This body, according to the terms of
the act calling .it, meets next Monday.
Whether the democratic or republican
party is to control its organization is the
question that is now claiming public
attention. There is nothing too un.
scrupulous and unfair for republicans to
resort to,to carry out their desire to con
trol the Convention audits organization.
A week will, perhaps, solve the problGir.
It is the dutyvof every democratic mem.
her elect to be promptly on the floor
Monday. To ix>glect thfs duty under
the circumstances would be criminal.
There is nothing new as to the relative
strength of the parties in the Conven
tion. There arc fifty-eight republicans
and fifty-eight democrats, with three
independents, which With the vacaucy
in Orange make the the one hundred
and twenty delegates. That vacancy
will not be filled for ten days after the
Convention assembles, and so far as the
organization is concerned need no/ be
counted. One of the independents will
certainly ftct with the democrats. How
the other two will act, we think is
doubtful; both sides claim them. If all
the delegates are present these two, and
perhaps one of them will hold the bal
ance of power. It can hardly be ex
pected that every delegate will be pres
ent. Sickness and various causes, may,
and will doubtless prevent the attend
ance of some, Who these are if any
wiH probably determine who will con
trol the organization. It is a matter of
great consequence to the people of North
Carolina. We hear very little now of
adjourning. That the promised Adjourn
ment will not take place we take for
granted. If the radicals control, it is to
be hoped they will adjourn, and spare
us tlio inflicton of anoilier radical body
jn this State. » - 4 : '
Tlic party has already bankrupted the
State and impoverished its p oplo, and
what other damage and suffering do
they wish to inflict? In every South
ern ,State wl.ere radicals have had the
l»ower, they have used it faithlessly and
corruptly for individual gain, and if
they control the Conveiritoi tnero is no
reason to Bupposo change.
Democrats should see that it is not con
trolled by them, if possible to prevent
it. If ajiy democrat bv his neglect
should allow this Convention to pass
into the handsot the radicals lie would
dCTsrve tho censure and condemnation
of ail gqfgl ]>eople. Then let every dem
ocrat sco that his certificate of election
is formal and correct, and be promptly
ot his poet to assist in defeating the de
signs of radicals to get control of tho
Convention, mid use the power thus ac
quired for individual and party interest
and gain, and lor the public damage.
Democrats, be prompt! bo vigilant 1 bo

upcrtT every democratic delegate. We

THK AftCH COXSI'IKATOHS,
General Morris and Candy Harris, of
what all preseut evidence points to as
a diabolical plot to indiscriminately
murder and pluudct while people, live
in Uurko county 7" The negro Morris,
at the Spring Term of Court, appeared
in the Court house auii insolently de
manded of Judge Gibson, on tho bench,
that negreos be put upon ccrtaiu juries.
Jlo was dealt lonioutly with by the
Court on account of bis apparent ignor-.
ance ol the law, Sinco then he has been
busily engaged preaching insurrection
totbeoolorod people of that and the
above counties. Ills iufhmou* conduct
cuhnhiated on tho Gth of August, In
Candy Harris writing the widely pub
lished letter to James falters and oth
ers, ordering tho negroes to commence
tho slaughter on Friday August 20.
Meantime Morris had formed
BECBET ORGANIZATIONS
among the negroes generally kuown as
the "Major-General's Clubs," for the
purpose " of placing the district under
the control cf tho oolorcd people, even
if it should require tbe death ofevery
white man iu the country to do so."
These clubs, or organizations, wero all
over the country, but a general oouncil
of tho negroes was held a few days
ago, when it was decided that each or
ganization should remain together un
der arms until the day appointed for tho
o .convention, when they "would pro
ceed to take charge of the county
offices; books, etc., at whatever cost,
for our own protection, and for the
f>urpo.?c of being no longer deprived of
our rightV'a3Msrris wont on to say.
From a negro who was captured, the
following additional facts have been
"loaned : He said the purpose of the
blacks was to establish what Morris
said was a seat of government within
the county for themselves. lie says
the negroes have drilled nightly for the
past two or three weeks, and thaf,to the
best of his knowledge, the}' had control
of at least two hundred guns. The
whole tbrce was to bo subdivided into
squads of fifteen and twenty men and
these were 10 waiter all over the count
ry, fo hold themselves in readiness to
attack the whites when they should re
ceive an order from Morris. The head
quarters of the latter was to be at
Waynesboro, and a squad was dCach
ed as his start of couriers to convey
> OKDKRS TO ATTACK
the whites. He was also assisted in
the leadership by Gray and Hughes,
(the captured men,) and a >: umber of
others, but his will was supreme law,
and all were ready to obey his orders.
He in person drilled the negroes, and
at the last meeting he told all to arm
themselves at once with whatever they
could, and the question was actually
discussed ot attacking the armories of
the militia to obtain their guns, but that
was thought too dangerous at present.
Morris knew that his designs and plans
had become partially kno\m to the
whites, an 3 he concluded not to wait
for the convention day to arrive, so on
Tuesday night last he at a meeting,
which lasted until 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning, ordered the negroes to hold
themselves in readiness at a moment's
notice, as "the time had come for either
murder or our rights." Agreeable to
this war order, scouting parties were
organized to proceed at once t.o their re
spective rendezvous, and await instruc
tibus.—On Wednesday when Gray and
Hughes were arrested, Morris proceed
ed to Green's Cut, a place about seven
miles from Wayesboro, and hold a
COUNCIL OF WAR,
aud he proposed hostile operations im
mediately : but as his forces were not as
throughly oiganizcd as ho had thought,
he could not collect them together at
once, and his schemes had to wajt a
day or two longer to fully mature and
be cavried ituo effect. Meantime ho
would remain at or near Green's Cut,
where all communications should be ad
dressed to him. During this time the
whites had become alarmed, and
the aspect of things was very thrcat
ning. For self-protection they nrmed
themselves, but displayed no hostile
feelings towurds the blacks. "Nearly
every one ot the whitp citizens have
been constantly on guard 6ince Monday |
last, and they have scarcely had time
to sleep an. hour, so great wore their
apprehensions. Wednesday morning,
by some means, they became aware of
the prooeedfyigs of the meeting held the
provloiiß night by Morris and his crew
ot out-laws, ond as a preventive of
bloodshed, they caused the arrests of
Joe Gray and Tom Hughes, two of the
principal leaders of the negroes. This
enraged the negroes be yond measure,
and they
TIIKKATKNKT> TO BUItN TttK TOWN.
Up to Wednesday night no collision
bad occurred, bnt the county was di
vided into two hostile camps—tlio ne
groes on one side, the white's on the
other—both under arms, and both pre
pared (or conflict. Wednesday night
a party of eight mounted men, com
manded by Mr. Ilandolph Itidgeley,
left Waynesboro on a scout. After scout
ing the surrounding country and start
ing back on their way to town, they
suddeutly came accross a company ot
camp-flrcs were burning brightly,* and
the party was auutped in regular style.
A rcconnoisance showed that they
numbered forty or fifty well armed men.
Mr, liidgeiey'B command w«nt-iuto the
woods, where they remained on the
watch until day-light. When.* day
broke the negroes commenced disband
ing) and the departure of soveful squads
reduced the number to twenty. . The
, whites then charged upon and captured
! the entire par£y. They were disarmed
I und turned looso with a warning. Short-
Ily after day-light, two gentlemen—
| Messrs. Law ion and Wilhclm, who had
gone on a scout in another direction
were
AMBCSBED AND FIRED UPOK
while ftturning to .Waynesboro'. They
were riding, quietly along the ro*d,
when suddenly two shots were iiredi at
them from the woods which lined the
highway. The fire was without efifbc't,
and the wonld-bc assassins took to
flight. Pursuit through the thick covert
of the trees was soon found impractic
able, and had to be abandoned. L&ter
in the day a colored boy was rrcstrd )
who knew of the firing and gave the
names of the negro men in ambush—
Anthony Dodgo and Charley Williams.
Two negroes, Frank Vincent and Abel
Mooro, implicated in t4e affair, were
arrested Wednesday night 011 a chargo
of attempting to incite insurrection, and
brought to Augusta and lodged in the
jaftfor saffe-kceping. Three other ar
wists were made near Waynesboro/ but
the prisioncrs were detained in confine
ment hrthef town on account of the
revelations which were made by thcin.
One of thcin proved to be the nephew
of the lie jro, Joe Morris who is the
head centre of the insurrectionists. He
was also acting in the capacity of cou
rier for his uncle, and upon his person
was found a dispatch friftri Morris,
COUNTERSIGNED BY PRINCE RIVERS,
and Candy Harris, addressed to the lie
groes in another section of the county
aud commanding them to rise upon the.
whites and kill them wherever they
con Id be found. They were to seek out
those who had guns and kill them first,
in order that they might procure arms.
The man also stated that his uncle Mor
ris had given verbally the same dirftc
tions to all Hie negroes with whom he
was in communication. One of the ne
groes asked Morris a day or two ago
what they must do if the white people
suspected anything and attempted to
arrest them. " Kill them on the spot if
they have 110 legal warrant charging
you with the crime,,' said Morris. "Then
kill them anyhow," was the fiend's re
ply. The evidence of these men seemed
to show conclusively that a general
massacre of the white people upon an
appointed day had been concerted by
this triumvirate of sconndrels —Prince
Rivers, Joe Morris and Harris. .Rivers
may deny that he knew anything of the
matter, but it is certain that his name
has been used in all the orders which
have been issued,and that the poor delu
ded negroes of Bnrke, Jefferson, Wash
ington and Johnson think they are acting
under the'authority of, and will be pro
tected by a majority of the South Caro.

ACCOUNTS FROM WAYNESBOEO'.
WAYNESBORO', August 20. —12:15 A.
M. —All quiet here to-night. Pickets are
out and posted on all the approaches to
the town. About twenty volunteers
from Augusta came down on the train
tft-night, all armed. They organized
and appointed W. J;* Cranston captain.
They will act as scouts to-night. Re
ports from the vicinity of Waynesboro'
state tho ncgroesin squads of from twen
ty to sixty are four and five miles from
town. A party of whites will start out
at hall-past three this morning to scout
the swamps for them. The excitement
is subsiding and the citizens are tired
out from sitting up for several nights in
succession. The negroes are completely
demoralized, and theolder citizens have
scattered. About fifteen arrests havo
been made to-day "of the principal ring
leaders among tho negroes. Joe Mor
ris, the head-centre of the trouble, is yet
at large, and tho general Impression is
that he lias decamped. This morning
ttilly five hundred negroes gathered
about five miles out of town, but sub
sequent events caused a panic, and
they scattered in every direction. Tho
captain of the hussars, who passed thoir
rendezvous this afternoon,'did not 6ee
a negro in the vicinity. A negro who
was arrested to-day
CONFESSED THE WHOLE TLOT.
He's ay s a simultaneous attack was to
have been made to-morrow in Jefferson,
Burke, Washington and portion of
Richmond Counties. Nine more arrests
of leaders have since been made. The
citzens are most anxious to capture Joe
Morris, but the chances seem slim. The
people are fully armed and well prepar
ed to meet any force should theemer
gency arise, but it is believed their ser
vices will not be needed. A box with
fifty guns aud fixed animation was
brought down on the train from Augus-
ta to-night. Judge Perry a»id other
prominent citizens believe the trouble
isall over, aud that prompt arming of
the whole white people and the vigor-
ors measures Adopted will be a whole
some lesson fpr the blacks in the future.
Two negroes from Sandersville came
down on the train, and asked for Mor.
rie.? They bad a letter directed to Mor
ris, saying: "The jig is up in Washing
ton, as the white people are making ar
rests of the leaders," and warned him
to got out of the way. Morris evident
ly concocted the whole plan of attack-on
the whites himself. Very lew of his fol
lowers knew of hisprogrammc. He ex
pected to marshal them, march to Way
nesboro', and then tell them what to do;

MORE PIIAKEH OF TUB GEORGIA
TROI'BIiE.
The confessions of prominent negroes
connected with the recent Georgia
troubles illustrate the ease with which *
the ignorant blacks in that section of
the country can be inveigled in to contri- j
buttons for an absurd purpose, a pur
pose which the leaders themselves have
really hat) no idoa of participating in.But
these blatant wretches know the ma
terial with which they are working. It
would seem strange indeed if the first
insurrection ot blacks that ever caused
any apprehension in Georgia should
have occurred after they had obtained
their freedom, civil rights, the law in 1
regard to ; which has been interpreted !
by the courts of Georgia as far as possi
ble in their favor. The documents yet j
discovered, with one exception, do not 1
indicate an intended massacre. The
exception Avas an order signed by
" Candy llarri#, Secretary!" with the
addition of" by order of General Mor
ris and from General Rivers," directing
the captain of a negro company to kill
every white he'con Id find. Kivers has
n major ge"neral's commission in the
South Carolina militia, but positively
denies having had anything to do with
the plot. The letters which are publish
ed of the seif-styied General Morris, to
** Candy Harris," as he calls him, while
one of them refers, to " minnics-' (mill- |
nic rifles) which had been sent to "Can- |
dy," exhibits mosl anxiety as to money,
asking Harris in two letters to send him
" 300 more dollars," and iu another ad- .
vising him " to keep cool," and stating
that he, General Morris, was going to
Washington, (to get posted probably,)
and would write him on his l-etnrn.
The subject of the payment or legality
ot the poll tax is apparently what dis
turbed the minds ol the negroes, and
their mode of solving it was a politico
military demonstration, which perhaps
though not invested by themselves with
the significance attached to it by intelli
gent men, was well calculated to create
apprehension and alarm in a section
where tjie whites were so greatly in the
minority. It is easy enoitgh for those
who are far removed from the sceAie,
and are not in the midst of a similar
population to ridicule the excite
ment which these developments have
caused. And yet when the plot ot a
negro insurrection was once discovered
in New York, little more than a centu
ry ago, alarm so extreme that it
manifested itself in the most remorseless
cruelty, and the accused blacks could
not find a lawyer who would see that
thoy had a fairtryiliri the courts. The
so-called plot, which was never proved
created the greatest pa nip. Upon evi-
tlence which would now be considered
worthless one hundred and fifty-four
colored men and twenty whites were
imprisoned within six months.of whom
seventy-eight negroes were transported
twenty were hanged, and thirteen
burned at the stake f The people of the
disturbed districts of Georgia are not
likely to lollow this example. An ad
dress issued by leading men of that re
giou to theirJellow jcitizena calm, and
unimpassioned iu its tone, and while ex
pressing doubt whether any serious dis
turbance was contemplated by the col
ored population, recomeuds carefulness
In havingthc sanction of law in what
ever action may be taken in the prem
ises, and to put down any attempt of
exgited and irresponsible parties at tak
ing the law into their own hanefs. This
is sensible and timely advice, and we
have no doubt will be acted upon by
the white people. "We hope the coun
sel given to the blacks to abstain from
doubtful demonstrations may be equal
■ly effectual, though from the readiness
with which designing men of both col
lors obtain their confidence we are not
sure of their willingness to accept such
counsel, -r- Baltimore Sun.

"THE VAIITV."
The colored people of Jasper county,
Mississippi*, had a convention a few days
since aud, adopted what they termed a
« color line platform" iu which they in
formed tho white Republicans that un
less they then and there publicly declar
ed that "a negro was as good as a
white man," they would not be per
mitted to take part in the delibera
tions. The white Republicans unani
mously refused the terms offered, and
consequently none but negroes*were
nominated. In Lowndes county, in the
. same State, the negroes have also drawn
the color line, and in a county meeting
passed resolutions dpnounciug a white
Republican editor because he ad.
vised against such a policy. It is pre.
dKfryl that ifthfa iafnrcnd 111 Mis
