An Opinion From GuilfOrd.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.l
GREENSBORO, N. c., April 12, 1856
There is great division of opinion as to who
is the right man to nominate for Governor
among our people, at this time, since the
withdrawal of Judge Clark, and the an
nouDcement that ex-GOv. Jarvis was not
a candidate.
OF course Guilford is solid for Gilmer,
if he is before the convention, but outside
of our countyman, there is great division
of sentiment. Some are for Fowle, and
he seems to be gaining ground here and
elsewhere lately; many are for Jarvis still
and think he is the surest man to be elect
ed that We can put out.
Col. Thomas NJ. Holt has many warm
friends here IN our county who would like
to see him Governor, and for one think
he would make as good Governor as any
one that has been named in that cOnnec-
ton, and believe that he deserves it MORE
than any one that has been mentioned in
view OF his valuable service to the State AZ
legislator, as farmer, as a manufac-
turer, and as the friend and redeemer Of
the Agricultural Society of North Carroll
private virtues, and noble traits of charac-
ter which know him to possess.
But there is one thing that l believe our
people are unit on: They are as solid
as the rocks of Gibraltar for Judge Shep-
herd for the Supreme Court, and regard
him, to use Bible expression, as "a great
rock in weary land" and we feel sure
that he will be one of the nominees for
the Supreme Court, and that he will be
elected, and that he will be an ornament
to that high position, and that he will, in
that position, add additional lustre to the
already MONDAY splendor of the North
Carolina judiciary.

The Sort Shelby Wants.
from Shelby New Era. |

One thing would be true of the admin
istration of Gov. Stedman, if Governor he
should be, that we shall all be glad of,
and that is that he would be Governor of
the whole State. A citizen of the largest
city in the commonwealth, what may be
called his local views are as broad as any
that are peculiarly North Carolinian; but
he has probably travelled more extensively
in North Carolina than any other man in
the State and is intimately acquainted with
every part of it. In the Piedmont section
we know that he is peculiarly interested,
and in no county more than Cleveland; !;
where he has spent portions of many sum
mers. But his sympathies and knowledge
are both broad and deep, and he realizes
the needs of every portion Of the Sta'e.
By birth, education and association, a
son of the old North State, Major Stedman,
while never ceasing to be a true North
Carolnian, has broadened his views by
both study and travel. A student from
early youth, he is also thorough man of
the world, and he has added to the lessons
learned from books those that can be ac-
quired only among many men and in
varied climes Few men are so we'll fitted
by both study and observation to grapple
with the problems of to-day, especially
with the material development of this
great commonwealth, d pFdCtlCdl realm Ill
which wide knowledge of modern meth
DDS and conditions, of the experience of
many men and many nations is so essential.
Major Stedman is a practical statesman
His political principles are those of Jeffer-
son and Jackson, those with which the
Democratic party so thoroughly sympai b.
ICES. He is not Bourbon, as the. term is
sometimes used, but looks to practical re-
suits, to conducting the business of the
State upon business principles, to develop
ing the resources of the State as a prudent
man would develop his own.
He is, as we have said, a thorough Dem
ocrat. He IS more than this. He is thor
oughly North Carolina Democrat and is
entirely in line with the North Carolina
Democracy. He is easily approached by
| the humblest in the land; and no man
| ever was less of Demagogue. In fact
| if he has fault, it is that he was too close
to the opposite line.
And this, we think, is the sort of mar
| that we want for Governor of North Caro-
| lima, one who knows the whole State anC
| all its wants, and who has learned the les
sons that other lands and other men car
teach, one who knows North Carolina a:
she is and sympathises with her, and see'
what she may become, one who is states
man and not theorist, man of the peo
Pile and for the people, but not Dema
gogue. Such man is Lieut.. Gov. Stedman

Don't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in dan
ger. Consumption always seems, at first,
only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to
impose upon you with some cheap imita-
ton of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds, but be sure
you get the genuine. Because he can
make more profit, he may tell you he has
something just as good, or just the same.
Don't be deceived, but insist upon getting
Dr. Kings New Discovery, which is guar
anteed to give relief in all Throat, Lung
and Chest affections. Trial bottles free at

Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by

Mr.. D. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,

positively believes he would have died,
had it not been for Electric Bitters.

An editor works 365 days getting out

Once in a while somebody pays him for a

once in a while some son-of gun of a

two and then without paying for 1t orders
the postmaster to send it back, or skips
the country; that is anarchy. But justice
later on will overtake the last mentioned

IL Ism the thing you do, dear,
~ the thing vou leave uuGune.
W men gives Aou IA bit of u heartache
Al the setting OF the sun
Inc tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write.
Inc hover you might have sent dear
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way,
The bit of heart some counsel
You were hurried too much to saw.
The loving touch of the hand, dear.
The gentle and Winsome tone,
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts OF kindness,
so easily out OF mind
These chances to be angels.
Which even mOrtals find
They come in night and silence,
Each chill reproachful wrath,
w hen hope is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short. dear,
And sorrow is all too great;
For all our slow compassion,
hat tarries until too late
And it's not the thing yon do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache

Mai. Stedman for Governor.
From Wilson Advanced

From Wilson Advance.
The letters of Jarvis and Clark leave the
contest virtually between >tedman and
Fowle. One or tt other of these gentle
men, we believe, will be nominated as the
standard bearer of the Democratic party
in the approaching campaign. The ques
ton, which shall it be? presents itself to
every Democrat. We are for the strongest
man, whoever he may be. The man who
can and will thoroughly organize North
Carolina, it apI ears to US is the strongest
man.
We would not say one word in disparage-
ment of Judge Fowle. He is good speak
er and has a strong hold upon the affec-
tions of the people of many sections of the
State.
Maj. Stedman, it appears to US, combines
as many-if not more-elements of
mentioned. He has labored to gain and
maintain Democratic government in North
Carolina with zeal greater than which no
Democrat has exhibited. He has unstint-
ingly spent his time and his money when
ever the party needed either. He is an
aggressive, effective campaigner-pOssess
an amount Of personal magnetism that
few men are blessed with. Besides all
these elements of strength, he is in the
line of promotion. He was nominated
Lieutenant Governor and made vigor-
GUS and brilliant canvass of the State. He
made splendid presiding officer and it is
but just and right that he should be pro
noted to the Gubernatoral chair his fit
ness for which is everywhere conceded.
We do not believe the party can do bet
ter than to nominate Maj. Chas. NJ. Sted-
man for Governor.

These are all Southern States. Ken
lucky is left out for want of satisfactory
statistics at command.
Of these States North Carolina expends
less money for schools PER CAPITA on her
whole population than any others except
South Carolina and Georgia, and only
about one half as much as Virginia or Ar
Kansas
The column of expenditures per capita
of total population" affords very fair
comparative view of what we are doing in
public school matters, and in the compari-
son We are put in no favorable light.
When We consider carefully the column
of Total assessed value of property and
calculate the rate of taxation necessary to
raise the total amounts expended in the
different States we find our rate would be
less than that Of any of the States named
except South Carolina and Georgia
If all the expenditures were raised from
TAX ON PROPERTY the rate would be 80
cents on 800 in Maryland; 33 cents in
North Carolina; 2S cents in South Caro-
lima; 46 cents in Tennessee; 43 cents in
Virginia; 21 cents in Georgia; A cents in
Alabama; so cents in Missssippi; 66 cents
in Arkansas; 50 cents in West Virginia;
A cents in Florida, and SO cents in Miss
ouri.
II II De SAID tlaU some OF IQeSo states
have permanent State funds the interest
of which goes to the support of the schools,
it will be found upon examination that
this is really a very small item compare
lively, and that ANNUAL TAXATION in all
these States, as we'll as in all the Northern
States is mainly relied upon to support
the schools.
l have not selected year that would
make the worst showing for our State.
Looking back for about four years find
that much the same proportions existed
and that the year l have selected shows us
in as favorable light as any other.
According to the assessed valuation of
our property we are far from doing as
much for public education as most of our
sister Southern States. This Is apparent
not only from the proportionally smaller
amount of money expended, but by the
short annual school terms, Virginia having
118 days, Alabama SO days, Mississippi IS
days, Tennessee so days, Arkansas 102
days, while we have only so days.
These figures seem to show not only that
we are far behind but also that We are
able to do better.
The total expenditure in the States above
named was $17 1888, 1855. In all the States
of the Union the expenditure was SILL

There are 450, 900 troops in Russian Po-
