Iii 1867 the Democratic State Trea surer reported the debt to be $15,238, 040.50. In November, 1870, three years after, Republicans in power, run it up to $33,084,041.75. In 1877, when the Democrats took charge, they found a debt of $41,788,710.45. Sup pose Republican rule had continued until now, and they had gone on in creasing the debt in the same propor tions We would I by this time had ; debt of nearly 8100,000,000. Fortu nately for the State, the people became alarmed at the dreadful state of the public finances, and rose up in their night and cast ou the party who was bankrupting and robbing them and put the Democratic party m power. Thev went in and found a debt of nearly $42,000,000 sgainsi the State, In the eleven years the Democratic v . . - i party lias been mh power, they have reduced this debt to about $4,000,000. They repudiated the special tax bonds put on thej State jjy the Republican party, for which the State received no benefit, and succeeded in compromising her just debt and bring it down to about the sum named. The debt made by the Republicans was for the purpose, of building rail roads. They issued State bonds to the amount of million, and placed, them in the hands of Little&!sd,Swepiion and others to sell in the New York market, and these agents did sell them, but the State did nr)t get ihe money, and ot eourse did not build one foot of rail- road. It tunied out to be a grand swindle, just as it was intended to be from the first, kind just such as was practiced on all the Southern States about this time. The leaders of the party in power got rich out of it, "made their jack," and were happy; but the people were left foamped in a debt large mough to bankrupt almost overy citizen. And; now these" Republicans want to get into power once morerand . auan sHtceeu ,mey win iravei another chance to make money by legalizing tne repudiated bonds. The Republican candidate for V dent, Morton, bolds a large amount of the" disowned ixmds, aiM is suing for them, and will pay well for every as sistance given j him to recover them. Let the people consider these things.

He was a native of Raleigh and Tennessee Uiiiouist His pympat hies were in some measure with the Southern WhitesK although "he cor dially, hated the more influential classes of public men at the-South. Gen. Sher- man bad maue icrms wuu vten. rfvonwu looking to a continuation of civil govern ment at the South . through the existing State governments. -President Jobusou set that aside and undertook a reconstruc tion of civil government as President. He soqn.published a proclamation grant insr amnestv and pardon to Confederates, making, however, sweeping exceptions of the inluiential classes, ana sei aooui es tablishing provisional governments in the different States. In North Carolina he appointed Gov. Ilolden pfovistonar Governor and di rected that a convention should be held to make changes in the State constitu tion and restore the State through the action of tKepeople4o its proper place in the Union. Ciov. Holden issued his proclamation accordingly, and delegates having beeu chosen, the convention assembled Octo ber 2, 1865. Its work founiTfavar in the eves of the President, for the people of all classes realized that the effort to es tablish a separate Southern Confederacy had failed, and they took a reasonable and sensible view of the situation. The convention was composed of very excel lent men, who wisely made prudent and proper changes in the laws conferring on the emancipated negroes certain rights which they pould not have had while slaves. The duty of restoring order, of re-establishing the dominion of the law, and of adjusting the relations of the races was intelligently and -patriotically per formed. The convention at onco provided for holding an election for Representatives in Congress, for Governor and State of ficers and fora Legislature." Gov. Worth was elected uovernor ana qualified. Legislature met, elected United States Seuators and continued the work of ad- justing affairs to the changed conditions. I lie President recognized tne State as be ing again fully in the Union. The Su preme Court of the United States announ ced that the State had never been oirt.of the Union, and soon afterwards the Chief Justiccof the United States came to North Carolina and held the Federal Court. - .And so the year 1865 came to its; close with North Carolina apparently restored to the Union. All was peaceful and har monious and the people were haj-d at work trying to make a living. But in Congress were omo rabid Re publicans, who were not content. Gov. Andrews, of Massachusetts, said, Ihe war being over, the, couutryshould prosecute peace as zealously tis formerly they had prosecuted the war, but some were not content to let Southern whites return to the Union without humiliation and deg radation. " Congress refused to admit the Representatives elected bv the people or the Senators elected by the Legislature. Congress had submitted to North Caro lina an amendment to the constitution oi of United States for ratification or rejec tion, which certainly was in recognition of her Statehood; but the faction which' now took possession of Congress disre garded all that and would riot consider that tho State was restored to the Union. For some purposes she was back; for others she was not. It depended on how (.the Radicles wanted it for the occasion. To humble and degrade the Southern whites they passed a Civil Rights bill in March, 18G6, abolished all race distinc tion and established so-called equality iu public schools, in churches, in places of amusement, in hotels, cars and all public places. This iniquity President Johnson ctoed and it was allowed to rest for the time.. 1 In the meantime Governor -Worth conducted the affairs of the State with wisdom and prudence, and thus another year elapsed. " A It was two years after Ithc war was over before the Radicals in ConirreSR do- cided what to do. They then claimed that the right to reconstruct the South ern States belonged to Congress and not to the President. Thev passed a hill tn abolish the existing State Governments which were the result of the President's reconstruction, and which he had formally-recognized, and to do the whole thin"- over again. The President had lft t!n affiurs of the Southern HtatrR in tH hands of the old voters, with Congressdetermincd to disfranchise larue uHiuoers oi wnues and to give the ballot to the negroes. It determined to revolu tionize the South. In this way tHe Rad ical faction iu Congress expected to build up a large Republican oartv at th RmithJ and to make the Southern States strong- L uuuib, ho umv oy ineir aid they could hold on to the reins of power in the Fed eral government That W.1H rmf ir?.a- another was tt humiliate; the Southern whites.

On February 20,1S67, they passed a bill upsettingtue State governments all over the South, obliteratinc State lins n,l treating the territory as conquered ter- nwry, parceling h out into military dis tricts. - President Johnson, who was very far from being lacking iu manhood, prompt ly vetoed the measure; but there was on ly a few Dtunocrats in those days in Con gress, the Republicans having a. Jnrr m. jority. and the infamous bill was passed 7 iwuiiiiu.i voie over tne veto. It became a law on March 2d. What was once North Carolina thus became a part of Military District No. 2, whose headquarters were at Charleston Gen. Canby was the satrap iu eomraand! Gov.

Appended to this was a list of the men who, he said, had been-elected. They were chiefly Radicals. . The Convention duly met on the 14th of January, 18G8, and framed a bran-new constitution, a patch-work concern, made up chiefly of the constitutions of Ohio and Illinois and other Northern States. This constitution provided for a Gov ernor, State officers, judges aud all the machinery of government, aiul it was determined to elect all the officers from Governor and Chief Justice down to township trustees, magistrates and con stables, legislature and all, at the same time. The election was held, if we recollect aright, for three days, under the super vision of Canby 's men, and the returns were made to him at Charleston. Gov. Ilolden was the RndieaJ nominee, while Thomas S. Ashe was the nominee for the Conservatives. At the same, time that the question was' submitted to the people whether the proposed constitution should be adopted or not. f V ' Gen. Canby said the 'constitution was adopted and that the Radical ticket was elected. Wo suppose that was so, and do not question it, but Gen. Cauby's people did the counting down in South Carolina. It was arranged for tho hew. State gov- eminent to go intojeflTecton July 4th, 18G8, but Gov, Worth claimed that the whole business was unconstitutional and void; that he was Governor of the State of North Carolina; that Congress had no power to pass any such law; that the on ly voters in North Carolina were the white citizens, and that he would not yield his office except to force. Ilewas forcibly ejected by Canby's subaltcriTand Gov. Ilolden became the Governor of the State. The new Legislature met at the same time in special session and as there was but a handful of Conservatives in it the Radicals had it all their own way. A man named Littlefield, a sutler, whose" recent occupation had been de spoiling the negroes who had congregat ed near Bcauford, South Carolina, was telegraphed for to come up and work the hands and he -came. He formed a combination by which un der the pretence of making liberal ap propriations -railroads $20,000,000 of bonds were to be issued, of which the ring was to get one-tenth for passing them. The Legislature in two years took $430,000 in pay. Littlefield was elected public printer and took $34,000 a year for that. For "contingencies" in one year they took $76,oOO. "Their tax levy was 80 cents oh the hundred dollars worth of property. During this time there was also in op eration the Freedman's Bureau aud the Union League, and the Ku Klnx Klan; and troubles began to growr whicfh cul minated during the suuimerJin Gov. "Hoi- den's declaring half a dozen eountis in a state of insurrection and sending Kirk's troops into them to arrest and subdue the people.
