! STIRRING SCENE IN TIE NORTH CAROLINA
| CoNNENTloN.-Thec correspondent Of the Gin
clnnatl Gazette describes the address of Mr..
Nathaniel Boydton on the ordinance lcclar-
! ing the act OF secession to have been without
legal force, as one which thrilled the assembly
and contoundcd the rebel sympathizerS. liz
says:
Mr.. Nathaniel Boylton rose to reply. lie

ted the ordinance in question lie is one of
the ablo>t lawyers in the State, and through

would attract attention i'll the National Senate
Chamber. His eyes We're wet with tears, but
his Voice was steady, and sounded sharp and
| clear IN the general hush
In the present state of affairs he deemed it
ot the utmost Importance that the identical
language OF the ordinance should be used of
the utmost importance to affirm that there was
never any legal power To abrOCate the Ordi-
nance of l7S9. Before the ordinance of lS6l
the State occupied her true position, and all
her rights under the Constitution were granted
to her. 1t Is now Of the greatest Importance
that We should affirm that We have always been
entitled to those rights, and only deprived of
them by military force. lie desired, when the
State should present herself at Washington, to
put 1t out OF the power Of any to refuse admiS-
Sion, any more IT the ordinance Of 1861 had
never been passed. lie appealed to all to con-

maintain that the State had all the time been |

every rebel quail by his words. If the Ian |

called It out. iii was unusual, So was thiSa

ARKANSAS. S.-ArkanSas has gone directly at
work to make the best of her condition. In
stead of whining over the negro, and the GER
tainty of his starving to death, now that he re-
ceiycS the benefit of the whole of his labor, the
peopIe have gone to work to adjust the ques-
ton practically. The colored population is
free from pauperism and distress In many
cases negroes have rented great plantations,
and then sub-rcnted them. Many ofthe plan.
ters have shown a desire to keep from the ne.
rrocs the information that they are free. In
some eases the deception has succeeded. The
question Of negro suffrage is being agitated-
Thc unconditional Union men are in favor of
granting to them the right of suffrage, but this
is bitterly opposed At the last session of the
Legislature an attempt to repeal the law ev-
Guiding negro testimony from the courts failed
But in one of the Congressional districts, nm
ex-rebel officer, who aspires to be Congress
man, advocates the measure. The progress in
liberal sentiment is marked.
Emigration aid societies are being establish
ed to show the advantages to white labor to
emigrate to that State. Arkansas has an area
OF 81, l9S square miles, and extends in the great
valley oI the Mississippi from the line Of 80 to

There are no very important criminal cases to

case to be brought before the Superior Court,
which will be important to peach men. A
number of peach growers in the county have
brought suit against the Railroad Companv
for damages sustained by them last year in
consequence Of the Company not furnishing
sufficient, speedy and safe transportation for
their peaches, whereby the fruit was left to
rot at the dcpots, conveyed to market too late
or destroyed in the transit Prominent law

Ist Question, Why is this loan called ''Seven
Thirty" loan7
Answer. 1t bears interest, in currency. at
the rate Of seven dollars and thirty cents,
each year on every hundred dollars.
ID. Ques. When and now can they be OBJ
taifed7
Ans. They are for sale at par. at the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GALL
POLLS.
Sd. Ques. When is the interest payable, and
how can it be colleeted7
Ans. On the 18th Of June and 18th Of De-
cember Of each year, and can be collected
through the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
GALLrP0LIS.
9TH. Ques When must the Government pay
off these 1905?
Ans. Three years from 18th of June, 1865.
5th Ques. Must receive back my money as
soon as 1868?
/ Ans. MOI not unless you prefer TO do So
the law gives you the right to demand from
the Government, at that time, either your
money, or an equal amount at par in 500
Gold bearing 6 per cent loan.
9Th. Ques. III should need my money, be
fore 1861, to invest in anything else, how
could l get it?
Ans, These bonds will always be saledbls,
as the interest is paid every six months and
they cannot be taxed by States, Counties or
| Towns, and this saves you from two to five
per cent on your income,
7th How does the Government raise the
money to pay the interest, and is it safe and
sure?
| Ans. The Government collects, by taxes,
internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is
nearly three times as much as is needed to pay
the interest on sll the debt, and as soon as
the war is ended, the amount not needed u
pay the interest will be used in paying of
the debt. Our Government has paid off all he5
debt, and can easily do so again. The interest
is sure to be paid promptly. and the debt
itself is the very safest investment in the
world. 1t is as safe as a mortgage on good
farm, and pays a better interest. 1t is, IN
fact, a First Mortguge on all lands, all incomes
all railroad and canal bonds, and bank ol
other stocks, mortgages dc, d.
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
for it, and all that we'have is held and firmly
bound for the payment of principal and in
terest. How foolish those people are, who
keep idle, and locked up, their gold and
greenbaeks, or purchase mortgages or railroad
stocks and bonds, which pay only or 6 pei
cent. interest, when these Seyen-Thirties pay
Counting the preenium on Five-Twenties,,
over ten per cent, and are so much safer and
surer.
