CONSERVATIVE ECONOMY AND
R ADICA l. EXTRAVAGANCE-
THE DIFFERENCE!

u
The last session of the Legislature
| was the shortest regular session that
has been held since Reconstruction
began. In 1868, the so-called Legis-
| lature met in special session in July
and sat for fiftyfive days. 1t met
again on the 10th of November in the
! same year and sat one hundred and
forty-eight days, five months lacking
two days, with the exception of two
weeks during the Christmas holidays.
The same body met again on the 10Th
of November, 1869 and sat for one
hundred and thirty four days, with the
exception OF the usual Christmas holl-
days.
1870 tho Conservatives got con-
troll of the Legislature. The session
OF that winter lasted only one hundred
and fifteen days, including the forty-four
days of the trial of the impeachment
of G vernon Holden. The session OF
the winter of 1971-72, lasted only sew
enty-five days; the session of 1925
lasted eighty days; and the session
of 1874, lasted only seyenty-two
days.
Hero then there Will be seen sub
stantial benefit from Conservative rule.
The Radical Legislature met on July
l. 1868. and went out of Office on the
lst Thursday il August 1870. During
that time, period of about ttoO years,
it was in session three hundred and
four days. During the .fon' succeed
ING years under Conservative rule, the
LEGISLATURE was only in session
three hundred and forty-two days,
only thirty-eight days more IN four
years, than the Radicals consumed IN
two years.
In Radical, days per diem was seven
dollars; III Conservative days it IS i've
dollars. When it is understood that
the Legislature costs i'll cash, over one
thousand dollars during each day G.
its session for per diem alone, even at
the lowest rates; and when It IS re-
mcmbercd that during four years OF
Conservative rule, the Legislature was
III session only few days longer tlan
the Radical Legislature was during
two years; and when it is remembered
that by Conservative legislation the
General Assembly can hereafter meet
only once IL two years, the benefit OF
Conservative rule can be seen mt q
glance. The saving to the people in
this item of expense alone, is aston
ishing.

Governor CURTIS II. BEO''I,GE, whom
the death Of the late Governor tALD-
WE'LL has called to the Chief MagiS-
tracy of the State, has long occupied
n prominent position before the pc"Di''
of North Carolina.
In 1888 he made his first appearance
in the Legislative Halls as q member
of the House Of Commons, and from
that time continued to serve III enc
branch or the other of the t'ci9 RAJ
Assembly, until he was elected hy HAT

Joined the Radical party and repre-
scented the county of Wayne III the

Governor. Sirce then his only
public duty has been to preside over
the deliberations of the Senate.

charge of the duties of the high Office
thus suddenly devOlved upon him
with due sense of the tremendous
responsibility they impose upon him.
Let him remember that he has reached
the highest position in the gift of the
people of his native State. and remom-
herring this let him not forget that if
he would have his name go down =
posterity with the honor meet for one
who has held such high trusts, he must
cease to be partizan and become 4
patriot. Let him be in truth and in

merely the chief of a party, and all
good men will support and sustain
him.
Governor BRoGDEN has an oppOrtU-
nifty that comes not to many men, and
the great question is, what Will lie dC
with it Is it too much to hope he
will so use it that the virtues of the
Governor will blot out the shOrtcom

TEsE, NEGRO PARTY.

Inthis Congressional district the Rad
cal party polled in 1872 fer its candi-
date for Governor 13, ,5G5 votes. The
last United States census report shOws
that there were II, ,S53 negro voters in
the district. Now every body knows
that not even death and taxes are more
certain to come than q negro is to vote
Negroes will vote, and in too many
cases they not only vote early but they
vote often. Let us then take the ne
gro vote from the whole vote cast by
the Radical party, and see what re-
mains as the white vote cast by that
party in this Congressional District:

What spectacle ? And is not that
party properly called the negro party
that casting over thirteen thousand
votes can not show as many as tEir-
teen hundred white mon in its ranks :;
that making full allowance for all
errors of calculation can not chow one
white man for every ten neglOcs :;
And a majority Of them such white
men Is such n party as this any
thing else but negro party? Can ii
properly be called anything else but
n negro party?
The consequence Of such mixture
is inevitable. The handful of Office
seekers representing the white element
in the party are obliged topandcr tothe
negroes and obliged to yield to their
every demand SO long as they stay in
the party. Mr.. Neill Mckay may say

on the negro boy Martin, convicted of
the murder of little Willie Carter, he
took occasion to pander to his negro
party by telling them how much better
North Carolina negroes were as jurors
than New York white men. Judge
Russell knows who does the voting

Letter from X. SUI hur Springs 70 Louisville
Courie:- Journal,
The Pre- ident has not been blessed
by his Creator with avery pleasant eX-
preston. The Currency bill, Cres-
wells resignation, or something else,
private or pnblic, gave him a very
sour look. While at the White Sui
phrlr, no smile illumined his features,
and though your correspondent saw
him many times during the trip, he
never once looked other than very
cross. His head is very ronnd, lies
principally below his eyes, ;he stoops in
walking, and does not move with
either case or grace. When he at
tended Mrs. Grant to the magnifi ficent
dining-hall, it was done with nc mark
ed degree of politeness, and many an
awkward boy at his first party has ac-
quilted himself in attending mis- lady
love to the table with far more elegance.
1t is nothing but coniec ture-and given
strictly as such-but General Grant
did not seem pleased with the results
OF his visit. Nobody put themselves
ont to do him special honor, and the
President was bound to see that the
people did not care one iota whether
he was pleased or displeased. Gen.
Grant has long since forfeited all le-
gitimate claim to the respect and af-
fection OF the Southern people. The
Northern colleges may LII. d. him;
the people may clap their hands and
sing peans of praise, but down here it
takes something more than merely
being President to command the love
and regard of the people. In return
ing to Washington, he went, as he
came, i'll q special sleeping car, fur
nished by the Baltimore and Ohio r.
r. Co. The train stopped at Coving-
ton, Staunton and Charlottesville, and
although the people around the train
knew at each place that the President
was aboard, and although at each place
the President stood upon the platform
OF the car, no one became excited.
There was no throwing up of hats, and
even the colored friends did not, l.,
words or signs, show any appreciation
of the s'firSt citizen"
