- The Western N. C. Railroad belong
practically to the Mortgage Bond-bold
era. The State's interest in it it a
Stockholder is a myth. The rights of
the State io the corporation are practi
cally cod fiiied to adding one-third to
the burden of each tar-pajer in North
Carolina to complete the road for the
Mortgage Rood-holder.
North Carolina did not more lavishly
contribute of her best blood to sustain
a glorious but fallen cause than she is
now contributing of her hard earnings
to ruh out "mud cut for the benefit
of the Mortae Bond-holders.
Ia the rame of a "North Carolina
vtecu which wu hopelessly shatter
ed when the North Carolina Railroad
became in appanage of a foreign cor
poratjoo. honest bat unsuspecting leg
ulators are educel as sheep follow tbe
tinkling of a bell. The better informed
or more wary are bullied, cajoled, in
duced by support of their local meas
ures to exited aid to this and the backs
of tbe people are still further bent to
the bu rdeo that a few men may gorge
and fatten on the Public Treasury.
Thie iron hand is on the throat of the
people and w hen rbey &p for breath
and thaxe is a s'.rug!e to b. fre, an
additional burden has been added of
another railway appropriation to insure
enough leg:!at-Tf votes to secure the
prtsect burden iu its place.
The Ntw? is a life lon friend of the
Western N. C. R." IL It heartily acd
earnestly desires the completion of the
wcrk. It does not desre to see it built
at the tax-pavers expense, to become
as it now- will, the property of the
Mortgage 'Bocd-bolder. It dee not
desire to see the best treasure of North
Carolina, rased on the biades of tbe
hoes, and turned up by the plow
shares, of her laboring thousand turn
ed icto a golden sluice to wash out
"oui-cui" that a few men may bare a
broad track and a smooth pathway to
enormous, wealth.
Tr at is wbat.it all amounts to,
"Merely this aLd luthing more.
It is well to calculate how much
North Carolina is racing annually to
this end.
The totai State taxes last year were
to3-l."00. Of this f ITV'OO was the tlx
appropriated for paying the interest of
the Mortgage Rood-holders t nd build
icg the road for tberu. A little moie
than ) oce-tbird of the St te taxes
ia:d by each county an 1 by each rotor j
was pai 1 for the ttit f tb gTi

And so on for all the other cout t es
The following is the annual prop r-
tion paid by the two counties through
which the road is t run:
Buncombe, IM'OO
Madison, 600
Tbe only twj oan'i through
which the rotd is to run contribute
I2.S:0 and the real of the State is tax
ed annually for this end $116. 0J.
Now how do individuals bear the
burden. It is of course) one-third ad
ded to the Slate tax paid by every
voter in the State.
If a man paid .JJ State tax last year
$10 was the tribute money he pad to
enrich the syndicate (ring is too impo
lite a wotd, in the estimation of some
pop) which shrewdly procured and
keeps in force this tax levy. One
third cf the tax oti luoiuea, eue ih rd
of the merchants tax. oae-third cf tb
1 j lor tax, io short one third of every
tax collected fur t ie Slate is addd for
tbe benefit of these) Rotd. Holders acd
one third of the entire State tax can be
struck from the shoulder of the pe
pie by a simple act pid l y the rep-
reaentatives of the prople allowing
these mortgage Bond-holders to com
plete their own road. It may be said
that they will foreclose their mortgage
atd take the road. It is far better that
they should. They really own the
road. They will foreclose when the
toad is finished. Let them do to now
and build their own load. They can
and will do it doubtless and more
cheap'y than the Slate can.
The opposition to tbis will come not
fro.a the friends of tbe people but from
the fr.ends of tne mortgage bond
holders. There are doubtless gentlemen who
have by tbis time become owners of
aorae of these boi ds by purchase in
- t . I - i i
tbe open market. 1 bey ol course n u no
band in tbe legislation which has
placed tbis heavy burden on the peo
ple of this State. They can not be
damaged by allowing them to prose
cute their rih'-s under the mortae.
"The Slate i under no contract with
any i n to continue to tax heiself to
bji'.d bon J-holders' Rjads.

It brcane ccrUin that this appropri
ati n wiu in danger of repeal. There
upon, it ia aA-wrted, that to get addi
tion streneth an arrangement was
made to charter the Cape Fear & Yad
kin Valley R ulroad. By this 50,Ct-0
in cash and 74,OO0 to pay and feed con
victs have been appropriated for 187U
out of the pub'ic treasury. $124, Out
approximates a fourth of tbe State tax
paid last yea-. That is to uav, to en
sure tual me g oi ine oiaic ui ni
as above paid as tribute to the West
ern N. C. R. R. should not bo dis
turbed, neaily onefourth of the whole
tax is added upon each county and
upon each trade and each profession
and each voter h r anMLer ia Iroail
corporation.
To secure votes a wide, reaching

x ue views wuicii we nave seen ex-nre-
- 1 elM.where on the merits of the
first ard M-coLd stclior s ofllcusa bill,
entitled an act to regulate Firo In
surnce in orth Laro.lni, excite
surjrise ard regnt in the miuds of in
telligent undrwriteis and we fear
wdl mis'ead that class, who have no
fixed opinion of their own, but invaria
bly "sneeze when their advisers take
stuff." At no little cost of time and
trouble, Me.'srs. Ak nson & ord n.
prominent and intel"' g nt Cn hr
writers of Wilmint .'n had v'sited our
city and assisted the llaleih board in
compiling htatis.ical information, argu
ments and facts, which by the curtesy
of th? Committee on In.-urance, ih-y
were permitted to ljy boforw it. Not
only ,they reatl telegram' and letters
from 41 of the 4G foreign Compan'es
dir; busine'U in this Stat, stating in
the eveut of the passa;e of such a hill
thai thfy would cancel e.ery pr.licy
now ex sting, and withdraw from tht
State, and Mr. Pimros, the Secretary
of the N. C. Home Insurance Company
informed the Committee that it would
force his and a I t' e other Ni r 1. Ciro
lina Companies to retire fnmi business
and we learn that, a majority of tbe
Committee and members of the Senate
exp:eied s'long oppoii-n t thi bill.
They saw c'.eirly it-, d isastrous oonnr-
inr.c?j in the niouragemiut of arson
and fraul, that tbe S:afe wo ild be de
prived of an iucome of 115,000 per yrar.
that exceed ng 100,000 mw paid by
the insurance companies for agency
expanses, rtn's, it tome vs fc-s, adver-
tisiof, etc, wou d uo longer ba enj -y-
ed, but that th ago i.s w ul 1 hive to
return the commissi jns ou all policies
cihc-lled at a fearful loss and a great
cost of lime and trouble, tu ons be
benttitted, and ths business men and
owuers of property be forced t have
nsurance placed in distant State un
der their laws, at increased ost, delay
and inconvenience, and they ad
vised tht Underwriters to fesl no more
concern about tbe bill, aa it would not
be recommended by the committee.
The father of tho Bill and his friends
seem to bi ignorant of th j fact, that an
Insurance Po'icj is simply a contraot,
based upoa a survey and application
made by ths assund, who fixes the
values, that the' agent, who secur. s the
Insurance acts as tbe agent of the ap
plicant,that the policy promises t piy
loss or damaga that may bj caused by
tire, at its value immediately preceding
the fire, and uot when the application
was made, and they overlook another
fact, tint Insurance agents Lave no
authority to change the couditions of a
policy to fruit such laws as are pioposed
without the previous consent of tbe
Comiany tbey r pesent,and therefore,
such a law would be inonperative, as
no Company appreciating the indem
nity promised by Ps policies would
consent to such changes. We hope,
-hrelore, that our L -gislature will not
enact any law calculated to force the
Insurance Companies to retire from
North Carolina, and so serious'y in
jure, nty, destroy ths biiMness of In
surance Agents of this State. A large
DUmbar of the Companies will stop
the expense of filing and publish
ing their annual statements, until they
are satisfied that no hostile legislation
will be enacted. As previously stated
in your columns, the statistics in Secre
tary oi State's ollks show that in 177
(a year remembered for very few firef-)
the Coropmies paid 105 for every tlOO
premiums received, and the loss was
far grea'er in 1 f 78. and hence, 13 com
pauies Lave very recently withdrawn.

An esteemed correspondent writes
the News a long letter from Greens
boro. Want of space prevents its pub
lication The letter lays now two
propositions. First, it denies that a
single vote in the Senate of North
Carolina last Fiidiy, night cost the
tax payers f 100,000. It says the ap
propriation ouch' to have been made.
Second, it says tint it is meanness to
compromise the State Debt. That it
ought to be funded and paid in full.
The News differs with its correspond
dent. Let him pay his pro rata of both
and be satisfied. The miioritvof tax
payers will d jubtless prefer a different
com se.
