The Law IF Cotton Bale.

An act Of February %, 1871, passed by
Congress, prescri oes "that no loose hay,
loose cotton, or loose hemp shall be car
ried as freight on any steamer carrying
passengers nor shall baled cotton or
hemp be carried in such steamers unless
the bales are compactly pressed, and thor
oaghly covered with bagging or similar
fabric, and secured with good rope or
iron bands. and every bale of cotton or
hemp that shall be shipped or carried on
any passenger steamer without conforming
to the provisions of this section shall be
subject to penalty of five dollars which
bales shall be liable to seizure and sale to
secure the payment of such penalty"
This, the Journal of Commerce thinks.
ought to be a sufficient induoement to
planters to cover their cotton as we'll as to
pack it properly. This act is now in force,
and as the penalty is easily collected, and
half, as the Journal infers. goes to the
informer, our Southern friends will do
we'll to stir up their packers on this sub
iect. Every bale of cotton packed this
fall and winter ought to be carefully coy
cred in conformity with the provisions of
this law.

REHABILITATION

Radicsl robbery in three years 1915. 9l1,747
Appalling as these figures are, they do
not represent the entire Indebtedness by
tens of millions The Radical authorities
have deliberately concealed and misrepre-
sented the actual and outstanding obllga-
tions, for political eff cot. This gigantic
debt was mostly incurred during the last
three years, under pretext of building rail-
roads and making other improvements.
But the bonds were sold and stolen, and
there is nothing to show for the two hun
dred and twenty-six millions, but the
sudden wealth of carpet-bag Governors,
Office holders and members of Congress-,
who shared the spoils. Literally nothing.
But the oppression and outrage upon
these unfortunate psople does not end
here. Not satisfied with the plunder thus
appropriated in the shape of bonds, by
means of corrupt and Infamous legisla-
ton, the screw has been turned wherever
Radio ,lism still holds possession Of power,
by the most outrageous county taxes, to
say nothing OF those for the State at large.
The following table. just prepared at the
Census Office, exhibits the comparative
value of property in eight States for 1860
and 1870, respectively, and the difference
in the county taxes for those two periods

The south and National Politics.

We publish elsewhere well-considered
and forcfble article from the Washington
Patriot controverting the position taken
by General HAMPTON, and that which we
have been advocating, in regard to the con-
nection of the South with National poll
tics, and especially in regard to Southern
representation in the National Democratic
Convention. We are free to say that most
of the Democratic papers OF the Nortn
occupy the same position, while those OF
the South are divided.
This is a question Of policy entirely.
Our opinion is based upon the experience
OF the past and the growing efforts OF
President GRANT and his party to renew
and increase the prejudices of the North
ern people against US. But it is ques-
ton upon which there should be no diff
ference of opinion, much less any division
among US. II all the Southern States do
not concur, or if the Northern Democrats
generally oppose this inaction on our part
we must. as General HAMPTON we'll says,
in any event act in perfect accord, and
with entire harmony. Too much Is at
BLAKE IOr us u OlAAoI hAAOb6 ONAS~-'0~'
and all must agree to any plan which Will
tend to save the South from ruin.
We are not prepared to yield our opin-
ion, however, as to the policy of South
ern non participation in the Convention
and we believe it will be more apparent
as time passes. Unless bad blood is stir
red between the sections and the Union
kept asunder by proscriptive legislation
the occupation of the Radical party is gone,
and their organization would topple to the
ground. We should, at least, refrain from
giving them props.
We admit the force of the position that
the entire absence Of Southern delegates
will give a sectional and fragmentary ap-
pearance to the party and It's platform,
bat we believe such an absence will like
wise take from our opponents one of their
chief weapons of attack, which seems so
effective among the Northern masses.
Our friends of the North, however, will
find that we are willing to adopt that poll
cy which may at the time be regarded as
best. We will enter the canvass for sue
cess, and we will neglect nothing which an
honorable people can do to achieve it.

March of the Cholera

The cholera, which has lately visited in
it's march from Asia the cities of Konigs-
burg. Dantzio, Elbing. Altoona, Coblentz,
and Leipsic, in Germany, Vienna, in Aus
tria, Moscow and st. Petersburg, and in
deed all European Russia, is at length
said to have sont its avant conriers to
America. It will be seen by the dispatch
es that the disease is reported to have ap-
pesred at Perth Amboy, N. j.. having
been introduced by German Immigrants
landing at that place. The report sounds
the first alarm we have had of the intro
duct1on of the CHASTITY visitor from abroad,
and it is to be hoped that the local au.
thorities there and elsewhere are prepar-
ed for all emergencies.

From the Richmond Wing

a Judicial Campaign.
The correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes:
WASHINGTON, Monday, Sept. %, ISL
o. S. District Judge Underwood will pre-.
side on Monday next, at the Richmond
(Va.) term of the U. s. Circuit Court, in
the absence of Circuit Judge Bond, now
engaged on the Ku klux trials at Raleigh,
N. G. Judge Bond telegraphs that he can
not be In Richmond, having nearly 200
cases In North Carolina alone, and about
an equal number to try in South Carolina.
Judge Bond has carved out good deal
of work for his Fall campaign. He ap-
pears to enter upon it with hearty good
| will. aud seems ambitious to revive the in.
famous renown of the bloody Jeffries.
| When the English monnter went forth in
quest OF tie Wings of the West, he boast
ed that he could smell Presbyterian forty
miles; but after filling the jails and making
the scaHolds to stream with blood, he dieo
| in prison. Judge Bond seems to be en-
dowed with an equal voracity for victims
His jails are crowded with men, women
and boys. He tries twenty at time under
the same indictment; and, with a packed
jury, subservient to his nod, his fendist
malignity is Fever baffied. The law which
be was appointed to enforce. and which he
proudly claims to be strictly constitution

| had ever participated in crime or not, OF
even though he had joined it for the most
commendable and patriotic motives. The
Judge reverses the humane principle of the
old common law, and would rather convict
nine hundred and ninety-nine innocent
men than let one guilty escape.
There Is nothing revolving to a sense Of
human justice, to say nothing of Amer
can, in this whole sale and iudiscriminate
conviction Of whole masses Of PEOPLE to
infamou spunishment by packed iuries and
fabricated testimony. Men are arrested
| and thrown into prison on the say-so Of
any wretch, no matter how worthless, and,
on the same testimony, are joyfully sub
Jected by the Judge to Infamous penalties.
Political tyranny and judicial corruption
have IN all cases gone hand in hand. The
first uses the last as it's favorite ins.ru-
ment-though this last often mars the ends
it would attain. It's victims are visible
they excite the feelings of all feeling
hearts, and their pray ers reach the throne
OF mercy. Unless we have degenerated
from the' England of two centuries ago,
when Jeffries rotted in Jail, we may be
pardoned for INDUCING in the hope that a
like fate awaits all who pursue the came
path

Strange Bed Fellows.

The announcement that Colonel MARCUt
Erwin and Mr.. LEWIS HANEs would edit
the Raleigh Era, and the very afectionate
public embrace which the former gives
the latter, brings to mind torcibly the
rather homely edage Politics make
strange bed fellows. If there are two men
more diametrioally opposed to each other
in opinions, in habits, in association, in
manners. in looks, than any other two in
the world it is ERWIN and HANEs. They
have neve- thought alike upon any sub
ject upon which men could possibly differ,
and they are so constituted as to make it a
moral impossibility for them to agree
They may both have persuaded themselves
into the belief that it is ''good thing
but If they have they will soon agree that
they were mistaken, and beyond this they
can have no opinion in common.
Mr.. HANEs being a cons istent Unionist
throughout the war, should very naturally,
he says, have found himself in the Repub-
hcan party at it's close. but he didn't
Colonel ERWIN being a secessionist per Sc,
very naturally found himself at the close
Of the war in the Democratic party, and
he did.
Mr.. HANEs left the Conservative party
because it was not conservative enough
Colonel Erwin left it because it was too
conservative. The one cautious, timid,
slow. his sickly Republicanism is the re-
suit OF six years earnest cultivation the
others, like Jonah gourd, was the growth
of night, and will die as suddenly.
Mr. HANEs declines to go back upon his
record during tand since the war, and
boasts Of his opposition to leading Radical
measures. Colonel ERWIN goes back upon
his with q noachaldnce and relish that is
perfectly refreshing. Mr.. HANEs wouldn't
dot II for no other reason than his aversion
Of being original in anything, fearing he
might be guilty of some slight indiscre-
ton. Colonel Erwin would just to be
original, and from natural fondness for
slight indiscretions.
Mr.. HANEs is so tender-hearted that he
would not tread upon worm, much less
wound the feelings of human being
Colonel Erwin delights in treading upon
things generally, and hurting folks feel
ings in particular, of which General DOCK
ERx must have a very vivid recollection
from his experience in the State Senate in
1851. Mr.. HANEs' kindly disposition will
enable him to embrace the ''man and broth
81" in his political creed, while Colonel
HEw1N has about as much use for the po-
itical Sambo as he has for temperance
society,
We suppose that Mr.. HANEs will work
the heavy guns of the fortress and over
shoot his mark. The light artillery OF
Colonel EzwrN will be at short range

This well-known actress appeared Mon

now forty years since Miss Cushman made
her debut at the fremont, in Boston. an

in opera, in 1886 she came out at the old

The Queens Health-The AhsceSs


The public have observed with consid
cradle anxiety the recent statements in the
Court Circular respecting the health OF
the queen. They are the more grave as
coming from that Highland home in which
for SO many years her Majesty has been
wont to find health and refreshment She
mas sought, like Lumbers Of her subjects.
renewal of strength in the fresh noun
tain ar of Scotland, and that she should
there be Frustrated by weakness is matter
Tor special regret and concern. We grieve
to say, however, it is true that her Majesty
has suffered from a severe and painful at
tack of illness. 1t commenced with a
grave general arrangement of health
This WAS followed by violent af>
lection Of tho throat, which rendered
swallowing or speaking above a whisper
very painful and difficult; and the attack
ended IN very severe abscess under the
arm. The aUscess was opened by Profess
sor Lister last Monday week. ard proved
to be much larger than he had antici pated.
Fearing lest it should fail to progress sat-
isfactorily, or lest there should be any ap-
pearance of another, he remained at the.
CASTLE the whole of last week. Happily
there has been no drawback to tho pro-
cess Of cure, and the professor left Balmo,
raj on Sunday. We may trust, therefore,
that there is no occasion for further ankle
ty. The Queens health has SO much more
improved during the last few days, that
she appears in a fair way ofrecovery. We
observe with pleasure that she is able to
resume her drives. but such an illness is
extremely weakening and distressing
Her strength is much reduced, and we
fear 1t must be soma timo before she re-
covers even her usual state of health.

It is thus seen, that while the aggregate
value of taxable property is reduced more
than one-half, the county taxation alone
has been increased four, five, and even
ten fold beyond any experience before re-
construction. If this system Of extcrtion
and robbery had been imposed upon a
people ordinarily prosperous. it might
possibly have been endured. But it was
applied to population, exhausted by the
privations of four years of uneqal strife,
suddenly deprived of their accustomed la
Dor, and utterly destitute Of any resource
but their own hands, to recommence the
battle of life. The history Of the civilized
world presents no such spectacle of tyr
amy and spoliation combined, OF OF
tranquil submission to such mOnstrous
wrongs on the part of spirited people

Cape Fear Agricultural Association TO
the Patrons of this AssOcIaIion
Our next annual Fair will commence on
the 18th of November and continues for
four days. !
We hope this Fair will be mora attrac-
tive ard useful than either of the ones
preceding it, which have been regarded as
successful.
Arrangements have been made for a
larger exhibition of Agricultural and Me-
chanical implements, and we hope mer-
chants will make much larger display
Of their wares and merchandise than ever
before. To the Farmers we say we ex
pect them to be much more fully repre-
sented than they we're last year. We hope
tc see very large show of stock of all
kinds, not neglecting good specimens of
the native stock.
Cotton and other crops, We trust, will be
fully represented by the choicest speci-
mems.
In the Department of Useful Machinery
we fully expect to have on exhibition one
OF "Thompson's Road Steamers" that
have proved go successful to the farming
interests wherever they have been intro
duced. |
We expect some fine specimens Of the |
Horse, both for Plantation use and for |
epeeO ana pleasure.
Added to the foregoing, the attractions
of FLORAL HALL, under the supervision of
the ladies of our city, We trust will be well
