Cou.ii Government has been

.promineuti. issue,u, ery. polittcai.hcampaign in North Carolina for the

:ipast twelve years, and the present

f system has been, approved .by thejjpeople at every electheld dunngj-- that period. The question is atrain

presented to them, "Will you con- -

ttiinue it or return to tbe canny-- system s e say uu,n)ecauseitwasfincedupoa thepeo -

:,ple of North Carolina by the ordeisof Gen. Canby, who at that (iu

.1808) was the military commander.

or dictat or, in this State. Ever since

$forth Carolina became a State for

' nearly onerhtni&red yearsand untilfee was treated as

.'province by a military dictator, the'county affairs of every county were

ontenaged by magistrates appointed'by the Legislature. "This By stem-- was tried by our forefathers for nearly

--one hundred years aud gavesatisfaction. But when the negroes

."were ; enfranchised, it was suddenlyidincovered lhat the system of county

:, government, which had given entiresatisfaction to the white r people of.North Carolina' 'for a hundred years

--aifd'was good enough for them, wasgood enough for these enfranchis-

ed negroes! Accordingly, in l86S,theelection of thse efficers was taken

away from tWLt-gislatur- e and.givento the people. Was the ebauge bene

nciall Who 'Qrftes to say it was?No indeed, for on the contrary many

x)f the best counties in the State werewell nigh ruined by it In faanycounties tho sngroes 'outnumberedthe whites and thus controlled thetnanagement of their county affairs,aud their management, or rathermismanagement, was notoriously ndOutrageously corrupt &ad 'extrava- -

.jgant. High taxes Were levied, and,when collected, were squandered oretolen. Connty orders were almostworthless, in eveiy one of these negr-

o-ridden counties being sold formuch less than their par value. Sooutrageous ami unbearable did thismismanage xf afiairB

become, that finally in 1876 an amend- -

' inent to the constitution was pro-

posed to give back to the Legisla-ture the appointment of tbe tniagis-trate- s

and to the system which&ad given such satisfaction for anhundred year3. This amendment

raa ratified by the ipeojpie by neai ly15,000 majority, and baa been ap-

proved by them at every .electionsince 1876.

Now the question is shall we dis-

approve of it and.return to the Canbyy stem t We ask tarery honest w hi le

man to answer this.question candidly,"Which system bas been more bene-

ficial to North Carolina ?" W ven-

ture the assertion that more money

was stolen or squandered during the. eight years the Canby system,

than during the hundred years before

its adoption and the twelve years

aiuoeits repeal!It Is true that in Chatham and in

nearly all the middle and western

counties, wherein Uie wniiea wt-uui-

ber the blacks, tho benefit and neces

sity of tbe present system are. not so

gral as in tbe eastern counties

Therefore 6ome may say,

In these' day h

where tt thousand Argus eyed moneykings are watching the markets for T.all they are worth, such an achieve-

ment though conceived in rascalityfairlv earned for ths you4ig- - plungerthe sobriquet of the Napoleon of thestreet.

Grace to Governor Hill, printed inthe Star. Mayor Grace makes nobones of saying that Governor 'Hill'srecord ought to preclude the possi-bility of his reuomiuatiou. Mr. Gracehimself bs been mentioned rathermore prominently than any one elseas a very likely successor to the Governorship, ati this very frank avowalot his has stiried the political'"watersto their very depths.

The excitement is accentuated bythe rumblings of disorder in the ranksof the County Democracy. For tVjrys"
