The Emharsa.s

'Gov Clark some time ago issued his proclamation
forbdding the transportation of Bacon Leather and
Shoes from the State, except when done at the-in-
stance Of the Confederate government. A short
time after, considerable quantity of bacon &C.,
was seized at this depot en- route for Virginia More
recently shoes and bacon were seized at Godsboro.
The object of the Governor was to put d stop to
the neanness of spectators, who, notwithstanding
the exorbtant prices and scarcity of these articles
in the State, we're draining it of them to get still
higher prices out of it.; The name of every such
specuiator ought to be published and the ban of So.
ciety should be put upon them. MANY of our poor
are almost starving and our poor soldiers are with
out shoes and yet these vampires do not care who
sinks, so they can swim
We learn that number Of these speculators are
now in different parts of the State buying up every
thing they can turn to profit and are .scnding out
their purchases by wagons so as to elude the au.
thorties. We say nothing of the constitutionality
of the act of the Governor. The object was good
one and it ought to have been legalzed but as the
Legislature in Its hurry failed to do SO, we presume
the Council of State will, when it convenes next
week.

Opinions Of the Stay Law.
he Fayetteville O6seryer saws:

/" InE STAY LAw.-We are indebted to Sheriff
McNeill for the first copy we have seen Of this act
which may, With more truth than any other that we
remember, be called a bill of abominations' We
consider it decidedly more Objectionable than the
law which the Supreme Court set aside as unconsti-
tutional. 1t destroys the rights of creditors and
the credit Of debtors, for who win trust ANYBODY
with such law staring them in the face? Or who
can ask to be trusted?
With the jurisdiction of the county Courts in a
year, man may hope to get q judgment on plain
debt in about ten years. And after a Judgment no
ca sa is permitted 0hat is, we suppose It was in
tended to say so at the beginning Of Sec 8, though
the word no is omitted) Defendants are allowed; to
take appeals, manifesty to gain time only, without
giving security for judgments or costs!
II is sad to see the Constitution, the Laws and
the Courts, abolished. 1t bodies no good to any
honest man, whether rich or poor; but is license
to Offenders great and small from the murderer to
the petty thief many of whom will escape all pun
ishment by the delay Of year. And if all such
should be arrested the ails will be filled and enor-
nous costs entaled on the counties for feeding the
prisoners"
The Milton Chronicle says:
Our Legislature having enacted another stay law,
abolished the county Courts abolished all hut ono
annual term of the Superior Court and literally
abolished all State Government hast is to be sim
cerey abolished itself ere this and let it re-
main abolished until Gabriel blows his horn. We
would like to get the yeas and nays on the vote to
abolish the Convention; we wish 70 show the vote
to the people.

NORTH CAROLINA GREEN TEA.-The Washington
Dispatch announces that Mr. Selby Spence Of Hyde
county, has succeeded in raising ten or twelve bush
els of green tea-the veritable China tea-on his
premises the present year. The seed were obtained
years ago from an English Captain and the Dispatch
thinks, that Mr. Spencers experiment demonstrates
that it be successfully raised in this State 1t
is said to make beverage nearly equal to the China
tea. a.
1t is certainly worthy the attention of planters
and gardeners in the State. Can the seed be OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Spencer?
