BAD 8IGN. i The authorities of the Town of Salis bury have ordered their Market House to be sold - provided the debts of the Town can be so arranged as to make a good title to the property. ; A Conservative ? administration bas been governing onr lifter Town of Salis bnry, and it don't look right to .see the Town property adverted for sale to pay debts. It is a bad sign. 1I Charlotte Democrat. j The badnesx of the "sign" consists In not paying for the whistle when we bought it, and in Hot raising the taxes high enough to pay for it since. The government of the town has! been mixed, especially in its finan cial affairs. The present administra tion have been trying to untangle the web and et matters into good work ing order, and bid fair to uccoed. We trust we shall be able to boast of an bjd Davy Parks here, one of these days, who trill make people behave and do their duty whether willing or not. j Our Market House and Town Hall is a pretty-grand building, and the debt made for it was brought from be yond the war. There were some tri vial disasters befell our Town in its passage through that little incident in the life of thisgreat country, from wilich various pretexts were borrow ed for delaying payment since, with which unreasonable creditors lost their patience, and insolently levied execu tions upon our property. But wo, will work out all right one of these days, which will be & good "sign," you known. . REPUDIATION. The Wilmington Journal saya u North Carolina is too poor to repudiate her hon est debts." Some men seem to think thai repudiation would be a clear gain of the amount thus cancelled. Experience is against it. A State must acquire by such an act all. tbe odinm, disgrace and disadvantage that attaches to an incivid uat by defrauding his creditors. She looses her good name and credit and becomes a by-word, at which her citizens (to unborn generations) blush with shame. It is bad enough to be poor without add ing thereto the odium of dishonesty, and we think there can be no necessity so great as to impel the Siatc to the adoption of such policy. Some other and better way will be found to relieve her.

C, bas the following very truth ful picture of the thieving radicals aud carpet baggers who now iufeut the South- c.... . y n States : One bright sunny day, more than two thousand years ago, an aged man, dress ed; iu a coarse garb and carrying a tub on his hd, might have been seen walking slowly aloug one, of the principal strata in Alliens. He bore a lighted lauttrn in Lis hand, although it was broad daylight. A passer by observing this and wonder ing why it was, asked the old man what h was doing ! " Looking for an honest man in Athens,", was the short reply of the cynic. j If this old philosopher conld rise from his grave at this degenerate day and pay the United Siates a visit, what would he say when be discovered the nests of offi cial rogues that Infest every capital, and the rings pf radical .thieves that plunder every treasury in ihe United Sutes when he saw such a dishonest knave as Robert Kingston Seott, stealing the bonds of the Stata of which he is the Ohief Magistrate, and the President of this Re- puuuc Himself abnsiug bis trust and de grading the higb ofEce be holds by receiv ing bribes and presents, and going hand in glove with Cn-tom House rascals and land swindlers T Diogenes would call for his lantern, perhaps, and go in search of an honest man, but we hardly tbink he would find one among the public officials either In Washington, Columbia, or in any other city or State where members f Gram's party collect taxes and keep the keys to the Treasury. The honest old soul would be shocked, horrified, su prtmtly disgusted when he learued that the only three cardinal principles govern ing, the present' corrupt admin'ntration seem to be these, to wit : iJL To Wd on to power by fair means or foul. ' ' : 2. To steal the people's hard earnings tn every way possible. 3. To Ux tbe country to death tbat tbe rulers may thrire; and prosper and grow fat in office.

This notorious earpet bagger of New Hamp shire, who by force of fraud and the bayonet, baa pretended to represent Jforth Carolina in the United States Senate, is thus complimented by the Washington Patriot. We are glad that the papers beyond tht Po tomac, are ventilating tbe frauds and exposing the carpet-bag swindlers. We have worked on them, without cawing, for three years. Others being after them, we can withdraw for awhile, and fchpw the people that the negroes arid rax pet baggers coold have accomplished nothing without the office-holding scalawag, such as Dick, Settle, Caldwell A Co. North Carolina has fifty senators, and one hundred nd twenty In the House. Tlie fol lowing Is the vote for the election of the United States Senator, under which Abbott claims he has been elected. Senate vote: Vance 32; Abbott 11; fite scat tering, only forty-eigU votes cast. House vote : Vance 61; Abbott 31; scatter ing 8. It will be seen from this statement that Abbott recei ved only 42 votes out of 170, he did not get his party vote. There is no chance for him to be elected in the Senate unless with his ring money of twenty thousand dollars, he bay his seat If the Senate could be bought Abbott has not the money to purchase. If he shonl.I be declared entitled to his seat by a majority of the committee shows only the degeneracy and corruption of the times, rltal. Sentinel. From the Washington Patriot. SENATOR ABBOTT. The wholesale system of robbery which fol lowed radical "reconstruction" in North Caro lina, as naturally as cause and eflett, u now no torious to the whole country. It is bot a single chapter of the huge volume of corruption, rapa city, and fraud, in which the sad history of the South is written since the cloae of the civil war. An organized gang of carpet-bag thicres, aided by a few native swindlers, cot pwweswion of the State government, and backed bv Federal bay onets, perpetrated outrages, wnich. are a dis grace to the civilization of the age, and a Mast ing Migma upon free institutions, in the name of which these crimes were committed.

A conSdential cltrk of Swepwon testified be fore the committee that various sums of monev, amounting to $241,71 3,41 were paid bv Swcj son to members of die Legislature and other, and charged to the account of LittleSeld. 11 Henthnl (the witness) pretended not to know the reasons or considerations for these payment, hut his convenient ignorance has not in any way mUIed the public. The coincidence of inie anil event, as well as the reputation of the partirs implii-nted, leaves no moral doubt on the snl ject. From the lists of notorious names furninh ed by Rouen thai, the following jecimcris are selected, because they are more or les familliur to the public, in connection with affairs of N. Carolina: J. C. Abbott, $20,000 F. W. Foster, 25000 General Etes and French, 20,913 J. T. lewees, lti.OOO Judcc Tounree, y 7no Jim IIarris,-(colored,) 7 J0O joiin iiyxnan tcoioreu,) 2,10 " Iari)M" Sinclair, 3 o00 bleepy Downing, Most of thee persons nrcconpicuous carpet baggers, with a spriiikling of the " colored ele ment." Pewccse will be remembered as the member of Congress who resigned llLJet, fear ing the fate of Whittemore, for the Kale of a ca det's commWon. But the name, now likelv to attract most notice and comment, is that of J. C. AblKtt, recently a carpet-bag Senator, and now again seeking a seat in that chamber at the hands of a partisan majority, after having been repudiated by the people of North Carolina. He was a member of the convention, and sub sequently of the legislature, which passed the schemes concocted by Littlefield and his con federates. His votes a ded in consumating these montrous iniquities, and his influence, such as it might be, was cat on the side of these men. The fact carries its own comment. No argu ment is needed to point a conclusion. It is but a repetition of that disgraceful experience, which the rule of adventurers has imposed upon the South, for wore thin six years of miscalled peace. When Gov. Vance was elected to the United States Senate by an overwhelming majority, Abbott was a nominal candidate against him, and received about one-fourth of tlie votes cast, or less than a m.yority of a quorum. It is true that Governor Vance labored under political disabilities, umilar to those which were reliev ed in the cases of several radical members of Congress, aj'ter their election. The Legislature doubtless supposed that the rule applied in these instances would govern others, and at least, that the amnesty which has been so long promised, would remove the technical objection to Gov. Vance. Those reasonable expectations were disappointed. Upon this miserable pretext, Abbott has had the effronteiy to demand a seat to which he was neer. elected, nnd he is sup ported by tbe reckless partnership of those who discard all reason and law, in pursuing a politi cal purpose. It thU pretension is to be seriously considered, then it is ttroner thnl nn innnin atmtiM I made Into Abbott's connect ion with Littlefield's corrupt transactions in North Carolina.

Feb. 8. TIIE LEASE CONSPIRACY'. It was lawful, regular and right fsr the stockholders .of the North Carolina Railroad Company to hold their last annual meeting it was due every stock holder that such meeting should have been held. Indeed, the law required such a ini'ttiug to bo held, unless by some accidental cause it could not be. If two or more persons put their head together aud agreed to prevent a meeting for any fraudulent purpose, such a purpose for example as making a base of the Compauy'e rod and property to any one, or Company to the prejudice of the ttock holdert or any of them, or for the illicit benefit of any of the officers of the Com pany, or any of their agents or employees, such act was a conspiracy aud indictable.

This lease is no small matter, it involves millions of dollars; this conspiracy was no trifling one it was a errand one. level ed at the iState as well as private individ uals.

Winston Sentinel. HIGUWAY ROBBERT. A few weeks since two resectable eiti-! xens of this county took a load of apples ! and provisions of different kinds to South : Yamuna ior in purpose oi telling Ihem. They had beeniu the villtgc of Abbeville tradh'g, and had driven out in the direc tion! of Danbury. When but a short I distance, not more than three quarters of' a mile from the village six large buck' lie?roet who had snot led ihtm while in town, suddenly ttepjed out before ihem, witb pistolt in band, and demanded tbeir m e money. ine related to comply, wben they were seized by the negroes, and their money forced from them. The negroet then disappeared in the woods, when these citizens drove on with tbeir wagons, believing that an effort to recover their money would prove fru tlest, and their lives endangered by going back. Tbe amonnt ef money taken wts about $25, this being all they bad In their pockets at the time. From a gentleman now in town, who for several years resided in tbat section of jjouth Carolina, we lean) that sncb outrage are of frequent occurrence. It is well ,that tbe attention of our people (many of whom are trading dowu there continually) be called to tbit matter, and when they load their wagous for South Caroline, at tbe same time load their pockets with arms for tbeir defense. If tbit bo the condition of affairs down there it is no wonder tbey bave ku klux. Wbea tbe civil law fails to protect peaeeable and inoffentive citizens, then tbey may not only protect themselves, bot they would be astifiable in forming secret societies far this purpose.
