worse than paradoxical to bear a
Southern man of ' the xcarmth of the
editor of the Charlotte Home thus
cracking up Yankee wagons. .
It Is a shame and an abomination
In the sight of God that we have a
set of men,, calling themselves
Southerners and North Carolinians,
thai robbing the Children of our
own poor working-people of bread,
meat, clothes and the means of ed
ucation, merely to gratify the pro
pensity some men at the South have
to toady to and lick the boots of
the Yankees they profess to hate.
If there be anything more abhor
rent to a Southern man than one of
these Yankee-hater lick-spittles, it
Is the sight of one of these Yankee
Milburn wagons. '
The Era will urge the next Leg
islature to tax' this Milburn outrage
and this ankee abomination out
of existence, in this State, by plac
ing such a tax on vehicles manu
factured out of the State that no man
can afford to own one.
With the finest timber growing
in our forests, with muscle and me
chanical skill unemployed, our
rich and monied men send to Yan
kee land for their ordinary farm
wagons; and it looks like a syste
matic effortto starve our poor Into
Democratic submission.
North Carolina either has, or she
has not the right and the power te
protect herself, develop and build
up her industries. If she has the
right and the power, the Era insists
that her taxing power shall exer
cise the right in reference to the
Milburn wagon. If she has no right3
and powers, then let us cease our
pretensions as a State, and let our
fire-eaters lap their fill of Yankees.
Origin of Telegraphing.
An article in our last issue under the
above heading, seems to have escaped
the attention of our coteniporaries who
are willing to do North Carolina justice.
As a matter of history it is important,
and important to North Carolinians.

Injury to the State.could find a wel
come and unlimited space in any of
your Democratic contemporaries.
But come down to something
w ith sense snI pmct'cal vaiuo In
ft, either material or historical, and
see where your model North Caro
lina Editor IS ?
The conclusion arrived at is, that,
as a general rule, the North Caro
lina Editor is little better than no
Editor at all. Some have answered
a temporary purpose as scavengers,
and conveyancers of the refuse mat
ter for a filthy public sentiment ;
but as permanently useful, and
pract;cal instruments and channels
of public good, there is an Impoten
cy and a braying-want about them
which stamps them as worthless
jackasses.
t The Press of Georgia with one ac-
cord took up Dickson and made a
great farmer out of him, and he
even at Very moderate wages. Yet they
are very often abased, as worthless.
Uuy, idle They are not Lucy, bat of
ten idle, as the laborers "were when the
owner of the vineyard called upon
them at the 11th hoar and said unto
them, ."Why stand ye here' all the day
Idle r and they say onto him because
no mah hath hired as." . Offer them de
eea (are and low wages, and they
will very generally gladly enter your
service, and If properly directed will do
a fair month's work for a fair month's
wages. i .

TbJgpen the, great, .Farmer of the.
State and South, In this city last
week, he Informed the Writer that
he must be at home on Saturday, as
it was his pay-day; that he bad not
failed this year to pay his employ
ees of the farm on the first Saturday
of each month, and the consequence
was he had at no time wanted for
labor to conduct the heavy opera
tlons of his two plantations.
He spoke of his crop prospects
and his labor as being perfectly sat-
sfactorv to him: which troes to
sustain tne assertions of Mr.' New-
on that they are not lazy, only idle,
because no man hath hjred and paid
them.: .
It Is verr eratifying to know that
the colored .' people are Improving,
and through thrift acquiring, homes
and r property. .A. people of four
millions of souls, without an inter
est 1 ii the soil, '."were poesi bly the
most dangerous element that could
be permanently kept in a country.
As Southern production relied
principally on' the negro prior to
the war, so Southern restoration
and prosperity has depended, to a
greater degree, on him since, and
it is a mistake that we could dis
pense with the colored people ; that
it Is not our duty to help him up ;
or that it Is contrary to the princi
ples and Instincts of Southern man
hood to aid the promotion of his
welfare and the elevation of his
character.
There is very grave apprehen
sions in the minds of some of our
people.the friends of the colored peo
ple, and some of the colored people
themselves.'that the first generation
born and reared after the abolition
of slavery, and the consequent re
laxation of that home discipline
which characterized slavery, may
prove thriftless, idle and dissolute.
Hence the necessity for greater care
and attention on the part of our
white and better class of colored
people in training the youth of both
races for the positions of useful men
and women, and the greater neces
sity for hastening the colored peo
ple in education and the acquisition
of property and homes of their
own.
The people of the South have two
great problems blended In one,
which must be solved, and that is
the social problem in a sense of po-
itical economy, and involved in the
creat d radical Question is the edu-
o a
cation of the masses both white and
black, in. which education must be
included the industrial training as
well as the mental cultivation of
our youth of both races.

The projectors and builders of the
Air Line Railroad from Charlotte
North Carolina, to Atlanta Georgia,
through South Carolina, made the
effort last Spring to connect Golds-
boro. Raleisrh. the .Eastern and
Middle, as well as the Western por
tion of North Carolina with At
lantaTand "the South, by altering
the gauge of the North Carolina
Railroad to correspond rwith all the
Railroads from - Charlotte, North
Carollna.'to Galveston. Texas. But
they were met by the local opposi
tion of, the Raleigh and Gaston
Railroad, and an old fogy ism that
temporarily resides at the Capital
of the State. ' '' -
The friends of progress and Im
provement in this section now ltave
no hope to look to.' -
The ' Charlotte Observer an'd
Statesvllle InteJligencer make their
sujnrestlons not unadvisedly. "
vtno veruat." it is unaerstoou ana
given out that the Supreme Court
will permanently , restrain the
change of gauge, and declare the
lease void. Time enough will be
had in appeal to the Supreme Court
of the United States to complete the
link between Salem and Statesville,
and then where are we of Eastern
and Middle North Carolina?
The Era will urge the Legisla
ture, from the first day of its session
in November, to ratify and make
good the lease and pass an act or
dering the gauge of the North Caro
lina Railroad to be made five feet,
so as to make it a part of the great
Southern system of Railroads from
Virginia to Texas.

what that of Georgia did with

But it is of no ue. Our political

have no time for the small and ma
terial things of this life.
Dy the way it is given out that
Dickson is to deliver an address at
the approaching State Fair. Asa
matter of interest to itself, and a
few rear earnest and true North
Carolinians, the Era will, after the
Fair, reproduce tne address of J. R.

the production of the great Geor

' . Our Colored People.
That there is merit and "come
out" In the colored people of the
South, our whole people are be
ginning to acknowledge. The Dur
ham Tobacco riant 'makes this very
encouraging and gratifying state
ment in its issue of last week:
Several colored men are erecting neat
and comfortable dwellings on Chapel
Hill street, in the western part of the
town. Almost every colored man in
Durham, who has a family, has provid
ed himself, or are making arrangements
to build good and comfortable dwell
ings. ...
The .venerable and great Wil
loughby Newton, of Westmoreland
Count, Virginia, in a letter to the
Maryland Farmer t speaking of the
colored laborer in his employ and
under his observation, says :
We have had no difficulty about la
bor. It is true that for a short time the
negro as was nataral liked to enjoy his
liberty and to make an unseasonable
demonstration at barbecues or m asters,
as his white fellow citirena are wont to
do; but as the novelty has worn off,
we have had no dimenlty In this re
spect ; and I repeat jwhat I have often
said, that as farm laborers, the negroes
have no equals. They are kind and po
lite, easily satisfied, and when properly
treated and promptly paid, there is no
difficulty in getting enough of them,
If the Southern Security Company
want to establish a through, unbroken
line from Richmond to Atlanta, why
dou't they surrender tlio North Caro
lina lease and build a road from this
Doint to Salem? The distance is but
sixty-four miles. Two millions of dol
lars will accomplish the work, and such
rolling stock as it would need is already
in possession of the company. The
money could probably be borrowed at
less than ten per cent ; but say ten per
cent. This would subject them to the
payment of an interest of only $200,000
per annum. At present they are pay
ing $260,000 a year for the lease. The
road would open up a fine xuntry, and
the Southern Security Company would
be free from annoyance. Charlotte
Observer.
And the Statesville Intelligencer
adds :
This Company could read'ly afford
to buy the slock of the A., T. .t O. R.
K. at par, aud already owning the X.
W. X. C. to Salem, make the desired
connection by HUiug tlio g;ip between
Salem and Statesville.
Precisely the danger that threat
ens Raleigh, the middle portion of
the State, and the State's and in
dividual interest In the North Car
olina Railroad.
The Georgia iiers come with
glowing tribute to the men who
have completed the Air Line Road
from Charlotte to Atlanta, and
prognosticating the highest pros
perity and greatest good to that
Slate and its capital city, Atlanta.
Thus the Atlanta Constitution, of
August 29th :
President BuTord. of the Air-Line
Railroad, is in our city, but leaves this
morning. We had the pleasnre of
meeting him yesterday. No ordinary
man could have pushed through such
an enterprise as be has done. To con
struct a Hue of 206 miles of railroad
without government or State aid is no
small achievement. President Bnford
has done this. lie is a slender, nervous

road, and has a broad scope of utility
and work for it in the future.
Colonel Sage the superintendent and
Chief Engineer mentioned an interes
ting fact in connection with the road as
a developer of the country through
which it runs. Three years, ago the
road carried 1,100 pounds of guano and
returned nine bales of cotton. The
next year it transported 200 tons of gu
ano and brought hack 1,100 bales of cot
ton. Last year it carried 2,800 tons of
guano and brought down 10,000 bales of
cotton. Thus has this tingle produc
tion grown under the development of
this grand railway.
President Buford is very favorably
disposed to Atlanta as a location for the
road shop?. We trust sufficient induce
ments may be held out to him to locate
them here. , . . - ,
And Governor Sam Bard's new
Republican paper, the Atlanta New
Era, In its first issue, says : - f
. It in with no ordinary feelings of
pleasure that we consider the comple
tion of this great railroad, and we unite
with our neighbor, the Oowtitutum, in
according great credit to those gentle-
men f enterprise' and " eal, who have
given It their entire support. '
From the time the first spade of dirt
was turned, our sympathy" has been
with the road, and we have watched its
progress with a growing interest.
To all grand, enterprises like this,
which look to the material development
of the country andto Its increased pros
perity,' we hall always yield, a willing
support and enooaragement, and espe
cially will guarantee oar best effort in
behalf of all undertakings which took to
to the advancement of oar own city's
interest. Already the eyes of the coun

Wo are sometimes told that the ne
groes are a credulous people. This is
no doubt so, but ignorance is the parent
of credulity, and while tho colored race
may be, for this reason, easily be im
posed upon, how is it with the whites?
Where will you find a more easily
duped class than the uneducated white
people of North Carolina ? They are
repeatedly led off to the support of the
Slave Aristocracy, and blindly obey
the behests of those who use them only
for"their own advancement. Rut the
colored people are rapidly overcoming
their ignorance. They seize npn and

Jeff. Davis who was enabled by Gen.
Lee ' and his brave army to sway the
scepter of a King over the South, now
has the base ingratitude to indirectly
charge the gallant Lee with surrender
ing when there was no necessity for it:
In other words deserting the Confeder
acy with the hop of gaining more fa
vorable terms than were realized. Rue
this is true to the history of the remorse
less fiend who had made a grave-yard
of ti e South. After tho surrender of
Gen. Lee, when all sensible men knew
the longer prolongation nf war was
hopeless, and the sacrifice of human
life was nothing less than murder; and
when Jeff, himself was fleeing for dear
life for the pine woods and swamps of
Georgia and Florida, did he not urge
Gov. Vance to call out the last man in
North Carolina to face the victorious
armies of the Union and : light to the
death. '

The Whig tries hard to break the
force of the article which appeared
in the National Republican the
other day, showing that Virginia
liad been the 'Mother of Carpet
baggers" to a greater extent than
she had ever been the "Mother of
States." It wriggle or seeks to
wriggle out of the dilemma thus :
Many young Virginians went to
the Northern and Western States
not as .politicians, but as men of
business. Numerous young lawyers
and doctors settled, in the Western
States, marrying and raising fami
lies. Wherever these Virginians
went they became incorporated with
the permanent: population. They
were not adventurers in. quest of
office, and relying uppn negroes to
elect. them. Negro supremacy was
not dreamed of in those days.
This won't do, Mr. Whig. . It is
too thin for a nine years' old school
boy, even in, a Richmond colored
school, to accept as historic truth.
Young Vlrginianss are just as apt
to; carry their political principles
with them in going North or West,
as those of Hw England, or any
other Northern section, in going
West or South : and, if we may
judge of the number of needy Con
federates flocking to JSew xork
city for positions of political trust
and prorit immediately after the
war, the political infirmities (if
they may be called such) of one sec
tion will hardly compare unfavora
bly with another. It is undoubt
edly a great virtue in "young Vir
ginians" to go : North, not as "ad
venturers", in quest of office, but as
"men of business," seeking to
"marry and raise families" to "in
corporate themselves permanently
in the population," to ignore poli
tics and practice all the virtues
adorning human nature in general,
and that of "young Virginians" in
particular; but we want some facts
iroin the late Census, or some other
part Tally authentic source, to satisfy
usof the truth of the Whig's utter-

Una t
Gkntlk1kx: Many letters have U n
received asking information upon u,
present tatu of the Rankrupt law,
under recent unpublished amendments
and Judicial decisions. For reply to
these inquiries, I repectfiilly submit
tho following brief abstract of tho law,
as it now stands upon the subject of dis
charge, exemptions, Ac, Ac:
1st.-A 11 debts contracted prior U
January 1, aud all security debts,
and debts ndV proven In bankruptcy,
which have been contracted Mneetliat
date, are discharged without relerence
to assets. .
2nd. On all debts contracted since Jan.
uary 1, 18t!t), on which the bankrupt is
liable ' principal dtblor, and which are
actually proven against Ihe estate, the
assets in tho hands of the assignee must
equal 50 per cent., or the same propor
tion in number and value of these cred
itors must assent in writing to dis
charge. , 3d. Discharge Wilt be granted from
debts mentioned in paragraph 1, without
reference to , those mentioned in para
graph 2. ' (See Acts or July 27, 1SG8, and
July 14,1870.)
4th. The following exemptions are al
lowed f every citizen of North Carolina
in baiikj ut'-y.to-wit:, personal proper
ty, of the value of $o00, and real estate
for a homestead of tho value of 1,000
tinder State laws, and personal property
I .' y..... ... - I , , ,,
12,000. '
The foregoing exemptions are "valid
against debts contracted before the adop
tion and passage of the ttate s Constitu
tion and laws. as well as those contracted
after the same, and against 1 liens by
judgment 6r depreo of any 6'tate Court,
any decision of any such Court render
ed since tlw adoption of such Constitu
tion and laws to tho contrary notwith
standing.' (Sec act of Juno 8, 187, and
March :5d, 1873..) ,
Tlio recent decision of tho Supreme
Court of the United States in the Georgia
case, declaring the Homestead provis
ions of tho Constitution of that State
unconstitutional in so far as it relates
to debts contracted prior to its adoption,
has annihilated tho Homestead and
personal property exemptions in North
Carolina.in similar cascs.oxcrpt through
tho bankruptcy courts. !" "
In view of the demand which must
follow the recent liberal amendments to
the Bankrupt Act, anil the decision of
tlio Supremo Court destroying the
Homestead under State laws, I have
carefully prepared and had printed
ruled and endorsed in very neat style,
all the forms liablo to bo used in bank
rutcy by the officers of tho Court or the
profession. They will be sold at $l:M
per dnplicato sot, and forwarded on re
ceipt of price, by mail, post paid, or by
express as diiocted.
To facilitate business and promote
speedy discharges, it is suggested that
tho sum of $100, be deposited with 'the
petition in bankruptcy, and when o
done the Register is authorized and will
guarantee that no further sum shall be
required of the petitioner in ordinary
proceedings, and the deficiency found
upon the taxation of costs will bu de
ducted pro rHta from the costs of the
several officers of court.

against
: The E. City Carolinian.
A New Phase of Demagojrne-
.' ' ism.
Tho expedients and resources of the
political demagogue are wonderful. All
over the country we are witnessing the
amusing spectacle of Democratic poll
ticans all at once developing a great in
clination for farming. . Fellows that
have hitherto lived on their wits and
followed the Democratic party into the
"last ditch," .have suddenly had a new
revelation which directs them to "the
shovel and the hoe" to retrieve their
lost fortunes. They call themselves
"farmers" and borrow their neighbor's
reapers to ride through town upon, so
as to impress the patrons of Agriculture
that they belong to the Patrons of Hus
bandry. True, tew of these new fledged
farmers can tell the difference between
a cabbage and a turnip; but in their
shirt sleeves, with scythe thrown over
their shoulders, or pet ehed upon an ox
cart, jnst as their - neighbors pass home
from the post office, it would require
close, inspection to detect' the hungry
politician beneath the disguise of an
honest old farmer.
We have large sympathy for the far
mer'. movement, and hope that it will
bring about a healthy reform in the ad
ministration of public affairs. Rut we
advise the genuine farmer to - keep a
sharp eye upon those broken down po
litical hack who, with gad stick in hand
and corn shucks in their hair, come
knocking at the door of the Granges,
seeking admission as farmers bent on
reform. "We tell you, farmers, the re- ;

But there is another and higher
quality in 'young Virginians" who
go out of the state in quest of these
noble objects, and for these most
excellent, and praiseworthy ends.
They never rely upon negro votes
to elect them, however importu
nately they may be in quest of office.
Nothing but the proud Caucasian
ballot goes into their electoral urn.
They never would associate or have
anything to do with "niggers"
these "young Virginians" so eager
to marry and raise families in the
North and West! Here, again, we
want statistics some collection of
facts arranged and classified by the
Whig in order that it may not
make too laore a draught upon our
credulity. We have a very high
oninion of young Virginians, but
that they are entirely exempt from
the weakness and infirmities of
other young men such as are rear
ed i ii the moral atmosphere (what
ever that may be) of New England
is putting too big an impost upon
our faith and too much of a gabel
upon our over-credulous nature.
But the nub of the Whig's wrig
gling is, that 'negro supremacy
was not dreamed of in those days."
Happy, halcyon days for the youth,
the virtuous youth, of Virginia!
Then no such gargantuan monster
as trrafc which now affrights General
Kemper and . his associates on the
Conservative ticket, brooded in
night-mare horror over the grand
old "mother .of carpet-baggers" as
she lay in repose on the magnificent
bosom of nature! As a land to live
in,-Virginia was then thequintes
seuceof milk and honey, another
Paradise flowing with all manner
of essential sweets, from the historic
gum-trees of Fluvanna to where
the longest pole knock the highest
persimmon in the once happy and
over-abounding Surry. The won
der is, as we look back to those
happy and- halcyon days, and wit
ness the Limbus fatuorum from
which so many "young Virginians"
escaped, in their eagerness to "mar
ry and raise families" elsewhere,
that :some legislative restriction
was not laid upon this sort of carpet-bagging
by the transcendant
statesmanship and wisdom of those
days. Greater political oversight
was never witnessed, in any age or
country, by such commanding So
lons as Virginia then boasted. All
damrer of "neero supremacy" in
the state might have been avoided
by - this . timely . legislation, and
General Kemper would have been
spared much superfluous breath,
and the Whig much complaining
ink, in the . distressing campaign
now upon us.
But, seriously, will the Whig
name us a dozen Northern men at
firesent in Virginia, who are not as
egitimately Virginia "settlers" as
Roger A. Pryor, J. R. Fellows and
others are New York "settlers."
Name us the ."political adventur
ers" who are now here exclusively
"in quest of office and plunder,"
and see if you can make them a
dozen, all told.'- The charge of the
Whig is the mere clap-trap of its
party, and not the sentiment of its
gentlemanly and enlightened edi-
