The State Fair.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Oct 20 1869.
MEssRs. ED1ToRs:-I attended the State
Fair at Raleigh yesterday.
There was fine collection of specimens
of needle work in IS Floral Hail." Many
articles of merchandise of rare merit and
value are Oh exhibition. Such articles as
"Crochet work" " Patch work" and the
like by ladies of the State, reflected great
credit upon them.
The good taste of the merchants in send
ing some of their especially rare and fine
articles of household goods in ladies and
gentlemen's garments was duly apprecia-
ted.
The stock of fine Horses was large and
good. The Chester Hogs made fine
show, and small number of "Devon :"
and Durham Cows and Calves of much
merit we're shown. Some fine specimens
of Sheep and Goats were on exhibition.
There were fine fowls. Ducks and Geese
on the Grounds.
The department of Agricultural Imple-
ments was we'll supplied with Reapers,
Thrashers and the like. Some very new
and useful. Many of them will come here
in November to our Fair and Exposition.
The programme of opening exercises
was procession in carriages of officers
and members of the Society around the
Grounds or Course. preceded by troop
of Marshals on horseback and followed by
the fine blooded and other horses and also

The IrOn-CIad Oath,

Some needed light is thrown upon the
appointments made by General Candy, in
Virginia, through the inquiries of Her
aid correspondent into the Mosby-Boyd
quarrel, and also upon the great abuse to
which the ''iron-clad oath" leads. This
oath can be taken by any Northern man;
SO the plan is for Northern men to take
the oath. sign the papers and sell out. -
The oath taker gets fixed sum. and the
man who fills the Office must make his fees
pay him, and do the duties. Thus the
persons who stand on Canby's records as
occupying certain offices are not the per-
sons in Office, and the object of the oath is
defeated. This was one of the fearful
abuses of administration in France that
brought about the revolution. York

Second Sight,

PARKER PILLsBURY, one of the original,
Radicals, who knew and loved the negro
at a distance which but lont enchantment
and strength to his affections, has lately
visited Charleston. Ho came not only to
visit his brother, Gilbert Pillsbury, the
Radical Mayor Of that city, but to SEQ the
Imam and brother " in his home to see
the colored people as they are and not as
they are pictured fer political purposes.
1t may well be supposed that the official
position OF his brother enabled him to see
the colored man in the best possible light,
while his own synpathies and prejudices
would naturally lead him to look upon the
negro with many degrees Of allowance,
He writes his views from Charleston to
the organ of woman's rights, The Rerolu-
tioa, and We mako the following 7ery sin
gular and significant extracts from one of
his latest letters
Push woman's suffrage a. tho North against
all obstacles and Oppositions; sparins nothing,
sacred or protane, that lies in your way. But
meantime may rest tho suffrage question here

North Carolina RAILROAD.

We arc somewhat surprised to see that
the renting of the North Carolina Railroad
to the Raleigh and Castor Railroad re-
ceives the endorsement of the Raleigh
Sentinel We can account for it only in
the supposition that the editor regards it
as advantageous to the public interest to
Withdraw the control of our works Of in
ternal improvement from the control of
the State upon any terms not absolutely
entailing direct loss to the stockholders.
The North Carolina Railroad has been
leased for twenty years to the Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad and others for two hun
dred and forty thousand dollars per amman,
to be paid on the first day of January IN
each year, subject to the approval Of the
stockholders at a meeting to be held in
Raleigh on the 18th day of November
next. Two hundred and forty thousand
dollars is just six per cent. upon the capt.
tai stock of four millions of dollars. But
then the Indebtedness of the Company is
between six hundred and fifty and seven
hundred thousand dollars. I'VE have not
the report before us but think these
figures are correctly The interest upon
this, surprising it all to bear six per CENT
interest will be about forty thousand dol
lars, one per cent. of the amount paid as
rent THIS leaves only five per cent. for
the stockholders. Then we suppose it
will take at least one half of one per- cent,
| or twenty thousand dollars to cover other
| expenses. There must be some officials to
take charge Of the North Carolina Rail-
rosd-some easy births for favored indiyid-
uals --some one to receive and disburse the
the money pay the interest on the bonds
inspect the road. In word, quarter
of a million of dollars cannot be handled
without considerable expense. This leaves
but four and one half per cent.
But during this twenty years of lease
some Of the debt will mature, all of it
will approach maturity. and unless a sink
ing fund is provided we fear the credit of
the Company will be much impaired. It
will be impossible to distribute this four
and one-half per cent. lone hundred and
eighty thousand dollars) as dividends to
the stockholders and allow the indebted
ness of the Company to go unproyided
for.
But supposing this lease to be good
DISPOSITION of the road-which we cannot
believe in the face of the large dividends
declared previous to, and the rapidly in
creasing receipts since the war, is it any
reason why the stockholders should not
make better disposition of it? If the
President and Directors believed that it
was for the interest of the North Carolina
Railroad to rent it to one of the connect
ing Roads. was there any special reason
that it should be done privately to one of
four rival Roads If it is to the interest
of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad to rent
the North Carolina Railroad, is it not
equally so to the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad And is there any special rea-
son why the one should be preferred to
the other or that either shonld be pre-
ferred to the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad In word should the North
Carolina Railroad be consolidated with
Roads leading to Virginia ports in mere

at least throw the responsibility where it
properly belongs. Let US see if Governor
Ho1DEN's prcjutiicas to Eastern and South

far as to sanction this transaction without
giving other State roads the chance to

the matter to rest upon the vote of the

toforo represented the States interest in

We publish with pleasure the following
article from the Oh North tStute. We as
sure the Editor that cur remarks to which
he takes exception were intended to be
complimentary, and We regret that we
failed to express ourselves as to make
our feelings understood. We know not
only from the columns OF that paper, but
! from conversations with the Editor imme-
diately after his return from Washington
City in 1867, as one Of the Commissioners
appointed by the late Governor WORTH,
that the course of the OH NoyM State has
been consistent with itself and governed
throughout by principle. While we have
differed frequently with that paper and
sometimes widely. we have always done so
