The election to be held on Thursday, August 7th, 1873. Vote for the Amendments and you vote for repudiation. The Constitution is good cnough'as i t is. What is the use of changing it ? Each of the eight ballot-boxes will be labelled with the title of the pro posed amendments to the Constitution, and the tickets will read, "For Ameiid mcnt," and "Against Amendment." m i m ' ltEMEMBfiit 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. Heavy Joke. Many of the democratic papers of the State arc quoting the New York Herald articles on caesarism," and preiacmg them with the statement that the Her- aid supported Grant with great earns estness for "his second term." As the Herald has claimed for several years to be strictly neutral, we can only consider thc above statement as a huge joke. And it's vcrv funnv. but it's a fabrica- i lion which won't stand the test any bet ter than other gauzy fabrics made out of whole cloth. Instructions; As the method of Voting on the Con stitutional Amendments is not thorough ly understood by the people, we publish the following, that there be no mis takes. There must be eight boxes at each voting place, beside those for town ship officers, on each of which must be labeled the amendment to be voted upon. In this county the labels will be printed in large, plain type, that there be no mistakes. The following is the form of each label: Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to the Public Debt. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to the office of Superintendent of Public Works. Amendment to the Constitution of N.orth Carolina in relation to the State Census. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to exemption from taxation. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to the Uni versity. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to the ses sions of the General Assembly. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to the Code Commissioners. Amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina in relation to Federal and other officers holding office. The ballots may be written or print ed, and need contain but the words " For Amendment," or " Against Amendment." In this county the tick ets against the amendments are printed in slips of eight, so that each voter can tear them apart for each box as he votes, All persons opposed to the amendments , , i . ,, should vote " Against Amendments." The polls must be kept open from 8 A. M. to 7 P. M., and all qualified voters are entitled to vote, provided they arc regularly registered. No one can regis ter on the day of election, unless he ar rives at the age of 21 on that day, and all voters should sec that their names are on the registration books. The old story of the nativesof India voluntarily throwing themselves be neath the wheels of the car of Jugger naut is shown to be purely fictional by modern investigators. Deaths have oc curred, but it is proved that they were always accidental, so far as the victims were concerned. Children scramble among the break ers in perfect safety at Narrasransett. The beach is so fine, ; sandy, and gently ever thought of. vn-A" vuair iiki t uijg wt ic uuui is '" r Oarself. Our readers have no doubt observed the. changes lately made in the appear-1 ance of the Post. It has been furnished4 with a new dress, and many changes I have been made in the arrangement of its news, which we believe to be im- provements. The Commercial depart- ment will hereafter be a feature in the Post, which we hope will be approved and appreciated. We intend these reports to be as full as our space will admit, and perfectly reliable. Other important changes will be made as soon as the material can be obtained to pre pare them. A misunderstanding of our order at the type foundry has interfered considerably with our plans, but in a ; iew aays we win De in proper miu. We hope to make the Post a necessi ty to our friends, and that its daily visits will alwavs be welcome. On their nrt. wa hnrp. tViPV will rivft ua all the help and encouragement the importance of the enterprise, demands. The Post I asks patronage, believing that it 'gives value received for its services, land no energetic business man who desires to secure his full share of trade can afford to do without it. In this connection it may be proper I to state again, what we have already I said several times, that The Post is j pecuniarily and editorially under the I control of the editor whose nameppears I on the paper. That he is under no I pledge to any man living, or any set of I men, and that it is his desire andmten- I tion to publish a square, broad guage I Republican newspaper, the organ of the I party, and of no clique, whether Northern.- Southern, or colored. The Post will labor to harmonize difficulties, and keep the .party firmly united, but its editor does not propose to be dictated to by any set of men, either by cajolery or threats. This is our platform, and these are our aims. We shall strive night and day for success, and expect to gain it. The Surry Visitor comes tons this week dressed in mourfing for the death ot its editor, Uol. teamuel lorsner, a notice of whose death was published in the Post a few days ago. Granite Lodge No. 322 A. F. and A. M. passed the customary resolutions as-a tribute of respect. The following is the obitu- ary notice in the Visitor : 1 "Another Good Citizen Gone As a tribute of respect snd unfeigned 1 sorrow and grief over the death of I Samuel Forkncr, editor pf this paper, we place this issue of the Visitor in mourning. "By the death of Mr. Forkner we have 1 lost one of our best citizens ; one who I will De sorely missed oy an classes ; one i who will long be remembered as a gen-1 erous, kind and upright man, loved and respected by all who knew him. "Col. Forkner represented this coun ty in the Constitutional Convention in 1865: was a member of the House of Representatives in 186iE 67, and of the Senate in 1868-'69, and has been a prominent man in the Republican par ty since the war. "Also, he was the founder of the Surry Visitor, (the successor of the News,) which he has edited with in creased success since its foundation, May 23rd, 1872, with much credit to himself and this section. "His death has caused a shadow overspread this community which will take time to dispell." to it WAIFS. The best iron tonic for fashionable ladies the flat-iron. .

A great earthquake was felt at Val paraiso, at 2:22 a. m. Julv 8. The shocks were worse than those of 1837. A great deal of damage was done to many nouses and criurcnes, tnougn nothing to compare with the last earth- quake of San Salvador. Some few lives were lost by falling walls, and one lady died from fear. Prisoners tried to break out of jail, but did not manage it, and fire broke out in the warehouse of Craig & Co., but was soon extinguished. At lanoago shocks were also leit, but no great damage was done beyond the I breaking of mirrors and the rending of some walls. Bells tolled of their own accord, and a train was stopped by large rocks thrown down on the track.
