When the issuing of the greenbacks to carry
on the war was first proposed, the democrats in
eongresr arrayed themselves against the measure
as unconstitutional and ruinous. and this was the
positisn the Democratic party took in its conven-
tions and on the stump. Now, eoweyer, they pro-
pose an issue of these same greenbacks wherewith
to pay the national obligations.-Pins.C CONNER
eial
Well, suppose they did There is no real
inconsistency in the two positions. The de-
mocracy were opposed to making greenbacks
a legal tender IN the beginning, but since,
despite of their action, they were so made,
they demand that the law shall be faithfully
carried out to oil classes. Common Justice
demands this. Since the farmer. mechanic.
merchant and laborer are Obliged to take
greenbacks for their debts, why shonld the
bondholder not take them for his debts ?

The SToRM-Thursday morning of last
week, was the occasion of one of the most
severe storms ever known in this country at
this season of the year, eliminating in
freshet which carried devastation in its
track, and only equalled in severity by the
well-remembercd freshct of 1868. From
about 2 O'clock, A. NJ, until long after day
light, the lightning flashes and peals ot
thunder were incessant, whilst the rain de-
scendcd in continuous flood.
We have been favored by correspondent
who was out in the storm, with the follow
ing particulars: On the day preceding the
storm "wednesday, 18th inst,) about I
o'clock, P. M, u harricane, extending over a
belt about 200 yards in width, passed along
portions of Henry county, Va, and Rocking-
ham county N. G., carrying devastation in
its course. Near Lcaksvilc and Wentworth,
N c., it seems to have been most severe
hundreds of panels of fences seemed but pa
per in its course, and rails as straws were
blown, in some instances, as far as 40 and 90
yards. -. -.g..
Near Leaksville, the frame dwelling house,
corn crib, and dairy of Mr.. Thomas Ragland
were utterly destroyed, and alOg school-house
in the immediate vicinity was blown down.
Miss Lane, the teacher, with the children,
were in the house at the time, and miracu-
lously escaped with few bruises child,
boy of eight years, son of Mr.. Ragland,
however, had his leg broken. The destruc-
ton of the houses is complete. The school
house was built of logs, averaging Is inches
in thickness, and some Of them were blown
30 or 25 yards from the house. At Went.
worth one or two houses were unroofed and
the church steeples considerably damaged.
We do not remember, and the "oldest in.
habitant" cannot call to mind, storm equal
to this in the annals of the country in the
spring of the year.-Dan0its Register.

out on the balcony. Upon being introduced
by J. E. O'Harn, Esq, who announced that
Gen. Brogden, our State Senator elect for

their fluctuations and cheering had sub

crowd in his usual agreeable and effective
style, Icing frequently cheered whilst speak

voices. At the conclusion of his speech,
many gallant and patriotic huzzas and
cheers again rang out upon the air, followed
by soul cheering music by the band.
Mr. J. E. O'Hara then delivered sensi-
BILE, well-timed and appropriate speech,
which was received with cheers and ap-
