NORTH CAROLINA'S DEBT.
A Poor outlook for the B0ndholders-
Only Forty, T~enty-five ana Fifteen
per Cent offered.
New York Tlmes.l


The joint select committee OF the North
Carolina Legislature on the State debt.
Ing of the debt; which, 1t is ex-
pected by persons on Wall street hav-
Ing private sources of information, will be
passed. Its principal points are as follows
The State Treasurer Is authorized TO issue
new thilty-year per cent bonds, dated July
/, 1880 to holders II old bonds In the following
ratio: For bonds issued before May 20, 1861,
40 per cent Of their face; for Western North
Carolina Railroad aid bonds of 1866 and 1867,
Chatham Railroad aid bonds of 1867, William
ston and Tarboro Railroad aid bonds of 1863
Western (Coalfeld) Railroad bonds of Octo-
Der, 1861, and registered certificates of the
library fund, 25 per cent of their face; for
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail-
road aid bonds of July 1, 1862, and for those is
sued In pursuance of the funding acts of
March 10. 1866, and August 90 1863 Is per
cent OF their face. The new bonds are to be
exempt from taxation and to be receivable for
taxes. To provide for the interest the bill
sets aside "all State taxes collected from pro-
fessions, trades. incomes, merchants, dealers
In cigars, or thr-e-fourthS OF ali taxes col
lected from wholesale and retail dealers in
SpirituOus, vinous and malt liquors." Should
the fund from these sources leave q surplus,
the latter is to be applied to the purchase and
cancellation Of as many new bonds as can be
obtained at the lowest price after thirty days
advertisement in at least two newspapers.
Should 1t be insufficient, the public treasurer
Is authorized to pay the deficiency out of any
funds in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated. Should both these resources prove
inadequate, provision is made for issuing
$500 per cent coupon bonds to run forty
years, but redeemabe after ten years. These
too, are to be exempt from taxation and re-
ceivable for taxes after maturity, and are to
be sold at par in such amounts as may be
necessary the aggregate output, however
not to exceed 600 bonds.

| deny. and all the oaths of all the men on
earth cannot make me believe, that rebel is
better than a loyal man. IApplause1 And
yet to-day there are thirty-six members OF the
House of Representatives In Washington, rep
resenting no constituency whatever in vio-
latiOn of law. To-day rebel soldier In South
Carolina casts a vote worth just two and q
half OF the votes of Union soldier In the
Union army to the close OF the war. Jap
plause,l The white population Is less than
the black by about that ratio. The black man
is as absolutely DISTINGUISHED as though he
were the resident of another sphere, and the
law says that where any class are disfran-
chised they shall not be represented on the
floor of Congress; and yet there they are. The
rebel who fought against the flag counts more
than two loyal men who fought for your flag
among our Michigan troops during the war OF
the rebellion. This state OF things ought not
to be, must not and shall not be. Applause. !

The voting for Gambetta was not serious
1t was done by few well intentioned idiots
who would make him candidate In spite OF
himself. The same may be said In regard to
the other unsuccessful names, with the ex-
ception Of .Chauzy whose ninety-nine votes
represented the good wishes of the Right,
and who Is believed to have been not alto
gether unprepared for the compliment.
Chanzy and Gambetta are at daggers drawn !;
they quarrelled during the war.
Nothing in MacMahon's presidential life
became him so well as his manner of quitting
1t. He took leave Of his Ministers with d g
nifty, and being Frenchmen they used the ma
tional privilege and shed tears without shame
all the more likely to be honest ones as they
had no unseemly violence to regret. Then,
wearing his civilian dress, he went to visit
the new President, temporarily installed for
the moment in his old official residence as
President Of the Chamber. MA fol )" he said
shaking him heartily by the hand, another
year Of 1t would have killed me- have come
to thank you for saving my feat the risk
OF your own.

HOW MACMAHON WENT OUT.


lParl5 Letter 10 N. I. Herald.1
! have never seen Paris 80 quiet at a time
Versailles where the different sections of the
| majority were carefully rehearsing every
scene OF the coming drama OF the transfer ol
power. Gambetta alone went beyond this In
preparation, and in order to be prepared Tor
every eventuality ne insisted on taking the
sense OF his party as to the course to be
adopted in each OF these three events: The
resignation OF the Marshal his refusal either
10 retire or to sign the DEGREES; his submis-
sion. La stating what course should be- taken
In the first event he formally proposed the
candldature of Grevy.
The rest may be briefly told. At 315 the
Senators and Deputies met In their respec-
tive halls In the ordinary way. The Marshals
letter OF resignation was read In each, by
Grevy himself Of course, as president OF the
Chamber, la the lower house. This was fol-
lowed by the reading OF the article OF the
constitution OrdainiDg that in the event OF o
vacancy In the Presidency Of the Republic,
the two legislative bodies should meet under
one roof to form national assembly or con-
greSS for the choice OF his successor. The
meeting was fixed at o'clock, and at that
hour, 80 precisely, the members of the two
houses TO the number OF nearly eight hum
dred trooped peli-mell into the hall of the
Chamber Of Deputies, which had been chosen
for the meeting place Of the congress. Grevy
was put through" with the utmost rapidity
consistent with the gravity of the affair.
1t was part OF the Republican programme
to have no debate, and consequently no
uprOar, and above all no delay. The con-
sttutional machine was put to its severest
test In elfecting a transfer of power, and IL
was necessary for the credit of It's makers to
have the work done quietly and well. The
members were accordingly about to proceed
when young member OF the Right, M. de
Sarlande dashed into the tribunal, but was
growled out In an instant. "To business; no
debate" He had barely left when another
gentleman OF the same persuasion, M. de
Gavardie, took his place. The noise was re-
doubled, but M de Gavardle stood firm, and
with folded arms, compressed lips and face
deadly pale, awaited the moment when he
could have his say. The President implored
him to state what he wanted. He replied that
he wished to know whether the question of
the acceptance of the Marshal's resignation
should not be formerly put to the vote. He
had his way In q sense, for the Assembly was
Obliged to give itself the trouble to vote that
1t would not vote. Then came the grand con-
stitutional act the choice Of a President Of
the Republic, each member as his name WAS
called mounting to the Presidents table to
put his voting paper in the urn. Grevy did
not vote. When Dufaure appeared he was
received with triple salvo Of plaudits. 1t
was full three hours before the result was
announced.

If is worthy of remark that the ''colored
troops fight nobly" in Africa. 1t seems to be
popularity Of the colored troops to struggle
with great ability, whether 10 the sacred
cause Of liberty or to simply help along the
