All dearer for the secrecy ; The State Debt. j The debt of the State of North j Carolina amounts, in round nura- f bers, to Thirty Seven Millions of j Dollars. The fact of the existence of this large indebtedness alarms capitalists and makes them reluc tant to Invest their money Jiere. T9 At t ill " " t mmW i a a m k mm w vv ov tu uvii iv 'km v. va a i a, 1 r 1 a tA, i , un ii Carolina is able to pay thirty-three pef cent. leS3 than be fore the war, we must also bear in mind that our lands, which will produce cotton, tobacco or corn, are worth intrinsically thirty-three per cent, more than they were then ; be cause of the value of the three arti cles has been enhanced to a larger per (rentage than that. But making due allowance for all of our dis astrous surroundings it is absolutely certain that the" property of the State Is worth rive Hundred Mil lions. Now, a tax of one-fourth of one per cent, upon this sum, would pay the interest upon the debt, re duced as above suggested ; would pay all the other State taxes, and would leave several thousand dol lars, to' be applied as a sinking fund every year. Indeed, so far as ability isconcerned.the people of the State are amply able to pay the in terest upon the State debt, as it now exists, without material damage to their business interests. This brings one to the second question. Are the jeople of North Carolina willing to pay their just obligations ; or to put the question in a little different shape, are the people of North Carolina honest? One of four courses of action is open to the Legislature. 1st. Hie total repudiation of the State debt. Any State or Twigrs A Pennsylvania Dutchman stopped cut A Fists.

The lady, did not teem to be in the least offended. That joung bride of Lake City, Fla., has a sanguine disposition, but still is not averse to the voice of authority. The justice who married her performed the ceremony fof the first time then. He got the affair considerably mixed, and wound up by saying: "Suffer lit tle children to como unto them:" At which the bride remarked: "Thank you; John, let's go; that's all we want." There is a station on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayneand Chicago Kailroad called which are comparatively free of "jdebt. Every material interest of our people is suffering from our ruined credit. North Carolinians, once so proud of the honor of the State, when they go among stran gers, hang their heads in shame at the bare mention of the subject. Every lover of the Slate earnestly ilesires to see this terrible burden removed, and the honor and credit bf North Carolina restored to the standard, which it had reached, Just prior to the late war.

By the introduction, advocacy and adoption in the Senate of the Ku Klux Amnesty Bill, and by the refusal on the part of the House to remove tne disabilities so unjustly aim so unrignieousiy imposed on Governor Holden. the staid and hitherto honest old North State has been most shamefully disgraced. And when it is considered that this scandal has been brought upon the State by the party of all the wealth, virtue and intelligence in it, we ate tne more surprised and mortified. To think of a bevy of gentlemen called upon to make laws for the punishment of evil doers, go to work, introduce, advocate and pass a law to release and rel'eve Irom justice a dastardly set of villains and cut-throats. This goes a little aneau ot anything that has yet been witnessed in the line of wink'ng at and encouraging crime. And then to think that these accommodating g.'nue.nen refuse to bestow upon Goveruo- Holden a man of excel lent wo th a statesman of unsur passed ability and integrity, whom the masses in North Carolina and n the whole country delight to horo. a privilege that every principle of justice and right aema;iu ne should enjoy, and which was taken from him by a set of miserable skunLs, who were not worthy to stooj down and un loose the Jatchet of his slioe. And then to c'ap tle climax, of all b e- faced impudence, the firePvIeme 1 of all the wealth occ, in the present Jegisiatu.e, ask Congress to relieve their friends men of the same ilk, from certain disabilities mosi justly imposed oa them for their active sympathy with treason, while they excuse themselves, for refusing to do the same thing, by pleading a W mt of po .ver.
