The Asheville Neos says M. Patton, ESQ.,,
who was delegate to the Raymond Phila-
delphia Convention, recently made speech
in that place, in which he dealt the Howard
amendment " some heavy blows" Mr.. Pat
ton is very severe on the Northern radicals.
He is, himself, a Southern jeff Davis radi-
cal. He voted to send the last poor boy to
the war, to be slaughtered to build up
Southern radiealism. He ought to be thank
full that he is permitted to remain in Bum
combe, without putting on airs and attempt
ing to dictate to the people. Nh. Patton
knows, if he knows any thing, that the very
Henry J. Raymond, who wrote the resolu.
tions and address of the Philadelphia Con-
Vention, coted IN tue House Of Representatives.
Jor tile HOaoard amendment. Why did he
not tell the whole truth to the people -
Why did he not say, Fellow-citizens, the
man who was my leader and spokesman at
Philadelphia, voted in Congress for the
Howard amendment. Iendorsed the amend
ment when 1 was in Philadelphia, by en-
dorsing him; but in Buncombe, 1 am op-
posed to the amendment" That would have
been the truth, but truth is never told when
the object is to gull and mislead the people.
Let the Unionists of Buncombe keep an eye
on NJ. Patton.

TAXATION to Pay the Rebel Debt,

Taxation to Pay the Rebel Debt.
We publish to-day the proceedings of a
meeting of citizens of Wilson County, pro-
testing against being taxed to pay the rebel
debt.
We learn that the County tax in Chowan
has been raised to double the amount of the
State tax, for the purpose of paying this
debt A friend writing us from Edenton,
says:
" The local tyranny of the State is what
we have to complain of here. The County
Court, composed wholly of men who partici-
pated in the rebellion, have doubled the
taxes upon our people, and imposed the, bur-
dens upon those least able to bear it. ! en-
close you tax bill, in which you will per-
ceive that the County has levied just double
the State tax. This is not only oppressive,
but is calculated to diminish the revenues of
the State, for people will not list property
where such enormous exactions are made
upon it. Indeed, do not think it was ever
contemplated by the Convention or Legisla-
lature that the power of a County Court
should exceed that of the taxing power Of
the State"
If the leading war men, and Others inter
ested in this debt, had absolute control in
this State, they would grind our people to
the dust with taxes to pay the rebel debt.
These people regard this rebel debt as much
more sacred than the national debt of the
United States.

RUDE TREATMENT OF A COUPLE OF Con-
FEDERATE SoLDIERs.-We learn that few
weeks since two manned soldiers, Robert c.
Tilly and Henry Pickett, returning from
Raleigh, where they had been to get artif-
cial limbs, attempted to get on the cars,
when tine following dialogue occurred -
" Conductor Where are you going2 Sol
dier-To Durham's. Conductor-Not on this
coarh. This coach is for gentlemen. You
may ride in yonder car" pointing to an old
dirty box that had been attached for the
brakemen to ride in.
We infer from the letter addressed to us,
that these manned soldiers had to do as
they were told, in order to get home. These
manned veterans are entitled to respect and
sympathy. They would have received more
respect and attention than they did in this
instance, if they had been travelling in
Maine or Michigan. We do not know who
the Conductor was If we have done him
injustice, we will cheerfully set him right
before the public.

The Sentinel says "the principle of the
Howard amendment would exclude the law
yers from Office" This is not true, and the
Sentinel knew it was not true when the Edi-
tors penned it. The amendment provides
that mo person shall hold any office, civil
or military, under the United States, or un-
der any State, who, having previously taken
an oath as member of Congress, or as an
officer of the United States, or as member
Of any State Legislature, or as an executive
or judicial officer of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States, shall
have engaged in insurrection or rebellion
against the same. or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof" A lawyer is not an
ofice-holder. A lawyer is not an officer of
any kind. The Sentinel knew this when it
published the above. The persons excluded
are clearly pointed out in the above extract
from the amendment. No oprofession of any
kind is banned or excluded. Will the Sen
tinsl come forward and admit that, in this
matter, it has attempted to deceive its read
ers2 Of course not. Its cause prospers
only by perversion and Misrepresentation.

Public Meeting.

At public meeting of the citizens Of vii.
son County, held at the Court House In VII
son on Saturday, the 9th, of September,
1886:
The meeting was organized by appointing
James Wiggins, Esq, Chairman, and Ran
som Hinnant, Esq, Secretary.
On motion, committee of seven were ap-
pointed to draft resolutions for the action. OF
the meeting, consisting of the following per-
sons G.. W. Stanton, g. j. Rountree, VIM.
Hinnant, J. W. Aycock, Calvin Woodland,
John Bridgers and Albert Farmer, who ne
ported the following preamble and resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted;
zi WHEREAS, It has been time honored
memorable custom of our people to assem-
BILE in public meeting for deliberation and
consultation; and whereas, the County Court
of Wilson county, at its July Term, 1850,
assumed the payment of debt which was
created in aid of the rebellion, and did pro-
ceed to levy taxes to be collected for the pay-
) ment of the same in defiance ofan ordinance
of the Convention prohibiting the counties
from levying taxes to pay any part OF the
rebel war debt; Therefore, .ss.
Reso1ped, That we, the people OF wilson
County, in public meeting assembled, do
hereby protest against the action Of the
Court in assuming the payment OF said debt:
1st Because it has been declared null and
void by the Convention. I'd. 1t is very un-
Just that the men who left their homes and
imperilled their lives in the war, should now
be taxed unnecessarily for the benefit OF 2
few who remained at home favored with
petty Offices
Resolced, That we, the people of Wilson
County, feel highly aggrieved and 10th to
permit few Of our citizens to receive i've
loaves, whilst Others whose claims are equal
ly as strong receive none.
ResolUed, That we, as people, feel willing
to bear the burden of taxation and will go
hand in hand in fulfilling all the requirements
demanded at our hands when equitably ad-
justed, but will never submit to be taxed in
defiance of law, nor will We support any one
for office who favors the payment of the said
rebel debt.
Rssozced, That we recommend the County
Court to appoint committee of seven, con-
sisting of the following persons: G. w.
Stanton, VIM. Woodard, James Wiggins, j.
e.. Williams, Wm c. Ellis, DR.. ]. M. Taylor
and ]. W. Aycock, to investigate the finan-
ces of this county from July Term 1851, to
July Term 1865, and report to the Court.
On motion, the Secretary was requested to
furnish copy of the proceedings of this
meeting to the editors ofthe Raleigh Standard
and Wilson Carolinian for publication, and
request other papers to copy the same.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

sinking. sinking I, Sinking u.

The Raleigh Sentinel is rapidly sinking
into the use of that low, vulgar slang which
is the offspring of a vitiated taste, and new
er fails to recoil upon him who indulges in
it as well as to disgrace the public press.
We regret to see this, but it is no more than
was prophesied of it when it was first given
out that the present junior editor was to con-
duct it.. He wrote the Raleigh Register and
the Wing party to death some years ago,
and the Sentinel and its party will share the
same fate, unless Its editorial columns are
speedily confded to more competent and
discreet pen.-Ne,o6ern Times.

Raleigh National Bank of North
Carolina.

At meeting of the Directors of this Bank,
held on the 25th inst we learn that Col Jos.
S. Cannon, having removed to Norfolk, Va.
rendered his resignation as member OF the
Board, and that w. H. Willard, Esq, was
elected to fill the vacancy.
Also, that the President, Mr.. Geo. W.
swepson, having determined not to movehis
residence to Raleigh, resigned his position,
whereupon Robt. W. Pulliam of the House
of Pulliam, Jones & Co., was chosen to fill
the position thus made vacant. The Board
of Directors now consists of r. w. Pulliam,
President, Gee. W. Swepson, Cyrus P. Men
denhall, W. II. Willard. and W. B. Gulick,
Cashier.
We learn also that the stock of the Bank
has been raised to $4,000 by the increased
subscription of the original stockholders and
the addition Of new stock, and that it is pro-
posed to increase the capital stock immedi-
ately to one hundred thousand dollars
Persons wishing to make an investment of
this KIND, can call at the Bank, where full IN
formation can be obtained.
The places of Messrs. Swepson and Cannon,
well-informed as they are in financial affairs,
will be well supplied by Col. Pulliam and
Mr.. Willard. We are glad to record the fact
that this institution is prospering. We trust
the capital will be increased to 100000
We would be glad to see it raised to $780,
900. We know the fact that this institution
is doing all in its power to accommodate our
people and to increase the circulation.
We are gratifed to learn that Mr. Willard
feels quite sure that the he will be able to es-
tablish his mandatory of cotton goods in
this City. Our community, and indeed our
State, will owe much to his enterprise and
enlightened iberality.

Keep it Before the People,

That Jonathan Worth has been in Office
nine months, and that he has done nothing
to restore the State to the Union.
That his chief employment has been to
rip up and destroy the Presidents plan-to
turn Union men out of office, and to reno
vate the Capitol. That is about all. If he
has done any thing to benefit the State-to
tighten the taxes on our impoverished peo-
pie, or to restore the State to the Union, let

office as County Attorney, he cannot be a

:" We trust that every voter in this State
will go to the polls on that day, and let the
majority for Worth be decisive-say GO, 600.
and if this vote is to keep us out of the
Union go years longer, let us give it, and
prove by acts, that though defeated in the
field, we have not forgotten our rights, as

Beware of Roorbacks!
The last Charlotte Times saws:

The last Charlotte Times says:
" The election of the Holden candidate for
Governor will result in the disfranchise-
ment OF two-thirds of the white voters and
the enfranchisement of the negroes"
Now, in the first place, there is no Holden
candidate for Governor. Gen. Dockery is
the Union candidate, and Gov. Worth is the
secession candidate.
In the second place, there is no PROPOSE
ton before the country to disfranchise whites
or enfranchise negroes. But if the radicals
should obtain complete control in the next
Congress, and if the proposed constitutional
amendment, which leaves the question of
suffrage to the States, and disfranchises no
white voter. should not be ratified, reorgani-
zatlon, con6scation, and negro suffrage will
be sure to follow.
The Times will please make the necessary
correction by laying these facts before its
readers.
