Lti.-tt week we referred to the speech of Senator Morganrrad at Oriflin, (ia Extracts are presented this wet-k. Tlieyare interesting in that th.y carry the amo ctiticisms and (Mimlemuatiou- of national policy that have been tna'le by Populists tor the last four years. Coming uow from a Democrat ot prominence, they serve to emphasize the truth of WM&t i the Populists have said. The criticisms and condemnations apply with equal force to both the Itepub licau and Democratic parties, for, let it be remembered, the Democrats have been given the power to cor net the evils complained of, and they pointedly refused to do it. What a great pity it is that some people still think the Democrats will do it! A very strong portion of the Hpi-t ch was a quotation from ex-At-turnuy-Ueneral Oarland a member of Cleveland's first cabinet as fol lows: "I it fair to degrade, demone tize silver, and then complain that it is of little value! This, with all due respect to everybody, is border ing on the 'vulgar legerdemain of sophistry.' It is taking advantage of one's own wrong. It is a com plaint that one cannot see, after him self stirring up a dust. It ih the logic the wolf uses against the lamb. It is to allege the source of the stream has been befouled and poisoned by its mouth the effect is put before the cause, and indeed 'it is to vindi cate oppression by pointing to the deprivation which oppression has produced Tnis mode of argument lacks that element without which no human speech or conduct is of value or entitled to one moment's respect fairness. This absent, and a the words are meaningless and empty And the cause driven to this )kind of assertion must, in the nature of of things, be helpless, whatever of intellect or high patriotic purposes may come to its support. The friends of silver need not dread or fear such weapons, they can meet them suc cessfully, I am confident, on all parts or me grounu, ana iney snouiu , put on their armour and gird them- u . . 1 t It selves for the struggle until it is com- plted to a finish. i "And now and here, just as soon; as possible, this controversy should be settled no more evasion no more straddling no more postpon ing. The country and the business of the country, regardless of per sonal or party ambition or ouccess, want it settled and they are entitled to have it settled as quickly as can be. Let business and the laws know and understand each other, and ad just themselves accordingly, for not till then will the country be prosper ous and at ease again. "We of the United States, of all the people on the earth, by this time ought to know, and I think we do know, the great unwisdom of tampering with and dodging ques tions vital to the country. This de layed, much more, and sickness, prostration, paralysis and death are near at hand. And much will, I venture te say, depend upon the ac tion of this convention; and with a ueatt full of wishes for its complete luccess, it will, I hope, come man fully and squarely to the work and announce its views in no uncertain terms." OUR SUPPOSED PROSPERITY seems to be chiefly based on borrow ed money. The $160,000,000 bor rowed on our bonds will not last long when the current deficit in the treasury is $1,000,000 daily. The silver section of the Suerman aetof 1890 was repealed July 14, 1803. The restoration of confluence was withheld until the spring of 1S9", when it began to bud. Two eotton crops and two wheat crops and millions of our silver had been bough i. at London prices the lowest on record. We had become so de pressed with the vast abundance of our crops that the great majority of Democrats in the house voted for a general law of bankruptcy. It came to the senate, and we insisted that if the banks would unlock their vaults And make money easy, there would b no need of a bankrupt law. We preferred to put a silver key into the b;inds of the-people that would unlock tbe banks if they still refused to show their confidence in the laboring people, and held their money for the tramblers in bonds nd stocks and food. A TUB TO THE WHALE. The banks saw the handwriting on the well, and it was interpreted to them by the attitude of the sen te and in many great conventions of the people, like this grand de nionstration: they opened up their discount desks and money became asier. This was delayed, however, until our last crops of wheat and eotton had trone into the ownership of the speculators, who made more than '2 cents a pound profit on our cotton, and more than M cents bushel on wheat. The restoration of confidence through the repeal of the silver clause in the Sherman law had Proved to be a dream of disappoint mnt, and the certificates issued un der it were converted into gold obli gation by the fatal option 01 the secretary of the treas "ry: lhese alone required IICO.OOO.OOO of gold coin for their redemption. They were gathered "P and presented for redemption onag were issued in a year and half to the amount of $160,000,000 to balance the equation, and this is the real offspring, the Je gitimate fruit of amending the Sherman law, under the pretense of repealing the "cowardly makeshift." If cause and effect have anv locr, icai relation, tbe tinkering with the J - Wl onerman law and the refusal of the tlm government to furnish the people with means to enable them to delay the sale of crops at gold prices was the real cause of the issue at $100. 000,000 of bonds. I do not take any pride in the travels of $30,000,000 of these bonds to London, in the keeping of our as sistant secretary of the treasury to be signed there and delivered to the Rothschilds, and I see no profit in stlling them at 104J when they were worth 120; but I charge no evil in tent upon any one for making this child's bargain. Its absurdity is a strong plea for its innocence. TUB RIGHT TO COIN MONEY. This is the essential value of that reserved light, and it could only be' an act of gross tyranny to abridge the right or to destroy it- The same rights are duo the owners of silver bullion as they are to the owners of gold bullion as "rights reserved to the people" under the constitution. What did our fathers do with this inherited right Did they destroy it, or did they preserve it! The an swer is, that owing to its impor tance it was protected and enforced by special provisions in that instru ment, as was the case, also, of the writ of habeas corpus, the right, of trial by jury and the right of free worship and other rights. The special provision so made was the mandatory power given to congress to coin money and regu late the value thereof. At that time GOLD AND SILVER COINS were both included in the meaning of the word money and the power to coin money was not intended to re fuse coinage to either gold or silver, but to preserve this great riht of the people as it then existed. The constitution destroyed none of the rights that were comprised in the liberties of the Britons. But, as I have already pointed out, the vital element of the coins consists in their compulsory legal tender pover. This is expressly preserved in the constitution in this language, found in article 1, section 10. ".No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in pay ment of debts." Here the coins of gold and silver that congress is em powered to make under article 1, section S, are described as legal tender money. If congress, therefore, provides for the coinage of any legal tender money it cannot coin silver to the exclusion of gold, or gold to the ex clusion of diver WITHOUT VIOLATING A PLAIN INJUNC TION of the constitution. I do not deny I that congress can do such a thing, but i do say that it as well re f- to provide, bv law. for the is sue of writs or habeas corpus or for trial by jury. And for the same reason, the re fusal of free coinage to the hold ers of gold, while givinerit to the holders of silver, would be an abuse of power that can find no justifica tion. In providing a supply of legal tender money for the people of this free republic, it was the intention , of the founders of the government that it should not be limited to one metal, but should include the free coinage of both metals. This is the claim I set up to the privileges of the constitution in fa vor of the people, which embodied and enforced in our first coinage law, approved by George Washing ton, in 1792. I am not willing to surrender it on the command of John Sherman or even of Grover Cleveland. money's only power. The only actual power money has is the power to pay a debt. A contract is complete when the parties express their assent to its terms. If it is a contract to pay money, the amount of legal tender money will pay it, that is stated in the agreement, and the debtor can compel the creditor to accept it. If he refuses, the court will ascertain the amount that is due him, in dollars and will satisfy the judgment, so that he can take the money so tendered, or go away empty, as he may choose. Ho greater liberty, and none more just exists, than the right ot the debtor to compel thecrediter to take egal tender payment of any debt, emand or obligation he is bound to discharge. in all civilized, free countries, where personal liberty is at all val ued, the laws protect the debtor rom the natural rapacity of the creditor. Tbe divine law takes up this sub ject and makes respect for this pro tection a personal duty or relision.

Chapel Hill is one of the prettiest places in Xorth Carolina. It is not only pretty but it is one of the most interesting and instructive. The summer law school is in prog res,aml ft Jarge class of young men are here taking the course under Dr. Man ning and Judge Shepherd. These two scholarly and accomplished lawyers are making it the finest law school in the south. If the students who are here now do not rise rapidly in their profession it will be their own fault. The kind of instruction and training given here would make a good lawyer out of any man who had fair ability and industry. THE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHEKS. The summer school for teachers, which has been in session here since June 25th and which adjourned to-day, has been a great success. This sum mer school is something that has long been needed in our State. It is not like the Teachers' Assembly or the old summer normal school, and it is even much better than county insti- tutes under the old system. It has not been a frolic, but it has been gen- uinely earnest, and every teacher will go back next fall to his or her post to teach the boys and girls of our State better equipped Tor their important work. A teacher who does not meet with other teachers, and not only ex change ideas with other teachers, but also does advanced work and eret'in- creased information each year soon I becomes unfit to teach. Every man in every profession either goes forward or goes backward. There is no such thing as standing still in this world. The establishment of this University summer school is very timely and means a great deal for the teachers and the whole public school system of our State. It was started last year and had seventy-live teachers in at tendance. This year the number is doubled, and next year it will be doubled again, for every teacher goes away delighted. When the teachers of the State learn what a least is here in store for them every summer there will be over 500 hundred public school teachers here every year. Too much can not be said in com- mendation of E. A. Alderman Professor ot the Pedagogical depart- ment of the State University, and Dr. I wlnetnn th nhi 9n.i PnerireVio Presi- dent for'starting and conducting this annual gathering. This summer school, which is a uni- versity extension, has not only a Ped- agogical, but also an Academic de- nartment in which advanced studies may be persued. Thirty-one courses of study have been taught this sum mer by a very competent corps of nineteen instructors. These included not only some of the Professors of the State University, but also such men as Prof. Xoble, Superintendent of the public schools of Charlotte, and Prof. llAivfttl Qnnartnt.onHont nf rlip Til l 111 l" n schoolsof Raleigh.

The fol 'owing letter will explain itself: !.. . .. . . .. .,. r iTITTEVILLE, A. t..., JUIJ ZttlU IW Eiitok Caucasian : I noticed some weeks since that the News and Observer said that "Black- stone had been eliminated from the law course of study." Will you please let me know if this is so, and if it is so what has been put in its place and what books must I get? I am think ing of commencing the study of law soon. Yours very truly, The statement published by the News and Observer wa so mislead ing and created such an erroDeoua impression that we have decided to answer the above 1-tter in the col umns of The Caucasian, The simple fact ia, tbe Supreme, couitbaa not "eliminated" Black stone from the law course, but it expressly requires Ewell's Edition of Blackstone to be studied. No State iivr law t-chool as far as we know re quires Blackstone's Commentaries just as he published it to be studied, but they all require some noted law yer's edition of Blackstone to be studied, borne States prescribe Chit ty's edition, some Sharwood's edition, some Ewell's edition etc Ewell's edition of Blackstone (which has been adopted by our Supreme court) con tain a all the essential points of the original text and so much of the history of the laws as is necessary to give the student an intelligent tin derstanding of the evolution and growth o our present system of 9 . , r J jurisprudence. it is not only very convenient tor the student, but also for the Profes sor of law, who is of course expected to supplement it (as they do m teach ing any other edition) by lectures connecting the old law with the new, and illustrating its principles by leading cas -s decided by the Supreme court or this State and other juris dictions. If we remember correctly the News and Observer, in its article, re ferred to the Statute quia Ernptores and Statute de donis (3rd and 2nd Westminster) as "immaterial timber" and iaid that they were no longer considered in the study of the law. This is entirely wrong. In the first plt.ee these two statutes are very important to every student who wants to know the science of the law.

But to the case of which we spoke. In a certain county of N. C, (referring to Cabarrus) at the last election a mau was lawfully elected county treasuer. He was re- uired, but not according to law, to give twice as large a bond as his pre decessor who was of the other party. upon the face of this was written in unmistakable letters the spiteful purpose of defrauding him of the office given him by the people. But to their surprise he gave this enor mous bond. Then they began to de vise means to ROB HIM OF THE OFFICE. A law enacted some eighteen years ago was used as a pretext for abol ishing the oflice. forthwith the magistrates abolished the office to take effect immediately an oflice that they refused to abolish so long as their party filled it, Had they abolished it to take effect at the next regular election, there would have been no room for a charge of injust ice. 1 hen it might have been the result of honest conviction, of hon est principle. But even NO SHADOW OF EXCUSE was left them, for the cause of the action was assigned, "that special man must be downed.1' He was not of their political faith. He had oatvoted them. He would not do ust as they demanded. He had dared to vote for a colored man in a colored ward as school commissioner over a colored graded school. He had voted this vote that was dam nable. 1 fear 9 out of every 10 of these partisan Christians will DESPISE AND ABANDON HEAVEN because, forsooth, God has adjudged some of the negro race worthy to en ter its courts.
