GEN. HAMP TON.
The following timely utterances we print
from tile- Lynchburg, Virginia, Newt and
give them our hearty endorsement, - except
in so far as it is staled that North Carolina
has at iny time gone into any "Walkbb
movement." Our party candidates for
Governor and for Senator have all been of
'the most straightest sect," and we have
never Abated opposition at any point to
President Geaxt, nor have we seen exact
ly (h(Jw any Opposition to him or to his ad
rnimstrkioncould be "factious.'; The Gbeie-
ley movement is all that can be charged

posed to censure Gen. Hampton for his
course tri writing to the Presidential can
didates; and intimate that h$ is showing
signs of leaning on the strong side. Thev
Say he Should hold no communication with
the Republicans in power-r-in other words
they think Gen. Hampton and South Caro

State government m au us aepanuieuws

resolution that .we would offer no factious
opposition to the administration of Gen.
Grant, 1 Don't let lis be hard on Hamp

eat no mare dirt than we felt compelled to
swallow in the days of out adversity. The
countrv hailed our course as wise, and
Georcia. i Tennessee., ilissoun and .North
Carolina followed our example, and. the
Walker movement so-called put the
wisdom of Virginia and the shrewd
ness f her politicians above par.
We all said from the hustings and.
through the press we must be ''wise as
serpents and harmless as doves" keemust
save mif State. With the adoption of the
Molungeoa Constitution, : the election of
John . Lewis as ouV Senator before our
eyes, and the fact that we had a fair white
majority pin the State, do! not let us cavil
at any act of policy on the part of the
brave and matchless man who has, after ten
years of Oppression and degradation worse
than avarj in the face of & black majority
of 80,000, in the face of an armed negro
militia backed by Federal troops, brought
his broken and crushed people and wasted
State so near to local self-government and
official: power that we can" almost hear
them, !like the 10,000 Greeks, shouting
through their tears, "the sea, the sea."
j ;.. The; Blinbis Legislature is composed, of
101 Radicals, 08 Democrats and 8 Inde
pendents. I The Brooklyn Eagle defines an
.Illinois Independent to be a man who "be-
lieves I that j property" is a crime, that rail
road stockholders are land pirates, and that
free-freights are a sweet boon, and that of
Web is tiie - kingdom of heavenl" The
jquestion of questions before the Sucker
Legislature just now is the , election of a
United States Senator to succeed General
Looak, whose tenri expires on the 4th
March: The General very naturally thinks
no ond so Well qualified to be his successor
as himself. ! Happily for the country,' a
large rium )er, and thus far a majority, of
the legislative Suckers have not proved to
be of the same way of thinking. But time
alone can tell what eight Illinois Indepen
dents 'will Ida Upon a rough guess, ; we
should: say they would go Radical.

TUG SOUTUEBJV STATE DEBTS.
A Committee of If ortbern Bankers
to Undertake their Heorsraniza-
- New York Herald, 4 Jan.
1 here was a meeting of the holders of
North Carolina bonds vesterdav. at 11 a.
m. at the assembly room of the New York
Clearing House. Fred Taylor, of Fred
Butterfield & Co., presided, i The meeting
was called by Messrs. August Belmont - &
Co.; Fred Butterfield & Co., Thomas
Denny & Co. and W. H. Hays, who are
large holders of the special-tax bonds of
North Carolina. Mr. Taylor said tliat his
nrm neld 1,250,000 of special-tax bonds,
out none oi tnose wnicn tne state recog
nizes, l nomas uenny ik uo. are said to own
and represent about $1,000,000. August
Belmont & Co. about $300,000, other gen
tlemen from $2,000 up to $120,000.
These gentlemen do not own any of the
recognized bonds, but the smaller holders
generally hold both classes. The object of
il 5. A. A 1 m
ima movement is to nave nve Dans: jf resi
dents act as arbitrators between the bond
holders and the State. Their names are
Geo. S. Coe, American Exchange ; Jacob
D. V ernulye. Merchants' National: B. B.
Sherman,' Mechanics' National : Enoch
Pratt, Nationsl armers and Planters', of
Baltimore, and Mr. B. B. Comegvs. Vice
President, Philadelphia National, of Phila
delphia, and Messrs. Coe, Sherman and
Vermilye formally accepted the trust,
The movement contemplates the surrender
by the holders of the various bonds of all
their rights to the arbitrators, the bondhold
ers to be bound by their action in the premis
es. The principal speeech on the part of the
new committee was that of Mr. Coe.v He
said that he and the rest of the committee
were invited a short tune ago to meet a
gentleman who was prominent in the rvn.
tenmal Exhibition; He . spoke to them ; nf
the possibility of an arrangement by which
all the Southern State debts -could be reor-ganized--an
idea quite in narhYony with
me purpuso ox. tue present meeting. He
puruy eu tuc . 4Miuurtonc0 oi tne move
ment, and tnougnt that a committee of five
prominent men not interested in South
ern bonds should be selected by the two
interests in unison. This had been done
as nearly as possible. The committee
wrote to the gentleman who instigated the
movement that as the committee ought to
uc iui juuwiuBi juuiciary to settle tne
equities of the case, some members should
oe oanic omcers outside of New York.

aujusiing tms important matter, and that
the committee had been wisely chosen, it
was willing to serve. "We think," added
Mr. Coe, ' that all here must see that such
an attempt properly1 conducted would .have
a very powerful influence towards the res
toration of perfect harmony between the
North and the South. No moral or re

During the 12 months just ended, the

decreased $5,772,136, and fractional cur

has been issued nearly '$26,000,000 in sub

pensates for thd aggregate contraction du

standing only $26,000,000 in fractional

of cthe. redemptions of fractional currency
for the past 12 months shows that or the
$10.500,QQ0 of the first three issues out

therefore,' that ' vety little ' of those ' three

of the fifth issue $13,250,000. J

Imperial Honors. :
In the latter part of last year, an act of
the British Parliament permitted Victoria
to call herself, Empress of "India" in her
Asiatic dominions, the title being confined
to India, and on Monday last proclamation
was made at Delhi carrying out the privl
lege - thus granted. The. 'programme for
the occasion was marked by Oriental pomp
and magnificence, and was beheld by a
crowd of assembled, tributary princes Aand
potentates. The iniposing demonstration
took place in Delhi; formerly the capital of
Hindoostan. ' The .celebration at such a
place was calculated to impress the natives
with , the - thoroughness of the supremacy
which holds them subject td'the monarch
of a little island in a distant - northern sea.
It hardly needed this, however, rafter the
deeds of Clive, Havelock, Dutrane, Law
rence and others to satisfy them that the
English were their masters. -The area of
the country over which Victoria has been
proclaimed Empress Lis 1,451,000 square
miles, and its population 240,000.000, or
about 200,000,000 more than that of the
United States. Only 64,000, of,, this
enormous mass of humanity are
British 1 born '-; subjiects. Efess ! than
200,000i? soldiers, only one-third" being
Europeans, keep this ; vast people in sub
jection. From the immense disparity be
tween the population and the army it is
conjectured that Britain holds. India by a
frail tenure. That 'remains to be seen.
The horse and the, .888 are much stronger
than man, but wisdom is more powerful
than strength. : India! has always been the
prey of more enlightened and heroic racesi.
In 1856 Gen.' Havelock, at the head of be
tween two and three thousand men gave
the final blow to the terrible Sepoy revolu
tion. The present policy of England is to
bind India to the British empire by ties of
interest and affection,! and not alone by the
strong hand As long as this course is
pursued she is likely to - retain her hold of
that region. It is not asy to see, however;
the political significance or value of pro
claiming the Queen Empress . of India, or
what use that empty title is, except to give
the Queen's family I 'social rank equal to
that of the families ot European emperors.
It would seem enough, for any reasonable
ambition, to. direct thei. destinies of so many
human beings, no matter under what name, '
and especially if the Opportunity to direct'
them is so embraced as to advance them m
civilization, virtue, and happiness. New

But in some other respects we must lament
the contrast of the beginning and close of
the century. ( Education, that ! great lever
in the development of humanity, has olv
viously declined. Early in the century, at
its. beginning, indeed, schools ,of v high
grade, incorporated Academys, were es
tablished in Edenton, then? the metropoli
tan towh of the Albemarle country. And
jothfer towns had flourishing accademies of
:high character. : Alore Interest was felt
and shown in. the. great, work,,, and
consequently there ' was t a " better
and more'contfolling element of public sen
timentin the earner, than in the later pe
riod of the century: . in the earlier period.

Herald correspondent at Berlin telegraphs
that no official news has yet reached that
city from the German representative at the
Cenference in Constantinople and nothing
definite 4s known as to the result of the
last session. Among those who are best
acquainted with the condition of affairs in
the East it is believed that the action of the
Porte was caused by fear of the fanatical
portion of the Turkish population
There were two dangers to be faced, the
one at home and the other abroad, and the
Porte decided that the home danger, being
the more immediate, should be met , first.
Therefore it-was decided to peremptorily
reject the proposals of the Conference and
resist any viuiauun ui vue suvercigu riguus

V It i
is grauiying to see tne steady anq
sbmewhat rapid strides Wilmington ia
making. And this, not as the result of
EtAte pride and detmnination to build up
oSe State emporium, but n spite of it.
If North Carolina had the sentiment which
has animated Virginia to concentrate her
affections and her energies upon Richmond,
and South Carolina upon Charleston, Wii
mingtgn would long since havejequalled
either of them in population and in
business. Her own energies antago
nized by the opposition pf the ' indift
f erence of State legislation alone nave
madeeruat'she lsrThese energies:
originated thatjsystem of railroads, reach
ing to tne remotest yy est, ana 10 me ex
tremest North and South, and, but for tile
hostility: of rival: companies, opening up a
market for the wnoie mtertor 01 tne state.
The same energies pressed upon the Gen
eral Goyemroent the need and the ' justice
of aid for the improvement of the river
and bar. . . t:;n ' . ' -; ; . t
i These last are. bringing, to pass the , re
sults $0 muchj desired . The depth of ; wa
ter on the bar and on the shoals is so much
increased that vessels of a tonnage once ex
eluded from the harbor now easily load at
the wharves of ' the' townV This ' has been
followed bv a large, increase of foreign ton-
nage. In 1870, but twenty vessels under
foreign flags entered tne port .mow me
number is between two and three hundred
and constantly increasing.'
The easy access td the harbor is one
in-
ducement, (he certainty of cargoes another,
and the very low port ' charges another.
This latter.is one reason, why Wilmington
is Dccoming ukj luupuiug puib iw luo ul
terior of Georgia, t Many: vessels are now
under cliarter to', land,' cotton for foreign
nnrta onntrarts bein? made bv- railroad
companies in . the . interior.'' UTiis adds
largely to the' amount of cotton shipped
from Wilmmgton, which this 1 year will
reach Drobablv 200.000 bales! , But a great
deal changes hands .here, and the city is
rapidly assumingiAlarge ' propdrj,ipns aa a
cotton market." ' tw - j .

a heavy business, and its wharves; are al
wdys nlled'witli foreign vessels:Nd coast
wise shipments areoompresaea, or ai least,
but a small proportion ; but the Compress
is at work night and day.
Another important branch of business
received a vast impetus during-' our visit
Naval stores which had languished for the
past four years: suddenly re vi ved: Spirits
of turpentine, which had been as low as
28 cents, and which at the beginning of
the week of our visit were at 42, steadily
marched up to 49 cents. , This will be: a
blessing to those engaged in this business,
whichwas, once almost tne soie mdustry p:
the pme region. ' . '
; The lumber, business has much dimin
ished, and a few years more will ' mark its
encL As the timber becomes more inac
cessible, tbe superior ' advantages ; of the
Lfresher foreststof Georgia' and, Florida will
assert their pre-eminence. . , . .
fThe culture of rice, once the distinctive
-business of tbe old Cape Fear planter, is
nearly discontinued , A few thousand
bushels now represent the immense yield
that once poured out from the magnificent
fields. These last are mostly abandoned,
and must wait the time wnen capital can
be spared to- drain them,. and put them tp
other ,uses. i No doubt in time they will be
made the most productive meadows on the
continent, or, like the rolders 01 Holland,
be so thoroughly reclaimed, as to be appli
cable to any crop. '.. -
With all her elements , of prosperity
Wilmington lies prostrate , under that mos ;
fatal of all evils political' tyrrany; : She ill
at tne mercy 01 ignorance - and aisuonesiyj
The wealthiest tpwn in the State, is under
the rule of the race which a few years since
plodded through the mud of her rice fields
Her property is assessed and . her taxes

simplest rudiments of Daboll or Pike; byi

the necessary step, a bold one perhaps but
constitutional and takes charge of the ctty
government, Wilmmgton may exist, ' but
she cannot prosper. ' The views and the
plans of the leading men of the city i will
no doubt be presented to the Legislature at
an early day, and that body ; should, not,
