seat i'll the blOod-diseases which have been
treated vainly for years. If the blood alone is

"Sec. IS. No aid shall be given to any

age attendance ofeighteen or more, contin-
ned eight months, shall receive 500. A
school of eighty scholars, with an average

Mr.. Cewles moved to amend as follows ::
" PrOrided that if the citizens of any

ing a school as provided for in this section,
| the school district shall be entitled to its
proportion of the public school fund and
| NAV have a school taught for such length

tanned for that period"
Mr.. Cowles' amendment was adopted

Say six millions, (G5OO,OOO,) five hun
bred thousand dollars, bearing interest
until 1875 at = per cent first five years !;
thereafter, three per cent, and so on up to
7 per cent, and then tor 22 years at per
cent-making the average interest six per
cent. Would this offer be accepted? We
may at least hope SO.
We have already received proposals of
compromise which affords some assurance
that our creditors are willing to accede to
similar terms. And | believe sir, it can be
demonstrated to the bOndhOlders that it
would be to their advantage to accept these
terms rather than to dispose Of their bonds
at present market rates. The whole argl-
nlent would turn on the point of estate
credit" on our good faith, If they shOull
place confidence on our integrity and in
our determination to sustain the credit of
the State they would not hesitate to make
the compromise. In fact capitalists could
well afford to buy North Carolina bonds at
present quotations for the purpose of eX-
changing them, and by doing SO would
under the proposed arrangement receive an
average of ten per cent on their invest
ment, and on maturity of the new bones
would realize an additional fifty per cent
increase on their original capital. This is
Il sufficient inducement, and we might eX-
pccp Inc cNcIftnSc Will TcdSOHlDfc cOIll-
denco. But, sir, can the people afford to
pay the taxes necessary to meet the interest
on the proposed bonds? Without doubt.
1t is not questionable. Remember the
bonds issued because Of the North Carolina
railroad will not he exchanged for new
bonds; they will either be exchanged for
stock, or the holders will retain them, rely
ing on the dividends Of that road for their
interest, and oil the stock itself for their
principal in 1888, when the bonds fall due.
We will have TO raise only $50, 900 until
1870, and then $4,000 additional for each
succeeding term Of five years until 1900.
This would be no great burden to our
people. We have, say $40, OOO,O 900 Of
property, so per cent. Of our property in
1861 it yields about four and a half per
cent. net income or So, 100000. Now one
foltieth Of this income is all we would re-
quire, or say the anntial value Vi our entire
receipts is $76,0O0,0O0. From this large
amount can we not contrive to save one
dollar in 800 Of gross receipts, and appro-
pirate it to sustain the credit of the State !?
And in this connection, gentlemen must
not overlook thai tbs burdens of govern
ment have been lightened, and thai TIE
State is again on the road to prosperity,
both Of which causes operate to improve
our ability to raise this small amount of

motion to reconsider on the table, but With
drew his motion.
Mr.. Moore advocated the reconsideration
and the passage of the bill. He thought II
the true means to build up the State. Inc
Republican party were in favor OF 1t, ana
the negroes supported it, and feared no
competition in labor.
Price, colored, followed in opposition 10
the bill. He did not consider Mr. Moore
as the custodian of the views of the Re-
publican party, and particularly OF the col
ored people, on this subject. He (Prlce)
believed the object of the bill was TO
drive out and supplant the negroes OF the
State.
Mr.. Robbins, of Rowan, urged the re-
consideration. Pc combatted the idea OF
the purpose of this bill being to drive OUT
the negro. That notion, he said, emanateu
from interested demagOgues whispered INTO
the negro's ear. Mr.. r. enlarged upon MS
views as given i'll the previous report OH
this bill. -.

Winch HUMAN AND Winch BRUTE p
The Dubuque Telegraph vouches for the
following singular horse story: On
Monday evening last man, whose name
we could not learn, was seen vending his
way up Julien avenue, leading a mare by
the bride. He was badly intoxicated, 90
much SO that he staggered, and it was
sometimes as much as he could do to
maintain his equilibrium. The mare kept
a close watch on his movements, and
whenever he came near falling, the mare
would grab his coat collar between her
teeth and hold him up. She did 30 no
less than dozen times, in the presence
Of several spectators. The drunken man
fell down in the street once. but no soon.
er had he done so than the animal grab
bed the back Of his coat, and set him on
his feet again. Whom little beyond
McNulty's house, the owner Of the mare
met an acquaintance Of his, who was
also drunk. They engaged in converse
ton, and whilo talking, bumped against
each other and the man first alluded to
fell. He was Immediately picked up by
by tho mare, and just as soon as she had
finished her job, she turned around and
let her heels Gy in a savage manner at the
man who knock her master down. For
tunately her heels missed the mark. "

From Pomeroy's Democrat.
The Mocking Bird.

ny J, P. HART.
Oh, listen to that merry bird.
As he triils his varied song;
Thrice welcome ey'ry passing breess
Ihat watts his melody along.
,Tis tho mockinS bird thus that sings.
Like an angel from the sky,
Thou king OF sOngsters, gifted bird.
Whose voice is liquid melody.
How often al dusky even tide,
And IN the bracing. baimy morn,
On summers rephyrs speeding by,
To me thy fav'r song is borne.
From slumbers light wake at night,
Thy enrapturing strains to hear;
Did angel choir against thoe sing.
Thy notes alone shosid claim my ear
Thy home. not in the thicket dense.
Ihro' which some stream is won TO glide;
Nor where willow and the water-oaK
With tangiing vines in gloom abide;
But in some old. sogafe,iered field,
where glowing sunshine, bright and free,
Like silver cloth fromsairy loom,
Enwraps topling, spreading tree.
If but that tree within my yard
That near my chamber window grew
lnclosed in wire, did form 4 cage,
That same sh ould be home for you
Then from its forksd leafy bows,
As from n crystal sensor bright,
Should.t thou pour out thy sparkling notes
To glad my day and sless my night.
Sing on thou bird of Paradise,
Thy glad song ding ye ever out;
Tor when my heart grows fsint and weak.
lis 1t that best can make it stoutl
/ trust. in Heavens rosy bower,
Among the angels that rejoice,
One day to sing as glad as thou,
And with, percbance, as sweet voice!
