was agreed that the de- nial of Mrs, Moniton should go on (he record as | made, Frank Moulton then resumed the chair, and alter denying the assertion of Mr. Beecher that he (Moui‘on) had asked tne defendant to pay Bes- me Turner's school vil, retired for good. Stephen Pear: Andrews was recul'ed to prove the signature of James H, blood, reputed husband of Victoria Woodsuli, to & iease Of the premises James Frecland recailed, contradicted the as- sertion of Henry ©. Bowen that the interview of Decemver 26, 1870, occurred at tis (Free.and’s) | house, The cross-examinauion was a very amu-- ing one, and the witness finally escaped from the sand quite angry at Mr. Fullerton, who evidently took aelignt in tormenting him. Mrs. Maria M. Ovington recalled, was examined at leogtu regarding the duration of tne interview ather house vetween Bessie Turser and Geveral Tracy, When she pronounced the statements made by Aibert P, Marcin as ialse, She was very ew: phatic in these assertions, and her answers were | given deliberately and while she was looking | directiy in tue face of Martin, Her testimony was | | as foliows:— | Examined by Mr, Shearman—Are yon ac. quainted witn Mr. Alpert 2.
