But his predacessors, 50 years ago, held to the same idea when our territory was duly two-thirds in ex tent of what it is at present; And so, ninety or a hundred years ago, if the protectionists of that day had been as narrow as they are now ( but they were not), they would have maintained that the Union, bound ed by the Mississippi River on the west and the thirty-first parallel on the south, was precisely that limit of territory over which it was safe and profitable to trade without the necessity of erecting artificial bar -UlUMlu guuiy assgrar during the long period between 18 12 and 1851 free trade tariffs were thrice followed by industrial stag nation, by financial embarrassment, by-distress among all classes depen dent for subsistence upon their own labor: Thrice Were these burdens removed by the enactment of a. pro tective tariff. : vj;.,,":: Mr. Blaine evidently belongs ’ to that class of philosophers who hold that the antecedent eVeftt must' be the cause 'of the following one. Of that class-were the good1 people of Terifierdon, who' maintained that the Tendcrden speeple was the cause of the Goodwin Sands—the building of the steeple caused the Winds and waives to bank .up the sands in the harbor. _ Now the facts are, that in every one of these eases the commercial revulsion- was caused by an inflated credit system and, a papercurrehcy, issued by the banks, which, after stimulating the widest speculation, were compeleted to suspend specie payments, and thus to bring ruin upon the people. But why did Mr. Blaine stop at the year 1801 ? Why did he not take in the greatest of all commercial revulsions—that of 18 73 ? Why did he not account for that financial catastrophe, when the war tariff was in full forpe, and the s«!»bs .yj- bttA^biyu uu lureigu imports was nearly 50 percet? A BRIEF REPLY TO THE RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. *■ Anent the Blair bill, the News and Cl&sei wjwill please note there is a mart, ed difference between the General Gov ernment's nctingjfor the States in divid ing the public domain among them foi school purposes and its taxing them or their daily consumptions of the neces sities of life for school purposes. Th« public domain is a natural endow ment, much of which has cost us noth ing. It will soon be exhausted. Its disposition by?the General Government does not encourage the existenoo of an inniquitious tariff, but the Blair bill does. One is an endowment that will soon be exhausted, the other sets a dan gerous precedent and opens the way foi more vicious assaults on the United States Treasury. Tho News ■ and Ob server'll a lawyer and can see the dif ference between giving away the publk domain for free schools and taxing thi people for them.

The Two Races Will Work out thi Question for Themselves if Let Alone. ifalfitnar* Sun. * ;; r '.j. ■ : Washington, Jan. 14.—Senato: Vance, of A’orth Carolina, has ven decided views on the-“raco question,’ and he will probably give them< b the country in bis" characteristh style before the- present Congies: terminates. He differs from Sena tors Hampton and Batter materially as to the best means of settling thi negro problem. He contends thu1 nothing Substantial can be accom plished in that direction by the leg relation' contained in the severa bills now pending in Congress. “I is not a question, says he “that car be’settlcd- by long speeches and complicated statutes, but it is one that must be left entirely to th< Southern people to work out in thcii own way and in their .own time Our Republican friends on the otliei side of the Senate chamber mnsl have confidence in us and Ire patienl with those men in the- Southern States who are honestly and hope fully working to bring about a bet ter condition of things. Those oi ns in the South who have beer brought in contact with the negre ever since we were Born are better able to work out .this problem than those gentlemen on the other side oi the chamber, who are actuated en tirety by political motives and the desire for personal notoriety. II they will let us alone and keep theii contaminating agents away from the colored people of the South the problem will work itself oat to the the satisfaction of all concerned. “It is this constant interference nn ftvp nnrf. rvF T'JYvrtliAm continued the Senator, “that causes most of the trouble among the col ored people of the South. Why, at this moment I harp in my desk let ters from colored men in my State asking me to see a certain Republi can Senator about- some'-money claimed to be due for political work done during the last campaign. It appears that these colored men were employed to do certaiu work for the Republican managers in the Iasi contest, and were promised; a mon ey consideration for the labor per formed. Times are hard and crops are not the best down my way, so these Republican workers who pul their shoulders to the Harrison wheel want me to help them get their,money! I. declare, said the Senator, smiling at the idea of pre senting the letter in question ti one of the ; richest ■ Republicans in the Senate, “I am almost too ten derhearted to dosuGh an uncharita ble piece of business. The question in my mind is which , will suffer tin most? The Senator, upon being brought face to face with such an unrighteous debt, or the poor darkies being kept out of their hard earned money.” ' ' - . The Senator does not believe ir the Morgan proposition to send the negro Back to Africa. ' Such s scheme will not, in his estimation be sanctioned by a majority of the white people of the Southern States He does not believe the negroes wan1 or demand equality, and thinks they are satisfied to more along in thei] own channels of . life until the Northern politicians fjll their minds with, the ideas of political-supremacy over the whites. “It might as wel be understood now,” adds Mr. Vance “that the white people of the South cannot and will nob,submit to any thing of that kind. It would block the wheels of progress in the South and would destroy that kind of feel ing that still exists, in so many places between the former mastei and the servant. A large majority of the colored|[people there are very well satisfied with their present loi and if they are let alone they wit work out their own salvation among the people who have actually dom more for them in the past than theii new and over-zealous political friend; at the North. If any of the North ern leaders are anxious to have one half of the negro population of the South transferred to the Northern and Western States the Southerr people will not complain, but wil continue to treat well those whore * main behind." Sectarian Religion in the Publl ■' .71 School. Tht JV. y, MmI Journal. 1 Florida newspaper* give, an ao count' of an address made by a Pres bytorian clergyman who made quit a fierce attack upon the publi 1 school sytem. He thought that hi denomination, Of course, should se ; that religion be taught in a ver ■ strict and earnest way, in the schools ■ Now all this seems very pluusibh i but there are Jtwo things to ha sai.] The first is that the way is sti! ; open for all Presbyterians who wis to carry on Presbyterian schools, t do sci all they have to do i3 to rais i the money and carry on the schools ' there is no law against it, no publi Opinion against it • On the contrr ry, the public is in favor of all sue , schools. Instead of denooncin , those who" are carrying on. schools i why not take part of this business ; out of their hands by erecting'suc , buildings as ane‘ necessary, and s< | coring teachers? This would seer to be the proper plan. ■ L .. But, Secondly, suppose the , this plan- should be carried oui ! suppose the government should giv ' Presbyterians a million of dollar to open schools. Then the Met'ho diets would want a million or twe and so on all -around, and we shoul have in every town twice' as man schools as would be needed. Tin : plan was m operation once in mos towns in the North; -each sect ha its own school, but it did not seen to work. The truth is a man ma; . be a very good Presbyterian and very poor teacher; he may be able t teach Presbyterianism well, bu mathematics, or language, or geog raphy most horribly. Then, in the third place, there i this difficulty—that after these vari ons denominations had their school in operation, there would be a larg number of people who would no want to be made into Presbyterians Catholics, or Episcopalians. Whi will educate these? Shall there hi schools for all sects and the one fo no sects? Take it in this city, fo example. Th/Catholies are spen ding a good deal of money*for par och ial schools; if alb other denomi nations would do the same thin; thereWould still be a large numbe of children unducated, because the; did not choose to be made into Cath olics or into any sect, whatever.

I December is the height of the -season, as it is a winter climate for persons living north of this, and a summer resort for Italians living sonth; an cl it is a very fashionable resort, as it is a high place, and the . alr,, bracing, whilst it: Js nfso ; mild. v Prices are high on account of its ' being such a fashionable place for Tb? Price of Monaco bought Monaco, a small portion of South France frorsome thing over four million of francs, so as to have gambling legalized. He and a few nch men own the bank of the Caai no here, which is said to have more than twenty million francs in it* niade from gambling. Monte Carlo is almost all there is of.Monaco; it is a very pretty place, and kept in elegant style. Of course, many pel sons go to the Casino to hear the i concerts, and never gamble at all . but gambling is a great pastime • with many, both ladies and gentle men. Hdo not approve of the prin i ciple pfogambhng, and would no! r risk money'on an uncCrtainity, but f have been a spectator; and it is curi ous to observe' tbedifference in the ’ playera; Some are so cautious, risk ing only a few dollars; others reck ’ less, risking thousands. I hear that | some persons live here in fine style by gambling; others loosing heavily have to leave here, and economize for years, to make np what they - lose in a few minutes. * 1 This is the paradise of gamblers. The gama is so arranged that fifty or more peraons can gamble at each - table, raid there are 8 fables. An 1 addition is also to be made to. the - Casino, ..so as to have more tables, ill very day, there is a fine concert, and every Thursdy a classic concert. ■ Persons from Nice, Cannes and Menton come every Thursday to i hoar the concert. Admission is free i but every one who is allowed fo en ter, must have a complimentary ticket of admission I showed my 1 passport to Russia, which was suffi 5 cient to gain me a ticket, or I • would not have been admitted, as 3 many*others were not. A lady I met here told hie that her father had lost two large. for tunes by gambling, and still hecon " tinues to play. Men take their wives and daughters with them and see thorn gamble with no more feel ing .than if they were at a theatre or. picture gallery; it is so common r here, and quite fashionable. Puh J lie sentiment, it syems can make 1 anything respectable. 5 I um stopping at the Hotel dfcs Colonies, and one geptleman at this ' hotel, brought eight thousand francs 9 with him, and lost it all in gamb 1 ling except one hundred francs. With that hundred, he gained the 1 eight, thousand back, and was so de 1 lighted that he sent the money ' home bv express, being afraid to 5 trust himself; but the day after, he j sent home for the money, the gamb • ling fever being on him again. I ‘ heard of another who committed suicide hero nfter losing heavily. 1 But as gambling has been made legal • here, and has continued 25 years, it ■ is tacontinue for 27 years more.' The Prince of-Wales is expected ‘ here' a little later in the winter, and they say he gambles very heavily. 9 He always has a box assigned him to hear the concerts, and is said to be • Very affable iii lii.s manners. .. t Latest uovciopment at the Tebe Saun , ders Mine. . ■ _ Tr»f ridetle. , Sheriff E. L. Saunders and' C. C. Wade, Ksq., were up to the ‘Saun ders Mine uaj before yesterday anti brought us news of quite -an excit ing nature in regard to develop, meets now being mude at this extra ordinary rich gold deposit, - These gentlemen met at the mine Senator j. 0. Spooner and Hon. H. F. Taylor, of Wisconsin, (the re cent purchasers of the property), Senator Geo. Hearst, of California, •I oo. A. Kirk, Esq., of Washington City, and several other capitalists of the North and West who, we pre sume, came down to see and know for themselves the truth os to-its re puted peat value'. Two blasts word made on . the clearly exposed Vein, located at the bottom and about the middle of the main shaft, which is not more than 30 feet deep, and from these two blasts we are told that not less than 1,2000 worth of pure gold nuggets were quickly gathered up; and th is does not include the gold that was ygt to be saparated from the/jiiart:/. ore thrown up by-the blasts, which ore sparkled more or less with- visi ble particles of the precious metal. Such a mine—a veritable bonan za indeed—as this has proved to bo naturally creates excitement} how ever, we believe our people have ahout’cool down, but those gentle men from the North West who were there Tuesday, were perfectly astounded,and Senator Hearst was heard to remark that ho had seen the rich mines of California, but this was the richest gold deposit’ he had ever seen. This magnificent prospect will probably be the. means of selling a great deal of the mineral lands in this and Randolph countiesi espe cially on the TJwharrie range, dur iug the present year, and will likely lead to other rich discoveries. A Moment of Suspense. When Senator Butler delivered his speech on deporting the negroes to Africa, there came near being a sensation. ... _ Senator Hoar said: “The trouble is that they (the people of the South}feel that they’must murder or marry the negro. . Why cannot a negro gentleman—a graduate of Amherst, for example—occupy, as a number of such do in New En gland, positions of honor and. trust in a Southern city?” . The Washington Post says: Senator Hoar seemed on the verge of precipitating a sensation when, following his phrase about murdering or marrying .the negro, as given above, he began to chal lenge the Southern - denial of the “negro gentlemen’s” right to settle in stations of trust and honor. Hor rifying as the bare thought is, the juxtaposition of the two ideas made it momentarily appear that the Senator from Massachusetts was about to condone the crime of mis cegenation, and was with a pro. nonneed relief that the galleries at tended the conclusion to another point of his slowly delivered senten ces. “PERSISTENT REBEL ROWDIES.” A correspondent writes this kind( of a communication to the New York Tri bune: ~ “To the editor of the Tribune : Hit:—Pardon my-bricf intrusion, for I must thank ’-ou'fdr your admirable sarcasm on the “Southern Code” in the Joiner outrage. jit is about time the North and all decent sections spoke out in thunder tones to those persistent rebel rowdies. D. II. Giiase, Middletown, Conn., J an. 8 18701.” That is what the above correspondent calls the people of North Carolina— “liebe.1 Kowdies” and that through a paper that pretends to represent decent sentiment in the North. If there Is much of such sentiment up there now nearly a quarter of a century after the surrender at Appoinatox, there is-some likelihood to be sure that the children of the Confederate soldiers m^y be called upon to “frail the ciiildren oi the Federal soldiers back into the Union.” We can do it with more de cision and with1 more excuse for fight ing than they manifested when they "frailed” our fathers back. In the en tire history of this country there can not be found greater rebels against peace, harmony and good order, than such papers and such correspondents, &o. fiver since Lee surrendered, these fellows have been in open rebellion against their country. i)o they want to destroy it? We copy from- the Charlotte Chron icle:. _ .1 “Hebei rowdies,” * “persistent rebel rowdies,” is a nice way to designate the people of a State. It is this kind of sentiment publicly expressed through the leading journals of the‘North, that has made us thiuk, for some time, tliat the. North has not yet accepted the abi trament of the late war. The people of that section are no more mindful of the rights of tins section than they were when their outrageous conduct threw the country into a live years* war. • - Wilt it be necessary to declare mar tial law in. the North; to make those people submit to the results of the war? Must they be dosed with “reconstruc tion” and “carpet baggism” before they will submit to tlie Constitution and the principles of the Union? . - -- - -- It looks that way..' .
