Philadelphia manufacturers, if we can believe
their own newspapers, have curious habit OF
undertaking the production Of their works,
for fear the truth might encourage competition,
and even refusing to tell WHITTIER Their goods
are sent, lest rivals should get possession OF
their markets. This does little credit to
The sagacity of Pennsylvania business mem
but in spite of such small policy, the public
are beginning to see how mnch n protective
tariff has done for manufactures in Philadel-
phia within the last eight or nine years, and
how rapidly that city is becoming a great IN
dustrial center in 1860 the amount of capital
invested in manufactures there was little
over $15OOO,OOO; now We are assured that it is
above $lJO,0OO,OOO.

It's way into print in Iowa, and which we give

The Paris MonHeur asserts that all the Euro
pean Powers agree in recommending King
George to respect the rights of nations, and
that they insist upon moderation in CONSTANT
inople as well as in Athens. We suppose Rus
sia insists chiefly in Constantinople and France
in Athens. 1t is now reported that Greece has
yielded to the ultimatum Whether this is true
OF not, we consider it improbable that there
will be any war,

Gen. Thomas, as modest as he is brave, has

Duplin and Onsloxv.

The Executive Committee of Duplin and
Onslow have nominated Col. WILLIAM A.
ALLEN, of Duplin, for the Senate, from the
District composed of these twn counties.
We are glad to be able to say tlat Colonel
Allen will accept the nomination. 4 friend
writes from KeDansville that "our ticket
is now complete, and as know the mate
rial out of which it is made is of Eu'e c0lo1-,
no fears need be entertained about its tri-
umphant success. We are united, Or
ganized and determined to lead the SCALA
wags in these two counties ct lectS1 Il M0u-
sand rotes."
We endorse the sentiments of our friend.
When party puts forward such gentle
men as compose the tickets in Duplin and
Lnslow success is assured. Indeed,
throughout the entire State the best evi-
dence of victory rests in the character, in
duence and intelligence of the candidates
of the Conservative party. Never before in
North Carolina, nor in any other State, was
there such an array Of distinguished names
offered for the suffrage of the people.

Speaking in RIaden.

Upon the return of the delegates from
the District Convention at Lumberton, the
train was detained for al hour or two at
Brown Marsh. Quite large collection of
the citizens of that vicinity being present,
called upon several of the delegates, who
responded. Speeches were made by Col
Rob't Strange, Captains 81. q. Brock and
S. Galloway and Maj. J. A. Engelhard.
The speeches were received with marked
attention and applause. Everywhere the
people manifest the most intense desire to
hear speakers and become fully acquainted
with the issues of the contest, and we are
satisfied that at the present time there is
no means so efficacious of reaching the
masses as the hustings. Our public speak
ers must make up for the want of mail
facilities and means upon the part of the
people which deprive them of the newspa-
pers and printed documents. The patriotic
citizens of North Carolina require only to
understand the questions at issue to vote
down the bastard attempt to humiliate, de,
grade and ruin them.

RauIPni HSu-SlS.

We published the fact few days ago
that Turner, scailawag delegate from Har-

tion, living but thirty miles from Raleigh,
took pay for FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY.
pilfering from the State Treasury ONE HUN
DRED AND FOUR dollars when he was enti-
tied to t,relce only. 1t seems that Turner
is not the only delegate who has been steal
ing from the public crib. One Hood, a
negro preacher from Fayetteville, living
only Sirty miles from Raleigh, received for
mileage ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR dollars and
EIGHTY cents instead OF tacentyfour dollars,
which was all he was entitled to. We sup
pose his next sermon will be from the text
"Thou shalt not steal"
White people of North Carolina ! The
little property left to you, upon which you
can barely meet present taxes, must be
subjected to an enormous increase of the

Conservative Meeting ut Biadenboro', N. &.
-MeSsrS. Editors According to previous
notice meeting of the White Mems party
was held at this place Thursday, the Goth
inst. Notwithstanding the short notice
and inclemency of the weather there was
an unusually large assembly-such as is
seldom seen in this section on such occa-
sions. They met at an early hour, though
it was understood that there would be no
speaking until the train arrived at half-past
eleven o'clock, which was to bring Mai.
Engelhard and Col. Walter l.. Steele, ora
tors of the day. When these gentlemen
stepped from the cars they were welcomed
with three hearty cheers. The crowd theu
| assembled at the platform in front of Mr..
j. W. Clarks store, where the speaking
was to take place.
On motion, Capt. T. Bryan was called to
the Chair, aud Mr.. j. W. Clark requested
to act as Secretary.
The meeting was then called to order
AS there were no resolutions to prepare,
ing, Maj. Engelhard was called on to lead
in the discussion.
We shall not attempt 10 give even a synop-
sis of the Majors speech, for we should fail
to do him justice. 1t is sufficient to say
that it was most appropriate thing. He
adapted his language to the plain matter
of fact, characteristic of his audience.
speaking the plain truth in plain language,
and not as Blackstone would say, perplexed
their understanding Gin the mazes of his
metaphysical jargon and scholastic disqui-
sition." Frequent cheers manifested the
delight of the audience.
Col. Steele then followed in that bold
and emphatic manner characteristic of
himself. He led off by saying that he had
been told by an Internal scoundrel Ia Yam
kee presentl that he had no rights or priv
ileges, but that he contended he did
have rights and privileges, and that he in
tended to assert them then and there, Of
fend who it might.
A good portion of the Colonel's remarks
were directed especially to the colored
men, portraying to them their dependent
condition and the ignoble manner in which
the Yankees had duped them under the
garb of friendship. Hegave them convincing
proofs of these facts, and challenged con-
tradiction. which brought many of them to
see the error of their ways, whether or not
they ever turn from them.
Col. Richardson, the Conservative can
didate for Solicitor in this district, was
then called out. Notwithstanding the Col,
onels fatigue, having footed it all the way
from Lumbetton, there being no train
down that day, he responded in a style
rerlete with good humor and common
sense. He said that he had filed many po-
sitions in life and acted many parts, but
never before had he acted the part of 10.

It will be seen that with the exception of
the Senator to be nominated from Bruins
wick, cur county ticket is now complete.
Look at it, fellow-citizens. It merits your
support. and we believe it will meet the
approval and receive the aid of every re-
spectacle man in the county, white and
black. Every man upon it is thoroughly
identified with the State and county and in
full sympathy with the people, in marked
contrast with the strangers, adventures,
negroes and scallawags who compose the
opposing ticket.

Farmers Club or Spring Garden and Rocky
Point.

This body continues to hold its monthly
meetings with marked punctuality, and
the proceedings are always interesting.
For more than two years past the art and
science of agriculture, in their varied and
important relations, have been at each
monthly meeting receiving the devoted
attention of the members in the form of
debates, essays, lectures, &C., and IN this
way much progress has been made IN this
useful and noble pursuit, and q vast amount
of practical and scientific knowledge has
been accumulated for the common good Of
each member. Theory and practice are
combined in the critical examinations of
farms, modes Of culture, &C., and the
pleasant discussions and interchange of
views and experience which prevail at each
meeting, held at some members residence.
The March meeting was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Joel Hines, on Saturday last.
It was the time for the annual election of
officers. The old officers, who had given
entire satisfaction, nevertheless resigned,
in compliment to other members, who, in
the opinion of the old officers, are entitled
to distribution of the official honors of the
Club. In this respect, worthy example
has been shown, especially to shat selfish,
prOscriptive. ever ambitious class of politi-
Cal aspirants who are now seeking, by most
unworthy means, TO fill the places of honor
and profit in our State, at present filed by
men vastly their superiors in all respects.
The following are the officers for the
Capt. William IL. Thompson, Vice Presi-
dent ; G. Y. Hines. Recording Secretary );
A. r. Black, Corresponding Secretary.
The subject of sweet potatoes was dis
cussed at length. most of the members
taking part. Mr.. GARRISON contended that
the usual plan of ridging with the hoe was
an unnecessary labor and expense-that he
had not for many years made a ridge with
a hoe, but used only the plow. Mr.. James
Durham stated that he had easily raised
over four hundred bushels to the acre. It
was the general opinion that it is best to
raise from the sprout and not from the
slip, or potatoe directly, and that the pota-
toe crop can, and should, be made one of
profit, as potatoes "re always q marketable
and good for fattening hogs.
Most OF the members insisted that the rows
should be about four feet and from fifteen
to eighteen inches apart in the run~-that
the soil should be broken up deep and we'll
pulverized before planting, and manured
we'll in the drill
That troublesome little animal, the cut
worm or bud worm, occupied the attention
OF the Club at this meeting. A committee
was appointed to investigate the character
and habits of this destructive agent and
the best means Of its determination or pre-
vention. The committee consists of Drs.
s S. Satchwell and Miller, and Mr. A. r.
Black. The committee would be pleased
to interchange views with scientific and
practical gentlemen on this subject

which is EIGHT TINES greater than the
amount raised last year, SO that where a
man paid one dollar lust year, he will have
hereafter to PAY MORE THAN EIGHT DOL
LARS.
These figures must satisfy, at a glance,
every property holder that the adoption Of
the Constitution will necessarily result in
the practical confscation of his property.
It must be remembered that the command
is imperative on the Legislature to raise
this amount Of money, and imperative also
to raise at least one million seven hundred
thousand dollars Of it on property alone,
and yet this vast sum does not diminish
the principal one dollar! It must be re
membered, too, that this burden of taxa
ton, crushing and overwhelming as it is,
will, after 1880, become immeasurably heav-
ier if the Constitution be adopted, as it re-
quires, after that date, specific annual
tax upon the real and personal property of
the State to be levied to create sinking
fund to pay the principal of the debt Let
property holders be cautious, then, lest, in
disregarding the cries of the widows and
orphans and the appeals Of their poor
white brethren generally, to save them
from the encroachments of the negro, they

tempting to save at the expense of their

For payment of interest alone, therefore,
we see the tax must, under the proposed
Constitution, be made more than THREE
TIMES LARGER, and even if the current ex-
penses should remain the same, that the
whole tax will be more than FOUR TIMES
heavier than last year. But under the pro-
posed Constitution the current expenses
will be far greater, as wilt appear from the
following estimate of increased expenses.
Common Schools for white children cost
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
before the war, half of which expense was
betrayed by the Literary Fund and the
other half by the counties. We think,
therefore, that five hundred thousand for
whites and blacks is very moderate esti-
mate of increase, as the Literary Fund being
destroyed, the whole expenditure now falls
on the State. The militia of reconstructed
Tennessee cost last year three hundred
thousand dollars. Holden's militia will not
cost less than BroWnlOW'S
