Legislature of 186a
There was a mighty uprising of
the people in August, 1870, which
drove out Holden, Littlefleld, D*v
weese, Laflin, Estes, and the Radi-cal
rognea who were bribed to pass
bills through the legislature amount-ing
to the enormous sum ot t26,-
000,000.
The people retired most of the
carpet bag and scalawag members
of that remarkable body. Many of
them will have the impudence to
present themselves, like Governor
Caldwell, cursing Littlefleld, and
pretending to think they pay suffl-rient
tribute to honesty and virtue
when they curse Littlefleld. George
\V. Swepaon has sworn that he paid
the members of this legislature
and others 1241,713 31 to aid in
passing railroad bills. The money
was paid generally by Littlefleld's
checking on him.
An account was ki;pt, and these
arc the parties who received the
money:
8aye Swepson when on oath be-fore
the Shipp Committee, "It is
duo to me(Swepson)and the truth to
state that I have paid for and on
account of the Western Division of
of the North Carolina Kailroad
Company, the sum of $241,713 41
to secure its charter and appropria-tions.
I paid this amount in fnll
every dollar, and I call the atten-tion
of the commission to the veri-fied
statement of Mr. G. Rosen-thai."
G. Kosenthal is Swepson's clerk.
His verified statement is, as repor-ted
on page 310 of the Shipp Com
ini.-.-ioii report:

It would extend this editorial
longer than is desirable to give the
whole list.
Littlefleld kept a free bar in the
Capitol where Governor Holden,
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell nud
many of the Judges with members
are said to have done much free
drinking. Littlefleld spent over
112,000 for whiskey, wine and to
baceo. The capitol was, day and
night, polluted by the presence of
lewd women. One Judge received
two baskets of champaigiie from
the Capitol, besides whiskey by the
bottle, and jug. Gov. Caldwell and
Gov. Moldi-n know, when they were
drinking of Littlefleld's whiskey, it
was paid for by money stolen from
the people, or to bo stolen from
them.
This remarkable body of negroes,
oarpet-baggera, scallawags a n <1
rogues met the 1st day of July,
1SI>S. and were in session 55 days,
at a cost of $1400 per day. They
were in session 24 days before they
passed a single law. They drew
from the treasury 830,000 before
they passed a single law. By the
23d of August they had managed
to pass thirty-six laws in 52 days.
Iu the two last days of the session,
they passed thirty-four laws. They
adjourned to meet again on the 14
day of November 1868.
Littlefleld was again on baud with
a fresh supply of whiskey, wiuennd
tobacco all free as pump water on
Fayetteville St.
An ex-member of Congress tells
ns that he had the fact from those
who knew, that a Brick Top frail
one on Spruce Street, New
York, held at one time 90 special
tax bonds of the State of North
Carolina, the nominal valne ot
which is #90,000, the market value
at the time being some 840,000.
Sncb a prostitution of law and
decency was never known before.
With this fresh snpply of wine
aud women, the legislature of lsu.s
were enabled to sit 135 days more
at 11400 per day. 8191 102 10 for
the 135 days. From the 10th of
November to the 16th of December.
They passed two laws in the thirty
days at a cost of 842,000. On the
9th of April they bad been in ses-sion
131 days, MM passed 133 laws.
They adjourned and met again ou
the 15th of November, and sat 115
days, at s cost of 11400 per day,
making 8161,481 70 for the 118
days. Up to the 13th of December
they had passed but two acts, at a
cost of #40,000, one of these acts
concerning their per ditnt. Up to
the 24th of March they had passed
105 acts ; in the last three days of
the session they passed 130 acts.
Let the people remember these
things:
1st. That Governor Caldwell pre-sided
over one branch of the legis-lature
and Joe Holen over the oth-er.
2nd. That in eight days, being
the last ot the session, they passed
308 public laws.
4th. That in the remaining days
they sat, they passed 272 acts.
4th. That they sat 55 days with
out passing a single act. Unless
tho election of tho carpet-bag
scoundrel, Abbott, to the United
States Senate be counted an act.
5th. That thev put a debt of #26,-
000,000 upon the people.
6th. That the body was bribed
with the people's money, amount-to
8241,713 41.
7th. That the entire cost of this
corrupt bodv, including Littlefleld's
#12,000 for whisky, or Littlefleld's
aud Swepson's bribery money of
$241,000, was $430,644.60,while the
cost of conservatives in 1870-'71,
was #199,188 37, making a differ-ence
between the two of $213,456-,
23
This legislature, with its corrup-tion
and blight upon every virtu-ous
calling and industrious pursuit
of the people, was elected by eighty
thousand negroes aud a few thous-and
white men.
Governor Caldwell says to his
bluck brigade of 80.000, •'■forward,''
"your liberties are in danger," your
old masters will ieinslave yon, hand
eufi's and the bucking block will bo
introduced upon yon again."
Remembering what Caldwell,
Holden and their eighty thousand
negroes have done aud knowing
what they will do we cail in sacred
earnestness upon the people of the
State to take their affairs out of
such hands and place them in tho
hands of Merrimon and Hughes
and the native born win, are capa-ble.
Let Abbott, French, Estes,
Tim Lee and the dirty horde from
the north know that hence forth
North Carolina shall be ruled by
North Caroliniaus.—Raleigh Senti-nel.

Alcohol in Medicines.—Two bun
dred and sixty five prominent Eng
lish physicians and surgeons have
signed a memorandum certifying
that alcohol In whatever form
should be prescribed with as much
care as any powerful drag, and that
the directions for its nse should be
framed as not to be interpreted as
a sanction for excess or for the con'
tinuance of its use when the occa-sion
has passed. The sifMss •ax-press
the firm conviction that the
large amouut of drink of alcoholic
liquors in Great Britain is as* of
the most hurtful evils of the day,
destroying, more than anything
else, the health, happiness and wel-fare
of the working classes. These
physicians say they will gladly
support any wise legislation which
would tend to restrict within prop-er
limits the use of alcoholic bev-erages
aud to introduce habits of
temperance Among tho signers
are to be fouud the names of distin-guished
physicians and surgeons of
extensive practice, army surgeons
of high rank, iuspectorgenerals of
hospitals, professors in medical col-leges,
and members of the medical
staffs attached to hospitals in Lon-don

Gunpowder.—A little sulphur, a
little charcoal, and a little nitre,
ground together, aud we have that
wouderful mixture which rules for
good or for evil, the destinies of
men. When gunpowder is ignited,
the solid is almost instantly conver-ted
into gas, which, were it fired
nnder water, and the gas cooled
down to the ordinary temperature
of the air, would be found to occu-py
900 times the space of the solid
powder. Gasses arc, however,
known to expand with an immense
force when heated ; and as the gas-ses
of gunpowder are, iu ordinary,
projected at a red heat, they are
consequently greatly expanded,
amounting, is estimated, to more
than 2,500 times the volume of the
power burned; aud it is here we see
whence spring the power of projec-tion
of firearms. Great as are the
evils of wars, the use of gunpowder
has shortened their duration from
years to days.

Instinct of Turtles.—Audobou,
the naturalist, stated that at cer-tain
places on the coast of Florida
sea turtles, those huge stupid look-ing
reptiles on which alderman are
fed at the expense of taxiwyeis,
possess an extraordinary faculty
ot fluding places. Working their
way up out of the reach of tide wa-ter
with their flippers, quite a deep
bole is excavated, in which a batch
of eggs are deposited, and then
carefully covered np. On reaching
the water they not unfrequcntly
swim 380 miles out at sea, lor ap-propriate
food. When another batch
of eggs are developed, after a lapse
of about fourteen days, they will re-turn
unerringly in" a direct line,
oven in the darkest night, and visit
the buried eggs. Removing the
sand, more are deposited and se-cured.
Away they go again as
before. They know instinctively
the day and honr when the young
brood, incubated by solar rays, will
break the shell, and aro promptly
at the spot to liberate them from
their prison. As soon as fairly out
of the hole the mother turtle leads
themdowu the bank to the waves,
and there ends her parental solici-tude
and maternal duties.—.V. F.

The Lottery Business^lt Is esti-mated
by a person fully conversant
with its details that there are in
New York city between fire hun-dred
and 50 and six hundred where
lottery numbers are eold. The
amount of money daily reeeived at
these places averages #30,000 per
day, or #120,000 per week, aad for
the year #6,340,000. The profits of
the business, if legitimately eon-ducted,
would be great; as it is,
they are claimed to be enormous.—
It is alleged that the business is
now simply fraudulent The num-bers
given oat to the various policy
shops, and against which those who
invest their money play or bet, are
supposed to be those first drawn m
the lotteries sanctioned by the
States of Louisiana and Missouri,
the results of such drawing being
telegraphed each day from the
places where the drawings are held
to the principals of the lottery busi-ness
in this city. It is alleged that
in mauy instances these numbers
have been falsitied in order to cheat
those wbehave wagered tm the re-sult,
aud iu various other ways have
the credulous gamblers been duped.
Aiu-ioH* to be Banged.—There is
au old munuamed Jeremiah Collins,
iu prison at Albany, under sentence
of death for the murder of his wife.
Unlike most culprits similarly sit-uated,
ho insists on the execution
of his sentence. He insists upon it
that his wifo deserved to be killed,
and at the same time seems to think
that he ought to be hanged. He
objects to any commutation of his
sentence, and expresses dissatisfac-tion
with Gov. Hoffman for post-poning
his execution a few weeks.
He was originally sentenced to be
hanged on the 18th of May, bat the
Governor respited him to the 15th
ot July. When be was sentenced
ho requested the Judge to make the
time as short as possible.
Tobacco—By a Small Boy—To-bacco
grows something like cab-bages,
but I never saw none of it
boiled.although I have eaten boiled
cabbages and vinegar ou it, aud
have heard men say that cigars
that was given to them on election
day for nothing was cabbage leaves.
Tobacco stores are mostly kept by
wooden Injuns, who stand at the
door and try to fool little boys by
offering them a bunch of cigars
which is glued into the Injun's
hands, and is made of wood also.
Hogs do not like tobacco—neither
do I. I tried to smoke a cigar once,
aud made me feel like Epsom salts.
Tobacco was invented by a man
named Walter Raleigh. When the
people first saw him smoking they
were frightened. My sister Nancy
is a girl. I don't know whether she
likes tobacco or not. There is a
young man named Leroy who comes
to see her. He was standing on t ne
steps one night, and bad a cigar in
bis mouth, and be said he didn't
know as she would like it and she
said: "Leroy, the perfume is agree-able."
Bat when big brother Tom
lighted hie pipe, Nancy said: "Get

l'reparingfor Death.—The Atlan-ta
Ga , Sun says that "John Bonner,
an old citizen of Hancock county,
well known throughout the State,
died in Sparta, a few days ago, after
a protracted illness. He was near-ly
seventy years of age at the time
(if bis death. He was an oddity in
his way. It is said bo had his coffin
made years ago, and has kept it on
hand ever since, and that at the
time it was made, he put a number
of bottles ofbrandy of his own make
in it, to be kept till his death, and
drank by bis friends at his funeral.
We have not heard whether the
braudy was appropriated as design-ed
or iiot. It was old enough to DO
good." ^^^^_____
Keep Good Company —Intercourse
with persons of decided virtue and
excellence is of great importance in
the formation of a good character.
The force of example is powerful.

on the model of those with whom
we familiarly associate.
