THE .WILMINGTON FOST. W. P. CAN AD AY. Proprietor. WILMINGTON; N. C, SUNDAY MofiNIKO, MAECH 4, I8t3. AN OUTRAGE'- Wc learn that tie legislature of this state have passed an act which require the legal votere3 in the city of 1 Will inington, before they caa be allowed to deposit their, votes at aa election held in the city, to state ou oath the, number of th lot or part of lot on which they reside, and al so the number of the block oa which the lot is situated. It is to be remembered that the lot or blocks in WilmiDglou, are not designated by any pugibera so- as to ! distinguished one lot, or one block from any ojher lot or block, so that a person by any in-t spectionvof his premises caa for him self determine the number of the lot or block upon which he resides. It is true these lots and , block are num bered and designated on a plan of the city of Wilmington .nd that plan is in the City Ilall and may by leave ot the city officials be inspected by any citi Z9D, but it is well known that ihere are many leal voters in thii city who could not by an inspection of the plan of the city be able to ascertain the number of the lot upon whic'i they rtside. This fact was well known to the artful dodg ers who promote! this action on the part of the legislature, and their arowed purpose wai to exclude that large class of our fellow citizen lrorn enjoying the right of Htifl'rajre secured to them by the constitution. ..- We deuou'icij such actiou ; a con temptible scU of tyranny ou the part" of these mean fallows, and wo take oc casion to -admonish thoo who may un dertakc to exclude freeman legally entitled under thy constitution, from the exercise of that prvilego by rea son oflm-not aiatinii tile number of the block, and the number of the lot upon which ho resides, tliav they will be prosecuted to the extent of the law, The provision of Ine state constitution is, Article YJ, .'Sec. 1. "Every male person bora iu the United Slates, and every male person who lias been natur aliped, twenty-one yeara old or upward who sliail havu reaidod in the state twelve mituUinest preceding the elec lion, and ninety days i a the county in which he ollori to yott'sliall be deemed elector.'.' 5 Jy what' authority then wo ask, ii . itrTtUnt t:io iegislaturo can impose mo. lesiiiction mat no man shall voto who dues nut declare on oftth tlio number id' the block, jind the lot upon which- he resides before lie de posits his ballot. Can any one imag ine a, itiorb arbitrary, tyranical, unjus!t? cruel, and uncotkitilutioual law. 'Sup poso congress were to. enact such a law with regard to the election of members of congress, does any oue suppose for ode moment that the people of these United States, boasting of lree govern incnt, and in this enlightened age would submit to the excise of such despotic powfii? I thi the boasted ; Democracy of the bourbonu? It is said that those whom the liod wish to de stroy they first mike mad. That may be so, but we rather thinkil would re quire a devil incarnate to deal with these mad men, ; lias any such require any otber city, town, or county of the state, or iudecU bP any other state? tWe tell these bob rbous to beware, they they aro irc paring for the next presl dential election, and they much 'mistake the- people who lore free a . . h uom and iiDerty u they, suppose they will not, when the time- arrives, put their condemnation upon such mis erable, conttmpiiWU trickery.

What have they done look ing to the interest of the state? The Democratic party have Iwen in power, HI will not say in the majority) in this state since eighteen hundred and seventy-six; since that time there has been six sessions' of the legislature and yet the people have receiyed n6 bihefit from the laws that have been enacted. They have not provided for the wantsnf the people by increasing the number of the judged on "the Supreme Court, who everybody knows are over woiked; they have failed to add to the number of the circuit judges and have consequently entailed upon the people the costs and delays in asserting their; rights in the. Superior -Cc-urt. They have enacted laws for the education ofjthe people, in pursuanCs of the mandates of the state constitution', which compels them to levy a tax fer the support of common schools for all the children in the: state between the ages of six and twenty-one years, and which mandate provides that there shall be no discrimination between the two races of our fellow citizens, yet they are at this very moment agitating the question of amending the constitution, so that the tax raised from the prop ertyand polls of the whitesshall alone be appropriated to the education of the whites; and the tax raised from the colored citizens shall be appropriated! to the olored children, thus making war upon the colored people, aud stir ing up strife between the races antL looking down with contempt upon the labor which contributes so largely to .the production of otto n aud com, aud rice, and is indispensable to the many interests of the slates. We mean to contend, and do contend, thai tha rights of the state mean the rights of the people of the state, aud when those rights are maintained and fostered un der the constitution and laws of our common country then, and not till then, are we for state rights; that is what we maintain in a national" .'sense' is states rights Maintaining in full for nd vigor the rights teserved" ,t0 the states - but subordinating these rights to the general government under the constitution, and not eetimgH up supposed rights which are hostile to the general government, ana not war tinted by the constitution which vr have sworn to support and mainlaiu These bourbons are deceiving the .peo ple, or are attempting to do-so, by rai.s ing a false clamor, their real object is to get possession of the federal govern ment, which in their hearts they da spise as much as tbey did in eighteen hundred and sixty-one, when they plunged this fair land into a wr.r of ruin and devastation to the people of the southern states. We arc on the watch-tower of liberty, and it is our duty to proclaim from the house top that these bourbons mean to again bring desolation upon this fair land by stirring up strife between the blacks and the whites, with a view to gratify their own selfish purposes. At the present session of the General Assembly a bill to erect a dwelling for the Governor of the state was intro duced, and the small sum of less than ten thousand dollars would have been required to be raited by taxation, a tax not amounting to oue cent per capita, upon the whole population of he state, was with difficulty passed and became a law. Immediately the Wiiminirton Slat i the most erratic and inconsistent of journals, announces to the public that "an election is to take place in eighteen hundred and eighty-four; that that is the year for electing a President of the United States, and tht the legislature ought to look to the interest of the par .y, and hot spend any money Tor a home for the Governor of the state, as thereby the state may be lost to the Democracy." Whereupon the legisja ture passed a supplemental bill declar iug Chat no work should ; be done upou the Governor's house fill after the -1th of March, 1855, when the Presidential election wilt be over. Doe that strike the people of Norti Carolina as look- ing to the interest of the ute and" of the people of the statr, or Horn it ti-H manifiwU appear that the real object to cure the federal brticrs for the bourbon politicians who are attempt.- iag to aaova the people of the state as it they were pawns on a chess board.

The jopst experi enced observers say that the Democrat ic newspapers do not attack the men who are injuring the Republican partj as bitterly as they do those who are tearing down the bonrbori JDemCCtmtj; A case in point is the discussion in Democratic papers concerning: General Mahone. That gentleman chooses to act with the Republicans in. the.TJai4 ted States senate, and the Republicaaa of Virginia choose to act with his friends in that ftate. This has wrought disaster to the bsurbons in both cases. In Virginia it has permanently de stroyed ' bourbon power, placed. the state in liberal and patriotic control, and given two senators and six mem bers of congress to a friendly alliance, with the Republican party. In, the 'senate, in March, 1881, Mahone's yott gave the committers to the Republi cans. This was very distressing to the opposition for they had to yield up the chairmanships and clerkships, and the power to stifle legislation and executive nominations in committee. At' the special session of October, 1881,' the vote of Mahone placed David Davis in the chair. 1 If the bourbons could have controlled the single vote of Ma hone, not even Judge . Davis's vote added to those of the Republicans would have made the requisite major! ty. At the same time the committees were again made Republican by the willing yote of Gen. Mahone, without which the aid of Judge Davis would have been unavailing. The consent of the latter to accept the vice presidency at th i hands of the Republicans was ac companied with a willingness on his part to vote with the Republicans with ref erence to the. committees and with the Democrats as to the offices. Of course each party tooklwhat he chose to be etow, having no option in the matter, Gen. Mahone, without the least hesita tion, g&vc his yote with the Republi cans to seat Mr. Davis, and with Mr. ! Davis to arrange the committees in ac cordance with the wishes 1 of the Re pubiicuns, although it did not please Mr. Davis to vote with the Republi cans lor Kidaiebergef, inen caucus nominee for sergeant-at-arms, Mahone's near friend and now his colleague-elect in ihe t-euatc. These are all facts wel known to senators and to the public The7 ate si part of the record of the senate. And yet Democratic editors have so mean au opinion of Republi can senators that they appear to think they can indnce them to ,adopt and in dorse the coarse falsehoods and vulgar blackguardism against Mahone which constitutes eo large a staple in the hour bou prets. ' The Republican senators know that there never has been a de mand made by Gen. Mahone, and that his generous course has been prompted by the noblest motives. Gen. Mahone knows '-hat no demand ever will be made by him, and that the Republican senators are not likely to accept the statementsjof opposition editors as to the intention of pne iu whose compa ny they sit from day to day The old adage is applicable that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Of course the bourbon enemies of the Republican party and of the readjusters are awful ly alraid that the amicable relations between them will do harm to one or the other. In Virginia it is the read justers just now who are most tenderly thought ol by these disinterested polit ichI philanthropists. In the north it is the Republicans who are the objects of their solicitude; They would fain guard each tide from the aid of the other, as a fox would guard with equal unselfish- nescJ two different hen" roosts. Hence the very witty paragraphs about the "trade with Mahone," "submitting to bin dictation," &c. One day they de clare that he has the Republican party iu'ehancery, and the next that he and the Republicans are fritndly partners who are a disgrace to each other.

CiKCurarATi, Ohio, Feb. 26, 18S3. Captain W. W. Peabody, a prominent railroad official, has just returned from 8haneetowo, I1L, on the Ohio River, with a dismal report of distress and snfleriag there.

One striking feature of the 'receut ca lamity is the fact that the worthy poor were the greatest sufferers and the most numerous and that they had to be sought, out and relieved.

New phases of distress are coming updaily and new classes and cases of suffering are coming to light and will continue to .come for many weeks, unless they are met with timely assistance"""- ; .' Every bourbon Democratic paper we receive brings us the mournful lintelli gence that senators EJmud? and Hale and Hawley, and Logan aud Sherman, have been "used lip" by Lamar aud Vest and Vance and Beck; and that representatives Kelly and Hiscock and Burrows and Kaason have been "thrashed" to death by Carlisle anJ Cox and Blount and Tucker, have gone down to rise no more. Nevertheless, all these Republicau senators and -representatives "come to time" at roll-call, to be "used up" and "thrashed" out over again. The "per formance has to be repeated every day. We have telt very sad over the re peated usings up and thrashings three Republicans have undergone; and es pecially that they were so incorrigible; and we think it hard, too, that the bour bons, who are generally so averse to Aard work, have had this work to do over so onen. ine task assigned toJ oysipnns was mere cnuu's play com pared to this self-assigned labor. Thes telegrams are like those received daring the war; according to them the south gained all th? victories, but tor some unaccountable reasons Lee 'sur rendered , at Appomattox. We opine that these Washington telegrams are of the "same sort,'' and that a political Appomattox awaits the bourbon De mocracy In 1884 Democracy and Protect ieu. The Pittsburg (Pa.)

The senate wisely strnfk.out the pro vision in the legislative 'apprppnatioi bill requiring department clerks to "re main atjthejr posts eight hours every day whether they had work before them or not. What the government wants, as an employer, is that is clerks shall work wliile there is wor to do, which will sometimes be more nd sometimes less than eight hour. Tbeidea jof Uncle Sam scowling around like: old Scrooge to see whether every clerk is mounted on his stool with a pen ehinL' his ear up to a certain hour, whetjerj needed or not, is hideous.
