t Morning Star. Br WiLU VM II. BEBNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C: TuESi.Av Morning, March 20, 1877. HEPVOUTION NORTH CABO- L1M. The committee appointed by a meeting iu New York ou the 27th of December, by the bondholders of the State of North Caro lina, to visij;, that Slate and endeavor to bring about a settlement of the bonds, now nine years in default, reported Thursday. They found the officers of the government aud the people, even the merchants, apa thetic as to the payment of the debt. The people are too poor, they said, and cannot live under an increase of taxation. Gov. Vjuui lrTnclined to be non-committal, but, on 'the whole, he is willing to aid in any reasonable plan for a settlement. The poor whites and "a majority of the negroes are repudiators; and the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the last can vass opeuly declared for repudiation, but was muzzled by bis friends alter one or two pablic .preehes. The newspapers gener ally are neutral ou the subject, but where au opinion Is expressed it is almost always for repudiation. One newspaper openly avers that the State is legally and morally absolved from indebtedness to men who bore arms against her or aided in the war that ruined lier. The committee hope that the Legislature may appoint a commission to confer with bondholders, and recom mend an honest payment of the State debt. New York Sun. We copy this for what is is worth. We clipped it from the Baltimore Sun. That paper and the New York Sun in which it first appeared, will send it to at least five millions of readers. Other papers of large cir culation will take it up, and in a few days the character of North Caro lina is so damaged that the credit of its -business men will be impaired, and its industrial interests must be re tarded. The Star at least has not been neutral; nor has it been in favor of repudiation. It has insisted from the first that honor and justice re quired that as much of the legal in debtedness of the State should be paid as the impoverished condition of the people would permit. When we read such a paragraph as the above, which so reflects upon the people of North Carolina, we can but feel glad that we at least have not given, in any word or act the least ground for the charges and in sinuations made. We do not believe that " the poor whites" aie in favor of repudiation of the honest debts of the State. Nearly all of our whites come under that description, for they arc indeed "poor," but it is a slander to chargejthjm as being repudiation ists. We grant there may be a con siderable minority who may favor such a disastrous policy, but, if sub mitted to a vote of the people, we believe there would be found an over whelming majority who were for maintaining the ancient name of North Carolina for honesty and fair dealing, and for meeting all just ob ligations as far as possible under the extraordinary circumstances. SOI 1 H I . It N MANUFACTURING EM TKRPRISK. A new cotton manufacturing company has oeen orgamzed at Augusta, Ua., with a capital 5T $150,000. The mill begins witb 10,000 spindles, which will be increased to 50,000 as the times require. The stock v.as promptly subscribed, machinery se cured and, measures taken to have the mill completed witbin four months. Most of the capital was subscribed by Massachu setts manufacturers, one of whom is Presi dent of the new compaay. Exchange. Here is another argument for the erection of cotton factories. Massa chusetts manufacturers, who kaow where to -place their money, and who have learned from experience that cot ton spinning pays in the North, are willing to invest their capital in a new Southern enterprise. And why should they hesitate. If they can make it pro fitable to manufacture cotton raised in the South in Massachusetts, from eight hundred to fifteen hundred miles from the place of production, whycan not they make it more profit able to manufacture the great staple where it is raised ? We trust to have the privilege of copying the announce ment of scores of such enterprises, and trust to learn that similar invest ments are being made in North Caro lina. MR. EVABTS, The Secretary of State is a busy man. He is credited with having re ceived $50,000 for contesting the Vanderbilt will. He was in New York last week attending to that nice little remunerative job. Mr. Evarts holds the front rank at the Ameri can bar, and his practice annually must be worth at least $100,000. He will hardly be willing to abandon that income for four years, unless he thinks he can wear Hayes' mantle af ter 1880. It would not surprise us to hear, after a few months, that Mr. Evarts had retired from his Cabinet position. We are prepared to hear better things of him than from most of the' Republican associates, and if he proves a success as the Premier of the new Administration, we would prefer seeing him retained rather than exchanged for an officer of less ability and patriotism. THB NEW OHIO SENATOR. ' Judge Stanley Matthews has just ; been elected U. S. Senator .fronrOhio ' in place of Secretary John Sherman, j He is a very able man a very supe rior lawyer. He is credited with a policy a Southern policy. He is for recognizing the governments in the South which really govern. That is honest and equitable and fair, and it is the true course for the President to pursue if he only kuew it. Matthews stood up for a square fight before the Ohio Legislature. His opponents, and there were several, endeavored to beat him by using against him his let ters to Packard and Chamberlain. But the Judge did not dodge or trim. He squarely met the charges, and in no way endeavored to break the force of the meaning of those letters. In deed, he gave a full and frank state ment of his views to the press, so that every one could understand them fol ly, and no one could misapprehend his real position. The following ex tract will give a fair impression of the boldness of his attitude. Refer ring to Louisiana he said: "The National Government may recog nize the one which may be called the mob party, if said mob party are actually strong enough to maintain itself and establish a State government The fact that Packard's government was the legitimate government under the forms of law makes no difference if the Administration chooses to recognize the Nicholls government, wbicb originated in mob force, and is still being sustained by mob force, the main thinu requisite be ing strength sufficient to maintain a govern ment" The new Senator will (doubtless fight it out on this line," and his chief antagonist will be the bull-fighter from Maine. Jim Blaiue, the Mata dore of the Senate ring, has thrown down his gauntlet in these words, which occur in one of his latest ring performances: I am bere to do battle witb any bue; fn my humble way, who espouses that policy. I lay that gage down for any Senator who stands sponsor to the suggestion of Mr. Stanley Matthews and Mr. Evarts on this question." Mr. Blaine will have to withdraw that challenge or there will be a tilt worth seeing one of these days7in which we hope Matadore will be rolled in the saw-dust. Gov. Hampton nnderstands the situation, aud when he tells the President that he does not ask for recognition, he shows he compre hends the genius of our government, and the constitutional rights, privi leges and powers of the Chief Execu tive of the United States. The fol lowing juat view is from that able Republican paper, the New York Nation: "When people ask him (Mr. Hayes) not to be so base as 'to abandon the South ern Republicans,' let him inquire in a so ber, American way what that means. He is not a Czar or a Kaiser. He cannot send troops bithei or thither to 'succor struggling nationalities' or set downtrodden parties on their legs. He can succor nobody except through law. He is not a special Provi dence; he is the President of the United States, or in other words, the creature of law. What, therefore, can he do for a Southern Republican under the United States statutes as interpreted by the courts? This is the question which should be put be to all Souihero delegations and all North ern orators who maintain that the United States (government owes some undefined protection to one of the two political par ties at the South, and possesses some vague right of prescribing the exact amount and kind of power which a southern Governor shall use in overcoming resistance to his authority." The Pope has recently nominated twelve new cardinals. There are now sixty-eight, seventy being the full number. The college is com posed of cardinal bishops, cardinal priests, and cardinal deacons. The office of cardinal is thus applied to the order of bishops and priests, and the order of deacons. Bishops and priests are of the same order, we be lieve, in the Roman Catholic Church. The present Pope has created during his long pontificate 111 cardinals. Of these 50 have already died. Sixty one of his appointees still survive. Seven of the present college were ap pointed by his immediate predecessor, Gregory the sixteenth. There are now four English-speaking cardinals, viz: Manning, Cullen, McCloskey and Howard, the latter an English man, nominated a few days ago. The President is making haste very slowly in regard to the removal of the troops from Sooth Carolina and Louisiana. At a time when he should be swift to do right swift as the deer, he creeps with the slow pace of the snail. Why should he hesitate as to South Carolina, when the entire Judiciary of the State, in all the courts of the State, throughout all the circuits, are co-operating with the people in maintaining and enforc ing the fixed fact of the Hampton Government ? The executive organ ization is now complete throughout the entire State, and is in good work ing condition. What is Chamber lain doing ? Who recognizes him ? Why then hesitate about a matter that is so plain? Harper's Weekly devotes three columns to Senator Conkling, of New York. That fact oould not possibly injure him in the estimation of South ern men, who regard the dispraise of that bitter and unfair paper to be de sired rather than its favor. Washington News. Special to Richmond Whig LAST HOW'OF THE SENATE. .Washington, March 17. The Senate spent much of the last hours of its special session in the dis cussion and passage of Mitchell's re solution providiug for a sub-coramit-teo of elections to go to Oregon and investigate Governor Grover's con duct. This political job will cost at least $10,000. Most of the Democrats were compelled to vote for the reso lution, or to refrain from voting at all, lest it should be oharged that they wished to prevent the exposure of Grover's alleged bad conduct. While the Senate was in executive session a crowd of office-seekers and many negroes, waiting to learn the fate of Fred Douglass, thronged the corridors iu the Senate wing. There was along discussion about Douglass' confirmatiotvthe principal speakers being Whyte against and Conkling for him. Finally he was confirmed by a small majority of votes. Mor gany of Alabama, Jones, of Florida, and Ben. Hill voted for his confirma tion. Some of the Republicans dodged the vote. DEFEATED NOMINATIONS. The nomination of Marye for post master at Lynchburg was not sent to the Senate, and that of Potts for the Petersburg post-office was defeated by Blaine, who objected to its con sideration to-day, and under the rules it went over until to-merrow. The Senate having adjourned sine die, the President may appoint Potts and Marye to hold office until the next session of Congress, A COLORED POSTMASTER FOR COLUM BIA, S. C. Among the confirmations to-day was that of C. M. Wilder (colored), postmaster at Columbia, S. C. His Competitor was a white Republican, aud it was supposed General Key, being a Democrat, would appoint him without hesitation. But Gen eral Key plainly informed him that he did not propose to make distinc tions on account of color, and that he would reappoint Wilder because he appeared to be a competent man and good officer. Fortunately for George S. Bout well, Congress authorized the ap pointment of a commission to super vise the revision of the statutes of the United States; and just as Bout well was about to retire to private life and resume his agricultural pursuits upon the farm from which he sold one year thirty-six dollars' worth of chest nuts (it was a good year for nuts), the President stepped forward and reclaimed his talents for the nation. This good, fat place slipped through Congress in an appropriation bill, and was lost sight of by everybody until the appointment and confirmation ot the late Senator was announced. The nomination of W. M. Stone for United States Attorney for South Carolina was not confirmed. He is a brother-in-law of Corbin, who claims a seat in the Senate by election by the Chamberlain Legislature. THE VACANCY ON THE SUPREME BENCH. Large numbers of letters from dis tinguished members of the Virginia bar have been received here commend ing Judge Hughes for appointment to the Supreme Bench in place of Judge Davis. The President says the vacancy will not be filled for two or three weeks. A Fatal Affair in He it demo ti -Two Men Killed. Asheville Citizen. We learn of a fatal affray occurring in Henderson county on Friday last, resulting in the death of two brothers named Corn. It appears that Deputy Sheriff Byers, armed with an order to dispossess from the Court, and ac companied by a posse of three men, visited the residence of a son of Jesse B. Corn, living about five miles from Hendersonville. They entered the house, a log building, the Corns be ing absent from it at the moment. But in a few minutes old man Corn, having been apprised of the situation, accompanied by his sons, came up to the house, and the old man fired one shot with a shot gun into the house, without, however, doing any damage. The officers inside then closed the doors and fired through the cracks at the party outside, two of the shots fired by young John Arledge (as it appears), one of the Sheriff's posse, taking effect on the persons of two of the young Corus and of them. killing both A bill has been filed in the Circuit Court for the District of Florida by the Western Division of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company for the recovery of the Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad. The bill states with particularity how $1,000,000 of the funds of the Wes tern North Carolina Railroad Com pay were taken by Swepson, its trus tee and President, and through Hous ton and Milton S. Littlefield, the no torious railroad ring, invested in the purchase of the Pensacola and Georgia and Tallahassee Railroad, and of which amount $960,300 were used by the ring in the purchase of the Pensacola and Georgia and Tal lahassee Railroad, of which the Pensacola, Mobile and Girard Rail road forms a part. The bill is minute as to every particnlar in this grand fraud, and proposes to pay off and discharge the whole of the outstand ing Pensacola and Georgia and Talla hassee Railroad bonds, and thereby relieve the Intetmtl Improvement Fund of the State of the burden and liability for interest, amounting to some $50,000 a year charge upon the public lands, while at the same time it affords the holders of the Pensa cola and Georgia and Tallahassee bonds a speedy means of getting the principal and interest of their bonds immediately paid in full, and of which they will doubtless be too glad to avail themselves. FIGHTING FOR LIFE. A Woman's Quarrel and life Terrible Consequences. New York, March 16. About 10 o'clock last sight Mary Ann Rust, aged 23, of No. 6 Roose velt street, and Nellie Brown, of the same house, went on board the schoon er George White, lying at the foot of Pier 40, East river. A jealous quar rel ensued between the girls. Blows were struck, and finally Nellie Brown, who was the stronger, seized the other around the waist and, dragging her to the side of the vessel furthest from the dock, threw her overboard. A 6ailor named Eagan went to the wo man's assistance, but the woman Brown held him back. Finally he freed himself from her grasp and leaped into the water. When Ann Rush came to the surface the sailor swam toward ber, and grasping her by the hair with one hand he caught hold of the vessel with the other. As he was lifting his burdeu from the river Nellie Brown tore away Eagans hands from the side. Both persons fell back into the river and sank be low the surface; but Eagan, by great effort, succeeded in reaching the ves sel with Ann Rush, and finally de posited her upon the deck. He finally succeeded in restoring the woman to consciousness, aud carried her below, where she lay down in one of tho berths. She refused to remove her clothing, aud this morning she was in a raging fever. Eagan then went to tho Madison Street police station and informed Captain McElwain of the case, and the woman was removed to Bellevue hospital, where the physician declared her to be in a very danger ous condition. Under these circum stances Eagan was detained and locked up in the police station, and an of ficer was sent out in search of the other woman, who was found at her home. She was also locked up. Outrageous Conduct. Hickory Press. We learn that Mr. Lewis King, liv ing in Alexander county, near Ox ford's Ford, received a severe wound recently at the hands of the Revenue officers. Mr. King was at the block ade still house of one of his neigh bors, and when he saw the revenue and Yankee soldiers coming, be start ed to leave, but being fired upon, a ball took effect in his neck and in flicted a wouud from which he died. This quiet and peaceable citizen, who fell a victim to the malicious acts of these desperadoes, had no connection whatever with tho proprietor of the illicit still, but only happened to be there or passing there at the time. At the same place in order to carry out their inhuman acts, these marau ders went to the hog-pen and shot nine bullets into a fine fattening hog. The citizens of both political parties in that section have become very in dignant at such outrageous acts. TbeReveouers have been on au other raid through the South moun tains of Burke aud destroyed several thousand dollars' worth of property.
