At the last session of the Legisla

tee was appointed to take into con
sideration' the finances of the State,
and to Incubate and present to that
body some plan for the arrangement
of the public debt.
For years the bonds of the State
of North Carolina have been hawked
about on Wall Street, offered to pur
chasersat astonishingly low prices;
and, even sunk to such depreciation
as they have reached, tempting no
buyers. In one way or another, not
to put too fine a point upon it, the
credit of this commonwealth has
been utterly ruined. In a financial
point of view North Carolina has a
vile reputnttou.
In 1SC8, when the Republican
party came into pbwer, it found
the State loaded down w ith a fear
ful burden of bonded and Boating
j debt. It endeavored to establish a
new respect for the State credit by

therefore, the Democratic press of
North Carolina teemed with warn

vindicated of the charges preferred
against him, and the Era made Mr.

him ; thai it to say, he wa vindica

reporting his being fired on, and as
to his own personal conduct on the
trip through the South Mountain
country,

Should the early days of Decem
ber indicate this better state of
things, the price of cotton will ad

Chatham R. R. to the Democratic
party; or, to speak more exactly,
to its press. This is not the moment
to advert to the fact that the devel
opment of our material resources,
which was dependent upon irami-
gration, which was dependent upon
the completion of a thorough sys
tem ' of internal improvements,
which was dependent upon the un
tarnished credit of the State and a
consequent sale of bonds, was pre
vented by the Democratic party
its leaders and its newspapers. Nor
is it necessary to show now, as can
be done easily, that if this develop
ment of material resources, resulting
from immigration, this resulting
from perfected internal improve
ments, and this resulting from un
doubted State credit, had not been
frustrated by the Demoeractic press
politicians, North Carolina would
have been to-day fully able to meet
its interest on its bonds, and to pro
vide for a sinking fund adequate to
the ultimate payment of the prin
cipal of those bonds. Our object is
to direct attention to something
else, something that has occurred
more recently.
Through the machinations of the
Democratic party, its leaders and
Its presw, by prevratin the perfec
tion ttf the internal improvement
system and by encouraging the
midnight assassinations and arsons
of the Ku K lux, and by consequent
ly preventing immigration and the
development of wealth and re
sources that would have inevitably
followed. North Carolina is not
only unable to pay the Interest on
its debt, but is unablo to pay the
taxes absolutey necessary to carry
on the government, except with
the' utmost difficulty. The Demo
cratic members of the Legislature
knew this to be the case as well as,
or better than any one else. They
know last Winter, further than this,
that the State Debt could be com
promised with ease for twenty or
twenty-five per cent of Its face, and J xv

To the Editor of the Era:
The card of Mr. Alexander Mc
Iver, Supt. PuMf? Instruction,
which appears in the Era of the 2d
Inst, is characteristic. Not only is
the general tenor calculated to mis
lead the public as to the true condi
tion of the matter in controversy,
but his statements are of such glar
ing character as tocall for correction.
In order to justify his own course
which is indefensible, he launches
out with reckless indiscrimination
which is truly astonishing. The
unpardonable sin which ha so stir
ed him against me, consists in the
fact that I prosecuted his sons for
trespassing upon the University
property, and had his servant pros
ecuted and convicted for cutting
down and carrying away to his
house fuel from the adjacent
grounds of the University. To this
he waf mly refers in his card, call
ing her his "wife's servant girl."
He paid the fine and cost, and this
shrewd method of saving the ex
pense of fuel, was from thcnc2 dis
continued. In erder that his charges against
me may have due weight, I will
hastily review some of his wonder
ful allegations with respects to oth
ers. The outrages upon the Fhi Li
brary had become so frequent as to
lead Mr. Pool and myself to employ
a stratagem which should convince
us as to the identity of the guilty
parties. It became evident to us
who they were. We had employ
ed a detective without consulting1
Mr. Mclver. He Wa Inftilined of
the situtien tf things, and as was
expected, he very soon caught the
sons of Mr. Mclver on two succes
sive days in and upon the roof of
the Phi Library. It was also as
certained that one of these boys had
broken the door, assisted by ooe of
his play-fellowt, through Which
they and ethers entered the build
ing. They were arrested, but Mr.
Mclver claimed that as Supt. Pub
lic Instructions, he had authority
over all the property that the boys
were there with his consent, and
they were not convicted. Mr. Mc
lver is not a member of the Phi So
ciety, and had no right to send his
sons and other boys Iik When ar
raigned befov the public he feels
the awkwardness of his position,
and hence his efforts to justify him
self by stating that the "doors had
been standing wide open for three
weeks or more, and that anynhd
all persons went in and out," Ac.,
That is, that all other person? went !
in and out and were guilty tef tres
pass equally with himself and his
sons,
Even if his charge were true, it (
would not palliate hi oflVwti. Rut
i it is not true. The good citizens of
Chapel Hill have done no such
thing. They would scorn to enter
the buildings under such circum
stances, or to send their boys in to
disarrange and injure the Libraries.
The statement of Mr. Mclver,
through the public press in justifi
cation of the acts of his son that
. . . . a
not only they, hut "All persons
went in and ou0' is no less than a
deliberate libel upon every lady
and gentleman In Chapel Hill.
The Methodist Sunday School made
a respectable application Mr,
Pool and myself, in Jenifer the use
oftho ChapeJe.trtt campus for their
annual celebration. The applica
ticn Was granted, and e proper
ty was placed in their custody du
ring the day. We had never felt It
our duty to refuse to allow persons
to visit the Libraries under our Su
pervisiou. un in is wccaion visiy
tors may havie rtsno so while the
property Vu3 under the supervision
especially with reference to myself.
He is as unfortunate In representing
a conversation which he claims to
kave had with me, as he is in rela
tion to the letter of Coh Saunders.
I have Invariably phid for the fuel
used by myself and family, and the
assertion that I have ever received
wood from the University lands on
shares, or that I told him so, Is sim
ply a fiction of his fruitful fancy
the same fancy that saw all persons
go in and out of the building whose
door his son had broken which saw
more than fifty persons upon the
Library building, and which saw
Col. Saunders go through the Halls
and Libraries and print " what he
saw and knew." I have at com
mand a private correspondence,
wherein his wonderful tact in this
respect Is even more clearly exem
plified, when ft small amount 'of
money waS at stake. At present I
do not publish? it, as it has no imme
diate connection with the case.
He charges me with an attempt
to have his children tried in his ab
sence. He is fully aware that I
wrote to him, informing him of my
intention mor than a week before
the trial came off, and some days
before the day first set by the mag
istrate for the trial; and he will
hardly deny that he received the
letter. There was no attempt what
soever on my part te MVfe his boys
tried 11 his absence.
Mr. Mclver says that his sons
were arraigned under a false accu
sation. He knew that the accusa
tion was true, or he would not have
permitted his attorney to have Har
mon discharged cn Account of his
age, Or he would not have so per
sistly objected to a witness being
examined as to the guilt of Harmon.
The magistrate allowed the exami
nation of the witmss, and it was
shown that Harmon entered the
University Library, in my charge,
through an upper window and pro
cured a key within for unlocking
the door. This evidence, Mr. Mc
lver was afterwards constrained to
corroborate, and after hte acknowl
edging the truth bt the evidence,
aud when it was insisted by myself
that Harmon could not climb up to
and get in the Library through such
a high window from the ground,
and that he' was assisted by other?,
Mr. Mclver replied that he (Har
mon) could climb up to it like a
squirrel, and that he had before
tried him. It is to be remembered
that Harmon was at the time strick
en from the warrant, and that Mr.
Mclver'"" ok' ef srn WaS on trial, and
for Ihe establishment of whose in
nocence Mr. Mclver relied upon his
presence and consent, authorizing
the trespass.
The building in Mr. Mclver'scare
has remained all the while unmo
tested, while these in tbe Wre oi
Mr. iVot ftn'd myself have suffered.
The vandalism has been the work
of his boys, leading the van, and he
knows it. But for his having taken
advantage of .he age of one of his
sons, and claimed to haveauthorlty
grass and flowers and shrubbery, as
well while the campus was kept in
repair as since. And yet he mani
fests great concern for the protection
of the property.
I am prepared to show that at our
own expense, Mr. Pool and myself
have repeatedly closed and nailed
the doors to soon find them again
broken. And this is only a part of
the pains and expense we have been
at for the protection of the property.
Mr. Mclver will hardly say that he
has shared the expense with us to
the amount of one dollar. I make
no estimate of his profits in the way
of pasture "upon the grass and Col
lege shrubbery and fuel from the
College grounds.
It was knoWn that for about four
months hs had purchased no wood
lot the use of his family here, but
had relied alone upon the dexterity
of (as he styles her) his "wife's ser
vant girl." I had prosecuted aDd
convicted several persons for similar
offences. Although he was of the
three in chargeof the property tmd
although lie "claims so carefully to
have walked over and watched the
lands, yet he bore no part in those
prosecutions or any others. He
could not have consistently done so
while his " wife's servant girl " was
guilty of the Sathe crime. At length
I thought that these trespasses on
her part also ought to cease. His
servant was arrested, tried, con
victed, and he paid the fine and
costs. Soon thereafter, and since
the publication of his conduct and
that of hi friendsi he cntratted
&ii'd purchased about twenty-eight
loads of wood, and his " wife's ser
vant gill 11 has no longer been seen
carrying timber from the adjacent
University land. He is believed to
have been following in the wpke of
this servant when he saw the "belts
of green stumps " to which he so
graphically refers in his card.
It would not be difficult to account
for his misrepresentation of the con
tents of a printed letter, or of a
conversation that fce claims to have
had with me; these may be attrib
uted to the misfortunes of his early
life, or to the infirmities of prema
ture age. But his conduct in other
matters is outrageous and beyond
the nwh of charity.
He appears sensitive upon this
subject oi Honor, lie is not upon
that high road when he forsakes the
path of truth, and to justify his
sons and himself, publishes a libel
upon some of, the bt tadieS fend
Seiitleiiien in North Carolina nor
when he pastures his cow and calf
upon the flowers and shrubbery and
saves his money by cutting and
using through his " wife's servant
girl," timber on the University
land when he Parl-v educates or
eneou-ae'ei3 his?on; whd had Broken
bpen the door of one building and
stolen through an upper window
and purloined a key from another
when he ungratefully forgets the
benefactions of friends, and joins in
the defamations of their enemies
nor When he seeks to conceal hiin-
The way Jupiter, Jr., inserted his
spiggot into Swepson's barrel and
drew out his five thousand dollars,
and the way he abuses Swep and
refuses to pay him, all carries me
back to the noble bearing of the
generous Jones in the matter of
Smith's cider. ?
But to return. Our second-handed
Jupiter's genius is a3 multifarious
as it is transcendent. With his
keen second-sight he perceives a
ring or a Railroad President behind
each editor in the State, who dares
to print a paper in opposition to
his peculiar views. With equal
success he runs churches, colleges,
Agricultural Societies, newspapers,
grand juries, turnip patches, politi
cal parties, railroads beegums and
an account with Swepson. He
shakes his kaleidoscopic pen, and
an unoffending public sees for the
seven hundred ahdseventy-seVenth
time that same old editorial. One
day it comes in one shape and the
next day it comes in another. One
day it seems to carry consternation
into the ranks of the enemy, but as
the smoke clears away the painful
yells heard in his own camp and the
cheers in the other prove that the
thing went off wrong end foremost
and injured only his friends; and
that he has simply blown up his
own magazine.
I fear you will consider this letter
as somewhat of the scatteration
style, and I have to confess that it
is, but I was trying to follow my
subject. .This accounts for the
style. Yourt as eVer,
Timothy Takbucket.

he got killed in Mexico. His name
wafe Jones and he irasa soldier. He
discovered that a mat! in the next
tent to him had the only barrel Of
cider in camp, and that he was sel
ling it at ten cents per glass. So
what does he do but take a gimlet,
bore a hole in the end of Smith's
barrel next to his tent, and proceed
to sell cider at five cents per glass.
Smith's customers began to drop
off and he asked one of them the
canst?. , ,
Says he "you ask too much for
-our cider."
"But," says Smith "this is all the
cider in eampf and it can't be afford
ed for less than ten eents a glass.
"We can get cider for half that
price," said the former customer.
"I'll bet you a dollar you can't,"
says Smith.
"Agreed," was the reply, and he
took Smith around to the other tent
and there stood Jones dealing out
Smith's cider from the other end of
his barrel at five cents a glass.
Says Smith to Jones, "what are
you doing?" "
Says Jones, "I'm opposed to
monopolies and I'm running an
establishment in opposition to the
ring."
"I see you are" says Smith "but,
you rascal, you are running your
establishment on my capital," and
you shall pay me. .
You ought to have seen the right
eous indignation as it flashed from
the eyes of the noble and generous
Jones as he turned on the cider
owner. Says he, "you belong to
the ring. I am your enemy. . 1
shall never cease to abuse you, and
I will never pay you a cent for what
I have had from you."
