The Committee of Ways and Means of the'Centennial Association;? sent out a circular, which has already been published in these columns I request? nig aid to the Vrpposed ' celebration, and for the purpose of erecting a monument in honor of bur patriot fathers. One of these circulars fell in to the hands of a Northern bond hol der, and he replies in the following strain : - ?t r'" ' NEW YORK, April 14th, 1875. Dear Sib : I should be delighted to con tribute largely to the proposed 'commemor ation of the kindling of the first fire, of liber ty on American soil," but relying upon the honor of the. old State, I once invested in North Carolina bonds, and the result has been abject poverty ever since, to me and mine. The best therefore that I can do be yond wishing you much success in the cele bration, is to suggest as a theme for the orator upon the occasion, "National Honor as the only true basis of National prosperity. Yours, X. Y. Z. P. S. Would my bonds be of any nse to you in the barbecue ? This anonymous bondholder de- mands.a reply, and we should be un true toL ourself, and to onr people, did we not do it. " ' The first thing that ' occurs to us is that the honor of North Carolina has always been held sacred anibng true North Carolinians, but while we get some discredit for the low state of our finances, and our utter inability to meet some of our debts, there are facts at the bottom of it all, which will lease our honor, of which the bond holder seems to prate, as pure and in sullied as the noonday sun. At the beginning of the war there was no otate in tne uuion wnose "honor," and whose financial condi tion stood higher than our good "Old North State." Without a voice in the matter she was plunged headlong into the vortex of civil war in 1861. She followed the States North, South and West of her, by impulse, and we may say by intuition, and how she conducted herself, and .how she sus tained her "honor," is recorded on the undying pages of history, by her one hundred and fourteen thousand sol diers. . ' The war over, her sons repaired to the old homestead to find, perhaps the charred remains of what was once, "the dearest spot on earth," with the value of a hundred thousand dollar's worth of slave property totally des troyed ; with poverty and want and destitution, staring hundreds of the best men in the State, in the face We could pursue this subject further, but the heart sickens at its bare men tion, and we do not produce it now, except to show that the complaints of this bondholder, while in fact they may be true, does not raise an impu tation, as to the honor of North Caro lina. He, and such as he, taking up the refrain, of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Thurlow Weed and such as they, in . the violation of ' the constitution in the passage of "per sonal liberty bills," &c, &c, brought on the war, and made a crusade against the South, of; which the State of North Carolina, was an integral part.-.Nci. consent, with destroying the property-invested in- slaves ; not content with destroying our then credit : not content with neaping: ig- nominy and shame, as far as in them lay, upon a orave, and magnanimous foe, it remained only for tbem to send a swarm of carpet-baggers, worse than e locusts or .Egypt, to .eat out what HtUe sustenance was left to us.

THE TRUE THEORY. Col. Julian Allen has been making a tour through the Southern States, and has discovered the irue theory of why the Southern people have been pre vented from acquiring that degree of prosperity which our climate, our soil and the character of our people would seem to indicate. We take pleasure in laying before our readers the fol- owing letter from Col. A. to the New York Herald, and published in that paper on the 14th inst : Having seen your excellent editori al article, and also read the accurate descriptive letter of Mr. Charles Nord- hon in your issue 01 to-day, and nay ing but recently returned from a trip of observation South, I beg to trepass .upon your columns also in the , inter est of truth and justice, lne people of the South, by occupation tillers 01 the soil, are naturally more confiding than we in the North who are chasing for the almighty dollar, regardless of any other consideration a sentiment which has so corrupted us, that we have become crafty, sharp and at a very low grade of morality as well as religion. While the whole ot us are bad enough there are still degrees of depravity, and the lowest of our peo ple, soon alter the war, rushed upon those unfortunate Southerners with all the rapacity of liungry wolves after a dying animal, deceiving the colored people, betraying and despoiling tne whites. I hey lound a ready means 01 enriching themselves to such an ex tent that it seems now as if the spolia tors could do no more than to rob the dead of the pennies to cover their eyes, and kick the corpses oecause they had only two optics apiece. lhank Heaven the people ot the North and South are finding out, though already' so much damage is done, that to bring prosperity once more home to all this country, more especially to the South, where they. need it most, we must know each oth er, know each other's wants and exert ourselves honestly in the matter to protect it, be it white or black justice. One unfortunate and mighty draw back to prosperity at present any where in this Union is that the ad- ministration'of President Grant is at enmity with the South and shuts its eyesto the true needs of the Southern people. . 1 am convinced or such tacts by my own knowledge and the many declared assertions of the President on these subjects and finding the ac tual state of things in the boutli. sup pose the North had been so unfortun ate as to make a mistaken rebellion and we had lost - our wealth, spirits and other things that go to make prosperity and happiness and then a swarm of unprincipled robbers should come here and entirely disrupt all lo cal affairs, d3ceive our laborers, al most inciting them to -insurrection, disorganize our quiet, as the carpet baggers have done bouth, would we tamely submit? No! Would we not donote them a dress that would re semble a buzzard more than a fash" ionable Broadway suit? Very quick ly we would do so. Would General Grant attempt to declare martial law? would he attempt to send soldiers? No, no ! Then let us do to our poor sisters as we would have tbem do to us. I bear witness to the truth of your article. Respectfully yours, Julias Allen. New York. April 9, 1875. Beecher confided to Eli" Perkins (wh is trying to write an intelligent view of the Brooklyn trial to the Chi cagd "Inter-Ocean") his opinion about Frank Carpenter, who will testify for the plaintiff. Said Beecher : Well, in London bar-rooms they have a long tin trough behind the bar into which the bar-tender pours the leavings from th& sodardrinker's turn bier. If a man-drinks gin, down goes the gin rinsiirgs into the -trough. If he drinks beer then the beer rinsings run into the trough. At the end of this tin trough is a wooden tub into which all this debris from the bar runs, and they call it "all sorts." That is Frank Carpenter, arid "he is full and running over with second-hand rinso tngs and leavings and gleanings from the small beer and soda-water Con coctions of Frank or Theodore. The Northern Dress taking its cue irom a -malicious slander of the re sentful Senator Morton, who was not over-cordially welcomed when there recently, is bewailing the fate of New Orleans under the caption of "The Dying City." Now, this is all non sense. New Orleans is no more, dy ing than any other . com ra ercial city. In fact, she has scarcely begun to live, yet. Radicalism, or rather Grantism, has done all it could to trample the life out of the noble city, and would have succeeded but for its splendid hysique; and wonderful vitality. here id no danger now. having pass ed through the purifying fires and still kept the faith, that New Orleans wilt ever tlie.

The following is from advance sheets of volume III of Bancroft's Native Kaces'l being the Aztec's idea of the origin of, man: ,' f- - 5r fl The Mexicans in niost of the? prov inces where agreed that there was a God in Heaven called Citlalatonac. and a goddess called Citlaiicue; and that this goddess had given birth to a flint knife, TecpatL Now she had many sons living with her in Heaven, who seeing this "extr ordinary, thing were alarmed, and 'flung, the flint down to the earth. It fell in a placgl called vnicomoztoc, that is to say the Seven Caves, and there immediately sprang up from it one thousand six hundred gods. These gods being alone on the earth though asrwlll hereafter appear, there had been men in the world at a former period sent up their messenger Tlotli, the Hawk, to pray their mother to empower them to create men. so that they might have servants as became their lineage. Citlaiicue seemed to be a lit tle ashamed of these sons of hers, born in so strange a manner, and she twitted them cruelly enough on what they could hardly help. Had you been what you ought to .have been, she exclaimed, you would still be in my company. Nevertheless she told them what to do in the matter of ob taining their desire: Go beg of Mict- anteuctli, Lord of Hades, that he may give you a Done or some, ashes of the (tad that are with him; which having received you shall isacrihce over it, sprinkling blood from your own bod-. lea. And the fallen gods having con sulted together, sent one of their num ber called Xolotl, down to Hades as their mother had advised. He suc ceeded in getting a bone of six feet ong trom Mictlonteucth: and then, wary ol his grisly host, he took an ab rupt departure, running at the top of his speed. Wroth at this, the infernal chief gave chase; not causing to Xol oti, however, any more serious incon venience than a hasty fall in which the bone was broken in pieces. The messenger gathered up what he could in all haste, and despite his stumble made his escape. Reaching the earth he put the fragments of bone into a basin, and an the gods drew blood from their bodies and sprinkled it in to the vessel. On the fourth dav there was a movement among the wetted bones, and a boy lay there before all, and in four days more, the blood let ting and sprinkling being still kept up a girl Was lifted from the ghastly dish. The children were given to Xoloti to bring up, and he led them on the uice oi the maguey. Increasing in stature they became man and woman' and from them are the people of th3 present day descended, who, even as the primordial bone was broken iuto unequal pieces, vary in size and shape. The name of this first man was Iztac mixcunti, and the name of his wife Hanceuitl, and they had six sons born to them, whose descendants, which their god-masters, in process of time moved eastward from their original home, almost universally described as having been towards Jalisco. Another Ox That Was Gored. To the Editor of the Courier-Journal. Our "3,500 murderers" in Louisiana seem suddenly to have faded out of memory. No allusions whatever are made to them. Why ? Was it a myth, a Munchausen inspiration of the good old General, v or something good, gotton up for a certain purpose ? It certainly was a fine thing for Congres sional orators; certain editors and Nothern preachers. (Dr. Swing expounded andswungon itgloriously.) cut it, and our Louisiana "banditti, have died out; mortuum est. This mystified us, until it was discovered that Baron Munchausen's arithmetic manufactured the numbers, and that 80 or 90 per cent, of the murders were prepetrated by Kepublican voters (negroes,) and 95 percent, of the thefts and robberies, whereupon Republican orators, editors and preachers sudden ly grew silent. loi isiana. Mas Killed. We learn that a man by the name of John Ragle was shot and killed, in what is known as the Horse Cove in the upper part of Jack son county on Thursday of last week. The facts as we have heard them are about as follows: Deputy Marshals Franks and All- man, in company with U. S. Co mm is sioner Allison, and Ragle as a guard, went into the upper part of Jackson for the purpose of suppressing some illicit distilleries in that section, and were waylaid by parties in ambush, who fired upon the officers and guard. Ragle was shot through the head and instantly killed. The parties who did the killing are-jyet unknown. Ihe officers had just torn up an illicit dis tillery before they were attacked. ywestern Expositor. Rule in Admiralty Judge Hughes has made the following standing rule in Admiralty: "Ordered that sales of vessels under orders in Admiralty shall be subject to confirmation by the court. The Marshal shall file with the clerk, on the day of making any sale, his report of the same; which shall lie two days after the filing for exceptions. If there be no exceptions the sale shall stand as of course. If there be exceptions within two days. the cieric snairat puce suomit tne re port and exceptions to the court. In adequacy of price shall be a ground of exception. The Marshal may decline to knock down a vessel to the highest bidder, when the highest price is grossly inadequate." The Scottsville (Ky.)
