Mr. President : The subject of the debt and finances of the State unfolds such a wide field of inquiry that analy sis is scarcely practicable in an im promptu discussion. It is sufficient, however, for my present purpose ;to know that the total amount of the prin cipal and interest of the public debt is in round numbers thirty-four millions of dollars; and that our finances gen erally are in a very deranged condition. Add to this the aggravate indebtedness of our cities, towns and counties, and we are forced to contemplate a specta cle of figures, at once vast and appall ing. Contrast this burden of debt with our resources or our present ability to pay, and. we will discover that the total valuation of the real and personal prop erty of the State is only one hundred and twenty millions of dollars. This fairly exhibits the debt and c redit side Ol trie account, aim ijum-s " , if this debt were reduced one-fourth in I J1?' amount by compromise or otherwise, visit every town and county) in tne State and bring ; back your answer. Attend to but one item if you please, in the catalogue and inquire how many school houses and teachers are needed ? How much of education are our chil dren receiving. These are considera tions which we as a people cannot ig nore, if we would keep pace with the spirit and civilization of the age. For these reasons I say the people) are not able to pav anything now by way of interest on the public debt and hence, too, thVaiarc unwilling to pay; Repu diation lTnb part of my scheme but " sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Iet us once more have peace within our border. Let us cease driv in" our sons from our midst by a sys tem of ltfjlitical oppression. Let us in earnest and with good feeling invite capital and immigration hither and before the next decade will have rolled around. North Carolina will stand pearlers among the sisterhood ofStates, and instead of being worth only one iiundrvd-und twenty-one millions of dollar, sdu? will have increased her wealth to live hundred millions of dol- and I feel confident, that being nuu- to ikiv. she will, be most willing believe that every dollar will b found in its piace ; mania snaira wm ue shuh u to have been conducted with integrity and capacity, and that the result will be great honor to Secretary Boutwell and Grant's administration. "Ve believe in any legislation that will throw light. President Grant's Administration cannot be too thorough ly .investigated, and we mistake him very much If he will not join hands with any and every member who desires to open to the sunshine the darkest recess in hi3 departments. . It will be seen that Mr. Boutwell has, to some extent, anticipated this motion ; and that in looking over the accounts of Gen.

It is true reduced sum and to defray the necessa- j 'retI1 the reduced sum and to defray sary expenses of our State and county governments, and to provide for the education of our children, it would ?till amount to a great burden upon the people in their present depi-st d con dition. The first question which pre sents itself to us as legislator-, th'(en eral Assembly being the repoitory of the whole taxing power of il. govern ment, is, whether article tiv-, .-vtion four of the Constitution is a mandatory ' provision upon us. If it be .-, it must be admitted there is no ocai-, ai;'l it becomes the duty of this General ; A.-, . sembly. before its adjournment to r vide by taxation for the payment of the interest on the public debt. For the putposcs of this argument we may admit that the clause is im,erative, but the question still remains. Unm whom devolves the primary duty of performing this mandate and of bear ing this burden? And to whom is it addressed ? I answer that as a burden, it is addressed to the whole people; ami the power to tax is distinctly granted to the General Assembly, and when ever the people are in a position to bear the burden, it will be the duty of the Legislature to take the initiative. Tax ation differs from ordinary legislative subjects, it acts directly uion our con stituent"?, and therefore it must always be understood to be exercised subject to the influence of these -constituents, and their relation to us as representa tives, in determining the question whether such taxation now would Ik? promotive of the public good. The leople have sjokeh; they have a right to instruct their representatives, anil it is our duty tooley. But this provis ion, in mv opinion, is directory only to the Legislature. It prescribes a mode of procedure a regulation simply a remedy if you please, which may be exercised or not by the Ixgislature ac cording to its own views of policy and humanity. This discretionary right is necessary to the existence and well teing of every community. The first Legislature convened under the pn ent Constitution, as well as every stil- sequent one, have given to tins -pro-j vision a practical construction, lhey have considered this section as directo ry, and the Courts and the people have acquiesced in the construction, and I have no desire to unsettle their decir-ion. It is maintained however, that previ ous Legislatures have lecn direikt in their duty in this resieet, and hence the question is asked how can we escape the obligations of our oaths, as Sena tors, as representatives, as voters. For all these arc required to take an oath to support the Constitution. I appre hend, that the oaths to support the Constitution has no practical bearing whatever on this subject, and I have reason to susjoet that thoo who urged in argument that the obligation to levy the tax was imperative used it rather as a party slogan in the recent canvass to frighten tax-payers, than otherwise. The obligation which we have taken. and which every official and elector 1 A .1 4. II... I are requireu 10 kiki; in supjsoii ine Constitution is Jn tended as a political test. It is a qualification which fits him to take a part in the administra tion of the government which he swears to support as against enemies, domestic or foreign. It is an oath of allegiance; of loyalttyj of adherence to the govern ment. It is true, it also enjoins the performance of duty as required by that instrument, but it is a iiolitical duty, and it should always 1? exercised in accordance with reason and natural justice, and the dictates of honor, grati tude and charity. It is assumed, Mr. President, that our, obligation to pay existed long before the adoption of the Constitution, and Article 5, Section 1, of that instrument , has y no means given it additional force of sanction. tientlemen seem to think that the pres ent Constitution organized the begin ning of our social and K)Iitical exist ence; that with it, for the first time, began our public and private rights; that it is the sole fountain of justice and of honor, and that with it began civil ized government and civil and political liberty. All these commendations are fully appreciated by us who bore a part In projecting so inestimable a move ment of political wisdom, but candor nevertheless constrains us to admit that society, law, onler, intelligence, politi cal and civil liberty did exist in North Carolina before the adoption of the present Constitution. It is true1 our civil and political liberties were not so enlarged, so universal, so comprehen- reditor has rights which we are bound to resnect. and his debt I shall never question, but all I can do and say in his behalf now is let him take the State's interest in our public works. " Only this, and nothing more," for taxation is a burden too grievous to bo borne until wo shall have waxed fatter and grow more pro-perous. J IkiiHarhs of Senator King, In the .St note, I h e. VMh, 1871, on the bill proposing Amendments to the Con sfilutionof the Stale, j Mr. King said : I approve of many r." the proposed amendments to thet Constitution of the State included in tiie bill now before the Senate; it will be een, bv referring to the Journals of the Constitutional Convention of 18G8, th:it 1 then opposed a number of the sv-ciioiis now proposed to be stricken out or changed. I Mr. President, I will now briefly state the sections that 1 am willing to voteto strikeout or change, viz : Strike out all that portion pledging the State to the payment of the public debt of the State. i I consider anv clause in relation to the payment of the State debt unnec essary therefore opposed in the Con vention all sections pledging the State lo the pavment of any debt. I am in tavor of striking out the sec tion creating the Superintendent of Public Works, as I consider the office of no use hatever, and entirely. un necessary. I I would strike out the Corporate powers of Township-, thereby divest ing Townships of r ' power to tax.' I would strike vtit that clause requir ing the Censu- be taken by the State, as I believe aig the Censusj by State lo houn u!.:. . vessarv ex nensej 1 would change the meeting of the General Assemblv from annual, -to bi ennial sessions; as once in two years is sufficiently often for the to meet. ) I would limit the mileage) ana per clicm of members of the General As semblv, to three dollars per diem, and ten cents ner mile. lclieving a provis ion of this kind would be a saving of tiiiu and monev. by limiting the nlem bers in fixing their own per diem. I would however accept the proposition in the bill now under consideration, limiting the nav of members of the General Assembly to three hundred dol lar, for a term of two years. ! I would cliangc that portion Senalor Sumner and flic Colored ' People. ie see that Senator Sumner ha3 in troduced and is pressing his supplemen tary civil rights bill. The interest which the distinguished Senator takes the welfare of the colored race in is Legislature five as now, but still they existed m some form among the sehvt few. That much abused section, in my opinion, U a very harmless piece of phraseology, and should never be used again to in timidate tax-payers. As legislators, we cannot be lound by any narrow or technical rule, for the general good of the people is a consideration which en ters into every question of taxation, and is in vol veil in the maintenance of good government. This consideration must necessarily underlie every written Con stitution as a principle of "natural justice and equity, otherwise government sim ply becomes a means whereby to ac complish Its final destruction. Every State is bound to pursue that system of measures that is bvt adapted to the in terests of its ieople. There are cer tain expenditures which are absolutely necessary to the continued existence of the government, and there are jiara mount obligations that must be first aiscnargeti. ecu i repeat mat it is cliangc mat portion oi me Constitution relating to the! Asylum and charitable institutions of the State, viz: that all persons having hufiicient property, therefore able, shall defray thvir own expenses if admitted to the institutions while the indigent poor and such as have not sufficient means to pay their exenses, shall be admitted to these institutions and enjoy the ben efits thereof at the expense of the State; as I consider it but iust and right, for those who have, property, by (using it for their own benefit, to assist in caring for those less fortunate. j Mr. President, these are about all the amendments which I consider nec essary, or prefer. j I am opposed to the proposed change of the name contemplated in! the bill now under consideration from Town ship to Vrecinet if the name Township is changed. I would much prefer it changed to District this was the old name years ago, and all tax lists were heretofore made out by Districts. I, however, consider the name of Town ship preferable to I'rccinct, but do not rare so much about a change of name, provided the power of taxing is annull ed. I . ' . 1 am opposed to that portion of the proposed amendments which allow the General Assembly to restore) the old County Court system those Courts be fore the war werea very heavy expense to the tax-payers of the counties, and I will venture to predict that if those Courts are restored, the County expen ses for Court costs and other -expenses will be two or three times what it is at present, which is already heavy enough upon the tax-payers. ) I believe it was recommended to the Legislature before the War, by a Whig and a Democratic Governor to either change or abolish the Countyj Courts. I am opposed to establishing any more Courts, the more Courts, the more ex pense on the Counties. I am satisfied, beyond a doubt, by practical observation, that competent County Commissioners, elected by the eople, will manage the county; finances much better, and with less expense, than the entire number of magistrates heretofore composing the County Courts ; for a few competent men can. letter manage the finances county than a large number unsuited to the busi ness. I therefore hope that proposition will be passed, allowing the c?tabliximent of any greater number of courts, and that the present judicial system will not 1k ! changed. Tin: Pr.oPEii Way. We olserve an interesting dispatch furnished (by The. Herald from Washington to the effect that the resolution of Mr. Lynch, in structing the Committee of Public Ex penditures to examine the accounts in the Treasury, is intended by that gen tleman to be a menace to Mr. Blaine for putting him on an indifferent commit tee; that he intends to give this corn- most disinterested and praiseworthy. But it seems to us that he might render them a greater service by using his mighty influence to 'secure an appro priation of lands to aid in their educa tion. The following remarks from TJie Washington Chronicle seem to us to take the right view of the subject : If Mr. Sumner would visit the Southern States the loyal, whites and the colored peopbr would bo glad to see him. They would turn out by thou sands to welcome him. The Ku Klux would not hurt him. Members of Con gress are in no danger from these as sassins. If they could whip or murder the gentleman from Massachusetts, and. have it understood and known, beyond all question, that they had no hand in it, and were not responsible for it, they would take great pleasure in doing so. Humble citizens are scourged and done to death by hundreds, but they are only insignificant American citizens. No States are placed in rebellion on that account. But if a member of Congress should be scourged or murdered, or even one Federal officer assassinated, the controlling Ku Klux leaders in those States would look for the most calamitous consequences. All murders are regularly decreed in the Dens. The leaders are informed of these decrees. They can reverse them if they choose. The Senator would, therefore, be in no danger. Standing before 10,000 colored voters, as he would at some points in his journey, if he should ask them what they chiefly desired, they would say, in-a voice of thunder: "Sir, we are thankful for our freedom. We are poor. We have no lands. Of all these broad acres that we cleared and opened to the sun we have not even a burying ground, unless we work and pay for it. The nation has hundreds of millions of acres of land. It has given these lands without stint to new States and to cor porations. We can support ourselves, but we cannot educate our children. We had hoped the Bureau would be continued, and would educate them all, but it has been taken away. We want all the rights the white man has, and we are grateful to you for your ef forts in our behalf. Yet not one in a hundred of us ever rides on cars or stage coaches, or stops at hotels. We want something substantial for the whole of our race. Our State, which has been reconstructed, is as much a new State as was Michigan or Minne sota. They got public lands in large quantities for educational purposes. But for us this State could not have been reconstructed on a loyal basis. We are poorer than the early settlers of Michigan and Minnesota. Give us some land for educational purposes. Protect us in our right to vote, and keep the Ku Klux from our houses at night. Do this, sir, and we will be satisfied. e leel that you are our friend. We know you are. We respect and love you for your services and suf ferings in the cause of freedom. But, when we ask you for (b read do not give us a stone." Such would be the lan guage of the colored masses to the Sen ator, if he would visit the South and address them. "The Indian is cared for. The sav age, who scalps infants and buries his tomahawk in the heads of defenseless women, is humanely treated. Wise and good Christian men are sent among the savages with the vain hope of Chris tianizing them. Millions are expended upon them. They are pets of the na tion. . Providence cast these people out before the white man as much as He cast out the Canaanitcs before Israel. But Providence brought the Africans here. They are Christians. They are docile, unwarlike, faithful. They are the friends of the white people. Their patient toil for ages has heaped up un counted wealth lor this nation. Their loyalty has restored whole States to the American Union. If the elders among them are intelligent, and are good vo ters and citizens, they owe it, not to schools, but to what they saw and heard of the white people while in sla- very. Their children are growing up in ignorance. Tliey must be educated. The nation owes this to them. It is a sacred debt and it must be paid. It is all very well, we repeat, this thing about the cars, and the stage coaches, and the hotels, but the colored people demand more than that. They have nearly one one million votes in this country. They are are a power in this land. When they got liberty they get their " rights, but not justice. They want justice that, the means to edu cate their children. Will the nation hearken to them? Will the distin guished Senator irom Massachusetts turn his attention in this direction? Let him effect this work for the col ored race, and he win a place in his tory higher and more brilliant than any destined to be occupied by any of his eotemporaries. A whole nice of Christian people will rise up and call him blessed. The good news will be wafted to Africa, for many thus edu cated will carry the Gospel to that con tinent. Let him thus link himself with two continents, and deliver his name, after he is gone, to be embalm ed in the memories of all the friends of freedom the wide world over until the end of time. f From the Charlotte Observer, Methodist Episcopal Conference.

The American Washer Saves Money, Time, and I Drudgery The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and Clean Clothing, Sure. : In calling public attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other washing ma chine yet invented,) are here enumerated. I It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thoroughly com prehend and effectually use it. There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use! It is a perfect little wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly. One half of. the labor'is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one-half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly ! In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM ! It can be fastened to any tub and taken off at will. No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against AVashing Machines, the moment this little machine is seen to per form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once become the fast friends of the machine. ! We have testimonials without end, setting forth its numerous advantages over all oth ers, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which hav e signally failed to, accomplish the ob ectpromised in prominent and loud sound ing advertisements. ' It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount inducement to purchasers, has been placed so low: that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of do mestic v economy that will repay the small investment so soon. ' $5.50. ! All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly. Sole Agents for the United States, i A. II.
