THIS AND THAT.-While the own,
ers of the local mines in Pennsylya-
MIA combine to put up the price of
coal, month after month, to the dis
comfort of the poor, Providence has
been lavish with his bounties in the
most genial weather in a season us
ually cold and requiring large con
sumption of fuel. Men are hard
masters Of the people, and Providence
their best benelactor.
A scientific report received by the
War Department shows that the Black
Hills country is admirably adapted for
settlement. 1t abounds in timber
grass, flowing streams and springs
The soil is of wonderful fertility. Nc
coal has been found, but iron, gypsum
and traces of plum hago, and indica-
tons of gold in the soil near Harvey 5
Peak, as well as in quartz beds in con
siderable quantities.

be jeopsrdized. The Sholo anti war dett
was created out Of that confidence in the
honesty Of North Carolina, and the skill
and integrity with which her finances had
been handled. Most If those bonds sold
above par. and the proceeds we're expend-
ed IN the State COR the designated purposes.
Whether the investments or purposes were
profitable is not the question.
In the settlement Of this question thecon-
dition and necessities Of the present are not
alone to De considered. The life of State
extends through many generations. and not
only the probable future wants Of the eS-
isting population, but that justice due to
its successors, demand that care be had that
no steps be taken to embarrass us or them
by legislation which affixes an indelible
stain upon State character.
What would be the consequence of leg
islation which taking the matter into its
own hands; would decide for one side with
out the participation or consent Of the 9th
err! Would it not bear the character OF
semi-repudiation? What would be the va
lue Of he new bonds issued to replace the
old ones 80 arbitrarily displaced? What
confidence that these in turn would not
have to give way for others of still less va
lue? What hope that the State should
ever expand in greatness or increase IN po-
pulaiion BY the addition Of strength from
other territory?
Upon the payment Of the ante war debt.
we have had but ole opinion that it should
be paid. Or at least fully recognized and Sc
cured. with provision for such rate o.
interest as the present means Of the State
should warrant. increasing gradually to the
/ present legal rate. This recognition would
at once re-establish the character Of the
/ State for honesty and facilitate all future
operations in financial negotiation.
As regards the balance Of the debt i
may be regarded as ct subject Of reduc
ton. and which would probably encounter
no obstacle from the holders of the bond
representing the debt.
The special tax bonds may be assumed
valid BY the Courts. Until they are 80 d.
iiniteIy declared. We repudiate them. ant
believe the State will be sustained in s.
doing BY the moral sense, and the fuancia
Judgment Of the world.

NEW YEAR.


We greet our readers at the opening Of
the New Year. and wish them uninterrupt-
ed health and prosperity.
We know in the light Of experience and
under the inexorable DEGREES Of Providence
in the government Of man and of the Uni
verse. that this to sll, is not to be expected.
The events Of each past year, with its dark
record Of death and disaster. Of pestilence
and famine, ofconhagration and shipwreck,
Of blasted crops and commercial disaster,
riseyiyidly before the memory. The same
sad reiteration is to be repeated through all
time. Yet to the masses the future is al
ways gilded with bright presages, and that
hope, which springs eternal in the human
heart leads them forward into the 'sha-
dowy future. with brave hearts aud conf
dent expectation.
May such truthfulness and such hope in
spire all our readers. and may the close Of
1874 find them all blessed in health, and
crowned with prosperity.
