GREENE, Jeweler. Zionville, N C It F D How the R. psdUted Bonis Were Is ! sued. Behind Mr. Burton's campaign for the capture of the next liCgis ture is believed to bethedenp laid purpose of the New York holders of repudiated bonds of North Carolina to force their payment at this late day. In deed, a commit tee of these bond holders has written an insolent letter to the people of North Car olina, threatening that if they are not paid, the State's credit will lie attacked and ruined by them and thcirjalleys. The letter, written by one Andrews, was re plied to by ('apt. S. A. Ashe re cently, who gives the history of these bonds and showed how the robbers did their work. A full history of the events will be sent to any one who will write to Democratic Headquarters atRal cigh. From this narration, it will sufficiently Appear that the acts authorizing the issue of these of these special tax bonds were conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. They were the fruits of a conspiracy to defraud, the result of bribery aud corrup tion. In I860 North Carolina had an orderly and ef'icientgovernuient. complete in every respect, exist ing under a Constitution that had been in force ever!since 177(1, long antedating the Federal Con stitution. That constitution and government was recognized as lawful and regular by the Presi dent of the United States and by the Chief Justice; but in 1807 Congress annulled it, against our protests and against the pro tests ol the President. The conti nuity of our government w as thus broken; but "hone&t North Carolina" did tiotavail herself of that circumstance to avoid her just obligations. She has never ceased to recognize the obliga Hon of her debts she hersell had therefore created. Congress, having overthrown our constitution and govern1 tnent, established a military gov ernment over our people, direct ing the enrollment as voters of a part of ber white population and all of the negro men. These vo ters elected, under military su pervision, delegates to a conven tion, who framed a constitution, which provided for theelectionof Stnte officers and members of a Legislature, all male whites and blacks, of age, being alike voters. This constitution was submitted to the limited number of voters the military had enrolled; and at the same time this limited num ber ol voters, under military su pervision, elected State officers and members of the Legislature, about 18.000 whites entitled to vote under the Constitution be ing debarred from suffrage. Gen eral Canby called the Legislature together and appointed W. W. Holden Governor, he having been voted for at the election. Gov ernor Worth, the lawful Govern or of the State, being compelled to vacate his office onJulvl, 1868, filed a protest, speaking for North Carolina and saying that he did not recognize the va lidity of the election, as appears below. In the same month, the National Democratic party at the North declared that the gov ernment set ud by Congress iu North Caroliua (and hi other Southern States) was unconsti i . j . 1.1. and General Canby's Legislature, having conveued, on the 20th day of August, 1808, gave no tice to the world that its author ity as a lawful body was dispu ted by a resolution. At the election held in Novem ber. 18G8, the great State of New York sustained, by a majority of ten thousand votes, the doc trine that the Reconstruction government established in North Carolina wa revolutionary and a nullity. Certainly nil the "friends of North Carolina iu New York City'- held that opin ion and so declared bv their votes Every business man in New York was thus ut on notice. This Reconstruction legisla ture soon fell under thedominion of a set of free-boot th, their lea der being one Littlefield, not a resident of the State, who enter ed at once ou the business of gat boring in the spoils. By Little filed s orders, $290,000 was paid by Swepson in cash to various members, and to others interes tod; and a ring was formed who required that ten per cent of all bonds authorized should be paid to them. Twenty-six million dol lors of bonds were authorized but before all had been issued, these securities fell to a few cents on the dollar. Eventually these matters ol corruption were fully investiga ted, and some honest members ot the Legislature, ou February 20, 1870, forced through a bill directing the return of all bonds unsold to the State Treasurer; and ou March 8, 1870, repealed all acts authorizing the issue of State bonds. North Carolina has never recog nized any obligation to pay these special tax bonds, and, indeed, in 1880, by an amendment to the State Constitution, the General assembly was expressly forbid den to pay any money any mon- ev ou these bonds without first submitting the matter tothepeo pie of the State. This amend ment was adopted by almost a unanimous vote, the vote being 117,388 lor, and only 5,lo8 a gain;t the amendment. Thesame unanimity still exists. North Car olina will never recognize these bonds as her obligations. Don't Rreak Down. Severe strnins on the vital organs like strains on machinery, cause breakdowns, You can't overtax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak and run down, or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sandc, of Kirkhnul, 111., writes: "I did not break down while enduring a most severe strain for 3 months, is due wholly to Electric Bitters," Use them and enjoy health a n d enjoy health und strength.

The rambling and indefinite attacks of Republican speakers on the Deiucratic Slate adminis tration show that these orators are tinabie to put their hands upon a single failure of the party und in (he minds of thoughtful men the question is constantly arising, "Why are they sounx ious tocapturc the Legislature?"

Neatly every Southern State that was controlled by Re publicans prior to 170 was loo ted of everything in sight and bonds were issued as fast as the presses could turn them out, and the carpet-bug aud scalawag thieves in control of those State governments disposed of them for a song, for their 111 rich merit. The State got little or nothing from these issues, and when the Reconstruction knaves were driv en from power and the white peo ple came back in control of their o.' ii affairs, these fraudulent and dishonest bonds were repudiated and all men who know how they were issued approved the repudi ation. There are now outstand ing ol such ootids more than a hundred million dollars owned by syndicates who are wilhug to risk a little money to try to compel Southern States to pay them. In 1879, Colonel William L. Suuuderscstimated thatXorth Carolina owed (if the bonds were not fraudulent) seventeen million dollars on the special-tax bonds alone. Inspired by the action of Butler and Rnssel in working a fraud upon the jurisdiction uf the Supreme Court, the syndicates holding these bonds have been seeking to extort paymeut by following that precedent, which they helped to secure, for the big ger game of the special-tax bonds, to that end, theiragents have of fered to make large presents of these special-tax bonds to any istate that would bring suit a- gamst the State of North -Caro lina. They tricked the Rhode Island Legislature into accepting a donation of these fraudulent bonds in au act that compelled that State to bring suit agai.ist the State of North Carolina; but when Goveuor Kitchen brought all the facts to the attention of the Governor aud the pople of Rhode Island, the act was repeal ed, and the bonds returned. Rhode Island repudiated the at tempt to make it a collecting a gent ol fraudulent bonds. But the Bond Syudiente is no idle. It is trying to induce some other Statu to accept what Michigan New York and Rhod Islan spur ned, If they could, trough Bui ler, secur control of the Legis lature of North Carolina, (hey would not need to make dona tions and bring suits, for they are confident that the man who while Senator took a fee to prose cute a suit against his State would not hesitate as a private citizen and the lader of his party to find a way to enable them to secure money from North Caroli na for a part, at least, of the special-tax bonds. Who, in view of Butler's moral treason, while lie was Senator, believes he would hesitate to again help to sue, harass, and extort money from the State? In 1900, the" Black burn forces warned the people of North Caroliua to beware of the Butler-Pettigrew bond scheme, and in 1910 the Greensboro New?
