Si'iNbrA Co., PoriUuiv!.'. a."i. Senator Vance's Remarks on the Freedmans Bank Bill. Mr. Vance: Mr. President, I should like to inquire of the author, of the bill what distisguishes this from any other banking institution of the country? If pay the de positors of this institution for the losses that they have incurred by the failure of the institution, why should we not pay all other depos itors of all other banking institu tions chartered under the author ity of the United States? I ceufess sir, that I can see no reason for it, and before I vote upon the bill, disposing of over a million dollars of money to make good the defalcations of some dis honest men connected with this institution, I should be glad to have a reason given nie for a vote in its favor. Mr. Sherman: When this sub ject was discussed the other day by the Senate there were quite- a number of gentlemen on that side of the Chamber and ou this side who gave reasons why the bill should pass, although it would not be a good rule for us to pay all depositors of broken national banks. Mr. Vance: I was not present when the discussion was had in the Senate. I was not aware that one had taken place. The peculiar circumstances seem to be that the colored peo ple were the wards of the nation. I suppose, and that they were led to believe that this was a govern ment institution managed ' by government officers, and that the faith of the government was pledg ed to make good their deposits, and to see that they were properly treated, etc. , - '.-- The kindest and best thing that can be done with the colored race in this country is to teach them to depend upon themselves. The ward business began at a very early period. It is time that they should either be the wards of the nation. or that they should be in dependent freemen, learning to lepend upon themselves and not to depend upon the government- one or the other. As wards it is assumed that these persons were so ignorant that teey did not know the risk they were running when they do posited their money in a charter ed institution,that they believed, in their trusting and implicit igno rance, that they were to be taken care of by the faith of the nation, and that everything that had the government of the United States attached to it means a solemn guaranty to them of their rights an d pri v il i ges a n d property, &c. That has nil gone by, sir, and at the same time that we are now asked, in consideration of their ig no rau t condition, their condition of inchoate citizenship, to make good all the losses incurred in this bank, they were as freemen thought to be wise enough and statesmanlike enough, freemen enough to entrust with the des tiny of whole States in this coun try, to take charge of the laws,the property, the rights, liberties and the civilization of my State for one j and for many others, and 7 were placed over the heads of the white people in those govern ts. If they were able and sufficiently enlight ened to take charge of the, desti nies ofafree, civilized Commou wealth, surely they were able to deposit their money in a banking institution and to take the risks there like any one else. To hold them as wards wherev er a defalcation of a bank is to be made good, and to hold them as en lightened aud civilized freemen wherever a political purpose is to be maintained by giving them full charge of a whole State and its destinies, Fthiuk is entirely in consistent. When this bill was introduced it contained a general provision to make good all the depositors who had tiot teen satisfied by the as sets of the bank. It turned out that quite a number of those de positors were white people. Now, the bill is amended so as to strike then! out, and , we are absolutely to make a distinction in violation of the constitution of the United State, which says that no distinc tion shall be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. We are to pay the colored man all that he was rob bea of by the officers of this bank, and the White man is to look out for himself and gets nothing be cause he should have known bet ter. Sir, the whole business is wrong. These colored people must learn to distinguish in their business risks just as the white people have learned to distinguish. CPhey must learn the great truth that every man who calls himself a philanthropist and friend of the colord mf p is not necessarily so, and that the louder in fact he talks . philanthropy and love of them the, more likely he is to steal what they intrust ; to him. They have that lesson to learn. If one is to be paid I am in favor of pay ing the otherThere is no justice in any other course. What is the Issue? The Louisville Courier Journal says pointedly, and the people want Democratic and Eepublican facts put pointedly these days, that by "crying free trade, the Re publicans hoped to create a stam pede, and, as in 18S0, carry the election in a panic. But as the Courier Journal says: ' Instead,, tjiey find that the pur poses ofTheJJeinoeratic party are embodied in carefully drawn bill, a bill which Democrats are able and willing to defend; a bill such as Grant and Garfield and Arthur urged Congress to pass, and which can be understood even by men little informed concerning public affairs. "The Republicans have no bill, but they have a platform, drawn to antagonize the Democratic measure on every issue. 'That platform discards the idea of taxation for revenue, and demands a rate as will destroy revenue and check imports. "On these issuesythus preseted, the Democrats have opened their canvass. The Mills bill is discuss ed, explained aud dissected, and the orators show at what points and to what extent it is repugnant to the Republican platform. "The Democrats favor a tariff averaging 40 per cent. "The Republicans demand pro hibitory duties. "The Democrats ask forfree im portations of uecessaries of life, in order to limit the powers of trusts. "The Democrats put wool ou the free list in order to encourage an export trade in woolen manu factures. "The Republicans denounce free raw materials. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from diseases of the throat and lungs than any other. It is prob able that everyone, without ex ception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the sj'stem, and where these germs lall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling seusa tion in the throat, and if allowed to continue their ravages they ex lend to the lungs, producing con sumption, and to the head, caus ing cattarrh. Now all this is dan gerous and if allowed to proceed will iu time cause death. At the outset you must act with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go with out attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtoin a bottle of Boschee's Ger man Syrup. It will give you im- ! mediate relief. The Records in Brief. From the Chailotte Chronicle. The history of the State nnder the conduct of the two parties should be compared by every vo ter in the State before he makes up bis mind about the ticket for which he resolves to cast his vote. We can concieve of no safer nor wiser way of reaching a righteous conclusion. Look at the State un der Democratic supremacy. It was never so prosperous as it Is to day. Its energies are multipli ed, its public school system has been gaining in efficiency every year, is one oi its lunas nave been diverted to other purposes and squandered. Over $650,000 are paid annually for the educa tion of' white and colored chil dren of the State. Asylums ade quate in capacity and wiely adapted to the wants of the af flicted of all races and conditions of the people have been built and furnished. Legislators are not paid $7 a day, but $4 a day. The General Assembly of the State no longer sits three hundred days to draw 87 per diem, but is restric ted to sixty days. The judicary of the State bas been lifted from disrepute and disrespect into the highest confidence of all classes of our people. A large part of the three thousand miles: of railway in the State have been built un der its regnancy. Its debt has been adjusted aud its credit re stored and established. Taxation has been reduced and the well known and fraudulent special tax beyond legislation has been dis disposed of. Such is a dird's eye view of what has been done in North Carolina since 1876 under the administration of the Demo cratic party. Compare this glorious record with that of the control of the State by the Republican party prior to 1876, when under the leadership of the peerless Vance the State was redeemed. It has done nothing iu the way of edu eating the thousands of illiteraie children of the State. It did ab solutely nothing in the way of in ternal improvements. It wasted the school fund of the State. Its fraudulent special Tax Bond leg islation is yet abhorred and all the more for the fact that the Vice-presidential candidate of the Republican party, Banker Morton, of New York, trying to enforce its payment notwithstanding its fraudulent character. The larger portion of the State was outraged by the corrupt enforcement of the detestable revenue laws by the most offensive and corrupt army of officials that ever preyed upon the vitals and subverted the per sonal and property rights of a free people. The counties of the East were bankrupted or driven to the verge of bankruptcy, or greatly demoralized by negro domination. A disruptable and corrupt and incompetent judicary was elected, and law came to be disregarded and trampled in the dust. These facts cannot be for gotten. We have not spaee to dwell longer upon the frightful scene. Let our readers look upon the two pictures and compare them, and then; make their minds "as sober headed and honest hearted" freemen about which party should have posession of the government of the State. , In the Democratic party has shown by its record that it has done most for every interest of the State 'than the Republican party vote for its continuance in power If the Republican did more than the Democratic party has done, then place ehe govern ment in its hands. Flour, bacon, lard, chewing and j smoking tobacco, cigars, crackers, sardines, paper and envelopes,&c, ; a specialty at Mcintosh's. v The Chief Justice's Oath of Office. A Washington dispatch says: Chief Justjce Fuller has made in quiry as the precedents about taking the oath of office,atid finds that he can suit his own pleasure, provided, of course, he talicathe oath before be enters upon hi$ du ties. The Justices of Jthe Unttfd States are required to take two oaths. One is the regular oath of loyalty to the Constitution, whieli is required of all officials who hold a Federal commission. The sec ond is the judicial oath, in this form: "I solemnly swear that I will administer justice without re spect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfullv and im- partially perform all of the duties incumbent on me as Justice of the United States, according to the best of my abilities and under standing. So help me God." It is the practice to take this second oath in the Supreme Court room immediately before assuming the duties of the office; but this oath may be administered by any Fed eral officer qualified to administer oaths. The first oath, that of feal ty to the Constitution of the Uni ted States, is generally adminis tered by the senior Associate Jus tice in the robing room. The oath. of the Chief J us t ice differs slightly . in phraseology from that of the Associate Justices. The latter swear as "Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United Stttes;" the Chief Justice omits the reference to the Supreme Court aud qualifies as "the Chief Justice of the United States." The im pression that a person appointed Justice of the Supreme Court must take the oath of office before he actually becomes a Justice, or can receive pay, is erroneous. The ap pointee is Justice of the Supreme Court from the time of the date of his commission. The treasury de partment is notified by the State department of the issuance of the commission, and the salary begins from that moment. A Freight Conductor Killed. From the Charlotte Chronicle. Mr. L. Smith, a freight conduc tor on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road, died at Black stock's Thursday from injuries re ceived the day before by being knocked from a freight train by a covered bridge. The accident oc curred near Chester. : JJr. Smith, was picked up in an insensible condition, and it was found that his skull was very badly fractur ed. He was taken to Blackstock's, where every attention was paid him, but it was seen from the first that his injnries were fatal. Mr. Smith was twenty -eight years old and a native of Greenvilie, S. C. He had been in the employ of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta road for some time, and had only two days ago been promoted to the position of freight conductor. He was an excellent young man, and his sad death is greatly re gretted by all. W. O. B. Robinson, the Repub lican candidate for Congress from the Goldsboro district, introduced Mr. Walker, the prohibition can didate for Governor, in most com plimeutary ternrs at his speaking in Golasboro last week. This is another evidence of the partner ship of the two parties. Univeetity of North Caro lina. Tne next session begins Aug. 30. Tuition reduced to $30 a half year. Poor students may give notes.
