STATE CREDIT DEMOCRATS.

OF d u CAhDIL DEMOChd1 10.
A large meeting of De Iocrats
was held in the capitol Thursday
last, which was called to order by
John w. Childress, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
and presided over by Gen. w. III.
Jackson, of Davidson. Resolutions
were adopted accepting the GO-3-4-
Sc bill as final settlement of the
st, tie debt. A convention of State
credit Democrats was called to meet
July 18th, when a plan of action
will be decided upon.
This meeting was attended by
number of the most distinguished
influential men in the State.
We accord to them the utmost
honesty and sincerity of purpo e,
and, as we have time and again
stated, their views on the vexed
question of the State debt meet our
approval. But we sincerely trust
that after calm reflection some course
may be found by the gentlemen
which can be hOnorably pursued by
them and still the misfortune and
disaster of two years ago be avoided.

To the Editor OF The MorristoWn Gazstte.F
Our old town has b Tn afflicted with
another overflow. On Thursday last,
we heard thunder and a rushing
roaring sound as of the rolling of trains
of cars. and water began to fall in more
than torrents; seemingly a-cloud burst
ed and the waters fell out all at once,
and the lower part of the town was
flooded with the angry, surging waves,
bursting open doors and carrying every
thing before or along with them except
the buildings. Wheat shocks, rails,
bridges, woodpiles and things generally
moved along with the force of water,
and moved at once, mot whiting on the
order of their going" Damage was
done to mOwn hay, wheat. oats, and the
corn by being suddenly oyerfowed.
Heavy rains preva's nearly every day;
indeed, do not remember a day that
moro or less rain has not fallen, where
have been the past two week, and / have
indeed travelled me-" On Wedne
day, was eight miles out towards Fall
Branch, and the rain came and suddenly
swelled the streams so that l had TO
travel oyer several lengths of fence be-
fore L could cross them. On Friday
night was seven miles out in the oppo-
site direction, on Boone creek, and a
big rain overlook me. Yesterday we
had shower, as well az on Saturday
Rams have been abundant and the
cold has prevailed all the spring and
well up into this month, yet We had
ripened peaches here (the AmsdeI) n
the 18th instant as against the 9Th of
June last year. Vegetation is well
along, and we are luxuria:ing on
peaches, ripe June apples, berries, irish
potatoes, the best of tenter beets, beans,
peas, &c. Indeed, maugre all the cold,
and the crOaking of complaining gen.
Grafton, we have an abundance, and to
spare, for our land is flowing with
"milk and honey" and all other good
things, for which we ought to be pro-
foundly thankful to "the Giver of every
good and perfect gift"
Will. Stuart, a popular young man
who is engaged in the milliGery and
fancy goods business with one Nc
Pherson, here, lately took sick and was
taken out to his fathers, four miles from
town. AS he grow worse and worse till
he was pronounced by his physicians in
a critical condition his case was watch.
cd with great anxiety by the whole
community. Saturday night he was
better, and it is now hoped that he may
recover. .z
Joseph Cowan suddenly made his adj
vent into our town yesterday morning.
from near San Antonio, Texas. He is a
grandson of G. W. Telford, who gave
the name to Telford's Depot, and was
born about six miles from town. He
has been in Texas some 10 months,
during much of which time he has bee n
afflicted with feeble health. He met
with a cordial greeting from his &C.
quaintances and old associates here.

tons of the Line Sar State" He says
that the crops have been gathered
Much rain prevailed in the earlier part
of the season, but for six weeks there
had been no rain where he was. How
ever, the soil there will endure severe
droughts without suffering for rain as
much as other parts of the country do

We reassert our opposition to the re-

declare that the Reputation of either

Opposition TO the recent settlement of
the State debt at go per cent with 3, 4,

Of the alleged Indebtedness of the State
as is known as the Estate debt proper,
less war interest and that pending the
litigation of the bOndhOldcrs against
the railroad companies, in which the
owners and holders of the bonds known
as the railroad debt, are claiming the
right to collect said bonds off OF the
real debtors who received the real
benefit thereof, viz: The SAID railroad
companies, defendants in said suits, we
are opposed TO assuming, and interpOs-

til after the termination of said suits,
when We will consider the equities

That we favor the submission of any

We favor the adoption of such a sys-
tenn of taxation of railroads as will force
them to pay their just portion of the
taxes of the State and the enactment of
such laws as will prevent unjust dis
criminatson in favor of through and
against local freights.
