3E SftV' htf is& gaily JORDAN STONE, Managing Editor. SAM'L T. WILLIAMS. Politico .Editor. SATURDAY.. -....JANUARY 25 1873 ENLARGING THE HOMESTEAD. We have rict-ivccl. lor publication a communication iioin a prominent mem ber of the Conservative parly, in favor of enlarging the Homestead exemption of mil estate !nm one thousand to fif teen hnn Ired" dwllais. The nrtide will appear to-morrow. ; The Radical paitj in 1871, sou-lit to create prejudice against t'.ioSe who fa vored the call of a Comeiition, by charging that one ol the objects o the Conservative party was to abolish the Homestead clause of the Constitution, No doubt many persons were induced by this. electione"erin; "dodge to vote against the call lor a Convention, As the Conservatives of this State own nine tenths of the Homesteads, it is not icasonable that our party would do anything to abridge or in any manner impair the Homestead exemptions. The benefits accruing from such exemptions ore enjoyed chiefly by Conservatives, and surely their interests would be sate in the hands of their friends. It is natural, however, that; people should be sensitive and apprehensive when their homes arc involved, and the Icar that it a Convention should be held the Home stead clause might be stricken out, lost numbers of votes to the Convention chusc in 1871. Such fear was entirely groundless it is true ; but it is equally true that such fear did nevertheless, exist. Our correspondent contends that the Conservatives of the Legislature should vote for a bill enlarging the Homestead exemption to fifteen hundred dollars worth of real estate. There is no doubt about the power of the Legislature to pass such a bill. HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDl- TION OF TEXAS. Texas has suflered less from the ir ruptions of the swarming hordes o carpet-baggers than any other Southern State. Her people are comparatively iude pendent, pecuniarily. In many sections of the State the chief circulating piedi urn has been gold and silver. The Governor of Texas, in his recent message, says the actual indebtedness of the State is one million and seven hun dred thousand dollars which amount, he says, "can be po;d off by a tax of a single year of less than a half of one per cent, on the taxablt value of prop erty within the State." There is in the Treasury to offset this debt over forty .ne thousand doliais in specie, and over two hundred thousand dollars in currency, making the balance against the State less than a million and a half of dollars 1 Considering the undeveloped re sources of Texas, her great agricultural wealth and her advantages for stock raising, we do not believe there is a State in the Union, certainly rjo South ern State, whose people have a better financial prospect before them. Since the close of the war, important llailread communications have been established ; others are in course of con struction, and when completed, will unite the remote portions of the State with each other in social and business connections. EXIT MABSON. Mabson, colored, one of the Repre sentatives in theHouse from Edgecombe, was yesterday turned out ot bis seat by the Legislature, on account of hi3 in eligibility. The question gave rise to a lengthy debate, but when the vote was taken, the House decided by a good majority in favor of the report of the Committee on Electious, who had reported ad versely to Mabson's claims. The evidence betore the Committee proved that Mabson, who claims to represent Edgecombe, had voted with in twelve months preceding his elec tiou in the county of Washington. The law requires a Representative to be a , resident of the county twelve months preceding his election. Mabson having voted in Washington county, could not disclaim his residence there without committing perjury, and the Legislature very properly decided he could not le gally represent Edgecombe. REPEAL OF THE BANKRUPT LAW, It is thought the United States Senate will concur in the recent act ol the House repealing the bankrupt law. The u jonty in the House in lavor of its re peal was considerable. Many persons w ho have been contem plating taking the benefits ot the law.bat who have been postponing it for a more convenient season, will probably be in duced by the prospect of the passage of the repealing act, to file their petitions before it is too late. On Wednesday morning the composi tors and employees of the Norfolk Jour nal made Major Bakei P. Lee a hand some presen!. The present was occa ioned by the Major's retirement from the editorial stall of the Journal. An old woman by the name of Margret Smith waa killed Tuesday afternoon by a coal train on the trestle work ot the Morris & Essex coal yard at Newark. N. Jn while picking up coal. The Madrid authorities are consider ably muffed at Secretary Fish's recent letter concerning the policy of the Spanish government towards her colonies. From the Sentinel. . To the Editor of the Sentinel : My attention has been directed to a paper dated January 8tb, 1873, publish ed in the Southern Home newspaper, un der the signature of ZeDulcn 13. Vance, in which that gentleman seeks by in sinuation, suggestion, and a sort of ar gumentation to. produce upon the pub ic mind the impression that I had failed to contest the election lor Governor in August last, for the purpose of securing the Republican vote in the Legislature for United States Senator, and that I had colluded and intrigued with the It-publicans in and out of the Legisla ture, lor the same purpose. And I learn that a few ol that gentleman's most zealous fVieuds make similar imputa- 10ns. I am much surprised that Gov. Vance should thus seek to produce an impres sion which I think he does not himself entertain. Such suggestions arc utterly grouudh ss in substance and detail. I am couscous ot uaving clone my wnoie duty in reference to the suggested con test of the election. The matter was repeatedly considered by the Central Executive .Committee of the State, aided by able and learned legal gentlemen, as well a3 by the opin ions and' judgment of many influen tial Conservatives and Demo crats, and ; the Committee about the time ' the Legislature met, resolvtd unanimously that it was inexpedient to contest the ection and advised me to not do so. Besides this, I received more than a hundred letters from leading and well informed Con servatives from every section ol the State, and every one of them with one exception advised me not to contest the election, unless 1 could certainly do so successful lv and upon substantial grounds, and that exception was uov Vance himself. He alone advised me to contest any hoic. if there was "prima facie grounds," "either meritorious or technical. The whole truth is the Republicans knew Gov. Vance , and his record thev knew me and my record, and they chose to vote for me without any pledge of jinv cii-aracier. The? asked no J . s pledge thev received none. This imputation like that which it is intended to support is untrue and ab solutely Groundless. II any human einsr knows to the contrary, I cal upon him to speak out. He also reproduces the imputations made against me in the contest lor Governor last summer by Mr. John Pool, which Mr. Pool himself said he did not believe, which Governor Vance himself repeatedly denounced as false, infamous and unfounded. Gov. Vance knows them to be false as far as he can know such charges y be false. He told the people they were false; but now when he is disappointed and angry,he seeks to make the people believe them an l thus scandalize me ! What must disinterested people think of a gentlemen who thus lor good uki lor evil seeKS to misieau them ana injure his neighbor 2 But be his motive or belief in that respect what it may,-1 respectfully and cordially invile him to join Mr, Pool in defending 'himself - in the indictment against him m Uuncombe oupenor Court lor circulating a libelous publica tion containig these very charges, and to prove any one ol them it he can. The Republicans of the State have declared in the most emphatic manner that there is no truth in them. Ihe truth is, they were mere' inventions to serve a purpose lor Mr. Pool last sum mer, and Gov. Vance Knowing tnem to be such inventions, m turn, seeks to make them answer his purpose now 1 Let him take such benefit and gratifica tion as h e can by such a course of con duct I ' Knowing that Mr. Pool and Governor Holden are exceedingly odious among the Conservatives ol the State, he seeks to produce the impression that I was their special choice for Senator, &c. I have the mlormation trom gentlemen ol unquestionable veracity, that both tuese gentlemen were unalterably opposed to my election, aud the latter lavored Uov Vance's election under the circum stances, and he knows the fact. The account Gov. Vance gives of in terviews between him and mysell is not correctly given, even in substance he gives his deductions from what was said, rather than what was said. I did not complain that he had lailed to ioin me in a combination against Gen. Ran som. I complained that in the Senato rial election in January, 1872, in order to subserve his private interests ant gratify his ambition, he failed to do justice to his party and his friends. J said that the West, his party and J would not forgive his selfishness ant dereliction of duty in that respect. Nor did I say to him at a :iy time that I would not have a Radical vote or use a coaisa expression, as he suggests ; but I told him nt all our interviews that did not believe the Radicals would vote for either ol us. On one occasion he came to ruv office and said he had come to see what was to be done with the Radical vote. I ' repeated what I had often said, that I did not believe thev would vote for either of us, but said" I, you have asked me a question aout a possible contingency nnu.iwi answer you lranklv. I suid that if the Radicals should nominate me and ask me to accept such nomination, I would no more think ol accepting it, than of thrusting my hand iuto the coal tire then burning before us, for in that case I would sacrifice conscience, principal and honor, and would deserve the execration ot my political lriends, and would not be entitled to the confidences and respect of the Radicals it would be manifest, I had sold my conscience and principles for a place ; but, said I further, they know me and my record they know you and your record, and under the circumstances of your nomination, which Iinsist is worse than none, if they choose between you and me, to vote with the gentlemen ol our party who support me and elect me, I shall accept the election, without aba ting one jot of principle or zel in the interests ol my party- that I had made no overtures directly or indirectly to the Radicals for their yoU s, nor did I intend to do eo. This i3 the substance of what was said in that interview and much of the lan guage used. I reduced to writing what was said very soon after Gov. Vance left my office. Without myself having spoken to any one else on this subject, in les3 than three hours, I learned that the Republi cans had the information that I had said, I would not have a d d Radicalvote -and the Conservatives that I had "told out" to the Radicals! Gov. Vance seems to phieti much Btrcss on the ground that he was the choice of the- Conservative party for Senator. This I deny and do not believe, J do not propose here to discuss the merits and demerits of his' nomination insist and think I can show on a proper occasion to the entire satisfaction of the. people that he had no legitimate nomi nation according to party usage and right and justice, but I ask attention to his supposed and boasted strength. He admitted in the presence , ol a Committee of our friends, that he had done his utmost "had electioneered as hard as he could," since belore the Au gust election down, to the .time of. the assembling ol the caucus, to secure his nomination.' His lriends or many of GO m o 3 them, gave it out very generally that he had a large majority of the caucus pledged he told me that lie had a ma lority of the caucus was secured to his support, aud in a Iriendly and disinter ested spirit advised me not to allow my name to go belore the caucus, and said he did not want to beat me, &c &c. In this way he drove every gentleman who thought of being a candidate be fore the caucus out of it no one wanted to go there just to be beaten no gen tleman was belore it as a candidate save himself, though others were voted for including mvselt. When the caucus assembled, he had the field to himself O o he was the only candidate neverthe less, he gotlorty-nine votes just a half a vote more than enough to nominate him. After all his efforts and the efforts ot hi3 friends, to say nothing of the ar guments and means employed against me and the character ol them, which 1 will not now advert to. this was his positive strength. He says the caucus made his nomination unanimous. That was of course as he knows, under caucus rule ! But I know from gentlemen of unquestionable veracity, that there was a large minority in the caucus who did not want to vote lor him at all, besides 20 gentlemen who did go into the cau cus. If issues and imputations , unjust to the lust degree to me, and in my iudg ment as unwise and impolitic as unjust, in view of the public good, had not been thrust before the minds of many ot the members ot the Legislature, both before and after thev assembled, Gov. Vance never could have received that half a vote majority, or indeed, any majority. So I confidently believe. Thus it will be seen that his strength was manufactured, and not the free vol- untary oflFrin" he would have the coun- try believe he enjoyed. I conscientiously believe that Gov. Vance, after all he -did, was not the choice ol a majority of the Conservative politicians of the State, and I have the conviction that he was not the choice of a large majority ol the Conservative and Democratic people ol the State. Many ol the warmest con gratuiations J. received alter my election were from gentlemen who voted for Governor Vance solely in obe dience to the mandate of the caucus. I have scores of letters from all classes ol the Conservatives and Democrats ol the State, expressing cordial congratulations and rejoiciugs at my election, and many of these letters are lrom distinguished, leading and influential gentlemen of the highest character. And these checrinsi evidences of public satisfaction have gratified and sustained me, while disap pointed persons have heaped upon me unmeasured, and 1 think, unmerited abuse. And while most of the newspa pers oi me Diate nave ueprecateu in respectlul terms, party disorganization, they have expressed confidence in me and satisfaction, and I have the strong est assurance that I shall be sustained by them, with two or three exceptions, I do believe that a large element of the people of my own party are rejoiced at my elevation to the Senate, and that an overwhelming majority of them are sat isfied. It I did not believe the people were satisfied I would not hold the place of Senator for one hour. I might assign many cogent reasons why.Gov. Vance ought not to have been elected, but I do not choose to discuss this matter here or to anno v and dis tress him. At another time, however, I may, if necessary, give the people a true and faithful account of the real cause that gave rise to the division and discord among the Conservatives in the Legis lature in reference to the late Senatorial election in that body, about which so much has been said in the heat of excited passion, and which it were well ii it uau not ueen saiu. i am not sensible of having done wrong. The causer which prompted and governed my action was, in my juagmem, poieni ana involved my self respect, the best interest of, the people of the State, and in some measure the same oi tne wnoie country. l have no disposition to assail Gov. Vance or his lriends. This is not the time or place to discuss the merits of the controversy growing out of the Senatoiial election, and I will not do bo.
