It is able, and to the point, and as one of th9 Senator's constituents, we thank him for this eloquent review of the whole matter. The bonds are now 'at a ruinous dis count, and Col.

As might have beeucxpoetcd, the Supreme Court has refused t pronounce a decision on the , qnes--lipn of the length of time lor . which the present Legislature was elected, and recently submitted to ' it.- It was 1 clear dodsre of res ponsibility on the part .of the two branches of the Legislature, and we think the Supreme Court did tight in refusing, to decide a ease . to irregularly and illegally brought before it. The fact is, the case .is too plain for argument. -The Con stitntion is pereinptor6n the sub ject, and if the present Legislature determines to hold over, it will be as complete a revolution as the : Dorrite movement at Hhode Is land Should the 'tvyb Houses - refuse to adjourn "sie die", the ' ; Sheriffs of the respective counties will be compelled to hold elections next August, and then the Supreme who are the lawful representatives of theeople under the Congtitii tion, in other words, w hether the old or new members lawfully com pose the true Legislature. .

The New York Sun tells a- sad and romantic incident ofthe career of the benefactor whose death two hemispheres are moulding: A number of years ago, when Mr. Peabody was just entering upon his , career of success as a business man, J in Baltimore, he met by chance, in the streets, a poor girl, who was but a child, but whose pleasant face and gentle manner attracted his notice--Questioning her as to her parentage and surroundings, he. found her in every way.worthy of his regard, and a fit subject for his benefaction. He at once adopted her as his ward; and gave her an education. As she ad vanced in age, her charms of person as well as brightness of intellect won ttie affections of . her benefactor.. Through this relationship he had km ple opportunity of watching her pro gress, and day by day her hold upon his affections grew stronger. . At length, as the ward bloamed into-wo-manhood, though much her senior in yeai'S, Mr. Peabody offered, her his hand and fortune. Gratefully appre- . dating his generousity, and acknow leging her attachment for him as al most a father, she with great feeling confessed that honor compelled her to decline the acceptance of; this his greatest act of generosity,, informing lie; suitor that her affections had been 'given to another, a clerk in the em ploy of her benefactor. Though disappointed ami grevionn- ;ly shocked, the philanthroiiist sent for his clerk, and learning from him that the engagement had been of long daxation, Mr. Peabody at once estab lished hi3 successful rival in business, and soon after gave his benediction upon the marriage of his ward. This, -it i said, was the iirst blow his heart received, and it is possible that from thi episode came the inspiration that made the future 01 Mr. Peabrwly so . universally distinguished, and' has rendered his name so famous as the friend of his raee. .

Sir, they proclaim that North Carolina will ever regard, as inviolable, the debts she has hereto fore contracted, and that she will meet these obligations to the last Cent! . This, Sir; is the substance of these resolutions, . and jif they merui anvthinir. thev mean tliat this Lems- latm e will notfonly hold as vchd and constitutional all the bonds that have been issued by ounTreaiu'ter, but also that this Legislature will proceed .at once, to lay txes, sufficient fi meet the interest n those bonds. Now, the question of the constitution ality 'of these bonds 1xhss long since iaWd into a niirelv fudicial one, an this mighty host of" bonds which thi Legwlature,"at its last; session, mu. tered into existence, has alrcady com menced passing in review before- the ?lii-f judi'eial'rtribtiaal of the ;Stat4 and by the judgment of that tribu nal they must .stand or fall. But, Sir, when we regard them as a pledge oil the iari of this General Ansenibly U levy- taxes sufficient ' to meet the interest on our entire indebtness, I think it would be well , ft r this body, td pause, and ascertiuii, if 'possibly what resources it hasjat its c(jniman((l wherewith to fulfill these ot'L repeated pledges.

Are they' prepared to say now that they, will do it? j If riot, let them not vote for these reso lutions, for as I said before, as this Legislature cannot bind a future one by its resolutions,' the resolutions un der consideration, if they mean any thing, mean that this Legislature will levy such a tax. But sir, it is by no means improbable that it fwill actually require three per cent upon all the taxable property in the State to pay the interest on the debt, the ordinary expenses of the government and county expenses. 1 think sir, that it will, require that amount. The interest on 3-1,000,000,. the amount of our debt as given by Gov. nouien, is 53,11 iu.uuu, tne' oruiuary expenses of the Governiaeut $G0U 000 to which if : we add .200,000 a year for three years for the comple tion of ' the -Penitentiary aiid-jthe funds necessary to defray - the i ex penses of our charitable insti Luti risj it will swell. .the ' aggregate v to three millions of dollars l'rr State purposes alone. Now if we estimate the taxa ble property of the State at $200,000, 000 we see that it will require one asid a half per "cent- of ; taxation ita defray the State expenses aloriCj and as the counties will require fully j as mucli more for county purposes, wo have a burden of th ree per cent upon all the taxable property, of the' State. But sir it is bv no , means certain that the i)ro7ertv of the State 01 - an eiaases will amount -1 11 r 1 subject to taxation, t. $200,000,000, and in proportion as .. its, amount is diminisliedi in the same ; prbpbr tioh is. the per 'cent; increased, j ko thatit iiiay require even 'more than one and one half per cent for State 'purposes. Now Mr. -"-President" the problemi, what amount of taxation can our industrial interests bear? I do not believe they can bear three per cent, I do riot believe they. cn live under such a burden. . Sh; I have not examined the statis-iics, but I' hazard the asriertion that. North Carolina has never douhk-d her capi tal in any thirty three years of her existence. Then sir as a matter! of course the-nett profit on her capital and labor has been les jthau : three per cent Here then sir we have a btirthen of taxation that eohsumes the entire nett profit of her capital .'"-111! T .T i 1 ' 11 ana laoor. - is uoi- 11113 lact appau ing? But is it not more appalling when we come to reflect that two rmilions 01 tnis -money is to be an nually carried - beyond the limit's ; of the State to pay the interests on our bonds in v all Street. So. long Sir, as the money raised by taxation is dual interests may be' destroyed, arid productive labor paralyzed, ! I but when a State is not only paying grie vous taxes, out is paying them by way of tribute to a foreign State, her condition is , in jLhe, last degree lamentable "and she is' m- the condi tion of a Roman proyince. or of poor, unfortunate Ireland, .the chief of whose woeii it is that her non-resi dent landlords -carry beyond j her borjer3 pjofit of her labof. , ! Sir, iw. o.a.u. u ALx i the Senator from Craven has stated that he bases his hope of paving j our indebtedness upon the prospective prosperity, of the State, in the next thirty years.. I wish, sir, that I could participate in hid bright j an ticipations, but the prosperity' of a State, burdened as ottrs is, would be m my opmioii, but little less than a miracle; the very difficulties I have enumerated must inevitably' retard her progi'ess.- But the Senator; re minds me that the State of Illinois has paid taxes nearly equal to those now necessary tor .North Carolina I say in reply to him, Mr. President, that he cannot estimate the ability of North 'Carolina to bear taxation by referring to those young States ; that double and 'quadruple their capital within the space of a very few. years,' .where lands; are - appreciating with marvelous rapidity, and into which labor and capital are ever .pouring ;iu an unbroken streaui. Such ,a State has a buoyancy 'which ' nothing, can repress, while a State crippled as om-s'is has but a spark .of her former vitality and a spark which must be carefully nursed 'or it will be forever extinguished. . Bat i Mr. President, I have not refered to the sta"xation j ne cessary! for raising the smkmgJtandJ which is required by the Consttunir n to be levied,, neither have I referred to the tribute which we pay annually to the General .Government, and' vet x trust i, nave said I enougn to cuiv. viuee Senators, that this question", of oiuv u nances is one not rightly to be considered; and there are' difficulties connected wi t hit which it would be well 'to settle before we tickle ' t lie eais of our creditor , with more rene wals of; our promise to . pay. T; do not desire nor advocate' repudiation, Mr. President (and I trust in Goti; that wo may be able to meet 'durob ligations to the, last fartfuug, but . if we cannot meet these then, let them be as few as possible, let U3' not un necessarily multiply them,: and let us' not add to the humiliation pf bank ruptcy, the baseness of 1 having wil fully or recklessly! held put these renewed hop?s to : the world, hopes which may be reailized but which may prove fallacious. 4 Let us- address oiii'sel ves, Mr. Pres ident, to I the task of - solving this financial-problem, aud when we liave done! so, let us frankly announce the result to the world.
