Now ,SIr, it has been shown that the proposition to take the money from the treasury for any purpose whatever, except fr the purpose for which it was collected is in violation of the Consti tution of the State, which will appear by referring to article 5th section 8 of the Constitution which reads as follows viz : every act of the General Assem bly levying a tax, shall state the spe cial object to which it is to be applied and it shall be applied to no other pur pose. Now, sir, thi bill proposes to take from.the Public Treasury the tax mon ey collected for a special purpose un der the Revenue law of 1871 and loan it out for a different purpose, In viola tion of a plain provision of the Con stitution of the State, Mr. President, I will say in conclu sion, that I hope the bill under consid eration will not pass, and that no more taxes will be imposed upon the people of the State on account of railroads or other corporations also, that no taxes will be imposed for any purpose what ever, except such as are absolutely nec essary to support the State goverment economically; administered, and that the taxes imposed and collected forthis purpose will be disbursed with the strictest economy.

It will be the happiest bisk of -Congress and-the government hence forth to legislate for the prosperity of the Southern States, for the develop ment of her resources, for the encour agement of her honest efforts to educate and elevate her people. If the South ern press and Southern Legislatures will but co-operate with the genuine feeling of the North which is wholly fraternal in its spirit the coming five years will be years of growth and progrpss and prosperity throughout the entire South ern country, such as it never realized even in the palmiest days of its "Old Dominion Mav God sored the time when our nanon snail oe a umi iuultu for the welfare of all her citizens. . . 111 !.!, 1 O then shall the heart of the Peoplean ocean or rivers commingling, eatu spirit a i ' Iloll on in one choral, harmonic devotion, The throne of tho Father to lave : One Heaven, one Hope as one Grave A Patent "Misrepresentation.

That no other candidate would be accepted by tho press which supports him we em phatically deny. Threats of this kind are the peculiar tactics of the opposition to Grant, ana oi ; uie oppu&muu .vmy. There may be doubts as to whether The v,f,vi Th Chicano Tribune. The Cin- ;t; chmmrmiaL or The Aeto lork Evening Post would support Grant if he were re-nominated for the Presidency by the Republican National Conven tion; but there is not a suspicion that The New York Times, The Boston Ad vertiser and Journal, The Cincinnati anit ThCh icaao Even ina Post, and a thousand Other warm supporters of Grant, would not give in tneir cneenui adhesion to the nomination of Trum . bull, of Logan, of Summer, or of any other tried and true Republican who should receive the nomination of the Convention. The same is true of the statesmen Identified with Grant and those who oppose him. If any predic tions are expressed regarding the prom inent men who may possibly bolt the Republican nomination, the names in volved are those of Schurz, of Summer, or of Greeley. Those of Curtis, of Conk ling, of Morton, of Howe, of Harlan, of Vilson, or of Colfax are never thought of in any such connection. The disor ganizes and bolters are peculiarly the opponents of Grant. So obvious a mis representation, coming from Tlie Na tion, is significant of the tactics even of, the best of his opponents and traducers. Chicago Evening Post. l , Snowballing I tub Duke. The Grand Duke Alexis was snowballed in St. Louis by the gamins as he was on his way to the Merchants' Exchange. One ball knocked off his hat. One of the St. Louis officials explained that snow was very, rare in that region of the country, when it did come the pop ulace went nearly wild with delight. The street boys on these rare occasions were permitted by the police to do as they pleased ; hence the accident to your hat. your Highness."

Just now there is a lull in the .sharp: conflict going forward in Louisiana1 beV tween the State party and the Admini' istration party. The smoke has blowii aside somewhat, and the position" of the combatants may be better discerned than heretofore. We cannot say if they both sides are alert enough, and netyherW the astute Warmoth nor the cunning5 Carter is likely to be surprised byithe next move which will be made. Until some steps are taken to complete the organization of the Legislature by g-iv-j; ing the Senate a quorum, nothing prac-;! AX 1 1 -1 I - A 1 L 4..V Awi iicai can ue uone oy eiuier puny iv iiji, a hold upon the State Government. IFor this is the aim of the Custom-bOasq men and the State, or Warmoth, party as well. The attempted capture of the) Legislature was the apparent beginning of the strife, though the antagonistic elements had impinged upon each other before the opening of the session The arrest of Gov. Warmoth, Lieut-j Gov. Pinchback; eighteen Represepta tives and four Senators, by proice&i from the United States Court, wa an exact imitation of the tactics which; thd anti-Warmoth or Administration meit had charged was intended by the very; men thus arrested, only it was thocght that rival writs from State and National a f i A a: Courts would oe in tne otaie iiouse ai the same time.

Thpv want toifret rid of Gov. Warmoth and the Republic can majority in the! Legislature.) If they can secure the passage of articles: of impeachment, Warmoth is suspebd-j ed forthwith to await trial ; and, asithe legislature session is limited to sixty; days, it is easy to see how a hostilej majority could go home and leave the hated Governor practically dangling in the air. So, when the Geverpor, and his friends were arrested by thef Administration party! and thus tm-; porarily hustled out of the way, jthe; minority left behind were able to get the House into possession, and, with out a legal quorum, they unseated jsix of the absent members and filled their plaoes with Democrats who would Thp Kfn nti. mofln- while, was held in abeyance, eleven ofl th Ailmlnistmtion members havinsr' taken their rejoicing way on board he! revenue cuiier which iaa luruisiicuj iw-, tho onnsniratnrs hv fk)llector Casev.i ThP nnwprful arm of the Federal Gov ernment was thus thrown around the a fugitive Senators who defied the laws until the Administration atf Washin ton, roused at last by the outcry which went up from the country, commanded Casey to discharge the I fugacious Sena tors ; these sneaked ashore, and then ffed across the river into Mississippi, where they now are. But when Gov.

This action checkmated the Carterites, or Adminstration men, and they with drew to a bar-room, where they ate holding extraordinary j sessions of the Legislature with one branch, amusing themselves by passing harmless, un necessary resolutions against fraud, vipj lence, corruption and conspiracy. U There has been an infinite variety pf writs, attachments, and counter attach ments flying about meanwhile, but the whole campaign has been essentially just what we have thus briefly sketch ear The Administration party have no ex cuse whatever for their high-handect and revolutionary course; they charged' Conspiracy on Warmoth and his friendsy and procured their arrest for proposing to do exactly what they did themselves nnncinim m train rjossession of the Legislature.

"The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Departed this life,' in Montgomery Coun ty, N. C, on the 2d day of October, 1871, Unis M., daughter of P, C. and Martha J. Rileyi in the 14th year of her age, leaving a large circle of relativesahd friends to mourn their loss. But they do not mourn as those who mourn without hope," she- giving satis factory evidence of her acceptance' "With God through Jesus Christ ; exhorting her friends around her" bedside ! to prepare to meet her in Heaven ; giving to her pious father and mother all assurances that their loss would be her eternal gain ; often ex claiming but a few hours before she died, " 0 1 how long before I shall see my-Jesus, and reign with him aboye." Many die as sudden, but few as safe. She was a young lady of exemplary piety. Du tiful to her parents, as a student, obedient to her teacher, and loving and affectionate to her class mates. J Blessed are those who die in the Lord they cease from their labors, and their works- do follow them. ; j State papers please copy, "We Know. 44 What's in a name ?" j B ut little, we do confess, and names are useless, save to de signate and distinguish different objects; therefore, as we seek anj existence among things material, we shall call our paper WE KNOW, speaking first for our humble self, and secondly, for the sovereign people, who do know, that this fruitful land of ours is be ing sowa with the seeds of thistles and weeds, by mushroom politicians, nation savers, nation haters,' society destroyers, religion haters, and political newspapers, whose sole and only aim is, as .We Know, and -will readily prove, for pelf, pelf! MONEY ; aye, that's their main spring, and clowns they are, for the pay they re ceive. I Everything seems to have been unhing ed; the Oil of Mirth seems to have con gealed, and cankered, and Every Body, including the Children, wear a morose, sour, vinegar visage, and it is our purpose to apply an antidote for this moral curse under which we groan, by causing a smile, where wrinkled care now dwells, and roars of laughter, in the place of growlings. Every one will 44 bless our souls," as they are made happy. The aged and the young, will read our paper, and put it down with the wish, that it were oftener published and an hundred times double its size. And why? Because its every line will carry joy and pleasure fx the readers soul, and peace and happiness to the fire sides of our people one and all 44 without regard to color, or previous condition " that is to say, we shall be so very clever, so full of the milk of human kindness, that tho whole human race may suck the teat, and find nothing offensive, but grow kind hearted, good-natured, and live down to a happy and honorable old age. We Know, will not forget, that in cor recting the morals in some instances, the sharp and keen knife of sarcasm must of necessity be brought into use. - There are horrible exceressences on the body, moral, here and there, and they must come off; the knife and chloroform will be used; but, then, the operation once performed, and we have a smooth path, which we will keep hedged by the evergreens of wit and humor, and the sweet roses of peace and pleasure. To this end, we have the servi ces, secured, of the best men in the State- writers of every talent the wit, the hum orest, and the more solid advisers.i Our patron, (and we , beg pardon of the vener able originator j who now ' lives in our midst,) shall be the 44 Giraffe" of 1850-'51; if we reach that standard, we teel that we shall please the public, and go swimming, to the highest pinacle of prosperity. To promise more, would be superfluous, to promise less, would not entitle us to the patronage of our people. -To perform what we do promise will bo our aim, and we shall labor to 44 do it all." Fellow-Citizens, our platform is before . . i 1 1 t mW you ; will you stana on is, ana oe nappy r or will you keep off, and remain m i serablo ? That's the question. We Know will be published Weekly, on new type, and beautiful paper, at $2 per annum, and $ 1 for six months, in advance ; and will be illustrated with pictures of such a character as our subjects may suggest.
