Easter.
On Easter day,: in primitiTe i times,
Christiana saluted each other, with the
Easter Kisa,vand thecxelamation '&ur

was rere turrcxit, He is risen indeed.
The festival of Easter, which com
memorates the-resurrection of: Jesus
Christ, deriTes iti. name from the festi
val of thegoddess ; Ostara, in Anglo
Saxon, Eastre,: which the Saxons of old
were wont to celebrate" about the same
season at which the Christian , festival
of Easter occurs.-: ; When these Saxons,

Z'c izg of the supernatural;-, ; '
Until the ' Council of Nice, mA, D.
Z2j, there was difference of opinion
3 ta ichen not as to why, Easter
L; .11 be celebrated. , The council de
ci . i tLat the ' great feast should ' be
cl served upon one and the same day.
It-j canon fixed the day " as 'the first
an day after the full moon.whicb, hap
pens fipon or next after the 21st day of
Ilarch, the vernal equinox. If the
fall moon happens upon a Sunday, the
festival is to be- observed the Sunday
after. - - - - - i
' Easter is "therefore a movable feast,
but the event which it commemorates
is a fixed fact in history. "It is also a
fundamental fact of CJhrbtianlty. For
ta who denies the literal resurrection
cf tie human' body , of Jesus Christ
thouli, to be logically consistent de
ny the verity of the Christian religion.
The Apostles "based "their appeals to
Jews and Gentiles to 1 become, Chris
tians upon this fact. They were plain
men, accustomed - to observe '-. facts,
though slow : to apprehend .'. doctrines!
They speak as : sober-minded witnesses
testifying to what they: knewJ' :
Their evidence' cannot be rejected
on ihcground that they were deeeived
by seeing only a vision. A vision is
not handled, nor does it eat or work a
miracle. ; The alternative is to believe
their testimony, or to reject it as the
filiehocd f wilful --; imposters. That
supposition is demolished by. the char
acter of the Apostles, by their ; zeal,
their success and their fate. . 'T c
They were honest - men whom the
death of their leader had disheartened
and scattered. iThey did not expect to
see II im again on earth, ; Their cause
was lost, so they thought, -when they
saw their dead Lord buried; --
Eat their senses forced them,; in spite
of their despair and skepticism, to con
fess that they saw . Jesus in His own
body. " The sight gathered them again
ia one band, and filkd them with en
thusiasm fit the "lost cause: -" , ;
They' went everywhere testifying
that Christ had risen from the -dead,
and that they bad seen him. : In ' all
places and at all , times they witnessed
to this fact. In prisons and in ' courts,
before the people who: derided them as
f inatiesr and before - the rulers '- who
cursed them as fools, they asserted that
they knew their blessed Lord had risen
from the dead. " ' ' r
They sealed their testimony ' with1
their blood,' and the fact they, pro
claimed . revolutionized ' the world.
Trere they martyrs to' a lie? Did a
falsehood - change the history . of the
world? Ts the Christian church, the
most practical and powerful benevolent
institution earth has ever possessed,
founded upon an imposture ?s : .
In all the trustworthy facts of histo
ry, there is not one more certain than
the fact that Jesus jof Naaareth rose
from the dead with ; the same body
which was. laid in the tomb of Joseph

Barring Bill.' s-
. The House of Representatives has
under consideration a bill to enable
national bankinar associations to extend
their corporate existence, and its dis
cussion in Congress brings out varied
and various ; views on this' much per
plexed subject - "f
On the 3rd of June 1864 was passed
the. law "limiting the tenure of the
banks to twenty years and it is a mat
ter of contention whether i. this twenty
years runs from the passage of the act
or from the organization of the banks,
although the . better opinion is that it
commences ' : from the organization of
the banks and - that, even if Congress
fails to pass the bill, the banks can sur
render thour present charters and take
out new ones .'which will run at least
twenty ryeara longer.
The question of National Banks has
always been bone of contention in
National V- politics and from Andrew
Jackson's bank veto down to the pres
ent time the policy of the democratic
party has opposed everything of the
kind, although the - necessity of the
country in the civil .war, which gave
.rise to onr present system, has changed ,
and" divlted Democratic opposition. '
".In 1791 Congress; acting under the
Constitution," created the first paper
money after the adoption of the Consti
tution; and this national banking law
expired Feb. ". 25th 181 1 , just twenty
years after its date. C ' ' '
The second banking act was passed
April 10 1816, and in 1832 an act was
passed re-chartering this, bank but the
measure was defeated by the veto of
President Jaekson.
. Again, in 1841, a. law was passed
establishing a United States bank with
a capital of fifty , millions, but it was
vetoed by President Tyler All these
banks were individual institutions, and
not intended to extend to all the States,
although branch banks were establish
ed in some of them.
The acts of 1863 and 1864 were the
rst attempts to create a perpetual bank
ing system which - should be National
in its extent; and the system has rami
fied our entire country, until now
there are ' over two thousands of these
banks in the land,, with a circulation
unlimited bylaw, up to the amount of
the national debt.
-. There is no. doubt of the fact that
the national banking system is a great
improvement on ante helium methods,
for its notes are good in any State of
the Union; and the opposition to the
system eomes from those desiring the
issue of legal tender - noteB or green
backs in place of ' national bank notes.
It is urged against the banks that
they w.ll : oppose the payment' " of the
national debt,"' for as their circulation
is based upon the bonds of the Govern
ment it necessarily i follows , that the
payment of those bonds is a death blow,
to the banks.,. This idea of a national
bankingsystem founded upon a perpet
ual debt is not in accord with American
institutions. il; 7 ' :. '' , .' V ;: 7

That the United States can successful

notes; that the volume of these legal

7 Jefferson, in a letter to John W. Epps,
of September llv 1813, (volume 6, page
199, t Jefferson's Works,) speaking , of
State banks, said; t 1
- Bank paper must be suppressed and
the circulating medium t be restored to
the"nation to ' whom it : belongs. It Is
the only fund on which they oan rely
for loans; it is the only resource which
can never fail them, and it is an abun
dant one for every necessary purpose. ' "
Benjamin Franklin says: . :
' On the whole, no method has hitherto
been found to establish a medium of
trade equal in all its advantages to bills
of credit made a legal tender. Paper
money, well founded, has great advant
ages over gold and silver,-' "being light
and convenient for handling in large
sums, and not likely " to be reduced by
demand for exportation. '
The Demberaiic Platform of 1856 says:
That Congress' has no power to charter
a national bank; -We believe such .an
institution one of deadly hostility to the
best interests of the county, dangerous
to our Republican institutions and the
liberties of : the people, and calculated
to place the ; business of. the "country
within " the control of a concentrated
naoney power and above the laws and
the will of the people.
The Kinston, Show Hill and
- Greenville Railroad.
The proposition of Mr. Best on be
half of the Midland railroad to build a
branch road from Kinston to Green
ville via Hookerton and Snow Hill has
raised considerable- discussion along
the proposed route.
Mr. Best wishes Lenoir county, for
her share of the work, to donate the
stock it holds in the A. & N. C. R. R.
(costing $50,000, and worth now
about $6,000) and to take $25,000 in
in stock in the new road, not to
be paid until the road is finished.
We find in Lenoir several divergent
views on the proposition, of which the
following is the substance:
1. Every railroad in a community is
of great benefit to it, and Lenoir coun
ty can well afford to give her stock in
the A. & N. C. R. R. and make some
additional appropriation to secure this
new road.
2. That Lenoir county is not inter
ested in the matter at all, but only the
town of Kinston and the section of
country between Kinston and Snow
Hill through which the railroad would
run; and therefore the county at large
ought not to be expected to contribute
to something of mere local impor
tance. 3. That the road when built will
not do the town of Kinston any good at
all; for as this new road - is only a
branch of the Midland road, Kinston!
will only be a station as it now is, and
not the terminus; and therefore freights
from Snow Hill and ; Hookerton will
not stop at Kinston 1, any more than
theydo jQow frpSiu La Grange pr Fal
ling Creek, bntwiU be shipped direct
f to New Berne er to New York?
From these different views and from
the nature of the plan the Journal
holds that Lenoir county is not inter
ested in the road to the extent of sub
scribing the $25,000. Any county
will be benefitted by every mile of
railroad through it, for it is property
that is being added to its list of taxa
bles; and as the land through which
the road would run would appreciate
in value, so the general prosperity of
the county would be promoted.
But if donating the stock in the A. &
N. C. R. R. would alone secure the
road we think it ought to be done.
True the country around La Grange or
on the south side of Neuse 'river
would be only indirectly benefitted,
but it ought to be remembered that
whatever, benefits one section of the
county jv ill react and promote the wel
fare of the whole; beside, there is not
mucb probability, of anything ever be
ing realized from the stock in the At
lantic railroad. Shrewd railroad ma
nipulators ean generally so control a
road that, small stockholders will nev
er realize anything from their
stock. '
We think further that the road would
benefit Kinston to a considerable ex
tent, although there is some force in
the difficulty suggested - about being
only a station. It gives the Kinston
merchants a chance to. have ready
communication with a large s and opu
lent country and thus necessarily adds
to the importance ;of the place,' But
that they can wise as much as $25,-
000 for this purpsse is" rather "more
than eould be said. . ,,
1 . Mr.: Best, if he succeeds in building
these branch roads which he has in
contemplation, will be doing a great
work In Eastern North Carolina; iff
that he is bringing : among us , North
ern capital and Northern enterprise and
Northern business methods in all of
which we' are frank to admit that our
Southern people are ' oftentimes sadly
lacking and it i right that our peo
pie should eo-operate . with him and
help to the best of their ability.
., The JouESAt ml take pleasure in
advocating this co-operation, .whenever
and .wherever wethink. it ; right. But
we-think Mr. Best is liable to fall into
errbr and make a total failure in get
ting aid by asking 'too" much. 4 And
we mean by the ;iwords Vtoo much,"
not more than ought to be given but
more 'than the people are able to gi ve.
Therconnties of Lenoir and Jones, al
though in a prosperous condition, have
nothing like the accumulated capital
of the citizens of New :' Berne nor as
much as the citizens of Greene county..
All through' the' great civil war the
county of Jones' was 5 'devastated and
plundered,-being neutral ground for
both armies to pillage; and at the close
of, that war ".Sherman's bummers"
carried desolation and destruction up
on nearly evefy homestead in Lenoir
county. ' Greene county . was spared
this lasf, scourge, and New Berne had
been for? several years ; recovering her
'prosperity., .. '
.'While 'such items may appear small
they make a great difference in the
prosperity of the country, j When a
farmer most go in debt for. . stock and
tools, corn and fodder, food and cloth
ing; as wasdone "by the' 'farmers of
these counties in 1 865-66 , money -making
is slow work; and only for the last
two or three years have these commu
nities been able to' see daylight in fi
nancial matters. And now when it is
expected for. thim' to undertake new
burdens they, 'airs naturally cautious,
knowing their inability to poy much,
or to promise much with a. .reasonable
hope of fulfilment.
' So with a strong desire to see the
branch road built through Jones and
Onslow,, as well as the one from Kin
ston to Snow Hill and Oreenville, we
say; candidly that if it is expected for
Jones and'Lenoir counties to do much
of the work' .these roads will never be
built. Greene county is more able and
is more in need of railroad communi
cation and we think her people will be
willing to giya liberally to that end.
The Spring Elections.
The recent elections in Western
States show something of a reaction
against the Republican parly. In
Ohio and in Indiana the liem- ques
tion lost the Republican the German
vote. Indeed this secession bids fair
to be permanent, jinleRs the Demo
crats blunder even w..ivr ihan iisimI
Constant meddling wilti ieivonaJ
rights and privileges has alienated
from the Republicans in severl West
ern States a large following that
hitherto bad been faithful to the u-ty
even to the sacrifice of material inter
ests.. Many of the prominent Ger
man leaders in the West have openly
declared that their last vote has been
given to the Republicans. This deter
mination is the result, not of momen
tary passion, but of belief, foreed by
long experience, that intolerance,
arbitrary methods and offensive the

intention of free government underlif

Any concerted movement among
the Germans would determine the
votes of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Wisconsin at the next Presidential
election, to say nothing of iU influ
ence in New 01 k. New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania. Events may come to
pass in the next two years to prevent

From the New York Daily Commercial Bulletin,
April 6, 1882.
Cotton and Corn.
TsiJhe Editor of the Commercial Bulletin:
ThertMS no axiom in philosophy more
frequently verified in the daily affairs of
life than this: ikEvery extreme produ
ces its opposite." in mind, as in phys
ics, all movement is toward extremes.
Yet, ever present as this law is in all
the events of life, none is more con
stantly overlooked or forgotten in the
calculations of business men. A friend
remarked to me yesterday how utterly
incredible it would have been a year ago
that corn could ever be scarce in this
country after the enormous crops of the
last few years. I remarked m reply,
that the mere fact of such enormous
production had led me exactly a year
ago to predict such comparative scarcity,
and the consequent rapid turn in the
balance of trade. This set me to re
flecting on the present extraordinary po
sition of cotton.
In April 1874, after the ,)iy Cook
panic, middling cotton sold in Liverpool
at SJd. 1 1 continued to sell at 8d or
over till November of the same year.
During the three years previous it had
fluctuated from 8d to lljd.
After 1874, the business depression
spread rapidly over the whole world,
and cotton fell under the same weight
that crushed all other products of labor.
For six years, Cd has held the same po
sition in regard to price or value that
8d held nreviouslv. The experience of
each season Droved that at 6id. which
was about the average price, there was
practically no limit to consumption.
All the oroducts 01 industry were
cheap beyond all precedent in the mem
orv of the present generation food con
spicuously o. There was nothing for
the cotton planter but to push cotton
production to his utmost capacity. Mon
ey could not be had for anything else,
and as it happened to be the usual se
ries of good crop seasons which coine at
intervals of three, or four years, he had
no difficulty in . making corn enough
without taking any labor from cotton of
conseouence Five or six years, and
indeed' very much les9 time, is amply
sufficient to convince nine men in ten
that there never can be any check to
the increase of the cotton crop that 8d
for cotton again in our time is a dream,
and that 10a would surely be a mir
acle.
vvhat do we see now? The Southern
corn crop, very small at best, and only
intended, with a good season, to supply
home consumption, is a failure, like all
the other cr ns of the country. The
cotton crop falls 1,300,000 to 1,400,000
bales behind the last, and yet, so far,
the planter has not got more per pound
for his cotton than the average of last
season. In the meantime, Europe, in
resoonse to the short crop outcry in
this country, sent urgent orders to In
dia. Egypt and Brazil to suck out their
crops as rapidly as possible, in order to
shake the American speculators out of
their property by making believe that
these countries would make good their
deficiency in the American cotton crop,
as they and some others have partially
iu grain; but even in grain, yet not
without ftU advance of 20 to 25 per cent
in price.
Of course, there are i these days
multitudes of speculators m cotton who
are uninformed or grossly misinformed
on the whole question of cotton ciops and
cotton values, but all experienced cot
ton merchants know that any possible
difference in the crops of other coun
tries is the merest trifle against a deficit
of 20 per cent in the American crop.
But in truth there is no good reason to
suppose that they are 20 or even 10 per
cent greater than last year. In the
season of '76-'77 there was some alarm
about a short crop in this country,
which proved te be exaggerated, and
there was similar urgency for about six
weeks in hurrying forward cotton from
India and Egypt. In that time ship
ments from Bombay showed an excess
of 1 00,000 bales, and Ellison predicted
then, as now, an excess in crop ot
three to four hundred thousand bales.
The ultimate result was a crop 110 lar
ger than previous ypars. All last fall
and winter the same Ellison estimated
the excess in Egyptian crop at 100,000
to 150,000. It now turns out that,
though the crop was shipped so rapidly
that there is an excess of 84.000 bales
in shipments, this will be all, or nearly
all lost, as there is just so much less in
Egypt. .Last summer the same excel
lent authority. Mr. Ellison, stated in
his circular that the world required an
American crop of 6 to 6i millions to
get along comfortably. When our short
crop began not to be feared, but proved,
and unless the Americans could be
frightened out of their cotton the trade
of the world would be cornered, he
comes out without a bluah and states
that the world will get alonij very well
with 5i million.
How patriotic those Englishmen are !
What an example to American editors
who hnvo been for six months innocent
ly expostulating with American specu
lators for not complying with the wish
es of Europe, and handing to her the
poor remnant of our burnt nd blight
ed crops at her own pricp. An English
man will do anything for his country, he
will even well die for it.
Si-" mouths of the season, as reckoned
in Liverpool, are now past. Let us see
what is the present position and what
the prospect is for the coming six. The
statistical position, as reported, shows,
say 00 thousand bales deficit, though
our crop movement is 850 thousand
short. Let us see how this happens. I
will use approximate figures in round
numbers to save time:
Europe has nCPivcd frum other eou.i
trips than Ameriea an excess of say -5(),0()0

may continue to increase for weeks, it

But tbis is not all; nor is it the worst
by any means The area planted, must
of necessity be, greatly- reduced. The
planters, about once every ten years,
commit a similar mistake, with like re
sults. Since 1876, the increase in the
cotton crop has greatly exceeded their
natural capacity. In four years, the J
crop increased 50 per cent, whereas the j
natural increase could hardly have been
more than 15 per cent. The catastro- j
phe was due this season, and it would!
have come, with either a large crop or a i
small one. Of coins-, it was greatly,
aggravated by tin; iailure of both corn j
and cotton. The area planted must be
materially reduced. A similar crin.s oc
curred in 1871, aud the next crop fell
off one-third and the Liverpool cotton
market advanced from 6id t lid and
over, remaining from 9Jd to 11 Id for
nearly two years,
The law of action and reaction, which
makes a very high price, has uothing oc
cult in it when traced through the fluc
tuations of the cotton market. A few
large crops increase maceinery, stimu- 1
late invention and open up new
mark -
ets all round the globe. Jet it be re- :
membered always, that whatever the j
supply of cotton may be, it will be con- j
sumed, and for thirty years past always j
has ben. When all at once there is re- j
duced production, cotton will, of course, j
go much higher than it ever would have i
gone had production not been excessive j
and the price too low.
I fear I have trespassed on j our space
too much, but, with your permission, I
will add a few words more. The more
I observe and study the course of prices
in all departments of trade, the more I
am satisfied that they are governed by
uniform laws, aud especially by that
most potent of all the laws of both
physical and mental dynamics, the law
of action and reaction. As Herbert
Spencer puts it, "Man Is always movin
irom error in one direction to error in
the opposite direc ion."

Passed here on Wednesday afternoon
on their tour of examination, making
no stop on their way down. They pro
ceeded that evening as far as the Warm
Springs, where they spent the night, go
ing oh to Paint Rock the next morning.
Their train passed over the line into
Tennessee, showing that the North
Carolina part is fully done. The road is
dna good and safe order and the
work of finishing up is going on steadily.
The Tennessee part will be ready to es
tablish permanent schedule connections
by May 1st, though travel goes through
even now.
Returning from Paint Bock, the party
returned the same day to Asheville
and thence immediately down the Duck-
town branch, and crossed Pigeon river,
a distance of 21 miles. That road is now
in good order and the lun each way was
made In one Jiour and five minutes. The
party express grateful appreciation of
the very elegant dinner served up to
them at Penland's, the present ter
minus. They returned to Asheville the
same day, stopping at the Swannanoa
hotel, and were waited upon by many
citizens, and had an important confer
ence with the business men of Asheville.
The party, accompanying the com
mittee, consisted of C'ol, A. S, Buforo-,
