WOOL COTTON.-A bale of cotton,
such as has never been seen in this
market bef>re by the oldest cotton
buyer, was received yesterday by
iMessrs. Oates Bros., from Isaac Har
ris, Esq., of Mooresville, Iredell coun
ty. It is of the exact texture of wool,
a~nd is greasy, and feels to the tou'h
just as wool; it has almost no staple
at all, and while certainly a species of
this staple, has very few of its qualities.
Bandeful of it have been brought
here before by farmers, among whom
it is known as vegretable wool cotton,
but this is the~first bale ever seen
here. It has no merchantable value
iu this market, aud will be shipped by
Messrs. Oates Brothers to Philadel
phia. Mr. Harris expects to realize a
large price for it, but cotton men here
doubt if he will be able to do this,
since rhe growth cannot be adapted to
the uses to which either cotton or
wool, strictly speaking, is applied. It
is so far from being~ cotton that no
classification can be found for it, and
it is just as far from being wool.

State Executive Committee.
According to call, the State Execu
tive Committee met in Columbia on
the 22d, and a resolution was adopted
to call a State Convention on Thurs
day, the 4th of May, to appoint dele
gates to the National Democratic Con
vention, and to take such other action
as they would see fit and proper. The
Committee advises that the connties
appoint delegates to attend the Con
vention some time in April.
The County Chairmen met the
Comfinittee on the next day. The
prospects of the organization accord
ing to their representations are bright
and cheering.
The Bills of the Bank of the
State.
By a recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Col
lectors are compelled. to receive the
Bills of the Bank of the State for
taxes. The 16th Section of the origi
nal Charter, granted in 1812, con
tained what is called the tax contract
making the bills receivable, for taxes.
Both Courts, State and Federal, held
that the bills and notes of the said
corporation issued before the repeal of
the said section were receivable in the
payment of taxes. The Supreme
Court of the State held that the 16th
Section was repealed by implication in
1843, and that the State was not
bound to receive in payment of taxes
notes which had been issued subse
quent to that time. The Supreme
Court of the United States reversed
this decision and held that the 16th
Section containing the tax contract
could be repealed only by exp'licit de
laration to that effect, which was not
done until September, 1868, when an
act was passed which in its 4th See.
tion directly repealed all acts an 1 parts
of acts which rendered the bills re
,eivable in payment of taxes. Al]
bills issued previous to September,
1868, must, therefore, be received in
payment of taxes.
Organization.
There seems to be no question how~
of the necessity for all good and hon
est men in the State to organize as
Democrats. The time is opportune,
and there should be no backwardness
on the part of any man in the exercise
of the duty he owes to the State.
The issue has been forced upon us by
the demagogues of the Republican
party, and it would be the stupidest ol
blunders if advantage is not taken of
the chance offered in' the present as
pect of affairs. The best men in the
Republican party acknowledge that an
error was committed when Moses and
Whipper were elected, and Governor
Chamberlain admitted "that the grav
est consequences would follow to them,
and that the immediate effect would
be the reorganization of the Demo.
cratic party, as the only means left for
opposing a sohid and reliable front tc
this terrible crevasse of misgovernment
and public debauchery." That this
misgiving was not without reason i
seen in the unanimity of feeling shown
by the honest people of the State tc
rise in their strength and natural dig
nit, and determine to make the effort
to break up a bad government and
give us a good one. And the outlook
gives reaeon able hope of success, but
it cannot be realized without strong
and united effort on the part of all,
and a total sacrifice of personal inter
ests or selfish ends. Let "the solid
and reliable front" be erected and
maintained.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston News and Courier
says in regard to the color line:
I have read with much interest Mr
John Russell Young's letter on South
Carolina politics, and tbough it is not
perhaps, within my province to dis
cuss it here, I venture to say a few
words with reference to his concluding
paragraphs. I aequit Mr. Young ol
any intention of being unfair, but as
a dweller in the South in the days o1
slavery and also of reconstruction,]
an testify that he has misunderstooc
and consequently misrepresented the
Southea people. Mr. Young thinks
that if the Southern people had noi
drawn and maintained the color line
instilled poison into the freedwen s
car and inflamed his mind against his
former master. The Southern people,
impoverished by the war, excluded
from office, and being under the ban
of proscription, were powerless in the
matter. They could only sit patiently,
and await the passing away of the
carpet-btg plague, the return of reason
to the blinded and misguided black
nan, and the dawn cf a brighter day
for their section. In the States where
they have regained power their first
efforts have been directed to breaking
down the color line, by recognizing
the results- of the war, which have in
vested the colored man with citizen
ship. There certainly has been no
I proscription on their part, and before
they were proscribed themselves.
These facts were seen and recognized
by Mr. Charles Nordhoff, who had
more extended opportunities for ob
servation than Mr. Young could have
in a flying visit to South Carolina, and
whose recently published book on
"The Cotton States" must do much
towards enlightening the Northern
people with regard to the real condition
of the South.

A CARD.
To TInE CITIZENs OF NEWBEREY C. .
Deeply sensible of the important services
rendered by you in checking the confiagra
tion~ on Saturday night, 26th February,
186, and saving my dwelling house, I take
pleasure in returning you my sincere thanks.
To the Hook and Ladder Company for
their efficiency and determined pluck in
the discharge of their duties, I extend the
same. To the colored citizens I am under
many obligations for their untiring zeal,
industry, and interest manifested in subdu
ing the fiames..eThe colored citizens are a
host at a fire and work like beavers. I
might particularize, but to do so, where
there were so many working souls would be
invidious. I must say, nevertheless, in the
moving out of the furniture and exposure
there was nothing of any consequence lost
or taken. In conclusion, I cannot keep
from remarking that if the colored and the
white citizens could work as harmoniously
and as united for the organizattion of a
good government as at a fire, they might
estatulh one of which they would be justly
proud, and under the shelter of which they
could safely repose.
Respectfully,'
THOS. P. SLIDER.
