WHAT IB TO BE DONE ABOUT IT ?
The ecision of the conrt in the
,imi j" case require? that xo much of
.. gists' stock in the N. pj Railroad

' ' i.trrept due on the construction bonds,
is rale must take place ntfxt April if
Siate through h"r Legislature does
i i.:au thy money by taxation or other
mean. The amount necessary to be rais-
V is variously estiraa ed at from betweeu
. in o an I five hundred thousand dollars.
Tij interest o ust of Coarse be raised annu
ally. Now, the question is, what advan
tage is there in taxing the people to pay
Hie interest on these construction bonds in
order! ihat ihe State may have the name
ni n ly of hoMing ilail Road stock ? The
State has realised nothing from her inter
tel i,i ihe N. C. Railroad for years, and
is not likely to get any thing in the fu
ture. All the money that the Road makes,
t mi is, the State's share, goes into the
hand of n receiver and is used ui paying ir
tercet on these construction bonds. This
process will go on until the bonds tall due,
and then the people must be taxed to pay
the pi incipaL Would it not be well enough
to stop this annual drain upon the people
by allowing thu road to go to sale ?
What is the people's wish ? Would they,
prefer to impoverish themselves by paying
this tux that they may hold on to the
Road I or sell tho Road and relieve them
selves as far as possible. It matters not
ho owns tho Road now since the Stale
is not in any way benefitted by holding
on to it. This is a matter the people
must meet through their Legislature next
winter. Let them therefore send men
to the Legislature properly advised, and
who will have the nerve and the capacity
to deal with these important matters
effectively.
TO THE CONSERVATIVES
OP THE 30Tx SENATORI
AL DIST., N. C.
Lite on yesterday we were handed a cir
cular, bearing the above heading, and issu
ed u u de r the signature of one A. N. Smith, Esq
who sign3 himself "President of the Conven
tion which was held at Foard's Mill on the
13th iust." Mr. Smith is therefore the os
tensible author and his circular Is worthy of
notice only from tbe fact that he assumes to
speak lor Davie. Whether he does or not
is a question. We will, nevertheless, give
to Davie ibis one notice.
In our last paper we endeavored to give a
clear and trnthful statement of the causes
which prevented a selection of a candidate
for Senator. We did not attempt to give
the exact proceedings ; and as oar article
was wntteo in the interest of peace and har
mony, with a view of bringing about, if pos
sible, a reconciliation between the discor
dant elements of the two counties, and the
nomination of a candidate on whom all might
agree, we purposely left out some things that
we thought might tend to irritate or alienate
the people of the two counties. We were
careful to eay nothing that would further
widen the breech between the counties ; and
we had begun to flatter ourself that we had
succeeded, Bat wo were mistaken. Mr
Smith has discovered a mare's nest, and then
he wants to appear in print': Hence, bis
circular which justice to Davie and self-imposed
duty require him to issue. This cir-
31.00 i cuia7 ia intended as a rejoinder to our article
in the last Watchman ou the same subject
The first paragraph reads :
"As President of the Convention which
was held at Foard's Mill on tho 13th inst.
I feel called upon in justice to the delegates
from Davie to give my recollection of the
proceeding of that Convention. Especial
ly, do I consider this my duty in view of the
fact that tho Secretary of the Convention,
(Mr. Stewart,) has seen proper to give
through hisLeditorial columns of the Watch
man, a statement which is greatly at vari
ance, with the facts as they transpired on that
occasion.
Now, this circular of which the above par
agraph is a part, in addition to that of "Presi
dent"' Smith, has the signatures of four other
gentlemen of Davie. (Right here we desire to
expressoiir surprise that President Smith did
not secure more names out of the large and
intelligent delegation from Davie present.
Surely, if he only has s'ated facts be could
have gotten a greater number to say so.)
We would feel very bad if we could per
suade, ourself that we h id done Davie injus
tice, or that we had given through "the
Watchman, a statement which is greatly at
variance with tiie facts as they transpired on
that occasion." Sofaras the truth of the state
ments we have made is concerned, or of those
which we shall here make, we are perfectly
willing to leave that with the gentlemen from
both counties present. Before publishing
oar.previoos article, we conferred with sev
eral gentlemen of the highest character, for
truth and tionesty, as to the correctness of
our statements, and every one agreed with
us that we had given an Impartial and truth
ful statement of the facts. Bat, as we have
said before, we are willing to leave the ques
tion it veracity which President Smith has
raised, with the good and trnthful men of
Davie and Rowau who were present at
Foard's Mill. .
President Smith continues :
ties there, of agree that we don't know a Da
vie man from a Rowan man. '
la regard to the committee of twelve Mr.
Smith is very anxious that this matter should
be brought forward. Well, we don't charge
that President Smith did any thing wrong.
But Rowan men say that the President ia a-
gain mistaken. They say that it was first
proposed to appoint a committee composed
of six friends of the aspirants, and not six
gentlemen from each county ; but that Presi
dent Smith got it mixed up in submitting
the question. That nine of this committee
were Price men and only three Crawford
men ; that a majority of these names was
suggested by the friends of Capt. Price, and
so notorious was the fact, that the Price men
were suggesting the committee and having
it appointed to suit them, thai-tbe Crawford
men cried out at the time No suggestions !-
No prompting ! and resolved before the com
mittee was read out to oppose it. President
Smith may have thought he was acting all
right, and we do not charge he was know
iogly acting in bad faith toward Mr. Craw
ford. Yet it is strange thai be should have
received and acted upon the suggestions of
the Price men and overlooked or ignored
those of Crawford's friends.
The reason the Rowan delegation wonld
not agree to receive the report of the com
mittee of twelve and act upon its suggestions
is that they believed it to have been packed,
whether it was done intentionally or not.
This was a good and valid reason, too. Da
vie would have acted just as Rowan did if
she bad entertained tbe same opinion as to
the selection of said committee, or at least,
it is to be presumed so.
But why was this committee insisted up
on ? Rowan opposed it from tbe start ; and
would never have agreed to its appointment,
but for tbe fact, that the Secretary, presum
ing that the committee wonld be selected
from an equal number of the friends of each
aspirant, and desiring to expedite matters.
came forward and expressed the hope that
no fair minded man would oppose it. We
were acting iu good faith, and wonld have
listened to the report of this committee, after
it had acted, but for -the fact that when we
saw how the appointment was being made,
and ventured to suggest the name of a Craw
ford man we were not heeded and a Price
man was put dowu in his stead.
The fact is this committee was insisted up
on because Capt Price's friends had ascer
tained that Rowan was represented by dele
gates from bat three or four of her townships.
We hate to have to say this, yet it is true.
We do not believe, however, that the good
people of Davie county, or that all her dele
gates to the Mill, would attempt to enforce a
measure so manifestly unfair and unjust. Tho
fact that Mr. Price's warm friends did desire
to do it, is no evidence that the masses of the
good people of Davie would approve it.
township was called, and the chairman of the
respective townships answered the questions
which were put to him by the Secretary id
this way : Who is your choice for Congress?
Who for Senator? Who for Clerk 1 and so
r . - , r , ,
on. in this war seven townsuips aectarea
for Crawford, one for Price, one for Maj.
Kerr, one for nobody, and one was not rep
resented. In the same manner was all too
nominations made, and if Capt Crawford
was not the expressed choice of our county
Convention and tbe delegates to Foard's
Mill were not virtually and in foot instruct
ed to vote for him. then we made no nomi
nations at our county Convention and tbe
whole thing was a foes. The idee that a
preference expressed in tbe manner in which
it was is not a selection . sad doss not amount
to a choice, is simply absurd.
But suppose, as has been alleged, that
there was no proposition publicly endorsed
by the Cojvsution authorizing the delegates
to express a preference or to instruct, and
that the voting of seven townships for Capt.
Crawford was unsolicited and voluntary, it
most be admitted that the ease is tenfold
stronger in favor of oar position : For then
we have tbe imposing spectacle of seven of
the largest townships unsoli ited coming for
wai d in open convention of the people of the
county and proclaiming their unanimous
preference for a Senator. After this, it is to
be ptrsnmed that but little effort was neces
sary to have secured the whole number of
townships for Capt Crawford. Taking this
view of the case there ootid bavn been no
packing. Indeed, no one wil' dare say that
the very large Convention our people held
was packed in favor of anybody. Now,
what about the Convention in Davie ? We
will not undertake to go as tar as President
Smith, and say that we know anything pos
sitively; bat our people are somewhat anx
ious to know how the delegates from Davie
were appointed. Who handed in the names.
and in whose hand write were they ? And
how was it that such gentlemen as R
Williams. Johu Clement, S.J. I lanes. Esqrs..
and other gentlemen of the highest character
who are not only natives pf Davie, but who
have passed their lives ia building up the
county, were ignored ? We know that there
are a large number of good men in Davie,
who would have accepted the position, and
whom tbe people of Rowan would have
supported cheerfully. But they, it seems,
stood no chance before the Davie county
Convention. Why T This question wil
give certain gentlemen trouble yet, if they
are not particular. President Smith has
mnch to say about the act ion of our Conven
tion. If it shall become necessary we wil
show that the action of his own county Con
vention is much more voluerable than that
of ours. But we do no', hold the good peo
ple of Davie county responsible for the in
discretion of a half dot-en or so of i m prudent

We am told that a new Comet has been
discovered, and that it can now be neen
with the naked eye, away back among
the stars in the Northern sky. It is said
ta bo approaching tho earth very rapidly,
imd that it will bo 24$ times brighter on

If all thcoe thi igs are true, it will certain
ly prove an object of great interest if it
produces no had effect, such as running
against tho artb, setting it on "nre, and
the like. Tbc comets are undoubtedly
very ccceutric sorts of adventurers. Tbey
don't seem to be governed by the same

well founded. But this riaht was not con

Of tbe claim ot either county."
Mr. Bailey did not. nor did any one else,
show that Davie bad the right to the Senator
this year. We pressed this point, and their
was not a gentleman on the hill who did or
i could show any foundation for tbe so-called
claim. Mr. Bailey imagined that such a
claim existed, but he signally failed to show
the fact.
We invite the attention of delegates to the
following flippant statement, of President
Smith :
"After some confusion it was ascertained
that tbe Convention was not fully organized;
and some geutleinen from Rowan moved that
the names of tbe delegates and town-ships
ot the two counties be called by the secre
tary. Davie readily assented to this propo
sition, and proceeded io hand in her list.
for some reason unknown to me a portion
of the gentlemen from Rowan ( a bother dele
gates or not 1 am not informed. ) objected to
this course. In consequence of this failure
to agree and amid some confusion, the on
.....;.... .... . i.
cuuuu vu iiioiiuu, iwmi a recss lor ininy
minutes. Upon the reassembling of the con
vention some gentleman from Rowan moved
that a committee of twelve, six from each
eo .ut v be appointed by the Chair, whose
business it should be to retire, .consider, and
report, a mode of Dominating a Senator for
this District. Occupyjug the Chair, I felt it
my duty to appoint the very best men on this
committee, aud 1 did so. After some time
spent in conference, the committee returned,
aud through their chainnau, Mr. Jas. A.
Kelly, of Davie, reported by a majority of
i.lnA . . . . L - ... . : i i i - ,
uiuu m iui iu votiug oy lownsnips, eaco
township having one vote aud no township
to be allowed to Tote unless represented by
delegates, or by proxy. The question then
was upon the adoption or rejection of the
report."
President Smith seems to have grown
reckless in tbe above. He is simply mistak
en when he says that a gentleman from Row
an moved that the names of the delegates
and townships be called, ice. It was a Davie
man, was it not, Mr- Smith ? Tojefair. He
is aiso mistaken when he says tbat "some
gentleman from Rowan moved tbat a com
mittee of twelve be appointed," &c. He was
also a Davis man and we will prove it by n
large majority of the Vs men of boh conn

Here we might leave the President, as the
remainder of his circular, is mere yerbosity,
and just as reckless as the preceeding ; but
in order tbat he can have no cause of com
plaint, we will give as much of his circular
as possible.
After his stating the "befs," as we have
given them above, he proposes to instruct us
and the world in the mysteries of conven
tions, parliamentary usage, and political
economy, generally ; and proceeds by asking
and answering bis own questions tohis entire
satisfaction, no doubt, after a learned style:
"In the first place, I will aak what is tbe
object in holding a nominating convention 1
Is it not for the purpose of ascertaining tbe
cnoice or a majority or toe members or the par-

Then bow is the end to be accomplihed 'n
this Senatorial District, being composed as it
is, of the counties ol Rowan and Davie, Rowan
having eleven townships and Davie six ? No
body can suggest a fairer plan than to vote by
townships; especially, when nine, a majority
of seventeen are required to. nominate. Sup
pose for Instance the comity of Rowan in con
vention should vote py townships for Senator
and Capt. Craw (bid should receivesix, and Mr.
Price five, and suppose Davie county had voted
all six of her townships for Mr Price, will any
unprejudiced mind contend tbat Capt. Craw
ford is tbe choice of the District, composed as
it is of the f wo conntie? ? 1 think not ."
The propriety of voting by townships is
not the question. It may have been fair to
vote by townships, but this was not accord
ing to the usage which has obtained In the
selection of a candidate for Senator hereto
fore. District Conventions have always
hertofore voted by counties or according to
voting population. Capt. Price's friends
wanted to adopt the new mode of voting by
townships, because Rowan was not repres
ented by townships ; and this was one reason
wby Rowan objected to thencw method, and
another was that her l legates were instruct
ed to"vot for Capt. Crawford. But hear

LIVER CORRECTOR.
AND CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA.
personally concerned, we have acted strictly
upon our honest convictions of duty. We be
lieved that we were instructed when we went
to Foard's Mill, and had no right to disregard
said instructions. In assuming this position we
have censured no one for not agreeing with us.
On the contrary, we hare ehdeavoied to keep
down high feeling, and we appealed in our
last paper to the highly and respectable dele
gation of gentlemen from Davie, to join us io
an effort to bring about harmony and con
cert of action. Preaidnet Smiths circular was
not in a like spirit ; but Is well calculated to
get up bad feeling ; ens while we have en
deavored in this reply to avoid every thing in
the least calculated to prod nee undue feeling.
we regret that some of onr remarks may be
regarded pointed and tiarsh. .But the
existence, of differences of opinion between
President Smith and ourself, or far that mat
ter, between any other two or three or doaen
gentlemen, should not be allowed to disturb
the good feeling that has always existed be
tween the two counties. The sensible people
of the two counties will not permit it, and they
should not. We say throw over board
all the unreasonable and factious, and let the
people of the two counties cone together like
men determined to preserve our Conservative
organization, sod peace, harmony and good
leeung netween our aniens.
In conclusion, we possitirely disavow any pre
jndoce or bitter feeling in this matter. We
felt called upon to take notice of President
Smith's circular, presented in the way. it was,
and we regret that space will not permit us to
notice many other points, but as such d inclu
sions never result In any good, we dismiss it
finally from onr columns, hoping in the mean
time that the good men of tbe two counties will

Just now the independent candidate
disease seems to be spending its force in
the Radical camp, where it is raging like
the big tneasel in a regiment ol new sol

escape tbe contagion, bnt whether we

Nor arc we alone in this opinion. 1 be

This is very strong language, thosgh it is
merely the assertions of President Smith un
supported by facts. What are tbe facts ?
During tbe session of onr county Convention
some one arose and proposed when the dele

make their selection-for county officers, dec..
that a vote be taken to ascertain the choice
of the people for Senator. This was a ver

upon. It was not submitted in writing and

mill and other mannfsctnrong establish
ment in the Southern States, pat up since
the war, is paying larger prioas than are

cotton mills. The reason is plain. An
establishment which transforms the raw
fabric into cloth where the fabric is raised
sbonld more than sqceessfully . compete
with a similar establishment two or three
hundred miles distant, especially in view
of tbe tact that the cotton otaelf most be

this morning near Momsville, in this

to believe that a medicated stimulant is ana
item of immense importance in the catalogue

these effects are nothing new. The great
table invigorant and its cures have been before
the people for more than twenty-five years, and
in every year of the twenty -five iu popularity
has increased and its sale lias become larger.
Yet there are no doubt many thousands of in

portunity of observing for themselves the sur
prising changes which this unequalled tonic
and alterative pioduces in systems which

Probably many of these regard the statements
made in relation to the sanitary properties of
the Bitters with some degree of inctwdulity.
Would that all such skeptics could See with
their own eyes what the raed ici ne is doing for
tbe sick and feeble everywhere, what a staff of
life it is proving to the aged and infirm, what
a belp in time of trouble to feeble women suff

and life in malarious districts, what a panacea
for languor and depression, what a specific for
all diseases in which the system requires to he
