THE GLEANER. GRAHAM, X. C., NOV 2, 187.}. 15, ». IMRWeH, J.dllor VIIA T WE IIAVH AXIS WHAT WE Nf I I>. Blessed by nature as we arc. we cer lainly have not. us a Stale, lived up to our opportunities, ami availed ourselves witli pr >per industry, of tlie ad vantages bv which we are' surrounded. Other Stales have taken (lie pains and expense of inviting immigration, and ot inj rm injr immigrants. and t lie public of the indurcmeiits'thoy could oiler those who lniirht be disposed to settle within their borders. Our old State, with perhaps a siiperab rdancc of modesty, and but a slusrgish enterprise, has been content to let the world learn of her resources, of her climate, find of nil pertaining to licr as best it could. The result of this policy is that the people of our sister States not to mention those ofother coun tries know about as much of the real ad vantages that those inclined to' settle among us may expect to find, as if our tcrtorv lay about the source of the Nile. That iminigiation has largely contribu ted to the building up of other States, is evident, and that this immigration was sought by those iS'tates, and ob tained by their own effort,s is equally true. Tint North Carolina has made no effort in this direction, and has had no immigration is also equally true. That the institution of negro slavery, in this and other Southern States before (lie war, to a great extent prevented immigration into our holders i- perhaps bevonn question, That litis pecuhur ui stitution of the South enabled t lie West and Northwest, nl! tlie nnre easily, to diiect the tide of immigration to them selves, cannot be doubted. That cause was removed to be followed by another) probably equally damaging. There were disturbances tor some years after the war in portions of this State, and these were, for partizan political purposes, magnified and cxagerated. and outrages, anil cruelties, and lawless and savage acts and scenes were maim-1 factured end published by the press ol i he party whose interest was to be sen - cd thereby, and proclaimed by its speakers, and retailed by its adherents, until many who otherwise might have settled among us, were deterred trom so doing, by ill founded apprehensions excited by these groundless, and gross ly cxagerated partizan representations. Happily that obstacle standing in the ; way of those who migl/t make their homes with us, has b en removed, just as truth triumphed over falsehood, un til there is not now a vestige of it left. _Yow here is a greitt source of wealth | pouriirg into this country, and pouring : from the less favored and mora densely I j)opulated States 01 the country, into! other States. Our State can enter the field for its portion of this great wealth upon equal tirms with any other, and with advantages which cannot tail to recommend themselves to all whose at- I tentionsare directed »o them. We must | do this; or we mutt stand idly by and ; amuse ourselves with , atching the lap id growth, an J development, and grow ing prosperity of our sister States. We no'ice trom a report of the Bureau of! Immigration for the S'ate of Texas for | the fiscal year of that State just ended that she had three hundred thousand j immigrants during the past year, and I that they brought into the State four | millions of property,—that is money. The real vah|6 ot these accessions to ; population c#n scarcely be estimated- This t6o was the result of effort. We j have made none. Wo have an abund- j ance of lands for sale, and at prices | as low as could really be desired. We j want population to occupy them and to i cultivate tlu'tn, and to render them pro- ' dtic'ivo and profitable to the state and j to individuals, instead of their lying, as j they do to a great extent now, answer-! iny no better purpose than to hold the | world together. Our water powers too | arc for the most part naming idly on to the ocean without turning a wlieelor earning a penny during the whole ot their indolent course. Our minerals 1 lie imbeded in the earth, nxtil it would soein they arc never to, serve the pur poses for which theVfound a place iu creation, and be useful to man. Our quarries of excellent building stom/have been very seldom disturbed. Our lor ests present inexaustible supplies of timber of the most useful varieties, that have scarcely ever rung with ftio sound of an axe. "We have room tor five times our pop- j ulation, yes, ten times ami profitable ; work for ail. We want the farmer, the j mechanic, the manufacturer, the labor- ' cr; we want those of every department of industry, anil within our State wo can ofler inviting homes for all, and localities suited for all, whatever may bo the industrial pursuit they may elect, or are trained to follow. Wo want to sell our laads in part to enable us to properly cultivate the balance. We are pjoi*. We havn't the means necessa ry to indulge our better judgement, or m.jro euterprisiug disposition. We jiiust, almast of necessity, for soinc years to come be cramped, depressed in j all our energies and prospects unless our j surplus lands can to some extent be j turned into money. .To enable us to do j this we must have buyers, and to have | buyers we must have people to come among us, and to have them come j among us. all that is necessary is to sho .v tliern that it will be to their in terest to do so. In our next we shall speak oftfu; particular portion of the slate, and its advantages. THAT OHIO EI-KlTIOl*. The papers continue to discuss this election, and its result, and its indica tions, and influences, as to and upon other elections in other States, and cs peciallv Pennsylvania. When both par ties claimed, and confidently expected the victory, it is but nat iral that the one defeated should rise to many ex planations,and in variousaud numerous wavs acount for its defeat and the it correctness of its confidently made pre dictions. It is rarel/the ( case, howev er, that the successful party, in the ex eicisc ol unusual candor, admits that its success was gained bv the influences of other than the real issues of tne cam paign. The leadingrepublican paper of Ohio, the Cincin.iti Times furnishes an instance of this rare occurrence. It feels profoundly thankful, that its party lisal "another iced to lean upon." It is by no means confident upon the financial issue. We give tlie following extract from it as a sample ot the rejoicing in dulged in, by the more candid and thoughtful republicans, of Ohio over their yroai victory. "If the concurrent testimony of all who saw the Western Reserve is of value, the Catholic issue was of greater influence in the Nothern part of the State than it was even here. Judge Taft knows this. Hayes knows it. To attri bute the victory to the financial issue is simply to delude one's self. Let this matter be looked fairly in the face. It docs no good to close the eyes to palpa ble tacts. It is very doubtful if the Re publicans would have carried the State had it not been for the Catholic issue. We think the .Republicans were gaining ground on the currency question all the time. The last three weeks ot the can vass were of-great and decisive impor tance. Schnrz's speeches and Woodford's debate were of great value to us. Had the discission been prolong ed for two months we think the Repub. licaus could have carried the State on the financial issue alone. But as things were on the day of election—»\vell we are profoundly thankful that an other reed to lean on".— Cihcinati Times, October the lGthe, (Republican. And from one of the leading demo cratic papers, the Cincinati Enquirer, we take the following extract as an evi dence of the estimate placed upon the result of the recent election, by Demo crats. "Jt they suppose that the meaning of I the election last Tuesday is that the Ohio Democratic plat form coul'd not and cannot, standing as the sole issue, command a majority,and a large major!- j ty, of the votes of Ohio, they are linking their logic together with ropes of sand. We defied the Itopublicatis to permit the voters of the State to go to the polls 011 this issue alone. They dared not. They were frightened, weeks ago, into dragging a lie into the canvass. 7'hey profaned the name of religion by lug ging religious passions into the contest) without reason or decent excuse. They inflamed the sacred convictions of uni formed men. They appealed to a pre judice which is always aiftong thousands of men master ot a political belief, and with devilish skill thov plied their arts. Had it not been-for the popularity of! our platform among the masses, fighting j as wo did, against press, money, bunks, j frauds, religions prejudice, Adminislra- j tion organization we should have been j beaten thirty thousand votes. It was j the financial issue that saved the deinoc* I rasv from overwhelming defeat in this i Republican stiUv.-Cincinnati E dquircr j (Democrat.) JS'O it ap(>ears. that so far as the finan- | I cial issue is concerned, it is hardlv | I claimed by the republicans, and certain ly not admitted by Hie democrats that! tiio Ohio election decided anything. Theso extracts are from 'two paper*, the one a leading paper of the ltepsbli* ! can part y, ttie other of the Democratic I party. They are published iu the State j where the contest was. They are [doubtless well informed, as to every particular of the campaign, and after making due allowance, for partiz&n feel ing that may Isway the judgement of either, we conclude that whatever Re publicans may say tliey do not fcel that they really achieved a victory in Ohio, and that the democrats there do not feel j that they have really sustained a defeat, but on the contrary they arc as fully confident ot the strength of the financial plank in their plarform as they were when it was adopted. This being so will the Democracy of the Northwest abandon it? Wo think It doubtfnl ' They certainly do not appear to be whipped into silence upon the issue ' which tliex voluntarily tendered, and i w Siich their opponents feared to --accept i and meet squarly. I OIIOINA.MCUH. f PnMrd lijr (lie N. C. CoaMitutioiaal (on trillion of 1873. ' AN* ORDINANCE TO AM K.N I) ARTICLE THREE SECTION TEN OF THE CONSTITUTION. The people of North Carolina in Convention assembled do-ordain. That article three, section ten of the Constitu tion be amended so as to read as fol lows: "The Governor shall nominate, and by and with the advice and con sent of a majority of the Senators elect, appoint all officers, whose offices arc established by this Constitution and whose appointments are not other wise provided for." The article for which the above is proposed as a substilute reads as fol lows: "The Gfvernor shall nominate, and by and with the advice and con sent of a majority of the Senators elect, appoint all officers, whose offices are established by this Constitution or which shall be created by late, and whose appointments are not otheWise provid ed for, and t.o .such officer shaU be ap pointed or elected by the Genera > "Assembly.™ : ' j As will be seen, this amendment will confine the Governor's' appointments to unexpired terms only, and thus it curtails one man power, and the j present unusually extended patronage of the Governer. AN ORDINANCE TO ABROGATE AND ANNUL SECTIONS FIFTEEN,SIXTEEN AND SEVEN TEEN, OF ARTICLE FOUR OF THE CONSTI TUTION. The people of North Carolina in Con* vent ion assembled do ordain, That sec tions fifteen, sixteen and seventeen of article four ot the Constitution, be ab rogated and annulled, and the following substituted therefor. Sec —. Tne General Assembly shall have no power to deprive the Judicial Department ot any power or juris. tic. lion which rightfully pertains to it, as a co-ordinate department of the govern ment; but the General Assembly shall allot and distribute that portion of this power and jurisdiction, which does not pertain to the Supreme Court, among the other courts prescribed in this Con stitution, or which may be established by law, in such manner as it may d«em best; provide also a proper system of appeals, and regulate by law, when necessary, the methods of proceeding in the exercise of their powers, of all the Courts below the Supreme Court so far as the same may be dc lie without conflict with other provisions of this constitu tion. Hie sections this ordinance proposes to strike out read as follows; Sec. l. r >. The Superior Courts shall have exclusive original jurisdiction ofalj civil actions, when ot excl usivc original jurisdiction is not given to some other Courts; and of ail criminal actions in which the punishment may exceed u fine of fitly dollars or imprisonment for one month. Sec. IG. The Superior Courts shall have appellate jurisdiction of all issue# of law or fact, determined by a Probate Judge 01 a Justice of the Peace, where the matter in coiitiovowy exceeds twenty-five dollars, and of mattersol law in all cases. Sec. 17. The Clerks of the Superior Court? shall have jurisdiction of the probate of deeds, the granting of letters testament try and of administration, the appointment of guardians, the ap prenticing of orphans, to audit the accounts of executors, administrators an J guardians, and ot such other mat ters as shall be prescribed by law. All ssues of la-t joined before them shall 1 e iransf rred to the Superior Co r s for trial and appeals shall be to the Su perior Courts from their judgments in all matters of law. If this amendment is adopted the leg islaiitrc will have the control of the ju risdiction of all the courts ot the State, save the Supreme Couvt. This question of jurisdiction, under our preseut Con stitution, has been a much vexed one, the uncertainties ofwhich the legislature was powerless to remedy; and this-un certainty lias been the fruitful source of a vast deal of delay and expense in th« administration of justice. As w ill also be seen this amendment gives the tight of appeal, in all cases without regard to the amount. AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ARTICLE THIR TEEN OK THE CON3EITLTION. ' •»» Be it ordained by the people of North Carolina iu Contention assent, bled, That sections one and two, ol article thirteen, be stricken from the Constitution, and the following sub stituted therefore: Sec. 1. No Convention'ot tho people of this State sh ill ever be called by the General Assambly, unless by the con* cnrrence of two-thirds of all the mem bers of each llouse of the Guueral Assembly, tho proposition, On v.'nt ion or No Convention, be fir.-t submitted to the qualified voters ot the whole State, at the uoxt general election iu a manner to be "prescribed by I4w. And should a majority of the votes cast be in favor of said Conventiou, it shall assemble on such day aa may be pro scribed by the General Assembly. Sec. 2. No part of the Constitution of this State shall be altered unless a bi.l to alter the same Bhall have been agreed to by three-iitths of each House of the General Assembly. And Iho amend ment or amendments so asrrecd to shall | be submitted at the next genera 1 election to the qualified voters of' the whole Slate, in such manner as may be prescribed by law. And in the event of there adoption by a majority of (lie votes cast, such amendment or amendments shall become a part of the Constitution of this State. Sections one and two of article thir teen. which the ordinances proposes to strike out, are in these words: Sec 1. No convention of the people shall be called by the General Assemble unless by tlie concurrence of two thirds of all the members of each House of the General Assembly. Sec. 2. No part of the Constitution of this State slialTbe nllererd, unless a bi'j to alter the same, shall have been read three times, in each House of the Geir eral Assembly and agreed to by three fifths of ilio whole number of members ot each House' respectively, nor slialj any alteration take place until the bill, so agreed to, shall have been published six months previous to a new election of members o the General Assen.bly. If, after sucn publication", the alteration proposed oy the preceding General As sembly shall be agreed to, in the first session thereafter, by two thirds of the whole representation in each House of the General Assembly, after the same shall have been read three times, on thiee several davsin each House. Then the said General Assembly shall prescribe a mode by which the amend ment or amendments miy be sulunited to the qualified voters of the House of Representatives throughout the State; and if. upon comparing tie votes given in (he whole State, It shall appe&r that a majority ot the voters voting there Tin have approved thereof, then, and not otherwise, the same shall become a part of the Constitution." As will readily be perceived upon reading the foregoing ordinance and the sections it proposes to strike out, if the ordinance be ratified it wiil greatly fa cilitate and simplifiy the amending of the constitution by legislative enact ment, thus rendering the cad of a con vention much less frequently necessary, and only to be resorted to under pecu liar circumstances; and not then unless tbjfpcoplci by their votes shall sanction thecall. To this amendment we should suppose no objection, eveu pretended, can be found. DaiUj Sentinel: —Judge Story said rears ago, "if ever the day arrived when the best lalent and best virtues wei'c driven from ofiiice by intrigue or corruption, or the more unrelenting per secution of party, the government wil' be wise by accident and bad by system." We have witnessed the arrival ol that day in both State and federal govern ment,we hat e seen Graham and Sharkey Excluded from seals in ihe senate of the United-States, when base, bribed men were admitted to their seats. We ha\e seen Graham, Worth and Biaggexclu ded from participation in our Stale gov ernment by such men as Holden, Cuffy Mayo, Byron Latlin *aud John T. De weese. It was no wonder the people mourned while such rogues ruled. In turn thev are now excluded by force of public sentiment, and it is lo be hoped their exclusion will be perpetual. In the dying expression of Father Paul, es to perpeiuci. P. AW Perry, who was lor a long time Supervisor ot this Internal Ilevt nue District, but was some time ago transferred to a District " up North," has resigned clean and clear. He was commonly known in this State as long Perry, whicn those who have seen him will admit was not altogether on inappro priate nick-name. The cause of his withdrawing his services entirely from the government is said to be t'»at a\ long as he is himselt ho will not consent to go for Grant longer. Not being for Grant for a third term, he became satisfied doubtless, that his resignation would be accepted. The test' for repub lican officials wTU soflfcbe thQi opinions on the third term. Against 110 office, — for go ahead. A Waahi ujrton correspondent of a congerra tive and -are 11 informed journal says that the currency and the national banks will fignte largely in the debates, but that it is not probable that any financial legislation of importance will be seriously attempted. It is to be expected that some modifications of the tariff may be proposed. Investigation will be the order of the day; and everything and every •> body that has excited suspicion may look on for an overhauling. Such of the Democratic members as have been io Waehiugtou in speak, ing on this subject say there will be no secret investigations but that the examinations shall be conducted with open doors. One uf the beneficent results of electing a Democratic Congress will be the thorough overhauling which ail departments of the gov ernment will receive. It will take a long while even to clean off the worst of the ordure from the Augean stables of the Republican party. But we are satisfied the new Congress will bo equal to tho task. —Wiim»njton Slar.
