We suppose there i not more than one iu ten, even of newspaper readers, who care anything about tariff paid by the people of this country on the merchan dise which they buy every day at the stores where they do their trading. They do not consider the subject as concerning them at all, but pay the price ot me goo as audloiDetoieviS thai U i all light: And yet itisjito all' right. They; ha I'e paid tnore fo the goods than Ihey ought. The government at Washington has been robbing the people ever since i escau- ishmciit. It has been doing this by a certain arrangement of tariffs laid on manufactured goods which thejpeopleare iged to Jiave. . At the beginning of the government there may have been some ' m ' i . ' ' .1 . excuse lor it J out now, auu iur uiuujr yeais past, there is no excuse, tuiy more than there would be for taking inoney out of the pockets ofninety-niue cititens to put it into the pocket of the one-hun- drcth. It is the duty of government to pass laws on the maxiui of "the greatest good to the' greatest number but oar government has, and continues, to carry oat a sy stem i exactly contrary, to this: The many are taxed; to snric1i 'Ue few. tfnder the joirationof this iysteni one small part of tbe country lias grown ncn while the .greater portion has grown poor, Tho many I have been robbed and the few made richf-so richin fact, that they can contribute! millions of dollars to corrupt the ballot Jboxes of .the people, and carry elections in their pwp iuterest. And this is the price which thp people pay for hot caring anything about the tanfls which the government levies on the merchan dise' which thev consume tsvery year. ' It is a slow bat sure process of enslavement. The fat ofXhe land is constantly drained by this system, and goes to strengthen a power outside of ' the government, which will eventually becomo stronger than the government, and will rule it in defiance of tho masses. For the further consideration of this subject we append the following; A Tariff Hurtful to tlie Farmer. We had somehow received the impres sion that the Charleston Keict and Courier was a protective tariff journal. We do not now remember how we formed that opin ion, but if we had set to work to classify our exchanges as to high tariff or free-trade we should have placed our Charleston con temporary with the former.' But in this we are probably mistaken, as its Tuesday's paper has an editorial the purpose of which is to shor that "the price of cotton is kept aown iy a proxeciive larm.-. e appre hend that there is no doubt of the correct ness of this postulate. The Southern plan- -..m m sm . . m ter cannot be benenttea in any way by high protective tarff. In fact it is a species of robber to compel a farmer to pay an advance pf from 15 to 75 per cent, on ar ticles cobsamcd or used by him iust to benefit a ifew manufacturers. .What riht has any government to say that fifty million people slall be taxed heavily that a few thousands of their fellow-laborers rind fellow-citiizens. may realize very, largely from somjc enterprises in which they are engaged br wish to engage ? - What is the object of jgovernnient ? Is it tooppress the -many forjthe benefit of a; few f J Who will dare say jthat ? And yet practically that is precisely) what the United States Congress is now diing. The idpa of a povernment 13 only an ex tended family. It took its origin in the life and iiaanagcment of a private family. Vhat just father will make five of his children labor that the sixth mayieccive the chiefi benefit ? Lord Bacon lias said that'thd surest way to prevent seditinnsis to take away the matter of them;. for if there be (fuel prepared it is hard to tell whence the spark will come that shall set it ion firpp A . goyernmect, that "should be parental jancT just in order to bt respected and served, should not be so partial in its favors as to discriminate against the many for the benefit of a pampered few. The Louisville Courier-Journal, a strong oppo nent of the present unequal, iniquitous: un just and joppressive tariff, puts . the matter strongly an the following paragraph It is right, just and proper to pay taxes for the iupport of the Government, State and National, and for the maintenance of charitable and reformatory arid henal insti- Lrutioris, but the justice and right of paying taxes to enaoie a lew oi our lellow-citizens to engage in certain kinds of business which they saywill not pay th'fm unless they are prpvideq jwith means by their neighbors, are npt yisible nor can they be made -visible to reflecting people. The people should pay taxes to jthe State only, not to a sect oft heir fellow citizens." Tariff taxation is a" viola tion of lindividual -liberty, and, as the Su preme Cjourt of the United States has de cided in the Kansas case, it is robbery, pure knd simple. ! This is sound and, we think, unanswera ble. If) it is .correct to say that a high tariff depresses the price of cotton is itPot certain (hat the grower of cotton is injured thereby j? The present tariff not only bur dens th0 whole country wijlh taxes levied for the benefit of a few, but it 'places a peculiar apd extra burden upon the South ern piauter. Not only must he -pay the high taxes levied by the tariff on atl such articles as are useclin the country at large, but he recejyes ; special injury in the very article hpit enables him to buyhis" cotton. The tariff strikes directly at the basis of his prosperity. It attacks him. first in the price of ; cotton, reducing his income his buying power. Jt next lays a heavy tax upon hiitv in the purchase of - every article that is used upon his farm: ' ' The editorial of Jhe News and Courier is forccfuVjand clear. " It shows the origin of trade is ;exchange what you have for what some .ne else has. J Trade is baiter, but money is the tool used to facilitate trade, To buy, you must have means pf selling. I If you. raise cotton you must be able to get it to market. If you get' it to market $nd are well paid prices must be bp. Anything that lowers, depresses the price of J.our product, injures you: If it is in the shape pf, a tariffa government tax then Such taxis' burdensome, offensive. It robs you of mspy dollars. But let us.qudte from our Charleston neighbor It says, and we ask the' reader to scrutinize the argu ment j .CV The nteresfot tfe Southern agricultai risTis in maintaining and augmenting the price of Cott9n- -Jt is proved that American manufactures are insufficient for this pur pose, .Only ijoc-third'pf the crop iscon sumed i4 th;j pbufttry., The specie value of the cottbij gpod3 imported into the United States-Inj 18 9 .Vas $;9,P28,310.

It is thc special pet of New England, Pennsylvania,' New 2 Jersey, and the manufacturing cities generally. It gives a heavy blow to the agriculturist while furnishing potent aid to the Northern manufacturer. The Southern planter Who favors a tariff is ignorsnt of his.own inter esis. He is agreeing thai he and his fellow citizens in the South shall be burdened from year to year with a grievous and in tolerable tax in the shape of custom dues in order that New England , manufacturers aad Pennsylvania ironmongers may grow rich. -.We agree with the New and Observer that the cotton planters of the South should be "tha last persons in the United States t6 support, or consent to, Protective duties."

The Governor has instructed the At torufj-Geneial to examine into the man agement of all railroads chartered before the war, in order to see if lorfeitures have been incurred, with reouest that lenl stops be at ouce taken to have such for feitures declared. "The Piedmont Railroad Company, it is suggested, has toneited its charter." We have no opinion on the subject of these examinations except that if they ate in the interest of the Best;Bostou syn dicate, as against the Ciyue-IJiiford syn dicate, our sympathies are with the latter combination. If, however, tho cou tracts with the State have uot beeu carried .out, and if auything is to be gained for the State, let the investigation proceed. Charlotte Observer. And yet it is nndeniably true that the Richmond and Danville Company have displayed great energy in pushing for ward the work on the Western Road. When we consider the snail -pace of the the State's operations--how long she fiouudercd iu tho mire at mud cut; and how hopeless everybody felt as to the complctiou of the work within the scope of tho present generation it is a matter of astouishment that the Richmond and Danville have crossed tho French Broad and gone 12 or 15 miles beyond and is rapidly approaching Paint Rock. They havcpu&hed their way on the Ducktowu branch, if not altogether upto the con tract, certainly to a very reasonable and praisworthy extent.- There are but few, we trust, who would bo willing to see the State do an illiberal thing on this subject, and we cannot believe she will do it. We have great confidence iu the wisdom and fairness of each and every member of tho Board of Commissioners, and feel" suro they will-uot demand more than what is just, nor concede any important right of the State, but so far n3 possible will make a proper recognition of the efforts of the Richmond and Danville Company to com ply with t heir cou tract. Postscript. Mr. A B. Andrews, Pres. ident of the Western N. C. Railroad, has replied, through tho Charlotte Observer, to the assertions of Senator Vance as re ported in that paper a few days ago, and which will be fouud in this paper. Mr. Andrews refutes Senator Vance's position in regard -to several important points, ttud opens the way for a grave controver sy betweeu himself and the Senator, un less at can bo shown that both are near- enough right to recoucile minor differ ences. ; We will publish Mr. Andrews' reply in our next.

He is also first in the expression of opinion on its merits : -.The. contents of the little book areex ceedingly entertaining to me ; and I should think that everybody who jeyer lived in Rowan, would be anxious to iead it ; so that; 1 marvel much, that an edition of 3Q0 copies will snpply the demand for it ! Aa a local 'History, the j little book i well 'got up;' Its narrations aro in that familiar phraseology which is calculated to risuder it popular among; tho masses: Tlie w titer's historic lemipwcences' are nchly elaborate; the persons presented to view, and the incidents, recited therciu, are nearly all as familiar to myiuiud as a thrice-told tale: Ten yeai-s of intimate social intercourse with that substantial, intelligent, patriotic, houored, and now; i-evered scneration of Western Carolini ans, who constituted the model of society fifty and ixy years ago, served to store uiy- recollection ijuit or the events ana actors of that really historic era, recount ed to my ready lUtvniug almost daily fur long years, by my honored 'seniors, male and teicalc, tn balisbnfy, m Rowan in truth, in all Western Carolina: So that 1 can testify iu a good degree, to tho verity ot your author's recUaJ.-foiostly all of which I had1 previously hoard by word of mouth, lanapart of which I tr r You may readily Jiuaeine, therefore, that 1 read the little book over with very great interest. liicrcti one thing, however. in which the. author has been somewhat remiss, and in which you, niy ever good friend, might have prevented tho Lapse. : A faithful 'History' of Rowan, it seems to me, should not. have . ignored one of the most potential motors in the prestige and prosperity of Rowan's metropolitan town, Salisbnvy viz : the pioneer newspapers ot all Y estem Carolina, located there, the 'Western Carolinian.'1 and the Caroli na Watchman : Their influence, I think, til moulding society, and m building up a religious community there, and giving m ' m mm . m bausoury w status nneaa ot nil other towns in the western part of the State, was more potent thau any other agency. There was no Minister of the Gospel set tled in Salisbury when I first drove my Stakes of life there : And the first minis ter that organized a 'society' there, was encouraged to do so- through the Carolin ian, the Rev.

The au thor of the little history is clear on that score, having repeatedly urged it. It was pot undertaken for several reasons: Our daily regular duties are about as heavy as we are willing to bear.

A reporter of the Observer yesterday called on Governor Vance, hoping to learn something of the action of the com missioners of the Western North Carol iu a road at their meeting in Raleigh, Wednes day. The. scribe found the Governor ev en more communicative on the affairs of that much discussed corporation than his most sanguine expectations had led him to hope for. The reporter began by asking what ac tion, if any, the commissioners had taken. "All that I can tell you for publica tion," he answered "is that we officially notified Governor Jarvis, wlio is himself one of the commisioners, you know', that tbe assignees of the road were not com ing up to the contract. .We had refraiur ed from doing this before, but this lime we were all agreed .w "I u what particulars do yon accuse them of failing t" "The official notification brings four separate charges : ' 'fist. In the Janguagq of the contract they had not Tproaecu ted the work with diligence and energy.'' "2d. They had failed to keep a force on the Ducktowu branch . sufficient to complete the road to Pigeou River by the 1st of July, thetime in which they were required to complete it by the cou tract. "3d. Vfhey failed to reached Pigeon River and Paint Rock by the 1st of July. 4th. They aro daily discriminating against North Caioliua towns and cities." "What is the effect of this notice ?" ''It has no intrinsic force. The bill provides simply that the commissioners watch the progress of the work and re port thereon to. the Governor. . It pro vides further that they shall make this notice before declaring a! failure iu com plying with the contract, aud even after sqch declaration the. bill provides ninety days of grace to the contractors or their assignees before the Governor shall take steps on belialf of the State to have the contract leg-ally annulled. You know, of course, that the commissioners iu the ca pacity of commissioners j have no power to act ; they only report officially to the Governor." - j " ' "I notice that in your statement of the commissioners' charges, you speak of tie 1st of July as 'the time on which their failure violates the limit; allowed by the contra t. I know that that was the origi nal time within which the completion to Pigeon. River .and Paint Rock was requir ed, but the present controllers of the road claim, I understand, an extension of the time to the 15th f November. The com missioners have the right to make such extension ; have they not done so f "True enough they do claim that the commissioners made such extension; Yon have observed that we ignored such claim. Such claim is-in tbe first-place founded on fraud, and ru the- secoud place the present controllers have ijot even com plied with tbe conditions annexed to the ter from Governor Jarvia desiring mo to attend a meeting of the commissioners in Raleizh. fl did so. The request of the present controllers for . au extension of time was renewed at the meeting. :We; the commissionersGor. Jurvis. Pr. Worth aud myself required that the ap- plication lor me exieiswn wuum uc made iu the name of the assignees of the Western North Carolina Railroad, and not, as it was made, in the name of the Western North Carolina Railroad Com- juiny simply. We also agreed to consent only on the farther condition that the terms of such extension shonld require the assignees to keep continually on the two lines a sufficient number of Hands to complete the work within the extended time. There may possibly have been one or two other unimportant conditions de manded. I do not recollect : but the pres ent controllers did not comply with these . t . r . - conauions auu tue exieusiou was noc granted. I returned, however, to .Wash ington with the nudcrstnndiu'r between' tbo two other eommbsittm-rs and myself that they, a majority t tiio commission ers, were to sigu the graut of extension and to consider that I consented on tlie compliance by ' the 'preselut controllers with the demanded conditions. At tho expiration of two weeks there had beeu no renewed application for the extension complying with tho conditions. I eon eluded that the present controllers were procrastinating to cam time, and wrote lot tor to Raleigh to Governor Jaryis and Dr. u orth, withdrawing niy consent to the extension under any 'circumstances. and beirjiinc them not to act without me. Both. letters reached Kaleigli on the same nay, auu uot. jnrvis ueing ui iys cuy rcceiyed his; Mr. Bain, Dr. Worth's clerk. forwarded the letter to the Doctor to Asheboro, where he was at tho time. From his action I presume Colonel An drews became aware of tho letters and their purport, for he sent a messenger on the same train which carried niy letter to Dr. Worth. When tho train reached nigh Point Colonel Andrews' messenger hired a horse and beat the mail to Ashe boro. He immediately j waited op Dr. Worth and obtained his signature to an extension of time to the 15th of Novem ber. When Dr. Worth got my letter you can imagine that he was not entirely complacent. But Governor Jarvis also having signed the grant, the chum was thus originated by signatures of two -of the commissioners, one of them having beeu obtained iu the fraudulent maimer described. We ignore that grant uotouly on tho ground of fraud but also from the fact that even its conditions have not been complied with, a sullicient number of bauds to complete the lines to the pro posed points not haviug been put on the road within six weeks after the signing ofthegrtiut of extension, which they claim as being legal." "DtK-s the original bill require that there Khali Jto continually on the lines a sufficient number of bauds to insure the completion of the road within tho time without relying on a large increase of tho force as the expiration ot the time draws near!" "Yes ; that is a condition, not only of the original bill, but also of tire grant of the extension, which the present controll ers claim us operative, j It. may appear purely technical :u:d unimportant to the casual examiner, but on the contrary it is a wic provision or much importance, as it requires a constant and tauiblo cuar- antee of the goodjuith and diligeuce of tne assignees." This appearing to be the extent of the information Gov.-Vance seemed willing to give, the reporter thanked him aud re tired. Note. Gov. Vance has subsequently corrected two or three inaccuracies in the above report of the interview. It should also be noted that the language employed is tho reporters, ! Railroad Items. On Thursday the commissioners of the Western North Carolina Railroad report ed to the Governor that (Messrs. Clyde, Logan aud Buford, who claim to be the assignees of Mr. W. J. Best, are not pros ecuting the work on the road according to the contract made botwem the State nud Mr. Best, specifying the particulars in which they have tailed. Among other things the commissioners report injurious discriminations against North Carolina cities aud towns. The Governor has for warded to the assiguees a copy of the re port, with notification that unless all cause of complaint be immediately re moved, the whole power of the adminis tratiou would be exerted to rectify the evil. , The Governor has called the attention of the Attorney-Geueral to the fact that the Richmond & Danville Railroad has withdrawn all rates heretofore made with the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, and requested him to examine the question of attacking the lease of the North Carolina Railroad by the Rich mond and Danville. In view of the fact that the corn crop of central North Caro lina is an ntter failure, while that of the eastern counties is most abundant, to shut up that section from the ecu t re will prove to be a great hardship. The Governor has instructed the Attorney-Geueral to examine into the man ogemeutofall railroads chartered before tho war, iu order to see if the forfeitures have, been incurred, with request that legal steps be taken to have such forfeit ures declared. . ..
