l CHA3. B. JJSEi CditM aud Proprietor FrM from tbe doting ncruplfc that fetter our i' frae-born reason." WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1879. the cosmnoi i,e:e s TO DAT. There has never beei a more import ant convention of WW kind m Uus eity than that which willj. assemble at the opera house at noon tota j. It is a con vention of Northern men who have made their homes in the outh,and' who come together now for the purpose of certifying to tlieir brethren on the other side of the line what manner of land this is in which they have cast their lots. Tlfls convention has not been set :on foot as.;' a; political move ment It is designed altogether in a material sense, and in this direction, it is destined, we honestly believe, to ef fect no small amount of good. The in fluence which will go ont from it will be such as could go dutfrom.no other lody of men. Its utterances, it must be known, are without .any object other than the public good. In its very na ture and character it is entirely untram meled, un purchasable, and above the influence of any particular faction or interest It is above party for the rea son that in the issuance of the call to it men were invited without reference to party ; indeed, all were invited, the only limitation teing as to birtli and present residence. This fact forbids tbe idea that the con vention was inaugurated in any par ticular interest or that it can be the de sign of any one to "pack" it in any given interest We of the South who are out side and apart from it, look to it with great interest aa a body which, to a very .great extent has our future welfare in its hands. Its character will be known abroad and its influence in turning im migration' toward or from the South will be greater in fact than that of any convention of any sort whatsoever, we verily believe, that has ever met in this country. The declarations of this body of men will be believed uidn a ques tion when similar decl.trations of thrice as large a body of Southern men would be disbelieved. This convention which meets in Charlotte to-day will command a larger sharge of influence upon the Northern mind than is possessed by the combined Senators and Representatives of the Southern States in Congress to day. The latter are suspected of sinis ter motives in all that they say concern ing this section ; the former, owing to its peculiar composition, is free from this suspicion. The reasons why its influ ence must be great in shaping the senti ment of the Northern mind in reference to;the South, are patent to any mind : it is non-political; it is non-sectarian; its members havejio axes to grind, no lands to sell to settlers, and can have no inter est,director remote, in misrepresenting the situation of affairs in the South. This might not be true if the convention were one of natives ; it might not, it hardly would be true, if it were in the hands of politicians of either party. So much for the reasons that induce the belief on our part that this will be a very influ ential body. We have befriended the movement on faith. We believe m advance in the honesty of the men who will compose the convention. The politicians and the stirrers-up of strife will give it a wide berth for the reason that they know that they cannot impress their peculiar notions upon it. The body will be formed of bona fide settlers;, men who have come South to live and who, like the great masses of the peo ple everywhere, take no stock in the schemes of the modern politicians. These men can be depended upon to tell the truth, and to have the truth told is what we want; we want no part of it kept back. We hppe this convention hereto-day will express itself, as we have no doubt it will, fully and freely. We hope it will, reflect the opinions which its individual members honestly hold of the Southern soil, the climate, the mineral wealth, the water-power, the forests, and the methods of agriculture. We hope they will speak of the social relations which surround them here;, of the church privileges ; of the education al facilities ; of the adaptability or non adaptability of the soil to different growths grain, cotton, grasses, $c. We hope, in short, that they will tell all that a man seeking out a home in a new country, would be apt to ask concerning it of one who was acquainted with it thoroughly. The convention will tell, as it should, of the good and bad alike representing the defects as well as the advantages of the South as a home to settlers. We do not fear to have the truUi known, provided all the truth is known, and it would be well to have it stated whether freedom of speech or of the ballot is denied or abridged in the South. The Observer, jmust not le under stood, however, as attempting to map out work for this convention or of at tempting to force suggestions upon the members. As a meeting of very great importance and as one in which we feel a singular interest, we have embraced the opening day of the session as a fit occasion to indulge in these general re marks, and this done, nothing remains for lis to do except to extend to the dele gates a. very cordial greeting. We wel come them heartily to our little city, and trust that their sojourn among our people may be a pleasant one and that it may leave many pleasant memories! behind, A Raleigh correspondent of the Wel AonNeiBS writes that paper that "efforts will be made to form the State ticket for 1880, this winter, 5ut in this, respect no developments have jet taken place, but the ground will be 'honeycombed witli iulaefi ti&untefatoea by the time the session closes. frfcrefirwntedTth'atr15r-laBoa Dfi execution is in public. tje condemned JMf rWMhii?

The year of grace 1879 promises "to he rather a bad year for the propagation of newspapers in North Carolina. Since the first of January four of themlhave petered out the last of these being the Asheville Pioneer, Republican, "which lived to publish its own obituary in its Issue of the 11th. In its closing issue the editor, Gen. John C. Gorman, writes : Tt,P farria. it is an uDhill business to run a Republican sheet iri North Caro lina iR-iirnea past Republicans ?who read, have been furnisnea ineir uew- Eaper literature gratis, and the custom as so grown upon them that they ex pect it to be continued ; aim some juc- puDiican omciius, luuuwwg they adopted in appointments,; if they have patronage to bestow, to ingratiate themselves with their enemies, feed their foes and starve their friends. This policy has about crushed out the Repub lican press of the State, until the Wil mington Post, the Greensboro North State, the Winston Republican, the Elizabeth City Carolinian, and the Roane Mountain Republican, are all that remain. With one hundred and ten thousand voters, this is a burning shame, and the party may expect to re main in the mire of defeat and con tinue disorganized, so lone as they allow those who are disposed to assist them, to starve out. Gen. Gorman talks like a man who has cut a new set of teeth ; like one who is not going to throw up his hat any more until he is furnished with the elbow grease. This is not journalism of the highest order to split one's shirt for the partv or keep it on one's back, according as one is paid or not paid for it but it is Southern Republican jour nalism, and Gen. Gorman has shown himself to be one of its truest expo nents. ST1TE A XI) FEDERAL AUTHORITY. The irrepressible conflict between State and i ederal authority goes on, and though the scene shifts frequently the conflict is unchanged. The latest cases, since that in Virginia, are one in Florida and one in Tennessee. In the former, which came up in the circuit court of the United States for that State. Judse Settle of course held the eld Federalist idea, and in the latter the Tennessee case one Davis, a deputy internal revenue collector, shot and killed one Ilayues. Davis, we see it stat ed ."was indicted in the State court for murder, and sought to remove the case to the circuit court of the United State? The judges of that court, Baxter and Trigg, in order that the case might be carried up to the Supreme Court, agreed to disagree, and certified their disagree ment to the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States." The case will thus come up in that court, and its decision will set tle all similar case?. Gen. A. C. Garlington has from the editorial chair of the ville (S. C.)

Less Concern Tin Germany Kegardiug tbe Matter than Outside The Chan cellar Likely to Posh the Mat- ; L ter Through. London, January 14A-A Berlin dis patch says: The parliamentary pun ishment bill continues to be the chief topic of conversation in all political cir cles. The opinion of the foreign press is largely quoted in' comparison with" heKarticIes in the journals here, wrhich seems to yield thecuriou-result that abroad there is moreropposition "to tne Chancellor's scheme than -in Germany itself. There is certainly great opposi tion here to the bill, though to the Eng- lsh mind it is somewhat surprising to find so much unconcern? reigning in view of the fate which-seems to threat en tbe freedom of speech nd the liber ty of the press. The Nord Deutsch Al- legememe Zeitung and the Poste (let end the Chancellor s scheme. The Koeng Zeituug, though admitting the necessi ty for some restraint upon parliamenta ry speech, thinks with the Liberals that the bill in its present form is inadmissi ¬ ble, tor the reason that it changes seve ral articles of the constitution by the Reichstag to that effect. In parliamen tary circles the question is being dis cussed whether the bill, m view ot cer tain articles of the imperial constitu tion, might not be rejected a limine. That might doubtless be done if a ma jority of the House would only resolve to do it, but many persons here believe that Bismarck, despite the present op position, will ultimately succeed in car rying the measure with but lew changes." WEPDIXG DRESSES DEL WEI). A Wt-dthtift Coi.scquetrtly Postponed i lit- Efforts to Avert Such a MiMiap. New York Sun, 13th. A package containing three Paris dresses lay in the appraiser's depart ment of the custom house oh Monday last, addressed to Miss Evelyn liailey, of Petersburg, Virginia, who was to nave been married on tne following day to Pr. McLane Tiffany, of Balti more, a relative ot Tirtany, tbe jeweler, of this city. Invitations to the wed ding had been sent out, One of these dresses was the one in which Miss Bai ley was to have been married, another a carriage dress, and the third a travel ing dress. They had been shipped from Paris in the steamer Labrador, which was expected, to arrive in time to give ample opportunity for getting them through the custom house and having them reach Petersburg for fitting and inspection. lhe vessel was detained, and Custom House Broker McSorley was telegraph ed to look after the dresses and hasten them forward, Jle found that the ex aminers in Appraiser Kent's division had advanced the dresses from forty to fifty per cent, over the invoice values, making them liable to seizure for under valuation. He explained the situation to the appraiser and the collector, and they gallantly offered to waive all tech nicalities and aid him in getting the dresses on their way to the expectant lady in Petersburg. Mr. McSorley did his best, but red tape was too much for him. On Monday afternoon lie tele graphed: "The wedding will have to be postponed. Cannot get goods through in time," Duties and penalties amount ing to 04d francs were paid on the dresses on Tuesday afternoon, and they were on their way by lightning express to Petersburg within an hour after their surrender in the custom house. In one of the Petersburg newspapers of Wednesday last was the following account of the wedding: "Matrimonial At the residence of Mr. Judge Jaques, yesterday afternoon, Dr, McLane Tiffany, of Baltimore, and Miss Evelyn Bailey, of this city, were united in marriage, Rev. Di C. li. Haines, of St. Paul s chapel, officiating. Among tne distinguished attendants on the occasion were Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and lady, of Richmond. The chimes of ht. Paul's presented to the church by a sister of the bride, were merrily rung in honor of the occasion. The groom is a distinguished physician of Baltimore, and a relative of Tiffany, of JJew York. The couple left in the afternoon train for a bridal trip North." The reason for the postponement of the wedding from Tuesday was not ex plained. STATE NEWS.

Every Moment's Wonderful Work. Every moment that we live the work of destruc tion never ceases among what Is scientifically call ed '-the tissues" ot which our bodies are composed. Every moment, if we are in health, the work of re pairing this destructive process goes on with equal pace. When the vital force is great, more vigor is given to the blood and muscular fibre than the or dinary wear and tear of existence uses up. When the vital force fails from any cause, there ensues a wastfng away, which if not arrested, ends hi decay and death. Physicians all declare that when these symptoms of decline set in. the only certain reme dy is Cod Liver Oil. But their patients, with al most equal unanimity, say that Cod Liver Oil is "so nasty" they cannot take it The only resource left is to obtain Scott's Emulsion of the Oil with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. This is alto gether free from disagreeable taste and odor, and is an unequalled tonic, for the nerves and brain. A KfmarkableResuU.
