"Phil Reynolds, she said, and her voice rang out on the mountain air as clear as a silver bell, 'you have murdered my father, though I -begged 'you to spare his life. As -.sure. as God lets rue live I will kill you for this deed !' Reynolds was fairly cowed for a mo ment. Perhaps he felt the enormity of his crime; perhaps the words and the tone of the orphan girl cut him to the quick. lie made no reply, but picked up his pistol, and hastily began to load it, as if he meant to complete the work f exter minating the Garths, and at the same time to get rid of the witness. Rut Lottie turned and galloped away, and was soon out of his reach and sight. Lnttie Garth did not expect that the slayer of her father would be punished by law, and he was not. He was arrested and held to hail, but was never brought ti tr'-!. ; " The feeling was that such a feud must have such an ending, ad that it was a matter of little consequence whether 1 Rey nolds killed Garth or Garth killed Rey nolds, though there was more sympathy with the latter than the former, on poli tical grounds. The girl gave her testimony ;.t the in quest, saw that her father was properly buried, and then bade farewell to her few friends in the neighborhood, after putting the Garth farm in the hands of aruagent to be disposed of. It was understood that she had returned to Indiana.

Those who desire a redaction of duty on steel rails are getting impatient at th? .'"IflV'Ot trie committee or -wavs ana ' m making a report upon that sub A weftera democratic congressman. .jo never neonates to taite trie leaa oa r , any question upon occasions, remarked to day that he would wait a week or two tor the committee to act, and it there be then no prospect of an early report he will in troduce a. bill to reduce the duty to ftii- teen dollars, nod .sfc ln . T9XV& wo aid report at once, be cfsaks the v-overt hill would receive a two-thirds vote. De lays do it no good. - Recently symptoms of opposition have eome from the South through influence brought to bear by in dividuals interested in developing iron manufacturing in Virginia and other southern States. It is believed by this congressman and other experienced poli ticians in Congress that the South is even now undergoing a gradual change of sen timent upon the question of free trade, because of the rapid extension of its man ufacturing enterprises, which have sprung up since the war in Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas; and that within ten years t he South will bo demanding pro tection for her iron, cotton and other in dustries. ..When the committee of ways and means were her ring argument on the steel-rail matter Chairman Wood announced that he had received petitions from railroad companies all over the country asking for reduction. Mr. Storrs. of counsel for the steel manufacturers, promised to send him petitions from companies owning at least ten thousand miles of railroad, aud he has more than redeemed his promise. Peti tions from companies owningnearly fifteen thousand mile? have been set to the Sen ate. The burden of their prayers is that reduction would be injurious to industries and to transportation interests. Since Buckner introduced a bill for the reduction of the duties on paper that sub ject had been privately discussed a good deal, and seme are willing to admit paper duty free.- Mr. Buckner does not think it would be wise to go that far. as it would impair the revenue of the Government and unnecessarily injure home manufac tures. All that he will insistupon is that the duty shall be reduced sufficiently to allow foreign manufacturers to compete with American goods and force down prices, which, it is thought, and the result of combinations among manufacturers rather than of any considerabte increase in the price of labor or materials. The chances of Washington to secure the national democratic convention sppear to be declining even in the estimation of those who desired it. Prof. Baird gave the House committee on public buildings an exca-c to reject Mr. Bliss's resolution to allow the convention to use the Na tional Museum building, which is,-nearly completed, and there is no other building ia tne city that c-nt id accrtrn rrroat.tr; th convention except the Market Hall, ong-.naliy designed for inauguration bails, but no", used for that purpose. Cincinnati has an active committee of politicians at work here in her interest, and they ' have the benefit of the counsel and assist ance of John G. Thompson, who is a member of the national committee. Brairg, of Wisconsin, says he will vote for Chi-! cago first and for Cincinnati as second choice. These two places are certainly the favorites. The Fitz-John Porter case has assumed a new phase as a result of a canvass of the Senate by his friends. The best law yer in the Senate intimated an unwilling ness to support the military committee's bill because it assumed the right of Con gress to re-appoint Porter to the army, a 1 power that rests with the President. Sen ator Randolph, who champions Porter, has introduced a new bill authorizing the! President in his discretion to restore him to the armyr with rank and pay of a col onel of infantry, from the date of his dis missal January, 1S63; or to place him on the retired list. Republicans will not se riously oppose this except as to the back pa v, which would amount to about $50,000. The House committee on elections hesi tates to adopt the sub committee's report in favor of unseating Washburne, of Min nesota.1.. Speer, of Georgia, and Clark, of New ir0rk, democrats, arc counted upon to vote with the republicans of the com mittee. Mr. Speer absented himself from the committee meeting yesterday, and the republicans are patting him on the back at every opportunity. . Since Ward, of Pennsylvania, got a favorable report upon his hill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to ser.d a vessel to Ireland with supplies for the famine stricken, two similar propositions have been laid before the Senate. The scheme is to purchase looa in the united fctates, where it is cheaper than in England, and distribute it directly among the destitute without the intervention of middle men or relief committees. : Senators' Withers, -and Jones, of Flo rida, and Mr. G' Connor, of South Caro lina, addressed a meeting of citizens of Alexandria Monday night in relation to the destitution of Ireland and the duties ot the hour. The committees on ways and means have agreed to make some changes in the new refunding bill. The rate of 3-Vper cent, js to be fixed forall of the refunding bonds (instead of 4 per cent- on the two hundred millions and the two hundred millions are to be redeemed after two and and within ten years, instead of an annual instalments of forty millions for five years. The President sent to the House a communication in relation to an unofficial conference ot eminent scientific men from the-principal countries of Europe, con cerning polar explorations. The confer ence was held at Hamburg, Germany, last October, the United States not being represented at all. and it was agreed that scientific explorations of the polar regions should be made under the auspices of the great'Powers of Europe and America; and that the would use their influence to se cure co-operation and assistance from their respective governments. They were of opinion that settlements in polar lati tudes with a view to explorations should begin in 18S1 and 1882, aDd that E'russia would undertake to make a settlement and scientrncexploration of eastern Gieenland; Norway and Sweden on Spitzbergeu Isb.nd; France on the islands of the An ta' tie ocean, and the United States should establish a settlement on Cape Barron for scientific exploration ot portions of North ern America. Count Lewenhaupt, minister from Swe den and Norway, has lately addressed a note to the btate Department asking to il VSSonrrTatg posed concerted exploration. ihe committee on epidemic diseases proposes an international sanitary confer ence to bring about co-operation by the principal maritime powers under sanitary regulations of general application. Sherman's managers here have ordered several thousand copies of Sherman's cam paign biography to be sent from Cincin cinnati for distribution in this city. The National Blaine Club have opened headquarters in a spacious second story room on F street, near the Ebbit House, and thrust out of a window a transparency bearing the name of tho club. BADGEBIHG A SENATOR ' 'SfkMS'SS. sT Stalwart Telling of the Exodus. IFashingrton Port, Feb. 19th. The room in which Senator Yoorhees' Exodus committee met yesterday was thronged and there was a full committee, prob'ibly in anticipation-fof the rich de velopments John B. Syphax, ; a Republican e-Assem'blyman and present who proved rather erratic, and evervbodv J justice or ine peace or Arlington, v a. experienced relief when he left the' stand, His testimony was to the etTec hai h knew nothing of thi origin of the expcV exCCTHinn' renaf-nr V intinJn' -rn.'1 tlns''TVJrm, ed that wit- tiess hesirtilv "hdrtraorl tha mnrelnonf ntA C that Senator Windom had said that when he urged it he desired to have in his hand the indorsements of five hundred repre sentative colored men. W-tness then read a letter written by h;m to Senator Windom, and published ;f the Post, which was a somewhat remarkable docu ment. At its close he was passed over to Senator Windom, atd the only pun gent feature of the cross-examination, was the following spicy passage of words : Senator Windom Have you any luna tic asylums in Virginia where colored peo ple are admitted ? Witness Yes; if the Senator will come into my country we will send him there, even if he is a Senator of the Uni ted States. Laugh ter.j "How did you escape i hem ?" "They let me go to interview you. and get .vou in. Laughter. After a further colloquial conflict. Sen ator Yoorhees interposed, and in reply to Senator Windom that witness had sworn he escaped from a lunatic asylum, said to witness : "You only said that in a ban tering way, did you not?" Witness re plied, "yes." "And you are a justice of the peace, elected by the Republican par ty (to Senator Windoml and -bout, the best 1 have seen. " Joseph Adams, colored, of Goldsboro. took the chair and detailed how he start ed for Indiana three weeks ago, but was stranded in Washington for lack of funds to get further west. A returning exodus ter told him it was no use to go to Indi ana unless he had pleutv of monev. so now as soon as he could get sufficient tunas he should return home. Lvaris, a negro leader in Goldsboro, told tne ne groes that the two races associated to gether in Indiana, and any good-looking colored man could marry a white woman as soon as a colored one. Laughter. He had been working steadily in North Carolina for eight years at $10 and $12 per month, with house, fuel, &c, and as much land as he could cultivate with a horse and plow. He was allowed alter nate Saturday afternoons to till this land and could have accumulated $? or $4 per month, except that he ran through it. V, Hon. R. C. Badger, f Raleigh, N. C, the closing witness, Administered the oath to himself as follows : "I appeal to the God of Nature that the testimony I "nan give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," which elicited inquiries from the members of the committee. Mr. Badger explained that the only God he knew was the "God of Nature." Mr. Blair Well, I suppose -we will take the testimony for what it is worth. Gov. Vance That is all we take any of it f ir. Mr. Badger, who is a well known stal wart, testis ed that the negroes of North Carolina were gradually developing and improving, and are beginning to accumu late property and to be self-reliant. The relations between the races are as pleas ant as can be expected. The solicitor of his county, a colored man, held that there is no race distinction in the, courts, bnthe thought that in petty cases ne groes were convicted on weaker evidence than whites. There was no local reason for the exodus, and the negroes can not1 compete with the white labor of Indiana. In North Carolina they have equal facili ties with the whites for education, and dis play, a greater desire to attend school, and in twenty-five years or.less there will not be one per cent, of illiterate negroes in the State. The exodus was not caused by any social or political persecution, and they can live there on the proceeds of two days labor per week. Mr. Bad arer was cross examined at length by Mr. Windom in reference to former ku-klux outrages in the State, but while he testified that the conversion of the State government from the Republican to Democratic con trol was assisted by dt, he also said that the exodus could not be traced or at tributed to it in the least. The minds of the negroes were not affected by the memory of the outrages, and thev were treated as well, there as they would be in any Northern State. During his state ment Mr. Badger said that OHO out of every 1,000 Republicans in the State were for Grant, with Blaine as second choice for President, and Sherman had no following, except a few office-holders. The committee adjourned until to-day. JOHNSTON COUNTY. SmiTHfiem), Feb. 21, 1SS0. 'Editor Messenger : The good people of Johnston county are anxious to bear from Gen. Ranson again, and they would like to know whether or not he is going to spend the whole appropriation between Kinston and Goldsboro, let us hear from the pro gress of the work and expenditures so that we can and may make some calculations as to the time and amount it will take to reach Smithfield. I notice the political cauldron is begin ning to ammer or rather to bubble in places, and we notice where there are most politicians there are mot bubbles, but suppose it would be in keeping with the times to call them boomeretts (little booms.) They tell who ia most promi inent or most likely to be nominated for Governor, &c, yet we regard them as harmless in forestalling public opinion, -especially so far as our Johnston people are concerned as they do not believe in mov ing too fast. So far as I have been able to judge our people are in favor of the nomination of Gov.

I dreamed, too waking dreams. How came the robins so thick there, where white man had seldom teen three months before? Were they, too. recruiting Dear the clouds, after having their households all 'put to regulate' in tie early summer? How cool the xVugust air felt to the cheek, soughing through those miles of wild woodland. I pulled my shawl a little closer. There was a weird look about many of the near spruced making believe live with every whit of tin bark peeled off as hieh as man could reach. The miner's eight-by-eight hut was roofed with the bark, and sections of it laj about to repair a leaky spot in time of seed. The hut was as self complaisant in the sun as though it were not justjfive logs high, chinked with mud, windofless, and with a door so low that j'ou mitt stoop to go in. An upper corner was prnamented by the skull of a pioneer ox of the Texan breed, the horns presenting the dilemma of two empty cans, lubeled respectively 'Boston Baked , Jeans' and 'Chicago woei CQiiu-lrs&.sm K&U- tfchftiat glimmered white vnong the trees came the music of afirAj. Some miner, off shift, was softening the rigors of his soli tude by playing 'Sweet Home. i .esently Jliherifin accents came up from the p ath, ud Bridges appeared Tljey pulled their hats with a satellite quite on ana ho wed lo the crowbar that latch. Kindlings ', before taking down answered for a door were gathered with some bluster, and Bridges came out with soap and wash-basin, baring his arms and scrubbing till culticule seemed likely to part company with cutis vera. After huntivtbile the towel was found real ToVfcu.i guiltless of any laundry-womarjlsavt foi many a week. 'The Cunnel sal J, ma'am, he'd brung out pervision, and mebby ye'd be so good as to git up yer own dinner and the other gintlcman's. For by ye see. ma'am, we niver had the honor afore of ladies in our camp, and though ye' re tin thousand times welcome to' my thing, yit ye see, ma'am, we're rough and ready only rough and ready, ma'am.' And he dash ed into the flour sack. Ms it where's the other bucket then, Moike ? I'erninst ye, no doubt, and the earbonite sand not out o' yer eye vet Look again the fur corner o" the cabin, and don't go maundering off for water wi' only a single bucket. We has to go a mile for water, ma'am, to a shaft as hasn't turned out nothin' valuabler yit.' The bucket's out there where them strange horses is, Bridges,' a voice called out from the darkest corner of the cabin, a voice half plaintive, half querulous, not a man s voice at all. I glanced over to Aunt Rachel, thank ful that the sound did not reach her. What should a woman be doing in that little hut, barred in and alone, as she must have been since morning? Some thing was wrong. Was she the wife of one of the men,' and sick and neglected ? Bridges worked away at the dinner without a word, except to aunt and me. Nobody hail told us so, perhaps, but we had firmly believed that the last woman was left ever so far back on our road. Looking suddenly in at the open door, behold a pair of boy's boots dangling from the side of one of the bunks fastened against the wail. Boy's boots, and the boy, owner of the voice, came down after them, and brighteijyip as he brought his unkempt head out into the sunshine. IT. Bridges and 'Moike' were no sooner off to their work than the young hero of the voice and the boots lost his bashfullness, and talked as freely as we could wish. 'I'm on night shift, yon see, and hev to do my sleeping by dav. 'How long?' Twelve hours to onet. There's only me and my brother on whim. ' 'What does that mean ?' we asked. 'Why, don't you know? They draw up stuff out of the shaft in a big bucket that the whim horse pulls, don't you see? and me and Dick turns about driving the horse.' 'Don't they use engines for such work?" 'Bless you, ma'am, no ingihe couldn't never go up thattrail, don'tye see ?.Thay get mgines after they've struck. Colonel hain't struck yet 'Now that we are rested,' said Aunt Rachel, 'could you show us the way up to the mine ?' -, 'Yes'm, and be proud. It's easy enough to find the way by the blazes; them cut spots on the trees, you know. Yes, 'tis nice, soft, and cushiony-like, as we stop ped to admire such beds of moss as had formed a delight of our chilhood 'back in the States.' 'And them birds,' he added. 'Did you ever see anything so blue ?' A pair of the tiny creatures flew across our 17777 re wild, . 'S'llvaiLr regiw4fes-f! nv.L, v.ka iuoruie lapsis lazuli, and ot more delicate mold than Eastern blue birds. 'You like birds, then?' said Aunt Rachel, smiling. ' 'Oh, yes'm. We had 'em onct in our own orchard back t' Illinois. Real or chard, you know. Apples growed in 'em, and the birds was that thick ! Yes'm, I remember 'em mighty well. I was nuite - -1 i in.

Yes'm, 'twas risin of a year ago, and Dick and me has done all we could for mother and the ba- tics tiest things you ever see. 'Girls?' Yes' m. They wouldn't be so nice if thev was bovs. you know. Dick and me, now, ain't we rough uns?' We fhall be at Bisr Eaele for a while ' j I said; - 'may we go and see j our mother ?' 1 u take it mighty kind ot you, ma'am. But mother hain't got no nice parlor things, like we used to have. Jfhe man 'twas father's pardner in Roaring Luck Mine shenanigined mother all outer our share, sonrt way. Half waa father's, you see, and now they've struck mineral rich, l'ellerish Jcind o carbonites !' 'Why, Toby, can't your mother fret anv justice? The partner has no right to the it 'chi 'Vou' see. tii"iU:v k"n."A! only way was to law and -Lawyers, you know, is the chealihest fellars !' - 'Our folks are lawyers, Toby; don't he too hard.' 'Beg pardon, ma'am, hut they can't be our kind. Some we knows desarves to be penitentiared,' he persisted, stoutly. 'How does your mother get on support ing the family ?' 'Fine, ma'ain, so's we keep well. But doctor's bill out here is most tremendous,' he added, giving four well-accented sylla bles to his final word. 'But Dick and" me helps, you see- We gets six bits a day and grub. Dick's littler than me, but he's ruggeder, so he gets six bits, too. And ths grub's buncombe; all the sugar you've a mind to put in your coffee.' 'Are the men kind to you and Dick ?" 'Oh, yes'm; mainly. Only when some of 'em comes out with black-jack; then they're awful Mike in 'special. I hain't struck after none of 'em, but Bridges takes our part most when they're spreein'. 'Don't I drink?' do you say? No, ma'm. Father never took nothin' stronger'n his coffee, and me and Dick promised mother, on our knees, ma'm, we promised her nothin' shouldn't never get a drop down our throats!' The resolute little fellow looked ten years older than when he pulled himself down from the dirty bunk in the cabin an hour before. Aunt and I exchanged glances. Hadn't we come across a genuine hero in rags, in these rough Rocky Mountains ? 'There's the shaft on yon hillside. See? Heaps o' gray dirt behind it.'. III. 'es, ladies, it takes some faith, but I've got out. J ust beyond the present bottom of that hole, a few feet, more or less, there lie a million of dollars in car bonites, and we're after them. We shan't stop short of China. The Colonel raised from his recumbent posture on the ground. 'What is it, Hills?' 'A little the best indication we've seen yet, Colonel. Do you see the streaking? It's darker. The last four buckets have been like that. We'll be coming to min eral before many days, lt your life ! Get on !' The horse started again, Dick at his heels. Round and round a me'rrv tread mill for twelvehours together. But the -fcoy , a st'Ofa little copy of Toby, t rudged oraveiv on. tossing a pebble at the lagging horse, aud keeping quiet, as the others, but the man in the bottom of the shaft! 110 feet down, might call for something and not be heard. A stove burned b. side the shaft, having its only draft through a small pipe that reached the bottom of the bole to prevent that horror of miner's, 'the damps.' 'Whoa! Fix that rone, Hills,' called the Colonel, 'Do you leave thing's like that at loose ends when I'm away ? 'You'll have to look sharp !' Hills hunaed to attend to it, and the horse was motionless. Dick, peering down the hole, said to Toby, 'I'd think any fel ler's father'd hate to go down there,' when the horse gave an unexpected start. A call of 'Whoa' from the men startled Dick, who whirled towards his work, lost his balance, grew giddy, and was gone down the shaft A scrcm of horror pierced the air, echoing through the slopes and among the still pines. Poor Tobv ! His face was blanched, and after that one scream he could only whisper to the Colonel, 'Can't you git him? Oh, can't you?' The agonv pictured on his face was piteous to behold. Dry, wild eyes, white, parted lips, and his hands clutched together in hopeless de spair. Hills started the horse slowly on again. It was possible that the boy' had lodged on the tub, which was not very far below the surface. A dozen heads dreaded as much as they hoped for the appearance of the tub. It came at last. The lad, limp and apparently lifeless, was taken from the dirty wafer and grav rocic that halt hlled it. A flush of color crossed his face after a little, and a half smile came almost as soon as the breath did. 'Nothin' but jest a broke arm, Dick, the Colonel says,' sobbed Toby, bis tears coming now for the first time. 'I'm awful glad ! What 'ud mother and mo and the babies 'a done, Dick, if you'd 'a been done tor?' Bridges' strong arm and shoulder bore Dick tenderly down the path towards the cabin, and an anxious little procession fol lowed. The pain was increasing in his injured side and broken arm, and Toby was pale and silent. 'He can't bear shaking over the rocks down to Big Eagle in this state,' said the Colonel; 'we must try fix him up here. ' So his bunk was straigthened out, and the Colonel and Aunt Rachel (who hadn't been given good sense and hospital ex perience for nothing) set the broken arm. Bridges tore up one of his two shirts for bandage, avowing that 'anything at all' of his was at the disposal of the injured boy. 'An' we'll all tind hinrnow; niver ye frit. Toby ! We'll have 'im walking down to Big Eagle 'gin iver the mither of him gits ferninsto' prayers fur the by.' We were going to Big Eagle the day following and agreed to break the news to the mother. Toby took occasion to whis per to me, as we were getting things in the wagOD, Iwas dirt mean fur me ever to say anything agin the men ! And must you tell mother as Dick wasn't quite tend in' to his work when it happened? I'd ruther she wouldn't know it not yet, vou know.' IV. ; - This letter, which Aunt Rachel sent to Toby by a miner three weeks later, tells the rest of the story : My Dear Toby: You will be glad to know that Dick bore his ride down home so well that the Doctor says he could go to work again in a fortnight.

STATE POLICY IH TIME. THE OLDEN An Interesting letter from Col. S.lL. Fremont. " . ;, The following interesting let ter is from" the pea of Col. S. L. Fremont, addressed to Capt. S. A. Ashe, of the Raleigh Ob server, from which paper we copy it: You should recollect that from 1S54 to 18G2. to the hour of his death, your hon ored father and myself were directing the operations of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, and trying to make it successful in paying its debts (of construction) and adding to the wealth and power of North Carolina, and especially the city of Wil mington, whose citizens .had so noblv bv their munificent contributions inaugurated the work, and by their sturdy and inces sant blows in the same direction had brought it to a successful completion. How well we performed that duty the his tory of the time and the records of the company will tell you. Early in lS.r5 the North Carolina Rail road was opened to Goldsboro for busi ness. From that day to the breaking out of t he great civil war, in 1SC1, the most amicable and profitable relations existed between "the North Carolina Railroad and the city of Wilmington." The man agement of that road was controlled by the gallant and lamented Fisher during all that period, and the State had full con trol So cordial were the relations be tween the managers and people of the line throughout that cars were built jointly, and owned by both companies, to run through with heavy freights and general merchandise (a new thing then) and bring ing from the interior the products of that thrifty region of the State wheat, flour, bacon, ores, dried fruits, &c. This trade had, grown to such proportions that a line of steamers to run between Wilmington and New York was put on in 1S60, and continued to operate successfully until our port was closed in" 1861 by the civil war. These are the "relations" that I have not forgotten, and this is "ownership and control" by the State that I am de sirous of seeing again enforced by the railway managers of this day. And why not? The same honest old Democratic party is in power to-day that directed so well the State control of that time. Again. ' After the close of the great war, and business began to be re-established, the successors of Fisher in tho man-' agement of the North Carolina Railroad, strange as it may seem to the young men of to-day, directed all north bound freights.. tff leave their own line "at Raleigh and pass to Weldon by the Raleigh and Gas ton Railroad, in which the State had no pecuniary interest, instead of "continuing them on to Goldsboro, thereby receiving the full rate for the whole line and then delivering them to the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, in which the State's literary, fund owned -1,000 shares of the capital stock. . , When this strange state of things was brought to the attention of that good man and honest Governor, Worth, in an inter view of fifteen minutes or less, he saw the merits of the case, and without hesitation, and with the approval of the Board of Internal;- Improvements, instructed the State's representative to protect the inter ests of the State at the annual meeting held at Greensboro in July, 1SG7. "You may have heard of the ' G reensboro reso lutions," by which the State railways were worked together in harmony, the interests of the people were protected and the State had full control. The relations between the North Carolina Railroad and the city of Wilmington were all thatcould be elesired to develop her business, trade and commerce, and add to the prosperity of her railroads, and enable her to pay her share of the taxes, while the intercourse between her people and those of the in terior were, as they ever should be advan tageous and agreeable. The foregoing I offer as the evidence that you called for. If it proves too much, i canno- neip it. i ou sec 1 have some memory left yet. The relations that havc existed between the North Carolina Railroad and the city of Wilmington since it passed beyond the control of the State goes only to prove what l have asserted so often, that the North Carolina railroads, in which the State and its citizens invested so largely. are passing into unfriendly hands, and, 1:1. a if . . , iin.e a captured oai'ery, the guns are turned upon the people that placed them in position. . Look for a moment at the famous "Danville connection," its effects upon the public works of the State. The Ashes and the Dudleys of the Cape Fear, the Gilmers and the Morehoads of Guilford, who ioined bands in re-isting a great evil that the results of the war has saddled and brought upon their children, and the very railroad they built to protect the trade and commerce of the State, has been leased out to tlie enemy to be turned mot effectually against it. To protect the remnant of these works I have said what seemed to me facts that our people should know. I do not under take to be a teacher of the people, but 1 have lived long enough to see the great system of internal improvements for North Carolina rise and flourish for a brief hour in building up and developing her wealth, and, like the rocket, disap pear in the darkness. One word about the sale of the State's interest in our railways. You do not re member, perhaps, what I am going to call to your mind, though you ought not to have forgotten it, and if yoa have not you should pause. In I 860 the Legisla ture of military election lame passed an act to. sell the 4,000 shares of stock own ed by the literary fund and which had paid into that fund from $2S,000to $40, 000 in gold or its equivalent annually. Yet the cry, like the one now raised in Ral eigh,, "no time to lose," "the road will never anain pay a dividend," "now is the time to sell," "Northern capitalists are in the market, and if you don't sell now the stock will all be lost. Result: Act passed by the usual ma jority, stock sold, thirty-eight dollars a share obtained and invested in special tax bonds. Now you can tell us their value and the amroal&omuV fihonU-aot .W H'R.LLI lU""Tl school fund for the education of poor chil uren : . A most remarkable spectacle was ex hibited at the meeting of' the directory in Raleigh recently. All the western mem bers were jn favor of the sale, while all the eastern members opposed it, and said let us keep faith and go as far as we can with the work. To the "outside barba rians" this looked very strange, and is certainly suggestive. If the faith of the State is not pledged to complete this rail road, there is no honor m party conven tions. I was a member of the last State convention of the Democratic party, and if that convention did not ko the whole figure, I cannot read plain English. The Kepubliean convention that met that year ;i taHythesarae thing and made 2. $z dges, and it has been so con- sidered . ' "W.-vmisA fit- i i . . .. .
