The ssebts OF the World.

We endeavored nearly two years
TO give In these columbus an approx
mate estimate of the national debts of
the world. We concluded on that
occasion that the Indebtedness of the
world might be placed at about e4.
200, 100000. sDuring the two years
which have since passed there is good
reason to believe that large addition
has been made to this sum. New
countries aud old countries vie with
each other in the money markets OF
Europe, and even China has within
the last few week. commenced ma
tional debt. There is considerable
difficulty in ascertaining the liabilities
of the various nations which are thus
heavily indebted. The annual alma
macs give rs some assistance III the
subject; and the careful information
| which the Economist publ in the
s.Investor's Manual" affords also con-
siderable help in solving the question.
The following are the best estimates
we can form of the principal nat.ona
debts at the present time. We have
contrasted them with the figures which
| we gave two years ago

When Mr.. Johnson was elected to
represent the State of Tennessee IN the
Federal Senate we did not deem it
necessary to express any opinion upon
the subject. In fact we always feel
some delicacy Gin speaking except il
terms of commentator Of the internal
affairs OF our sister States. Questions
of internal domestic policy, it seems
to us, ought rather 10 be left to the
discussion and decision Of the people
to which they pertain. But the posi-
tion Mr.. Johnson ROW occupies and
the use he seems disposed TO make Of
it will affect us no less directly than the
people Of Tennessee, and most mi
ously we fear We have never expect
ed any good result from his return to
the scene of his former labors, and IN
less we greatly mistake the signs Of the
times our worst fears are about to be
realized. Werefer especially to the fact
that Mr.. johnson has refused to take
position as q Democratic member of
the Senate, or to attend the caucus of
Our party in that body. We refer, al
so, TO his declaration to newspaper in
reviewers, that he belongs to no party,
and his further declarations, denunci-
tory of the Southern portion OF the
national Democratic party. That he
will consent to work in harmony with
tie Democrat Senators is hardly TO be
hoped for, but if Andrew johnson in
tends to put himself up as a leader
for Democrats from any section to fol-
low blindly, we sincerely trust he will
find himself powerless to accomplish
his purpose. We see little prospect,
then, that his return to the seat he
formerly occupied viii result in any
good to the people of the land of his
birth. Nor have they any assurance that
they have the first place ID his aft C
tons. He once abandoned the land of
his birth and the friends Of his youth
ard manhood and united with their
foes. Ii these ties did not bind him
then to US, can any ties bind him
now to any thing, to any body, to any
party, or to any country?
Mr.. Johnson will, doubtless, be a
thorn III the side of the Radical party,
hut we very much fear he viii be no
lie ss thorn in our own side.

THE GOIDSEsOssO MESSENGER
AND THE CONVENTION CUES
TsnN


The Messenger is now earnest and
Jealous in its support of the bill to
call Convention. It says:
The Messenger opposed the call of a
Convention solely on the ground of
''expediency," but yielded all opposi-
ton when the State Executive Com
mittee in January last decided that
there was no foundation for the fear
of the "inexpediency." The question
now presents itself as a party meas
ure, only one Republican Senator hav-
ing voted for it, and as q party mea, =
ure it should now command the undi-
yided support OF every Democrat or
Conservative. The people, tha' is o
decided majority, so far as we can
Judge, desire a Convention, and the
Messenger has long considered it a
necessity. But knowing that hasty,
inconsiderate legislation is generally
productive of harm, and considering
the state of affairs at Washington, We
opposed Convention at the present
time more in a precautionary man
ner, than to Indicate any opposition to
the measure. We were at no time
stubborn in the matter,-willing to
abide by the decision of our friends in
the General Assembly; and the MAORI
ty having declared for Convention, we
now cheerfully buckle on our armor
to do battle with our friends, and will
remit no exertion to insure it's success.
We take it for granted that the
House will pass the bill by the requi-
site two-thirds vote, and it will then
be left with the people to say whether
they will have Democratic or Rad
ical Convention. The question of
Convention" or "No Convention" is
noS at all submitted to the people.
Under the Constitution the Ger eral
Assembly may call a Convention, a
two-thiids vote concurring. Let rs
estimate this important question at it's
proper value. If the restrictions pro-
vided for in the bill are scrutinized, it
viii be observed that the Convention
will be p0werless for harm to interests
that were thought to be imperiled and
we entertain not the slightest doubt
that these restrictions will be respected
by the Convention delegates, whether
the General Assembly has the right to
prescribe such restrictions or not, on
which point many of our best legal
talents differ.
Then let the wheel be putin motion,
and let every good man now resolve to
put his strong shoulder to the wheel.
Be this the work of every man who
loves North Carolina and its people.
and who deprecates the vil.ainous
constitution, the odious laws, the
onerous taxes, and in many counties,
the ignorant and corrupt officials radi-
calism has imposed upon US.

A letter descriptive of the Hayden
expeditions explorations in South
western Colorado tells the following
Aside from the interest attaching to
the ruins themselves, there are thrown
about this rock and it's surroundings
the romance and charm of legendary
association. The story runs thus, a.
given us by our guide Formerly the
aborigines inhabited all ibis country
we had been over as far west as the
headwaters of the San Juan, as far
north as the Rio Dolores, west some
distance into Utah, aud sonth and
southwest throughout Arizona aud
down into Mexico.
They had lived there from time i'm
memo, ial-since the earth was small
island, which argume nted as its inhab-
itants multi piled. They cultivated
the valley: fashioned whatever uten-
sils they needed very neatly aud
handsomely out of clay and wood and
stone, not knowing any of the useful
metals; built their homes and kept
their fiocks and herds in the fertile
river bottoms, and worshipped the
sun. They were al eminentiy peace
full and prosperous Peep e, living by
GhS CudSG.
About a thousand years ago, how
ever, they were visited by savage
strangers from the North. whom they
treated hos pitably. Soon these visits
became more frequ' Mt and annoying.

they built houses high upon the cliff,
where they could store food and hide
away till the traders left.
But one summer the invaders did
not 90 back to their mountains as the
people expe cted, but brought their
families with them and settled down
So, driven from their homes and lands,
starving in their little inches On the
high cliffs, they could only steal away
during the night and wander across
the cherries uplands, To one who
has travelled these steppes such fight
seems terrible, and the mind hesitates
to picture.
At the cristone they halted, and pro-
badly found friends, for the rocks ani
caves are full of the nests of these hui
man wrens and swallows. Here they
collected. erected stone Notifications
and watch towers, dug rese, voirs in
the rocks to hold supply of water,
which in all cases is precarious in this
latitude, and once more stood at bay.
Their foes came, and for one long
month fought aud were beaten back
and IT turned day after day TO the at

tide.
