Than ii ey took her to t.it fioime and chain ed 1* with a trace chain and pad ' Seek to t?»e bedjiost. The next day 1 ae was tamcil to work and looked up again at night. After some <J.iys die made her esea|«. and found re > liige with a Sonllieni man, the County Superintendent ofKducation. ’ who. sifter proper notice, sen! her to' the United States District Attorney. I Fr..m the District Attorney’s lips 1 I , received the account of this outrage, j ■ Nowjcnuhy and violence may aad do ha: j-en in any Stale. Hie part * •of the s;oiy which seems most hor , riUe to me is lhis:-It is in evidence I before the District-Attorney that, the Mayor of Veroua, who is, its ; Jnctiee of the Peaoe. heard Uie girl's | ' rries and saw the struggle, and when I vkol why he did not interfere him-! self t«. stilled that he thought it was i none ot his hasincss, as he knew it I was only a negro girl. Severn! nth- 1 ! er men testified that they sliio J irt f ’ tlieis doors and saw the "irl dragged ' bv her feet out into the road. It i » * I was none of tbeir business either. | Finallv, I recited this tale to a Deni “ ocratic Judge of the Supreme Court ot the State. He replied that bru- j tality was found everywhere, North ' as well as South, and I could not, vid ail my efforts, apparently, make; digestion anti hopeless disgust was not so rnurh the act itself, hut the Lari that an officer of the law and •wvcml citizens could witness it un- j ' n-itni—lmasv ii was ouly a negro girl.

No intimation was given to i the people, in the campaign of 1874, I that such a purpose was contcmpla ; ted. The 'pi. of • . COXVKKTiO.V, (Ml k'O €O.N T was not an issue in that contest; and .JBSBfeia'-O "lieu ca».UdukgiJiu'..Xliw, legislature were interrogated upon tire stump, they disclaimed the de sire to call a constitutional conven tion. Wheu the legislature assembled, a, majority of that body were opposed to the call; but at once the agitation commenced. For a long time it was ! in doubt whether or not the plotters would succeed, because, the domi ncnl parly, knowing the temper of the people feared to risk the pas sage of a convention bill. THE PARTY LASH WAS APPLIED, and one by one, those opposed to the project yielded to purty discip line, under protest, declaring they did so as a party measure; and at last the necessary majority was sc : cured. Without being in any man j ner consulted, the voters are thus compelled to take action; and this compulsion lias been resorted to, in spite of the fact that so late as 1871, i the people determined, by a large majority, that they did not want a ’ convention. In like manlier the dominant par ty, iu 1801, JHSUEOAP.DED the will of the PEOPLE. During that year, the legislature j submitted the convention question ; jto a popular vote, and it was deci ded by an overwhelming majority : that the convention should not be j \ called. Yet within a few weeks tin realtor, the legislature called ai 1 convention; and the delegates to: , that body , again without consulting ; ] the people, passed an ordinanea cfj ■ cession, and plunged the state in ! to rebellion. j It seems that certain politicians are determined to overthrow the or- 1 i ganic law. Since 187(1—a period of! 'only five years—they have three! ' several times worried the people in-! to voting upon question of amen ding the constitution. It is high time the people iiad rest trotil these CEASELESS AOfTATlojf.lt 1 and it remains with themselves to 1 put a quietus upon them. It' th I present scheme is defeated, we may ] reasonably hope no other attempt t will be made iu a long series of years. There is a mystery attaching to these persistent endeavors to over turn the organic law. While politi-j i cians arc exclaiming that the exist- j . ing constitution is imperfect and j : needs revision, none of them inform , 1 the people in what respects it should ! !be amended. Even the Address, re j 1 ccnlly issued by authority of the . D< mocratic party, deals iu general expressions, gravely advancing the ; idea that the "necessity for changing many of the provisions of the exis ting constitution is generally admit ted, and is too appearent to require 1 extended argument;" and the same ! solemn document, in another place : announces that its “LIMITED SPACE | dots not permet a catalogue of the* numerous defects and imperfections ;of the.present constitution, or to e-| numerate the remedies to be offered,” i From the begining to the end of this; i Address, not a sihgle'iniportant sug-! , gestion of amendment is offered or) I foreshadowed! . j Why these signitican omissions, J unless some sinister design is con ! coaled? It will not do to say the rights of the people are secured by j I the sown! led restrictions of the Cou- i | vuntiou-Act.—While these restric- j 1 tions amount to a coufessoin that ; many of the provisions of the exis -1 ting constitution are admirable, (the acknowledgment being extorted trom its enemies,) they are by no ; means a guaranty that the PLOTTERS ARE NOT CONSPIRING against the liberties of the people.— j There is nothing within them to i prevent the restoration of the county j courts; nor the abolition of the town-: ship; nor the re-establishment, ot the, whipping post; nor the requirement! ' of a of twelve months in a; county, before acquiring the right ! to vote: nor the fixing of excessive rates of poll tax in the various coun ties; nor forbidding the forced pro | dnetion of tax-receipts to enable a citizen to cast his ballot; nor tno creation of a stringent landlord and tenant act; nor the taking away from , 1 lie tiller of the soil his rights and, 1 property; nor llte creation of life of- j fiecs; nor the appointment of judges,' solicitors and magistrates by the legislature; nor the taking away j from the people the right to choose! , their own rulers. All these things tlie “RESTRICTIONS*’ DO NOT PREVENT. And considering the silence ot the projectors of the convention scheme; none hut the conspirators themselves can foretell what oilier inquiries may he resorted to. Why were the restrictions placed at Br withffif the convention-bill? of the conspiracy have ■me andaffin denounced me v»v leasni'P tlßr now pretend Be ■enlc. Tli« wore insincere Stlßc, Sr Jkclier®i now. EverJkoneSof the restrictions are as to measures that have .become endeared to the people, and which they are unwil ling to relinquish; and it must he home i|i mind they are parts of p eonstitntiot] claimed by its enemies to be the “creature of military dicta -teu*. -horn in -the throes of a mtff firry reconstruction.” In truth, it was known by the conspirators that the PEOPLE DISTRUSTED THEM; and these so-called restrictions, which many of tlicm are ready to disregard, were inserted iu the eon veutiou-bill, because its authors fear ed life people. No arguments whatever have been adduced to prone a lack of excel lence in the existing constitution. In many instances, the principles of the present, organic law, are the very or.es advocated in past days, by PROMINENT STATESMEN of North Carolina. In 1840, Gov. Dudley recommended the location of the Judges of the Superior Courts in the Districts. In 1854, Gov. Ried recommended that the Attorney General be made an executive officer and that he should reside in the City of Raleigh—ln the same message, lie i recommended two additional judic- j | ial circuits. The same year, Mr' Dortch introduced a hill to elect the i judges for a term of years; and Mr. | Riggs introduced a resolution to di vide the State into nine judicial cir-! cults. During the same session of the legislature, Mr. Bynum proposed ; to divide the State into ten circuits. ; ; In 1800, Mr. Merrimon introduced a resolution instructing the judiciary : ; committee to inquire into the expe diency of establishing another judi-; cial circuit; and als > as to the ap- i j pointment of an additional judge of j tiie. Supreme Court. As in the ease of the judiciary, and : the election ot officers by the people j so with all the important changes i made in the constitution. The es tahlishment of a penitentiary; the! j abolition of imprisonment for debt: ' i the organization of a bureau of site i jlisties: ail these have been reoem-! mended at different times by otiri old-time governors and leading men. GREAT COMPLAINT was made because of the establish ment of the Code Commission; and! after much clamor, it was abolished. Rut one of our recent legislatures appointed Judge Rattle to do the same work, requiring it to he done in a specified time. The General Assembly pretended to pass upon his labors; but so little knowledge i had our law-makers of what had been accomplished, shat the statute I law has been thrown into contusion, j and the best of lawyers are uncertain how to construe it. We have said the agitators REFUSE To INFORM THE PEOPLE in what respeets they propose to amend the constitution. Rut obser ving the work of their hands, we are not left entirely in the dark as to their designs—For instance, read ' the infamous charters of the cities of I Raleigh, Wilmington and N'eu bern (to say nothing of other towns,) in which property, Hot citizenship, has . representation; and which overturn fundamental princples of republican | government, giving political power j to the few and withholding, it from the many. Recall the shameful law reforming the senate districts, VIRTUALLY DISFRANCftISINO large numbers of voters. Reinem | her also the outrageous attempt in , 1871, to call a convention of tho peo-. pie, by a hare majority vote of the | General Assembly. In regard to the homestead, call I to mind tho opinions and advice of prominent conservative lawyers, who construed the HOMESTEAD ACT to apply only to new debts, claiming' that it did not relate to obligations ■ contracted prior to 18t>8. .Should, these mo obtain control of the Su- 1 preme Court, what will become oft the liomested, as applied to old ' debts? No “restrictions” will save ! the debtor class iu such a contingen-' cy. " | r lhe constitution [ART. 5, sec. 6] a!-, lows the General Assembly tho EXEMPT FROM TAXATION certain property, to a value not ox deeding three hundred dollars. Not- ! withstanding this liberal provision. ' the late legislature, iu the Maeliinery Act. exempts only twenty-live dol lars worth of personal property. [Sec. 12.] Rut in the same Act, in cases of incomes, five hundred dol lars are exempted. [«Stc. U.J Add to , this the exemption ot one thousand dollars in the Act to raise revenue, j and we have, a together, fifteen hun-! dred dollars exempted from the tax upon incomes. And while there is j exempted hut twent-five dollars up on agricultural implements and the | tools of mechanics, there is no taxi whatever upon the hooks of lawyers ; and other professional men. Again: The same legislature, in the 1 LANDLORD AND TENANT ALT* (Chap. 209) puts the renter and crop per absolutely within the power oi the landlgfd, b* profiding, in cases of renting; whewer the contract he mrbalo r written, that the land own m shal have ajten upon the crops ■isedffiwhich lijpi “shall he prefer- Ad tAll otheWiciiß.” And if any ! tenant shall remove any part ot the ! crop, without giving five daya' no tice, before the debt is paid, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Here, it will he observed, tW us ual safe-guards of a written contract, to hind a poor mail’s property are not required, and the crops are mortgaged by the operations of an act of the legislature. They also wish to delude the la boring classes of the WHIJE POPULATION into the belief that wheu they obtain unlimited control ofthe government, they will pass laws putting the ne groes down, and under them. They know thus is impossible, under the constitution of the United States, which prevents discrimination be cause of race, color or previous con dition of servitude. Rut they care no more tor the humbler classes men; and in order to reduce the blacks to a degraded position, they arc com pelled to legislate also AGAINST THEIR OWN RACE. Thus, in the ease of the charter of the city ot Wilmington, already alluded to, in the first and second wards, there are less than seven htm | dred voters, all told; while in the | third ward, there are eo/ht handful j white voters, and two thousand col- ! I ored voters. Rut the first ami! 'second wards (where the wua'tliy ■nun reside) have a larger represents-, lum in the city council, than the ! third ward, in which, the white vo-! tors alone (being mostly ineeiianics ami laborers) exceed in number at ■ j the voters of the other two wards ] Here, in striking at the colored man. I they are compelled to distian li - the labor ng white men. the av,n<.. j conflict witn the constitution o; iln-i | United States, that it may in- said, j j there is no discrimination lie:we«*i | the two races. There is n > dmiht j j they can annex such qualifications I i for voters that will exclude man; colored men; as tor ins.cnee (Imiv ! gardnig tiie restrictions) , 1 . th 1 black man shall he a lamlh.ndcr, ... j worth five hundred dollars; Inn tii 11 I they wil. lie obliged to a Id me -sun : qualification to the poorer ciass-s ! the white voters. We inaiix now to see i the purposes ot the conspirator: ; Diserimiiiatoiis are made betwee the rich man an i Ins poor neiglnmi the tendency of all this sort ot lego latino being to add to the strong!; ot the strong and trample upon .h rights ofthe weak. This quest on of so-called const it 1 tiomil rcliu m is alter a:I but an is-u between ttie haughty louts ot th soil, who, before ill • war, governe with absolute sway; and the poo and humble classes, whim they now would deprive ot in. sweets ofiiberty, conferred by tin constitution ot I til is. Tin- pom mat whether w li.le or colored, would it* well not to heed their HONEYED WORDS AND GILDED PROM j I isks - . i They cannot he sure that even the ( restrictions of the Convention-Act j will be regarded, many members 01 the dominaut party openly scouting! j them; and some ot their editors ex ; claiming, "Let us hear no more a-! I bout abiding by the act calling the i convention, so tar as the oaths and | restrictions are concerned.” Thus do the conspirators trample; | upon the principle that sovereignty, j is vested m tiie people, and that con ] ! stitutions are hut limited grants of I power from the people, and should 1 never be trained to enslave he poor ; maul The plotters also desire to RESTORE THE COUNTY COURTS. They would afflict a law-ridden peo ple w ith a multiplication of tribunals, I which tho present constitution has ! abolished. Do they intend to bcui-! tit the people or the lawyers? Do | the tax payers wish to sustain six ' courts a year, when two will do as well? Would they have their time wasted and their money wrung lioin ' them to support a useless and euin-. | hrous system? 1 Mo it is intended !TO DO AWAY WITH THE TOWNSHIPS, : the governments of true democracy. ! —The schemers say this system was I never heard of before the event of: the “sciolists, carpet-baggers and ne gros.” But I'harles K Fisher, a leading democrat, iu the General Assembly of 1*54, introduced into the senate, a hill providing for the appointment of a Council of Select ! men for every county, with the same 1 powers and authority, and to he e- I lcctcd iu the same manner, as our \ present township trustees. Resides being a system that has worked well lin other states, it was thus not a novelty 111 North Carolina. It is objected that the township system will not successfully woik iu a SPARSELY SETTLED COUNTRY. i Rut the system inatigualcd the Am [cricau Revolution. Because of it. I the people were taught to tely upon themselves and govern themselves. The min ate ffien of tho Revolution were created by the township sys tem, and fought the first battles in the war of independence, at Concord and Lexington. And these glori ous achievements, by which the British arms were overthrown, were accomplished in a sparsely settled territory, and were the results ofthe system it is now sought to over throw. Tiie townshisp system is an EDUCATION IN SELF-GOVERNMENT mid has been commended, at ail times, by political thinkers, who have had at heart the good of the people. Ills oae of the grandest of political principles, leaving abso lutely to neighborhoods the right to govern themsel ves in local matters; and is essentially opposed to the idea of of centralisation, or a consoli dated government. It eomes with an ill grace from the party CRYING OUT AGAINST CONSOLIDA TION, to favor the uprooting of a system that is diametrically opposed to the central idea. The system is neces sary to a government of the people, lieing of the people and for the peo ! pie. Ry its operations, they learn self-reliance, and do not depend up on a central power for life and ener gy; and in turn, they strengthen the general government, giving to health and vitality in nil its parts. In those states where it has not ( been in operation, there have always • been gieat numbers of illiterates; j while the contrary is true in comma : uities where it has existed. The I reason is plain—within the town j ship governments, it is impossible to sustain COMMON SCHOOLS. | Tims, in the old slave-holding states, ' these educators of the people have ; fe*en wanting; and now, if this sys : tcin ;s abolished, common schools ; can in ver he established, and the ' people will he deprived of the ad van ngis ot education. It is the purpose ofthe plotters to ; 11 ; plv tiiemseives and their friends •viin office, this hi ing a prominent 'ha in ail their scheming in pas u.g the convention hill, the late ■•g atari- piovdid for their own joiitiuuioee .11 power.

The cost !of the sitting of the body will in it -1 self he enormous, and the longer the session, the greater the expense. It ! the constitution should be materially amended, the preseat system of statute-laws would be overturned, requiring new statutes to be enacted.
