The proceedings were opened by a speech of gieiit animation and force from Mr. Settle, and short addresses were in succession mado by Messrs. J. R. As* hkkison ol Richmond. W~T. Kcthkumji of Danville, A. D. Dickk.nson of Prince Edward, A. S. Urroßu of Danville, F. FKfw of Salem, N". VS., and ex-Gov. MortKllEAD. As it would encumber your columns too much, 1 will briefly state a few points in the debate inter esting to youl- citizens. Mr. Sktti.e warmly sustained the enter prise, described the manner in which the scheme passed tbe Legislature, (which I sup pose you will explain,) denounced the tyran ny by which the Western North Carolinians were denied a route to Richmond, the best market for their produces in the vain yet patri otic hope, he contested, of building up a great commercial city at Wilmington orJfewbern.— The more recent scheme of building up such a place at Deaufort and Morehead City, lie thought more reasonable; but even" :hat locality was not the place for their to bacco and wheat, and it was a tyranny to endeavor to force them to go there.— The route they bad gotten from the Legis lature he described, and urged upon the meet-, ing its importance. It was the shortest they could get, and it had many advantages, while it was only one hour longer than the shorter one, which had been killed oil by the mistaken idea of forcing commerce from pride and pat riotism ! Uy this route tbe great mail between the North and South could be carried in twelve hours less time than by any other, and it presented ad van tages stipprior to ail its com petitors. He asked the Richmond delegates if ever they pasted over a finer agricultural country than that they traversed iu coming to Wentworth ; They intimating by a shake of the head that they had not, Mr. S. added that the road continued through just such a country to Gerinanton. After recapitulating its advantages, agricultural and mineral, and the desire of the people to trade with Rich mond, (notwithstanding that Eastern North Carol inn had endeavored to force them to go where they would get less money for their produce,) he appealed tw Richmond and to Vir ginia to know whether they would assist in making the road through the Coal Fields ! He estimated that the entire road from Danville to High Point would co.-t Sl,gnu,(MX)—a sum he believed fully sullicieut to build and equip it in the best style. The people of North Caro lina would build all that laid in North Caro lina. All they desired was a pledge that the gap between the Virginia line and Danville slits ii Id lie built. Mr. Asdkuhon explained his position and that of his colleagues, a« giving them no au lllority to make pledges; hut expressed his in dividual opinion that the gap in Virginia would lie undoubtedly built by the Danville Road and the parties interested, lie expressed his gratification at ihe sentiments uttered by Mr. Sktti.e, and acknowledged the justice of his \iews of the agricultural wealth and mineral riches of the Dan River Valley.— With regard to the {Hjint and manner of the Connection, he trusted that niatterwould be settled in a friendly manner, discarding local and selfish considerations, and for the good ol the largest number. When that question was settled and they knew where they were to meet, he would venture to say that the parties interested iu Virginia would do their duty.— As lor the country, he knew none on earth he would more desire to connect with that city where all his interests were located. The Chairman, Dr. Mropnax, thanked Mr. A. for the disjHjsition he had exhibited to wards their enterprise, and lor the kind senti ments he had expressed relative to their coun try. iUr. Si'theklik, in liis address, acknow ledged that there had been ground tor suspect ing that Danville \v:is opposed to extending railroads beyond her limits; but a change had taken place, auu tile large public meeting which bent him and his colleagues were unani mous 111 lavor of the Coul Fields Road. He gave some strong views in its lavor. Incident ally lie alluded to large purchaser of tobacco in Richmond (over u thousand hogsheads in tho year) for the Danville manufacturers. He iuJVrred that this proved that Danville would pay more for tobacco than Richmond. [Gov. fiIoHEIIKAD, subsequently, in his speech, play fully brought forward Leaksvilie as a candi date for this honor of overtopping Richmond. He had no doubt that every man in Leaksvitle would tell you that Tweaks vi lie would pay more for tobacco than Richmond or Danville, which excited laughter.J He wauled to stop ilie totk'ieco in Danville. JLe said that the manufacturers in Danville, and in that part of the country, could lurnish a great deal of freight lor the Coal Fields and Central Road?. All their tobacco the South could take that route. A customer of his had directed him to wagon his tobacco across the country to Greer.E borougb, and there put it on the railroad; ami it cost more to wagon it that distance than it would to send the same tobacco to St. Louis, via Richmond and Baltimore! Of the five millions of ponnds of tobacco manufactured in Danville, one-half, hesaid, world pass over this Coal Fields route to the South. Messrs. Dickekson and ILkoud made ap propriate sheeches. Mr. Finns pledged his people to go forward earnestly and energeti cally with their road from High Point to Ger luautou. when the friends of ihe Coal Fields Road went to work. Governor Moreheau mnrle a capital ad dress, designed to stimulate the friends of the improvement in their exertions—especially those of Rockingham, who ho represented as completely bottled up, knowing little of the world, and especially in winter, being unable to leave their homes without the danger of sacrificing the lives of themselves and their horses. This was the most important day for Rockingham,he said, since the Revolution. He warned the people interested in the work against differences about points and routes let them take the best they could get. and thank God it was no wor-e. When they got the road to Danville, they congratulated themselves that they were within thirty miles of a railroad. He warned them against quarreling about points which were to be so much nearer to them.— He considered the building of a railroad now a small matter. When they built the Central Railroad of North Carolina they fixed the day for its completion Ist Jan nary, IHMi, and it was flnioheil on the :29th of that month—jnst v# days over the timet He urged that a day lie fixed now for completing the Coal Fields Road, when a voice cried out, "Two years." "I'm afraid that's too short," said the Gov ernor; "you have too many tobacco worms in Rockingham; but fix a day, after you are ready to go to work, and work to finish it by that,"time." He wanted to see the road built; not because he wanted to go to that great city of Richmond, of which we had heard so much, but that they might draw trade from Rich, mood ! A railroad ran both ways, arid so might trade; and trade being entirely recipro cal, it might, he reasoned, go both ways to the profit and advantage of both ends of the line. He made some very sensible remarks on the mutual relations of commerce. He spoke of the immense resources of the Dan River Val ley— its ooal, iron,'limestone, marble. Ac., and its agricultural resources. He described how, by this road, the interests of North Carolina would be advanced, as It would throw the great through travel, now lost to North Caro lina, upon her Central Railroad. Governor Mokkhkab enlarged upon each point in his speech here alluded to, and made •ome very happy and good humored hits. His •peech was applauded and had a good effect. Upon consultation, it vras determined, that thirty days'notice was necessary, before the company could organize; and, on motion of Mr. Settle, it was resolved to meet at Went worth agaiu oa the sth »f November, to elect officer*. Upon it being hinted that that day was the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, U was replied that it was all the better, an il was the consummation of tlw blowing up of the opposition of the Honte of Commons to the connection between the Danville and the Central (», Q.) Railroads' ? The meeting was strong in wealth and in flaenca, and none who saw its spirit, its de termination and harmony, can doubt the com pletion, at an early day, of the Coal Fields Railroad. The Richmond committee consisted of tUe following gentlemen: Messrs Joseph R. An derson, II M. liewltt, John Pnrcell. Samuel Ay res, Asa It. Dickenson, (of Prince want) Ja*. A. Cowardiu, A. h- Helladay, William t. Hill, and William A. Wright. Upon their arrival, oar Wednesday evening, they were received br Hr.Jjt J Clark, the accomplish, ed young Engineer, who, a* assistant to Col. B. M. Jon ed, surveyed the route of the Pat rick extension ©f the Danville Railroad.— They were conducted by him to the Tnuctall House, where a tfuod dinner awaited them.— After dinner they were placed in carriage* sent down tat them by soau. of thakiad and considerate gen tleroeii of Rockingham, to con v«y them to We»twonh. Starting on, their route immediately after dinner, they reached the hospitable mansion of Samvel Hai r*ton, Esq., at about du«(. There they were enter tained in the most bountiful style, the land lord and his dignified and estimable lady ap pearing to derive a hearty pleasure in pro moting the comfort of their guests—the frank cordiality and unpretending manners of the ma«tei®of th* house,contrasting widely and favorably with the ostentation and arro gance of many who have not a tithe of his wealth. De was computed, a few years since, to.be considerably tbe wealthiest man In Vir ginia He had more than a tbonsand slaves, owned a large number of plantations In the richest localities, and has been known to pro duce 'ight hundrti hoK-'h?atl< of tobacco in a year .' He lias rrh< rid himself of a portion of this large burthea of wealth, by settling off, most munificently, seA'eral children. His residence is in the edge of Pittsylvania, npon the Dan river, and overlooks one of the finest river views in its kind, imaginable.— The broad low-grounds of the Dan there ap pear magnificently, for their width, even ness and the rich growth iliat covers them.— What a blessing to be the Robinson Crusoe of such gloriously wide alluvial dominions ! and jet tbe calm and quiet, yet strong minded and wise owner takes all iliis, and an immense deal besides, in the quietest style imaginable. Leaving Mr. jHaIKSToVu Thursday morn ing, we leached Wentworth about 12 o'clock, where we made tbe acquaintance of a consid erable number of solid men of North Caroli na, aud especially of Rockingham. The pro ceedings of the meeting aud dinuer occupied s.ime fuur hours, and at the conclusion, our party returned on ourroute home by the same hospitable road we had taken when outward bound. A portion of us went to Dr. R. T. Hrotjxax's and the others returned to Mr. Haikstok'p. Dr. Bkouxax is a venerable and accom plished gentleman of the old school—a native of South-Side Virginia. lie enteriained his guests with the old Virginia hospitality, which sustains no injury, ns every man knows who lias been there, by being transferred to North Carolina. A lew of the Danville delegation joined us at (he Doctor's, and added largely, by their good humor and wit, to the enjoyment of the hour. The highlands of the Dan are here also amazingly broad and rich. From the Doctor's garden we looked out. upon a broad expanse of this sort of plain, that can hardly l*j excelled juiy where. Leaving our kind host on Friday morning, with the sinceresi regret that we could not stay longe.r, we came to Mr. Sa.mukl Wil sok's, where we epjoyed a most sumptuous dinner, and were treated in the kindest and most courteous manner by Mr. W. and lady. We were still looking down upon the broad, rich plains of the Can, which seemed to have bewitched us with his riches, and from whose enchantment it was almost impossible for us to escape. We did finally escape, ana after wind ing among its hills and once more crossing it, we reached Danville at dark, where those of us who had not hurried oft' at railroad speed, were splendidly entertained by the Mayor of the town, W.n. T. SuTiiKnux, E.-q., a most generous and genial gentleman, whose greatest delight seems to be in making those around him happy. Saturday, we Wt> adieu to all our friends and left for home. Seldom has it been the lot of any one to separate from such friends and from "such bountiful and generous cheer.— Certainly, it will be no difficult matter to in duce those expeditioners to the Dan to return to its hospitable shores ! And now, in conclusion, a word as to this glorious country. Thebrotd lowlands 1 lia\e described, exterd along the Dan, almost to those remarkable phenomena ot nature, the "Pinnacles of Dan"' in the western part ol Patrick. They are rich in the extreme. Is'ear the Dan there are occasionally wide plains, separated from it by a ridge, which appear to have been the beds of lakes. Of such are what are termed the "Meadows oLDan."— Beyond the head-waters of Dan, aftererossing a narrow ridge, we come upon those of the Yad kin, equally rich am I interesting toagricultur ists. When we consider these attractions, and add to them the mineral wealth, in coal, iron, marble, limestone. £c., we see what a field for labor, for enterpriser and adventure, here is.— Here, indeed, must be the abode of enterprise and prosperity; of wealth and refinement.— Remarkable for these attractions, it is yet a country of rare be;(uty, and those fountains of medicinal waters, and lovely mountain scenery, which abound in Virginia, are here niso found. So that when the railroad is built, here, too, will Fashion resort to while away the days and 'waltz with Time. What a revolution is in store for this magnificent How* its standard of values of lands and everything is yet to run up to what its plain and virtuous people now would con sider fabulous rates! Yet, will all this im- prove the morals increase the bappihess of the people ! 1 leave that to old fogies to discuss. Adieu. I wish you could givn me a colnmn or two more; but I am a merciful in dividual, and know when to stop ! I Oak of Them. Correspondence of the .Richmond Dispatch. Escape—Flour Inspections—Lieut. Maury, $c. LvscSiinrKa, Va., October id. It appears that Hubert 11. Overs tree t, the railroad overseer who murdered John Dug gan, near this city, an Monday last, has m;ide good bis escape, as no thin?; has been heard of him since he left. The death-blow was iu llieted with s. stick, and not with an iron bar, a? lias been stated. Duggan received bnt one blow, and thaton the side of the head, which split the skull the distance of nine ar.d a half inches, literally enroofing the brain. After committing the act Overatreet came to this city, wberv ho ha. a wife, arranged some ilnan cial affairs, and left for parts unknown.— These particulars are gathered from an eye witness, who states Duggau offered no vio lence to any one, butonly persisted in riding on the hand-car, from which he had been or dered by Overstreet. Our city is at present honored by the dis tinguished Capt. 'William F. Maury, lie is en route, lor Nashville, where he is expected to deliver an address on the 11th inst., before the Agricultural Society of that city. There were eighteen thousand six hundred and fifty-three barrels of llour inspected here during the quarter ending :ltith September, IK>!>, and seven thousand six hundred and twenty-one hogsheads of tobacco. For the corresponding quarter of last year there were eight thousand eight, hundred and thirty-two hogsheads inspected, which shows the same tailing off that has been observable in other places. Business of all kinds, for the past week, has been very irregular, without any change in the market. Pinkney. Exile of the PorE.—The following start ling announcement appears in the editorial correspondence of the Courier ties Etats Unis: '#Pius IX. has abandoned the project of in terfering by force of arms in the affairs of the Legation, but, in revenge, he has manifested afresh and more energetically than ever, the intention of abandoning Rome and accepting the asylum offered to him in the Balearic Isle# by Spain. This voluntary exile uf the Chief of Christendom will be a fact of which it is easy to appreciate the gravity, and France is exerting her utmost influence to prevent it.— Our Ambassador to the Holy See, M. de Gram mont, has just arrived in Paris, for the second time in less than a month, to make the Em pe- <r thoroughly acquainted with the real state of things, and to receive instructions how to act in this imminent crisis. It is main ly owing to his efforts that blood has not flow ed in the Romagna, and that the Pope is still at the Vatican; but we are informed that he is the bearer, on behalf af the Holy Father, of a sort of ultimatumfrom which there is no hope that Pius IX. will recede. If the astuteaessof Napoleon 111. should be insufficent to get rid of this last and most decisive complication, we are on the eve of tjte most solemn crisis in the history of Europe." Rem arkablb.—Sometime la March last an old gentleman, residing for many years in I)avie, was sitting iu his ho rise, a few feet from an open window, wtaien a dove flew in and alighted an bis shoulder. He kept his seat, but called his daughter, who was in an adjoin ing room, to come quickly. She came in, and pointing to the bird, h* told her to take it off and put it in a cage, and take good careof it as long as it lived. She »e»tly lifted the bird off and caged it as directed, tor father remarking to her at the same time, "My race is nearly over; I shall die ia tw<» weeks." He was than in ordinary health; but straage to say, he died that day two weeks. The bird is yet in its cage, and in the possesion of the family, who regard it with feelings of peculiar aadiiws.— (iatisbury (N. C.) Watch*'!*.

I-MPOitTS of I)itv Qoods,—The imports of foreign dry goods at the port of New York for the month just ended have been smaller than for any previous month this year, amounting, in the aggregate, to f?j,!«xi,<i7a. The total im ports of dry goods for the last nine months is ?!.'•!,t'.ip,!!*?!". against §-17,707,2! !.j for the same time last year. The stock of goods in bond has again decreased, while in September, 1?37, nearly one-third of all tfee dry goods landed were thrown into the warehouse. The Journal of Commerce says: The remainder of the year must show a large increase on the l;ist quarter of lbf>7. for the ag gregate receipts for the remaining threemonths of that year were less than seven and three quarter million. We think, also, that the im ports for the next three months will show a further gain upon last year; but of this there is l".-a certainty. The importers have been dis couraged by heavy losses, and some have coun termanded their orders. Ice Watib.—lt is only when we are de prived of it. that we appreciate the blessings of ice water, which is now one of the cheapest of our luxuries. Mr. llillard, in one of his letters to the Boston Courier, writes what many an American traveler has experienced : "The water in London is detestable; when you drink it you are remiudecLof a weak solu tion of Epsom salts, and when you wash in it, of the sand in which the Arabs, when in the desert, are allowed to perform their ablu tious. "Why the English are a nation of beer drinkers is perfectly intelligible to any one who comes to England, llow my soul litis panted here for the ice waters of home, and how ray ear has languished for the musical rattleof the melting crystal against the sides of the pitcher—a sound sweeter in a hot„Uay than harp or dulcimer." The Kansas Gold.—After all the contra dictory reports which have reached us from the mines in Kansas, the fact seeras at last settled that there is gold in the mining region, and that various shipments to the aggregate amount of have actually been made. A tabular statement, published in the Leaven worth Daily Times, gives a detailed accoujit of the receipts from May 18 to August 15; from which it appears that the business firms in Denver City and Auroria have received S?72,flfts from miners, and that of this sum, have been shipped to other ports.— Neither of the sums named is a year old, and these results of three months' business are re garded as gratifying indications. The express which left Denver City in the middle of Sep tember, carried away $23,000 in addition; bringing up the total yield to the figure of SIM,WW. A Sensitive Horse Dealer.—Last spring, a Mr. Fellett, of Ulysses, sold a team of horses for S3><>, receiving $.">0 to bind the bargain. Subsequently the price of horses depreciated, and ihe buyer resorted to the trickery of per suading Fellett that he had been cheated, to in duce linn to give up the £5 i and £;> to get his horses back.

Krtapt of Ike Bigamitt.—We noticed, la yes terday»» iittpatrk, the arrest of John Gh Bowed, charged with bigamy, and hi* diachArce soon after by the Mayor. Bowen is said to have married his first wife ten years ago, and be. coming tired of her, repaired to Portsmouth, w<>oed and won another young lady, was uni ted io her on Tuesday la«i, in the lioly bonds of wedlock, and then brought her to this city. On Saturday hwt, the uncle of thesecond wife, on learning that Bowen was a married man before he saw his niece, telegraphed the police of Richmond to arrest him on the charge ol bigamy, promising to come up and sustain the charge by the llrst conveyance. Capt. "Wil kinson, of the Night Watch, arrested Bowen and locked him up iu the tlrst station-house, where he remained until It o'clock last Snn day, when the Mayor discharged him from custody, on the representation of certain par ties that the accused was a persecuted man.— . Some two or three hours alter this, a gentle man arrived from Portsmouth to make good the charge; but, to his astonishment, learned that Bowen had been set at liberty. The Mayor very promptly issued a warrant for Bowen's re-arrest, and the police were sent iu every direction to capture him ; but, thron-h aid of friends, he had made his escape, and up to yesterday morning was at large. Of course the police will do all they can to re-capture him, and may possibly succeed, though that Is very doubtful. We shall see. Pool Betting has become so fashionable on most of the race courses iu this couutry, that few persons ever think of'-laying a dollar" in any other way, when more than two entries are to start for a purse. The system is very much like that of "book making'' iu Knglaud, and often gives "outsiders" an opportunity of winning handsome purses by risking a small sum. To illustrate: Five horses are named to start for the Proprietor's Purse: Planet, John Li, Ashland. Kosebudand Minnehaha. A pool ot StJOO is proposed to be made up, and Planet is first otl'ered. Mr. A. buys him at sflut), and therefore bets him even against the Held. John Lis next put np and Mr. B. bny* him at Btio, thereby betting Stiti against 8140 that his purchase wins. Ashland is next sold to Mr. C. for 5"2.5, so that he bets against 8175 that his purchase wins, llosebud Is bought lor Sltt by Mr. !>., who bets 810 against BWu. And Minnehaha brings 83, so that Mr. E-bets agaiqpt Sl!fi that Miune wins. Iu Virginia racing, within the past ten years, the "fielders" have been far more successful than the "knowing ones," as the state of the odds will show, and the same result may follow this spring. To enable betters to lay their montw judiciously, a pool-room will be opened at the Ballard House to-night, and be kept open until the close of the Ashland races, thus enabliug all speculators to iuvest just what they may wish. If an entry is Bold for a race and does not start, the purchaser has his money, restored, so that he cannot lose without having had a chance to win. Before the races commence at Fairfield aud Ashland, we shall endeavor to give a correct list of the horses in training and likely to start iu stakes or purses. Ft rious Accident at the Coal Pits.—A serious accident occurred at the Midlothian Coal Pits, in Chesterfield county, on Thursday last, by which one man lost his lile aud an other was buried so shockingly that it is fear ed he will bea cripple ever after, if he survive* his in juries. Thn circumstances, as related 10 us, were these: Ft*hey Coxsos aiul Geokgk Fahbly, two miners, descended the shaft to commence work, Coxson being in ud wince with an open burning lamp and au unlighted safety lamp. After getting to the "drilt," through which they were to pass, Coxson failed to light the safety lump and extinguish the open one, and the consequence was, that he soon cuou- in contact with the font gas, which instantly ignited and exploded, burn ing him so dreadiully that he died shortly al ter, aud also burning Fahrly badly. No dam age was sustained by the works. The accident is represented as being the result of careless ness. Th'otr?.—The re-engagement of Miss Coombs ' has given great satisiaction to her many ad mirer?, who will doubtless endeavor to wit ness her representation, to-night, of "Lady (lav Spanker," in Hourcicault s fashionable comedy of "Ljndon Assurance,"—a play that is always looked forward to with unusual in terest by the friends of the drama, every where. Miss Coombs, though quite young, has given unmistakable evidence of rare his trionic talent, and only needs that schooling which time will give, to enrol her among the first tragediennes ot this country During the progress of the play a magnificent garden will tie exhibited, occupying the entire stage, and tilled with rich exotics and plants, vase* and statuary, which must prove a most at tractive feature. Dedication.—The Li. I. IJlues, Lieut. Maule, intend dedicating their new and handsome armory, over the engine houses on ltith atreet, on the" 19th OT October next. This "venerable" curjis now has enrolled ninety-six members, good and true, aud will parade not less than seventy-five men at the regimental muster.— Towards the latter part of the month the coinpany t expcct to tender the command to a gentleman in every way qualified to take charge of it, and one that will devote much of his spare time to its interests. The Blues ought to be and will be sustained because of its ancient renown, and it is gratifying to no tice with what praiseworthy energy Lieut. Maule, aided by his brother officers, have gone to work to rejuvenate it. Discovery of a Dead Bo<ly.—Yesterday morn ing the dead body of a white man, very much decomposed and" swollen, was discovered in the dock near the east side of the south abut ment of 17th street, and made fast with a rope. Coroner Pkachey was sent for to examine the corpse, aud did so, but could discover nothing by which the body could be identified. He therefore ordered it to be buried aa speedily as possible. Judging from appearances, the unfortunate man was ot German origin, light hair, and probably thirty-live years of age. He evidently felt into the dock several weeks since. Wife Whipping.—Charles Madison,a denizen of Valley street, came before the Mayor yes terday, to answer for assaulting and beating his wife. When watchman Bozo heard the cries for help, and went to the relief of the poor woman, Madison turned ujwn him like a wounded tiger, aud after letting his tongue run at electric spcedfor a minute or two, tried the virtue of his maulers, whereupon the offi cer gave a sockdolager directly from the right shoulder that capsized him, aud then took him to the station-house. The Mayor committed him to prison in default ol bail for his future good behavior. Narrow Chance.—A strange woman appeared at the watch Uou».e, yesterday alternoon, In a stato of great alarm, aud in search ol * doctor for her poor ahiid. Ou toini asked what wait the matter with the iufant»»hn.*aid that a lit tle boy, only six years old, had taken a tin cup filled with whisker, from her cup-board, and drank it, and that he was then helpless and speechless. She was directed to Dr. Pico t, and her boy was no doubt saved by hi* timely ar rival. The little chap had probably learned the art of imbibing from his good natured mamma. Want of Praeiit*.—Tbe members of the Fire 1 Brigade are called out so seldom to extinguish tires, that some of them are not so quick in their move axe a is, when needed, as they might be. The grand reason, however, for their ap peariug to be slow to reach fires at night, is attributable to the fact that they are not about the engine houses at any lime, unless required to be there, and generally have to run some distance to get their engines and reels aft r the alarm is given. With this explanation, those who complain of the tardiness of the firemen vriil probably be satisfied. Unprovoked Aitautt. — James McDonougb, one of the b'hoys, when on a bender, met Jas. Duke in 17th street, last Saturday, and with out giving him the slightest warning, knocked him down, and was aßuut to mend hip blows, when he was arrested and taken to the lock up. Yesterday morning, oa appearing bcto** the Mayor, Mac apologised for what to* had doue, and attempted to put the blame on whtskey, hat bis Honor would hear no "oca excuse.
