THE VYILMINyrTON POST.: W. P4 L'ANADAY, Proprietor. WILMINGTON. N. C 'biday Mokhiki Oct 12,1883 MR. GRESUAM AND THE j LOUISIANA LOTTERY. , In the gruflness and curtness atlri- buted by the Democrats to the Post master General in his dealings with Republican officials the bourbons found a subject of no little merriment and the bluff honesty of the departmental chief elicited from them the most la-fish) and unqualified commendation. Though this was very natural, it was stilt more common tor the greatest of all heroes in their eyes is a partisan adversary dealing blows to right and left in the ranks of his friends. But jt seems that this thing was about to go too far and to be consistent, if for nothing else, in its iudiscriminate abuse of the good, bad and indifferent of the opposition, a halt must be called and Mr. Oreeham dismounted from the lofty steed on which to his great surprise his po litical enemies had perched him. Noth ing altogether good can come out of Nazareth or, at least nothing allowed to be good, and hence when nothing else; can be found even virtues must be tortured into faults. 1 Everythinfeems to be regarded by some as fair in war. " The English did not Bcruple to employ the tomahawk of the savage in the Revolutionary war as an instrument "which God and nature had placed in their hands." The N6rth Carolina abourbons though fathering prohibr lion in North Carolina . (by the .way, a V fellow feeling"N on this subject may .'have united Jarvis and Herrimon) and Beeking to outlaw the dealers in liquor, shouted wUh a lusty good will over the last victory in Ohio, achieved by. the Democrats by an alli ance with these dealers in "distilled damnation," as tlfey termed it Iierie. And so now Mr. Graham, who is grow- ing too dangerously popular, must be disarmed of his influence in some way, though it be Iby a confederacy, with 1 gamblers and law-bztakers. The editor i'. of the Star, who gallantly mingles in, if he does not lead this onset, is pru- ' dent enough to disclaim any part or lot, so far as sympathy is. concerned, in the dealings of the Louisiana Lottery bo promptly checked in its operations by Mr. Gresham, but lendeavors to ob- I, scure the rear controversy by shiilipg ! it from M. Dauphin "& Co. to a New Orleans National batik. If, as the Star supposes, Mr. Gresham should en counter the opposition of the people as . a set-off to the favor of the court in .the prosecution of his "arbitrary ' measures, so much the worse for the j jplupie i that they should array them '. selves on the side of the gamblers and against the law as declared by itsau "-c T thoritative expoueuta. But we believe ! i "' : ftbfetJfaVref geueraTwiTI be sustaiaed by a law-loving and a law-abiding people in his efforts to so order thepmanage menf of his department that mail service of the 'government should' not be prostituted to the conyenience of gamblers. . , "INUr.STllIAL SCHOOLS FOU r T1IK LITTLE NIGS.'

But before we establish the rule that the state will apportion educational facilities be tween the races according to their re spective taztpaying liabilities, let us run it out to its consequences. It the principle be so much education for ho much tax, then is that equality before the law, which ia the boast of our com monwealth, given to the winds, and the poor vshiU man's boy is" to grow up in comparative ignorance, while the. son Of his wealthier neighbor enjoys every advantage which the state can layish uppn him. This is not Democratic in theory, though that we may live to see it so in practice, is not improbable to one who recalls the recent proposition of a noted bourbon champion to pen sion the officert of the late war and eave the obscure but needy privates to lake care of themselves. As to the "industrial whool" which "Old Fogy" would establish for the "little nigs," no doubt he would make a master in love with his work, but a generom people. are, already feeding one Mr. Squeers who gratifies at . their expense the: caprices of a "little tyrant" of the ferale-scepter and the cormorant ca pacities of a horse-leech daughter stomach. Though "Old Fogy" is kind enough to give the "little nigs" the monopoly of this industrial education, yet we can but fear the gift-bearing Greeks, and look for some cunnintr. bourbon cheval de boit to let out a host of other old fogies upon the juvenile colored pupils. The industrial schools established by the old fogies of the past., were not so serviceable to the ja" ka to, make them desire he same - sort. Quite likely uvuo more they might "cry for them" as the babies for Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup but altogether on : the other side of their mouths. Seriously, though, we have seldom known a more nefa rious scheme than this transparent one to reduce to slavery the colored chil dren of the state. Such is the stone for bread, the serpent for a fish, that the "Old Fogy," or bourbon Democrat, whose means of establishing any schools result from the colored man's unreat ine toil, offer1 to those whose best friends they profess to be, and in whose intellectual elevation they claim to en tertain an abiding interest. We coneratulate the people of the west on the continuance of the Ameri can, though they are not entitled to such good fortune. A people who will not subscribe and pay for a local paper, antTespecially one as able and reliable as the American, are not entitled to any thing. The announcement that Mr. Drake would suspend, and the showing he. made that, only $7.50 was paid in advance was a disgrace to the people of western Carolina. We believe in BDoakinir plainly, let it offend who it inia . We have ny soft words Jur ueoy sjiiiey mate more sacrifices and 5t do more to build up a community than all else put together. Ir fact, a good paper tells the character of its patrons. If they, support .their paper, it speaks volumes in their behalf; if they fail to do so, it shows that they are a lazy and ignorant people, We hope the Nt,w American in future will prosper as it deserves.

The railroads will ran excursion trains each day and will bring the people alFtwo cents a mile each way and bring their exhibits to the fair and carry them back home, all free. 'So, with the prospects 6f a grand exhibition, the liberal rates furnished by the railroads and the people all anxious to come, the state fair this year must be a grand success.

I' , .bight years after (in lojy), Having vainly endeavored to carry on the gov ernment under the reckless financial policy, which exhibited a deficit o, nearly f 1,000,000 a year, lhe bourbon funders were forced to a new adjust ment, devised by Hugh McCullocb, and known as the brokers's bill. It is enougn to say here that you at once voted down that bill and its faction by a majority of over 20,000 votes, and called to power the party of .readjust? ment, whose plan of relief had won your approval, as not only necessary, bat as just and equitable. Yet it was not until 1SS2 (with a readjuster gove- nor) that this plan was put into form and force as the Uiddleberger bill, to take effect July 1, 1S82, And it is the contrast between funderism and read justment at that date to which now we wish-particularly to call your attention We re:er to the omciai reports as our authority for the statements we make. TJpon a stated official account( which prefaces the ltidulebe ger null between the commonwealth and her ereditors an account which remains wholly un contested and unchallenged your just indebtedness, after deducting one-third as the fair amount for which West Vir ginia is liable, was found to be, on the first of July, 1SS2, principal and in terest, including the literary fund, $21,025,477 15; and this is the sum which our settlement ( the Uiddleber ger bill) and obligates you to pay. Toj the same date, under the old funding bill aud brokers' bill (as far as the lat ter had takeu effect) the principal and accrued interest, including the literary fund (which the re adjusters regards the most sacred portion of the dent) amounted to $35,874,809 97. But if, under the scheme of tha; brokers bill, the whole funder debt had been funded to July 1, 18S2, that debt would still have bean $S3,50S,497 85 ohe-half the accrued interest which thev recognized as due being flatly repudiated! And now we behold the difference as to the debt between fuuderism aud readjust ment at the date when-the Uiddleberger bill took eflect: the funder debt" ex ccding the readjuster debt (b fixed by official and incontestable figures) by $12,473,120.70 That is the saving ia principal iby readjustment, without re pudiation of a dollar of just obligation. And if since July 1, 1882, there has been an accumulation of interest, that interest itself is greater or less, in the 8me proportion (as indicated above, according to the account, funder or, re adjuster, upon which it is to be estima ted aud settled. ; j Jsot only have we thus saved $12, 473,120.70 in principal to July 1, 1882 as between the brokers' bill and the Uiddleberger bill, but we have scotched if we have not killed, the tax coupons, anu we nave nxeu inu interest at a uui form rate, of 3 per cent, a year.
