A CUES rION OF PUBLIC HONOR.

On the question of gold pay
ments by the United States gov
ernment, and its necessity, the
New York Times says truly gold
payments are, in the first place,
a matter of national honor, and
in the second place, a matter of
equal and universal justice be-
tween all classes of the people of
the United States.
What are the greenbacks?
They are promises to pay, is
sued to carry on the war for the
Union and to meet it's burdens.
They were promises to pay
gold and nothing else.
They were so issued by the
Congressman who voted for
them.
They were 50 taken by the
creditors of the government to
whom they were given.
They could not have got one
vote in Congress on any other
understanding.
They would have never been
accepted on any other.
Congress declared that again
and again.
The customs dues were made
payable in gold in order that the
note might be paid in gold, and
remained so. until specie pay
ments had been resumed.
If a contract is to be read in
the light Of what both parties to
it believed that the contract was
at the time that it was made,
then every United States note is
a contract to pay gold, and to
fail to provide for it's payment is
reputation.

BLACKGUM VS.. THUNDER.

Blackgum VS. Thunder.
Pea son VS. Linney.
The two most famous of Wes-
tern 'Reformers, Richmond
Pearson and Romulus Zigzag
Linney, are in Raleigh to work
measures of reform" for the
dear people. Mr.. Pearson has
been here since the opening of
the session of the General AS
sembly. His disinterested patri-
otism is of such a high order that
he has taken up his abode in Ra-
leigh to compel the Legislature
to act wisely. Shortly after the
election, he issued a proclama-
tion from his castle on Rich
mond Hill, saying in effect that,
while the Legislators were liable,
if left to their own will, to tear
down the institutions and destroy
the good name of the State, he
would come to Raleigh, and stand
at the pass Of ThermopylB, and
hold back the unframed horde.
In obedience to his proclama-
ton, Mr.. Pearson moved down,
and has been running the Legis-
lature up to this time. It has
been a herculean task, but he
has shirked no responsibility, and
Stunned no labor.
Why this sudden display of
zeal for the rights of the people?
This question has been in the
mind Of everybody for four or
five weeks, and it has evaded So
luton.
1t was not answered until yes
terday, and it was answered then
only by the arrival of Romulus
: Zigzag Linney. His absence
from this gathering Of var
igated, ring streak ed and
striped visiting statesmen has
been marked. Every other po-
litical zebra and every other ''now

the steamer City OF Bridgeport, the tender
of Nalkyrie Ill between the Earl OF Dun
