It is a (act that in every county in the
I Btate, where tlu Conservative parly has
Win power, the countici arc out
of debt, arid their paper is readily taken
at face value, and a number of them
have from Ten to twenty Thousand
dollars in Bank And in every county
where the Radical party lias been in pow-
er, the county scrip hs been at a dis-
count, and nearly evefv county has
asked fora special tar, to feod and fatten
the corrupt officials who hold the offices.
These are facta.

In the paper of last week wc noticed
the extension of tie Bridge over Tar
River at Louisburg, ami characterized
it as an extravagant and useless ex
penditure of a largo sum of money to
be paid by a people wl o have already
been and arenow payin g burthensome
taxes, in consequence of the extrava- I
ganccs heretofore indulged in. This
too is being done by a coperation that
has not a cent of money in its Treasury
and whose drafts are being sold at a
discount of from 25 to33 J cents in the
dollar. If thework had been needed
at Louisburg, which is not admitted by
the writer, and he is sustained by
nearly the whole of the people of the
county, would H not have been much
better to have borne the occasional in-
: r . t i :i I
ii u i i i i I
T r o I
when the contractor could gel his
money for hit work immediately upon
its completion ? Then we could have
had it done as cheaply as individuals
get their work done for t e cash.-
And the inconvenience that the people
will undergo, by reason of the present
obstruction of travel across the Uridge,
for the next two months will be more
than they would have undergone with-
, in the next 20 years by reason of the
freshets in the River. But it is useless
to go further into details on this matter,
the people of, the C unty are almost a
unit in opposition to this measure.
Another matter of very serious con
cern to the people, was the enormous
expense in arranging for collecting the
State and County taxes for the year
1874. This cost was very nearly if
not over one thousand dollars, iu items
as follows ;
J. B. Tucker Kegistcr for making
out tax list, $ 589.60
24 List Takers (aj $0 each 144.00
8 : : (a) 10 : 80 00
. 10 Meetings of Board of Com
missioners at a cost of 20 per
. day, 200.00
;
Makiug . 1013.CO
This docs not embrace the pay of the
Township Boards of Trustees for meet
ing in Louisburg with the County
Commissioners for the purpose of equal
izing the taxation mhich would cost at
least twenty dollars more, nor is the
pay of the Register for issuing n ticcs,
and the Sheriff for serving the sanre,
relative to the tax list, and the Sheriff
for delivering the lists, to the list takes
inclunod therein. The above item
of 1589.60 to J. H. Tucker was ac
tually paid in orders issued. That to
the list takers is made upon an ennu
jncration of them and what the law
allows each one That of the Board ot
Commissioner! r ten meetings for
that purpose may exceed a time or two
tho number that they Were engaged on
arraneinc the tax list, hut this will be
juado up by the pay oHthe Sheriff and
"' ifegistcr for issuing nd serving notice,
and delivery of tax lists to the several
Boards of Trustees. So. that it cannot
fall short of one thous nd dollars
The allowance to J. B, Tucker the
Register for making put the tax list ia
as the writer thinks more than the law
allows for that service. For the other:
he supr.osos it i in accordance with
law.
I;
This is a h.eavy expenditure.
Though it is not greatly more than the
law allows And it is not certain that
more than one item U too wuch for the
service rendered, Hut the machinery
U too cumhersome and heavy, It takes
toomanj to do tlio work. Too many
men are eqgget doing what ought
to he done hy a tew. Ia there any
good reason why there should he more
than one list take? n each township,
as was the case under the old Constitu
tion. Vfa can think of none, and do
Hot believe there is n particle of reason
for it. Vet nndor ljo 'onsfjtntion
there mast be three each in eight toxi.
ships, and four in the other two, thus
taking and paying 32 men to do what
ten ought to, and did under the old
Constitution. Thus it will be seen
that this one it em alone casts the count y
over $1,000 before it reach the hands
of the Sheriff. This to the j writes
seems an enormous cost. 8ome of it
might have been obviated by the C m
missioncrs. But under our system of
government it roust . necessarily have
been large. Much gr.a'tr than is
necessary under a wise and well work
ing machinery which has ccpnomy in
- -
view in all its parts.
These ar Icles mijrht be greatly ex

draw is almost inexhaustible, fcut as the

well as the mismanagement of thcof-

to the people, that if they desire a

County government, which will scroti

the people of the County, and see that
none passes that should not pass, if they
want to put. down recklessness and ex
travagance, if they want to get back to
a cash paying basis, if they want once
more to have the Couuty managed iu
the interest of the people, instead of in
the interest of the office holdets, let
them, put their energies forth, and
carry our ticket to victory this summer,
which will assure victory next year.
When it is hoped that we will once
more see the days of official probity
prevailing in our midst.

audieree of abvdt 700 ladies and gen-
tlemer, as orator of the day. ; Having
made his preliminary in an easy and
graceful manner, he proceeded, with
out tbe aid ol manuscript, to the argu
ment ot his address, which was in tbe
main: that the Masonic Order was
neither self-righteous nor exclusive
that its chief object was to organize
the benevolence and charity ot man
kind, he relics of our primeval purity,
for the purpose of securing to all men
the comlort of mutual assistance and
fellowship in this life that its minis
trations began with the cradle and eli
ded with the grave that while it did
not conflict with Christianity, it did
not offer itself to the world as a sub
stitute therefor that it war the tem
poral adjunct of the Church for good
work?, but claimed no spiritual in
fluence beyond the n flection of good
deeds upon the heart ol the doer,
He made a touching appeal in behalf
of the Orphan Asylum, and closed
with an . exhortation to his masonic
brethren which was very impressive.
He seemed to have the attention of
the audience at his command. The
fact w, this address was in good taste,
forcible, practical modest in the
archaeological, and free from the mys

Inl 1504 the cold was so intense
that the Thames in England, was cov
ered with ice sixty-one inches thick.
In 1693 the cold was so excessive that
the famished wolves entered Vienna
and attacked beasts, and even men.
Many people in Germany were frozen
to death in 1695 and 1699 was nearly
as bad. In 1709 occurred that -famous
winter called by distinction, the col
winder. All the rives and lakes were
frozen, and even the sea for several
miles from the shore. ihe ground
was frozen nine feet deep. Birds and.
beasts were struck dead in the fields,
and men periahed by thousands in their
houses. In the south of France the
wine plantations were almost destroyed.
The Adriatic sea was frozen, and

In 1716 the winter was so intense
that people travelled acruss the straits
from Copenhagen to the province of
Senia, in Sweden. In 1726,in Scotland,

multitudes of cattle and sheep
were
buried in the snow. In 1740 ihe
winter was as cold as that of 1 70.
The Zayder dee was frozen and thous
ands went over it. 1744, and 1755 the
winters were very cold. In 1771 the
Elbe was frozen to the bottom. Vast
numbers of. the feathered and fmuy
tribes perished.
We can only learn from history the
severity of those winters. But do we
notknow from bitter experience that
the winter of 1874, was the coldest
that we ever felt. The old people shake
their heads very knowingly, and say
this was the coldest winter they have
ever known.
