What Others Say of Us

The "Nation, y paper published in New
York, Republican in politics though mod
crate and high toned in its articles, takes
the following view OF the state Of affairs in
North Carolina il its issue of the 31st of
March. One would Judge from the truth
fulness Of the picture that the artist is no
second rate hand al his work, and we might
almost imagine that he had been here
among us familiarizing himself with the
facts in regard to the subject on which he
is writing. The Nation says:
''In North Carolina also the State Gov
ernment is in bad way, and its financial
policy, to speak euphemistically of what
seems to have been mere thieving, has been
particularly unfortunate. What Governor
Holden is most of our readers know. He
is small, astute politician, with capaci-
ty fer turning his coat when that perform
ance can conduce to his comfort; and,
though North Caroliniana are neither the
acutest nor the most suspicious people in
the world, Mr.. Holden was sufficiently
found out, some years ago, to make it
certain that, but for the advent of the
negro voter, he would now be editing q
feeble partisan paper, as he did before
and during the war, or be engaged in
some similar occupation. The Raleigh
Standard used to be his paper but when,
after the war, he succeeded Jonathan
Worth as Governor, he sold his interest in
it to man called Littlefeld, who was
hand-in-glove with a ''member of the
third house." called Swepson, and with
these was joined person by the name of
Hawkins. Soon $40. 600, 600 in State bonds
were issued by the Legislature and Gov
ernor-bonds 10 be used in furtherance of
certain railroad projects. About 81, $780,
600 worth Of these bonds, it is said, have
been satisfactorily accounted for; but as
to the rest, that their disposition is
matter open to suspicion, to say the
least, has been made 30 plain-to say
nothing OF Mr.. Swepson's having fed the
Stately the Investigations of the Legis-
lature now sitting, that an act has been
passed with these provisions s'All acts
framed at the last session, making appro-
priations for railroad schemes, are re-
pealed; all bonds of the State is
sued in pursuance of these acts are
ordered to be at once restored to
the State Treasury all moneys levied and
collected nnder the railroad acts are to be
credited to the counties of the State, and
to be deducted from the amount of the
county tax for the current year" It will
be matter of some interest to watch
the future political career or Governor
Holden. The average white North Caro-
linian is an honest and fairly intelligent
man, land, though not very hterate, events
OF the magnitude of these irregularities"
may be presumed TO be now known to
him. Nor do we imagine that the Gov
ernor will find salvation at the hands of
the negroes, though, to be sure, he has
opportunity done some proclaiming of
martial law"

aud dollars. Under the control Of the
present administration millions are ex-
pended In the hands of these strange Is
and adventurers and corrupt time servers
now controlling the State Government, no
constitutional limitations or restrictions
sufficient TO prevent them flom imposip q
upon the impoverished people of our State
taxes not AMY onerous but absolutely I'M.
endurable A debt covering nearly half
the cash valuation of the entire property
of the State has been created. Our bonds
issued and placed in the hands of corrupt,
dishonest and irresponsible adventures
for manipulation in order to enable them
to fill their private purses at the expense
of our people, The English language is
too weak to furnish words sufficiently ex-
pressive to characterize such enormous
ness. Corruption and fraud of the
basest sort alone could have accom-
plished such outrages upon any
people. The debt contracted by these in
cdrndte deUikS is not the honest debt of
North Carolina, and cannot and ought not
to be paid. In our present situation the
State can pay nothing. If the honest
creditors of the State will consent to share
somewhat in the common losses of our
whole people, we hope such an arrange
ment may be made with them as will serve
to promote honesty and at the same time
ACbuhS
The creditors of North Carolina have no
more right to expect the State to pay up
now than an individual has to expect a
bankrupt to pay in full. Why, look at
your Old State, honest, good old North
Carolina. Her bonds moi worth half as
much in the market as the law requires q
bankrupts estate to bring, in order to
enable him to go into bankruptcy volun-
tarily. The old State is not even able to pay
her way through n Bankrupt Court of the
United States according to the estimate
placed upon her bonds by the spectators.
Whatever sacrifices Of mere prejudice
that may be necessary must be made to in
wife IN good faith the cooperation of the
colored people to relieve our State from
this humiliating situation, and relieve our
people from the expensive burdens i'm
posed by incompetent, ignorant and cor
rupt rulers. Let US use every means to
accomplish the overthrow of the present
imbecie and corrupt administration in
North Carolina, and bring the miserable
culprits to condign punishment.
70 do this we must heal up old sores,
quiet ali dissensiOns, harmonize and unite
upon men everywhere "aC0r3hy and qceH
qualified" to discharge the high trusts of
the hour. When this can only be done by
conventions, let us have such conventio as
Us organize and prepare to ''charge bayo-
nets" in solid phalanx right into the ranks
of the enemy and insure success.
Respectfully, VIM. A. ALLEN.

ROCKY MoUNT VS.. ROCKY PoINT.-The
frequent mistakes which result from the
similarity in name Of these two stations on
the Wilmington aud Weldon Railroad
calls for change in one or the other Of
them. Complaints are often made of bag
gage and articles destined for Rocky
Point being taken oft at Rocky Mount and
Uice UerSu. 1t would be a matter of much
public convenience if a change were
effected. The names are 700 much alike
Tor stations on the same road. No doubt
the residents Of each locality are attached
to the present name, but sacrifice should
be made by one or the ether Of them. We
believe that Rocky Mount is the oldest
sutton, and, therefore, not TO appear selfish,
we suggest that our Rocky Point station
be changed to some other name.

Fayetteville and weatern Railroad.

The meeting of Stockholders of the
Western Railroad, held at Fayetteville
last week, adjourned on Friday The old
officers were reelected. Tile Western
terminus aoas changed from Salisbury TO
Greensboro, and mortgage bonds were
ordered to be issued to raise means to
complete the road.
We understand that private stockholders
told Jones & Co. very plainly what was
thought of the honesty and capacity OF the
President and Board of Directors, but they
were powerless to effect any reformation,
as the entire power is in the hands of the
representatives. Of the State. The credit
of this road can hardly be established
under its present management, and the
orders of Stockholders or Directors will
avail but little.

III. Radical Defeat In Connect1cut.

! The Chicago Tribune, in mourning over
the Radical defeat in Connecticut, gives
its readers glimpses of great truth. AT
ter bitter fling at the faction in the Sen
ate which delayed lie admission OF T. xas
and Georgia. and SO lost Gov. Jewell the
negro vote which he might have had, the
Tribune proceeds 10 remark very sensibly
and philosop hically, that it is o matter of
much more interest to know "what has
become OF our white voters" and that
LATTER putting together the funding bill,
the project for keeping Georgia out Of the
Union, and the Domingo sell, it IS not
difficult to account fox the detection of
enough votes in Connecticut to turn the
scale" In other words, says the St Louis
Republican, the Tribune lays the blame OF
the disaster upon three OF the most prOLai-
nent features il the recent policy OF the
administration an administration, 500,
which that journal zealously supports.
The finding dill, although Ostensihiy the
invention Of Senator Sherman, is known
to have originated with Secretary Bout
we'll, and it is 10 be presumed has the
sanction OF majority OF the cabinet as
Wall as the President. " Keeping Georgia
out Of the Union hus tho support IF a
large proportion OF Radical Senators, in
Guiding such shining lights as Hevels,
Brownlow, Summer and Drake, and almost
as much strength III the House. 1.-The
Domingo sell"-irrevereut expression lis
the favorite child Of President Grant him
self, who has Il 'ged it from the beginning
with az enthusiastic pertinucity which will
take no denial. These, then, are the three
sins which the Tribune thinks have drawn
heavens vengeance upon the heads Of the
Radical party in C0nuecticut. They are
not merely accidental trAnsgressione, brief
lapses from the path Of strict virtue liable
to occur in the best regulated families, bat
they the legitimate result Of certain
code of principles which Iiadicalism has
approved and is now engaged i'll carrying
out.

Catholic clergy. It was an emblem OF
purity, aud of the sanctifying influence on
others of holy life hence our Lord tells
His disciples, " Ye are the Salt of the
earth"
The salt being split after it was placed
on the head of the victim was considered a
bad omen, being supposed to signify shat
the sacrifice was not accepted and hence
the superstition.
When we say of shiftless fellow, that
he does not learn his SALT" we uncon-
sciously allude to an ancient custom among
the Romans. Among them a man was
said to be in possession of salary"
who had his salariun," his allowance of
salt money, or of salt wherewith to SAVIOR
the food by which he lived. Thus salary
comes from salt-and in this view of the
word, how many there are who do not
earn their SALT
