At the beginning of the war in 18G1, the taxable proj e.ty of the State cf North Carolina, upoa which this debt was based, amounted to $225,000,000. I have not been able to obtain in this city, as I expected, the official docu- ments'of ' the btate Department of North Carolina, and I state it from memory at 225,000,000, $100,000-, 000 of which was slave property. When the Legislature passed the act I have just had read by the Secretary, the slave property of course was gone, and the real estate and all the remain der of the property that had been tax able was much diminished In value, so that it can be said wjtb truth that the taxable property of the State at that time amounted to about $100-, 000,000, not more; In 18(38 further provision yas made for funding the accumulated interest that hud not been paid ; and in the same year, another session of the legislature, tlje maturing bonds were fun4cd. It was also provided that they should bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, until provision was made for (heir payment ; so that up td the year ,1868 every act that an impoverished and almost ruined people pould per form for jthe discharge of their obli gations was done, and was adhered to as faithfully as was in our power. In 186, however, there came What was known as reconstruction. The four teenth amendment was submitted to the people of North Carolina, and it was announced that unless that amend ment was adopted the State could not be re-adthitted to the Union. The fourteenth amendment contained a provision that North Carolina should repudiate 'all oT her debt contracted directly or indirectly in aid pf the re bellion. S we had either to remain out of the! Uniorr under the eontrol of the militia which was, placed over us by the reconstruction acts, or we had to adopt the fourteenthamendment and drink thischaliceof repudiation which was fmtput to our lips. I announce without the fearot being contradicted thattor the first time iu thelmtory of North Carolina was she compelled to repudiate any of her obligations. In the-course of two hundred and ninety years, since the ships of Walter Ral eigh dropped their anchors in Hat teras Inlet and the first man of the Indo Germanic race ever beheld her glorious forests and her rivers and her bays, for the first time North Caroli na was compel led to be recreant to her plighted faith; land that she then did so at the dictation of the loval non-repudiating, debt-paying, honest andi virtuous people of theNorth the republican party of the North ! I speak of those who ; controlled the North, of course. I commend the fact, Mr. President, to-the consideration of gentlemen upon the other side. What was repudiated by that section of the fourteenth an end ment which we were compelled1 to adopt in bur ewn constitution, nud which was adopted by ibe't Legislature which was elected nnder the reconstruction acts? Not only all of the debt pro perly created by the State of North Carolina in aid f the war, (of that we could Jiot so much complain,) but the bonds issued in support of the government of the State during the period of the war had found their way into all the channels of trade and intercourse among our people. A large amount of ithern had found their way to banks' necessarily, and J most ot those tanks when these bonds were repudiated became bank rupt and were destroyed. Widows and orphan children whose all con sisted in these bonds which had been taken for them by their guar diaus or by admin'strators of which they were the distributors-, those were all repudiated. . The school fund found itself in the possession of a large number of them; these were repudiated, tind the little children of the State, standing n the midst of a stripped and desolate coun try, as ours was then, found them selves without the means of education simply because the State had been compelled to repudiate the obligation which constituted their fund, Many an orphan child who has grown up in ignorance, and -whose name will up- jear in the census reports as one ot the illiterate in North Carolina, owes that illiteracy to the repudiating pol icy forced upon the people of North Carolina by the Government of the United States under the control of the Republican party. Nay, sir, it per meated every private contract. In the ease of a young man buying a horse and going oil into the army and enlisting in the cavalry with that horse, giving his note for it, our Re publican Supreme Court, following the dictates of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution, have declared that the value of that horse could not be recovered in our courts because the seller believed or had reason to know that the horse would be used in aid of the rebellion. At that time when we were laboring under the most rigid blockade, and when the spoor of our people were almost on the poiut of starvation, communities formed as sociations for the purpose of buying salt for the poor, and to keep women and children from starvation. Our Supreme Court decided that under the fourteenth amendment of the Crnsti tution of the United States and the articles of our own Constitution, which we were obliged to adopt in conformi ty thereto, the money which purchas ed that salt to save those women and children from starvation was advanc ed contrary to public policy and was in support of the rebellion, and could not be paid. It permeated j every thing; it reduced our people to abso lute ruin; they had been on the edge of it before. If we had coijne out straight and square, and repudiated every dollar we owed, we couid have been justified to some extent in saying to the country, "you taught tis that doctrine of repudiation." In the lan guage of Mazeppa, we could have said; "I'll betide The school wherein I learn to ridie.7 But in spite of all that, we had en deavord faithfully to maintain plight ed obligations. j BEX BUILEU Speak a Few Words aboat the North and South. Gen. B. F. Butler, being at this time a gentleman out of politics, has been making a winter sruise in his yacht America to the West j India Islands and Florida He has just re turned, and being in New York o.i Monday, was, as a matter of course, buttonholed by one of those bold "interviewers," who are always; ready to pounce upon a .'conspicuous 'politi cian. Of his voyage he said but; little. In Cuba he found a very friendly feeling towards the United rotate, mingled with some expression of re gret that ; our duties on sugar are so imposed as to prevent the producers from sending it to us with any; reas onable profit. Of Florida he spoke in glowing terms. He found the people mere man in or monev and sir.lr ng money and sick of politics, and rather thought that the Mahone movement would be favora- bly received at the South, but that the white people there, "will never vote for the Rcpublicaur party nor anyf thing that has Republican attached to it." vHis reason .for this, opinion was that : the young men of the day "have had instilled into them front the time they irere. old enough to kno anything, and, which - is as .ranch 4 part af thir existence as" anything can be, that the! Republican party; and everything attached, to it is the destroyer of their patrimony ,the slayeif of their parents, and tlie enemy of the r! country. Believing these things as strongly as they do, is it to be won-! dered at that they never have votedl for the Republican; party; and is it unreasonable to argue that they never will ?" He holds that nothing but a break- up of the talvrartism , in both parties and a reorgaruiatlon on new issues can destroy the" sceiiouil feel-f ing that continues to be manifested both at the North and at the South, Intimidation at the South was get ting to be a thing of the past, he said; but is on the increase iu Massachu setts. Not intimidation by the shot gun, but "by something that is more disastrous to a free vote than a thou sand shot-guns." How intimidation was practiced in; Massachusetts he went on to explain. "A man," he said, 'who firmly believes in his principles and as firmly advocates them is not afraid of a shot-gun,- but he is afraid of his wife and family starving. With a; shot-gun you in fluence but one vote. The manufac turers inilueuce thousands of votes by the meanest kind of intimidation. Willi their thousands of work-men they do not say to a man that if he votes for the Democratic party he will lose his place, but the facts shw that when ho has so voted he has been discharged. The workmen know this and they do not vote.' Ofcourse,asGen. B. has been repeatedly defeated in his long-cherished aspirations to be Gov ernor of Massachusetts, his explana tion of the cause of his defeat is to be taken with a grain of salt. Yet un doubtedly the repression of the Demo cratic vote, not oiily in Massachu setts, but in several of the other New England States, has been managed largely iu this wayi There is, more over, b ah point and pertinence in his remark that the system of intimi dation that compels a man to vote agaiust his political principles rather than let his wife and family starve js the hiCiitesrk.rnit 6T intimidation. The Ilaleigh Post office. A dispatch from ! Washington says: Governor Uoldcn, of North Carolina, arrived here to-day. It will be re membered that when the Democrats obtained possesion of the Legislature of North Carolina they impeached and removed Gov. HoMeu from of fice, and he was perpetually disfran chised from holdim; anv State office thereafter, lie was subsequently ap xinlcd postmaster of Raleigh by Gen. Grant and reappointed by Mr. Hayes. He was a few weeks s r.ee nominated by Gen. Garfield for another term, but subsequently his nomination was withdrawn and the name of Mr. Jno. Nichols substituted. This, it is gen erally considered, was due to the in fluence of Judge Tourgee, who lived in the same Congressional district with Gen. Garfield for a long while and is on very intimate terms with him. Governor HoMou's friends claim that he has given universal sat isfaction iu the administration of the Raleigh posloifice, and that all the in fluential Democrats are desirous of his retention. The effort will be made to induce the President to send iu his name ajraiii, and it is said both the North Carolina Senators will support him. The President and the Postmaster-General have received a large number of letters from prominent cit izens of Raleigh asking the retention of Governor iloldeii. Mr. Je'TiTson DavN has recenfly written a letter to Colonel John R. Winsteid, which shows how heartily he i-.cog:i"zd (he worth of N. C. t roups iii iur late war. We give an extract: "I am very glad to know that you are preparing a history of the mili tary service of the North Carolina trops. I do not think they have gen erally received their due meed of praise. Without making invidious comparison it may be said of them that few great battles were fought and fewer victories won to which North Carolina valer did not materially contribute. I tru t that your asso ciates in arms will freely and fully give yu those minor details which cannot be fun ml in official reports, but which best illustrate the deeds and the men, we should give as examples for future generations."

"There is a time we know "not when, A place We know Tint vUni I Tht marks the destiny of man, giurj or despair. f I once knew a young man whose promi ses for future greatness were nn parallelled. He is married now and has started "forth with firm tread towards the pinnachV of suecess. Noticing the advertisements that the young people of the Methodist church will render to-night that great moral tem perance ptay, -"Ten nights in a bar-room," I thought it would not be a mis3 to rive a Urief outline of my friend's career and re late how nearly rum came to be his ruin. I am not given to romance but will state tae case in as plain a manner as possible. To begin, we will call the hero Debray and the young lady whoso name figures in this narrative, we shall canKellie. -I: . Debray had but a year or &b since the.be giuning of the story atmfcrlur riiajfrity? though he was enjoyiDg a good practice jx his profession of law. . Besides owning smne property of no mean value, which, together with the fruits of his own work, made his fortune easy, and gave him prominence among mothers, as a fine parti for their unmarried daughters. Our hero fell desperatelyTn love with the beautiful and only daughter of a wealthy retired merchant who lived at a magnificent country residenee a few miles from the city in which Debray resided. The course of their true love ran smooth, and biing called off on a business voyage to West India, I never gave a thought to my friend, other than that I consider him hap py and blessed beyond the lot of most of us poor male mortals. I was away for three years and it being night when I arrived in my native city, in-, stead of seeking my paternal roof, I put up at the hotel. Feeling a weary from my long travel I repaired to the saloon, which, on account of the lateness of the hour, was quite deserted. The barkeeper .and a gen tleman were conversing and while sipping my toddy I listened in wonder and surprise the following story : 'You promised to tell me about Debray, Dick,' said the stranger to the bar-keeper. Yes, yes,' said Dick, 'as soon as I finish waiting on this gentleman.' I begged him to proceed and that if he had no objection I would be delighted to hear the story myself. No objection being raised, after lighting our segars and taking comfortable seats, the bar-keeper related as follows: 'Yes, I knew Debray, and when I knew him at first, there Was a sort of particular pleasing general air .about him which the French call 'debonair.' Nature had shaped him on a plan most liberal, had given him good looks, good language and manners that were expressive both of the gentleman and of the student. He was not stuck up by any means tho' it was difficult to put him down. He was voted agreeable and jolly and was sought after by all of the entertainers in the city. At first he was in the habit of coming in at night and I assure you that I liked him so, I always spread myself to mix his drinks all O. K. Now, gentlemen, I admire a judi cious indulgence in the liquid, though it is a poison at once complete and entire for some folks; it is a bully companion, but as a 1kss it is the devils own chum. Now Debray commenced to increase his doses at such a rate" he was floored in his wrestle with ruin and I was grieved to see him run down hill without putting on breaks and lectured him some times even at the risk of losing my trade. Vfell he went on and on till he got powerful seedy in his appearance and seemed to have lost all of his high notions of honor and eelf-re-spect. At times he would stop to think and would become dreadful remorseful and swear to reform himself but it ended by his tak ing another drink. Now you want to know what saved that young fellow. Well, it was a woman. De bray came into the saloon one evening he had not been drinking that day and tak ing a seat by the table, commenced groan ing and calling himself a gone sinner. He was thinking and cursing his luck but it ended as usual by his ordering a glass of whiskey. He was holding the glass in his fingers when a young girl, like a spirit with a face wonderful sweet, glided in and going up to the. table took the glass gently away horn Debray, saying to him, 'George it is over, I am only 'a woman and I come to you to-day lowly and meek, for I rejected you when I was angry. I thought I was strong my darling but I am weak, and cannot live without you. I come to share with you the terrible bondage with which you arc bound. I shall be true to my love and if there is shame in the deed, I will bear it. I have turned from the home of my childhood, leaving comfort, content ment and honor; I have come to you and will stay to the end however terrible it may be. I will share hunger and want with you; we will join together in the pleasures and dangers of drink then she raised the glass firmly, and with a face pale as death, said. 'Here's to wine and the joy of carou- i sals, the songs and laughter.' Debray sprang up looking like a tempest and taking the glass from her hauc, he sav agely dashed it away. His manner was stern though grand, as he said : 'I have done with it Nelly, sq help me God, I will turn from the ways I have been going and live to be worthy of you.' It is needless for me U attempt to relate the rest. i A few days ago I saw Debray looking handsome and nobby aid gay and in the carriage with him were his queenly wife and the nurse held in her arms a sweet lit tle bit of a baby." This was the, bar-keeper'a story, and as I Uft his saloon I put away whisky and drink, and to-day know that I am a better inan for hearing Bar-keeper Dick's story, j I saw my friend the next day and learned ffom his own lips the history fj his lifo since last we had parted. It was aa I hare written. Hay this simple story, told in a simple style, prove a check to the down ward course of some boy who is somebody's darlfoff Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin No. 8.

The action of the executive committee of the Board of Agriculture iu purchasing for the use of that department the Nation al Hotel property in this city was emi nently prudent aud economical. For less than half the cost of the grouud and build-, iugs, and much less than they could pos sibly have erected a suitable building (evon with the aid of convict labor), they have secured pcrmauent quarters for the commissioners, the geologist and the mu seum, and for the laboratory of the chem ist, I)r -Dabney, who will, we learn, short ly remove to this city. There will be, besides, ample room for the accommodation of the Supreme Court, and probably the State Library, whenev er it shall be deemed advisable to trans fer them from their present cramped quarters in the capitol. By such trans fer tho Secretary of the State aud the Au ditor will be enabled to arrange and care for their important records iu a more sat isfactory manner than is now possible in their single rooms,. The hotel buiMing wilt afford, besides, rooins for the com mittees of the General Ascmbly, and the giounda are the proper place for theerecr tioh of necessary buildings which would disfigure tho capitol square, and for the storage of wood and coal. The eiecntivo committee, Governor Jnrris, aud Messrs. Battle and Holt, dem onstrate their excellent business capacity by their prompt action in this purchase. The; opportunity for such a bargain does not often occur, aud should not be missed. We congratulate the Board of Agriculture aud the State of North Carolina upon the purchase. Xeics & Observer.

Our Franklin correspondent, under date of Monday, gives us the following item: - "I am informed, that Itedmond, the celebrated cp. flaw, -Swain county f has , been arrested, was severely wounded, and will die soon if not dead bylhis time. He was at his house when gome revenue offi cers went to arrestliim. They had con cealed themselves in the bushes near the house, but waa soon detected by Red mond's dogs that began to bark, where upon Redmond took his gun and went to I investigate the matter, when he was hailed by the party to "halt," but imme- diately raising his gun to shoot was fired unou instantlv br th nflflra wIiam balls took effect, and will in all proba bility result in his deaths " Since putting the abovo in typoj we learn Redmond was carried, after being shot, to Charleston, where he died on Friday. He said to Ray, who shot liim: . "You have shot me. I never surrendered aud never would have done so." For several years Redmond has been living a peaceful life farming on the Tennessee River some twenty miles below Franklin. He desired to be let alone aud to be per mitted to live au honest life.

Tho mound-builders were a race of people very different in their habits and modes of life from the Indians who occu pied all the country at tho time of the advent of the whites. They are now re garded as a distinct and extinct race. Of tlndr history very little is known, ex cept what can be gathered from the mounds and walls which they built; most of these are made of earth or gravel. They arc usually found overgrown by living and decaying trees, front which we , have the proof that they have been aban doned at least 1,000 year?. We have proof also that tho mound builders work- ; ed the copper mines of Lako Superior 5 lead mines near Lexington, Ky., and oil wells iu Canada nd Pennsylvania. 1 The -remains of the mound builders are spread over a vast extent of country. They are found iu the sources of the Alleghany ,' in western parts of the State of New.York and in. nearly all of the Western States, includiug Michigan and Iowa. They line tho shores of tlie Gulf of Mexico from Texas to Florida, wheuco they ex tend through Alabama and Georgia, hrto South Carolina. From all the facts known little more can belaid than this: That the valley of the Mississippi and Atlantic7 coast were once densely populated by a. Mrdeutiuy, agricultural and partially civK lized race, quite different from the modern Indians, though possibily the lrogeui toisof sonie of the Indian tribes f that after many centuries of occupation they disappeared from oar country, at least 1 1,000, perhaps many thousaud years be fore the advent of the Europeans.
