G. The rule of the Carpet-baggers over the South con stitutes, in many respects, the most odi ous and despicable episode in modern history. Loss bloody than the reign of terror which followed the first efferves cence of popular feeling in France, caused by the tyranny of the Bourbons, Carpet bagism miije up for its shortcomings in this particular, by its utter baseness. Id the namo of universal freedom, philan- throphy, and cnlighienincnt,it enfranchis ed the emancipated slaves, but left them in their ignorance, without the means of education. It turned society upside down, placed the illiterate negroes on top, and the enlightened white people under their feet. Jp tho namo of inter nal Improvements they chartered railroad companies and appropriated millions on millions of public credit, in tho form of bonds sold tho bonds for anything they would bring in New York, and stole the money they got for them. The railroads were not built. In many cases not spade of earth was turned. In North Carolina the debt created by the Carpet baggers, in convention and "legislature" .io called, amounted to twenty lve millions The Supreme Court of tho State ougli elected under the rule of these men, with Chief Justice l'carson at its head, declared something like half of these bonds to have been authorized and issued iu violation of (ho very instrument which they had just made, and imposed qp m tho pooplp as a "constitution." Hut the money derived from tho salt of tho remainder of the bonds was not ap plied to the building uf railroads in North Carolina or anywhere else. It was near- ly all appropriated under one swindling pretense or another, to tho private uses of the negotiators of tho loans. It all went into the pockets of patriots and pa trjots nnd phjlaqthropiats wboMssued the bonds and placed them on tho market Some of theso Carpet-bagger bonds, which the people of North Carolina were called upon to redeem at par, were sold us low as ten cents in the dollar, and none brought over fifty cents in the dollar. This, however, was a point of secondary consideration with tho people, us none of the proceeds were destined to be expend od for their benefit. The facts are too well remcmborod by the people to ueed recital. The generation has not yet passed away that witnessed and suffered under them. But the bonds had passed out of the hands of the men who had issued them. They were in tho possession of other men. not innoocnt investors, nor Ignorant of the wholesale knavery by which they were croated and plaoed on the tuaikct. These investors in fraudulenee finding that the people of the State denied thoT validity, and through their representa tives, had declared them null and void, sought the ujd of the floral govern mcnt to enforce pay.u. qt. it.n there was an obstacle in the way. I'. vimption from the liability to be sued is among the reserved rights of the Stales; and how to avoid tho difficulty was the question. Certain Northern members of Congra-s, who deeply syinpathiiod io the scheme of robbing tho South, thought, like Sam Patch when be jumped over the Oennes see Falls, that some things can bo done .s well as some othors. Iut th,ey tuet with a similar futo. They were doomed to disappointment, Tboir attempt to smuggle through .Congress (just as sll vcr demonetization was smuggled through) t bill iuthoriiiog the United States Circuit Courts to issue mandamus OuBiuiandisg ahcriffj and oth"T Hlentrars of State taxes, to pay over the money or pay it jnto court, for the beneijt of the fraudulent State boquja, was failure. Tho history of this nefarious legisla live conspiracy, and how it was thwarted tud defeated, is uuriou aid interesting. Io the House of Representatives, Jan uarv 10. 1874. Mr. R. C. Parsons, of Ohio, introduced a bill to regulato pro eecdiogs in mandamus. This bill simply provided for keeping alive a proceeding by mandamus against a United States officer, who might die or resign, and. hojdhjs Bucpessqr to the duty ' required. This may have been d very proper not fur the prevention of needless delay in legal proceedings. According to tho state ments In the Congressional Record it was twloe In the House first on the day of its introduction, and again t month later, ot February 19. But this was an error of the reporters, as the Journal shows. It wis received in the Senate Februa ry 20th, and referred to the judiciary committee, where tho process of incuba tion in the courso of three and a half months, hatched out a monster with claws designed lor seizing upon the life blood of the South. The House bill simply provided, "That in all proceedings in mandamus in any of the courts of the United States, wherein any officer of iho United Ftates is made a party defendant, but who may die, resign, or bo removed from office before the final determination of such proceedings, the same may be continued in tho name of bis successor in office, and such proceedings may bo had ns in case of the death of a party defendant during the pending of o suit at law in the proper court," etc This was tho essential point of the bill; and, as is plain to see, it could have no special ap plication to Suutbern affairs, unless, indeed, it was intended to meet the con ditions of a particular case, in which an ex-marshal had been armed with author ity to trench upon tho rights of a Stato. The Senate took up the House bill on June 1 of the same year, 1871, and re ferred it to tho judiciary committee. Ou June 8 so respectable a man as Mr. Fre lingbuysen, of New Jersey, probably without being in the secret, reported it back with tho sinister amendment re ferred to. It is as follows : "See. 2. That tho Circuits Courts of the United States shall have, and arc hereby given, power to issue tho writ of mandamus in all cases at law or in equity of which they have jurisdiction, and in which such a writ by the common or the chancery law is an appropriate remedy, or by tho way of original proceeding where such writ is necessary to any juris diction possessed by said court and is a proper remedy." Tbc bill as amended was passed in the Senate. It wcut back to tho House for con ourreucc in the amendments. Pomoorals in that body began to su-pect something wrong. Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, moved that tho bill he icfened to the committee on the judiciary. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, hoped that the amendment of the Senate would be concurred in. Mr. McCrary, of entueky, desired to niQVo an amendment. The Spoakcr said the first thing In or der was the question of concurring in the amendments. Mr. Eldridge "I hope tho bill will not be passed. It is a bill that has been defeated once." Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts "It has lasscd the Jlptise.'1 WAS( THE MODERN DAILY NEWSPAPER. A cholco assortment of advertisements and holoB after the coupon fiend getl through with It every morning. GOOD ALL-PURPOSE GOWNS. Mr. Eldridge "There are not ten members on the floor who know what the object of the bill is." Mr. McCrary 'T move to amend the Senate amendment by adding, 'Any ser vice of any writ or process in any pro ceediog by mandamus shall be d,ccrucd sufiicieot if made iu accurdanoo with the statute of the Stato io which such pro ceeding is commenced, regulating the service of similar process io tho State oourts.' " The Speaker decided that at th.it stage of the proceedings a two-thirds vote was necessary to the adoption of the amend ment. The vote was taken, and the yeas were S3, noes aQlcsa thau two thirds or tho amendmout. But before tho vote was taken, Mr. Butler said that "every higher Stato oourt In the Union has tho right to issue a mandamus. This is only to give the Circuit Courts within the circuit of their own jurisdiction the same right." Mr. Eldridge--" It is a bjll ntcpded to take away the rights uf the Stato Courts. Mr. Butler, uf Massachusetts "Oh, no; it does not alter tho matter a hair, except as I have said." After the voto on Mr. McCrary 's amendment, the matter was dropped, and tho bill was suffered to lie on the Speak cr's table for the remaiuder of the session. Ou the last day of the next session, March 3, 1875, and at the eleventh hour of tho da.y, qr the qiht rather, when most uf the members were half asleep, the bill and amendments were smuggled through the House, and taken immcdi ately over to the Senate. Mr. Buthr still stood god-fat her, and assured the duicn or two meiuberi who could keep their eyes open that it was all rinlit n the Senate, Muroli 1875. Mr. Ransom "A mcs-age came from jhe IJouse a short time ago, announcing its agreement to the aujeudmout uf the Senate to the bill (II. R. No. 127:!) to regulate proceedings iu mandiiiuus, wish, beforo the bill Is enrolled, to have It referred to tho judiciary committeo for examination." Iho Vice President "Such a motion would not be in order at this stage of tho bill." 'v.- . . - : Mr. Ransom "I have oon,sulte(J wjtb, mcrntrora f the judiaiary porflntltteo,; and (hey think the bill needs' examination." Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts "If the bill is bore, I think we had better leave it on the table, and the Judiciary oouimlttco can look at it. Mr. Ransom "The Senator from Massachusetts will pardon me for saying that it is a bill in which my State and other State are greatly ooneerncd. I have consulted with the judiciary oom ruittco, and on the suggestion of leading i members of that committeo I make the motion that the bill be now referred to the committee for examination. The bill has not yet been enrolled." The. ico VresiAent "The bill la in tbc possession of the House of Represen tatives. It is not in the possession of the Senate." Mr. Ransom "Then I move that the Senate request tho recall of the bill from the House." The Yjco I'resUlcrjt '.'The Senator from North Carolina moves that a mes sage bo sont to tho House nsking the ro turn of the bill." The motion was agreed to, and the bill was returned by tho House to perish in the arms of its parents of tho judiciary committee. The Cincinnati Enquirer of March 5, tho day next after tho adjourn ment, gives the following graphic qccouni of the scenes in the Senate chamber that night : "The Senate this morning," says the Enquirer, "after its night session, pre sented the appearance of a battle-field. Scraps of waste paper, torn up speeches and mutilated eloquence, bills and billet doux, duns and what not, lay scattered. all over the floor, in one vb'tp, undistip imishable litter. Tho night had been eventful. Tho Ohio Senators had killed off tho increased appropriation for tho Western rivers, and a majority of one vote had stricken down the appropriation for tho Mississippi levees, despite the earnest labors of General Alcorn. General Ransom had delected a job iogeniously covered up in a llouso bill relating to courts, which put the State oouits aud the property of the Southern people at die mercy of tho holders of Carpet-bag securities, and, with tho aid of Senator Edmunds, had the vile thing killed." The Baltimoie Sun of the tith of March, two days after Iho. adjournment speaks of the defeat of the bill as a "nar now escape," and adds: "A very dangerous, hill, a.nd ana whioh wnujd, baVO alojiwt worked ruin upon several af tho Sum hero States, barely escaped becoming a law in tho last hours uf the session. The effect of the hill, as was ascertained, would he to com pel the payment of all bogus bonds, Slate and municipal, issued during the Radical aud Carpet bag rule in several of the Southern States, which would hank rupt North Carolina, Georgia, and per haps some other States. - ft is bJieved, iat (h p holders of acme tix millions of bogus railroad bonds issued by the North Carolina radical authorities inspired this bill, and the common rumor that General Butter 'worked up' the bill, in his ingen ions style, by which suspicion as to its true intent was not aroused. . The bill had already been enrolled, and was ready for the signatures of the presiding officers, when, through the efforts made by Gen eral Ransom, it was arrested io the last stage before bcoomiog a law.". The Sun is mistaken as to tho actual stage of progress made by this bill; for it happened that Senator Ransom arreted it before it advanced, fur, and thus saved the State aud tho South from wholesale robbery in the name of law. It is still fresh iu the memory of pcQ: pie that some eight or more years after the failure of this scheme for logaliiiog fraud, suit was brought for the recovery of ten millions of the repudiated b.ont'.s of the Wilmington & Charlotte road. This suit was brought in the United States Circuit Court for North Carolina, in the name of one Temple on behalf of the late Vice President Morton and others New l ork. The suit had tho counto nance of the late Judge Bond, who pre sided, at Raleigh, and ruled in favor of the infamous claim. If the Butler bill of 1874 had bcooiuo ( lui?, Rouil would have h.a,d authority for his ruling, and the treasury of North Carolina would have been stripped. Irom year to year, ol its funds. The State bonds of North Carolina arc now the most valuable State bonds on the market, as any one may see by re ferring to the commercial columns of any Northern newspaper,. Th0 North Caro aa ft pc oent bonds are now held and are selling in New York at 1 -li. This is about as high as United States G per cent's ever went. Today North Carolina 4 per cent's arc selling at par. Before the war, when the country was at peace with all the world,. United States G per ceut's, could not be sold for more than one hundred cents on the dollar. I will simply aihl, that this highly hon orabjo ouudition of North Carolina credit is due to the overthrow of carpet bagism, first at Raleigh and then in its last en trenchment at Washington; and I have shown how this latter achievement was brought about. Tbc honor is Ransom's; but the benefits go to tho whole people of North Carolina and the South. It Should he In l-lvcrv llounr. J. B.

During the reconstruction times in the south, two negroes were riding on a rail road train between Richmond and Burko- ille Junction. The negro is very fond of nrgtitucut, and when ho thinks lie hirs strong "pint," he holds on to it with n firm grip, and it is hard to shake him loose. When they Grid that the white folks arc taking notice of them, they arc proud of the attention, audit makes them raise their voices to a pitch which can be understood from every seat in the car.
