We copy; below a timely article from the Journal Observer concern ing the public lands in the Southern States, We have been contending since the Journal was founded thaiit would be good policy for the State of North Carolina to use a portion of her convict force in cut-l ting roads through Tier, swamp .lands, and npw 1 since , tbijiwdrk is nnder way, we think it advisable for the authorities to be cautions about letting these lands slip. There Is no question about these pocosins containing some valuable lands' and 'some well timbered All that is necessary to make them marketable is to cut roads through them which will not. only pe of convenience to ' the people jiving in those sections where, the lands are, but will at the same time begin the work of drain- . Some of the Louisiana papers f axe criticizing Jihe : policy of that State in: disposing of its public lands at a mere nominal price, rang- - ing from twelve, and a half to sev- anrv.tttfo 4Anra anaAro ' thoaa lands - VM J .A V WUWV ..VUUM being bought and held by specula tors with, a view to future specula tion. A great deal of it is heavily timbered land, one tree of which placed on the market would com . mand more than the price paid for 5 many acres. -'.jThe Times-Democrat, of 2iow Orleans, commenting upon it, says:, , "We have pointed out repeatedly the danger of - selling onr entire public domain, at . cheap rates, and when better prices are ahead. . The United States . Commissioners of ' Agriculture. the forestry depart ment, the lumber men all declare this, and' predict an immense de mand tpr Southern land and lumber within a verv few vears. .Inthe ' meanwhile, the best of .it fs. being "goDDiea up" Dy capitalists ana .corporations, by the thousands of acres at a time.' Even in Florida, where much open treeless country has been lately purchased improved ; anJ brought under cultivation a . decided advantage - to the State there i3 some complaint' over the surrender of all the State: lands to , a foreign company; but Louisiana, being mainly well wooded, has far bettet reason to object to the sale ' nf H. nnhlifi domain nt ficmrAfl - which, while they were just and propef aew; years ago, are really below their market value to-day." All this applies to other South Wb States as well as Louisiana, in some of which large tracts of the , ppblio domain have been practically " given away, fl$tM actual settlers wose jpnrppse was to develop and Improve but to speculators whose' purnogerTas ,td hold .and i make mdney on. The State of Florida . gave away fieverAl millions of acres, and the State of Texas an immense domain, to a Chicago company which agreed to.buud in considera tion thereof a State'" capitoL which , the State, which ', has a surplus; in . her treasury, coma nave duuc ner self without feeling it. Mississippi and Alabama have also disposed of large tracts with an equally lavish stupidity. . , And this short sighted . policy prevails in the face of the fact that every iday adds to the value of these lands, and that the time is not far dictast when the Southern forest and the Southern swamp .will be sources of inestimable yalue, the first f,;r -ma- ,ctr,ring purposes and bKiw22. caterial, the latter 1 for aralla pnrpoces when drained and reclaimed.

It is a stnpid and unpardonable policy for the States to le thuja but- j rendering for a mere nothing lands which In a little time, if properly managed, may , become sources of large revenue, especially when such surrender is not necessary and there is no valid reason for it. . . .'. i - ' : . That County Line A.galn. . . f ' Editor Jouenal: Neither Cra ven nor Carteret can successfully resist the law; and both will have to accept the division line, when run according to the act . to define and establish it.' ' T Therefore, it is of ,no conse quence, just now, whether the pas- ot that act was procured through fraudulent misrepresenta tions or not., it is in lorce ana tne question ' for consideration is "has been complied with! Has its evident meaning and expressed di rections been carried out in loca ting the line claimed by Carteret as the dividing line between' the countiesi" " ''"'-''"-.' i The act is explicit enough in re gard to the natural boundaries and there is no dispute as to its mean ing until they terminate at the head of Blue Billey's creek.- It themcalla for a "northeast course to the turnpike, thence tp the mouth of Tonrnagain bay.", 'v - - A northeast course will never intersect the turnpike, but will pass its northern terminus a considera ble- distance off, hence the - course must be changed to conform to the call with the least possible devia tion from the course named, which will make the line intersect ,-t he turnpike at its northern , extremity or terminus. ; , . , ; 1 This Messrs. . AntliQny Huff, Id ward Caraway and -ltafug'-W. Bell, in whom I had the utmost confidence 'offered to show, but in stead thereof, showed the end of a neighborhood road which, as I am informed,' is at least three miles from the place1 recognized as the end of the turnpike and Messrs. Win uowianq onu )oun uutune. ,wno profess to be acquainted with the tacts relating thereto; corrobarated their . evidence. Not being aware that there was any dispute or con troversy as to the turnpike's local ity, the line was run accordingly and l supposed correctly un til r i I h received f 5 a - letter from my " 'father -enclosing copy of. the act, establishing ( the tnrnpiKe, ' wnicn naa been -sent down several days before and kept for me at Mr, Washington , Bell's store until the line was finished and I was returning home.' I imme diately showed the act to Mr. Guth rie and proposed to run the line correctly from Blue Billey's creek to the road recognized as the turnpike at Back creek, thence to Touma- gain bay and upon his refusal to do so, declined to sign tho joint re port required by law to establish the line run as the dividing line bo tween the counties and reported my uumuu w our vuuiuiitisiunera, who individually concurred in my opinion that the line proposed is within the meaning of the act and were willing - to accept a line so run. Still whether there is,. a, turnpike - or , not is a question not by . any means settled: If ' ClUlv VI VU& UUOU t TT fiD doubt its existence. For the act of its creation expressly provides that the turnpike, to be established shall extend through the State lands from the head of North river to the head of Adams creek and the turnpike, so called, runs from the head of North river to, Back creek which is three or four miles from the head of the creek designated. - If the turn pike was properly laid according to the act of its creation its northern terminus would be at the head of Adams creek and a line run thence would take more of Carteret's orig inai territory than the present line takes from Cravettl and Craven, if disposed, could contend for thsjt line with as much justice and pro priety as Carteret can lor. the pres entone. , t ,. , S-V f-? It is not surprising that Craven has1 delinquents who are anxious to transfer their property Xrom her. tax list to that of Carteret. They be lieve their taxes will be less," for our confident mend, Mr, uuthne, will not fail to so inform them, giv ing as a reason that the glorious old county oi carteret nad never paid a cent of "railroad tax", and never should while such good, hon est men as himself lived to oppose it within her ,wide, . extended bor ders. ''-. ;' .. ; Now, in conclusion, I will state in justice to our chairman that he was doubtless deceived, though nn intentionally) i since ..Mr', Eufus W Bell admitted to me , that he be lieved a northeast line from Blue Billey's creek to tho turnpike would strike it near Back creek and did not think it would tak from Craven more than one cr t .v white fa2ii!lrtSi and t!

A certain cashier," having large responsibilities at the head of a great city bank, was tempted, no matter how,' to indulge in private speculations with the bank's funds. Before he realized it he bad mis-. appropriated and lost $50,000. , In desperation; and to retrieve his for tunes he went still deeper, fH-ith the result that instead of extracting himself he shortly found the amount of his loss Jucreased to'.. 1100,000. he time of the annual examination of bis accounts and the, affairs of the bank being close at band, he was unable to contrive method of concealing bis 'stealings, ' and the day before the official examination : he went to his lawyer, a wealthy man, and made a clean breast. The lawyer, after", some "reflection, asked: "Do the directors still retain their confidence in yon!" "They do not even suspect," was the answer.' Will you promise, to be governed by my advice!!' .''I will.' t"Sitdown and write a complete confession of your guilt.'' . The cashier wrote and lgnfcd the required confession.; -; "Now.'? 'said the 'lawveri; "co to the bank before 10 o'clock to mor row morning and take negotiable securities from the safe," -to th$ amouut of $100,000. ' - Bring1, them to me as early as possible. ";f .": The cashier did as-was directed, and brought government and'Staty bonds to the required amount and gave them to bis lawyer. "Now I will go with youl said, the lawyer, "and plead your case with the bank directors at the regular meeting.? They went together. , The eashier read ms comession in a voice con vulsed with sobs. lie" told low the theft had been committed,, avowed his remorse, and iii the same breath confessed his inability to make good tno amount. "What is the amount!? asked the President. - "It is $200, 000," answered the cashier': ' 4 There was a decided sensation in the board, aud 1 exclamations ' of astonishment at the extent of the oss went from mouth to mouth, in the midst of which the law ver. rose anil addressed them, lie begged them to consider ' the 1 confidence, which was in1 itself 'a temptation, they had reposed in their cashier, us loqg Beryice, and , other thincs calculated to mitigate their feelings toward his client. Ho then shewed hem that the publication of this deficit at that time would cripple the bank and probably compel it to close its uoors, and ended. ,by say ing mac no Himself had such con fidenco in the. future of. his client. in his remorse and repentance, that he would engage to , collect amone his. other friends' and from various sources $100,000, and; bring it to them before 3 o'clock on that dav. provided they would give his client a written guarantee against a enm inal prosecution. E"lf not,'' he" ad ded,' "his client ; would' surrender hhnself into their hawls arid meet the penalty of his misdeeds, but the DanK would lose tne whole amount.".
