tSTK'e H&eeievn )cmoemJ, (SHarfoift, The Western Democrat W. J. VATKS, hiuToa amu Propbi etor. CHARLOTTE, N. C. April 21, 1868. The Election. The vote on the Constitution and for State officers commences Tuesday the 21st, and will continue for three days. The excitement in the State has been intense fr the last few weeks, and we presume that both parties will put forth their.bcst exertions. We have heretofore stated our objections to the Confu tation and why we thought it ought to be rejected, but we have not participated in the excitement in cident to the campaign because we believed it would not have a tendency to defeat the objectionable meas ure or do good in any way. No one can foretell the result, but whatever may happen let all good citizens keep cool and be prepared to submit to circumstances over which they have no controlling influence. Let thoHe who have to live here in the South, or expect to do ho, use their influence to promote good feeling, peace and prosperity among the people generally. Many of us are compelled by circumstances to re main here, and the well-being of not only men, but ot women and children, demands that peace shall prevail rather than strife, turmoil, cou fusion, and anarchy. For our own part, we can say that we are fully identified with the people of the South in every way that a man can be our interests, and all that we have arc here and we intend to remain in the South and stand up for what we consider right, just and 'iiiitable, no matter what happens, or who may be dissatisfied. Kike. On Sunday night, about 2 o'clock, the Steam Grist Mill of Mr Pinkney Eerryhill, situated on the opposite side of the Railroad from Mr Ruda iir Machine Works, was consumed by fire. We learn that Mr Berryhill saj-s there had been no fire about the building for several days previous. The Militauy Rkti knkd. The most of our citi zens were a little surprised on Saturday morning lust, to find a Company of V. S. soldiers in the city and quartered at the Fair Grounds. The Company is under command of that excellent officer, Major Lazelle, who formerly had charge of this Post for two years The reason for garrisoning this place again is unknown to us, but we presume that no one has any objections, as the citizens generally desired that the troops should remain when they were here before, especially if commanded by such gentlemanly an I fair officers as Ma j. Lazelle and his Lieutenants. Chain CJaxu The County Court last week au thorized the establishment of a Chain Gang, in which convicts arc to be placed and made to work out the penalty for evil behaviour. This is proper, for it is not right to require tax-payers to pay for the board f criminals iu jail, who, by their bad conduct, incur the inflictions of the law. Since whipping has been abolished, some mode must be adopted to impose punishment, livery good citizen ought to endorse the action of our county authorities. A Nuisance. We hope our City authorities will hereafter arrest every man who comes here and bawls and squalls on tho streets (and at the Public Square especially) try in? to deceive the ignorant by offering for sale some s irt of medicine to cure all the ills that flesh is heir to. There was a young man here last week, trying to sell a pain-killer who ought to have been arrested and made to go to work or leave the city. We re spectfully ask our city authorities to abate such nuisances hereafter. In tact, we do not think it right to permit sales on the streets of goods, furniture or medicines. Our merchants and business men have to pay house rent, taxes, &c , and it is not fair to permit peddlers, auc tioneers, or any one else, to use the streets and side walks for purposes for which others have to rent houses. An auctioneer ought to rent a house in which to do business and store his goods, furniture, kc Place all on a fair and equal footing. That is the practice in other towns and cities of any impor tance, and we are sure that Charlotte is now a place of no small importance. We believe that the most of our citizens will agree with us in the above remarks; and wc hope our au thorities will think about the matter. Wil. A Max. Raim:oai. The pecuniary affairs of the Wilmington an l Manchester Railroad appear to be in a very bad condition. A portion of the Road has been sold by the Sheriff of Darlington District, S. C., and the purchaser gives notice in the Wilming ton Journal that unless a satisfactory arrangement i made with him he will remove the iron from the Road between Florence and the Marion line. CoritTS SrsrEMEi. It will be seen by an order from Gen. Canby, published in another column, that the sessions of all State Courts occurring this week are suspended until after the election. The reason unsigned for this temporary suspension is to give all an opportunity to vote. This was entirely unneces sary, as it is well known that the holding of Court d..es mt and cannot prevent any man from voting lio , ints to do so Gen Canby evidently knows nothing about the usages, practices and customs of the people of North Carolina. tkXf During the war Gen. Grant issued an order which cast suspicion on the Hebrews, and probably designated them as a class not to be trusted. There fore, the Hebrews in several States have held meet ings and resolved not to support Gen. Grant .for President under any circumstances. They are right, for if a Republican is to be made President, we fhould prefer a man with brains and good sense, with which articles Gen. Grant is not overburdened. . JCsS?

A Military Court It wUJ be seen bybe following order of General Canby that he has established a Provost Court at Raleigh, for several counties, (including Mecklen burg, Union, Cabarrus and Iredell,) to try civil cases in which the amount does not exceed three hundred dollars, and some other cases. CoL John T. Deweese, of Raleigh, is sole Judge. We cannot understand why General Canby has thought proper to establish such a Court at Raleigh to try cases arising in counties 175 and 200 miles off. So far as we have been able to ascertain, the law has ben fairly administered in this and adjoining counties by the civil officers, and it cannot be con sidered otherwise than unfair and unjust to require persons to incur the expense of traveling to Raleigh to settle disputes before a Court where one rwn is the Judge and Jury. But such is military rule. It may be that the foolish talk about the "Ku Klux Klan" has caused Gen. Canby to issue an edict which imposes inconvenience on our people, if nothing more serious. Here is the frder. Headquarter? Second Military District, Charleston, S. C, April 8, 1808. Special Orders, No. 83. I. A Provost Court is hereby constituted at Ral eigh, North Carolina, for the counties of Warren, Franklin, Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Cumberland, Robeson, Richmond, Moore, Chatham, Orange, Gran ville, Caswell, Alamance, Person, Rockingham, Guil ford, Randolph, Montgomery, Anton, Union, Stanly, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Iredell, Rowan, Davie, Davidson, Surry, Stokes, Forsythe and Yadkin, North Carolina, with jurisdiction, as restricted by paragraph II, of General Orders, No. 18, current scries, from these Headquarters, of all civil cases arising within the limits of that Post, in which the amount iu controversy does not exceed three hundred (300) dollars ; and of all offenses, not under the Articles of War, which may be referred to it by the Post Commander, except murder, manslaughter, as sault with intent to kill, violation of the laws against dueling, perjury, rape and arson.

By command of Bvt. Maj Gen. Canby. Loins Y. Caziakc, Aide-de-Camp. Congress and the Impeachment Trial. Except the impeachment trial, nothing is trans piring in Washington of any importance. The trial of the President occupies the attention of both Houses of Congress the members of the Senate as the Court, and the Representatives as spectators So far, no evidence sufficient to justify the conviction of the President has been elicited, and although corres pondents say there is a fixed determination to find him guilty, we think it very doubtful. Last week, testimony in behalf of the President was introduced. Gen. Sherman was on the stand, but the prosecution, represented by Butler, objected to so much of his testimony, that nothing of impor tance was ascertained. One of the President's counsel, Mr Stanberry, was unable to attend the trial last week, owing to sick ness, and some delay was caused thereby. Mr Butler made a speech against delay and urged the prompt removal of the President, declaring that the South was suffering great horrors in the present uncertain condition of affairs. The telegraph gives the follow ing notice of Mr Butler's speech : 'Butler made a harangue against delay, say ing that during this delay Union men were mur dered daily throughout the South; treasury offi cials were selling gold below and buying bonds above the market, thereby putting money into their pockets, and characterized that as the last act of the war in which thousands wore killed, aud remonstrated against delay onJais last ac count on account of the sickuess of an attorney. Butler exhibited a note he had received, telling him that the avenger was abroad, lie denied be ing scared, quoting a Scotch proverb that "a threatening dog was safe." OR TUE CHARLOTTE 1UJMOCRAT. Concord, April 14th, 18G0. Mr. Ehitor: I understand that it is currently reported in your city and county that I have had a difficulty recently with a Mr John Wiuecoff of this county, aud during the difficulty, used the following language, viz : "1 am a Radical, and glory in it. 1 am one because I wish to see you Southerners brought to a level with the negroes." I have never had a difficulty w ith Mr Winecoff, and have never uttered or entertained such sentiments as are attributed to me in the closing sentence of the above. I am a Republican from honest convictions. 1 believe the State can be carried back iuto the Union by that party alone, and that her interest iu every way de mands her speedy restoration. Yours respectfully, J. McDoxald. Notice. Wc regret to hear complaints from many of our subscribers that they cannot get their papers regu larly, because the Postmasters, or thoic who have charge at the places of delivery, allow persons to take them out and read them aud carry them off. The Agent of the Post Office Department in this State (Dr. Jobe) recently published a notice to Post masters on this subject, and warned them that they would be held responsible for such conduct, but it has done but little if auy good. A man who takes another's paper without permission from the sub scriber himself, is no better than a man who steals any other kind of property. If we can get the evi dence to justify it, wc will expose such persons and make them pay damages. We beg Postmasters in the country not to permit any one (who is not a sub scriber) to take papers from the office unless he has written permission from the subscriber. ' Virginia Convention. The Convention has fixed the 2nd of J une for submission of the Constitution to the people, and State officers and members of the Legislature and Congress are to be elected at the tame time. The Legislature is to assemble June 24th, if the Constitution is adopted. Most of the day was spent in skirm ishing to modify the iron clad oath of office, at least for county officers, All efforts were defeat ed by a dt cided majority. Immigration from the North. The Virginia papers state that large numbers of Northern farmers are moving into Virginia and buy ing land for the puspose of engaging in agriculture. The Norfolk Journal says that from one county alone, in Pennsylvania, (Franklin,) many settlers hare tome and bought property to the amount of $200,000; and the Journal remarks : "Now is the time for farmers to come and settle among us. Every friend to Virginia ought to desire as many white men to emigrate to his State as possi ble. We want population and wealth. We also want white voters to get us out of the slough into which Radicalism has plunged us and we should remember that every white man we get among us, will not only bring money and labor, but will also bring a Conservative vote. We entreat 'he people of the Northern States not to listen to the stories they see in the Radical papers. They are all gotten up for effect. They wish to keep Virginia in the hands of the negroes, so as to secure the political offices and the plunder. It won't do, however; for the white tide has set in, and wherever that comes, the black tide is turned back. That has been the course of things ever since the beginning of history, whose facts are but repeating themselves in Virginia. With a few more thousand emigrants from the North, or from Europe, the white race in Virginia will be put so far in the ascendancy that there can be no further trouble that can result from the ne groes. These are diminishing anyhow, and with emigration constantly swelling the Caucassian race in Virginia, in a very few years the relative num bers of the negroes will be so very small compared to that of the white race, as to give us no anxiety." We believe that a large immigration to North Caro lina will also soon take place. We have a3 good soil and climate as any in the world, and the day is not far distant when our vast resources will be developed by enterprising white men farmers, mechanics and laborers. Virginia and North Carolina will yet be come leading States in the Union, and, no matter what happens now, their affairs must be finally con trolled and governed by white men. Let us do all we can to encourage white people to settle among us and cultivate our lands. This is a fine country for industrious people, but very bad for lazy men, black or white. This -South-era country must yet flourish and pros per, notwithstanding present adverse appearances. Sergeant Bates and the U. S. Flag. The man dressed in black velvet, who went through this section on foot some weeks ago, carrying a U. S, Flag, arrived in Washington on Tuesday last, sound in body and mind not having received the slightest injury in his journey through the South from any one. The following telegraphic dispatch announces how Serg't Bates was received in Washington. Washington, April 11. Sergeant Bates crossed Long Bridge at 10 o'clock. Mr Eldridgc, Represejuiative from Wisconsin, wel comed Bates in a speech. The weather was unfavor able, but the crowd was very large. Bates wore the jacket and pants presented to him in South Carolina, and sash presented to him in Montgomery, Ala. He carried a horn cup, presented to him by the ladies of Vicksburg, Miss., and his flag. The President met him at the threshold of the Mansion, saying: "All I want to do is to welcome you and your flag." Bates received an entertainment at the White House, and proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he is quartered, and then proceeded to the Capitol, where he failed to secure admittance ! After leaving the Capitol, Bates proceeded to the Washington monument. E. O. Perrin, of Tennessee, spoke, and said that, had Bates carried a negro on his shoulders, from Vicksburg, they would have allowed him to place the negro on the Goddess of Liberty ! An Extraordinary Case. A correspondent of the Raleigh Sentinel, writing from Lenoir, Caldwell county, gives the following ac count of rather an extraordinary case before the Superior Court of Caldwell last week: 'We found the Superior Court in session, (Judge Little presiding,) which, of course, brought together a large number of citizens from all parts of the county. Very little business was done in Court, besides dis posing of a number of cases on the State docket. The one that excited most interest was that of the .State vs. Marion Bean and Wiley Bean, who were charged with the murder of an old man named Jesse Freeman. The unusual interest in this case arose from the fact that the accused were both Deaf-Mutes, and had never enjoyed any of the advantages of an education, although our good old State has supported, for more than twenty years, an institution for the es pecial benefit of this unfortunate class of her citizens. Col. W P. Bynum, Solicitor, and Mr Malone, ap peared for the State, and G. N. Folk for the defendant The prisoners were brought to the bar of the court and arraigned, when the Solicitor suggested that they stood mute by the visitation of God; whereupon a jury was empannelled and the following issues were submitted: 1st. Whether the prisoners are able to plead to the indictment against them. 2d. Whether the prisoners are now sane or not. After the ex amination of several witnesses, eliciting the fact that they were uneducated had no idea of a Supreme Being and that there were no means of communi cating to them the nature of the charges against them, and their rights under the trial, the Solicitor stated that he was satisfied from the precedents in such cases the prisoners could not properly be brought to trial and was willing that the jury should enter a verdict in their favor. He also stated that after the examination of a number of witnesses he was satis fied that there was no evidence sufficient to connect them with the homicide. Col. Folk also made a few remarks, and said he felt it due to his unfortunate client? to state, that if they had been placed on trial he could have proved an "alibi at the time the murder was committed. He did not think that there was one tithe of evidence to convict them of complicity in the homicide. That he considered the order of the Court very proper, that the finding of the jury should be certified to the County Court, in order that steps might be taken for their education and improvement. He felt that so long as society permitted this class of individuals to grow up in ignorance especially when ample pro vision had beeu made for their improvement they certainly could not be held accountable for the viola tion of laws of which they had no knowledge." Georgia. In order that there may be fairness in the approaching election, Gen. Meade directs that the ballot box shall not be opened, nor the votes counted, nor any information of the progress of the election be given, till the polls are closed. After voting is closed, the managers shall elect two men of character from each party, who shall be permitted to be pre seut at the counting of the balhits, so as to wituess and verify such counting. An arrangemcfit of that sort in this State would have afforded general satisfaction, and prevented accusations of fraud. No matter how the election results, complaints will be made of unfairness on the part of managers and voters. The prospect of General Hancock's nomi nation for the Presidency is becoming more and more apparent every day. It is very evident that this gallant son of Pennsylvania has secured a strong hold upon the affections of the Demo cracy, not simply from the fact that in the field he proved himself a brave and skillful soldier,, but that also in the .discharge of his civil duties, while commander of the Fifth district, his states manlike admiuifctratiou of affairs won for him the respect aud admiration of all. We should like to see Hancock pitted against Graut, and the records of tbe two placed side by side. If we are to have a soldier candidate, Hancock is the man. Philadelphia Herald. The North-Western people say that Pendleton of Ohio, is the man. af" Latest Japan advices state that the Meka do had declared war against the Tycoou. Washington Rumors, w e copy the following to let our readers see what startling rumors can be hatched at Wash ington City. The author of this one is a corres pondent of the New York Ilerald, a paper un reliable in every respect and without veracity or principle. We look on it as a mere sensation production: Washington, April 14. Events have oc curred here within the past two or three days which render it certain that the ultimate object of men who are now striving to control the Re publican party in Congress, is to effect an entire change in our republican form of government, aud to submit in its place a dictatorship more absolute and arbitrary than that of Robespierre and the Commune de Paris. The apparent tri unjph of the impeachers on Saturday last, when the Senate, alter giving the broadcast license to the managers in regard to the admission of evi dence against President Johnson, refused to the latter the privilege of examining General Sher man on points vital to the defence, imparted such confidence to the radical conspirators as to tempt them to cast aside all caution and to boast opeuly of their power and of the manner in which they are resolved to exercise it. In the bar-rooms and over the dinner table principles were avowed which under other governments, would speedily consign their exponents to a fel on's cell. The objects of the revolutionists were declared to be the entire overthrow of constitutional re publican government, as a failure, proved to be such by the war of the rebellion and the substi tution in its place of a so-called "Government of the People," under the delusive Jacobin cry of "Liberty and Equality.'1 The means and process by which this end is to be accomplished are set forth as follows : The conviction and removal of Andrew John son, and the installation of Ben Wade in the Presidency for three or four months before the commencement of the next Presidential term. The election of Grant as President and Ren Wade as Vice President and President of the Senate by the aid of martial law iu doubtful States, if necessary. The virtual abolition of the Supreme Court of the United States, by stripping the judiciary of the power to pass upon the constitutionality of any act of Congress relating to reconstruction, or to the business of the government. The extension of the term of office of the President, Graut, the Vice-President Wade, and the present United States Senate to ten years from the 1st of March 1869, on the plea that a constantly recurring change in the government is harmful in the existing condition of the coun try aud was one of the main causes of the late war ot the rebellion. This is the end and aim of the radical conspi racy, to which impeachment is only one of the preliminary steps. The dictatorship of Grant will be nominal only, and the real power will be in the Senate, with Ren Wade at its head. The appointments made by him during his brief term or power will be carefully selected from the tools of the conspirators, and the patronage and in fluence of the office-holders will stand at the back of the revolutionary commune. Grant will not have the power, if he had the disposition, to change a single feature in the programme a sin gle creature in the action of the drama for the Senate will hold him in a vice stronger than that they have prepared f jr Andrew Johnson. With the latter out of the Presidential office, no voice will be raised in vetoes to expose the true char acter of radical legislation, and acts will be pas sed which will strike down what little of protec tion yet remains to the people in the barriers of the constitution. With a paper currency flood ing the country, speculation will run wild, stocks of all kinds will rise, railroad schemes, land schemes and all the wildest projects that ingen uity can devise, will find ready votaries, and in the general fire and smoke of the great revolution the radical dictatorship will be made perpetual. The united power of Grant, the Senate and the national banks is relied upon to crush out all opposition, aud to enforce a Reign of Terror to which the experience of 18G2 and 18G3 will be but a trifle. Thf; conspirators cite the case of Louis Napoleon in support of t heir argument that boldness ouly is required to turn into an absolute ism a rule commenced under the guise of Repub lican liberty. The immediate admission of the Southern States, with their negro constituencies and negro representatives, will follow, the first successful steps of the conspiracy, and then the vote of New York in the House of Representatives will be nullified by that of South Carolina. The real object of the radical conspirators is no longer a secret. Raking, Reaping and Mowing MACHINES.

GROUND PLASTER For sale cheap by Kilgore & Cureton, Charlotte. Ground Tlaster attracts ammonia from the at mosphere and retains it for the use of vegetation. hits action as a manure is twofold. In the first place, it serves directly for the food of several of our culti vated plants; and secondly, it fixes and retains cer tain soluble substances in the soil, which are neces sary to their growth and nutrition. Nor is this all. To the same property is to be ascribed its action of fixing ammonia, w hen scattered over stable floors, dunghills, manure tanks, &c, by absorbing it, there by preventing its escape. Piaster may be applied to grass lands by scatter ing it broadcast over the surface, or over cultivated ground, harrowing it in at the time of sowing the seed. It may also be applied in the hill at the time of plant ing beans, peas, Indian corn or tobacco; or it may be applied to the plants of these crops at their first or second hoeing. For grass lands it is recommended to sow it in the fpriag. even when the grass is 5 or t inches in height, and, when sown in August, after harvest, upon clover leas, a fine aftermaih may be cut. and the crops of the year following will experiene nearly the whole of its good effects. The bott time of applying plaster is in the evening or morning upon the dew or in calm and cloudy weath er, jus-t before or after a slight rain; for if the weath er be very rainy, ha -ffeets will be lessened if not al together destroyed. When sown with grain, its or dinary dose is equal in bulk to that of the seed, say 200 or 300 11. tvan acre; but to grass lands, or crops of legumes, potatoes, and Indian corn, 5 or 6 bushels to the acre are commonly employ ed in Europe. Used in a compost of earth or dung, or combined with other manures, such as guano, rape dust, &c, it has been applied to turnips with marked effect. If a little plaster be strewn over barnyard dung, while being turned over, before using, its activity is very much increased.
