custom, the overseer's cruel lash
was ever hanging over his head, like
the sword of Damocles, suspended by
a single hair but more terri
bic still was the knowledge
away down, deep in his
nature, intruding its hOrrid front
even in his merriest moments, that
perhaps the morrow would ind MN
on the auctioneer's block, and sold
away from mother, wife, children,
friends, the old home and all that
life holds most dear. Then came
the war, and he was free. But,
Oh! what a miserable hooking of
freedom was his . For a time his
old task-masters were quiet, stun
ned, as if it were by the force CT
their own fall. Soon the old op-
preston began again; and, after
enjoying the first sip of liberty, the
cup was dashed forom his lips, and
broken, as it seemed, forever past
mending.
In election times, if he was
smart" the black man lived in
nightly fear of the band of masked
and cowardly assassins who were
prowling around the country.
Driven from the polls when he
would enjoy his new prerogative or
else his votes went for naught,
counted out, or the force broken by
the tissue ballots of the white man.
Compelled to pay rent of SO per
acre and often more when the land
could be bought for twice as much ;
compelled to go to the planter S
store house for the articles necessary
to sustain life, having to pay four
hundred per cent. more than they
originally cost, the end of eachyear
found not only the negro's crop all
gone but himself in debt. This is
why the exodus began.
Under such circumstances, and
even the most vivid picture of them
would be faint beside the original,
it is no wonder that he, maddened,
rushes like a wild creature away,
anywhere, so that he may be rid Of
the hated oppressor. A day of fear
full reckoning is coming for the
South. When their plantations are
devoid Of labor, when their fields
are untitled, when lands are going
to waste, then will Southern mer
see the fruits of their monstrOu'
inhumanity.

THE STATE DEBT PROP ITION

Yesterday, the committee appoint
ed by the convention of non-part!san
State Credit men, held at Nashville
recently, to wait upon the bondhold-
ers and lay before them the true
inwardness of the State debt ques-
ton, left for New York. They 60,
holding in their hands the contempt
ible proposition made by the last
Legislature, offering to compromise
at fifty cents on the dollar and four
per cent. interest. A disgracetul
thing is this offer, but, conceived
and brought forth in a body where
the Savages, and TOlleys, and Dri-
vers, and Andrewses, and such ras-
cally demagogues and political vag'
abonds and dead-beats were in the
majority, it is no wonder that the
offspring is deformed and misshapen'
They go, publishing to the world the
humiliating fact that the escutcheon
of the old Volunteer State which in
the past has been as pure as the snow
upon the topmOst point of our
mountain crags, kissed by heaven
own pure air, has upon it a foul,
black blotch, which no time can
wipe out. They 80 to make known
to our creditors that dishonesty has
crept into places where honesty
was wont to abide.
1t is unnecessary for the

daily newspaper in the State t
foretell the approaching danger Q
reputation, it has ever since BEEF
battling as bestit could, in the from
rank of State credit men. Tim
has shown how correct were it
prophecies. If the bondholders ar
not willing to accept this propositio
and prefer to go to the courts i
order to teach a lesson of honesty
then we say that they have a perfec
right so to do. The sixty and 81
was liberal offer and should haV
been accepted without moment
hesitation. If, however they ar
willing to accept the terms proffere
them by the Legislature, the CHRoN
ICLE will urge that the people sha
do what is honest and march to tn
polls and cast vote for honor.

THE STAMPEDE.

Just now, Democratic papers,
North and South, are engaged in
discussing the negro hegira. Know
ing the effect that it will have on
the vote next year, for which they
are straining every nerve, they are
all, from the little country patent
outside to the mammoth city daily,
endeavoring to make the people beS
lieve that the exodus is caused by
interested parties for political or
other such transparent reasons.
They surely have a very low estl-
mate of popular intelligence, when
they begin that programme. No
body except those who prefer to be
blinded will be misled by their state,
ments.
There is implanted in every mans
breast, be he high or be he low, a
principle which we see cropping out
on every page of the worlds history,
and that principle is: to re-
sist oppression. The timidest ami
NAL. the weakest insect in all the
creation will, when pushed into ,
corner, turn upon its assailant. L
is this principle which is at the bot
tom of the stampede.
The bulldozers-nO, the chtUalry
of the South have, by their acts
made the life of the poor negro 1
heavy burden. He has never had ;
fair chance in the South, and thi
no candid man can deny. 1t ha
always been his lot to suffer
endure and die. Before the war, il

SHOT DEAD IN HIS TRAoks,
charlotte Observer 25,h.l

]
A negro named Leach, brother Of
Peter Leach who was convicted of
murder al Lumberton last week, not
long ago escaped from Robesou coun
ty Jail Last Saturday tho sheriff of
the county heard that Leach was ia
the vicinity of Red Banks, and sent
deputy named Cole to arrest him
1t was known that the negro was a
desperate character and the sheriff
armed his deputy with sixteen
shooter rifle, captured from the fa-
nous Henry Berry Lowry of the out
law notoriety Cole went to Red
Banks and had no Difficulty in ascer
tanning the Whereabouts Of his man.
He was warned Of the danger of
making the arrest, bat being so well
armed he felt no uneasiness. The
negro was approached and the cepias
read to bin He heard it patiently
and then coolly remarked do you
suppose I'm going to allow such a
man as you to arrest the 2" Almost
before he finished the sentence he
drew pistol and shot Cole dead in
bis tracks, the ball passing through
the skull. Not satisfied with this,
he stepped on the PROSTATE body Of
the man and fired another shot into
his breast. lie then coolly walked
away. Our information is that the
terrible tragedy was enacted in the
presence of three or four other men,
and no attempt was made to arrest
Leach. As he went away he still
held the weapon in his hand, and no
one dared approach him.
Leach belongs to that desperate
class Of half breed, that have been
such terror to the people Of that
section in the past years. Our ia
formant was unable to learn the ma
ture Of the oifonse for which he was
held ia jail when he made bis escape.
The body of young Cole was taken
from Red Banks to Rockingham,
whore he has relatives, for interment.
Our Information is that he was not a
regular deputy, bat was selected by
the sheriff to make this arrest on &C
count Of his personal courage and
daring.
