"While the election of the
Conservative candidate to the
Constitutional Convention of
North Carolina, from Orange

of two or three in that body,
the -numbers are too nearly
equal for any extreme mea

considerable elemeut of the
Cor servative majority is dis

and under the leadership of
gray-bearded men of experi-
ence and knowledge irirmblic
affairs, they will not be likely
to make their work too sweep
ing A number of impor
tant, amendments to.the Con

ed and referred, but so far tlie
Convention appears to liave
discharged very little workf
real importance. We are sur
prised to see that one of the
foremost questions before the
Convention aud tho public
has reference to the pardon
of W. W. Holden the parr-,
ncr of Kirk in the Ku-klux

others in the Railroad raid on
theJTreasury. A good many
papers of such respectable

to citizenship and eligibility
