Ia reieird to Mh CMcRae'8 letter to the

rough discussion of the- proposition as ft
stands, it is so far oat of the way that we
would be misleading the people by printing
it. Raleigh Observer.
We never supposed oar friend of
the Observer was distinguished as a
humorist,. bpt JkseemJfhat he tfaa
gifts we" toewnotof. After paolisli
ing certain documents and papers
favoring the selloutNorth Caro
lina and its interests, it cannot agree
to publish Colouel McRae's article
because it"would mislead the people,"
or words to that effect. --That is a
good joke. It is very humorous.
The people are to be caught by a
snap judgment. Not one in twenty of

lators will grope in the dark not know
ing what their constituents would
think or say if they were'properly in
formed as to the dangers threatening
their mterests,and the one-sided cha-r
racter of the Best bill. The people
need all the information ftiey can get.
They will get but one side from cer
tain papers that appear desperately
zealous for Best and Company. Ex
Senator Dortch and Col. McRae are
the only gentlemen who have under
taken an elabora te argument in ojppo-1

that it was necessary to make a

bar will not even have so much
as
heard of the proposed Best sale. .We
doubt if the liest syndicate will nave
reaohed" their ears
oefore it shall
have . passed, or the attempt has
been made most seriously to pass it.
I It requires nearly five months to
arouse tho people to a full sense of
their duty to vote sin act they have
been performing from year to year
from their majority; but three weeks
are ample for the purpose of inform
ing the same people in regard to a
question of dollars and cents in-
prolving millions and the prosperity
of a large section of a State.
Without a snap judgment the per
sons who are backing up the Best
project with pen and influence could
not hope to attain their ends. If the
people bad from now .until the meet-
of the Legislature in January,
1881, to consider the matter and in
form themselves of the exact nature
of the proposed sell-out, they would
not listen for a moment to the pro
Ksal in its present shape. As we
said in the Stab of Sunday, we have
no idea that the Best bill can pass as
it is. Without amendments it would
be a great outrage to pass it. If the
Democrats as a body vote for that
bill without a change they may look
Out for a regular cyclone in Novem
ber. There are thousands of voters
who will not sustain them in such a
course. We feel confident that there
are many Democrats in both Houses
who will not favor the bill as it now
stands.
We hope that the best lawyers in
the State will give the Best bill a
very critical examination and let the
Legislature have the benefit of their
views. We would like to hear what
such lawyers as LaBier, .MerrimoD,
Ed. Graham Haywood, Rodman (said
to! be the best conveyancer in the
State), and others who could be
named, have to say about the bill.
We believe it would have been
difficult to have drawn the' bill
with more direct reference to
the interest of the Syndicate if
the best New York lawyer had been
brought to North Carolina for the
Kmrpoae. We would like to know
where the bill was 'drawn, and whose
worfcrnansmp it is. it is a great cu
riosity, and whether it passes or not,
it should be printed in large type, on
a proad sheet, should be framed and
hqng up in both Houses of the Gene
ral Assembly, and in every depart
ment in the capitol, and henceforth
should become a model of its kind.
Aj hundred years hence it vroaid at
tract more attention than the Magna
of England. It should be
headed "The Great Sell-out, or How
Nprth Carolinians were Fleeced in

1 The Oxford Iftte lames Is decidedly in
favor of abolishing the office of Coroner. As
to some of the expense entailed ; on the
county treasuries the Free Lanes says:
'Some months since a dead child was found
in a well at Henderson: A coroner's in
guest was . called, ; medical examinations;
he)dt and a jury sworn. Nothing was found
out, and a bill of $90 was presented to the
copnty for payment Charlotte Demderat.
There may bo cases in which the
office is useless and the expeqse. un
necessary, as. in the case . mentioned
by the Free Lane. But are there
not many other cases occurring eve

Coroner are indispensable ? It is an
old office, long existing in England
and cannot well be dispensed with
Mr. Gladstone has made a speech
recently in London. Like all the ef
forts of that very great man it at
tracts the attention of his country
men. He referred at length to Irish
affairs. As the great leader of the
party that will sooner or later be in the
, ..... . .
ascendant again, nis opinion is im
portant. We find the following brief
extract in an exchange:
He disclaimed any friendship fox Home
Rule, and said tbe unity of the empirejiod
the authority of Parliament must be main
tained independently of every other con
sideration, but deprecated all angry judg
ments of his Irish fellow-citixees, and said
he could not forget the abominable conduct
of this country towards Ireland for many
generations."
There was some fan in the House
over a spat between two Northern
Representatives. It is thus mention
ed -in the-Richmond Dispatch's spe
cial :
General Warner pronounced Mr. Ha
zleton's statement false ; whereupon tbe
latter said he would hold the Ohio member
personally responsible, but not with coffee
and pistols. General Warren then said
that the Wisconsin member had no right to
be so much concerned about any class of
pensioners, including those be bad called
hospital pimps, because be neyer saw a bat
tle field, but remained all during tbe war
near the Canada line. By way of retort
Mr. Hazleton declared that General War
ner is drawing a pension for a wound re
ceived in theback. Here tbe uproar was
so great that -General Warner's excited re
ply could not be beard."
