CIIAS. . JONES, Editor 4c Proprietor ENTXKSD IT THE POOT-OFFICB AT CHABIXWTB, N; C:, 13 SS00ND-CLA89 MATTM. ' , ' ' SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1870. i NOItTII CABOtfwA'ANP THE PEA BODY FUND. As the telegraph has informed hej reader, the trustees of the Feabody? fund were in session several days of last week in New York city. .The full, report of the proceedings furnishes some points . of, considerable interest For instance, we note that tlie total ap propriations for 1878 for the education of children in tlie Southern States, amounted to $74,850. Of this amount the children of North Carolina received $6,700. The following is an extract from Dr. Sear's report: Tn North Carolina 82,054 of 273,707 white children, and 50,499 of 148,613 col ored children, attended the schools on au average in 1878. The University Normal School at Chapel Hill is pros perous. The colored Normal School at Fayetteville was organized in 1877, and has had an average attendance of 70 throughout the year. Teachers are paid so badly that it is difficttlt- to lr$&dg young men to learn to teach. "S V? ; There is a good deal that is humiliat ing to North Carolinians in the above paragraph, and yet the whole truth is riot told. Though the average of chilr dren that attend school in this State is pmall compared with the whole num ber, the case is made thd"wbrse when it js known, that of;jthoae who do atteu th.6 averdjge period Jo? attendance i&bpi low tjiree months of ilie twelve.' If ; a State is to be judged by the jntejfligenpe of Its people, and this is measured by their educational facilities, it is no wonder North Carolina ranks low a.mong the sisterhood. While our edu cated people ave as well educated as any, and do credit to their State when they go abroad, it is a deplorable fact (hat there, is more popular ignorance in North Carolina than in any other State of the American Union. As long as this is the ease, just so long will our State rank low in the scale of being." JUST THE AMOlIV f OF IT. The Winston Sentinel says : Much has been said in the papers about the exercise of the pardoning power by our Governors. Holden, Cald well and Brogden abused this power by turning loose from the penitentiary more convicts than all the Governors of North Carolina before them. When Gov. Vance succeeded he made frequent and free use of this prerogative, and in some cases was justly censured by the press. After Vance -comes Jar vis, who unlike his predecessors, has steadfastly refused, except in two instances when be commuted the death sentence to im prisonment for life, to interfere with the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the court, and he has been just as soundly abused for not doing the very thing the other Governors were abused for doing. So it seems there is no high way to public favor by way of the peni tentiary orjjallows. None whatever. A Governor may pardon ajid commute few or many or none at all, and in any evefct bejtfill abused by thoughtless people who know little or nothing of the facts of any of the cases upon which he may act, and who do not realize that this power of pardon and commutation is the most sacred and responsible of all those vest ed in the Governor. A Possible Dilemma. Let us an ticipate a possible contingency : North ern Republican .newspapers,' notably the New' York Tribune, are harping strongly upon "Southern repudiation." A contest is now in' prdgtfessUii Vir ginia over the question of the settle ment of the State debt. The Demo cratic (or, as it is known over there, the Conservative) party is divided between a settlement which will be satisfactory to the creditors, and "forcible re-adjustment," which means partial repudia tion. The Republicans will probably hold the balance of power, and it is feared by those who are advocating the McCulloch bill that the negroes will go so solidly for repudiation as to defeat the scheme for a satisfactory settle ment. Now, if they should, whatwill the Northern press say about it'? It cannot charge, the . result to the shot gun policy for a majority of the "rebel Democracy'!; favor, the settlement; it cannot charge it lb .the innate cussed?' ness of the negro" for it has argued all these years to show how much better man he is than the Southern white. What would be the exact nature of the explanation it puzzles us'to Conjectute,' and we await tbe result in "Virginia1 with impatience to find out. . - arfi"- - M "Cotton Movements and Fluctua tions."

STATE BIGHTS. . , , , t sentiments, SLdwlit ja sai is well I! au ;,i that wfflHmt.fhflui article as? our of some days ago : "Oue might snppose from what is daily seeu in the papers of the Republi can party, that the claim heretofore known Estate's rights, as now under embodiment of treason against repuD- lican institutions. 1 f f g "Sinceytho war, every leading South ern man who intimated that his State had any rights, independentrof the Fed eral government, haB been denounced as arebfelby tli& school now ruling the Radical party. Even Mr. Hayes has the effrontery to reflect on the Southern leaders in this regard, and, yet the Republicans on the electoral commission, hid the fraud by which he holds aii bfiio$ to which life jsvpfc nbt feleict-; ed, behind the doctrine of State's rights in its most violent form, that of pure independent State sovereingty. These shifts and turns of the Republican par ty show that with it political principle is nothing that power and place, at any sacrifice of principle and any use pf money, is its policy. And jej; the lawlessness and .corruptiorS di fW party, the worthlessness of its promises? its cant, hypocrisy and cunning, have failed to learn the Democratic party the ab solute necessity of calling to its aid every element of dissatfacjion in the ranks of its enemies, however slight. - "So we see Democratic -folly i a the Tammany scenes, in New York, stupidi ty in Majne aS2ff?afifojfr& and nearly;; its much in Virginia a& jrther South ern States.

Yet we see, at least, gome of the people wlo have no person al or pecuniary interest in politics, will ing to divide the Democratic party, af filiate with colored Radicals in a cam paign upon issues that cannot benefit the State or relieve the people of a sin gle burden." COt. HOLT AJVIJi -THj5 lNDEPES DEVrBOOTf. It seems to be generally considered that Col. Thos. M. Holt was the gentle man referred to in The Observer's Washington correspondence of recent date, as the person who is to lead an independent boom in this State next year. The Raleigh News has given an authoritative denial of the truth of the intimation, and the Raleigh Observer has expressed its entire disbelief of it. Writing to the paper last mentioned, and copying.from its expression of en tire confidence in his party loyalty, Col. Holt adds to this expression the follow ing: , ZVoac.t of my life givs warrant of any other opinion of meL . My attachment to the Democratic party and its principles is founded up ,onthe conviction. thatit is, the only constitutional party of the country. I have nq sympathy fwith indepen dentlsntkorritli holtetsjf partvrmalnj nattfltrfa.'1 u ;V is " -'. iiMr The office of Governor of our grand old State is far too honorable to be sought by the devious ways of Indepen dentism, and while any of her sons would be honored by the place fairly attained, for myself, and for all time, I say would not Jiave it, except tbrough the unsolicited action of the regular Rarty organization, of which I am a member.1 ' iThus tendered ' the honor would satisfy my highest ambition. This is as . direct ancfc explicit as it could possibly be, and It-MfiVufrat rest for all time any apprehensions which may haye existed: upon tie sublet fof Col. Holt's connection with any ihde pendentmovement. "Adyentwrers and pilferers masquer ading in the name of Republicanism," is the characterization which the Utica (N. Y.) Herald, Senator Conkling or gan, puts upon the adherents of the Republican party in the Southern States., With thisrand upon them tbe Southern Republicans will douriiess enter the next national campaign with a great deal of spirit There is every thing inspiring in working for the par ty when one nows that the party en tertains thitf high opinion of one's ehar acter and motives. . - The Boston Post says: "The tone of Democratic papers throughout the boon try is encouraging.
