ho KScslevn 'Dcmoctrai, CSharloiic, STlCS. The Western Democrat W. J. YATES, Editor asd Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, N. C. February 4, 1868. Register in Bankruptcy. We are gratified to learn that an additional Reg ister in Daukruptcy has been appointed for this (the Cth) Congressional District Col. A. W. Shaffer has received the appointment, and is to reside at Char lotte. Any one in this Congressional District desir ing to take the benefit of the Baukruptlaw can apply to either Col. Shaffer at Charlotte, or to Mr Broad field at Salisbury. The appointment of Col. Shaffer at Charlotte will be of great convenience to the people of the surround ing counties. The counties composing this Congressional District are Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Rowan, Iredell, Davie, Yadkin, Wilkes, Alexander, Catawba, Lincoln Cleavelatid and Gaston. Important to Retailers. A notice from the Mayor of Charlotte will be found in our advertising columns in regard to retailing spirituous liquors, den. Canny has left the matter with the City authori ties, and persons who want to retail must apply to them and give the required bond. Those who violate the law will be dealt with as the City law requires and as (Jen. Canby's orders direct. The Mayor is instructed to enforce the law. We learn that J-'. W. Ahrens of Charlotte, has been appointed U. S. Commissioner for this Congres sional District. A good selection. The Convention. During the past week nothing of an important character was finally acted on. The various com mittees to prepare the Constitution have not all re ported yet. The committees on the Bill of Rights and the Executive Department have reported and final action will be taken this week. A committee has reported a Relief Ordinance, which will be found in the Convention proceedings, it stays the collection of all debts contracted previous to the 1st May, 18(-3. We think this Ordinance will be adopted. A resolution has been introduced to appoint a com mittee to prepare a list of persons who ought to be relieved from the disability imposed by the llecon btructiou Acts. Bankruptcy. In answer to numerous inquiries on the subject (says the Raleigh Standard) wc would t-tate for the information of correspondents and others, that the following exemption is made for the benefit of the bankrupt, viz : "Provided hotrrvcr. That there shall be excepted from operation of the provisions of this section The necessary household and kitchen furniture, and such other articles and necessaries of such bank rupt as the said assignee shall designate and set apart, having reference in the amount to the family, condition, ami circumstances of the bankrupt, but altogether not to exceed in value, in any case, the hum of five hundred dollars; And also the wearing apparel of such bankrupt, and that of his wife and children ; And the uniform, arms, and equipments of any per son who is or has been a soldier in the militia or in the service of the United States ; And such other property as now is, or hereafter shall he exempted from attachment, or seizure, or levy on execution by the laws of the United States; And such other property not included in the fore going exceptions as is exempted from levy and sale upon execution or other process, or order of any court ly the laws of the State in which the bankrupt has his domicile at the time of the commencement of the proceedings in bankruptcy, to an amount not ex ceeding that allowed by such State exemption laws in force in theycar eighteen hundred and sixty-four." Under the exemption of the State laws, the bank rupt is entitled to the benefit of the homestead act, ratified February 10th, 18"j9, which' establishes a freehold homestead, not to exceed in value five hun dred dollars. And in addition io this he is also en titled to the usual cxeji'ptiotis provided for in the Revised code. All these taken together, will amount to about twelve hundred dollars. Jfcaf" In addition to the above remarks of the Stand anl, we will state, on the authority of a prominent lawyer, that Judgments obtained in our Courts pre vious to the filing of a petition for bankruptcy, must be satisfied in full out of the property of the bank rupt. Therefore the necessity of persons filing their petitions before a judgment is obtained against them. In order for a bankrupt to obtain the benefit of the provisions of the State Homestead law of 18o8-'9, he must have first applied to the County Court, and had the homestead set apart by order of the Court, and due notice given. The Homestead Act of lo8-'9 pro vides that the Courts of l'lcas and Quaiter Sessions shall, upon the petition of thn owner of real estate, cause to be laid oft" and allotted to the petitioner, by metes and bounds, a homestead not exceeding five hun dred dollars in value; and it further provides "that the homestead or house ami lot so laid oft" shall not he subject to execution for any debts contracted or cause of action arising after- the same is registered, except for State and County taxes." So, those who have not complied with the State Homestead Act in this respect, cannot now get the benefit of it in taking advantage of the Bankrupt Law. Republican State Convention. Got. Holden, Chairman of the Republican State'Coiuinittee, calls a Convention of the party to meet in Raleigh on Wed nesday the 20th day of February, 1808, to nominate candidates for State offices, and to perform such other duties as may be deemed advisable. Lxn Agency. Wc refer the reader to the adver tisement of Hon. D. W. Courts of Rockingham county, N. C, and Gen. J D Imboden of Virginia, offering their services to sell Lands, Mills, Mines, Furnaces, Water-Powers, &c. Everybody in this State knows Mr Courts (the late Tublic Treasurer of the State.) He will act fairly, and promptly transact any business entrusted to him. i m JBjsy TheJSouth Carolina Convention has not vet done much in the way of forming a Constitution. The members have voted themselves $11 per dav, Slate money ($1 of South Carolina currency is woith about 75 cents in National currency.) Gen. Canby has ordered the State Treasurer to furnish the funds for paying members, but whether he will do it remains to be seen. In the Convention several efforts have been made to pass resolutions asking Congress to loan the State money for t he relief of the people planters especially New Advertisements.

' The Pay Question, The proceedings of the Convention show that the Public Treasurer of this State, Mr Battle, has de cided that he cannot (consistent with his obligations) pay the members of the Convention out of the funds now in the Treasury. We have much confidence in Mr Battle's judgment and disposition to do right, but we regret that he de cided not to use the money now in the Treasury to pay the expenses of the Convention, for if that money is not bo used, a special tax will be collected from the people for the purpose; and the people are not able to pay additional taxes at this time. In fact, a few members have shown a disposition to force the Convention to levy a tax to defray its expenses so as to cast as much odium on the body as possible. But we do not believe that such feelings influence Mr Battle he is ready to perform his duty when he is satisfied that he will be justified by law and his obli gations as a public officer. This disposition is mani fested in the concluding portion of Mr Battle's com munication to the Convention, as follows: "In respectfully declining to obey the order of this Convention, I beg leave to assure them that nothing but a strong sense of duty could induce me to take an antagonistic position towards them. In all cases practicable, it will give me great pleasure to co-operate with them, and to give all the aid in my power towards furthering the best interests of the State." The Convention has requested Gen. Canby to issue an order to Mr Battle, requiring him to pay the members with the money now in the Treasury. In the meantime the Convention passed a resolu tion to borrow ten thousand dollars to meet present demands. The Conventions of South Carolina and Florida have authorized the levying of a direct tax to pay their expenses. Histories of the late Wah. Wc have hereto fore cautioned the public against purchasing histories of the late war by interested and prejudiced writers; and especially the book of E. A. Pollard, called the "Lost Cause." We are confirmed in the correctness of this caution by reading an article in the February number of the Land wc Love, by Gen. D. II. Hill, headed "The Lost Despatch," Pollard's book accuses Gen. D. II. Hill of being responsible for affording Gen. McClellan and the Federal army important in formation because Gen. Hill, in a fit of passion, threw a dispatch of Gen. Lee on the ground, which was af terwards picked up by a Federal soldier and com municated to Gen. McClellan. Gen. Hill, in an ar ticle containing incontrovertible testimony, shows that Pollard has slandered him in the grossest man ner, and that his statements in regard to the matter are destitute of truth. No southern man, who sym pathises with the brave men from all the Southern States who fought in the .Confederate armies, ought to encourage such a miserable one-sided history as Pollard's book. Superior Court Union County. The Extra Term of Union Superior Court was held last week by Judge Shipp. In consequence of bad weather and bad roads, the Judge did not reach Monroe till about 1 o'clock on Tuesday, but as soon as dismounting from his horse he went into the Court House and opened Court, and labored faithfully during the week to clear the Docket of the large number of civil cases which had accumulated. Notwithstanding the bad weather, there was a larger attendance than -.c ever saw before, and we had the pleasure of seeing many old and valued friends. Our subscribers and customers in Union county always did pay us promptly, and although there is general complaint of the scarcity of money, they met their obligations this year as well as wc could expect. Our friend, J. E. W. Austin, has opened a new Hotel in Monroe, and our experience will justify us in saying that it is well kept. Some idea may be formed of the condition of the roads in this section when we state that we usually travel from Charlotte to Monroe in four hours, but last week it took about a day and a half to go the distance. We are indebted to our friend, Robert Grier, Esq., for a night's entertainment and much kind attention while on the road. Jf&ay Our Northern friends don't seem to care how much negro equality is forced upon Southern white people, but they themselves are unwilling to endure it in its slightest forms. The following dispatch tells how "our Northern friends" punish negroes who follow the advice and teachings of members of Con gress, Military Commanders, &c. : Indianapolis, (Indiana,) Jan. SO. A negro was fined $2,000 and sentenced to two years imprison ment for marrying a white woman. Wonder what was done with the miserable "white woman. A Murder Trial, The Statesville American gives the following notice of a trial which took place at Iredell Superior Court week before last : "A Court of Oyer and Terminer. Judge Shipp pre siding, was opened for the county of Iredell, at this place, Monday of last week. The case of Thomas Dula, charged with the murder of Laura Foster, was called on Tuesday. More than a hundred witnesses were summoned by the State, most of whom were present, and their examination occupied three day. The Solicitor, Mr W. P. Caldwell, was aided by Messrs. Boyden and Clements, and the accused was defended by Gov. Vance and Messrs. Furches and Allison. The pleadings began Friday afternoon and were concluded the following evening, when the Judge gave his charge and the case went to the Jury. The murder was committed in the county of Wilkes, some eighteen months ago, where the parties resided, and the trial removed to Iredell; and, at the follow ing term of our Superior Court, Dula was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and a new trial granted. The Jury retired and in a short, while returned with a verdict "Guilty Dula was sentenced to be hanged on the second Friday in February. An ap peal was then applied for and granted to the Supreme Court now in session; with little hope, however, for a new trial. The prisoner was ably defended by his counsel. The address of Gov. Vance to the Jury was ingenious, eloquent, and distinguished for legal lore of the highest grade; but failed to inspire the minds of the Jury with a 'reasonable doubt.'" The Salisbury North State gives the following statement of the case : "Thomas Dula, a young man of about twenty-five years of age, is charged with the murder of Miss Laura Foster. And Ann Melton is arraigned as ac cessory. It appears from the evidence that in May 1800, Laura Foster arose from her bed in her father s house, about an hour before day, and taking her father's horse, which was tied that night near the door, traveled some few miles on a road to a place to which the horse was tracked, and near which her body was subsequently found in the woods. Dula and Mrs. Melton were absent from their homes the night on which Laura Foster left her father's, and were seen next morning in the neighborhood of the place where the body of Laura Foster was found buried. It is charged that Mrs Melton ' was jealous of the attentions paid Laura Foster by Dula, and therefore aided and abetted in the murder. The in cidents, as developed before the jury, were of the most thrill ng character." The Bureau of Statistics reports the number of immigrants since 1861 at 1,500,000. The number of inland passengers, not immigrants, i during the same time, was 250,000, New Jury Order. "We learn, from the Charleston News, that Gen. Canby has issued a new and important jury or der, materially different from the one heretofore in force, in South Carolina, and more liberal in its previsions. An important improvement made by General Canby on his former orders is that jury lists in the future are only to comprehend all male citizens who have paid taxes within twelve months preceding ; and, further, that a Judge may Bet aside any juror for personal un fitness by reason of intellectual disqualifications. The Court of Common Pleas and General Ses sions are also invested with new privileges. The law in relation to tenants referred to, au thorizes any magistrate in the case of any ten ant at will or under contract, who shall refuse or neglect to quit the premises occupied by him when required, or upon the expiratiouof the con tract letting the same to require the tenant to show cause why he should not be ejected, and if no sufficient cause be shown, then to cause the said tenant to be ejected at once. The order applies only to the State of South Carolina; but we publish the substance of it, as above, as an evidence of an improved spirit of liberality on the part of Gen Canby; and under the impression that a similar change will be made in the jury order of this State. Wilmington Star. ' Davidson College. The Trustees and friends of Davidson College will be gratified to learn that there are now fifty students on the ground, and that the number is daily increasing. The present h reshman class is probably larger than any previous one even in the palmy days before the war. It consists al ready of twenty-seven members, and several oth ers are expected to arrive soon. The means of living are so abundant and cheap in the thickly settled neighborhoodt around the College, that all the advantages of the most liberal education may be obtained at less expense than the charges of almost any country school. Candidates for the ministry find here peculiar advantages, as in ad dition to the low price of board (814 a month) no charge is made in their case for tuition and roomrent. A". C. Presbyterian. An Attempt to Escape Jail. A ridi culous effort wss made, on Friday night last, to get a white man, named John Staton, confined in jail here, (awaiting the action of the authori ties of Union for his transfer to that county to be tried for some minor offence,) out without the proper papers. On the night mentioned his wife, a very young woman, and her brother, were allowed to visit him. "While the jailor was ab sent an effort was made to remove Statou's beard. His wife then effected an exchange of clothing with him, sufficient it was thought for him to pass for her. All being ready the jailor was called to let the xcife and her brother out of the prisoner's room. As the female passed out i nto the light the jailor discovered that die had more beard than females usually have, although an efl'oit was made to hide the face, and said litop, John!" John did stop, and turning his head over his shoulder, remarked to his wife, who was in the room in his ' long togs," ''Didn't I tell you they'd find me out," and quietly turned and walked back. After another exchange of cloth ing the true Mrs. S. was turned out to go home and brood over her disappointment. Wudcsboro Irgus. The Wilmington. Star denies the rumor that the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad is in the hands of a "receiver for the benefit of its creditors." It says that Mr H. M. Drane was appointed receiver under a decree of court, giving judgment in favor of only one creditor, whose claim amounted to about ten thousand dollars. Mr Drane hrs nothing whatever to do with the operations of the road, and, when the earn ings cancel the debt for which he was appointed receiver, the office expires. Siieriff of Wake County. Webcam that Gen. Canby has appointed Kufus K. Fcrrell, Esq.. Sheriff of Wake County, in place of E. II. llay, Esq., resigned. Raleigh Standard. Horrible Death. The jail at Oxford, Gran ville county, was cousumcd by fire two or three weeks ago. The Henderson Index thinks there is now no doubt that the two negroes confined in the jail were consumed with it. A fellow named Cooper, who had been convicted both by the Superior Court and by Military Commission for the crime of rape, was one of the parties. It is believed that he set fire to the building. He was endeavoring to burn the jail so as to slip the bars of the windows, and thereby effect his es cape. But it took too deep hold, and was past saving, cithci the prisoners or the house, before assistance arrived. The burning of the jail is a severe loss to the people of Granville just at this juncture, as it was one of the best in the State. It cost, we learn, about $10,000. The Supreme Court Bill. The New York World has a masterly dissection of the iniquitous bill, destroying the appellate jurisdic tion of the Supreme Court. It says, in conclusion: "This scandalous bill, if passed, will thorw the McCardlc case out of Court, and bar the door against the entrance of all similar cases. It is the final step in the stablishment of absolute tyranny. The last hope of redress from any sort of governmental agency is about to vanish. But as hope sinks in one direction it rises like an effulgent dawn in another, and sets the whole heavens in a blaze. In this bill Congress furn ishes the Democratic party with a rousing elec tioneering document which will be borne on the wings of all the winds to every habitation be tween the two oceans. It will be scattered broadcast over all the prairies; it will ascend all the valleys whose winding streams the workman's axe has opened to the sun. Wherever in all this broad land there arc voters to be influenced, this dying spoeeh and confession of the Repub lican party will be read and execrated. The party confesses that it is a fugitive from justice. It confesses that its neck is not safe within the precincts of a court. It shuns the -face of a judge like a thief. It admits that it has mur dered the Constitution. It is in a fair way to commit suicide to save itself from the sentence of the law. Its guilty conscience has saved the Supreme Court the trouble of pronouncing its condemnation, by anticipating the duty of the Court and passing sentence on itself." Accidental Death. We are sorry to an nounce the death of the wife of 31r Henry Let sou, which occurred on Sunday night, at Ches ter, under very painful circumstances. She fell out of the bed, and being quite a large woman, fractured her skull on the wash-board, which produced instant death. YorkviHe Enquirer, i v w Sudden Death. We learn with extreme pain and sorrow that the Rev. J. P. Morris, of the South Carolina Conference, died very sud denly in Darlington yesterday. He was a native of Canada, had but recently joined the Confer ence, and gave promise of great usfulnees. CJutrav Advertiser, Zbth u& Washington Items. The Supreme Court is equally divided in the ease of John K. Elgee's administrator, plaintiff, in' error, and alarmed thereby the judgment of the lower court, with costs. This case involved the virtue of a pardon in restoring property. The case came from the . United States Court of Missouri, where Elgee's administrator sued the Treasury agent for cotton seized in Louisiana. - ; The President has nominated J. Ross Brown Minister to China; Wm. D. Bishop of Connec ticut, Commissioner of Patents; and Thos. Price of New Jersey, Consul-General of Havana. The bill regulating impeachments provides that two-thirds of the Senate may suspend the accused during his trial. T. H. Harmon, a Bureau agent, who stole a sum of money at Lake Providence,' La., has been arrested at Charleston and goes to New Orleans ironed. Most of the money was recovered, and will be refunded to the proper claimants. The Supreme Court to-day decided that in case of necessity , the captain of a vessel can sell her in a foreign port. Mr Hubbard introduced in the House on Mon day a joint resolution, (which was referred to the committee on appropriations,) fixing the compen sation of Senators," members, and delegates to Congress, from and after the 4th of March, 1868, at $4,000, and mileage at the rate of ten cents per mile; provided that the compensation of the Speaker be $7,000 per annum. m 1 A Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Sun says : "There have been received here by Republi can members of Congress such vigorous protests of liepuohcan constituents against the last re construction bill adopted by the Reconstruction Committee, forbidding adjudication by the Su preme Court in causes arising under the recon struction acts, that it is not believed the com mittee will urge the bill on the House, and from authentic sources it is learned that the proposed measure will be reconsidered by the committee and ignored. Democratic members say they prefer to have the bill tested by a vote in the House, and let the result go to the people in the coming contest for President." Gen. Grant's Conduct. The partisans of Gen. Grant have resorted to every manner of ex pedient in order to relieve him from the crush ing effects of the exposure of his conduct towards the President of the United States, and his par ticipation in the trick f reinstating Stanton in the War Department. All these efforts have only served to complicate the General more seriously, and to put him in a position which no soldier should desire to occupy. From whom did Gen. Grant receive the ap pointment of Secretary of War ad interim; and who had the power to confer it 't There is but one answer possible, because the appointment could only come from the Executive. Gen. Grant had no official connection whatever with the Senate. His relation was exclusively with the President; and when he clandestinely aban doned the office which the President had volun tarily confided to his honor, in order to ideutify himself with a partisan conspiracy, he betrayed his trust into the hands of those who contrived that base proceeding. There is no escape from this conclusion, whatever may be thought of his conduct in volunteering to give the . President notice and then failing to redeem his promise. Washington Rational Intelligencer. Georgia. In the Convention, a resolution was introduced asking Congress to loan the des titute planters of the South $30,000,000, to be secured by mortgage. Seven sections ofthe bill of rights were adopted. Gov. Jenkins has served notices on Gen. Ru- ger, Capts. Rockwell and Wheaton, that he files a bill in Supreme Court, on the 7th of February, enjoining the use of money belonging to the State of Georgia. CHARLOTTE MARKET, February 3, 1868 Corrected bt SxExnousB, Macaulay & Co. Cotton Last Monday the market opened firm at 11 J cents for middling, purchaser paying tax, and advanced steadily to 18J cents, being the closing quotation on Saturday an advance of , nearly two cents during the week the Liverpool and New York markets up to this date remaining firm. Sales for the week G12 bales. The estimate of three million bales for the present crop being now found to be too high, it is thought that the present advance will be maintained. Flour remains at about last week's quotations $5.65 to $5.85 per sack. Corn The market is bare, and readily commands $1.15 to $1 18 per bushel from wagons. Corn Meal, $1.20 to $1.25.

Business during the past week was generally good, considering the almost impassible condition of the roads. Groceries generally unchanged. Dry Goods slightly advanced. North Carolina Land Agency.

In the House, Mr Elliott reported a bill, continuing the Freedman's Bureau. The resolutions, withdraw ing the assent of Ohio to the Howard Amendment, were presented. The Judiciary Committee was in structed to report on the law question involved. In the Senate, Ohio's withdrawal of assent to the Howard Amendment, created quite a sensation. Reverdy Johnson agreed, with others, that the assent could not be withdrawn. It is stated that the Chairman of the Senate Ju diciary Committee is adverse to immediate report on the Supreme Court bill. Gov.. Worth.
