nual donation of $50 made By laic to all
such Associations. The threat is puerile
and in keeping with Radicalism. The So
ciety, of course, is abundantly able to do
without the paltry donation, but, as mat
ter of principle, it should contend for it.
Mr.. jenkins, the Public Treasurer, will
not refuse to pay any louyfI claim, and
will, no doubt, pay it when presented
Should he refuse, the Ldoo will compel its
payment.-Raieigh Sentinel
RADICAL WAsTE.-Some time before
Gov. Worth left the Executive Office, he
ard the other Commissioners of Public
Buildings, in conformity to law, had the
Capitol painted and the rooms carpeted
and fitted up substantially and neatly
enough for business Offices Every thing
was in good order, and it is generally
thought, we believe, would have answered
very well for some time. Since "Gov."
Holden has been in Office, we learn that
the carpeting has been taken up, and new
and costly carpetirg has been put down
and other extravagant expenditures made.
1t is believed that, in the condition of our
people much of this is a needless expense.
But again: What has become Of the carpet
ing which was taken up? We have not
heard of its having been sold at auction or
| otherwise. It was worth half its original
cost, perhaps. It is reported that it has
been divided out among the State officers
If they have paid anything for it, the pub
| lie are not so advised.

4 New ENTERPRISE Mr.. r. n. Taylor,
has recently put in successful operation a
large foundry and machine shop, capable
! &C dc
of iron or brass, and which will keep stead
| lily employed fifteen or twenty workmen.
| Everything used by our agriculturists can
now be made at home, and we trust they
will not send elsewhere and have their
work done Under the control of Mr..
Hanks, one of the most scientific machin-
| lists in the State, and with the energy and
capital of Mr.. Taylor at the head of it, the
new enterprise will be, beyond all perad-
venture, a success. Everything from a
| garden rake to 81 steam engine can be man
ufactured, and we are sure that those who
patronize the new foundry will be fully
satisfied. 1t is situated on the corner of
South Front and Spring streets.
