The debt of North Carolina, like that
III most of the Southern States, mas
caused q bitter controversy. 1t was
largely contracted in behalf of a
thievish ring, the leader of which is
now 4 fugitive from the State. When
til" Republicans had full power in the
State, they incorporated a clause in
the Constitution requiring the / egisla-
ture TO levy tax to pay the debt and
interest This created great excite
ment and opposition among all classes,
and the Democrats took advantage of
tins feeling to promote their interests
last year. The first clause in the above
bst is the result of that canvass, and it
will probably be adopted. Repudia-
tlon has been threatened but, if the
debt is to be found legal, and not
fraudulent, as in South Carolina, no
party will dare to adopt that policy

Death OF Rev. Burxven Temple.


We regret to announce the death of
Rev. Burwell Temple, which occurred
on Sunday night, the 9th, after a
painful illness of several weeks. MIR.
Temple, at the time of his death, was
editor and proprietor of the Primitive
Baptist, religious paper which he
purchased of a MIR. George Howard in
the year 1S4S. MIR. Temple was near
50 years of age at the time of his
death.
The Raleigh Sentinel pays the fol-
lowing just tribute to one, who, during
long life, was faithful and true.
His death was neither sudden or un.
expected. He had been standing for
ten years upon the extreme borders of
human life. For months lie has been
waiting for the master to come and re-
heve him from the yoke of his labors.
which he has so long and faithfully
borne. At thirteen minutes past nine
O'Clock on SundayInight, the 27th, the
Master came and found his faithful
servant ready, willing, and waiting.
His example and influence will long be
felt, for he taught not only how to
live but how to die. Death had for
him no terrors, the grave had over
him no victory. BLESSED are they
who die in the Lord"

skin deep. 1t addresses itself to all men in
favor Of pure government, and there is no
reason why all such men should not move
forward under the same banner and name.
The party appeals to such men, to all men
without prejudice, who would overthrow

For obvious reasons, says the Chicago
TiBes, American iron-masters have been
very careful not to let the public know what
it costs to make ton of pig iron. Mr.. Da-
vid A. Wells attempted to find out few
years ago, and sitter seeking information
from many sources reached The conclusion
that the cost Of production in different To-
calities varied from SIS to $25 per ton. As
Stunning this conclusion to be correct, Mr.
Wells demonstrated that duty OF So per
ton would afford American masters ample
protection against their foreign competitors.
The masters disputed Mr.. Wells figures,
and made a labored attempt to convince
people that he had placed the cost of pro-
duction five or six dollars too low.
But now at /. length the truth, or at
least considerable part Of the truth,
has come to light in roundabout way.
An English dealer has written to the Lon
don Times saying that about year and q
half ago be sent thoroughly competent
gentleman to examine the mineral re-
sources Of district in Western Virginia
and East Tennessee, which, as the dealer
believes, is soon to become sn important
centre of iron manufacture. This gentle
man was 30 fortunate as to obtain access to
the books of an East Tennessee establish

THE Treasurer Of the United States has
received an official letter from the Treasur-
er Of Lake county, Illinois, covering $685.
%, the portion Of this back pay sent to that
county b. the Hon. JohnF. Farnsworth-
having divided bis back pay between the
counties composing his district, believing lie
had hit upon popular way Of getting rid of
It. Upon this Incident The New York TTi-
bluae remarks:
"Lake county, Illinois, does not want
anybody's back pay. The Hon. John F.
Farnsworth, who wss one CT the first to at
tempt to get his share Of the plumber out
of his hands, distributed his back pay
among the counties Of his Congressional
District. The Tribune told Mr.. Farusworth
that that was all very well, but the money
did not belong anywhere but in the United
States Treasury. That Lake county has
found this to be the fact, aud has sent its
share to Treasurer Spinner, shows good
degree of honesty and perspic.city in the
Lake county mind"

WHAT is NEEDED.

The ClnclnnaSl COHlnleTCtdt sayss
"There is belief, probably well found
ed, that the house of Henry CleWes & Co. is
very largely interested in the bonds of
Southern States. South Carolina bonds es-
pecially have been very largely negotiated
by the robbers Of that State through Henry
C,eWes & Co. There has been grand and
beautiful scheme to cause the assumption
OF the debts of the States by the Nation.
If that were done we do not donbt that
Henry Clewes & Co. would be placed upon
thei- feet. All that Congress has to do
TO restore the credit OF Cooke and
Clewes, is to take up the burdens of the
| Northern Pacific Railroad and of the carpet
bagged States. The operation is very sim
pie. The only question is whether the peo-
pie who will have TO pay the debts of the
nation, are going any further in that d.
recion."
Ithss been repeatedly charged that Clewes
is largely interested in the fraudulent Geor-
gia bonds issued by the Bullock govern
mcnt three or four years ago. There is not
a single doubt that the assumption of the
Southern States debt by the Federal Gov
ernmcnt would set Clewes square on his
feet again.
