How North Carolina Settled Her
Debt.
Upton County ReoOrd.I

4lplOn county Record
AS we said months ago in discuss
ing this State debt question. the Dem
ocratlc party must make the settle
ment, if any is ever made that duiets
the apprehensiOns of the people. No
Republican administration can do this
job, nor can any small Democratic
faction with the assistance of Repub-
lican votes ever hope to effect a settle
ment. If the Democratic party can
not unite upon some plan of settle
ment and carry it through with or
without Republican votes, the oues-
ton will not be settled for years to
come. Is the Democratic party equal
to the emergency We shall see.
We insist upon it that North Caro-
lima managed her State debt better
than any Of the Southern States. The
Legislature Of that State passed a law
that the holders of the State obliga
lions might receive new bonds for old
ones at certain reduced scales, accord
ing to the character of the bond, some
at 70 per cent, some at 80, some as low
as 10. The Treasurer was authorized!
to issue the new bonds according to
law, and a special tax was levied to-
pay the interest on the new bonds,
Not a word was said to the bond
holders about it; no provision wa
made for the payment of interest Q n
any except upon the fund ed
bonds, but no portion Of the og-
nized debt was repudiated, and q ere
was nj intimation as to what wo,rl d he
done with the bonds never offered for
compromise. The holders werie left
perfectly free to come in or stay ont
as they elected. There's no use CON.
sulting with bondholders about what
they are willing to take. They are NOT
willing to take less than 100 cents ON
the dollar, with 6 per cent interest. II:
they offer to take less, the offer is mad.

Some days since Town Marshal Ba.
ker, of Oakland, Miss, passed through
the city en- route to LAGRANGE, Ark,
for a negro named Jordan Trellis,
wanted for mule stealing. Baker re-
turned this morning with his man in
charge, but wal so drunk that the
officers had to lock him up for safe
keeping. He had partially sobered
up at noon and left the stationhouse.
Meanwhile his prisoner languishes in
a cell without any attention except
that g~ratuitously bestowed by the
prison keepers. Baker shot him in the
left arm Sunday at LaGrange, the ball
entering near the elbow and escaping
on ton Of the wrist. All the bones
from the elbow t. the wrist are shat
tered, and the mans sufferings are
intense. He states that he was hand
euffed when shot, and not more than
fifteen feet from Baker.

Better Than Those Who Talk About

The New York Herald took pain >
some time ago to publish a very dirty
and bitter article on Nevada. We
were accused OF every crime known,
and It was asserted that our public
men were always for sale to whoever
would bid the highest. OF course the
Herald never expected to hear any
thing further on the subject, but 1
stirred up the ire of n Of Cherry
Creeks citizens who formerly lived in
Gotham aud knew thing or two about
the way things were done there. This
gentleman writes a letter to the Eu-
reka Sentinel that speaks right out in
mutiny. He says that all Mr.. Beecher
said about the RIGHTEOUSNESS that ex-
lists around the Brooklyn schools i
absolutely true, though Beecher did
take it back, aud gives such a picture
of the beastly r~otteness Of New York
politicians as TO make a decent man
thankful that he lives in Nevada.
When the Herald man reads that let
ter, he will probably understand that
il is a little dangerous to stir. up the
Nevada wild animals. THE fact is we
are no better and no worse than the
majority of the country, but in one
thing WI are infinitely ahead Of many
others-we are not hypocrites, what
we do we do openly and above board.
We don't go up nine flights of stairs
and through fifteen doors to buck the
tiger but walk into an open room and
put up our cash. that is, all who want
to. The result is, every gambler is
known and takes his place in the social
scale accordingly. We are not near
as good as we ought to be- we have
more bad men and bad women among
us than We ought, but they are known
to everybody. When it comes TO
comparing New York city with US.
we are a thousand miles ahead in all
worldliness.

$50 grains, / 900 fine. Ii coins ms
silver at $685. grains 900 fine o the
dollar, in half dollars, quarter dollars
and dimes, and wnen any III these
CONS become mutilated or otherwise
uneurrent, it buys them back at the
rate of every ounce OF 4o0 OF standard
fineness. Il will thus be e thai the
Government makes large profits at
both ends OF the bargain. without
going into minute calculation, II may
be stated that "a ounces OF silver
1000 fine Will make $40 IN hall dol
lars 900 fine. The Government pays
IS 90 for this "a ounces OF fine silver,
and pays it out to the people for $40.
These half dollars contain about 3
ounces of silver of standard ~fineness.
So that $40 is made when the half dol
lars are PAL out, and 81 when they
are purchased back at the rate author-
lied by the Mint.
