- Tax Greensboro Patriot calls our
attention to the faet that Governor
Bcalee while a member of Congress
- secured the passage of the bill in
the noose for the erection of a pub-
pa building in Greensboro. In re
ply to a statement in the North
State that Senator Ransom had
done- so little for North Carolina
we cited this as an illustration of bis
, work without intending to deprive
Got. Scales of hiar share of the
honor. - We have known several
Instances In which Senator Ransom
' would have appropriations for our
rivers and harbors increased after
they had nassed the House. His
promptness and success in such
matters is a complete answer to the
North State's charge that he has
done nothing tor North Carolina.
, Txs : Greensboro North State
-speaks of the farmers' convnetion
at Greensboro as blowing rather
too much tor Cleveland and the
democratic party. It characterizes
the resolutions of the convention on
..: the homestead law as a democratic
measure. Ia this.it is badly mis
taken. The democratic politicians,
when they assemble together are,
in some respects, like the republi
can . politicians. Both try to show
that they represent distinctively
" the poor man's party, and will de
daze for the homestead law. But
the farmers, who know the practi-
' eal workings of the law, see no real
good In It for the poor man so long
aa a Chattel mortgage can take
even the tin caps and gourds out
of hie kitchen as well as the bread
fcom . his children's mouths, snd
they want it repealed. The pro
ceedings of the convention appear
to.vus to be above partisan in
fluence, and if their views are more
. ia accord with the principles of the
democratic party, why the republi
can party must change theirs or
array themselves against the far
mers.' "It would tickle the North
8tate very much if the democratic
politicians would get together and
.declare against the homestead law,
'bat they are a little bit to shrewd
lor that; they do not propose to allow

FARMERS OX THE
STEAD LAW.
The Farmers' Association in con
vention assembled in Greensboro
on the 11th of January adopted the
following resolutions offered by
H. E.Norris of Wake:
Whereas, The Farmer' Association
of North Carolina now in session at
Greensboro, N. C, recognizing that one
of t!i greatest grievance and draw
back! to the farmers of North Carolina
ia what is known aa the mortgage and
orop lien system, which is the child and
offspring of the present homestead law,
and said Association desiring to take
oca action as may bring about a repeal
of tho lame.
Raeolved, That ihe Legislature of
ISSS-'Stt for the State of North Carolina
la requested to pass a bill submitting
to the seopl of North Carolina the
question aa to whether or not the Con
stitution of North Carolina shall be
amended so aa to repeal said homestead
and exemption laws.
Besot ved. That a oopy of these reso
lutions be sent by the Secretary of this
Association to the Speaker or the Bouse
of Representative and President of the
Be oate with request to. present the same
to the respective bodies as soon a said
cession of the Legislature is regularly
organized.
Col. Polk offered a resolution de
claring in favor of such modifica
tion of said homestead law as shall
ultimately do away with the lien
and mortgage system. Both were
reierred to the committee on home
steads, liens and mortgages, who
reported back in favor ot that of
fered by Col. Polk ; bat after a long
discrtssion, participated in by our
friends J. F. Nobles of Jorfes coun
ty,' and W. H. Worth of Lenoir,
both good, practical farmers, the
original resolutions offered by Mr.
Norris were adopted.
The resolution offered by Col.
Polk was unquestionably more prac
tical and would have stood a better
Chance of having a hearing before
the General Assembly, and an
amendment to the Constitution
based upon the idea embraced in
his resolution, would be more apt
to be adopted by the people.
The Dresent homestead law is a
farce and a curse to the people
whom it is intended to protect.
It has brought about the crop lien
and mortgage system of credit, and
the very poor helpless women and
children it was intended to protect
against improvident and extrava
gant husbands and fathers, nre the
sufferers. It pretends to give as a
homestead one thousand dollars
worth of real estate and five hun
dred dollars worth of personal
property, yet in the face of this
beneficent (!) provision oLthe Con
stitution we have heard ot poor
men's cabins being cleaned of every
thing, even the bed clothing, stools,
tin cups and gourds, nnder a fore
closure 61 mortgage. A proper
modification of the law would pre
vent .Ibis and do away with the
mortgage system. Let a small
amount of household and kitchen
furniture and provisions, a cow or
two, say three hundred dollars
worth in all, be exempt from sale
under execution under any circvm
ttanctf, and the mortgage system,
which seems to be the acknowl
edged source ot the farmers'
troubles, will be at once wiped out
and the poor women and children,
who are so unfortunate as to be
under the care of a trifling man,
will at least be able to save their
clothing and furniture from the
Shylocks in the land.
This is a bold move on the part
of the farmers. Many politicians
and newspapers refrain from agi
tating the subject for fear of "hurt
ing their party." But the Farmers'
Association of North Carolina seems
to be ot the opinion that if the
interest of party is to be placed in
the scales against their interest the
party will have to go.
Important section of this great
country and all the vituperations,
lies and deviltry of the South
haters will not keep her down.
These manifestations of diotrust
of Southern people always break
oat on the eve of a presidential
canvass, the aspirants for the re
publican nomination seeming to
think that the man who can make
the bitterest attacks and parade
the most lies against the South is
sure of the nomination. They for
get that this is a rostored Union,
and seek to cover up the short com
ings of their party by appealing to
the passions and prejudices oi their
constituents by misrepresenting
the people of South who are
striving to build up their waste
places and make stronger the bonds
of union between the States.
It is a mean, selfish, devilish
spirit that tries to destroy the
peace between neighbors and
friends the different sections oi
this country are but neighborhoods
on a larger scale and we are glad
to note a decline in the success of
those who are engaged in such
dirty work.

to you colored friends, yon may all
seek all your lives that much

you will find and hear that it is yet
a little way ahead. Settle down in

THE COSFIRMATI03 OK LAMAR.
The confirmation of Mr. Lamar
as an associate justice of the Su
preme Court, io the face of the
strong opposition of Sherman, Ed
munds, Evarts, and other republi
can leaders indicates that the rights
of Southern men are slowly but
surely being recognized by the
great masses of the Northern peo
pie. Hatred towards the South
and mistrust ot Southern men is
still ths'capital upon which political
demagogues and hypocrits do busi
ness. No true patriot will endeavor
to keep alive the strife that cost the
country so much blood and treus
nre. The South accepted the re
sults of the war in good faith near
a quarter of a century ago: it is an
Capital Punishment.
The different uses to which elec
tricty is applied are innumerable
very uay we read of some new
appliance that will be of value in
the scientific world. The latest
proposition is made by a number
of eminent gentlemen, who are
noted for their humane acts, to
abolish the present mode of capital
punishment, and use electricity for
putting criminals to death. The
say that the old system is inhuman
and barbarous, and that in a Chris
tian age such as this it should not
be used. Death by electricity is
quick, and without suffering. Eleo
tricityis used lor punishing crimi
nals in Paris, and the investiea
tions made by these gentlemen have
been so satisfactory that they in
tend to make a report to the govern
ment and recommend its adoption
in this country. Such a method of
capital punishment, if the death
penalty is to be enforced at all,
would be preferable to the one now
in use, for many reasons. It vould
be less expensive, for one thing,
there would be very little suffering,
and the old barbarous method
would be relegated to obscurity.
Demorest's Monthly.
How Fatigue Operates.
After n study of some years.
Professor Mosso, of Turin, finds
that when fatigue is carried beyond
the moderate stage, at which it is
decidedly beneficial, it subjects the
blood to a decomposing process
through the infiltration into it ol
substances which 'act as poisons,
and which, when injected into the
circulation of healthy animals, in-
duce uneasiness and'all the signs of
excessive exhaustion. V hen with
in the resisting pewer of the sub
ject, fatigue has its pleasures and
even joys, these betng the expres
sion ot the oreanio consciousness
that bodily loss of tissue is being
balanced by reconstruction. Mosso's
experiments were performed on
Italian soldiers, and they proved,
among the other results, that the
stature and power of the modern
warrior are fully equal to those of
the' ancient Roman. Arkansaw

The advantage of this process is
that the finer is maintained in a

Gentleman is a term which does
not apply to any atation, but to the
mind aud the leeliug iu every
statiun. The mau ot rank who de
ports himselt with dignity and
candor; the tradesman who dis
charges the duties of life with
honor aud integrity, are alike en
titled to it; nay, the humnlest
artisan, who fulfills the obligations
cast upon him with virtue and with
houor. is more eutitled to the name
of gentlem.au than the mau who
could iudulge in offensive aud
r'bald remarks, however high hi j

"I do," naid the Englishman
"JNo name on tbe inat lull name

Then those Germans subsided,
and said they bad always consider-
