The election to be held on Thursday; August 7th, 1873. v ' Vote for the Amendments and you vote for repudiation. The Constitution is good enough'as it is. What is the use of changing it ? Our correspondent to-day gives his views on the University question. Him self a graduate, he knows whereof he Kpeaks. We have had but little to say of the University or its management for several reasons. Principally, because we have never visited it, and are not familiar with its capacity or its needs. Wc know it is inoperative, partially through Democratic legislation. It is a pity that it should thus languish, and it seems to us that had the Board of Education been sustained by the Legis lature, the evils now complained of would not have existed. As the great head of a free school system, it might have been a pride and honor again to the State ; but with a terribly disjointed free school system, and no encourage ment teethe University, both are lan guishing. The school law is a humbug and of but little practical benefit, and the University is, if anything, worse. m , m : Remember that an enumeration is not a census, and that if we do not have an enumeration of the people in 1875 the present unjust Senatorial apportionment will continue until 1882. if not longer. 'm The system of rewards for treachery, instituted by the Treasury Department, offer such strong inducements to rascal ity that we arc not at all surprised to find another large importing firm in trouble. The Government has com menced suit for a large amount, out of which the informant gets his share of the spoils. It seems that while both members of the firm were absent, their business was in the hands of a confiden tial clerk, who defrauded the revenue, taking care that the firm books were correct, thus showing a discrepancy upon an examination by the Custom House authorities, He then makes his arrangements with some of the officials there, and on the return of the firm qui etly resigns. When everything is ripe, " a seizure is made by the Government, and this dishonest traitor is the witness against them ! Wc arc glad to see that this firm propose to fight it out, and not compromise as did Phelps, Dodge & Co. Let us have a complete unearthing of the whole system. m t m Each of the eight ballot'boxes will be labelled with the title of the pro posed amendment to the Constitution, and the tickets will read, "For Amend ment," and "Against Amendment." Judge Toursree. The correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer says Judge Tourgee is the best and ablest Judge in the State. That correspondent must have set his standard of excellence very low, or Heaven help the Judiciary of North Carolina. Does that correspondent re member that the people of this district know something about Judge Tourgee, and that they are quite as able to form a correct estimate of his value as is the correspondent? Don't let us hear that again. IRlhboro Recorder. The Enquirer correspondent had the authority of the lawyers of the Golds boro Bar and the Goldsboro Messenger, for what he wrote. A leading Democratic lawyer of this State, a prominent official of the Con federate States Government, a candi date for Judge on the Democratic ticket in 1867, and a Democrat now, ays Tourgee is the "best and ablest Judge" he ever practiced before. Era. m mi General Eaton, Commissioner of Ed ucation, will sail in the Calidonia next Saturday for Europe, to be absent two months. He goes under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, for the purpose of inspecting the different edu cational systems of Europefor the pur pose of aiding him in that capacity in fcis own country, . . : Referring to our constitutional; election the N. Y. Herald says : An election in North Carolina is to beheld on the 7th of next month, for the purpose of adopting or rejecting certain proposed constitutional amend ments. Among the number is one changing the time of the meeting of the Legislature from one to two years that is, that there shall be biennal in stead of annual sessions, and another (roposes to relieve the Legislature from evying a tax to pay interest on the State debt. The first may be all right and proper, the way things are going ih the "old Tar State," for we find it is also proposed to dispense with the ser vices of a Commissioner of Public Works, there being no public works in progress in the State; but the tax proposition smacks too much of repu diation to be hurriedly or carelessly passed upon. We hope the good people of North Carolina will not suf fer their financial reputation to be tar nished by winking or blinking at the repudiation of the State's indebtedness in any shape. As they vote on the 7th of August so will they be known to all the world. Commenting upon? the above, j the Raleigh Era makes the following sensi ble remarks : "The Era last winter endeavored to impress the Legislature with the evil effects, a ratification of the public debt amendment would produce at this time. This proposed amendment looks like repudiation. It is a step in that direc tion ; and a most unfortunate step for the people of North Carolina. No an ticipated good results from the adop tion of the amendments will begin to compensate for such a loss of reputa tion and public honor to the people and the State." EDITORIAL BUDGET. The syndicate have made their final settlement with the Treasury De parment for the fifty million five twenty bonds called on the 1st of March last. Another call of five twenty bonds will be made sometime during the month of August. A special from Washington says advices have been received there that ai dangerous operation is abou to be per formed upon Vice President Wilson and that if his strength falls under it his physicians think it doubtful if he will live until the opening of Congress. The Stockholders of ! the Old Dominion Steamship Company at a meeting to-day decided to increase the capital stock $200,000, the increase to be used in building two new ; steamers for the line. The contract has already been made for building one of the steamers. It is estimated that the damage done by the rain storm to Newark yesterday will amount to over $200,000. The basements in the city were flooded, and several buildings j set on fire by lightning. One house was blown down and demolished, and hundreds of poor people in the lower part of the city were driven out of their cellars, several having narrow escapes from drowning. The same storm did considerable dam age to houses and streets in the lower portion of Brooklyn. - Prof. Newcomb, of the National Observatory, leaves New York Saturday in the steamer for . Europe. He goes abroad to confer with the scientific in stitutions of Europe as to the prepara tions now being made to observe the transit of Venus, the objeel being to avail ourselves of any suggestions from the Other side, and, if it be found de sirable, to co-operate with the observa tion parties sent out under the auspices of the European governments. It is stated that the firms whose books have been seized by Detective Jayne and his men, of the custom house, charge that there is a corrupt collusion between the custom house officials and unscrupulous informers; the officials counting upon being able to effect a quiet settlement. The houses whose books have been seized by Jayne express a determination to contest to the bitter end this war of custom house officials against importers. Th0 private informer in one case cannot be found. Sensational stories are coming from New Orleans to the effect that all the iron-clads at the station there have been ordered to be made ready for sea, and that orders have been received for the immediate recruitment of one thousand seamen at, that port to man the iron-clads, and conjectures sare im mediately uttered that trouble is antici pated with other Powers. If tliere was imminent danger of difficulty or foreign complications it would not j do to de pend very much .on the iron-clads at New Orleans. They are eight in num ber, of small tonnage, and no j naval officers of experience' have ever imag ined that, they were good for much. In regard to the enlistment of men, it is stated at the Navy Department j that orders were sometimes sent to New Orleans for the recruitment of some three hundred sailors in the Gulf ports for the general service of the navy. As to the iron-clads, they are to be put in condition and sold. ; - STATE ITEMS. i i ! The Mountain Messenger (Jefferson, Ashe county) says that a good deal of sickness is in that section. The Raleigh Assays: Lawson,in his history of North Carolina, gives a list of the insects to be found in the State, and heads the same with the al ligator. The dwelling of Mr. Jos. G. W. Cobb, at Eyerettsville, 'Wayne . county, was destroyed by fire on Friday night last, together with furniture, &c. Loss about $4,000 to $5,000, on which there is an insurance of $3,000. In speaking of the tobacco crop, the Hillsboro Recorder says: From our own observation upon the crop of the best tobacco region of Orange, and from the information of farmers from all portions of Orange, Person and Caswell, we feel justified in saying that the condition of the crop in all these counties is unfavorable in the extreme. A bad stand in the first place was obtained. The young plants were met in the outset, by the cool unfavorable weather, and since the season has be come really hot, there has not been enough rain to ensure steady vigorous growth. The consequence is, most fields present the appearance of imper fect stands of badly grown plants, which even if they should be pushed forward by future favorable Aveather, will be late in maturing, and the product will consequently be inferior. Very little tobacco is ready for topping and as this operation the last of July or early in August is essential to the higher qualities, there can be little of this; kind made. The three counties named yield about one-fourth of the production of the whole State. From present indications it would not be safe to calculate on much more than half a crop. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
