A Letter From North Carolina.
CHARLOTTE. N. c.. July 81. 1879

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 81. 1873.
Mr.. Editor: I arrived here at21 o'clock
this afternoon, III a run of about II hours
from Johnstons, s,-l62 miles, The road
is in excellent order, and never enjoyed
a Railroad ride for the distance as have
this. - -.
There has latterly been very fine rains
alIsfhe distance, except from near Co.
lumbia to Doko. The cropsgare what 1
term sorry, with .fcw exceptions from
Johnston's to Leesville. From thence
to Doko, the second or third station this
side Of Columbia, we will drop the cur
tain. From Dpko tothis place, as far as
can be seen from the Road, with the ex.
ceptions of very few fields, they are in
the superlative degree most sorry. From
about Doko to near Chester c. H., the
land seems to be nearly all worn out, and
but asmall portion in cultivation,-h -hilly,
stony, no timber for fepccs, the land
thrown out and grown up with a scrubby
growth Of pines,S which look that they
will require an age to get sufficient size
to makerails. No wonder they wish o
change in the fence law.
= After passing Chester C, H, there is q
great change in the face of the country
Until crossing the Catawba river it is
level, has low, flat, swampy appear
ancc, and but little growth on land which
has been turned outsfor years.
Entering North Carolina to this place
the face Of the country is more like Fair
field. .Inahaste, Yours, s.

The Ku Kldx Cases.

A delegation ofsprominent citizens
Of South Carolina, consistingsof the
Hon. w. D. Porter, General q. B.
Kershaw, and Messrs. R. NJ. Sims and
S. A. Durham, accompanied by. Assis
tant Secretary Sawyer, Of the treasury,
waited upon Attorney General Williams,
in the city of Washington, on the oath,
requesting that all proceedings in refer
ence to the outrages of the Ku-Klux-
Klan be suspended. and urging the par
don of those now confined in the Albany
Penitentiary. They represent that as an
organization the klan has ceased to exist
in this State, and that lenicnt policy ON
tho part of the government will tend 10
restore peace and order.
Attorney-General Williams informed
them that it was the policy of the gov
ernmcnt to prosecute only aggravated
cases, and. that orders had already been
given to that effect, and that as soon as
the President, was fully satisfied that
peaceable. citizens would b, protected in
the'i property and life, general suspen-
sion of the prosecutions would be desi-
rable.r He also informed the delegation
that many Ku-KluX prisoners had been
pardoned, and pardons would be issued
to the others the most aggravated cases
being detained until the last
The delegation was much pleased with
the encouragement given them by the
attorney general. They also expected to

Profits of Horse Raising.

We have seen copy Of the George
town (Ky.,) Times, which describes q
recent sale of thoroughbred horses by
a. J. Alexander, Of that county, and as
an evidence of the lucrative character of
the horse raising business we give some
of the figures, which will prove interest
ing to horse owners and dealers in stock.
Fifty-four colts were disposed of for
S29, ,22O-prices ranging from $50 to 900; /;
a full brother of Kingfsher bringing the
latter price. Thirty-eight thoroughbreds
So, 200; all average of over 5000. Six
teen trotters sold for $3.50; an average
of over $500. We do not know that this
sale was an exceptional one. 1t is fair
example of the profitable character of
the business. kentucky has grown
wealthy through the efforts of her horse
dealers, and is tho great fountain of sup
ply for the thoroughbred stock of the
country.

A Wooden Railroad.

The Clarendon Press, Of the 18th, con-
tains lengthy account Of, the wooden
railroad or tramway which hls been late y
built, and which brings Manning Court
house III communication with the outside
world:
"The South Carolina Central Railroad
had been allowed to drop through the
hands of the original projectors, and a
considerable amount Of cutting out and
grading had been accomplished, when
Messrs. Land & Pritchett. large, turpen-
tine distillers, doing & very large business,
purchased the right of way and set about
to construct a road that would take their
products to market. The 4ead from Man
ming to Lanes Turnout, on the North
Eastern Railroad, was cleaned out and
graded, and laid with scantling. This
road is afteen and q half miles long. The
bed is constructed precisely as all other
railroads are. The whole structure above
the bed isf-ecisely similar to other rail
roads, except, in place Of iron, this road
has wooden stringers, four by five inches,
fastened down TO the cross ties by long
lror spii.cs passing through both stringer
and cross tii:, MAILING the strlngers both
steady and firm. These striggcrs gre five
inches upon their face, and the trucks or
wheels OF the running stock arc five inch
es upon their face. The friction in run
ming being distributed over wide surfaces,
the injury to the rails will be much less.
The Aanges to the wheels are two and a
half inches deep, thereby preventing any
probability Of running off A portion of
the road has been in operation five months,
oyer which trains have been running daily,
and MOO: q the stringers are smooth. The
rolling stock on the road is common, but
quite cffectual. The engine is worth only
eighteen hundred dollars, but is sufficient
to carry seven or eight cars, loaded, at the
rate of fifteen miles per hour The pro-
prietors are now gone to the North for an
ether engine of greater capacity. The
road is regarded success. and answers all
the purposes of a first class iron road
The road has cost about twelve hundred
dollars per mile BY this road fifty thous
and pounds can be sent twice day.

The Fraudulent State Bonds.
[From the Meic YORK. SnM.l

lFfOHt tNC NCW 4 Uffb 'ONb'J
The South Carolina bond case, in which
New York bondholders are largely litter
csted, is likely to be protractcd Indefinitely,
as Judge Carpenter, Of the Court nj Com
mon Pleas in Columbia, has granite an
injunction which prohibits Tic co:n;'iroipc.
from collecting and the STATE t!,asarcr
from paying out any moneys oil #tcun
OF principal or interest Of certa:.i Aonds.
known as conversion bonds, uniIi l!.r lur-
ther order of the court. The lax .,ayrrs
OF South Carolina will be sure to do I'LL
they can to resist the payment Of tie dis
puted bonds at all unless it CAN be sllu@n
that they were legally issued. The b 'nis
in question amount to over seven million
dollars The ground on which their W.
idity is disputed is that although sonc-
thing more than r million dollars ot them
were properly issued in conversion Of :tock,
the remainder, say six million dollars, are
unauthorized by law and therefore Invalid.
10 speak more plainly, the TAXPAYERS con-.
tend that out OF about seven million; Of
the bonds six millions were issue,l i'll ;;ef-
ance of law by carpet-bag thieves, who
stole the money realized upon en-, and
that therefore the State is not liable for
The payment of any, unless it can hr
shown that they were legally issued. Ii
is an important question which has 20 be
decided, namely, whether innocent foreign
holders OF obligations issued BY the au-
thorlties OF State can be made to suffer
for the misconduct OF such authorities. 1t
would be hard for the innocent holders if
their bonds should eventually prove worth
less, and it will be equally hard for the
overtaxed people OF South Carolina if
they are compelled to pay six millions Of
dollars on account of debts illegally con.
tracted by the thieving carpet bag officials
for their own private benefit, especially as
the officials have been imposed upon them
against their will 1t is a sad business
from any point of view; and the worst of
it is that it is only fair example Of tile
state of things prevailing in all Of the re-
constructed States in which the Grant Re-
Publicans have succeeded in maintaining
their ascendency.

OBITUARY.

DEPARTED this life,ion the morning
Of the 10Th July, 1S73S Mr.. JESSE GU
MILLION, in the 6Sth1year Of his age.
And Hisa sad factSthat in him died
the lastmale representative of.th family
name ofGonftili6n- -&1ame't3ng z known; ;;
honoredan respectedin lGdGetield gorln
~. 1t Is; Justly comm endable that we
commcmorate.th the dead not onlyfhy en-
shrininS, ,tlteirtvirtues in our he3rts; but
also, i'll speaking them in poettyt,prose,'
or song.
The deceased possessed traits of char
acter which marked him rs ggentleman
of sterling worth and enduring esteem.
His manly form WAS the embodiment of
a soul which knew no impulse but that
Of honor and integrity. In all his husi-
ness and social relations Of life, those
traits were, strikingly exemplified. His
promises were ever: Sacrcdly observed
and punctilio:sly fulfilled Many, very
many friends and acquaintances were
attracted to hishearth and home to enjoy
hisopen hospitality and high social quail
ties. His attachment to friends was
strong, ardent, Hnmistakable. And he
chose them not for their wealth, position,
fame, or notorietY, but simply for their
inmate worth, however humble their
position, or however destitute their
means. The lowly peasant, the revered
divine, the distinguished statesman, the
man of science, or of letters, all equally
enjoyed his confidence and esteem, If
found worthy. .'
His many acts Of unostentatious charl-
ty to the poor of his neighborhood, .af-
ford striking manifestation of the good
ness of his heart. a'' e"
As q husband, he was kind, tender,
atfcctionate,-as father, fond and doting
AS a neighbor, obliging-as a citizen,
irreproachable, as amaster, patriarchal,
human, magnanim0us, as his former
slaves all willingly attest. ,.,..
The heath of the subject of this notice
had been seriously impaired for several
years, and gradually declined to the close
of liio., In his declining years, he was
much given to religious meditation and
prayer. And he repeatedly told the
writer that lie had found peace with God
in believing upon the Lord Jesus Christ,
and that his hope Of blessed immor-
tality was strong and unwavering.
ThUs has passed from earth to Heaven
one of natures noblemen,"' leaving an
only child, but many friends and ac-
quaintances, to mourn his demise.
May He who "tempers tbe wind to the
shorn lamb" shield his infant daughter
from temptation, and lead her to fix her
hopes where she may see and enjoy
again, in unending day, her now sainted
parents.
"No lingering look, no parting sigh,
Our future meeting knows
There friendship beams from cry eye,
And love immortal glows.
D sacred hope! o blissful hope!
Which Jesus grace has given,-
The hope, when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven"
