A REASON roR THE PATH

withinme have shown you the position
of the Republican party. Now the Demo-
cratic party up to the yesr 1873 by all its
platforms pledged itself 10 the maintenance
of the State credit, and recommended TO the
Democratic governors the funding of the
debt. There was not word of repudiation
until within the last few years. My honored
Democratic predecessors recommended the
enforcement OF State credit. If there is any
body here who is a Greenbacker, if there are
any Democrats here, If there be man here
who Is slave of party, who has collar
a spike in his nose, and who Is led around al
another mans behest, let him be; he is we'd

Last night the High-tax Republicans held
a meeting on the bluff for the purpose of c.
menting, If possible, the discordsnt elements
of the Republican party. To this end thst
pious old gossip, Governor ALVIN Hawkins,
was called upon, and he appeared upon the
scene of battle promptly last night, and
made FIRST class cornfield Grafton. There
was undoubtedly large crowd present.
About a hundred simple darkies were
grouped Immediately around the platform in
the attitude Of sinners ready TO catch the
dHppings from the sanctuary. The next layer
of The governors audience was composed of
curious people, mostly Democrats, who
wanted to see and hear the governor of the
State. The outer layer must have been al
most entirely noD-Republicans, as it made
no sign of appreciation. The speaker was
frequently interrupted with applause for
Bate. Our governor has certain
"GRAND-DADDY" STYLE
about him that catches the negro nearly ev-
cry time. Being very incoherent speaker,
he can readily, jump from one subject to
another, and he appears at his best when
taking up an idea from the crowd His uttsr
want of dignity and cheapness of wit, how
ever, can hardly qualify him for the
terrain the simple, he will hardly make fol-
lowers of the intelligent. The most remark
able thing about the governors speech was
his assertion that, if necessary, this land
would be drenched in blood again to secure
free votes and an honest count. According
to the Law of most countries, the authorities
can only take mans life for heinous muir
der or certain kind of rape; and yet Gov
ernor Hawkins would have
BLOOD SPILLED
because a negro is kept from the polls or an
election officer is dishonest. A more unworthy
and discreditable utterance is uncomfortable.
1t is alike opposed to law and opposed to
morals, and were a Democrat to give utter
ance to such an assertion as that the Repub-
lican press all over the country would be
the iniquity of it,
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Carter Harris, chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee, who introduced the
speaker Of the evening. Governor Hawkins.
The governor spoke substantially as follows:

IA DEVIL OF A STORY.

II there is any intelligent Democrat here
who will tell me the leading feature in the
platform OF his party, will cheerfully lis
ten to him. / see no one will attempt it.
am reminded of adream a preacher had the
other night and which he told me of. He
was going along rocky mountain path
wide enough for only one man, when he met
the devil. Neither would yield. The devil
finally agreed to give in if the preacher
could propose one of three questions 10 him
which ne could not answer. Seeing no other
way out of it, he said: "What is whittier
than wool?D "Suow." The devil had him
there, SO he propounded another question
what is sweeter than sugar?" "Honey."
Again he was answered, and be only had
one more chance. His last question was:
"What is the leading feature in the Read
juster platform adopted at Nashvillef' The
devil threw up his wings, gave it up, and
allowed the preacher to pass on. / knew
no good Democrat could answer
me. They say they will scratch the
platform and vote for the candidate, and
yet this comes from the party that has
always been proclaiming principles, not
men," Now they are giving up their prin-
ciples and indorsiug men. Does not the
face of every Democrat of Tennessee m antle
with shame at the thought that he has a
collar around his neck or a spike in his
nose?
When / ran for governor before my oppo-
nent, Judge Wright, and both made
speeches right from this place. Judge
Wright, who was for funding and not re-
pudiation, and who favored accepting any
proposition made by the creditors, was intro
duceI by Colonel Josiah Patterson, who, in
presenting him, said he would introduce q
son of Tennessee who bore shield, upon
one side of which was inscribed Justice
and public credit" and ON theother 81 ustice
10 the people," When he came to me he
said l was one upon whose shield was in
scribed the motto, "Pay what thou owest."
Where is Colonel Patterson now?

The Democrats had possession of the State
for years, but they allowed its credit to go
down. Their principle is TO scratch, repudi-
ate their platform. Men who can repudiate
a debt can more easily repudiate platform.
It is anything 10 beat Hawkins.

that the colored man was by birth and in

but he is Republican. You can give him

You can whitewash him, but he is still a
negro. The colored people are true to their
friends. They are not ungrateful, and
know that they will not forget the banner
which led them from slavery, that opened
the schools to their children and placed the
ballot in their hands, We intend to see that
elections are free and counts fair. The Re-
publican party has sworn it; and as blood
has already been shed to secure urfreedom,
If need be to secure this grand principle, the
land will be drenched in blood again.
This sentiment was received with thunders
of applause, and the governor was warmly
congratulated by the Republicans for his
speech. and more especially for itssangninary
termination. A celored individual named
Porter, in a very baritone voice, tried TO
speak, bat the crowd wouldn't have it.
There was hardly a single allusion to the

PLANS TO BRING NORTH CAR0LINA'S CAPT..

PLANS TO BRING NORTH CAR0LINA'S CAPITAL
NEARER TO WASHINGTON AND RICHMOND.
RALEIGH, n. c., May 14.-The people Of
this city are somewhat excited oyer the an
nouncement that a railroad is soon to be
constructed from Keysville or Danvillc, on
the Richmond and Danville railroad, to
this place. A survey has Just been made
from Keysyille. and another route is TO be
surveyed from Danville to Raleigh. As well
as can be ascertained, there are two pro-
jects under consideration-One is direct
line from this city to Richmond, Va, by
Keysyile the other is direct line from
Raleigh to Danyille, and thence on North
over the Virginia Midland railroad to Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
York. The latter line would cut off the
elbow now existing in the Richmond and
Danyile line from here North by way Of
Greensboro, and thence back North to
Danyille. 1t would shorten the time from
Raleigh to New York at least eight hours,
and would greatly facilitate and quick
en- the enormous freight traffic that
passes through and stops ut Raleigh.
| The country from here 10 Danyille
is such that railroad can be con-
structed for much less than the average
cost. When the war broke out there was
a railroad in operation from Keysvile to
GAINESVILLE, and the grading was all done
from GAINESVILLE 10 the Raleigh and CASTOR
railroad, near Warren Plains. From KEYS
Vile by this route would be due easterly
course TO the Raleigh and CASTOR railroad:
the route thence TO Raleigh would then be
parallel with the Raleigh and CASTOR road.
The iron from Keysyile to GAINESVILLE was
taken up during the war, and was used on
other roads. The object to be effected bv
building a road from here to Keysyille Is
not observable 10 the ordinary citizen.
though II may be plain to railroad officers.
The object and gain TO be attained by build
ing railroad from here TO Danyille is yisi-
BILE to every eye. There is enough freight
received at this place 10 justify the build
ing OF this road TO Danville in order 10
piece out and make complete the through
line from here 10 New York. The passen-
ger traffic never will be much OF an object.
because Raleigh Is situated between the
two through lines, and, so to speak, Is on a
side-track, switched off TO herself. Reason
supports the belief that the new road will
be built from here To Danvile.
The Richmond and Danyille Company l.
continually on the lookout for feeders 10
their main line. An airline road from
here to Danyille would be paying invest
ment from the beginning. Passenger fare
and freight rates could be reduced from
New York to Raleigh SO as TO command the |
great majority Of the travel and the much
greater majority OF freight, because the
distance would he less aud the time much
shorter. Whenever the announcement Is
made that the route from here TO Danyille
las been determined upon. very liberal
