Some papers in and out of the Stale aro saying a good deal con cerning Senator Vance and th Pres ident, and some of them are neither ' i . . mi. 1 -iii complimentary nor just, xne wai veston News, Petersburg Index and other papers beyond the State -are ignorant of the Senator's rea.1 atti- people and for the people. Some of the editors in their assaults upon our eminent and faithful Senator would seem to limit the right of conviction and freedom of opinion to one side. and to give oountenanoe to the charge of a young man that North Caro hnians are intolerant and will not al low you to think and write with . en tire freedom.

We are Carolina he disv prised-at this when North papers are trying to injure; tinguished Senator in the estimation of his fellow countrymen. You will hardly find any old editor, however, doing this who has the sensn of grati tude and who remembers the career of Zebulon B. Vance in peace and in war. When the Galveston iJVfunn kkn jtidulge the following statement it shows it is blind to the Senator's vir tues and is willing to catch' lip mis representations in order to 'fboom" Mr. Cleveland. It says:' J "It is encouraging to learn that Vance, of North Carolina, is still lied with the Administration. He recently declared himself 'not a Cleveland man.' , No better evidence could be desired; that ! the President is adhering, to his pledge! to carry out an honest reform of the civil service than from the fact that he is opposed by the school of lean and lank ' what-are-you here for' politicians, of which Mr. Vance is one of the most prominent and persistent reprc- nr 8iY" The Plant 1 1 Carolinian they might see that last ice .is , done, and ; that no indorsement is given to the attack. Senator dissatis- tacitly accepts the attack of the foreign News , as ijust and proper. Senator Vance will survive all such insults. Let bis friends as. certain that there is a combination on the part of a few or many to drive Senator Vance from, office and cause the people to lose confidence in him, and there will be such a stir as North Carolina has not keen since he wrested the State ; from the clutches of the Republicans by his memorable campaign in 1876.

Is ihe most gifted, the most distinguished North Carolinian to be set upon by '.'Blanch, Tray and Sweetheart" and ru n down because he chooses' to have opinions and to find fault with Cleye-.

Has it come to pass that the greatest of our public men is to be denounced and derided because he is true to his ovvn highest convictions; because he will not "bow the pregnant hinges of Ihe knee that thrift may follow fawn ing?" Is this the game? j It so, tiien Senator Vance's friends must get on their armor. : j j When his public record ia remem bered, and it is seen how (true nd patriotic and noble he has been fall through the years -as Governor; as a Federal prisoner, because he ser ed North Carolina with all of his migl ity soul; as Senator, and that in he midst of venality and corrupt on and sycophancy and denial of prin ciple and of people, he has! kept Jhis soul white and his hands clean j,nd his backbone perpendicular and ias worn no wool in his mouth, but has spoken manly and brave words to his trusting people, whom he guided through . four years' of blood and suffering, we think it will be found that not many true, manly, honest North Carolinians are among iiho crowd of maligners and persecutors and assailers. j The peoplo of. North Carolina ire not fools. They can pierce the io tive that actuates the assailants. The latter may think Vance has been! in office long enough and it is timej to give Lis Bhoes to some other man; but the people are not weary I of Vance. They know the man, and will trust him against a worTcljin arms and the whole brigade of organ grinders' and office worshippers. The people of North Carolina are not ungrateful. They remember how grandly, how wise, how justly, how honestly, how self-sacrificingly, Vance bore himself m his high office during and after the war, and tiiey will be deaf to all defamation and hsedless of all attempts to drag him down, whether the animating motive ue jealousy, or rivalry, or sycophan cy, or a belief in the absurd, undem ocratic, exploded doctrine that "the King can do no wrong," or whatever be the impelling motive. j. The people of North Carolina are not intolerant. They are Willing that men-free, intelligent men shall en joy liberty of speech and a free bal lot. They do not believe that in a free country it is right to' abridge freedom of printing, freedom! of voting, freedom of speech. When they agree to these invasions of! hu man rights they will show themselves wholly nn worthy of the patriots of -m5-'6 of the people! who defied British, tyranny and refused after the war was ended and liberty j won to have any other .form of Govern ment set np on these shores but a Government of the people and by the candidate this a fre e tabooed to his. opinions and preferences and he is man enough to hold and to ex press them. But really, Vance is not the fool ' . i " i his enemies would make people think him e j He is not au Cleveland'. He himplv approve; of certaiu acts of the President.1" Vance does I not agree with the President i as to cer tain opinions he holds. That is all He would probably prefer, as an ab stract question, another Is that a crime ? Is not country ? Must a man who fails to offer incense to the Pro sident ? i Are we all slaves ? .

A BOOK THAT MAKES THE PUR . ' - - PLY. :. ponn Piatt has a book just out that will he widalv rtnil inil will iu milch talked about. In the North it will be savagely criticised, as it knocks down some of the popular idols and leaves them lying amid the rubbish. It is a bold, saucy, candid sort of a book, judging from some ex tracts we have seen, and it will make th idolaters of Grant and Sherman grind their teeth and spit their ven om. He calls his boolc "Mam 1 ho Men Who Saved the Union." It will be noticed that the author dots Lot say "Who Put Down the Rebellion." Piatt has too much sense for that.. Besides" as "Don Miff" saye, none but but the "under- bred npeak of Southern rebels. The truth of the war is gradually coming to light, j The fair men in the North are beginning to tell the facts as' t hey were. Piatt, Wilkinson, and owinton to a considerabln mi tell the truth. The books heretofore written to glorify the North have trained with falsehoods and perver- eionti. Grants boot - th o-u p . - j . otao vfc which is so extraordinary, is a ro mance- a tissue of misrepresentation. truth suppressed, and exaggeration. SherinanV work is as fabulous as Baron Munchausen. These two men liad an axe to irind. Than h O uau doubtful reputations to bolster and to do this they t wisted the facts, sup pressed the truth, manufactured numbers and invented occurrences. Donn Piatt is a writer of striking qualities He hag the very style re quired in a dashing, slashing, elo quent book. He knows how to go through the Pantheon of Northern godu and-' distinguish between the false and the true. Whom do you suppose he regards as the real eaviors-uf the Union ?

I am pleased to report that we have been fortunate, having collected, more tax than was expected on the levy jand over $4,000 from deeds for tiuicrjTj ww ubs ueeo Boiu ior taxes, which redeves us of the necessity for providing j for said amount. . The Com missioners : were desirous of : recom mending at this meeting a recrQction of taxesbut are usable to do Boon account of the construction of section 43 of the Rev enue Act, and section 2,544 of the Code, by the State Treasurer, which takes $3,500 1 rum our gener&i 1 una ana gives said amount to the school rund; therefore, the Commiafilouers have to recommend the tax levy as per statement furnished you, which is the same as last year; to wit, 44 cents on property and $l.S3i on the poll. The bonded debt, at the time of my last report; was $5,900. In February of this year I advertised for persons holding the bonds to present them for payment, as they were due the 1st of March, and no interest would be paid after that day.

The Cardinal was received by Mayor Hodges, members of tbe City Council, Judges of the Courts and Police Commissioners, who took tbe right of the line. On the part of Catholic societies the Cardinal was received by Charles J.
