A "#BIP OFF,

'through tnc country to the - ancient
'town of I*itlsboro, "«ik\ tpek 'tMrail by
nay of lialeigh. On our way down we
crossed at the across llaw
river at SaxapabnW, and so far as wc
could judge," it is : in eVcry »'ay a com
plete substantial structure. In fact
there are two bridges here, an island in
• the river dividing it into two separate
streams at this point. The contractors
of this bridge, Messrs. Ferrell anil Neal
arc also the contractors for ttirfbuilding
of the bridge at the -Ovanite Cotton
Factory, which they propose to begin
l ight away. 'Their well known char
acter as bridge builders and mechanics,
and upright men insures for the county
good jobs. Everywhere wc uotlccd 7
that the crops were good and frotn every
•one wc heard til it the wheat crop, just
•harvested, is the best for years pnst. All
•the way down, to within o Ifcw miles of
i'ittsboro, wc founfl thttt the-seasons had:
'been good, and there soihc
dry weather Was being indulged, which
however was hushed by abundant rain
•during our stay. The candidates on
both sides for convention are out in
Chatham, and we were glad to sec and
hear that the people are alive to the
•importance of the corning election. On
Monday, the sth, the lion. (John Man
ning and Williurti Stroud were nomina
ted by the democrats, and on Tuesday,
•the (itb, the republicans met but made
■no nomination, Ham Lang, Esq., and
Maj. R. W. York declaring themselves
•independent candidates. Those of our
•democratic friends whom we saw have
■llO doubt*about the election of the reg
ular candidates by a handsome 'major
ity, on the contrary the republicans seem
•to think the race will be a vory close;
•one. We noticed the damage done the :
•town by the terrible cyclone of last,
March was iu many instances entirely
repaired, and in others the work of re
paration was going on. The courthouse
has an entire new roof and other repairs
■which were needed befoie the storm.'
The Frcsbyterian church which had the:
•cupola and roof torn off was being re
paired. The old Ramsey hotel property
has been bought by a Mr. May who is
recovering the buUdftigs and putting
the place in order with the view, as we
were told, of opening it as a hotel socn.
Mr. M. J. Stone has succeed Mr. Eu
banks as mail contractor "trom Pittsboro'.
to LockSille, and will very soon, as lie
informed us, put upon the line * Anc'
new omnibus which he is having built
in Fayetteville, and a first Tate team.
Mr. Lubanks the old •contractor is still
running his hack for the accommoda
tion of travellers, and there is likely to
be lively competition for the patronage
of those who may wish to got from
Lockville to PitUboro and return. The'
Railroad Company has doternined to
build a depot at LockvMe, and a'
ticket office just on the Haywood side
of Ueep rive is We think the depot
much needed. Taking the train wc
soon fouud ourself in Raleigh enjoying
a good breakfast at the Rational hotel,
where Col. Brown so successfully exerts
himself to make everybody comfortable.
Wc heard complaints of dull times. Wc
called at the News office where we
found Maj. Cameron and Capt. Stone
hard at work. We were not surpri ed
at this, as iheir paper giVfs unmistak
able evidence of hard work and' lots of
it done by some oue. We also did our
self the pleasure of calling upon Joe |
Turner, as he is called by both trieuds.
and enemies. Wc found him more at
leisure, it being about his hour to go to
press. He says ho has dedicated his
lifo to lighting rings, a'ud that he is going
to whip them out. Wo met Geu. W. R.
Cox, the Chairman of our Executive
Committee, and from him we heard the
most cheering news of the prospects of
the campaign fVom all portions of (he
State. We intend, in spite of radical
oppositiou, to give them, iu common
with all who do now, .or shall hereafter
Itve in the State, the benefits oi a good
Constitution, that shall be just Jo all.
Towxsnip AND WAUD CLUBS.-— lt is

in fighting trim. Nothing cau be dont

TIIK COST.
Ol all the radical* liafc fo Say in tip po
sition to thf election of democratic del
egates to the convention, there'is but
one solitary thing that si ton Id address
itselt to ttic coirtrfderatioir'of intelligent
men. -This is so, for the. reason that
their other objections consist in declared
opposition to what no one is in favor of.
matter'Of cost should always
be considered, and much more closely
considered than *vas done by thesd-very
carping radicals when they *had the
power of taxation and appropriation.
Many of them dare hot fin.ee the the peo
ple and say the Constitution needs no
amendment, and such as. these at once
talk about the legislative mode, and the
cost of convention. Now, for a moment
Jet us -look at it. Where there is but one
or two amendments to be considered
the legislative mode would bethe prop
cr one, and to such crscsit was intended
to apply, as to the question of tree suf
frage years ago. For an amendment, or
amendments to be made by tliclegisla
ture that body 'lras to pass them first bv
a three-fifths'vote of all'the members in
each house, tlmt is three-fitthsof all that
arc entitled to-be there, _4
lvo»v, the Several amendments r thus
proposed must occupy the time ol and be
discussed'by one hundred and seventy
legislators, who will bc-getting, each
' one, as much pay, as if he were a dele
j gate'to a convention, and to make the
matter still more tedious and expensive,
there are two houses of the legislature,
with two sets of door keepers, two sets
of dcrks, and all the other dxpeifscs of
I two distinct bodies, and there must be
an agreement of both llouses. Now in
a convention there will be only one
hundred and twenty Hlelegafe, oue set
of door keepers, one set ol clerks, and
the incidental expewses of one body on
ly, and there is but one house to discuss
propositions aud to agree, thus saving
much time and expense. After the
legislature has finally, by a three filths
vote, settled down on the amendments
it wishes adopted, the work is only be
gun. These proposed amendments
must be published iu the newspapers,
for 6ix months before another legisla-.
ture isclcoted, and after all this delay
and expense, legislature No 2 takes*
these amendments into consideration,
and after disagreements, debates and
strikiug out, and sending to the Senate,
and to the House and committees of con
ference, if both Houses agree, by a twer
tliirds vote of all the members of each,
tcany of the amendments as theretofore
published, then those so agreed to, go
to the people for lat ification or rejec
tion, —and if i&tified become a part of
the constitution. By the convention,
mode delegates arc elected tor the pur
pose of a nendiug the constitution and
*o other, and generally spcakmg, in fact
without exception in thi» State, save
always the convention of 1868, a con
stitutional convention is a superior body
to a legislature. We always have in
it a large number of our ablest pur
est and most experienced statesmen.
There are but one hundred and twen
ty and they compose but one
body> with oue set el cfficers, aud,
amendments are not considered twice,!
by two separate and distinct legisla
tures, each divided into two separate
and distinct Houses. If any one will take
the trouble to think for himself just one
minute ou the two modes, aud has com-'
men sense, and tvill tell the truth, he
will say that the mode of amendment
by Convention, in all cases where there
are more than one, aud at most two
amendmeuts to be considered, is more
(ess expensive, aud that
the amendments thus marto will have
tlic attention and care of more ability
and experience tliau would bo the case
by tho legislative mode. Another
thought, iu connection with the two
provided modes, strikes us .with force
and that is, that the Legislature being a
department of the government, which
in common with all tho others, derives
its power from the Constitution, aud is
limited and restrained by it, and thus
kept withiK its proper bounds as a co-or
diuate departui ut ot* the government
is not so proper a body to consider
or Of any import aut changes, especially
a number of them, as would be a Con
vention.
No, lot the people rbr Convention
make their Cotistitutioh, attd let H pass
the test of individual inspection and rat
ification by a majority ot the voters, and
let the Legislature pass wliolsome neces 2 -
sary laws under the Constitution, and
let tho Constitution besabroad and lib
oral in Us provisstolls as to enable and
permit all Useful legislation, at the
same time protecting every citizen of
the Stat? against all encroachments upon
his liberty, arid the passage of bad laws.
Divide Constitution amending, and leg
islation. It is cheaper* speedier, and
entirely more proper that it should be
80.
They call him Uncle-Bill, and Old Bills
and Rise Up William, and Uncle Wil
liam, and the Old Man, and they will
coutinue to poke ftin at William Allen
until that peaceful man begins to search
the Scriptures. Then some fine morn
ing these irreverent Republicans will
wake up to find their Hares cut down
and withering.
A FA I* TV IIIOVE.
The question of electing
the convention lias resolved itself 'lnto
a party matter as fully as the Tatlicfil
party can' fiiakc it. Why is thi»? The
radicals themselves cannot deny, an'd
many of them do not attempt to, the
necessity for amendments to the pres
ent Constitution. A Constitution is
for the protection am! benefit of all,
republican and democrat alike. 'What
ever may be the circumstances attend
ing the election of a delegate, ho very
much mistakes his duties, -and'falls far
• •• «.
•short of a proper appreciation of tlie re
sponsibilities of I»is position, if recollec
tions of party affiliations shall be per
mitted 'influence his action. How
much better it wotfld htlfe been bad al]
parties united 'in the call for •'a
convention, and likewise in the selection
of delegates thereto, Tlie unkindly
feeling, Which to some extent is gener
ally incident to campaigns, would have
been shi-'ely avoided. But the republi
can parly, with a few exceptions would
not.permit this. We are driven to the
the history
of that-party that its leaders prefer par
ty succcss'to the welfare of the State
and the;prOgperity of'its-people. They
had beeu"beaten,"not orily 'in this State
.but in majority of the States
in tile Union. Tile'leaders had grcWh
rich on offices, many of them hSCiess
ones, supplied by the.party, iu many
cases fbr 110 other-purpose than to re
ward party 'fiivorttfea, tihd by tlie temp
tation to iuduce party recruits; and
with their gain, questionably obtained
perhaps, has grown a greed, that
prompts every endeavor to hold op, re
.gardless of ,everv other consideration.
They kuew there was, or had been, an
element la the State, honest well
ineauing people many of them, who
had in the past opposed the call Of a
convention. They know that they
had seventy or eighty thousand negro
votes that they could depend upon
without refereuce t© the issnes involved.
They knew that, with -equal disregard
to the issues iuvolved, they could de
pend upon the votes of the great ma
jority of tbdir leaders, for the reason
that the great majority of them, in one
way or another, are and have been the
recipients of rewards from the party, a
part of the RnderstOod consideration of
which is the personal services ol the
individual, in blind obedience 0 the
commands of the party.
Knowing these things, and acting
upon the priuc iple that a drowning
man catches at straws, tbev resolved to
make a party question ot the approach
ing election, as being the best chance
presented, as poor as it is, of regaining
party ascendency iu the State. Their
real effort is not against tlie 'election of
democrats to the convention, only in
so far as their defeat will make party
capital for ihem next year, when State
and couuty officers and members of
Congress are to elect. It is tlie strug
gle of a dying party. A party that lias
been desCrtsdby many of its former ad
herents, because of its oppression and
tyranny, and Corruption and disregard
of the public good. Denfiocrats are
everywhere being eteCted by republi
can votes, that is those who have
hitherto been republicans, but
whose honesty Of purpose forbid
their longer acting with a party that had
betrayed >6very trust reposed it. In the
south the republican party, resting uj)on
the negro vote, has a surer foundation
than in the North. It is lici-6 composed
of the office-hokums as leaders, tire nc-'
groes as blind followers, a few Whites
who are expecting office, and a number
of good honest white men who have
no* yet been able to disabuse their minds
of prejudice, and Who aire yet kept de.
ceived by the baseless assertions of rad
ical papers, supported by the party, and
the unfounded declarations that find
their source in radical office-holders.
Why could we not have joined together
in framing a Constitution for the good
of all, and suited to all? That is wha (
the democratic party intends to do, but
it would have been so quiet and nice lor
there to have been no mere party con
test in the matter; The radicals would
not permit this; they must make party
capital if they can.

mains unchanged. Outside of ''its ex

Such a provision has no business in

the object in placing such a provision in
the Constitution we are at a loss to see;
but then there ai'e many of it? provis
ions that are unaccountable for upon
rational grounds. The delegates who
framed the' Constitution, many of them
being fresh from other Staffes, each
wanted as it would seem to get a part
ot the Constitrtion of hiß State into that

egates thus slipped ih the registration

IS A STATE OK OFFT
cer bligibi.s to k Seat in
TUB CONVENTION*
There is a general impression that
State and Federal officers can be mem
bers of the Convention and we notice
that In Several counties, candidates have
been put fov#avd, who -are office hold
ers. We are fully satisfied frotoi an
examination of the Constitution that
office holder?, either State or Federal,
arc not eligible to seats iu the Conven
tion. 7* — rr.,: - * - ..
It is true, under the old constitution-,
if a delegate to a constitutional Con
vention was not an of&cer in the eye ot
the law, he could hold his seat, and be
an officer at the same time. The con
stitutiOU Of 1776 provided in see. 35.
That 110 person In the State shall
hold more than onta hj'Crative office at
any one time. Provided that no ap
pointment in the millitfa or to the office
I of a Justice of the Pfeaco shall be consid
ered as a lucrative office.
The constitution here expressly pro
vided that no person should hold more
than one lucrative office, and, under
the construction that a delegate to '&
Convention was nos a lucrative oflice,
Judges Gaston, Daniel and other State
officers held seats lb the Convention of
1835.
The Amended Constitution of 1835
provided in sec. 4. No person who
shall hold auy offie or placo of triist ot
profit under the United States or any
department thereof or under this State
or any Other State or Government,
shall hold or ttcercfae any other office
or place ol trust or profit under the au
thority of this State, or be eligible to a
scat irt either hon»6 of the General As
sembly. Provided that riothing herein
contained shall extend to officerß in the
Millitfa; or Justices of the Peace,
A person holding an office or place
of trust shall not hold or exereise any
other office Or place oftrutt. it seems
plaiu if there u any meaning ih thd En
glish language, that this pfrovlfliou et
cluding all persons holding ati office
from holding or exercising any place of
trust, prohibits a Federal or State offl
. cer from holding a seat in the Conven
tion, which, to say the least of it} is a
place of trust*
Sec. 7. Art. 14 of the Constitution
1868. provides :
No person shall hold more than onfe
lucrative office tinder the state at the
same time. Provided that officers in
the millitfa Justices of the Peace, Com
missioners of piiblio charities and com
missioners appointed for special purpo
ses shall not be considered officers With
in the meaning of this section.
Under this provision, as in the Con
stitution of 1776, a person holding an
office might be a delegate under the
.construction that a delegate to a Con-
stitutional Convention only held a place
of trust, and is no office holder. Cut
iu the Amenftle'd Constitution of 1872.
under whuAf thefpresent proposed Con
vention waacallfed and will be hefd, the
above section in'the constitution'Of 18
68, was amtmde'd and provided as fol
lows: "No person who shall h6fd an
office or place of trust of profit under
the United States or any department
thereof or under this State or under
any other State or Government shall
hold or exercise any other office or
place of trust or profit under the author
ity of this State or De eligible to a seat
in either House of tlie General Ass2m-
that nothing herein con
tained should extend to officers of mili
—Jusiiefcs of the Peace, Commission
ers of PUblTc'ctftftfties orCommissioners
for special purposes. 7-4
This is the 'law now and so it seems
plaiu to lis that no oileo holder can be
delegate to the State Convention even,
if s\ich no office, and only a
r place of trust J—Wilson Autbance.

That {Vie clcctibn laW retjltifos "That

"tye do not think it worth while at
this late day to notice the claim the lic
publican pflfpera make that tHe Legisla
tive ih6de of amendment is the true
Constitutional one. Are riot there two
methods pibvided? And is "it fiot
that the one by Legislative action, ie in
tended to meet single Amendments aa
in the case of free suffrage in 1848, and
the other to embrace exactly s'tich ac
tion as is Contemplated by the present
cafl of the Convention. The folly of
attempting a wholesale revision of the
Constitution by the Legislative mode is
fresh in every memory. In 1871-2 thir
ty or more Amendments were adbpted
by the Legislatfrre, stibiriitted to tft'e
succeeding Legislature for confirmation,
and only eight otit of ttfe thirty finally
adopted. These next becante the sub
