The poor men (esjievially colored ones) do all the work, while the soft-handed gentry look quietly on. There should be a road tax levied in each county, out of which fund the over seers should be required to pay for haying the roads kept in order The roads a few miles out from Raleigh are in a sad condition. We happened to pay a visit to Panther Branch District, in Wake county, a few days ago, and on the road be tween Dr. T. L. Bank's house and Myatt's ioud our uggy got into a mud hole in the middle of the stage road, and we had to cut our har ness, unhitch the horse, get knee deep In the mud, and with the aid of some good Samaritans, pull out.

Schools. No city of Its size in the United States , can boast of better schools for young ladies than our good city of Raleigh. Every portion of the State, and many parts of the country at large are repre sented by young ladies ut our dif ferent seminaries. It is natural that ft should be so. Raleigh Is a beautiful and healthy city, and the uomi mm f lnnntq.. ma II-- r- having In charge the pupils of -the several institutions, are unsurpassed in the United States. The strictest attention is paid to the moral and physical training of the students, and every caro is taken to render their situation as comfortable as possible. Tho female schools of Raleigh are a complete success. We are sorry we cannot congrat ulate ourselves upon having what we consider our fair proportion of male schools. We ought at least to have one large seminary for young men. It is true that our friend J. M. Lovejoy, Esq., has an academy for boy?, but he is not sup ported as he should be. We ought to have a large college established in or near the city and it should be the pride of the people of the State to encourage it. Virginia lias her "University." her "William and Mary," her "Richmond College," her "Hampden, Sydney" and other large and flourishing institutions, and North Carolina contributes largely to their support in the way of students. This should not be. The people of North Carolina owe it to themselves to have their youth educated within our own borders? It should be our boast to educate our vounir men at homo anu tnus inculcate that State pride, for want of which we are often taunted by our sister States. We do hope our eading men will take hold of this matter and at no late day endow such an institution at or near the Capital of the State, as will be the pride and boast of every North Carolinian. challenge Accepted.

They reaffirm and reiterate their platform of 1872. t. They endorse and approve the administration of President Grant In. the past, .and pledge it their support for tne iuture. taxation. We are in favor of the ad valorem system of taxation, as adopted by the state convention, as me oniy just and equitable system, and pledge ourselves to its support and enforcement. ; " The tide-water population of the State have paid without complaint the taxes necessary for the support of the State debt contracted for pub lie improvement, from which they derive no local advantage, and are entitled to demand a repeal of any law levying a tax upon ; any inter est or property not general in this commonwealth.-- f '1 Resolved, That the Republican party of . Virginia, through its rep resentatives in the state and nation al government, recommend the to tal abolition of the tax on tobacco as soon as it can be done without detriment to the national finances. . i u INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT, t '' ,The greatest good for the greatest number, being one of the principles of Republicans, we are in favor of such a system of public improve ment as shall best secure that re sult. :-The necessities of not only Virginia, but of the whole country ggmand - increased - facilities for fore In mV?$??FftiirzrTZV of the James River amr Kanawha canal, and call upon the Congress of tne united states to ta&e this mat ter into consideration at the next session, and make an appropriation for the same.

The Republican party of Virginia in common with the national lie- publican party, is opposed to all torms of repudiation, and favor such a finanicial policy as shall tend to the payment of the public' debt of the btate without being oppressive upon ner citizens, we regard the expenses of our State government as disproportions to the available resources of the people, and demand that they shall be made more fully to confirm thereto. We disapprove all extra compensation, and favor economy in government, State and national : that we deem the act known as the "funding: bill" as im politic, unjust and oppressive, and enacted solely in the interest of bondholders, regardless of the con dition of the State's resources : and we are in lavor of and demand the submission of the question of the nnanciai oniis-ation or west Vir ginia to Virginia to the supreme court of the United states for decision. MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT. We are in favor of the develop ment of the material resources of our state, which under the rule of the Conservative party and its pre decessors, nave lain dormant. The mines of coal, iron and other min erals, the vast water-power, and the many other material resources of the state, which exist in rich pro fusion on every hand, need but en terprise nnd capital to develop Steve Lowrey, the last of Lowrey band, who have been so long a time a terror to the zens of lvobesou county, was standing near the railroad yesterday just before the down train reached A loss Neck. The out law had a double-barrel shot gun across his shoulder, and an eigh teen shooter swung to him at the time, besides several side-arms. He was represented as a walking arse nal. This is, we believe, the first time that he has been seen since Dial was arrested some two weeks ago. Wilmington Post.

There were nine whiskey distiller ies operating, producing 26,278 gal lons ; 319 brandy distilleries, yield ing 97,261 gallons ; 113 tobacco fac tories manufacturing 1,928,731 lb of tobacco, and two cigar factories, making 24,932 cigars.

We would call the attention of our readers to tho Advertisement of Horace Waters and Son, headed, " Waters' Con certo Parlor Organs," and foradescfip tion of them we can't do better than to copy the following : " The Waters Con certo Parlor Organs. We are glad to chronicle any new thing, or any im provement upon an old one, that tends to DODularize music by rendering its study either easier or more attractive. Lately our attention has been called to a new patented stop added to the Waters Reed Organ, called the Concerto Stop. It is so voiced as to have a tone like a a full, rich alto voice; it is especially 'human' in its tone. It is powerful as Avcll as sweet, and when we heard it, we were in doubt whether we liked it best in Solo, or with Full Orgaii. We regard this as a valuablo addition to the Reed Organ."
