What is our good old State coming to?
The rcformets have heurod disgrace upon

years. but the climax was reached last

North Carolina 90 about itF VIII they
suffer another such gang To be elected to
make laws for our State? We believe
not. 1hc good people of the State arose
i'm their might in 1870 and hurled from
power the scoundrels and the party they
represented that brought Ftch shame
and disgrace upon our State two years be-
fore. We believe that history viii repeat
itself next year, when the good people of
all parties win unite and drive from pow

The proceedings in the House Of Rep
resentatives last Friday and Saturday
were a disgrace and a shame to any
civilized country. The profanity, riot
and pandemonium that reigned in this
dignifed body of lawmakers, are enough
to make every honest man, of whatever
political faith or of whatever color, hang
his head in shame, that it is to go down
in history and out to the world that these
men were representatives of the peaceful,
law-abiding citizens of our dear old State.
May the good Lord deliver us from an
other such Legislature.
We have no reasons to doubt the re-
ports that come to us, and if tenth part
of them are true, it will be out of order
to go back to the days of '6S and 80 TO
hold up the acts of carpet baggens and
treasury looters in making comparisons
The present Legislature viii take the
place and fill the bill. They have over
turned the good laws, usages and Gus
toms of our former Legislatures, that
have been frequently referred to with
pride by North Carolinians. They have
had but one great object in view in all
their deliberations, and that is to make
soft places and fill them by themselves
and their boot-licks. They have brought
todium and disgrace upon the fair name
of our good old State, and it viii be ne

sack cloth and ashes before they will be
