Itsseems particularly unfortunate and In

sgain be oiaraded apon the country at this
jancturc. There never has been Tins since
the war whenTa return toa healthy naticn-
al sentiment bad 50 nearly been reached,
never time when sectional animosities had
been so nearly allayed.
The dangers Of foreign war had recall

tisfaction.

perfection i the full equality Of the negro.
Why should that subject be presented

rights Of person and Of property fully at

than the negroy Most assuredly not.
IL be goes beyond this; If. as Sumner

ineradicable distinction which no laws can

Of the South will not argue. Logic nor

THE STATE DEBT.

Various measures have been proposed
during the present session Of the Legisla-
tare looking to q settlement Of this vexed
question. Until II l. settled, there WILDE
feeling Of dlsquIet and uncertainty both
10 the State and out cf it. The State Is
trammelled every way. II the debt Is held
70 its present magnitude, and is considered
binding uSon Il. we sanros honestly and
consistently invite immigration to share
with us the weight Of an intolerable bur
den. But we cannot pay all. The soft
fattery Of Reverdy johnson, that the re-
sources Of the State are 50 great, and her
character for honor 50 high, that she will.
on the FIRST ground, find no difficulty in
meeting her obligations, and on the other.
cannot afford to tarnish her fame, may tic
lie the ear, but will not convince the rea-
son. We cannot meet the whole Of the
debt. Its very magnitude represses The
energies. and excludes the capital. necessa-
~ for the development of those resources
upon which Mr.. johnson found theme for
his rhetorical fourishes.
Reduce the amount. remove the incuous.
and then we may expect to see the State as
rich and prosperous az she can be.
We regard the proposition of the com
mittee, IAN abstract of which 4 found un-
DIR our Legislative head.) as the most fea-
siSle, and at the same time. the most just
scheme which could be presented. 1t EN-
bodies the ideas of Mr. Worth. of Mr..
Flemming and others who have introduce
Ell bills with plans to the view Of settle
,nent. The idea which under.ies the whole
i. that the honor Of the State must be pre-
served. while her poverty must be consider
ed; that she should respect obligations ho
nestly incurred, while at the same time du,
weight should be given to the consideration
ofthose circumstances which altered Der con
dition. and stripped her Of her property
that, while she is willing TO do justice to all
the fact stands prominent that her povert
Is not her choice. and that the act If con
queror destroyed that basis upon which he
credit was founded; and that therefore ii !
not right. any more than it is possible. tina
she should be called upon to meet III
whole Of her obligations to those by who's
very acts she has been crippled in her eaps
biiitiss.
The special tax bonds are thoroughly i
nored in this bill. There IS somethin
grand in this cool defiance Of the pressur
which is exerted to elevate these iniquitis
into the dignity Of honest credits. Their
is something strikingly North carOlinian
il.
Il is q calm deliberate determination
rooted in the breast Of nearly every man
which will never be weakened by reason
decisions Of the Courts. and which will OF
y be subdusd BY force too powerful 70 |
overcome By argument.

From table which has just been comniled
by reliable authority in New York. it seems
that there are fifty five railroad companies in
this country which are now in default for nom
payment of interest on their bonds. The sum
total of railroad bonds on which interest is now
overdue and unpaid amounts to 1911, 959, 21l or
triffe less than 10 per cent. of the whole
amount of railroad bonds OUTSTANDING
which is estimated at 81, 100, OOo, 900. The table
does not include roads which have already been
sold out under foreclosure, nor those roads
which have recently been embarrassed in their
finances, like the Northern Pacific for instance.
but whose interest has not slice fallen due. and
are therefore not now in default
