MR. POTTER'S BILL.
Mr. Potter, of New York, has in
troduced a bill in Congress for the
refunding of the government bonds
into 2i per cents, the pbject of which
is to "preserve in full usefulness our
National Banking system, while the
National debt may last." Mr. Potter
believes that the 2i per cent bonds
will never fall below par, but will re
main a stable, unfluctuating basis for
the currency, and provide for its per
manency and stability in the best
practicable way as long as sufficient
of our debt for this purpose remains.
The Dremium to whif.Vi tV x nor
cent bonds will be entitled under sec
tion 3 is, at the present time, 22. 78 per
cent,, and that to which the 4 per
cent bonds will be entitled is 12.90
per cent.
If 4 per cent is too high an interest
for the government to realize in pur
chasing the future interest annuities,
as provided in section 3, this rate is
subject to such modification as Con
gress may think just. As the gov
ernment is continuing a loan from the
holders of its bonds at 2i Der cent.
perhaps 3 per cent may be an ade
quate rate to realize in anticipating
its obligations for interest. At 3 per
cent quarterly compounded realized
to the government, the premium to
be paid in the exchange is 25.38 per
cent upon 4 per cent bonds, and 13 38
per cent upon 4J per cent bonds.
He holds that his bill will accom
plish the following results :
1. Early refunding of the bonded
debt at 2i per cent.
. ihis method of refunding instead
of increasing the premium upon high
interest oonas wui, Dy reducing a
bonds to uniform moderate interest,
bring them in reach for purchase by
the government at a reasonable ad
vance above par when desired.
3. Funds applicable to pavment of
the national debt will be applied first
to paying that part most burdensome
to the country. This will make the
tax paid by the banks their own pro
tection against call and payment of
their bonds, which will be the last
paid.
4. Government funds will be eco
nomically applied in payment of the
national debt. By paying 3 per cent
bonds held by banks, aDd thus with
drawing the securities for national
bank currency, . the government now
realizes, deducting circulation tax,
but 2.13 per cent interest upon its
payments. Under this bill it will
realize 3 to 4 per cent, (according to
the rate charged upon anticipated in
terest annuities) and will avoid dis
turbance of the currency and busi
ness of the country, unnecessarily
and prematurely. A savingftf many
millions will be made to the country
by payment of the debt as this bill
provides in interest alone. But the
saving to be made by this mode of
payment upon the principle of the
debt, as compared with the present
mode in connection with such legisla
tion as is now proposed in the Senate,
in case the government shall wish to
extinguish the debt by purchase be
fore maturity, will not be less than
10 percent, and probably much more,
upon the whole amount of the debt so
extinguished.
5. It deals justly and equally with
all banks, and with all holders of
bonds, and does not subject the hold
ers of 3 per cents to the demands of
the holders of long term bonds, nor
compel purchase of these bonds by
bank? at high premium.
6. It leaves all the debts within the
government's r:ach for payment as
now, but, by reducing premium and
interest upon the bonds, makes its
payment less imperative and its bur
den lighter to bear. It extends no
part of the debt.
It will remain to be decided here
after whether the National Banking
system shall be continued. All he
hopes to effect by this bill is that it
shall continue in full usefulness while
our national debt remains.
The Senate has been for several
days discussing the McPherson bank
currency bill, to which numerous
amendments, and sons of them of
very wide range, have been offered,
but there is such a wide difference of
opinion that it is not easy to say
exactly in what shape that bill will
pass the Senate.
Something must be done with this
currency ques'ion by tha present
Congress, for it is one of vast impor
tance not only to the banks but to the
business interests of the country.
theheurlahkkk resolution.
As the action of Prince Bismarck
in returning the resolution passed by
Congress on the death of Herr Las
ker is leading to no little comment
not only in this country but in Eu
rope, we reproduce it. It was intro
duced by Hon. T. P. Ochiltree on the
9th of January last, and passed with
out objection, as follows :
Resolved, That the House has heard
with deep regret of the death of the
eminent German statesman, Edward
Lasker.
"That his loss is not alone to be
mourned by the people of his native
land, where his firm and constant
exposition of and devotion to free
and liberal ideas has materially ad
vanced the social, political and eco
nomic condition of those people, but
iry the5 lovers of liberty throughout
the world. , .
; p'That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the family of the de
ceased as well as to the minister of
the United States, resident at the
capital of the German Empire, to be
bj him communicated through the
legitimate channel to the presiding
omcer 01 the legislative body of which
ne was a member.
This Prince Bismarck declined to
present to the Reichstag, of which
Herr Lasker had been a member, and
unceremoniously enclosed it to the
German minister in this country,
giving his reason for so doing, the
reason being that Herr Lasker did
not occupy such a position inGer
many as to entitle him to such post
mortem notice.

MOCKBVTLLE, N. C, i
February 25th, 1884.
To tht Editor of It observer.
There is a project on foot at this time
to secure a iuna sumcient to erect a
suitable building for a school house
to be taught by competent teachers,
uope it may be a success. Yet I am
doubtful for this reason: Those own
ing land suitable tor a site are asking
juou uiuco w luuuii lur it as it 18
worth. The committee would be wil
ling to pay twice as much as the land
is assessed at per acre by the late
Doara 01 valuation. This proyes
most conclusively to my mind that
there are men in nearly every com
munity, that are a deadlock- to the
community in which they live, espe
cially if they have a hold on a goodly
portion of real estate. If you wish
to see anv dace 6TO down ftnrl hfipnmo
like the rums of Babylon, whose very
waus are innaoitea Dy tne owls and
bats, let those ownine real estate
there, or in the suburbs, ask twice as
much for building lots as they are
worth, and the growth of said Dlaee
is as effectually killed and doomed,
as though a great nestilenra that
walketh at night and wasteth awav at
noon day was prevalent and raging
among its inhabitants. It does lonlr
a little like the hand writing, on the
wans ui aiocKsviue, 13 tnat or- Mene,
Mene, Tekel Unharsin." or th wrath
of the Almighty was being poured
out upon its citizens like that of Cor
azin of the planes of J udea.
How shall we avert these dire o-
amities that are upon us? The first
railroad enterprise in 1856 was thwart
ed by one man then; the next rail
road scheme was butchered bv one
man's action, the next and last pro
ject was killed by one man. Now
under all these combined efforts to
keep Mocksville and the citizens of
Davie down in the valley of affliction,
wnat is oest ior us to do? Call upon
Prometheus to send down the fires
from Heaven and consume the Annans
and Ahabs in our midst. If any ne
my is in the camp, do not the powers
that be in authority order their de
struction or exilement, and why not
we pray for the transportation from
ouri borders of those who would do
us evil? The Achans are not alt dead
yet, neither is all the races of Ishamel
departed, nor are all the descendants of j
King Ahab gone beyond the Mesopotamia.-
The golden wedge is hidden !
under some one's tent. The hand of
Ishmael is seen in open day-light.
And Naboth's garden 13 too tempting
(o escape the eye of the men who
worship Mammons gold. Pardon me
for digressing I The only way to se
cure a scnool or high grade among
us is to ask the county commission
sioners to allow the citizens, (whites)
to vote to lay off a school district two
and onerhaif (2$) miles from the court
house each way, north, south, east
and west to be a perfect square, to
contain 15,434 acres of land outside
of the corporate limits of the town,
which is valued at $100,000 together
with the ether property, and the
value of town property $100,000,
making a total value of $200,000.
(two hundred thousand dollars.) Then
let us vote to allow the county com
missioners to tax us at the rate of eigh
teen (18) cents on each $100 worth of
property, which will raise the sum
of $3,600. Then let the committee to
be elected by the vctes, borrow $5,000
at 6 per centum per annum and issue
graded scnool bond?, running twenty
years, with the interest payable semi
annually, and with this amount buy
a lot and erect a brick building that
will be an ornament to our place;
and then you may expect to see a
school of high grade in your midst,
and not before, I fear. I am anxious
to see the present project a success,
but there is. some very great fear
about it. Think about this fellow
citizens of Mocksville, and you who
will be included in this radius of two
and a half miles from the court house.
Talk to your neighbor about it, and
let it be the conversation of the fam
ily around the fireside, and then let
us have the petition before the com
missioners at their meeting on the
first Monday in March.

WASHrooToiT, Fb. 38. It is Chi
cago and July 8. Last night andto-
uay tne suoject or the convention
and its nominees is very freely de
bated in all quarters. The general
leeung is one or sausraction, although
there are some who still think that
two conventions ought not to be
neia in the same place the year. St
ljouis men are naturallv sore nd
attribute their defeat to two causes
tne rear o Tilden's nomination and
tne open support of the Morrison
men. McDonald scores a victory in
the choice of Chicago, but it is not
such a one as secures the final victo
ry. Really the place will have little
errect upon the nomination, for it is
everywhere conceded that if Tilden
works for the nomination he can get
it without much trouble. It is also
conceded that if nominated, cipher
dispatches or no cipher dispatches, he
will be elected. One of the St. Louis
delegates told me this affernoon that
a friend of Tilden's in the West had
gone to New York this morning to
secure an audience with uncle Sam
uel and, if possible, his consent to the
use of his name as a candidate for
the nomination. This was to be that
conclusion about the whole matter"
about which we have all heard so
much of late vears. Tilden is hehW-
ed to be desirous of the nomination
if tendered unanimously and with
spontaniety. His pride has been
wounded, and he exnects nothino
less than the withdrawal of favor
from all others and concentration
upon himself as the savior of the
party. He will not be gratified. At
present the McDonald boom is
strongest, and the preponderance of
opinion for a Western condidate is
seen is seen in the fact that a very
lively movement in behalf of Morri
son iuns counter to the ex-Senator.
Thurman is named reverentially, but
not in such a serious manner as to
indicate anything. Payne is the
monopoly and the Ohio candidate.
Randall is the favorite of those old
stagers who never see the time of
day until the clock points beyond the
expected, but also of some new pro
tectionists in the Southern States.
Bayard is named everywhere with
high respect, but while his election
if nominated is granted, it is felt that
it will be almost impossible
to nominate him unless New
York were to stop fooling
over Flower and unite upon the one
S'et and popular man of the East,
orsheimer is gaining in public favor.
and his name is frequently linked
with others for the Vice Presidencv.
H8 is even recognized as a Presiden
tial possibility. A pure, able, digni
fied man, he is not identified with the
city fathers, and if they would agree,
could be nominated. But.
There is nothing talked of to-dav
but the nomination, four months off.
Availability is the main point cTisctlfc.
sed. "Oh, if the West had one man
different from and essentially greater
than any or those in the held, how
easy it would be to nominate and
elect him." So said a gentleman this
morn. Another, "Bayard is stronger
than any of those named." "But he
has no State to back him." "That is
what is the matter. We nominate
States not men, under the present
dispensation,"
There is one feature of this gossip
whice is noteworthy. "What, ob
served a shrewd observer this morn
ing, "seems almost incredible is the
great but as yet shadowing figure of
Carlisle in all these foreglimpses. He
is not a candidate, has no agents or
fuglemen, goes quietly with his du
tieSj but many thoughtful men are
asking why, if the right man can't be
found in the region known as the
West, a Western-Southern man acci
dentally placed south of the great
river boundary, a Union man during
the war the Coryphaeus of revenue
reformers, should not be chosen by
the reform elements of all sections
uniting upon him as the fittest because
most popular and greatest candidate?
Suppose," said he, "New England
some man from Boston, for instance,
puts him in nomination at the right
moment, what is to prevent his nom
ination if his friends are not timid
and throw away the best chance in
the history of the party."
I talked some time yesterday with
a prominent Republican who is not
now in active politics. He is a friend
of Keogh, and thinks the Senate will
confirm his nemination The "hitch,"
he says, is over, certainly as to Ke
ogh and most probably as to Wheeler.
This gentleman states, what is con
trary to positive declarations of some
of the gentlemen to me within the
last few days, that all the Democrat
ic members from North Carolina are
in their favor. The friends of Keogh
generally are confident, and he him
self professes to have no doubts. The
Republican alluded to is detained hero
from business of urgency by special
request of the marshal. This fact
shows that the line of danger has not
been passed.
Southern Republicans are watching
Mr. Edmunds. Some of them are
very bitter in their thinly veiled at
tacks on him for pretending- to be a
candidate and at the same time being
governed by the desire for the nomi
nation. They are apt to conclude in
such a strain as this : "It - will come
to nothing. He will not be chosen
for he is too cold and selfish. Arthur
is the best manager the ' Republicans
have, as Tilden is the best leader of
the Democrats.
Col. Green thinks thatihe JIIornson
bill will be amended slightly and will
pass the House without difficulty.
He is not without hope of its passage
the Senate. Whether or no it pass
that body, its passage through the
House by something like the average
Democratic vote will be is itself a good
platform for the Democracy.
Col. Green says generally that leg
islation is pretty well advanced, in
which opinion he is opposed by some
other Democrats, notably the chair
man of the Banking and Currency
Committee. ,

my family trom Canada over a year

as ne wisnes me to write concerning

by saying that this college, villas

"Rutherford College," situated in

shoemakers &c. Regular religious
services on Sunday and Sunday
school. The villagers, citizens if you
please, are kind and friendly.
The college is a goodly edifice,
healthfully situated, and is presided
over by the Rev. R. L. Abernethy, A.
M. D. D., a man of great will power,
and energy, who together with an
efficient staff of Professors combine
not only to teach the "young idea
how to shoot," but older ones to go
on and finish in a superior manner
an education perhaps begun else
where. Tuition fees very moderate :
boarding houses abundant.
lhe college was originally intended
for males only, but a female depart
ment was added many years ago
wherein little girls and young wo
men sre thoroughly taught, and
their health and morals carefully at
tended to. Miss J . C. Wade, of Co
lumbia, S. C, an exemplary lady,
has charge of the female students and
the calisthenic class. All who are
intending to send their daughters to
school some day should do so now,
as she may not always remain here.
I feel particularly interested in the
female department also, my daugh
ters having ample opportunity of
availing themselves of collegiate in
struction. But I must not be too
lengthy, therefore permit me to re
mark that I had read and heard of
"Southern hospitality" and that the
strangers and loreigners "would here
a hearty welcome find." This is
truly .our experience since coming
South, and were it not for the heated
term and fear of reptiles we would
be happy. The friendliness of the
people is just as represented.
