' . - . -" " -- ' j , s ! f CONVENTION. Tuesday, 'October 10, 1865. The Coil ventioh tnet at 10 o'ciock, a. m., and was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Craven, of the Methodist church. - i . The journal wai read. Mr. Mclvpr, Jrom the committee on magistrates, reported an ordinance limitlpg the number of Justices ' la each county rr Allow b two in each captain's dis trict, and-five for the district In which the' court . house U located. Mr. Garland, irom the same committee, presented as a minority report, an ordinance providing for the '-'election of jristlces by ballot; that they hold office fotir years, and that each eounty shall elect one mag- 1 istrate for everyeighty voters. - !Mr. Winston, from the committee on the debts of the State, reported that there was no difference of opinion in regard to the debt of the State contracted before the war. AH concurred In the opinion that it should be paid, but there was much diversity as to the new or .war debt The committee recommended that no action be taken on either of these subjects at present, but that the matter He over to an adjourned session, iapd asked to be discharged from its further ( consideration, ?. ' Mr. Settle moved that the rules be suspended so that the report might be now considered. Mr. Settla said b proposed to discuss this subject &t once, and made.tbe motion in jorder to bring up a debate which would be, no doubtt, a protracted one, at early hoar. 'The question must be considered, and could not be stifled. The States of Alabama, South Carolina and Korth Carolina had passed stay law?, and he was not prepared to advance his own private opinion against the judgments of these States as to its constitutionality. The just debt of the State, incurred in the discbarge of its legitimate duties as a State, was one which should be , paid with interest. He was no repudiator, but he believed with the dls 4. tinguished delegate from akeMr. Moore, that on , -the subject of the war debt, the question was one of assumption and non-assumption, and not repudiation. This war debt was an illegal one, and the credit of North Carolina would be greatly enhanced by a for mal declaration by this Convention that the old Stale Intended to pay her honest debts unencumbered by -. one contracted in aiding in an attack upon the life of 5 the nation. The debt was unjust, because contracted , while North Ca.olina was outside the pale of her legal obligations, and contracted also when she had lno right so to do. Mr. Settle repeatedly and earnestly denied being a repudiationist, but claimed to be merely a non-assumptionist. . Mr. Calclwell opposed the suspension. He said that ieformatlon could be given the convention that f would show the course proposed by the delegate from Bockingham to be repudiation of the worst type. t Mr. Settle withdrew his motion to suspend the rules at the suggestion of Mr. Thompson, who moved that the report be made the special order fer to-morrow at 11 o'clock. Ruled out of order by the chair. V Mr. Settle renewed his motioo.; - Mr. Boydea opposed the suspension, as matters of more importance should be attended to at Once ; this report would come" op in regular course to-morrow. The fact that it was a mere matter of assumption fas the very reason why the matter should not be ken up. The' war debt being illegal, it had no bind ig force on anybody, and it was useless to touch the lbject unless some one proposed o assume it. Mr. Settle sid that to leave this subject as it tood, was, to put it in the power of coming leg Jtures to assume the debt. ? Mr. Boy den said that he desired that the busi es relating to the reorganization of the State iould be first attended to, and after that he was srfectly willing that other measures should be ar ued and acted, on . -He had not intimated what his course would be i this question, and had no dgsire or intention to ifle debate or retard action, but he desired that ;oper order should be observed. Mr. Settle pressed his motion. Ut. Caldwell, of Guilford, said he was opposed J suc.h hasty action on such an important meas re. . ; The integrity of the good old State, was at stake, delegates should be careful how they placed 2 stain of repu diation on her fair escutcheon. !Ir. Winston saiJ thit the committee was influ ;ed in their action by the opinion that the legi te objects of the Convention viz: the restora Tpf the State to the Union should not be sub? inated to this explosive subject which, from ent indications, would lead to an almost inter ible debate. T rir.Comglaud said that he considered it out of sr t ) debate the question at this juncture. The 'egate from Rockingham had taken the non-as-xtption of this debt under his jespecial guardian :p. When debate was in order, there were men on the floor who would not shrink from the re )nsioility of declaring and supporting their )WS. ' The vote being taken, the rules were not sus iided, yeas 47, nays 70. "Ir. Brown rose to make a personal explanation. 'Jeilence when the motion was made to lay on fVble the resolutions introduced by himself, rin that although diversity of opinion on the . of b'ecession had existed in the United States, this State accepts as the result of the war the decision thtastate has nonsuch right, might jns trued into an intention not to support them, j motion to lay on the table had precluded that port It was eminently proper that such an horitative declaration should be made by the ie.

RALEIGH, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 11, 1865. NO. 281. The ordinance to provide for the election of justices of the peace, together with substitutes and amend ments, was read, and on motion of Mr. Settle, refer red to the committee on the revision of the constitu tion. The ordinance declaring what laws and ordinances are In force, was read, with amendments proposed by the committee. Mr. Settle moved to make it the special order for Wednesday. Not agreed to. The ordinance was then considered, but after a protracted debate on the different sections, with the amendments thereto, the Convention adjourned to 10 oclock to-morrow without coming to a vote. f The Pbesident's Policy -What He said to Hee schel V. Johnson. -The Augusta Chronicle says : We have had the pleasurejof a long interview with the Hon. H. V. Johnson, who has just returned from Washington. He appears to be much pleased with his visit to that city. The President, he says, seems to be willing to do all he. can for the South, and belie ves in kind and conciliatory measures . Of course , his policy is bitterly denounced by tbe radicals, and will be opposed by them when Congress assembles. Mr. J. thinks it the plain duty of the South to give all questions which will cause debate and excitement, rhe go-by ; simply do that which it is necessary to do in order to be admitted to Congress U possible, and unite in support of the President. He also thinks that it is the duty of every Southern State to elect men as members of Congress whose antecedents can furnish the radicals with no pretext to oppose them taking their seats. He is of . the opinion that the coming session of tbe National Legislature will be a turbulent one, and that a great deal will depend upon its action. He also thinks if the Southern States do that which is right, avoid all disturbance within their borders, aad elect the right kind of men as their del egates to Congress, that the conservative men of the North will force the radicals to give way and finally admit them, if they strive to keep them out at first. Mr. J. says it is the opinion in Washington, that there must soon be a change in the Cabinet. During his tour through the North, he found there a great conservative element which was in favor of treating the South kindly, and of having the most lenient measures adopted. He is of the opinion that this party was already in the ascendenoy, as far as num bers were concerned, and would make their strength felt at the coming elections. " But a great deal," remarked Mr. J., " a very great deal, in fact, all I might say, depends upon the course pursued by our State Conventions, and by our own people." A First Rate Noticb. The Boston Post gives Charles Sumner the following first-rate notice. Mr. Sumner's pompous assumption of the office of dictator to the American government and people cannot fail to create derision and disgust among sensible foiks. His inflated style and elaborate proounciamentoes shame Santa Anna's proclama tions to the Mexicans, while his swell and strut are as absurd as the attempt of the monte black leg to rule a nation by fulminations from his West India Island. Sumner has abundance of gas at his com mand, but not the kind to raise him to the attitude of common sense or political truth. He was spoil ed in the shell, and all his statesmanship is addled. He manifests no conception of the true greatness of a country of the importance of its vast products, its mechanical ingenuity and enterprise. Instead of regarding the Erie canal as an artery of the na tion's life, he would have it filled up if told that negro children were liable to be drowned in its waters ; instead of contemplating the great power of transportation afforded by our gigantic railroads and their influence in binding the country together, he would endeavor to provide seats for negroes in the cars, or in looking after the dikes, storks and verrniu of Holland, or soaring toward those regions of his fancy, rise far above tdis, bread and butter world into the realms f beautified spirits where John Brown is marching an. A Boston dispatch says that the Republicans of Lawrenct have elected delegates to the Sixth Con gressional District Convention who are lavorable to the choice of Gen. Banks in that district for Congress. Gen. Couch has accepted the Democratic nomi nation for Governor of Massichuse tte. MARKET REPORT OOKSBOTBD DAILT IT El. A. .

Pescud, was slaughter ed night before last by some parties ualiceused and up to this moment unknown. The only traces of generosity left behind by the midnight butchers were the horja and hide another proof that there is an increasing demand for meats and a wide-spread dis position to enjoy them at the expense of others. If the people of the city woald protect themselveslrom such ra!ds, they must provide adequate police force or else lock within stone Talis possessions of a port able nature. We are not altogether fimillar with the police sys tem of Raleigh ; but we do know that numerically it is insufficient for the new order, of things by which we are surrounded. The present officers of this mu nicipality were numerous enough previous to 1861 to answer every requirement f good order ; but times are changed-1 the character no loss than the figures of our population has altered and we must pre pare for the emergency by organizing a night and a day police. We mean two separate and distinct bod ies, for it will be physically impossible for twelve men to perform duty without relief. Rogues and we had almost written criminals of every shade, are or will be upon us ; we mist meet them with agents of law at every corner ; or else pay a higher penalty than is involved in a feveents of increased taxation. Person and property ar now very insecure without the remedy we propose this unsafety must be aggra vated as the season of winter advances. We hope the commissioners of the city may decide to enlarge the police force here. It is very certain, we incline to think, that the taxes to be paid into the corporation treasury by our new population, will more than counterbalance the extra expenditures. In any contingency, inquiry into the matter can do no possible harm and may convince them of the ne cessity of some such course as is here Intimated. The Citt Poor. A lady whose heart is ever ac tive in good works, advises us that there is more disr tress and actual want among the poor in this city than the most sensitive minds begin to suppose. If true Christianity or humanity has any existence in the community, the bire mention of the deplora ble straits of the very peer, widows and orphans in particular, will elicit practical sympathy. But the allusion we thus make justifies the suggestion that Gov. Hoi den would perform a great work in behalf of humanity if he should adopt some plan for ascer taining the number of Indigent people in the various counties, and also whether the same counties will be able to provide for such population during the com ing winter. Sach prudent foresight would enable him to show such facts tcthe people abroad as might secure many unfortunate but deserving people from positive starvation. Passing Through. In accordance with the pre viously announced policy of the government, colored troops are constantly behg sent from North Caro lina. The 7 th regiment passed through the city on Monday evening, remained at the Gaston depot ail night and left yesterday morning for home via Pe tersburg. Last evening the 4th nglment, Gen. Duncan's old command, reached here aid left this morning by the same improvement for a like destination. In a few j weeks we shall not have,lt is probable, a dozen col- ored soldiers in our State. In a short time, indeed, military rule be altogether superseded by the civil authority that is, If the convention la only true to Its trust and ths people ratify the labors of that body. We hope that nothing will transpire to mar the fair prospect before ns. Thb Why? Rev. Crammond Kennedy, as we intimated yesterday, did not lecture the preceding evening at the Baptist church. The disappointment to the public was brought about by the fact that that charch cannot b opened for any other purpose than worship. It appears that the church passed a resolution to that effect some time ago. The occurrence is another illustration of the good policy of building a pubiio hall in our midst, adapt ed not only tor the use of Iscturers, but concerts and the like. Put it up.
