OBSERVATIONS.
A gentleman from the Washington Star
office, who has been proepecting at Sarato

impression in political circles that the Re

of Ulysses S. Grant.

will never assent to the election of a con

of $7,000,000. What a tremendous tax is this

AS TO THE QUALIFICATIONS OF
VOTERS.
The law bookstell jas 'that rnauf in
bis first existence' had ;np ytnater
Might was always right anjil brute
force was justice, or what was the
same thing, prevailed. Human exis
tence was nomadic, and very soon
after the earth began to be peopled,
men gathered themselves into tribes.
It very I soon became apparent that
lawsjnast.be ,. established for the pro
tection of the weak, and the defence
of the innocent. Society was formed
and laws were adopted for its govern
ment. One of the first things to be
decided was who was to say what that
law should be, and, who should ad
minister it. This question every tride,
race or nation, bad the right to deter
mine for itself, so far as its own gov
ernment was concerned. One nation
put this power in the hands of one
man, or .woman, and thus established
monarchy. Another vested the power
of. the government in the hands of
certain nobles, or princes of the realm,
and thus formed what is now termed
an aristocratic government. A third
form of government was that of a
democracy, in which all the power of
government remained in the hands of
the people, except such as were dele
gated to certain persons, who repre
sented the sovereignty of the people.
The last form of r government was
adopted oh the Wester h'Continet, and
under its benign blessings, we have
seen a nation spring from Plymouth
Rock and Roanoke Island, under
which if properly administered, the
oppressed of all nations may rest and
enjoy its privileges. It was founded
upon honesty, and until the great ship
of State drifted from her moorings,
our government, was well said to have
ushered in the day star of liberty;
Until the rights, privileges and benefits
conferred by it were basely prostituted
to partisan, or pecuniary ends, by the
creatures of the government, who
usurped its power for personal or
party aggrandizement, all was welt.
Suffrage, one of the highest rights
known to all governments, was justly
conferred, by common consent upon
the male white citizen with certain
qualifications and limitations. It was
indeed one of the rights which was
not surrendered to the officers of gov
ernment. It was a question which
each State in its sovereign capacity
regulated for itself. In North Caroli
na, up to the year 1835, free negroes,
who were of proper age, and who had
not been disfranchised for felony , were
allowed to vote, in all elections. At
that time a property qualification was
fixed for -persons who were allowed to
vote for members of the N. Carolina
Senate, and the right of the free ne
groes to vote, was taken from that
class. In 1858 the property qualifica
tions of electors for the Senate was
voted down by the people of the State,
and the restrictions removed.
We have been thus particular to
mention these changes in the laws re
aring to suffrage in North Carolina,
because we purpose to show, if we can,
that it is the duty of the Convention
now in session at Raleigh to impose
some further restrictions upon the
qualifications of voters in this State.
We suppose that every man of good
common sense, in North Carolina, will
admit that this is a question which
belongs exclusively to the State in her
sovereign capacity. This being admit
ted we must insist that the right of
suffrage should to a certain extent, be
dependent upon the proper discharge
of certain Other, duties, which every
good citizen owes to his government.
As far back as the establishment of the
priesthood by Moses, the "citizen was
required to pay tithes to1 his govern
ment, because go vernm ient necessarily
incurred certain expenses which were
paid out of a common treasury. The
duty of the citizen to make this con
tribution was imperative. His rights
under the government were to a cer
tain extent made contingent, and if
he failed to contribute according to
his ability, he was frequently ' barred
from the participation of the rights
and benefits conferred by his govern
ment. There was no injustice in this.
because it was neither right nor pro
per that the burdens of government
should fall on the shoulders of one
man when his fellow man, who en-
oycd the same rights and privileges,
was exempt.
We hold then that it is only right
and proper, aye more, it is the duty of
the Convention, now in session, to re
quire every, voter to pay such taxes as
shall be assessed aeainst him. as a pre
requisite qualification to his right to

-EDirOKiAL COiBESPONDENCE.
THE CONVJCNTION.
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 10.
Nothing pf a startling character took
place in the Convention to-day. - Presi
dent Ransom was sufficiently recovered
from his indisposition to call the Con
vention to order, but soon after he had
to call the Hon. John Manning, of
Chatham, to the chair and return to his
room. A vast numoer .01 resolutions
and ordinances, looking to the amend
ment of the Constitution, were intro
duced and referred to appropriate com
mittees. In accordance with what we
earn is the Radical programme, and
will be kept up every , day during the
session, Col. Ike Young, of Granville,,
introduced a resolution to adjourn sine
die. The chair decided that the resc-
ution must lie over under the rules till
to-morrow at 12 o clock.
GOSSIP AROUND ABOUT THE CAPITOL.
The Radicals are in a quandary, and
have agreed upon no line of policy yet,
except to adjourn the Convention sine
die if they can catch the Democrats
napping. It will be seen that yester
day's Era declines to comment at pres
ent on what it is pleased to term the
'extraordinary manner of organization
of the Convention, without a precedent
in North Carolina," but promises to do
80 next week. Yes, Radicalism is dumb-
bunded.
The Rads have had stormy times in
their caucus. The first row was about
the color Kne. Think of it, my bleeding
countrymen, the color Kne in a Radical
caucus! Bowman, Chamberlain, Du-
a and Hampton 'wanted a wounded
Confederate soldier, from Mitchell,
nominated for doorkeeper. Badger,
and Justice of Rutherford, wanted a
Wake county negro nominated. Bow-1
man said Wake county wanted every
thing. Badger said Wake gave more
Radical votes than were cast by all the
counties over the Ridge, and that the
vast majority of the voters of Wake
were negroes, and that the .fact should
be recognized by the party. Badger
won and the Wake negro was nomi
nated. We have referred to the race
between Norton, crippled Confederate,
the Democratic nominee, and Jones,
negro, in a previous communication.
By the by we had the color line in the
Convention again to-day. This body
went into the election of enrolling
clerk and., assistanl, rolling clerk.
Herron, of Haywood, was. nominated
by; the Democrats for the first; position,
anti the Hon.M.,0. Waddell,, of Chat
ham, for the second. Smythe -negro),
from New Hanover, nominated Saw
yer, a carpet bag Wake county negro,
Radical caucus nominee, for' the first
nosition. "The Western white1 Radical
delegates ' commenced dodging and
thro wing, off, . Woodhn, of Henderson
county, being the only delegate west of
the Ridge who had the courage to. .vote
for an Eastern carpet-bag negro against
a Western white man. - "To relieve some
of j his white friends," Smythe, of New
Hanover, withdrew Sawyer's name when
the vote' was over, and Woodfin begged
to change his vote. Oh! that .negro
question 1, The most, amusing dodging
occurred when Smythe. nominated Saw
yer (negro), for the second position"
against Mrv Waddell. Ike Young tried
to get over the matter by ' stating Mr
Waaaeii wouia pe eiectea anyway, ana
moving to make Mr. Waddeirs iXeclpM

we wilT sate . that there was in the
hands of the Chairman' of the Demo
cratic State; Executive Committee; dur
ing the recent campaign, only the piti
ful sumof $54.40. '' This .we learn from
the chairman himself. On the other
hand the Radical Executive Committee
had control of $10,000, which xthey

ic party treasury is shameful, when we
reflect that our party has -forty-five
thousand worth of Congressional dele
gation, fifty thousand dollars worth of
State officers, and quite as much in
county officers!
Gen. Cox, the chairman of the State
Executive Committee, is in possession
of the official vote of the State; which
he has arranged in such a way as to
show the gains and losses since the
Merrimon and Caldwell campaign. We
copied, and give below, the popular
vote on Convention in the Congression

majority against Convention is only
5,254, and not 12,000 as the Radicals

THE PROPOSED COUP DE ETAT.
It was whispered around on Sunday
previous to the assembling of the Con
vention, that the Radicals proposed to
raise another Louisiana embroglio
witWout the aid of Federal military.
That they proposed, if the Radical
Robeson county claimants were not
allowed to qualify, and this , would
give the Democrats the majority; they
would take forcible possession of the I
speaker's chair. It has since been as
certained from various Radical sources j
that this was the program me, and that
but for two circumstances it would :
have been attempted. The first was
the fact that Judge Settle, instead of
Secretary Howerton qualified the dele
gated Secondly, because the time
they proposed to make the rush was
while the swearing in wasgoing on,
and until it was over they were" confi
dent that Ransom would . act with
them and give them one majority.
We perhaps did Judge Settle injustice
id a previous communication, ilis
agitation is easily explained now. He
doubtless had some intimation of the
designs of his party friends, and hence
his anxiety. We have heard from va
rious sources that the Radicals had
gotten possession of all the field am
munition in the city, including all that
belonged to the Raleigh Light Infan
try, and that the mob of negroes which
assembled at the capitol did so at the
suggestion of John Page and the other
negro delegates, and that they were
informed where the arms and ammu
nition were stored. This accounts for
the fearful influx of Federal office
holders, especially such .distinguished
cut-throats as McLindsay, of Kirk war
fame. It is said that all those who
crowded the lobby were armed to the
teeth. It has since transpired that the
grand flourish of Dixon, of Green,
meant more than we imagined at the
time. When he rose alter the eighth
or ninth ballot ana said, it 13 very
close; thi3 may last forever. 'These,'
said be, pointing to the galleries and
lobby, "are all our friends ; why should
we not select a President?" It was
thoght by most persons to be adrunken
ebulition, but he was Only suggesting
that tnis was tne time lor the covp
dee tat! If the Radicals had attempt
ea to carry out mis programme weare
not prepared to say, what would have
been. the result, but there are said to
nave been fifteen or twenty Democrats
behind the Speaker's desk who. sus
pected their designs, and a number of
the revolutionists wouldprobably have
gone to that country, ..where - John
Page wanted to send the- white folks
before they accomplished their pur
pose. Which is the revolutionary
party, the Democratic or the Republi

the public at-large, that lie is prepared to
furnish Plans of all kinds of -buildings,

be found much plainer than those of any
other man in the State, he being a practical
builder, having an experience of 15 years in
three of the largest cities of the United
States- He can answer any question or give
any Information in regard to the construc
tion of any part of the building, as he is
fully gualifiedQ and do the work him
self. With 15 years as a builder and 14 as
an Architect, he knows just .what is. neces
sary tor a mechanic to get along with, and
with ibis experience you will at once see
that he has a pretty good knowledge of the
business. You can judge for yourself as to
whether a man is an Architect without be
ing a practicai builder. Some in this State
claim to beArchitects when they have no
knowledge of the business and can only be
called draftsmen, and need some one to in
struct tbem at all tim&'sbeuld they "under
take a job For the fast six ; "years he has
been employed in this State, and has done
all the best buildings, wUh 6nly"a few, ex
ceptions in Raleigh, GoWebow and, Greens

persons can see his work.
In Charlotte be would, call attention to S
P Smith's Iron Front Building, and Sims &
Dowd's Store, and a number of the private
residences here.
" He refers to all who have employed him
as Architectipd -)&nierntedent, as. to his
ability, "He can furnish, if'toyl.des"ire.them?
the name of parties and buildings, but. can
not do so here for the want of room.
He can show as many line buildings as
any other man of his age,, and will take
pleasure in doing so, A nyperson visiting
Charlotte is invited to call and examine his
drawings, which he has at least 500. He
guarantees to have 50 to 1 of any other per
