Important Suits Against the State ; ' There are several suits of general interest, pending and lately institu ted in our courts. The first in or der of.time is the Swasey Suit com menced in 1871 in the United (fi J. r L A. : 11 L oiaies Vouix, u secure mo payment of three miluons of old State bond issued for the North Carolina rail- road, The court declared that the interest on these bonds should be paid out of the dividends accruing on the State's stock in that railroad, and that when the bonds become due in 1883 the stock itself may be lii i ' . it.' :t n, t boici to pay mo uuuus. xuo xve- ceiver appointed by tho court holds th r.rtifirat ifor the three million dollars of stock. Wo are not in formed whether or bot the Receiver proposes to vote the stock ,in $ny meeting of stockholders hereafter held ; but as he holds the stock it is riglit hard to. see I how the State can represent it. This suit has been a success for the bondholders who will; probably in the end obtain en tire possession of fho road. . The next proceeding t in point of time was that Brbusrht for Selt, by Reverdy Johnson in the same court, to make tne 1'ubiic Treasurer , pay back money borrowed from the taxes raised for .the purpose of pay- -ing interest on the special tax bonds ; this so far has proved a fail ure, except that the court intimated its opinion that the special tax bonds are valid and binding. The third suit is that recently in stituted by Major Graham to estab lish the right of certain bondhold ers to have their interest paid out of any funds in the hands of treas- 4SN AVt1 t- a i ah I n i I Tf Alii rf come derived by tho ' State from stocks, dividends, &c. Wo appre hend that the treasurer will never to such a purpose -and that the in come of ttorStata from stocks, &er,- will be in the future, as in the past, only a trivial, amount, a mere song. If that would satisfy, the greed of our bondholders they are welcome to it all! -6 A fourth action has also been lately brought by one Edward Scott to obtain payment of the interest due on his bonds which were issued i by the State to aid in tho construc tion of the '. Chatham railroad. In the ordinance of the Convention au thorizing the issue of these particu lar bonds, -it is expressly provided that the State" shall havo a lien on - I -. . . - . the Chatham railroad to secure the payment' of f the interest on 'these State bonds.' "! Scott seems to think that If the State has this lien for the purpose of securing the payment of his interest, and does not pay the , interest nor enforce the lien, the court will enforco the lien for his benefit- . V'" Thus far it appears that these bondholders are seeking payment out of stocks, liens, pledges, divi dends, &c, and not from the State directly, except in the Self case. There is, however, another case, brought by Richard Badger, Esq., which has an altogether different aspect 1 This, like tho Self suit, is based on the Special Tax Bonds. it is a portion of the legacy left our Buffering people by the Radical Leg islature, or 1868-'69. It is a be quest we do not fancy. Before that legislature, which was so fully im bued with rejiubHcan. corruption, departed this life in tho Spring of ' ,1870, it expressed its legislative will, and thereby left us twelve millions of Special Tax Bonds to pay ! We "were glad of its decease we hearti ly rejoice that it did depart this life, ' and it is a sweet solace to us to con sider that never again will a Radical Liegisiature assemble in tne Mails o our Capitol. But whilo the corrupt body is , dead beyond resurrection its Will exists, and is now offered for probate by the plaintiffs in this ?suit To be sure, Gov. Caldwell and Treasurer J enkins will contest the matter, although the latter was Pub- lie. Treasurer and issued the bonds, and Gov. Caldwell was President of. the "Senate, and signed the bills au thonzing the issue !! ' - , But' now' speaking, for tho people, they "will doubtless repudiate this legacy, which they and their repub lican friends bequeathed to us in 18G8-C9. But what if it be; too late 1 What if . the Will bo valid; if the legacy take effect ! The plaintiff asks that tne special tax bonds be declared constitutional and binding, and that the Auditor of the State be required to cause to bo levied and collected taxes to the amount of about two dollaes on the hun- dred dollars' worth of property to to do in my last letter.' r Grystalliza-f pay his interest! ! If the contest tion is going on, and from all the oyer tho probate of the last Will FifTt aPPf arance. should say nArvi t t ii t v it tnat tne Democratic-Conservative and Testament of tho Radical Leg-; nommccs for the two principal ofii- lslature be decided against the Peo- ces, by the two conventions, will bo pie in this suit, then will we fully Cot Alfred M.

Toil as and I know that in the counties the they may, the tax-payers of North feeling is almost equally as strong Carohna will find that all their labor is in vain. .Saddled with this Radi cal Legacy, our citizens become thej hewers of wood and drawers of water for our bondholders, who win- reap where they have not sown, and who will gather the fruits produced bv the "sweat of nnr hrnw "nr , r AV ell may we.pray for deliverance irom sucn banelulTesults; and well may we rejoice that an opportunity for tho radicals to repeal such finan- rml onfiratinR will nnvnr b nffnrrl- , x, U , . : ea, so long .as me people oi isortn Carolina preserve their reason, and exercise then nght to choose their own legislators. , ' towou "ture. , .

Hence rules by which the value of the commodity may be accurately ascertained, are well-known to those interested in the matter. Fluctua- . .! , tions in its value are based usually on the probable suppjy. Alarge crop argues a low price. A medium crop always yields a fine rcmunera- tion to the planter. iThe .crops marketed last fall and this spring are exceptionally large, amounting with estimated future receipts, to more ihan four miUions bales. A policy would indicate that in xvAj.a.w .vxau future smaller crops should be the rule. An over supply kills the col- dencoose. Two million five hun- dred thousand bales will net as much to tho South as 4,000,000 bales, Tho over-plus of 1,500,000 oales is labor absolutely wasted. We nnoA reform in mt'fnn milfnrA. This change can be ected oj through the instrumentaHty of an organiza- tion or association among the farm- ers. Each planter engaged in the business ought to be under some obhgation to. his n3gbprs npt to raise more than half a crop of this product. By doing this, he will be enabled to raise 'his own provisions on that part of the farm heretofore devoted to the staple, and thus be- come independent; havmg the prof- of the mystery.

J-iet tnese organiza- tions make it a point that cotton culture shall be restricted through- out the entire South, and a large proportion of our provisions be rais ed at home. By so doing, they will contribute more to their own prosperity the general welfare and happiness of their countrymen than have done all the statesmen that the South, has ever produced, Jlr.
