"a house divided against itself cannot
stand" We must either surrender the
negroes or surrender government OF
the people for the people, and by the
people. With the present state of at
fairs popular government in the South
is destined to be a failure. It IS now
and will continue to be a government
by force and fraud. No sane man
would claim that popular government
exists at all in South Carolina. Missis
sippi and Louisiana. That such is the
case is not surprising. Race antagO
niem which l showed, in a former
article, to be a natural quality Of
society, together with inc equality in
the civilization of the two races and
the traditions Of master and slave
make them irreconcilable. Why at
tempt the impossible9 Why blight our
future happiness and prosperity Why
not ~colonize the negro, a thing which
is fast becoming q necessity
The following statement from the
Alamance Cleaner we publish in jus
sice to the officers Of Alamance county.
Perhaps u correspondent was mis-
informed. If not, we shall be glad to
hear from MIN. Says the Cleaner: A
correspondent Of The Progressive Far
mer, writing from this county to that
paper in speaking Of the county meet
ing of the Alliance in April, uses these
words, Our new county Chcers shut
US out Of the court house, but we found
a hall in town and had our meeting
Just the same" We heard something
about the Alliancemen being shut out
q day or two after the meeting was
held and made enquiry about the mat
ter. No county officer knew anything
about it and fading the report to be
utterly without foundation, 80 far as
''our new county chcers" were con.
cerned, dropped the matter. Now the
facts are, the S lerif, the custodian Of
the court house, was out Of town when
the meeting convened, but came while
the meeting was in session; the Regis
ter Of Deeds and the CLERK of the Court
we're not approached about the use Of
the court house. These are all who
we're at the court house on the meeting
day"
The New y Jrk Financier, organ OF
the national bankers, says: the easy
money conditiong prevailing have,
without doubt, strengthened the BOND
market, and dealers are calculating on
J some very high prices within the mex
/ few weeks. The sale by the State oil
North Carolina OF 4per cent. 10 year
bonds, at a price which yields the ouyel
less than 3 per cent is one Of the mos
remarkable demons STATIONS Of the
strength Of the market which has conn
TO light. B Altimore congratulated itsel
not long since on the fact that it haC
received q price for its Issues which
brought them to about a 3 per cent
bases, but here we fad a southern
| State making a sale which PLACES it q
once on a par with New York anC
Massachusetts. Such a Contingency
vas undreamsd of three years ago
North Carolina, however, is one Of tn
most progressive commonwealth soutl
os Mason and D.xon's line, and 30 IA
as security goes her bonds are wei
worth the price received. The Fin
ancier" congratulates S ate Treasure
Worth on the remarkable achievement
which he has brought about. He ha
rendered a distinct service to his Stat
lone that will rebound to its materiG
advantage in years to come"
