Elections eo far in Franco arc 'favorable to peace. A kind of temporary republican gov ernment is organized there and its as sembly of delegates meet at once.

There is at ouco a serious-difficulty in tho way of the Convention author ized by the Legislature. Gov.

There is a talk of procccitmgs of the Legislature arc ted ious and unimportant. Harnett Comity. We relnrncd yesterday from a trip to Harnett Superior Court. Tho wcath . cr was bad and the attendanco of peo ple not large. There wero 70 cases on tho State docket. 57 on Civil Trial docket and 11 on Summons docket. It was thought nearly all the business rcauy ior acnon woniu bo msposea of this week. Tho people iffllarnctt are divided in opinion as to tho propriety of calling a Stato Convention at once, but most of the Conservative part' , will finally sustain the movement and se- curo harmony m the party. Tho pub lic roads in Harnett are inferior. - Many citizens on cast side of the Cape Pear were prevented from attending court by the freshet in tho river, - and the great difficulty in crossing. A bridge should bo built across tho Cape Pear opposite Lillington, theCourt House, which is a mile or so from the river. The river divides the county 'centrally from side to side, and thero is not a bridge on it. , The ferries havo steep MWWlJ. 10 ""Jyj tied and has fertile land only on the streams. , W ater power is abundant and excellent.

Through all this sparsely settled re gion in both Carolinas are a hundred or more mulatto families related by blood or friendship to these outlaws. A parade of soldiers or open hasty hunt by a sheriff and his posse, under excitement and coufusion. as we have often said, are only so many ridiculous and fruitless attempts at capture, and are calculated to acsravato the villians to furthcrcrimo. j AVe suggest 'iai-cniedy- that if faith fully applied roust be effective..

The police should not take quarters at houses in the vic inity or bo much seen in the neighbor hood of the robbers. "Wo feel certain that one month's work of such an or ganization, perhaps one week's, would result in tho capture of the ring leaders and the arrest of. many others who are Legislature would certainly refund to the county all tho appropriation for expenses; terror would strike tho com bined iiost 01 rooDers; ana crime else where in the State would fear the same rebuke. Those detectives and policemen most successful in this expedition would become moro of experts and would hereafter get lucrative employ ment in 6imiliar . enterprises.

' :er- Legislative Address on the Convcn lion. fib the people 0 North Carolina: An act nas been passed at tlie pros ent session of the General Assembly, submitting 'to 'the voters of the State the question of calling a' Convention to revise and amend, under certain specified restrictions, the existing con stitution of North Carolina; and an election is ordered to be neidf on the second Thui-sday of April, 187L, to ascertain the sense of the, pooplofdn this important subject. "Yc. the undersigned members! of the General Assembly, wish to set forth briefly some of the reasons which havo induced the Legislature to pass said act. j j The warmest advocates of tho pres ent Constitution1 havo always conce ded that it is marred by ; many great errors and imperfections. It was only rauned Decanse our peopio wore in an embarrassing position, and vjerb promised that it should soon be amon dod. Tho; great confusion which it has wrought, and the heavy burdens it has imposed, havo proved it toj bo utterly nnsuitod to our condition and circumstances, and repugnant to Our tastes and usages as a people. jWo cannot now undortako to point oat all its evils, and will notioo only a low moro prominent. ! j I This Constitution has ovortnrnod.our ancient iud icial systom, once tho priqo of our stato, and has in trod uced iu its stead a novel ouo 60 full of. deformities Imt it has become a byword j of reproach and contempt. The old method j of practice and proceeding in the coprts has been aponsnea-. rr "of procedure subsUlulvd,! so ill-diifcy-ted. crndc and - con tradibtory in itrt ymxuTi, vunb tnir nTgTTt-rfutinHTS confess themsolves unablci fully to tin derstand y it or to admiuiHt or i t, except by judicial legislation.- The .enforce ment of rights " and the rcdroa of wrongs have to be sought by suchjtOr tous aud ovpennive channels that it is often cheaper to submit to injusjtico than sock a remedy through - If he courts. The code of Procedure Can not be repealed or essentially chair by the Legislature; for eifhor thitl or something like it, is prescribed bv! tho Constitution, j A Convention alb no can rid us of this incubus aiid nuisance. The number of judicial districts is too great, entailing much useless expense Many other features of the i presen t system are inconsistent wrh purity efficiency and cheapness in the admin istration of justice, which is one of the prime objects ot all good government The people have, by experience, been made so sensible of tho evils of this longer upon ino sunjeot. ;a rexorm is absolutely necessary to provont pur judiciary from falling into general con tempt. 1 j. he present county and township governmuiiis are lntoioraDie ovils. Their cunbrances and efficiency, their expensive and tho numerous avenues to peculation and extortion which they, open up, are grievances which have brought complaints and rembn rtrancos from all sections cf tho Stato. We boleive there is an almost univer sal desire for the restoration of the old County Courts, as the simplest, cheapest, and most honest system! of county government ever devised, and for the abolishment of tho existlner system, with its wheels, within wheels crushing thepeople with burdens. The transaction of the usinoea pertaining j to the Probata Court is ' also much f more troublesome and costly than Un der tho old plan. A Convention is neoded to effect the' reforms which are imperatively demanded in all tho foregoing particulars.! ' . 5 I Tbore.are amultitudo of useless offi ces, established by this Constitution, which ought to be abolished. 1 The holding of more than one office by tho, same individual, is a sorioos evil not j now prohibited. Tho cost of carrying j on the government upon the present j pian, irom tno cniox aopartmeuis upwn i 2 i.i iii ti'A- eLu I to the court clerks unrl instiona of the I w t . ------ . peace, is vastly greater than it ought I to be.

It is in these word', , '?T.ho General Assembly shall, by appropriate leis ; lation, and by adoqnatejtaxatiorii pro vide for the prompt anl regular pay ment of the interest on the , puVHc debt." If this be' conmed as apply-' ing to the old debt oily, it requires the levy of twelve -Hundred thotimn. I. dollars of tax to pay iiterest. Add to this the tax; necossarji to carry on tho State Government, anjl it will be per ceived that the lowestjtnx which this legislature can lovy if they carry out their obligations undsr " this constita1 tion, is largely over dmiUion and a half of dollars, or five timis the tax of tho past year. The Govlrnor says inr hi message, tioo millond and a half, or eight times the tax oi tho past year. We know very wU that any such tax would crush tho iebple , into ; the dust Yot we have taken an, oath which cannot bo fulfil 3d unless we do make such a levy; ai I as honorable mon, wo see no way f cscapo, unless the people will call a Convention and rcliove us from the di )mma by chang- I ing the Oonstitution it this partiuular. 1 0 VttiliiVw Uvity (TO UtQUUv Milt i'vUu"! pooplo of North Carolna expt M. to violate our oaths to them to come to tur rescue, and their own!

We bej,tho earnest itkontion of the people to the foregoing uonyidorations. Tho General Asscmb y have not pre sumed to call a Convonion themselves Wo. bad no official expression of the wishes of the people, ( t) justify us in doing that. Wo simply submit the question to the people.1 Tbey bear tho burdens; they suner the evils; and thoy also are the sovereigns. "Article 1, Section 3, of our present Constitu tion declares : "The'- peopio of this Stato have the inherent, sole, and ex clusive right f . of altering and abolishing their Constitution and form of government f ' : but every such "right should be exorcised in pursuance of law, ad consistently with the Constitution .of the United Statos." Our Act only provides a method by which tho people may ex ercise this inherent rights in a regular and orderly manner, "in pursuance of law." i Nor have the General Assembly assnraed to thfeniselves any right or pqiver on their own mere motion, to impose restrictions upon tho Convention whon assemble. Bnt being well assnred, by extensive acqiinintance vith the wishes of our constituents, that the people de sire to preserve unchanged .some features. of onr exiatinj? Constitution, we have so framed our act that the people themselves may, by approving it, impose suet restrictions as will nol wdfo?

And to make assurance doubly sure, an , oath is embodied in the act binding the delegates to observe its restrictions ; and the. people will certainly not; choose delegates who would cither neglect or violate that obligation. -l'h nmnnooil HalnollMa arill limit nr4 simplify the work of the OonvenUotL shorten its session and reduce its cost.
