NORTH CAROLINA FINANCES IND POLL
TICS

There is inst reason to imagine that the very
spirited and somewhat startling account which
Gen. Clingman of North Carolina gives of the
financial condition of his State is altogether too
near the truth TO be agreeable to its creditors.
We print elsewhere the main points of his
pamphlet, addressed to the people of North
Carolina, and bearing unmistakabe indications
that the General has lost with old age and
political paralysis, none of the courage
and caustic severity of speech which
distinguished him years ago in Congress. The
testimony of Gen. Clingman will be accepted
without doubt by those who remember his
career or who know the man. His facts
clearly indicate that the present management
of North Carolina finances is to end in State
bankruptcy, if, indeed, the State is not already
bankrupt Her actual liabilities are unknown
even to her Treasurer and her principal assets
consisting of railroad property, are so badly
managed as to produce no income except for
the managers), relieve no portion of taxation,
and liquidate no part of the debt.
Like an old politician as he is, Gen. Cling
man intuitively turns to politics for relief, and
sees safety and financial prosperity only in the
formation of a new party, to be composed of
Wings, Republicans, naturalized citizens, and
negroes, as "a following or tdHn to the Demo-
cratic party. Economical management of the
Government is first requisite of course, to
the end Gen. Clingman desires so vehemently
and demands in such ardent and volcanic Ian
guage We shall be glad to see stable and honest
Governments, such as the South will have
in time, reGstablished as early as possible and
administered by irreproachable men for many
I,,ttr IL. I'll izax
his motives we cannot believe in the wisdom
of Gen. Clingman's plan of rescuing the State
from "carpet-bag" and other plunderers. We
prefer rather to trust the publication of their
party and the redemption of the State to the
Republicans who control IT, The corruption
there and in other Southern States has been
great and painful; but so much less destruc-
tive and demoTalizing than was TO have been
expected under the circumstances and diff
cultes of recOnstruction-so trivial indeed,
compared to the corruption and the bloody
horrors of reconstruction following a great
civil war in any other civilized country
of which we have historical record-that there
is good cause for cOngratulatiOn rather than
despair. Reconstruction cannot come in a
year-in few countries rent by such dissensions
as ours was could its completion be looked for
within a generation. So firm is our faith in
the virtue and the wisdom which the Southern
people, white and black, have displayed in
spite of the mass of corruption which has
come, as naturally as other froth, to the sur
face, that we look for the reconstruction of
the Rebel States within the decade; and we
believe that Republican principles and the
present Republican party are to be the basis
and the agents of that political reconstruction.

Mr. Garfield insists on an increase of the
present Currency by s95,OOO,OOO, and the substi
tute for his bill which we lately thought killed
land thought so without great regreD retains
this dangerous clause. We believe that it will
eventually kill the BILL or force the Banking
Committee to resort to the device Of the Jul
dietary Committee and bring in a skeleton like
the Naturalization bill, without flesh of any
sort upon it. 1t is clear the House does not
mean to consent to any issue of legal tender
or greenback notes, for it yesterday refused by
overwhelming votes to adopt amendments of
that expansive nature offered by Democratic
members. 1t also refused to take off the present
limit TO currency circulation. These indca-
tons are unfavOrable to the bill, which comes
up for final action to-day.

The Bishops in the Gcumenical Council
have odd ways of expressing their faith in
their rival doctrines. The lnfallibility scheme
still divides them, and the minority threaten
to secede. The Fathers who favor the declar-
alton of the Pope's Infalibility have such
firm faith therein that they subscribe heavily
to a purse TO he given him, being doubtless
satisfied that he will spend it in a sensible
manner. But the minority, evidently fearful
that the Pope in disposing of the sum, may
at once illustrate an old adage about the part
ing of moneys and weak-minded pOssessors,
and conclusively prove his fallibility, decline
to subscribe at all. These latter are wise in
their discretion. 1t may be safe to indOrse
Papal opinions but never the Papal purse.

its peace for'mOnths and years. We have less
respect than The Economist for the armies
of ONeil and Gleason. The Canadian vol
unteers would doubtless have turned
back all who came against them laSt hloh'n'
even had we not helped them; hut the FreSi-
dents action has shown that we have no>pur-
pose of winking at evasion of our laws, and

pared 10 do without retnfOrcements, supplies or
moral support from our side of the boundary.
That expeditions under these circumstances can
not move with the faintest hope ofeven moment-
airy success would be obvious, we should think,
to the Irish press as it is to the English. In
London, notwithstanding the indignation OF
the Canadian militia, the importance of Gen.
Grants action is thoroughly appreciated. II
he had stopped the expeditions little sooner
he would have saved the Fenians themselves
much suffering and expense; but that he
stopped them at all is a proof that America
intends to fulfill her international duties in
their spirit as well as their letter, and is con-
seduently for Fenianism a blow of the severest
kind.

We know that the soul of oratOry is action
faction action ~ And though this is not
usually much indulgcd in by the red orators
around their council fires, yet it can be
learned by practice. We coniure Red Cloud,
however, in case he should dcllyer the speech
he has promised, or the speeches we have
suggested, to be particular regarding one
thing, without which all his oratorcal efforts
must be failures we mean costume. we nave
heard with artistic pain, that since Red Cloud
visited Washington he has Oh several occasions
made his appearance i'll a stOye-pipe hat. We
fear we shall next hear of his adding to this
swallow tailed coat, pair of tight
legged pantaoOns, and a Stanley cravat.
Now, this would never do. 1t would be in
tolerable. He must show himself on the plat
form in that picturesque and awful dress
wherein he made his formal visit to the Presi-
dent. Horns and skin and hair and feathers
and tangled leggings and gay mOccasns,-all
these he must have, as well as paint on his
face and dignity in his mien. Without these,
he would not be Red Cloud to us,-nor would
he draw paying audiences, though admission
were free.

to speech making and become the advocate OF
Indian rights in these days of Indian wrongs
what might he not accomplish for his race!
Would it be possible for the Indians to re-
main the victims of injustice and outrage If
they had an eloquent representative of their
cause constantly appealing to the American
people in their behalf? He would arouse the
sentiment of humanity and keep alive the
spirit of justice. He would do more for his
people than ever Frederick Douglass did for
the blacks. When in Washington, Red Cloud
gave hint that he would like to become
member of Congress. He could have no bet
ter preparation for Congress than year or
two spent in stump-speaking or platform ora
tory throughout the country. We have no
doubt that before he was engaged in it a sin
gle year, Congress would pass bill author

HENRY b. ANTHONY of Rhode Island and
AARON II. CRAGIN of New Hampshire were
Yesterday reelected to the L. 5. Senate for
six wears from the 4th of March next by their
respective Legislatures. This will be
Mr.. Anthony's third term in the Senate,
where he has been for years the efficient
Chairman of the Committee on Printing.
Mr.. Anthony is an able legislator and an in
fuential member of the Senate, of which body
he is now President pro tenn. Mr. Cragin had
served usefully two terms in the House of Re-
representatives., XXXVth and XXXVIth Con-
crosses, before entering the Senate in 1865.

An Editor who has not been consulted by
the Union League Club as to the nature of
its proposed action on the Income Tax, stridu-
this body have no right to express opinions on
the tax, because they are all taxpayers! This
is certainly the most remarkable discovery
made of late years in politics. Next We shall
hear that the owners of horses have no right
to protest against DEMONSTRATING, or that peO-
pie who have characters worth preserving
shall have no right to complain of self-pro-
claimed libelers.

Judge WOODRUFF has appointed ISAIAH T. VIII
LIAMs, esq, U. S. Commissioner for this Circuit
and Mr.. w. has accepted and entered upon the dis
charge of his official duties, withdrawing from the
practice of the law. We hail this appointment as
eminenty judicous and fortunate. Theofice of U. s
Commissioner, always important at this point, has
been rendered more by the establishment of
National system of Bankruptcy; aud Mr.. Williams
brings to the discharge of it's duties mastery of the
law acquired by successful practice of more than
quarter of a century, united with eminent ability
and stainless integrity.

1t is suspicious circumstance when ndi-
viduals take personal offense at the result OF
national legislation. Gen. Sherman is indig-
nant at the passage of the Army bill, and, it
is said, means to resign. Gen. Farnsworth
feels outraged because Gen. Butler has sue
ceeded in Committee in having the Bingham
Amendment stricken out of the Georgia bill.
Common people wonder at this rage against
legislation made for the benefit of the whole
country, and not intended to work to the dis
advantage of any individual. We beg that
Generals and all others concerned will learn
10 curb their temper on these occasions. 1t
looks too much as if they were hurt.

We heartily rejoice that Mr.. d. A. Wells,
like his illustriOus predecessor, Mr.. Alex. Del
mar, has gone straight to his own place. Our
readers need no further announcement to I'M
derstand that Mr.. Wells is at last among the
Democrats, where he has so long belonged !;
though they may be little sur
prised to find that he could fall so
fast as to become already an appointee
of Gov. John L. Hoffman's. Long may he re-
main in such congenial company. Yet, after
all, we fear that he cannot be sure of pro-
tracted tenure of Office under Hoffman. He is
a squeezed orange. His power for harm is de-
stroyed when he is forced TO fight under his
own colOrs. His reputation is the most alb
smdly inflated one in the United States he
may now find how little it will profit him.

IRISH VIEWS OF THE FRNIAN F4ILURE
"The Irish national journals concur in say
"ing that the Government need not exult
cover the defeat of O'Neils attempt to invade
canada, and that lesson has been learned
(Which will insure victory next time" That
is the message brought us by the Atlantic
Cable yesterday and reading it we can hardly
feel surprised at the persistence of the delu-
sion which, after so many failures, leaves
Fenianism still active. One might have sup
posed that the Irish national press, which is
really conducted with some ability, would per-
ceive the wickedness and folly of Canadian raids.
and warn the poor fellows who throw away
their money and their lives in such enterprises
that they are only feeding the vanity or per-
haps filling the pockets of imbecile if not
swindling leaders. Ii was a favorite saving of
OConnelfs, repeated in nearly all his speeches,
that " He who commits a crime gives strength
to the enemy" We hoped the press of
Ireland would remember this truth, and warn
the Fenians of America that they were hurt
ing their own cause But if that press is to
help in keeping up the imposture, it is no
wonder that the ignorant still believe in it,
The lesson which has really been taught by
O'Neirs failure is that our own Government
will not permit Irishmen to make war upon
Canada from the United States, and this alone
ought to convince them that Fenian raids
hereafter are hopeless. The London Economist
believes that but for Gen. Grants proclama-
ton and the interference of United States
troops the invasion might have proved formid-
able enough TO keep the Dominion for
some time in q urm"il oven 10 disturb

The bill to abolish the Franking Privilege
is now at the head of the list of special orders
in the Senate, and comes up daily hereafter,
first of all others, for consideration. We hope
the unfortunate measure may get consideration
in the future, for it has been greatly neglected
in the past The abuse of the privilege itself
has hardly been greater or more persistent
than the abuse of the bill to abolish 1t. Since
it left the House the bill has been varlously
amended, and numerous other amendments are
proposed They are intended in most instances
TO be mere hinderances of the measure, and
add nothing to its directness or effectiveness
nor do they remedy, as has been claimed for
one of Them the fatal defect of not providing
for the carrying on the public business
when Franking shall have been dispensed
with. But that the opponents of the measure
will employ these amendments to defer action
upon it we do not doubt They should not be
permitted to succeed. They ought not to be
allowed to incumber the bill with measures so
obnoxious as TO defeat it on its return to the
House. The people demand not only action
on this BILL but immediate action. They will
not willingly forget if Senators waste time
over this bill, upon which they have had
ample time to ponder, though never moment
to act, and thereby deliberately and intention
ally delay legislation also on such important
pending matters as the reconstruction of
Georgia, the repeal of the Income Tax, the
revival of Navigation and Shipbuilding the
declaration of General Amnesty, the questions
of Cuban Recognition and San Domingo pur-
chase, the Encouragement of the Tariff, and
other measures of not less Importance than the
saving of several millions annually by the
abolition of the Franking abuses.

SUBSTITUTES FOR STAPLES.

A letter from a Washington correspondent
sketches some of the more prominent features
of the great work undertaken there by the
Department of Agriculture. This work diff
fers from most Governmental undertakings
inasmuch as while its expenditures are
comparatively small, the result to the
country will be very valuable. By thor
oughly organized system of correspond
ence with other agricultural departments
in foreign countries, and with all agricultural
associations in our own, not only the statistics
and facts, the science and the progress of the
world upon subjects connected with the pro-
auctions of the earth, are compiled and pub
lished, but knowledge is obtained of specific
products whose cultivation will add largely to
the prosperity of this country.
England and France have already taken the
lead in scientific experiment to ascertain what
products of distant climes can be raised with
in their own limits or those of their colonies.
Extraordinary sums of money have been spent
in testing and acclimatizing not only trees,
shrubs, plants, vegetables, but even quadru
pcds, birds and insects that may be useful
and their successes in these experiments, and
in fish culture, including shelltish, have become
of national importance. We have with
in our present boundaries climate and soil
adapted to the culture of almost every
product of the vegetable world which
we now import. The wealth that we
send abroad whether in money or in cereals
and cotton, to purchase these foreign growths,
would pay for them twice over if raised at
home; they would be more readily sold than
staples, and the profits would 90 into Ameri-
can pockets The ruinous extravaganza which
sends half way around the globe for tea, cOf-
fee, sugar, &C., that could be raised in Texas,
Kansas, or California, is but half the story.
The condiments of the table the drugs and
dyes whose mere names cover many pages of
the literature of the tariff, cost millions of
money that could be in great part saved by
home cultivation. The Department of Agri-
culture is engaged in ascertaining by expert
ment which of these products can be raised
within the United States. The extent of the
labor undertaken may be judged from the
circumstance stated by our correspondent,
that $50 varieties of oil aud paper plants from
China alone are believed TO be suitable for the
climate of Kansas.
Opium has been successfully raised in this
vicinity. The culture of the olive and the al
mOnd is succeeding in California, and the Jap
anese colony there is doing well with tea and
silk. The industry of the latter, at least, will
not stop where that of most Californians has,
in merely raising silkwom eggs. There is an
American silk-making insect, living in our
Northern woods, hardy, easily managed and
not too dainty in its feed, whose product, it is
stated, is quite as valuable as any other silk
But thousand such facts as these may be
made public, to the great benefit of our coun-
try, when they have been fairly and scentif-
cally tested at Washington.

We have observed that the ex-HOn. Henry
B. Stanton, once connected with the public
service, has been moved to write an editorial
defense of Mrs. and Hon. Henry b. Stanton
against the playful suggestions thrown out by
us concerning the deeds of that remarkable
woman in connection with that other and
equally remarkable woman, the Princess Editha.
Far be it from us to interfere in a ques-
ton of veracity raised between two ladies
so well qualified to win the admiration of their
own and strike terror to the hearts of the OPP
posite sex. We merely observe that, this
morning, the Princess Editha returns to the
charge; and at the close of the last round
seems to have decidedly the better of the con-
fict The Princess complains that her late
friend, Mrs. II. b. s. aforesaid, gave her some
of the worst advice"-which really seems to
us quite credible statement Furthermore,

to introduce her on the occasion of
