THE REPORTER ). PEJU'EK, Sk., |J- PAKLWNGTON, jiditor. Anxwiute Ktlilor. T IJJp.-DAY, JANUARY 27, 1876, '4.11 K -SEAT/XI'JL" AGAIX IX EMM HI. The following extracts are taken from an editorial in the "Western Sen- ' Wnel" of hist weak, in which the Mt. I Railroad is spoken of: "We learn tl\«t there will be a meet- J ing held in Hunbury on the first Mon day in February to consider the pro- ! priety of authorising the Couuty Com j missiontirs t° §ubmit the proposition to the voters of tho county, of taking a county subscription of SIOO,IIOO. in the proposed road." Then follows a lot «f pretended ad vice, prejudicial to the road, and this statement: •'The contemplated road will not be less than 05 mi es long, and cannot possible cost less, than $15,0(10 per —vo ufue -ana eqaip,' wuifcto pun the aggregate up to $1,000,000." Anothor batch of advice hero cpmos jn, and then, as if conscious of wrong doing, this apologetic seuteuce is in serted t "We have felt some hesitancy in laying this much in regard to th,'s sub ; ifcription, knowing there were some **pferspns ready and anxious to misin terpret anything we might say on this -subject, but what we have said is foT the.benefit of the tax-payers, whose ' interests should be guarded in caste the '• subscription is made." That none of our citizens may be totaled, it becomes our duty to com ment upon the foregoing extracts. The first one contains not a single word of truth ; and it is a noticeable fact that in every instance, in referring • to the Mt. Airy Railroad, the "Senti nel" misses the truth as far as though it had never aimed at it. A meeting will be held in Daubury on the first Monday in February, but we deny the assertion that any proposition will be presented or considered relative to a pounty subscription. On the contrary, we are informed by parties, interested in the enterprise that there is now no probability that suph a proposition will ever be necessary, as the indica ' tidns are that 111 of th(e stock will b9 readily taken by private individuals. In the second place, we do not un derstand the basis upon which the! '•'Sentinel" makes its calculation, as ; to cost of construction and equipment, j Although we have sought all possible j information upon the subject, we have j been unable to hear of a narrow-gauge railroad anywhere that cost m,ore than $9,000 per mile, while one. cost only $3,500. Thou why should our road cost $15,000 ? The itemized esfeimata inafle by experienced and competent men places the probable post at $7,500 par mile—just half of the "Sentinel's'* estimate 1 And lastly, had it not been for the excuse our neighbor renders for thus meddling with pur affairs, we,, proba-: bly> would have been among those alluded to, whp are "ready and anx ious to misinterpret anything it might •ay on this subject.'* According to it* statement, the "Sentinel'' is actu ated by np motive—none op, earth —but tp benefit the tax-payer ! "We are glad to. know this, for we might havp imagined that it had some selfish mptivp ia its continual misrep resentations and general "cold-water" dashing. We "might have'thought that it preferred that our county should continue to fill the warehouses of Winston with its. produce and wealth, instead of setting up a market and a pefteaieace to other markets for it that the "Sentinel" would gladly defeat our road and hold Stokes in the background, so that its. towu could be enriched at the expense of our farm ers sb 1 tax-payers. We might have thought that unless some selfish pur pose was aimed at, true statements jtind logical argument would have been advanced Instead of gross misrepre sentation and the most reckless guess work. We hope our contemporary will continue to work for the ''benefit " jpf the but trust in future it will he careful to incorporate at Ifcaet* am all particle of truth in its We Wish Winston no harm ; but the tax-papers of Stokes, and all Other sensible citizens, prefer building : up our own interests to paying tribute longer to any nj.arket, tae "Sentinel" ; ft $e contrary, notwithstanding. JO URJVA LIS T L C JYO IPS ■ • I We ore under obligation to linn. A M. Scales for copies of the Con gressional Record. "Oi n RKLIABLE." —The first number ! of the new volume of the "American j Farmer" for 1876 ig received, and is a, capital one in every respect. The mass of practical information, in c-yery branch o,f agriculture, in this single number, is worth far more to any in j quiring farmer who is anxipus to im ' prove his land and his condition, than tjhe year's subscription. Published by ! Samuel Sands & Son, Baltimore, Md., at $1 50 per annum, or 81 for club of five or more. Specimen, numbers will be forwarded when requested. t'l'pterson's Magazine" for Februa ry is before us, ahead of all others, and contains, as a supplement, a fine, large-sized, steel engraving, attar Col. j "JrumbyJl's celebrated picture, "The j centennial gilt of the publisher to his 1 subscribers for 1876. The plate is vpry carefully engraved, with fifty-six portraits, and can be taken out and framed, if desired. It is a picture which every family ought to possess ; and every family, therefore, ought to subscribe for "Peterson." Besides this costly supplement, there is the usual steel-plate, and a charming one it is, called "Snow Birds a colored steel fashion,-plate, double sige; a col ored pattern ; and more than a score of other embellishments of fashions, &c., &. "Peterson" is ope of the few magazines that gets better and better the older it grows. Thp price is but two dollars a year, postage free, with great deductions to clubs. Address Qhas. J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa. Hill's Speech. We wish we had space to present entire the speech of the Hon. Ben H. Hill, of Georgia, delivered in Congress upon the amnesty bill, in reply to Blaine's "bloody shirt" harangue. We publish the following closing extract: *'My message to the gentleman from Maine is this : There are no Confede rates in this House. There are no Confederate ambitions, desires or pur poses in this House. But the South is ! here, and here she intends to remain. [ Let fanaticism do its worst. Let it ! pass its nullifying acts, trample on the I Cops itution, abnegate the pledges of the fathers, incite raids on our people, multiply infidelities until they shall be like the stars of heaven or the sands of the seashore, without number ; but we know this : that for all your ini quities the South will never again seek a remedy in the madness of another secession. We are here. We are in our father's house. Our brothers are our companions, and we are at home, thank God ! We come to gratify np vengeance, to retaliate no wrongs, to resent np, past insults, to re-open no strife. We come with a patriotic pur pose to de whatever in our political power«shall lip to restore an honest, economical and constitutional' admin j istration of the Government. We Come charging on the Union no wrongs jto us. The Union never wronged the South- The Union has been an un mixed blessing to every seotion, to ev ery State, to every man of every color in America. We charge all our wrongs to that higher law, fanaticism, which never kept a pledge or obeyed a law. We nought to leave the association, of those who would not keep fidelity to the covenant. We sought to go by ourselves; but so far from having lost our fidelity to the Constitution, we hugged it to our bosom and carried it with us. Braye Union mon of the North, followers of Webster and Gill-. ; more, of Cass and Douglas, you who | fought for the Union for the sake of i the you who ceased to fight ! when the battle was ended and the sword was sheathed, with you we have no quarrel. We felt your heavy arm i ' ,n the midst of the struggle, but above the roar of cannon we heard your i voice of kindness calling, 'Brothers, come back.' We are here to co-oper ate with you, to do whatever we can, in spite of all our sorrows, to rebuild 1 the Union, to restore peace, to, bo a blessing to the country, and to make I the American Union what our fathers intended it should bo—the glory of America and the blessing of humani? ty. But, you, gentlemen, who perse cuted us by your infidelities until you drove us out of the Union; you who then claimed to be the only friends of the Union, which yau had before de nounced as a 'W»gue with hell and a : cyvenapt with death.you who fol : lowed up the war when the soldiers who fought it have made peace and goije to their ho".»es ; to you we have no concessions to make. Martyrs owe no apology to tyrants. And while we are ready to make every sacrifice for the Union, secos»ion, however defeated and oppressed, will confess no sin to fanaticism, however bigoted aud ex acting. Yet, while we make to you no concession, we say this to you : We come even to you in no spirit of re venge- • We have but one ambition, and is to add our political power t *' . TTnjop men. of the tfpr ier to compel fanaticism to obey the laws aud live iu the Union according to the Constitution. We do not propose to compel yo.u by oaths, for yo,u never kept them. The South did the Union one great wiong, and we cojj&e, as far as we can, to repair it. We pronged the Union grievously when we left it to be seized, and rent, aud torn by the men who had de nounced it as a 'league with death and a covenant with hell ' We ask you, gentlemen of the Republican party, to rise afcove all of your animosities—rto forget your old sin. Let us unite to repair the wrongs that distract and op press the couutry. Let us turn our backs o.u the past, and fat it be said in the future that he shall be the great est patriot, the truest patriot, the no blest patriot, who shall do the most to repair the wrongs of the past and to promote the glories of the future." Touching the Right Key. We do. not know where we have seen moje sensible and timely advice than she following, from, the Balti more Gazette: "It iaidlo to talk abou,t a revival of busity?# and a return to specie pay rtneslto -whiltf*we are spending the enor mous amount of money we are now spending for the mere purpose of gov ornment. While every sound busi ness ipan and merchant is endeavoring to cut down his expenses, the gentle men who are conducting the govern ment at \\ ashington are increasing their outlays and endeavoring to bind the people by raising false issues—sec tarianism, foreign wars, schools—in order that they may continue their ca reer of plunder. The policy for the Democratic party from the very first day of the session is to go straight ahead and cut remorselessly upon the right hand and the left Let General Grant endeavor to set church against church, Mr, Morton wave his blood stained banner, the work for the Dem ocratic party to do ijs to save the peo . pie's money. Cut down the appropri ations remorselessly, but judiciously, and send them to the Senate and to the President. This is the work the country expects to see done, and done quickly. Let Mr. Randall go ahead." Third Term in North Carolina. The following is taken from a letter dated in. Raleigh, and published in the NewTork Sun: "|i is really wonderful to note how stiofigly the third-term movement has« developed in this State within the past month. The Federal office-holders are all for Grant. Until Bishop Ha ven was so. outspoken in Boston a short time ago, many of this class, were silent on the subject. The leading lights here of the. movement for v the President's re-nomination are first and foremost ex-Gov. Holden, impeached Radical, and present Postmaster at Raleigh, and Dick Badger, who was, until. 1871,, one of the most violent Democrats in the State, but suddenly ' became a convert under the influence jof Holden and a Ring which then i held the reins of State goverment Badger is now U. S. District Attorney | and'has still higher political aspira tione. R- M. Douglass, U. S. Mar shal, formerly Grout's private secreta ry, has somo religious scruples about supporting his former roaster foe a third term ; but, beyond the patronage of his office, Robert wields no political influence in the State. Thomas tie, who was President of the Phila delphia Convention, is a strong third terniist. His associates on the Su preme bench of this State are non committal. The colored people in the State, who do not publicly favor, do not oppose a third term, >( The respectablo classes among the white Republicans are not all in lavor of a third term or of third-termers; and when the State Convention meets, should the question be mooted, there will be a row. At any rate, it is safe to say, third term or no third term, at the next State election North Carolina will go Democratic." No Redress from the Courts. Corrupt and partisan judges, assist ed by ignorant and incompetent negro jurors, have convinced the people of South Carolina that to appeal to the courts for redress or is drle of the greatest delusions of the age, and that communities must depend upon their own arms lor the protection the law refuses to give Hence the fol lowing incident, detailed in a special correspondence to the Wilmington c^tar: "On Saturday evening last, at Clio, a small village in Marlboro county, S. C., Arch Madison, colored, met his fate, suspended from a limb. A short time previous to his hanging, during the absence of Mr. , a respectable citizen of the above county, Madison broke into his residence, and despite the frantic cries of Mr. 's wife> committed a fiendish Hence his jNisfc punishment. Several months ago, un attempt upon the person of a respectable young lady was made in this section by a buck negro, who, upon failure in his purpose, out her throat from ear to ear. The cat was not so deep as expected, and the lady recov ered. The perpetrator was promptly handed? over to the law, but the law power was so favorable to this spe«ies of crime that he eseaped under the sentence of a short confinement in the State penitentiary. Fearing that the crimd would 'be further encouraged by the law power, the citizens, in the late case, took the matter into their own hands, as above stated. No arrosts have been made." JVEWS OF THE WEEK Twelve Republicans, in the House voted for the Amnesty bill. There are 257 convicts in the N. C. Penitentiary. The Albemarle Times is in, favor of Gen* A. M. Scales for Governor. TheStcvte Grange Matron# of Hus bandry meets in Greensboro on the 15th of February. Kentucky confiscates all money bet on elections and gives it to the school fund. A bill has been introduced'into the Legislature of Mississippi making ed ucation compulsory. The Republican National Executive Convention will meet in Cincinnati, on the 14th of June. A delegation cf North Carolina third-termers, headed by Bob' Douglas, are interviewing Grant. There are at present oyer ninety eight thousand native North.Carolini ans living in other States. The Legislature of Virginia has re fused to make any appropriation to secure a representation of that State at the Centennial. It is reported in Charlotte that a negro was killed in Cabarrus county while attempting to rob a man on the highway. A sufficient amount of stock has been subscribed to secure a chapter for a National Bank at Winston, Forsythe county. The Observer says that on Monday night last, a little four-year old daugh ter of Mr. Samuel Grissom, in liastoa county was burned to death. The Penitentiary sent fifty convicts to the Spartauburg and Asheville road, and fifty more will go to- the Western North, Carolina road in a day or two. The Judiciary Committee have fix ed upon four years, instead of six, as the limit of the Presidential office in the proposed constitutional amend ment, rqaking, however, the President ineligible. The Democratic State Executive Committee of South Carolina have is sued a stirring '.iddroee, urging organ ! ization throughout the Stat#. The Executive Committee of North Oaro* ; lina have not, Raleigh News: Wednesday sight jin this city at the institution for deaf : mutes aud the blind, Mr. John A* ' Simpson waa married to Miss Narcissa J. Dupree, by the Rev. J. 1). Huff* ham. This youug blind couple is well known to the people of the tttato, both fine pianists and excellent musicians, and Miss Dupxee sings with a voice she must have stolen from the birds. Raleigh News: In Warren county three negroes went toa> farmer's smoke house to steal his meat. It was a log house and they pried it off the ground, while one held it up with a lever as th* other two went under after the meat. The dog barked and brought the farm* er aut with his gun, aud as the twtx negroes had commenced crawling oul„ the farmer fired his gun off, and' th& one holding the lever took to his heels* dropping the log house on hia friends, killing them both.
