Since the above was put in type the
Executive Committee has met and
nominated Mr.. Mewborne, as will be
seen below. So now he stands before us
the regularly nominated and accredit-
ed standard bearer of the Democracy,
and there should I've a general rallying
all along the line to his support. From
the Raleigh State Chronicle, we take
the following:
WILSON, N. C.. Oct. 27,-Nine
counties were represented here to-day
at the meeting Of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the Second
District.
]. M. Mewborne, Esq, of Lenoir,
was nominated for Congress.
Y. 7. ORMAND, Chm'n
The Chronicle is glad to note the
action of the committee. There is a
fighting chance to carry the Second
District. Mr.. Mewborne is endorsed
BY the Executive Committee Of his
county and district and is member
Of the Executive Committee of the
State Alliance He thus bears the
credentials that entitle him to the
confidence Of every voter in the Second
District. Let every Democra: in the
Second District bestir himself to Sc
cure the election Of Mr.. Mewborne
He is entitled to their support, and
bears the credentials of their party.
By an earnest and an altogether
effort he can be elected. lie, there be
earnest work. and though the time is
short, he may be elected.

productive would be worse than folly.
The Judge properly argues that these
names should be expunged from the lists
That is the whole argument. 1t is a
simple business proposition not to count
an asset that is unproductive.
If this works a disadvantage TO the
poll taxable the fault is bis for not pay
ing his tax within the nine months
during which it was advertised against
him.
1t is his fault for being dead, removed,
too ignorant, too poor, or too defiant to
contribute very small sum to the main
tenance of the government which pro-
tects him and his family. he certainly
cannot insolently demand that he shall
be accorded the privileges of good
citizen when he is bad, defiant and UNI
productive citizen, No man may defy
the state and refuse to perform the
duties required and then demand the
privileges which belong to those only
who do the duties.

PRODUCTIVE OR uNPRoDuoTwg.

PRODUCTIVE OR UNPRoDucTNE.
We are amazed at the ingenuity and
the holiness of the opinion delivered by
Judge Grub in the Court Of Errors and
Appeals last Friday in the matter Of the
constitutionality of the assessment and
collection laws of 1878. he meets in form
almost every question raised in that
matter, and constructs or evolves an
elaborate and subtle intention on the
part Of the Legislature, in devising and
enacting the laws in question, which is
as ingenious as It Is novel, Morning
News.
Granting that one has the ability to
comprehend legal proposition, there is
nothing difficult in the argument Of
Judge Grub. It is simply a matter Of
receptivity. II one will not understand,
he will not, and that's an end Of 1t.
But the argument Of the learned Judge
is plain, terse and logical
His proposition is that the raising Of
the revenue is the supreme function Of
the Legislature, and that the constitution
has conferred upon the Legislature full
and ample power to perform that function.
That it is a paramount duty, and pro
visions for that purpose take precedence
Of all other provisions.
Then the learned Judge contends that
there are two classes Of poll-taxables,
productive and unproductive. In making
estimates for the yearly budget the
officers consider these two items and fix
a rate of taxation in accordance with the
facts.
II there are on the list 5000 or 10, 600
names of men who have proved unproit
able taxables, either because they arr
dead, removed or defiant and law proof
it is clearly the duty of the officers t,
! drop them from the list. 1t would be use
! less, If not absurd, to continue to esti-
mate those persons as productive.
If an assessment were made on tina
D principle it would be unjust to thos,
' persons who are productive, it wouls
prove either too much OF too little I,
meet expenses, it would be unbusiness-
q like and unscientifc.
= 1t is useless and wrong for the Lev,
c Court to count an asset which does no
b exist, for that would cause deficit an,

THE negro problem must be solved
with the negro here. He is here as the
living witness of the crime of the fathers
OF those who would now exterminate
him, and those who can look at the mat
ter dispassionately can see nothing but
retributive justice in the situation; and
massacres like those ia Barnwell are not
likely TO change either sentiment or the
condition of affairs --Kennett Advance.
The proposition TO deport is not propo-
sition to exterminate the negro There
is no passion In the offer to allow him the
privilege Of returning as a missionary Of
civilization and Christianity TO his own
people and his own country, from which
he came a slave, a barbarian, cannibal.
Though slave, he has become civilized
and Christianized by association with
superior race of people. He never could
have attained his present state by his
own efforts. All attempts to civilize the
Indians, a superior race. during the same
period have failed to produce as good re-
suits as slavery has produced ON an In
ferior race Slavery was by no
means an unmIxed evil. The negro
is better than he could have been
had he spent the same period in any other
conceivable position But slavery Is gone
and we have new evil in the race prob.
lem to deal with. This Is not time for
explosives and recrimination. The South
held the slave, but the North and the
Supreme Court sanctioned slavery. They
we're equally guilty, but granting even
that they were not, what is the use in
lighting over the corpse Of dead ques-
tion, when there is live, black ignorant,
superstitious, suspicious, lustful and
almost helpless neighbor to repress and
assist There is no use in it. 1t is a
worse than useless waste Of time. The
facts are before us and we must recognize
them and consider what TO
do not who is to blame2
This is no time to be disturbing "retribu-
tive justice Here is a question Of to
day to be sectled for the welfare Of both
races. The man who stands off with his
arms folded in admiring contemplation Of
his own virtues, crying to his neighbor,
''You are a vile sinner and should be
punished, is fool or a fraud. His kind
has been known to the world ever since
that miserable Pharisee went up to the
temple TO make the Lord feel ashamed Of
Himself and to indicate that it would be
well for the Lord TO exchange places with
| him.

w. C. Carpenter of Centreville at
tempted to accomplish an impossibility
on Market street, between Second and
Third about IA o'clock last evening. Car
penter was driving up the street on the
down street car track. A team belonging
to Joseph Ocheltree. and driven by a
colored man, was proceeding leisurely
down the street on the same track. The
feat that Carpenter attempted to per-
form was to pass the other team on the
same track. IL need not be said that
the attempt was a failure. The hind
legs of Ocheltree's mare, in some
manner became entangled with the hind
wheel Of the other buggy. The cries of
the entangled animal were pitiful and
the spectators thought the brute was
seriously injured. The wheel of Car
penter's wagon was taken off and the
mare released from her awkward posi-
ton, and Immediately proved to the
crowd that she was not very much
injured by the vigorous way she kicked
at the offending buggy

In few days the Committee of the
Board of Trade, West Chester having
the Lenape railroad project in hand, will
start cut for stock subscriptions and it Is
rumored they have received very fatter-
ing encouragement from many quarters.
The Wilmington and Northern Rail
road Company have made proposition
TO the Board of Trade to the effect that
If West Chester can raise $50, 600 the
road will be built. the railroad company
furnishing the balance of 81 so, 900. This is
the estimated cost of building the road
as figured from the reports Of the sur
veyors. The railroad company first
asked the Board Of Trade to go to work
and ascertain at once the number of
leases they could procure from farmers
along the proposed route, as great deal
depends upon this.
As $50, 900 was raised for the building
of the West Chester branch of the P. r.
