r~We lay down our pen at the close
of the year, with wishing our friends
and patrons a merry Christmas and It
happy New Year. In rctrOspection Of
the past, let us not lingcr too long be-
side the wrecks Of fond hopes and the
lowly mounds where plans lie buried
forever. In this moving, aggressive
world one needs present purposes and
active energies. The luggage of the
Past should be left where we change
cars for another year. Take, therefore,
kind reader, with you into the New
Year only the wares and stores that
| will accelerate your speed to happiness
and prosperity, and in your inventory
! put down PLUCK and the New Years
best wishes of the Printer.

that the Kellogg party utterly disre-

THE SITUATION.

Our readers, we are certain, care not
to be inflicted with the naddening de-
tails, recited day by day, of the pro-
press of African usurpation at the State
capital. 1t is sufficient to say that CIV
cry move made by the Customhouse
people since our last issue, has tended
to inaugurate a de .fdcto government In
utter defiance of the will and welfare
of the people, and to fasten that gov
eminent upon them. We know of no
immediate remedy for this great wrong,
or in fact of any remedy so potent, as
| organized resistance, by Peaceable
means, on the part Of the tax-paying
portion Of the people. And it has, be-
yond question, come to this, that the
property-holders have either to organ
ize and resist this great usurpation, o.
be prepared to see, very soon, thel'
property sold to pay taxes, and tn
State hopelcssly ruined in credit ant
bankrupt in its treasury. Mr.. hel.oS:
will no more be able to control his leg
:, islature than he will SO many galloot
and iayhawkers, except he goes wit
them. The few reasonable men il
Mechanics Institute are already dumb
foundered and paraiyzed. The pee
pies cause is alone in the people
q hands. Will they act now, or wi
+ they submit and become paupers?

LOUISIANA OUTRAGE IN CONGRESS-.

The following debate occurred in the
House on the 18th:
Cox, of New York, moved to suspend
the rules and adopt /, resolution reclt-
ing that the State government OF Lou
isiana is now administered by orders
from the Federal Courts, supported by
Federal bayonets, such condition OF
things being subversiVe of civil govern
ment and dangerous to liberty, ana
requesting the President to inform the
House why the Executive Of the Uni
! ted States interfercs N the affairs OF
that State, giving all the facts; also to
give all information on that subject
relative to the conduct of T.. II. Dureii,
U. S. Judge there, so that the House
may determine what steps, If any,
ought to be taken III consequence Of
such Interference i'll the political affairs
of Louisiana.
Stevenson, of Ohio, asked Cox to
omit the preamble.
l Cox consented to that and to the in
sertion Of the words, eff not incoi-ipat-
IDLE with the public Interests"
Eldridge, of Wisconsin, asked Cox
) not to insert those words; there could
be 10 such thing as incOn1 1atlbillty
with the public interests ii, q i.latter OF
, that kind. Congress was entitled to
, know by what right Or authority the
President interfered in the civil gov
ernnent of Il State.
= Cox said he had inserted these words
5 so as to have the resolution adopted
| without any partisan or acri & o. .ois
discussion. He only wanted the. facts
to come out, and al the basis for the
Presidents action in that most impor
tant matter.
5 Sypher, of Louisiana, denied that tho
It President had interlered in any way in
If the Louisiana matter, except to order
the execution of the mandates Of the
u. S. Courts.
G Cox declined to take the statement O
d Sypher, or any Of tie ncwspa pers il
e the matter.
Il Sypher-I will furnish the proof Of it
CoX-The gentleman cannot speal
10 for the President; / want the informa
re ton from the President.
q, Bingham, Of Ohio, suggested to Co,
" to strike out the allusion to Durei, a
- the information which the Prcsiden
~ would furnish would necessarily cove
- the point.
y Cox said he did nov intend to anent
IS the resolution any further.
Schofield, Of Pennsylvania, askct
Cox to omit the closing words Of tn
=; resolution, so that the House ma.
Judge, etc, which he thought Implied
K, that the House would do something
e perhaps offensive.
Of Cox declined to accedc to the suggcs

secure an exposure Of the outrases per-

anae Will Congress? Never, until
Congress is reconstructed Will the
people of New England, or the West ?
Never, until we can live without them
Will Grant? Bah!
And what, pray, will an exposure
amount to? We have had two expos
ures Of the outrages perpetrated upor
Louisiana, and what became of thu
records? No doubt the paper-make
has purchased all but a few hundred o
the ponderous volumes printed to com
memorate our misfortunes. Not
hundred men in Boston or Chicago to

ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD
COMPANY.

The Macon Telegraph has been furnished
with o report of the Stale commissioners
Hons. Iverson L. Harris, VIM. B. Fleming, j.
R. Alexander, W. B. Bennett and B. F. BruIon,
appointed to represent the million dollars OF
stock held by the State in the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad Company. The committe Q
make strong argument In favor of carrying
ont the original design of this road, and
placing 1t Ia connection with the Cult at PEN
sacola, Mobile and New Orleans, which can
now be done by the construction of one hun
dred and sixty live miles ofrailroad from Baiu-
bridge 10 Pollard in Alabama, where it will con-
meet with finished linessof railway to all these
places. They say such Is the poverty oil the
soil which this road traverses, that its local
traffic can never return the investment. The
whole taxable property Of the region-leaving
out Chatham and Dougherty Counties
not exceed fifteen millions, and the whole
amount of cotton derived from l5O miles of
the distance in 1871 was only 22s6 bales. They
say If the gap between Bainbridee and poI.
lard were filed mp, they would have COM &C.
tion between Savannah and Mobile in a dis
lance Of 476 miles, and to New Orleans in sic
miles-whlle the distance via Macon and
Montgomery would be 7O5 miles. The com
missoners do not propose any specific meas
ure to the Legislature.

the production of the names of eleven col

promptly forthcoming, and among them were
DR.. A. T. Augusta and others who had ad-
dressed the letter to Mr.. Sumner. Other
names will be forthcoming, from time to time,
and there is 40 risk in the assertion that the
majority of the influential colored men here
agree with Mr.. Sumner, who they still recog-
nize as their great champion.
The administration make loud professions
of civil service reform, and among other
things 1t processes TO discountenance the de-
demand of money for campaign purposes.
Nevertheless the clerks are asked to make
voluntary contributions, but all understand
that If their voluntary contributions are not
forthcoming their tenure of office will be very
brief.
A private letter received here from North
Carolina says that Secretary BOulwell's

he only excited disgust, and turned many OF
the Republicans to vote Tor the Democratic
ticket.

Monday Night.

New York, Tuesday Morning, August 6.
The Tribune of this morning estimates Mer-
rImon's majority from its dispatches, which
nearly cover the whole Of North Carolina, al
1911. The Worlds Raleigh dispatches Say
the election will be very close, and that. II
Caldwell obtains the same ratio of gain in the
counties to be heard from he will be elected
bv q very small vote. Onslow County gives
Merrimon gain of four hundred, which
makes his chances more favorable.
The Herald's Raleigh dispatch says 1t will
take the official vote to decide. The Democra
tic and Republican gains come 10 alternatel!
causing excitement and suspense. II d,
well is declared elected, Merrinen willkton
test. An estimate made by Phillips, the
chairman of the Republican State central
committee, giving the State to Caldwell 6y
I4OO majority is generally discredited. No
confidence Is to be placed in the reports OF
mBjoritIes on one side or the other.
