Bolf brW.-W.'SwtV druggist: HARROWKESS." Hemlngf or4 (Veto.) Gnid. - , - L - Under the above caption, Thb Lekoib; (N; 0.,) Topic comments at great length upon the letter "From the South," published in the Guide of February the 12th. - . Just as the editor, of Thb Topic suspects, the letter, in question was not written for publication, Ibut parties who heard the reading of it requested us to make extracts from it, and we did so, not with the in tention of hurting, the feelings of. any one, but only to show to the people, of the North that the many reports concerning the "poah white trasb' and the1 "strong feeling" of the South are not" all fabrications. W hen' we published the letter we wt rewell 'awar tlittt there were ser eral familir s in B- x Butte county who ame from the South some of them from North Carolinasome of whom read the Guide regularly, and the -appearance of t bis letter in the col umns of a North Carolina paper, together with the comments on the same, is no surprise to us, we know that many people from the South will not acknowledge that the least feeling against Northern people ex ists in some parts of the States that formed the Confederate government, but we know that there is a feeling in many localities of the South. It is not general, to be sure, . yet it is altogether too common for the good of : the country in general. And this feeling is hot against the Yan kees alone, in some places the stars and stripes are as much despised as the Yankees. A friend, whose rep utation for truth and veracity has not been questioned in the several years we have known him, tells us that while travelling through Vir ginia, a few years ago, he saw a lo' of men walk up to a showman and order him to "take that flag down," and it was the regular and much-to be-proud-of Union ; flag that 'fas floating on the showman's canvas. But why quote Northern people on this subject, when we have the proof in the editor of The Topic's own words.1 He says : - "Another strange assertion is that about the "one Union man." The greats majority of the people of Western North Carolina were UniDn men, so-called, up to the beginning of the war, and now we are all Un ion men. There is not one disun ion ist among us." And we know no .such thing atf ostracism. Any man who does not insolently push his peculiar political, social or religious views upon his neighbors is treated with civility." In other words, a Union man is "treated with civility" so long as he keeps.his mouth snuc. That has been told us before. Here in the North a man is free to "push his political, social or religious views ' anywhere and i everywhere. He can talk free trade, free coinage of sil ver,' free "niggers," free whiskey; or anything else, and he can vote as he talks and he will never be taken tf task for it, either. This should be a free country, but it is not. Free dom should extend in North Caroli na and in Mississippi arid in Arkan sas the fame as it does in Nebraska and in Kansas and in Iowa. A man should be free to speak, his mind on politicr I'queatiotis South of Mason and Dixon'J line the same. as .no . is North of it, but he is not. The "poah white trash" is an ele ment .' which may. be fonnd in . all sections of, the South, and tbat many of those poor whites are as low down as the low negroes is freely asserted by all who have lived theie, and Thb Topic's denial 'does . not, , alter the faCt. i'rt-'-s Thb Topic claims that the author of the letter above '' referred - to at tempted to convey the idea that the people of ' North Carolina, generally speaking, belong to low class, but such is ..not the case. - ."Many of them'1 is the way she' qualified her remarks. ' Had i she included the people in general her statement would have had no effect, because the people of the .North know that the ignorant whites are only a small portion of the inhabitants of ; the South. - A Gscplisest to Our Mi, - Charlotte Observer.

Balelgh Chronicle. - A question has been raised as to whether the resolution to pay the soldiers the difference between the' money they received and gold t was adopted at St.- Xiouis and if so by' which body that was there assem-? bled. Inasmuch as the . Industrial Conference adjourned at 6.22 and the People's party convention assem bled at 6.25, it is not easy to ascer tain exactly what was done by; each body. Mr. Butler thinks that the resolution was not adopted ' by the Industrial Conference, but he :i is mistaken. He was a member of the: platform committee, and knowing i was not in the platform submitted and adopted, he was not cognizant of its passage. . , : What are the facts ? The major ity report of the committee on plat-' form was submitted on the morning of Feb. 24th in the Industrial Con ference . meeting. ; The conference then took a recess until the after-; noon without voting upon the re port. They reassembled in the af ternoon and then a minority report! was presented by Mrs. Willard, of the W. C. T. Undemanding woman: suffrage and prohibition. The ma- jority report was adopted, and did; not include the resolution to pay the difference between paper money and gold to the . Federal soldiers. But; the very next business transacted by the Industrial, conference, and so recorded in the National Economist, two resolutions were introduced, the first submitting, the question of. wo man suffrage to the States, and the second to pay the Federal soldiers the difference between the paper money they received and gold at the rate prevailing during the war. Both these resolutions were adopted, ' thus, committing the farmers and; laborers who took part in that con-: ference to the monstrous and unjust f proposition which would take bil ions of dollars to pay the 2,778,304 sold ie 1 8 who enlisted in the Federal; Army. We know that North Oaro-; lina Alliancemen do not endorse this, the most corrupt and demoral izing bid ever made by any party or body in the history of the world for the soldier vote. We take it that? the reason North Carolina's dele gates did not rise to their feet in indignant protest was because they; did . not understand it. We know i that upon their return home they denied its passage, and did so truth fully so far as they knew. Mr. But ler as a member of the committee on platform, secured the defeat of any such proposition in the commit tee, and was not cognizant that such a resolutioniiad been adopted. The only thing to do now is to repudiate it It is not difficult to see why the author of tbe resolution, an emissa ry of the G. A. R., desired its pas sage as a resolution rather than as a declaration in the platf6rm. It was so that in the North the Third paity men could declare that a vote for their party meant a vote to pay a large bonus to the 2,778,304 soldiers who received paper money for their services: and in tbe SoutH the Third party advocates could deny that there was any such plank in the platform Both would be speaking the literal truth, arid tbe votes of both sections would thereby be se cured. But it would not work. Patnotio men, both North and South, will see through this misera ble and contemptible trick, slipped in without the knowledge of tbe pa triotic delegates, and utterly repudi ate the twoffaced party that thus starts its existence by a piece of du plicity and treasury looting unsur passed in the history of any party. The pension lisL of the United States government is- at present ap proximately $130,0001000 -per an num. Next year, it is to be $160,- 000,000. Of the $130,000,000 the share of North Carolina is f 5,000,- 000. Next year it will probably be $6,000,000. ; This money goes out year after year and it does not come back. It is a constant drain. It is pounne into the sieve and the sieve does not get full, f The State of In diana, for instance, pays out, about $7,000,000 a year to the pension fund but she receives in return some $13,000,000 or $14,000,000 a year. Is it any wonder that Ind iana should grow rich and North Carolina poor? Suppose we had back now what: we have paid 'for pensions even, in the last ten years 1 It would be not less than $50,000,000 over $30 to' every man, woman andchild, white and black, in the whole State. Wouldn't times be better then r . And can times ever be good for the people of tbe south so iong as . tnis . constant and ever increasing dram continues? Ireland ;. is Kept t poor because it is drained - to support ..English, land lords.-? The South is . impoverished because it is drained to support rich and well to do Federal soldiers. . . And here comes a , proposition to add to our burdens billions of dol lars to ; make these , soldiers richer. Every time we pay tax to keep them in luxury, it means the deprivation of comforts and . necessities for ns and our children. Instead of going further, it is time to call a halt. We soeakr in Tno sectional aoirit- We . think the people of all sections ought to be taxed to help those who lost limbs or health by reason of- their service in the war. .Far be it from Us to refuse to pay our stipend to . thoss who need, even if it comes out of our own distress. But we do now and-ever shall protest against any increase of this fund. We are digU8ted with both Democrats and &publicantC as well as Peonle'a party men. whose highest concention of statesmanship is to burden the wnoie people lor the enrichment of those in one section, in order that they may been in offioe. If is mon strous and iniquitous. - " Ksrth Carolina Bscords. Blchmood Times. , Largely through the influence hich is being very actively exercis ed by the principal educational in stitutions of North Carolina, there is a very notable increase of interest among the people of that - State in the preservation of all the records which throw light upon the history of their Commonwealth. In a recent number of the Baleigh News and Observer we find a very interesting communication from Hon. Thomas F. Wood, in which he dwells with regret upon the fact that there is no central depository of historical documents in the State. He nrges the necessity of a move ment towards the permanent estab lishment and endowment of a State historical society. With such a so ciety upon a sound financial footing and under the management of a competent executive, he justly claims that historical material which is now- hidden away in obscure nooks and corners would be presented to the society library to interest visit ors, to excite . further research and to form a basis for a complete histo ry of the State. Mr. Wood mentions in this con nection haying recently seen in the hands of a private party a paper which is the only known evidence in existence that there was a Society of the Cincinnati in JNorth Carolina. He declares that there are many other papers bearing at length on the Colonial and .Revolutionary pe riod which are now scattered among the private families in the State, while in the oldest courthouses, Wilmington,- Newberne, Edenton, Hill8boro, Morganton and Charlotte, there are deposited documents which should by special legislative provis ion be transferred to a nre proof State historical building. The Wilmington Library Associa tion is in possession of many inter esting historical relics of every char acter. Other associations throughout, the State have become depositories of similar relics simply because there is no central library adapted to their preservation. Mr. Wood calls attention to the' fact that Wisconsin has the largest collection of North Carolina histor ical material to be found in the United States, which he regards as discreditable to his own State. Whether his general criticism be deserved or not, the fact remains that North Carolina, nnlike Virgin ia, has had the enterprise to have copied all the Colonial records bear ing on her history now stored in the Record office in England, and these records have been published in len splendid volumes. . A suggestion oi Mr. wooa .in tnis connection is worthy of special con sideration. He proposes that the Lefirislatnre shall make an aonropri- tion which will allow the State to present copies of these ten volumes to every important library in the United States, thus removing the necessity now imposed upon students in other States who are interested in the 'history of North Carolina to visit Baleigh in order to secure the information which they are search ing for.

Not long since an old colored aunty came to the Capital from a small town in Virginia to cook for a gentleman who had known what an expert she was in preparing tooth some dishes since his boyhood. The employer was on the sporting order, and knowing the old woman to be of a deeply religious nature, he took vw4 v aw usi iu iguuinuvo v vug j iact that she was to provide ; meals for a festiye club - where draw poker was the nightly programme. For a few davsthinirs went on swimmingly. The habitues of the place praised the cooking to tbe skies, but their good living was not to last. , Aunt Sarah discovered by accident that the people whose pal ates she was pleasing were an irreli gious lot, and that they were habit ual card players. The discovery appalled her. Bushing into the room where a dozen men were intent i a -iaCk-pot 'she shouted : "I m coin' right back home. You kin git another cook dis very day,: Marse Jim.

Washington Port. The little ten-year-old daughter of Senator Daniel, of Virginia, may aid materially in the hanging of a man in Washington at no very dis tant date through depriving him of very emcient counsel for his defense. She is a great friend of Senator Joe Blackburn, and hearing through talk in the family that an effort was being made to have him enter the case in question, she went to her father and said very solemnly z "Papa, is it true that Mr. Blackburn is going to trv to get that man off free and keep them from doing any thing to him ?" "I don't know, daughter," said the Senator, "Mr. Blackburn is a lawyer, and it is a lawyer's business, indeed it is his duty, to do his best in defending the cases that are brought to him." "Well, I don't care," was her re ply. "I just want you to tell him that if he does go into that case and tries to get that man off, 1 11 never speak to him again the longest day Hive." In telling the story to a friend the Kentucky Senator said : "There were one or two other reasons why I should have didiked to go into the case, but I tell you fairly that none of them had more weight with me than the opinion of that young lady so forcibly expressed. And I am not going to take the case either." Two Saintly Looking Brethren. Morganton Herald. A few days ago two saintly look ing brethren from the South Moun tain section walked into the sash and blind factory here and asked to see some sash, saying that they wished to purchase the sash for a new church in their neighborhood of which they were members. The foreman, with his usual politeness, Bhowed them over his stock and the good brethren made their selection. They asked for the lowest prices on the lot. The foreman told them $23 was the lowest. "O, but in this inBtance you can take $20," replied one brother, "you remember they are for a church." The foreman in formed him that he could not sell them for $20, but he would give $1 to the church and accept $22 cash for the sash. These terms were sat isfactory to the brethren and they paid the $22, and after quoting a lit tle scripture to the-benevolen$ fore man, such as "God loveth a cheerful giver" and "Its better to give than to receive," and assuring him that the Lord would bless him for that dollar, one brother pulled a long bottle of corn whiskey from the rear pocket of his pants, and asked .tbe foreman if he ever drank anything. He replied that he did not drink, and the two brethren drank to each other's health, loaded their sashfand started for the institution that was to elevate the morals of their community.- r ' 'Alliance Conference Called. ; In the Progressive Farmer ap pears the following official notice, signed by Mr. Marion Butler, Pres ident of the State Farmers' Alliance: "I desire to have a conference with one true representative Alii anceman or more, from each county in the State.
