Northern settlers held in your cityi on
the 15th ultimo. The voluntary and
unanimous expression of such senti
ments, facts and conclusions as are set
forth in the document , published over

the Northern States- who vnow , have,
homes in various localitiesand experi
ences in various employments in the
Southern States, will much toward

and the desirability of a residence or
home in those States represented inthat
convention. r . X ,
Hitherto the line of emigration for
the Northern birthright nas Deen u ine
westward and on lines of latitude cor
responding to the, "old home." To ac
count for this various reasons may be
stated:1 One is the-climatwkf arly life
is almost always satisfactory and
choice of a new home is usually made
where a like or approximating climate
is found; and this has suggested the
westward star as tne guiae. Anowier
is, the rich, inviting, virgin soil found
in the broad prairies, yielding f such
abundant returns to the husbandman

niA and vniinc neitrhbors and friends to
follow him. Another, the (main) public
highways formerly, and later the trunk
lines of railway, have been projected
and built to aid and promote western
emigration; to receive the benefits of
the outgoing emigrantndhereturn
' ing products of his labor to the markets
of the east -Another, and not th least,
and one which is to-day exercising to
some extent its influences over the ac
, tionsof somemen. is the, great pre j u-
againsbtbe institution of filayejry whieh
then existed in the South a prejudice
which? was aSliatural as 4tas just in
principlevithen seized upon ijy, political
demagogues, harped and playl upon
for a purpose, until they had educated
the public sentiment of the North and
South to a spirit of hatred toward each
pother. A remnant of that spirit still re-
mains, but it j fast passing f away, and
it is most devoutly to be hoped forever,
from every section and from all ; people
of this land.
The publication and circulation of
such facts and opinions as are condensed
in the statement -certified to by . the
names of so large number of gentle
men as composed the convention, can
not fail of good results; such testimony
is of weight and will go far towards,
not Only enlightening the minds of the
people in removing unfounded preju
dices, but it will create, foster and en
large friendship and fraternal feeling
between North and South, and; tend to
make us in truth one people as we are
one government.
The proposed conventions to he held,
the one in March in each State and the
morn cpnpral nnfi in Jul v. will undoubt
edly be of importance and largely at
tended by all who are interested in the
settlement . and development of the
Southern States. i
If I, a stranger, were auowecl a sug
- gestion, it jwould.be that one .or more
irentlemen from some of the Northern
States be invited to attend one or both
of the proposed conventions 5 (say irom
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvar
nia, Ohio and other States) with a view
of obtaining more practical ? and per
sonal knowledge; that they (may act
more effectually in the future for the ad
vancement of the , cause which the
conventions are intended to promote.
Co-operation with influential men in
the North, men who can speak from
personal xnowieuge, win uu uiucu ui

investments in 4vhe South. i

THE WORK OF THE GEXER L AsyEMELV
'We have received an interesting let
ter from Capt. W. E. Ardrey, one of the ,
members of the General Assembly
from Mecklenburg and a gentleman,
who, by the by, it gives us great pleits
ure' to learn, as we do from -various
sources, commands a marked influence
among his colleagues and h ever at
work in the interest of his constituents.
Capt. Ardrey, after writing of Gov. Ja r
vis' inauguration, the election of a
Lieutenant-Governor and' Gov. Vance's
lecture last Friday night, says:
The Legislature is making haste
slowly. A great many bills are intro
duced every day, but the committees
seem to have a passion for reporting un-
,my upon these-, -and that is the
last of them. If we complete the work
already marked out, I think it will lie a
great improvement. There is still a
strong determination to curtail expen
ses and reduce taxes. Some important
acts have been passed : One authorizing
the foremen of grand juries to adminis
ter oaths ; amending the charter of Da
vidson College, increasing the number
of trustees ; an act concerning the pro
bate of deeds allowing them to be pro
ven witnont tne seal ; an act allowing
(sheriffs to collect arrearages of taxes
from 1874 to 1878; ineorporative acts
for Davidson Co'lege and tlite Charlotte

SENATORIAL CATJCUSE-S.
The Republican members of the Senate
in caucus this morning adopted the re-,
port presented by the committee ap
pointed to arrange an order of business
for the remainder of the session'. It
was agreed that the postoffice appro-
priation bill shall be taken np as soon
as the pending measure in regard to
Chinese immigration is disposed of, and
that preference be given to the other,
regular appropriation bills, including
the river and harbor bill over all other
business. ... Thereafter the following
measures are to be given consideration,
not to interfere with the appropriation
bills, when ready, in the Ordef nanied:
The proposed constitutional amend
ment on the subject of war claims; the
bill for the further distribution of the
Geneva award; Mr Windom's proposi
tion authorizing enquiry and report to
be made on the advisability of extend
ing government aid for the coloniza
tion of the colored people, and the van-'
ous measures concerning the District
of Columbia, for which one day is to be
set apart.
It was also "agreed that from and after
next Monday the sessions of the Senate
shall begin at 11 a. m., and that a por
tion of each morning hour shall be de
voted to unobjected business on the
calendar under what is known as the
Anthony rule.
The Democratic benators also held a
caucus this morning.1 The subjects of
discussion were the same that occupied
the attention ot the joint caucus Mon
day night. Diametrically opposite views
were expressed as to the' advisabin
ty in a party point of view of.endeavor
ing to repeal the Federal election law,
kc, by means ot an amendment to an
appropriation bill, and thus probably.
torcing an extra session ot Congress.
After earnest discussion, in which Sen
ators ;Thurman and .Bayard, were the
principal speakers, on opposite jsides,
the caucus;adjoumed witliout action to
meet again to-morrow morning.
