RALEIGH LETTER. Dockery And the Special Tax Bonds. On October 4. 1875, (p. 196, Convention Journal), the spec ial order In the Constitutional Convention was : Ordinance No. 200 : An ordi nance to amend sec. 6, act 1,- of the Constitution, providing for the repudiation of the special tax bonds. The substitute offered by the committee was as follows : (A.) 'No future General As sembly shall levy any tax or raise any money to pay the principal or interest of .any of the bond sof the State issued in1 aid of any railroad corporation under the authority of the Constitutional Convention held in 1868, or bv the authority of any subsequent General As sembly hearing date between the first days of January 1868 and 1875, without first submit ting the question to the qualis fied voters of the State.' -Mr. Durham offered a substi tute that the General Assembly shall have no power to lew taxes for the payment or ad- THE OUTLOOK, POLITICAL" LT, FROM THE CAPITAL.' A Pisa for Much Soeakina. The Good Result in old Chatham. Close of the Joint Canvass, etc. The camcaien thus far has progressed satisfactorily, so far as the Democrats are concerned. In every section of the State, especially the West and centre the fires are burning brightly upon every stump, and the people are thoroughly aroused and at work. More speeches have been made np to this date than is usual so early in the campaign, and my. information is that the efforts of our speak ers and workers has met with success. I know that there are those who discount speaking in campaigns and say that it ac complishes no real good. They with Fowle, and Fowle declin ed to go with Dockery. I am sorry that the joint canvass could not be continued. There is no questioning the fact that the Democrats made by the Joi4t canvass, not because Fowle 'wiped up the earth' with Dockery, for he did not do it, but because Judge Fowle made an unanswerable argument in favor of Democratio continu ance in power : and also be cause, by Dockery's own con iessions, ne votea lor negroes ia preference to wnite men. But this is not all the reason I regret it. My chief reason is that Dockery is such a dema gogue that, unanswered, "Us false statements may have weight "srlth those who ao nc go to the bottom, of his state ments. For example : In Ililis boro he made an argument in favor of a Protective tariff iu which he eaid that it was all stuff about the people of North Carolina paying any money on the Protective tariff. 'Why,' said he, 'I'll wager that not 81,000 worth of imported goods Is now brought into Orange county a year. It is imported How Dockery Stands in Eerard to -tnelTe-rces. that is for man to conquer and modern science has demonstra- juMment of more than five per Lre exactly right peovided the g0bds that pays the tax.' Now tiibiue an affliction like thorns and weeds and poison ak and devouring worma and Mi ni dogs and measles and toutharhe and pain of all kinds ti ud cold and heat and fire and flood. AH of these have their remedies. Most of them have been overcome by man's fcigen uity and all will be. The pow er of- pestilence has already been Livkea- by preventives jfiS't as the power .of pain has been broken by anesthetics. ( )ar generation . suffered more tli.trt its fhare more from toothache aud earache and col ieache and beestings and stone- bruises and. stnmpedtoes. If a man had to have an arm or a leg amputated or a wen cut off he wasn't put! fo sleep but just had to be held like he was in a vice and take the excruciation just as it came. If he went blind there was no surgeon to remove the cartaract. If he had the fever not a drop of wa ter was given him to cool his lurched tongue. I helped to hold a poor fellow once as he liy i-tretrhed upon along table. l' held his foot hard and strong while the surgeon was cutting oil' his leg just below the knee and when he sawed through the hour, the sovered leg and 1, came down ' together for it made me aick before I knew it. lie stood it bettor than I did. The flow of human blood al wayd makes lue sick, and I never got hardened to it during the war. At the battle of Mal vern' Hill I saw. more of the horrors of war thau evtr before t alter. .Most ot the cleatins weru from rhell and the ,,ded wen) awtully torn and maVigUd. I recall a soldier who saUlaan- iiig against a tree, his rifle grasped with rigid hands and the 'Muzzle resting t on 1 the grtiiiJid. He was .srfBtiifg" tip just where ha fell, but his head was entirely gone and the blood ftill oozing froin his neck. 1 Lave seen the army wagons eroding the shallow trenches where the dead ef the battle of Seven Pines Jiad been buried a few day3 before, and as the wheels crushed down in to the soft wet clay, an arm or a leg would be forced up and fall again, aud ghastly bloated show itself as the' heavy wheels passed upon the breast. But all this is nothing compar ed with the silent helpless grief that comes, to a house hold when the "pestilence is there. . First one loved one is striken and then auother. De Bpair treads; close upon the heels of Hope. The house seemed dTomei, No cheerful voices, no happy sorrgs: music and smiles have gone 'and bad whisperings and sadder tears have taken their places. These 8:eiies are heart-rending and no one wishes to give them thought; hut all ought to, for the sufferers are our fellow creatures, and but! or our sym pathy would be more pitiless Hull. J hat man who gave Mayor Ilewiti twelve thousand dollars for the Jacksonville suf ferers and would not give' his name, did not turn away from the picture. He thought of it by day and by night, and it followed him about, aud his ereat-bifj heart opened wide I would like to have that man's picture in my parlor, How helpless these .refugees from the awful pestilence must have felt when they realized the full force of the quarantine that was against them.

Blackstone says that there is jno wrong without a remedy, and so the doctors say there is no disease without an antidote. I believe this on great general principles. I be lieve in what lis called the Providence of God. ' As He gave King Solomon knowledge of all the herbs that were use ful to man for medicine so He has hidden in His I wonderful storehouse remedies for plague and pestilence and the men of science must find them. . My wife, Mrs. Arp2 reads the papeis and she sighs and sym pathies with these poor refu gees and says it all reminds her ot war when she and half a dozen little Children were run ning from the" Yankees and nev er got fairly settled down at one place before she had to get up and hunt another. Some people gave her welcome and some didn't The! children were always hungry, and. pro visions were scarce, and Con federate money unpopular, and most everbody was in a condi tion to "welcome the coming and epeodtho., parting "guest" and sometimes the speed was more Impressive than the wel come. The children wpre out their. clothes before and behind and there was no more - cloth, and she had to patch and patch, and knit hew socks out of the tops of old ones, and make caps out of scraps, and have some shoes made out of half-tanned leather, and the poor little things never got a stick of can dy nor a picture-book nor a Jews'-harp nor a pocket-knife for a whole year. She says she never worked so hard in her life and never kept so well and the children got along splend id so far as health is concerned. for the doctors were all off in the army. , Running from the Yankees was not so bad as run ning from pestilence, for there cent, of the special tax bonds, etc; Mr. Jarvis moved to amend this substitute by striking out the words 'more than five per cent, of thus taking from the legislature all power to pay anything on" the special tax bonds Mr. Young moved .to lay the whole matter on the table.

Dockery votea nay. Tliat ended the matter. Those who were opposed to repudiat ing the special tax bonds were in the majority. The measure fell.- Dockery voted to lay on the table. He voted to adjourn. He voted against Jarvis' amendment that the legislature should have no power to levy taxes to pay or to adjust the special, tax bonds. And he voted against the measure on its passage and it was defeated. soeaking is poor speaking. But if the speaking is good and the people come out to ,hear it, there is no question in mv mind that it accomplishes good. The best result of good speak ing is that it gives points and arguments to the workers, and gives them a will to work. I have often observed a com munity inactive and seemingly asleep as to its political duty. Let an effective and stirring speech be made. It sets the people to work with a vim, and they spare no effort to' win suc cess. The speech did not get the men to the polls, but it in terested those who heard It and they exerted themselves man fully and success was the re sult. The direct making of converts is usually the least of the good done by public speak ing, although this good is not to be under-rated. But if there were no conversions, I phould still believe in public political speaking. -1 have so much of the Primitive Baptist in me that I believe that a large part of preaching ougM to have as its aim the 'comforting of the saints.' If this is trne of gospel preaching it Is likewise true of political preaching. uut x uv not stop with my Primitive Baptist friends. I hold with the Methodists that you ought to cry aloud and spare not, and call sinners to repentance. I am certain if there ever was need of calling the man who sins against light of the Truth, there is likewise need of call ing npon those who are in the bogs of Radical wrong doing to come to the light of Demo cratic truth. And our demo cratic speakers are doing this from one end of the State to the other. the most illiterate man in Wil son county could tell Mr. Dock ery that when a man buys duti able goods, whether manufac tured in America or in Europe he pays the tax. Mr. Dockery knows this too, or he is the most ignorant man who ever aspired to be Govornor of his State. If he doesn't know it he is too Ignorant to be Gov ernor. If he does know it, and makes the false statement to the people, he is not worthy to be Governor. He can take either horn of the dilemma he chooses. THESTAIIDITOW. reducing the Surplus.

Teller Marier, of the sub treasury! office, New , York says that "a certain way to tell good paper money from bad is by means of two small blue silk threads, which run through tha bill lengthwise, and which may be plainly seen by holing 'the note to the light.. These are woven into the paper by a secret process and have never yet been successfully counter feited, theasual imitation be ing by means of a mark drawn across the paper." j - "Say, Jack, I pee you wear a military hat, and people call you captain, I did not know you were ever in the army?" "Well no, I never was, but I am draw ing a pension and feel as if I ought to do something for it." A man cannot - kick himself with the proper spirit. He never knows how to resent it. I am cenvinced that a quick temper is an unfailing indica tion of a limited intelligence and a lack of mental quickness. If the mind were large enough to grasp the true relation of things, to see how small a point in the universe this temper rousing episode occupied, and if it could see this quickly in a flash of thought the outburst would be averted Atlantic. I will instance one county as evidencing the good results of preaching the- glorious gospel of Democracy. " It is Chatham. In the last Legislature Chatham had Radical and Independent members. We experienced a Waterloo defeat there, and everyone who had been inter ested in securing the election of Mr, Bunn to Congress has been anxious that Chatham should come back to its old-time Democratic majority. The Chat ham people most of all were determined to retrieve their losses. They went to work early. There has been more speaking done in that county than in any county in the State unless it be in Buncombe. Now all parties are agreed that Chat bam is in excellent condition. Messrs. Sanderlin, Bunn, Broughton and Cooke have have spoken in the county and the people are thoroughly aroused and confident of giving a Demociatic majority of 500. I am told that the joint1 discus sion at Siler City was worth a great deal to the Democrats 'and that many direct changes are attributable to the speaking. In that speech, as in all Dock ery's speeches, he makes three admissions that are enough to cause white men to repudiate him : 1. To represent the public in the Legislature he voted for Haryey Quick, a negro lawyer, against John W. Sneed, one of the best white farmers of Rich mond county. 2. For Coroner, he voted for ielix Jacobs, a negro man, against Daniel Gay, a one-legged Confederate soldier. 3. For Register of Deeds, he voted for one N. W. Harllee, a negro man, against Alexander L. McDonald, a white man com petent to fill the office and es teemed in the county. So far the campaign, directed by the State Executive Com mittee, nas been confined to the West and centre. Beginning with next week the speakers will be transferred to Eastern North Carolina and there wil be argument upon argument in all the towns and cross roads of the cotton belt and the sea coast. This part of North Caro lina jjays 38 per cent, of tLe whole amount of State taxa tion. In the Scales election the 'negro' counties of the State (as they are called) cast 45,424 remocratic votes.- There -are only ui.uoi uiie votea in muse counties. Therefore it will be seen that out of every one hundred white votes in these counties ninety votes for Scales. This left ten white votes to be divided between the stay-at-homes and the Radical party. Eastern North Carolina is more concerned and mere interested in Democratic succesl than any other portion of the State. For its own pro tection it must give the Demo cratio State ticket a large ma jority. I hope it will even in crease its 1884 majority. It can be done and ought to be done. Colonel Dockery d Id not be gin his political career with the present campaign. Thirty years ago he was a prominent member of the Leislature,and upon the Journal of the House, of which he was a member, left a record that is not without in- erest now. The times indeed have changed since that day, and the valiant Colonel has chang ed with them. This was, per haps, to have been expected. But whether to be erp"ected or not, the change has come and is eo striking that we Invite es pecial attention to one part of his record that others also may take it in. To-day the doughty Colonel Is cheek by jowl with his be loved negroes, and, unlike Judge Russell, who says the negroes ara "savages," and "no more fit to kovern than are their breth ren in African pwamps or so many Mongolians dumped down from pagan Asia," he thinks thfeymake delightful citizens, and when met in convention constitute "as noble a body of men as ever assembled in our State." Then he could abide them only as slaves; then a poor free negro was a stench in his nostrils, so revolting and so repulsive to his instincts as a born slave-holder that he sought by act of Assembly to drive every o from the State or force him to become a slave. Well, perhaps, too, that was natural, for Dockery was born a slave-holder, educated a elave holder, and even now, after more than twenty years of freedom, the slave-holder feel ing is so strong in him that 'he talks about the nrvr- romen as negro "wenches." tt e venture to say that there are few men in the State beside Colonel Dockery who use the term. Of course we do not expect negroes to be affected by this change in their champion's views in regard to people of their color and race; nor will it affect them to know that during the war he advised in a public meeting in Richmond county that it be proposed to Mr. Lin coln to end the war if he would allow negroes to be held as pages 22V, 497, 499 and 600. To sum it all up ia a few words, then, Dockery was quite willing to make slavee of free negroes, but utterly unwilling to make freemen of slaves; now free negroea are. his chosen allies. Verily, water la not the only thing that will find IU level, for Dockery has found his. But what a level with a lot of, free negroes!

Tb President says 'No. Cut down I wag much pleased to know that my eloquent friend Dr. R. W. King, hasconsented to come to the Senate.

It comes to a close September 22nd, and Fowle goes his way and speaks in the East, and Dockery pursues his own. plan and ; speaks in the West. Judge Fowle had already spoken in the West and did not care to go over the same terri tory twice. "Therefore when Dockery proposed to continue the joint canvass, speaking in the West; Judge Fowle tendered a list of Eastern . appointments and asked for a joint canvass in them. Dockery declined to go The vanity of riches is singu larly illustrated in the case of the late John W. Garrett, for many years president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Mr. Garret was not merely president of a great railway system, but he was also the head of a large banking house. He gave the whole of his long life to the most arduous labor and practically died in the har ness. - Mr. Garett thus lived a life of toil and care in order to leave his vast fortune to his children two sons and a daughter. Of these T. Harrison Garrett, the younger son, was recently drowned while yachting in the Chesapeake, and there seems no longer any ground to doubt that Robert Garrett, the other son, is now hopelessly insane. Of all the children John W. Garrett slaved to make rich, but one remains capable of en joying her fortune, and she is bowed down with sorrow, un married and no longer young. It is a sad story, and one would think that it might teach a needed lesson to the men who, after amassing a competence, still toil on till old age in or der to gain added millions for dome ambitious purpose that can only be accomplished after their death, and which may ut terly miscarry after their own guiding hands are removed.

Young Bros. to suit tbe will it affect them to know that even after the war and while he was a member of Congress of at Washington, he refused to vote for the Constitutional Amendment that conferred upon them the right of suffrage and the other right of citizen ship.

Poor simple minded creatures, savages though they be, ad Judge .Run sell calls them, and utterly un fit for government, present affiliation and association will atone for the sins of a life-time. It matters not what Colonel Dockery thought iu the past, it matters. not what Jude Russell thinks to-day, the one may call them savages and the other talk to them to their very faces about their women as "negro wenches," if. election was to hold to.-morrow there would not be one hundred negro voters In all the State (and there are near 1 10,000 of them) who would not vote for both Dockery and Russell for any position for which they were candidates. But to Colonel Dockery' re cord. In the Legislature of 185S-'53 in the House of Commons a bill was introduced "to remove free persons ot color from the State." The object of the bill, as is plain from Its title, wa3 to get rid of all free negroes. The indefinite postponement of the bill was moved, which, if done, would kill the bill. The yeas and nays were called and motion to indefinitely postpono was car ried thereby killing I the bill. But Oliver H.' Dockery voted against postponement. See Hcuse Journal, pages 3G, 4 j and 456. In the same Legislature, iu the House of Commous, a bill was introduced "to enforce the collection of debts from free negroes." in this Dill was a provision to put up freo negroes to public hire for five years or less practically a sale for the term for which he was bid off to the lowest bidder. It was moved to indefinitely postpone the bill and thus to kill it, but Coloned Dockery voted against the motion. It was then moved to kill by lavine it npon the table, and Mr. Dockery again voted no! See House Journal, pages 230 513, 514 and S15. So much for Dockery and free negroes. Low for Dock ery and slaves. - In the House of Commons of the same Legislature a bill was introduced "to provent the emancipation cf slaves by will. A motion was uiado to kill the bill by laying it upon the table. Dockery voted again.-t the mo tion. , A motion was made to insert in the bill a provision authorizing free neroe to be come slaves, and Dockery voted for the motion, and When the bill came up on ita final ta.?ag it was defeated, but Dockery voted for it.
