Without knowing, quite a number
of our people ask why it is that
Concord never has any opera troops
topping here, or that no traveling
companies, sucn as minstrtie, etc.,
give Concord a stop. It is for the
reason that the tuxes are eo higb
that the audience nsually obtained
here will not justify or even piy for
their stopping here. The lax for
each night's performance is $23
$10 for both the connty and State,
besides a tax ot $3 to the town.
Otherwise than pay this a license
must bs taken out amounting tc

Senator Pritcbard ht.s introduced

The parpow cf Senoior IVitchard'e

of the United B'utes duiing tho lato
Civil war and who have been honor
ably discharged thertfrcni, provided
that it shall upply to those who
served in the first, s. coud, third,
fourth, fifth and s:x:h regiments of
the United States volunteer infantry,
who had a prior eiryice in the Con.
federate service, who did nrt enlist
in the Union service prior to De.
cember 1, 1861. Tbe bili has been
referred to the Senate committee on
pensions
If the bill of Senator Pii chard is
enaoted into law it is e stimatea that
it will place thousands of Dames of
citizens of North Oaroliua on tae
pension rolls who are not under the
law as it now stands entitled to pen
sions.
This is a deliberate attempt to
pens'on men who deserted from the
Confederal a; my long enough be
fore tbe surrender at appamattox to
allow them time to serve 90 days in
the Union army, and to our mimd is
monstrous beyond expression, and if
it becomes a law it will nflct upon
tbe whole people, North as well bs
South. Nothing could be more
distasteful to a true Southerner than
to think himself axed to pay a pen
sion to a man that deserted bis eauee I
in the hour of its di feat and turned
bis gun on h a owu people and his
own home, and no Wortnern man,
having a prop;r conception as to
what, constitutes manhood, to sai
nothing of patrioti-in, could ever be
