POLITICAL.
HILL AT THE FEAST.
THE SENATORS SPEECH AT TIIE PRESIDENTIAL
BANQUET.
The Constitution — Its Comprehensiveness —
Its Simplicity and Adoptability to every
Change of Political Philosophy.
Responding to the toast: “The Constitu
tion—The North Star in our political hori
zon.” Senator Ben Ilill spoke as follows:
Mr. President: It seems to me to be my
fortune, of late years, to agree with what 1
hear from our president, hut in nothing that
he has said so fully, as that I am not capable
of making an after dinner speech. You all
know that I never made one that was fit to be
heard, and I presume that you put me at the
heel of the programme on that account, and
that you expected the hour to be exhausted,
and therefore I wouldn't attempt to make a
speech. [Laughter.] It will be but a short
time before our friends will have to go to a
place where ladies and gentlemen arc expect
ing to meet them, and therefore I shall say
but. a very few words. The book which we
call “the good Book” says that‘out of the
fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh.”
There is nothing of human device, or origin,
or manufacture, that so fills mv heart as the
constitution of the United States. In my
judgment, the formation of that constitution
was the grandest era in all political history.
Nor do I believe there is one instrument, of
human framing in whose preservation is
wrapped up so much of human happiness, and
in whose destruction is involved so much of
human misery. These are sincere, heartfelt
convictions, and they are convictions that
have called from me sentiments of respect
for that constitution before the war, during
t.he war, and since the war. I have sometimes
thought that Providence had reserved this
western continent for a grander development
of mankind, and, disgusted with the tyrannies
and wrongs of a thousand shapes of the old
country, our forefathers had traveled hither
this new continent, under divine guidance,
to establish anew theory and anew system
of government and of progress, abater than
the old world had ever known. I have been
tempted to believe that the formation of this
constitution was inspired for the express
purpose of adapting to this new continent
and new people a system of government best
adapted to their development and progress.
There is nothing in any language so grand ;
and yet so simple and also so complicated !
1 have seen people who could repeat every
line in it and yet who did not understand a
single provision in it. and then I have seen
others who could not repeat a line of it and
yet knew and understood the whole of it. The
very formation of it,, I repeat, was singular.
It was almost inspiration. Toucan take
history and you can find nowhere, in any
work, a spirit so akin to the divine, so absoute
ly unselfish, so absolutely devoted to the
devising of a system of government adapted
to the people whom they represented as char
acterized the framers of this instrument. I
cannot tell you all about the spirit manifest
ed by them, but I wish I could impress upon
ov£rv mind in America that the framers of
this constitution were high enough, and grand
enough, true enough, and patriotic enough,
and intelligent enough to understand that in
a country of such diverse interests and habit
of thought no people could live together ex
cept in a spirit of mutual concession and
compromise. Why, sir, I have often heard
people say that they were opposed to com
promise—they never concede any thing.
Why, Washington and even' person engaged
in the formation of that document, had that,
grand spirit of concession, or the constitution
could never have been framed. Sir, there
are diverse theories expressed as to the secret
of your success. Ask one man and he will
say it is because von removed the troops from
South Carolina and Louisiana; some will
suy one thing and some another, but pardon
me if I say that your success is attributable
to the fact that you and your cabinet have
learned to respect and execute the constitution
in the spirit in which it was made. [Ap
plause.] You say that you know “no north,
no south, no east and no west,” and those are
beautiful words in one sense of their applica
tion, but there is a north and there is a south,
and each has its peculiaities of interests of
population and habits of thought, and there
is an east and a west, each also with its pe
cnlaritics, and we cannot ignore the fact.—
Their peculiarities differ, their theories differ,
their reasonings differ, their educations differ ;
but this beautiful spirit of concession—hon
orable, mutual concession—which made our
fathers so grandly wise and so great and no
ble, will make ns as one. It is by that spirit
that you arc expected to bring this north and
south, this east and this west, into one beau
tiful, harmonious whole in support of our com
mon constitution. [Applause.] And at the
risk, perhaps, of provoking criticism or run
ning find of some who have had their senti
ments whetted to an unusual degree by rea
son of our sectional controversies, I say
here and I am willing to be responsible for it
—that no man is fit, to administer this govern
ment except one who feels baptized in the
glorious spirit in which that constitution was
framed. [Appliause.] And I say, further
more, that you think the presidency of this
country is a wonderfully difficult task. In
many respects it is. But I say that any
gentleman who is really patriotic, and who
understands the constitution of the country,
and who is baptised in that spirit which
framed it, cannot fail to give us an adminis
tration which will promote the prosperity and
happiness of the country. But I can say
nothing more upon that subject. 1 have
heard my friend over*here [Gov. Brown.] and
others make able arguments to prove that the
constitution was a compact. Of course all
government in America is founded on agree
ment, but that is not the question. What,
did it result, in ? One says a league another
says a nation. But why not simply take the
constitution itself ? Why discuss what it is—
whet her a league, a federation or a nation ?
The great necessity that urged our forefathers
to make the constitution was to get rid of a
league. Then why make this discussion ?
Why not take the language of the constitu
tion itself and say it was formed in order
that we might have a more perfect union ? I
say let us solve the question by the language
of the Constitution. It says that it is a con
stitution—l do not care whether you call it a
compact, whether you call ir, a league—this
thing which is named a constitution declares
that this constitution and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law
of the land. The rose owes not its fragrance
to its name. Now, tell me what is the su
preme law ol the land ? I ('this is the supreme
law of the land is there anything more su
preme ? A\ hy make a controversy about a
name ? I have always thought—for I have
studied it more than any other human sub
ject that we have had much idle controversy
on these subjects, and our history furnishes
many illustrations of how idie our controver
sies have been. Will you pardon me for
mentioning two important instances of this
kind.
We of the South have been accustomed to
think that the great danger to the country
from the Republican party was a tendency
to centralism—centralized government—by
which the States were to be obliterated, and
the government made into ore absolute, un
limited nation. I say we have taught our
people to fear this great evil. I taught it.
and we all honestly believed it. The fact I
state, however. is*thi: t hat the decision of
the eight Republicans upon the Electoral
Commission embodies the strongest declara
tions of State sovereignty that have e\er been
made in our history. I will not except any
thing found in the writings of Jefferson or
Calhoun. It is so strong an assertion of the
doctrine of State sovereignty and indepen
dence that even Democrats, who had almost
been on that line, seemed stunned and ready
to fall back. They were not willing to follow
their own doctrines to such an excess. lam
riot discussing the correctness or the motive
of this decision. lam only stating a remark
able fact in our history. Another thing : the
Northern people have been taught for ten
years to believe that if the Democrats were
in power they would be controlled by the
Southern people, and that these were only
rebels, and if they once got into power they
would seek the first opportunity to hurry the
country into a civil war. and overthrow the
government. And I think I was held up as
one of the most dangerous of that class. Yet
I saw the test come last winter, when, with
doors closed and windows barred, only a few
over a hundred spirits gathered together to
determine what to do in that great emergency.
It is literally true that a civil war stood right
before our faces, and it was in the power of
those derided confederates to say whether we
should have war or not, in this country. Thcs&
men stepped forward and said, “No! we will
have peace! No man and no part}’ is worth
a civil war!” [Applause.] And why not
have peace? *lfyou had told our Northern
friends twelve months ago that forty Confed
erates would have the power to say whether
the Republic should live or die—have peace
or war—they would have laughed at your fol
ly or trembled for the result. And if you
had been told twelve months ago that eight
distinguished Republicans would make an as
sertion under oath in favor of State sover
eignty and independence stronger than any
by Calhoun or Jefferson, you would have
mocked your informer as erratic and unreli
able. But these are facts in our history, and
it seems there is a Providence that takes care
of us. Who would have believed one year
ago that Georgia, with 80.000 Democratic ma-
jority would now be giving such a warm wel
come as this to a Republican President; or
that you and I would be suspecting that a
Republican President was modelling his ad
ministration on that of Washington ? Or
that I, a Democrat, could take a Republican
President—with a heart full of sincerity —by
the hand and say, “God bless von. sir?”
[Applause.] Yet these are things transpir
ing before us every da}’. These are things
which give us an augury of a grand future.
There have been times in the dark days when
my heart almost despared of my country. I
never went into politics except to resist what
I believed a coming revolution, and I have
continued in politics only to aid, as best I
could, in arresting a revolution that seemed
to threaten utter destruction to our whole
constitution and our constitutional system.
I am free to sav that I have been a happier
man for the last six months than in any six
months of mv life. I look above men and
parties, and I feel that something glorious
and akin to a divine power is now lifting us
and our whole country from the slough of
despond and putting us on the Mount of
Hope. [Applause.] So far from having fears
that the revolution will never end, I know it
is ended. So far from fearing that a revolu
tion will sweep away and destroy this grand
constitutional system in which I believe is
wrapped up the happiness of so many mil
lions. I believe it is upon a firmer basis to
day than in 1787. when it was made. Take
the constitution as it is, as amended, as it
stands, and I believe there are fewer causes
of dispute, less ground of trouble and less
reason for differences, and less possibility for
collision of arms in this country than ever
before. We of the South are thinking better
of the North, and the North is thinking bet
ter of the South, and the time is rapidly com
ing when this country shall rise up as one
man and say : Is it possible this people went
to the war? And they will answer that the
war came solely because the North and the
South, through their leaders, forgot and
abandoned the spirit in which the constitu
tion was made. Civil wars can never happen
if we will stand by the constitution. This
toast is right. The constitution is the fixed
star of our political heavens. May it shine
on and forever, and when you are gone to
your graves, and your children have gone to
their graves, and while generations of your
descendants shall come and go, may they see
the star of the constitution still brightly shin
ing. and peace, prosperity and glory crown
inc the country from one end to the other.
[Great applause.]
Two Daring Leaps for Life.
A correspondent at. Davidson College writes
us of an incident which occurred two or three
days ago near that village, and which reads
something like the deeds of daring of the days
of Ivanhoe, when men cared not to face death
itself to win the smiles of “women fair/’ A
young gentleman, a son of one of our well
known public men. was out horseback riding
in company with a lady friend, when the horse
ridden by the young lady became frightened
and ran at full speed down a long, steep hill.
Our hero immediately spurred after her.—
When the horse of the lady was about enter
ing a thick wood, with the self-possession of
a Joan of Arc. she slipped her foot from the
stirrup and threw herself from the flying
animal. Her gallant escort was immediately
behind, and his horse coming suddenly upon
the prostrated lady, sprang over her and
dashed into the woods. 11 is rider finding
him unmanageable, and being solicitous for
the welfare of his companion, sprang from
the horse while he was going at full speed,
unmindful of the consequences of so dan
gerous a leap, and landed upon the ground
unhurt. He then ran back and had the plea
sure of finding the lady wreathed in her usual
bright smiles, and unhurt. —Charlotte Ob
server.
“After all, you were onlj T a circus artist,”
said a prosperous equestrian’s daughter to a
well-known and clever actress, now retired
from the boards, on meeting her behind the
scenes the other day ; “ you were a member
of my father's circus company.” “Yes,”
replied the elderly lady, with dignit}', but
there are grades even in a circus ; your fath- j
er used to chalk my shoes.”
TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
TEMPERANCE.
Dr. 11. Franklin's definition of temperance
is: “Drink not to elevation; cat not to
dullness.” Properly speaking, temperance
means moderation, not abstinence. Form
erly in respect to alcoholic liquors this was
considered the true idea of temperance.
Modern temperance means abstinence from
alcoholic drinks as a beverage. But there is
a class of persons who maintain that the old
idea of temperance is the correct one, and
others claim that alcohol has no remedial or
dietetic properties. W hich of these have
the truth ? No two of them can he true. If
one is true, the other two are false. They
are incompatible with each other.
If the temperate use of alcoholic drinks as
a beverage is good, then its abuse is no ar
gument against its use. If it is an evil as a
beverage, and a good as a medicine, then its
use is limited to sick ftersons. If as a beve
rage and as a medicine it is an evil, then all
use is abuse. Admitting the premises, no
one can gainsay the conclusion in any one
of Jhe above cases. Now let us examine
these incompatible positions and endeavor to
ascertain which is the true one.
I. It has been urged that the moderate
use of alcohol is “the golden mean between
the two extremes,” and that the major part
of the intemperance of modern times is due
to the immoderate use of these beverages.—
It is also said that in former times these
liquors were of better quality than the ones
now so generally used, and that much of the
evil that is attributed to the use of these
beverages is really due to their adulteration
and not to the alcohol they contain. These
arguments are apparently plausible. Im
moderation is no argument against modera
tion. The ill effects of adulterated articles
are not arguments against the use of the
genuine. But prior to the acceptance of
this view of the subject as conclusive, the
primary question should be considered and
decided.
This question is : Is alcohol an aliment
or a poison ? If reliance is to be placed on
the authorities, there is no hope of obtaining
a conclusive decision upon this subject.—
Many high authorities are found on both
sides of this question. There is some weight
and force in arguments drawn from the opin
ions of men of distinction, but they can nev
er be regarded as conclusive.
But if we look to Science—the interpreter
of Nature —there will be no great difficulty
in obtaining a correct solution of this vexed
question. Science teaches, and that truly,
that plants are the sole producers of nourish
ment, and this by the processes of growth
and development. Alcohol is not produced
in this way ; hence alcohol is not an aliment.
Alcohol is a product of decomposition or
decay, which is not a food-forming, but a
food-destroying process.
Again, What are the effects of alcohol
when taken into the body? Dr. B. W. Rich
ardson, a distinguished observer, says:—
“The well-proven fact that alcohol, when
taken into the body, reduces the animal
temperature, is full of the most important
suggestions. It shows that alcohol does not
in any sense act as a supplier of vital heat,
as is commonly supposed, and that it does
not prevent the loss of heat as those imagine
•who take just a drop to keep out the cold.’
It shows, on the contrary, that cold and alco
hol in their effects on the body run closely
together, an opinion most fully confirmed by
the experience of those who live or travel in
cold regions of the earth.
“On the muscular force the very slightest
excess of alcoholic influence is injurious. I
find, by measuring the power of muscle for
contraction in the natural state and under
alcohol, that so soon as there is a distinct
indication of muscular disturbance, there is
also indication of muscular failure; and if I
wished by scientific experiment to spoil for
work the most perfect specimen of a work
ing animal, say a horse, without inflicting
mechanical injury, I could choose no better
agent for the purpose of the experiment than
alcohol. But, alas ! the readiness with which
strong, well-built men slip into general paral
ysis under the continued influence of this
false support, attests how unnecessary it
were to put a lower animal to the proof of
an experiment. The experiment is a custom
and man is the subject.”
Any substance taken into the primae via?,
or digestive apparatus, that reduces.the ani
mal temperature and produces muscular fail
ure, as has been well-proven that alcohol
does, is surely not beneficial, but only inju
rious to the healthy organism in which it is
introduced. Truly, poisons are those mate
rials that are rejected from the vital domain,
and foods are those substances that are usa
ble in the construction and replenishment of
the bodily organs. Alcohol is a non-usable
thing, as has been proven ; a substance which
the living system is obliged to resist and
expel. The depression, want of muscular
power, and disordered condition of the living
system, as results of the use of alcohol, are
the signs of over-worked organs engaged in
the disposition of this poison.
Dr. Markham, of the British Medical Jour
nal, says : “ None of it (alcohol) so far as we
know, is asssimilated or serves the purposes
of nutrition. It is therefore not food in the
eye of science.”
According to my judgment the above facts
conclusively prove that alcohol is neither an
aliment nor a wholesofne drink, and that its
relation to animated life is an abnormal one.
lienee moderation in that which is injurious,
per se, is not good, but is an evil. With this
view of the subject there can be no utility in
the temperate or moderate use of alcoholic
beverages. It is all evil; the good consists
in abstinence. Instead of temperance socie
ties let ns have abstinence societies.

We find, on examination of the Receiver’s Di
gest, the amount of taxable property returned for
the present year to be $1,675,746 00.
We recommend that the Ordinary assess 3$
tenths of one per cent, on the taxable property of
the county for county purposes.
We recommend that the Ordinary be \1 lowed
to use SIOO of the fund now in the hands Nf the
Treasurer for the relief of extreme cases of dis
tressed paupers.
We also recommend that *BOO of the amount as
sessed be used as a pauper fund.
And we hereby request one person from each
District to report to the Ordinary the names and
condition of those who are entitled to pauper fund
in their respective Districts, and ask them to re
commend none but such as are entitled under the
law. The following are those appointed from each
District: Town District, J. L. Elder ; Harris
burg, J. L. Harris ; Minishe’s. Z. W. Hood ; New
Town, T. J. Stapler; Olarkcsborough. Washing
ton Arnold ; Santafee, S. G. Arnold; Chandler's.
L. J. Johnson : House’s, A. A. Hill; Randolph's,
M. T. Sims; Cunningham's. If. C. Appleby;
Miller's, A. M. Chandler; Wilson's, Sanford
Wilson.
The Board of Commissioners of Roads and Rev
enue of the county having, by act of the last Le
gislature, been abolished, and said business being
placed in the hands of the Ordinary, we recom
mend that he be allowed *2OO for attending to the
duties of the same.
We find the public roads of the county to be
generally in good condition, with some exceptions,
and we recommend that the Commissioners of
those roads which have not been worked and put
in good condition, sec that it is done at once.
We find the road near the bridge across the
creek, inside the incorporate limits of the town,
to be in bad condition, and we recommend the
Marshal to have said road put in good order im
mediately.
We also recommend that the Road Commission
ers furnish the Grand Jury with a written report
on the condition of the roads in their respective
Districts The same to be sent in on the first day
of each term of Court.
We recommend that the Ordinary purchase and
furnish to each Overseer of public roads two picks,
and that he hold said Overseers and their succes
sors responsible for the same.
We find the Jail in good order. But the Conrt
House we find to be in bad repair, and too small
for the accommodation and comfort of the people
of this county.
And we recommend, therefore, the building of
anew and more commodious Court House. In
the opinion of this body, by using such material
as may be found suitable in the present building,
and by expending not more than six thousand
dollars in addition thereto, a suitable Court House
can be built.
We further recommend that the six thousand
dollars herein considered necessary, be raised by
issuing county bonds, bearing seven per cent, in
terest in gold. One-fourth of the whole amount
of said bonds to become due in live years after the
same are issued, and one-fourth thereof each suc
ceeding year thereafter. The interest on said
bonds to he due and payable annually.
We also recobunend that our Representatives
in the Legislature urge the passing of a bill by
that body, at the next session, to enable the prop
er county authority to issue said bonds and make
them legal, if such legislation be needed.
We recommend that fifteen dollars be paid to
I). 11. Roberts, L. C., for extra services rendered
the State.
We tender our thanks to his Honor. .Judge Rice,
for his kindness to this body, and also to the So
licitor General for bis kindness and courtesy.
We recommend that these Presentments be
