f HAS. R. JOBSS, Cdi(i and Proprietor "Free from the doting ncruptoliiat tetir our 4 free-bom rearfon.'? ' , ' FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1879, THE COSFESTIOS OF NOBTHER i SE ITtEas. The proceedings of tlie very itnport- city Wednesday, excluded from bur col umns, yesterday,' any thing in the na ture of comment except what was in cidentally thrown into the report rteelf. "Comment, however, to use the hack neyed phrase, "is unnecessary," or al most so, in the face of the proceedings as published. The series of thirty-one findings promulgated by the body adopted deliberately, seriatim, and sub sequently as a whole, carry their own comment with them, and nothing which could be added to them at this time could add aught to their force. They are full, complete, explicit and specific. They form a pen-picture the truthfut ness of which is attested by seventy five intelligent gentlemen gathered from five different States. These gen tlemen have no personal or political ends to subserve; they have no private gain in view; they are as disinterested as men can be, and they come together and say that such and such are facts. Who can gainsay anythingthat i3 said? Who is there to charge these gentlemen with bearing false witness? To what could so reckless a person point as furnishing a motive ? The work of this convention is preg nant with results. Its utterances bear the impress of truth upon their face; its deliverances must needs carry con viction with them. They will be felt every where felt to be true and recog nized at aglance as unanswerable. At once the most striking and the most gratifying feature noticeable in the proceedings of the convention was the entire harmony and singleness of purpose which obtained among its members. The temper of all those pres ent was responsive to the spirit of the call which brought them together. There were no two sets of opinions ex cept as to methods ; all were in accord with the temper of the.resolutions,"ahd when these were introduced and read by so good a man and so respected a citizen as Rev. Dr. S. Mattoon, presi dent of Biddle University, not a dis sentient was found in the house! Not one of all that number of,- not picked men, but men invited from every where ; men invited without reference to poli tics or religion oiany particular... set of views upon any particular subject. The personel of this body is a strong wall of defence standing between thoe findings and any person or persons, any where, who for any reason might attempt to controvert them. The facts asserted are all susceptible of proof, and he who would attack the source from which they' proceed must look well to the joints of his own armor; that of those of whom he , might desire to make antagonists, is impregnable. We have no desire to withhold ex pression of our gratification upon the result of the labors of the convention. It furnishes just such a document as it is needful to our welfare to have gen erally disseminated; and it emanates from just such a source as could give to it the greatest w eight. While thank ing the members of the convention for the lively interest which they man ifest in their adopted homes, and for the kindly and heartily Teciprocated sentiments which they entertain to ward those who were so lately their enemies, we congratulate the conven tion upon the results of this country as going far towards bringing about a per fect understanding between the dif ferent sections a consummation which has been so long and so devoutly wish ed for. THE REPEAL OF THE PRIVILEGE TX. A day or two ago our special corres pondent telegraphed us from Raleigh in regard to the repeal of the privilege tax paid by merchants under the pres ent revenue law, by the session of the State Legislature now in session at Raleigh. On the strength of the tele gram, we hunted up the law and found that the privilege, tax was " five dollars and one-tenth of one per centum on purchases made by merchants in or out of the State ;" and as the telegram was explicit only in .the fact that the "priv ilege tax" was. repealed, we construed it to mean that both the five dollar , tai and the ad valorem, tax were ' repealed. It now turns out that only that portion of the privilege tax which makes; the merchant liable for the payment of the five dollars is repealed, and that the ad " valorem tax of one-tenth of one' per centum remains. One, of .our. members, writing r from Raleigb under date .' of January 14tl, says: "The Legislature only, repealed the privilege tax of five dollars. ' -The license tax of one-tenth of one peir cen tum will first have to be fought in the committee on finance, and if we fail there, we will fight them in the House and Senate." We had no desire Or inclinations ti mislead anybody in regard to this mat ter, and take pleasure in explaining the situation as it is. T.The Saxabiesof J udges.

A special from Paris to the Daily Netos says: "The' ministerial situation is full ol aimcuitjtes out l neea not repeat the conrlicthigiiimors; whjch'will lose their interest after the declaration which Du- fate?tresiaerit of the i ministry, is 'ex pected to make m Parliament to-morrow (to-day). - The extreme Left object to Gresley, the new minister of war, as a satellite of the Duke D'Aumale, and think -the compensation awarded to General BoreL an enemy of Republican institutions, of the command of the Rouen corps, too pregnant evidence that the ministry has not shaken off the shackles of unconstitutional and irre sponsible power." , The Daily Telegraph's Paris dispatch says : "Gresley's Republicanism is not denied, and I do not think that the En- flishmen will appease the action of the liberals in opposing the appointment of a man whose only fault is that he is not the minister of their choice. There is even some talk of upsetting the cabi net, but I cannot imagine Gambetta permitting a party to tempt him into such unreasonable conduct." The Standard's Paris correspondent telegraphs the following as the opinion of a French military contributor: "The Left have fully made up their minds to have the ministers and are determined to remove all but Republicans from of fice, and to carry out the wishes of the electoral body, especially as regards the ministry of war. Gambetta's speech at Romans left no doubt as to the magni tude of the reforms that would be in sistedarpon. : Foremost among these is a change in the generals in command of the army corps, most of whom are re garded as hostile to Republican institu tions. These changes and reforms can not be expected to take place if there shall be at the head of the war office a man so undecided in character as Gen eral Gresley. His past, the company he keeps, and his general skepticism in all things, rank him among the members of that most unmeaning of parties, the "Constitutional Orleanists." The Left would have liked to have had General Faidherb, but his physical infirmities induced them to select General Favre, and it was General FavreJ whom Du f aure proposed for the office, but Presi dent MacMahon refused to sanction the appointment and threatened to resign if it was insisted upon. Dufaure yield ed and assented to the appointment of Gresley." TURSCTJflfTHE CHEYENNES. The Mortality Resulting from the Re cent Engagement. Fort Robinson, January 15. Gen.

Persons afflicted with rheumatism often suffer for a life time, their tortures being almost without re mission. The Joints and muscles of such unfortu nates are in most cases shockingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To afford them eren tempor ary relief, the ordinary remedies often prove utter ly useless. Hosteler's Stomach Bitters, on the other hand, Is avouched by persons who have used it to be a genuine source of relief. It keeps the blood cool by promoting a regular habit of body, and removes from it impurities which, in the opin ion of all rational pathologists, originate this agon izing complaint and its kindred malady, the gout. Besides this the Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach, liver and nerves, prevent and eradicate intermittent and remittent fevers, promote appetite and sleep, and are highly recommended by phy sicians as a desirable medicinal stimulant and tonic.
