The bodily transfer of a third of the State, assessed tax value, would not satisfy the claim which Banker Morton is pushing with relentless vigor. t-u These ajlcs-ed obligations are known-ns the North Carolina special tax. bonds. The history" of these bonds involves, per- jhaps, the most gigantic conspiracy to pluiuler a, state byiiegislative process that has been attempted since the forma-. tiou of tho uovernraent. , They .were issued over twenty years ago by an ille gal body convened by military authoriiy in flagrant violatio?of law and of tne T.yoi citizens, w no nau previously leeti disfranchised by the thousand Jo order that they might not stand in ; the way oi ine inievcs. . inis oouy, com posed mainly of 'newly enfranchised negroes and " the most venial class of white men, wa3 entirely subservient to t select cabiil ,of-thieves, mostly. ?of,thei genus carietl)agger, who . had only to give orders to have them promptly exe cuted. It was this cabal that hatched out the gigantic special tax bond scheme. Millions upon millions were voted away to railroads without any consideration to the State. The conspirators brazenly exacted a commission from the benefici aries of 10 per ceut. down. When 25, 000,000 of these bonds had been wan tonly voted away the chief conspirators pocketed their tolls and decamped. To this day the authorities of the State Are hu u ting the ringleader to bring lam to justice, which means the penitentiary if he can ever De returned to the estate s jurisdiction ' - ' The night of the main thieves -was so portentious that their clumsy minions took alarm and $11.000,000. of. the $25.- 000,000 voted were never issued. The $U, 000,000 actually issued, with $16,000,000 accrtied interest, constitute the infamous claim Which Candidate Morton, through f the firm of -Morton, Bliss & Co., is' suing the State of North- Carolina UM collect. Worthless from the beginning by reason of obvious, constitutional defects, these bonds never had any financial ratings to speak ol The slight value affixed td them, few cents on the dollar, was purely fictitious, being fixed by unscrupulous speculators whose only hope of collect ing was through , the panic agencies of bribery fraud aud intimidation by which they had been begotten. The first effort in this direction was promptly check mateu ny wc court of last resort in North Carolina, composed exclusively ol Republicans, which pronounced them invalid and unconstitutional. To still further protect iunoceut investors the people of North Carolina, by an over whelming majority nt the polls, served notice on the world that they would never pay oue dollar of them. They were taken to New York and hawked about the streets without, finding pur- cnasers at any price. - Ureat blocks o them were left in gambling places : and nouses of ill-repute. An .immense1 for tune was found in the house' of a noted courtesan of the day, left there by a cer tain holde r as a memento of an evening's visit. this circumstance gave to them the name of the Josie Mansfield bonds. byWhich they arc known in North Carc- luni t-j mis uuy. 1 "- - It was long after this, when they had ceased to have even a fictitious rating, mat tney were gathered in for a song hy Banker Morton's firm. - No respectable North Carolina politician of either party had ever dared to advocate their pay ment, and they had passed out of the conversation and minds of men until revived by the recent suit to payment brought by this firm. compel The grounJ upon .which this action rests is ingenious. - The finding of the Court of North Carolina declaring the bonds void, left no ground for hope in that quarter. The provision of the Con stitution of the United States prohibiting the bringing of a suit against a State through the Federal Courts by- a citizen of another State, blocked another ap proach. The wily Mr. Morton bethought him of a iother turn. Suit was instituted in the Federal .Courts of this State through a citizen of the State, one Tem ple, who had ben presented with a bond in order to qualify him to aid in robbing his fellows.' rln the Circuit Court sitting in Raleigh, Judge Bond (the same Judge Bond whose decision in ,4he celebrated election cases arising out of, the compli cated situation in South Carolina in'1876, gave him wide-spread if - not '"enviable uvvviiv.ij ; ni;ivicl twit 'vulk' COUK1 OC brought as plaintiff electedr -Judge Sey mour, Republican, dissented. i There upon an appeal was taken to the Su-T preme Court of the United States, aud is now pending.

It brunt diflhiulfrto conceive the advantage which Mr. Mor ton might derive for the furtherance of ns claim for his election to the Vice- Presideucy. The bondholders have openly boasted that they propose to apply to Congress to pass a law Irequir- ng States to meet their obligations. Mr. Morton as Vice-President would have the deciding vote in the Senate in .case of a tie. lie -would be iu a position; also to influence appointments to the-Su Cqurt in case of .

General Can by promptly sent his bayonets to enforce his decrees, and the authorities were powerless. A- brand new Constitution was framed and forced upon the people ut the point of the bay onet. It. has since been overturned by an ovenvhelmiug vote of the people. The people's inonev was squandered right aud left, and in defiance even of the military edict, a body whose ouly func tion was to make a constitution, voted4 $1,183,000 "special tax bonds" as u gift, to certaiu railways to eneoumge, . internal improvements."

The body was also created by the same arbiter of military authority, and :iu most ilagmut violation of the law.! To'morc effectually serve the base purposes of the con.piraey, General Can by, took it upon himself even to construe the law, and promptly disfranchised tens of thousands of white men. The Courts and properly elected executive autliori ties of the State were defied, and to make sure of the game, General Jonathan Worth, Governor of the StatCj was shorn of his authority, and V. W. llokien put in his stead. .. jo more uisgraceiui assemoiage ever convened thau this unconstitutional Leg islature, thrust upon the people without form of law, and in uo sense representa tive of them. Ignorance aud viciousne.-s ran riot, and the thievery cabal whicl ordered it and owned it beutdowu brave ly to their work of preying on the vitals of the people. "New North Carolina ueeded railroads and a cry went urf for "Internal improvements," and railways were projected from every town in the State without regard to cost. It was a well devised plan. It appealed, to , the interest , of every community. Every county and every town was to bs oh a boom. Immense strides were to be made immediately in material prbgre??, and the Whole Stale was to be developed at once by means of internal improvements. Such was tho song of the fcircue. Such were the promises of Deweese and Laflin and Littlefield and the other plotters for the spoils. But surely bonds would be necessary. Surely the State must sub scribe heavily; surely the administration must appoint the olhcers and the olhcers must be of the faithful. And so it hap pened that even at the special session the Western North Carolina Railroad was cut in twain and six millions lot bonds were ordered to be issued to the Western Division.

The pool being formed, Andrew Jone-s, Littlefield, Swepson and Branch & Co., put their bouds with a firm styled Ltlev cc Uouglierty as a margin to carry out this prograni'iu-; and the speculation l)egan. Latlni, Jlartiuilalc, Moore and others were also parties to the specula tion. The State Treasure? was one of the chief conspirators, the scheme being that he should advertise that the interest lorg in default would be pan! upon presenta tion of coupons. For this purpose the pool put Up some cash, and the educa tional and other funds' of the State were misapproriated. Under such manipula tions the bonds advanced a tew cents: but just as the spcculation was beginning to work the gold panic of that year set iu, and suddenly uU sorts of stocks and bonds declined, and in a few days the pjin was complete."

Meantime the swindled citizeus of this Stato has been wrought up to a stite of the highest excitement. It was no long er possible to cry down t'le tnonstious iu- tuuity that- hail been put upon them. Charges of bribery and fraud were oj enly made on every hand. The few Ueinc- cruts in the Legislature wce alert and active. Rei utablc Repul l.e:.ns joined hands in demanding a rigid investiga tion, and the meting out of f-uinniary justice ' to! the scoundrels. Kiugleader LittleheUt hastily fled, and has since I ecu a fugitive from justice. The Democrats carried the ensuing election, and that forever sealed the' fate of the infamous special ta ; bonds. The other -conspirators who figured in this inoiistious job.are either dead or have slunk away into obscurity. Deweese was. forced to cave Congress, to which he had been elected, and seek pastures green, for selling a cadetship to West Point. '- llolden, the bayonet Governor; was promptly and properly impeached, and debarred from exercising the func- tions of citizenship. Some of the smaller offenders naturally gravitated to the pen itentiary for such breaches of decorum as chieken-slealihg. 1 ? Such is a brief history of the special tax bonds, which LeiiP.
