Jarvis turned pale and could not speak
he was so frightened thia was more
than be bad bargained for. . lie only
meant to be loud and make his bourbon
audience be'ieve be (Jarvis) was a great
man, but Jim 1 arris got hold of his
declaration, challenging any Republican
or liberal in the state, and look him at
his word and offered to meet him, but the
poor fool would not reply; ; His friends
went to his rescue aod tbe cry that
Harris was only a negro," We suppose;'
from their oUrincs that no negro was
the equal to the great bourbon orator.,
that being 'tbe case, this was" the time
bejbnd ail others to have shown it. , :
0 If Jarviat refuses io meet Harris be
cause be, was a cegru, thcu wo have an
other offt-r to meet bim. Iko Yo'ting will
meet bim on every ptump that he (Jar

That,' was sufficient; now be is, accord

; BEAD EVKIt r WORD. .
An Important Matter for Tax"Pa-
x .. crs.r. ' - - -
From.' Raleigh News-Observers Report cl
- Jodse Merrlmon's Speech. ' "
Republished in the Wjlmington Siar,
and we reiterate that it is very import
ant to tax-payers.
He referred to the great debt, amount
ing now to overt20,000,000, which the
Republican Legislature bad in 1868-'69
created by issuing . bonds. This debt
was so fraudulent that these very Radical-
legislators ; were forced by public
opinion to repudiate it themselves be
fore they went out cf power. Now the
bondholders, have secured legislation at
the north enabling them to orlng suits
in the name of their states against oth
er states purporting to issue bonds, like
those of fraudulent "special tax bonds,
and such a suit has been argued in the
Supreme Court - of the' United States.
It is, .proposed, " if the Federal Court
will take jurisdiction, to bring ' suit
sgainst our people. . The object of this
suit will i be to recover from ' us more
than $20,000,000. , Now, what are the
people going to lo about it? Standing
iu the shadow of their danger, are they
going '.to puj back into power the very
men who issued thee fraudulent bonds?
It is a serious question. It addresses
itself to every taxpayer and to 'every
citizer. y: i :-: :"' rVx'
. We ask our readers to read the above
from the fact. that. this, man Merrimon
was . the legal adviser and" personal
friend and counrel of tbe set of men
who log rolled with the " Republicans
and Democrats to get the bonds re
ferred to by bim, through th General
Assembly. Thos. Jv Jarvis- voted for
the said bill; all the leading Democrats
io the Legislature .voted for it, and te
bonds were issued to Democratic Pre
denls. Now if Mr. Merrimon can make
aoy capital out bf this be is welcome
to all of it.

: , Quite an affecting' scene 1 happened
Wednesday afterternoon on our streets.
An unfortunate drunkard, a woman
(God save the mark)Nwas carried to the
lock-up through ourt most public high
ways in a state of beastly intoxcaition
with a policeman under each arm, and
her little innocent t ffdpring, a irl
about 5 years old, following along in
anguish and in tears. Oh !
' He who extends one day of life to a
human soul, may add an elerniry of joy
to an undying I . spirit. In this train of
thought we are. thinking of the chival
ous action of Captain John Harper,
of the steamer Pae8f ort, in so gallantly
rescuing the drowning childreu on the
excursion of Wednesday last. A thou
sand words' could express no more than
tbii. Captain I Harper you are a hero.
Mr. J W. Taylor has inaugurated a
novelty in the saw mill business. He
has purchased the old "DdTenpwt," a
floating machine, and proposes, with
adaptable macbinery to opeiate her
along, the river, sawing up valuable
woods, and opening up a new kind of
trade. We are delighted to faoteibis,
and while hoisting Mr. Taj It r as the
pioneer, we bopa htt is only a f rerun
ner of a large business iu that direction.
