The members of the Democratic Ex ecutire Committee for the 6th Judicial District, are requested to meet in Ral eigh, oo Tuesday the 2nd day of J one, m4. ", .' ... , . ' r . r.C M. Cooke, Chairman. -.: A convention of the Democratic par ty of the county of Franklin will be held in Louiaburg on Saturday the 9th day of Slay 1874, for the purpose of appoint ing' delegates to the Senatorial, Con jpwisional and Judicial nominating con Tentiona, for a general interchange of opinions, and for other purposes. A large turn out is greatly desired. .7.t.iW..H. Yarborough,- ... ; f . Chairman. Iuilntloii. Gon. Grant has vetoed the bill au thorising an additional issue of currency of 146,000,000. This measure was carried through Congress by the votes mainly of the Southern and Western Senators and Representatives.' The Northern and Middle States being ar rayed almost solidly against it. Senator Mcrrimon of this State was one of the principal advocates of the measure, and took a' very; prominent part in its discussion. So the financial doctors in Congress are about as much at sea now as they were when that body convened last December. The diacaso seems to be a very violent one, and no doctor has yet, or seems likely turn up soon, whose prescription will relicve-the patient, and extirpate the malady i Oonolllutlou. Tberslockholdert of the North Caro lina Railroad in , their meeting at 8 ali bury some days since, accepted the amendments to their Charter authortaiogtbat Rjad to mortgage it elf to raise money to buy the Western North -tarolina 'Railroad. We have been so much disappointed io all the Railroad schema that have been' set n foot since the war,1 that e are not much inclined to the opinion that any thing good will come of this. Ve would be tejoiced to" see a Railroad built to AshvUle- and on to the Ten ' nesce and ' Georgia lines to' connect with the great lines of ' this State. But when, men of such doubtful charac ter at Smith have the manipulation and control of the funds, we can but fear that what has .been" done tay be done agiln, and that the conduct of Iittlefiald and Swepaoa may- be re peated! la better to atari with honest men. . . Tlio 'f XUrtoiflrla tassel Soa boarxl Inilroal. The turvcy of this Road from its Eastern terminus . has been made through to Raleigh. It will com mence at Williamston Martin County, and end at Raleigh. It is thought that thi Road will be speedily built. If Louiaburg should offer suGcjenf in ducementa, could not the authorities be prevailed upon to run tbe Uoad by our town? Wonld it not be well to call a meeting of cor citizens anj take steps looking to such an end. A Rail road it srhst we need above all other thbg just now. Yith thi our other great advanUges could not fail to oomaiebd: themselves to atrangera. Now is tlo tiai. Let action be taken before tho opportunity shall slip - Heuutet Tbe electio i of a mere mediocrity to succeed Charles Sumner causes one to look At the Senate salt no w is, and compare it with what it was twenty and thirty years ago, and to seriously inquire whether this important branch of the national Government is not rapidly deteriorating. In instituting this comparison we shall set up no fanciful ' standard of judgment, but state sch facts only as all persons familiar with the recent pJl;tical his tory of the country must admit to be beyond dispute- : "- - s- We will first turn to New England. Of the eleven Senators now lepresent log that section will anybody give us the name of one man of eminence ? Descending to lower plane we might recognize Edmunds, of Vermont , Mor rill and Hamlin, -of Maine; and Boat well, of Massachusetts, as politicians of" experience ana moderate talents. We would have to go a good ; deal lower to describe the other seven. At long intervals syme of them read an cssy ia me oeuaie; duc, as in ine caae of many other members of each House it is not known what newspaper re porter wrote the "production. " - Twenty and tbirtv years ago tfew England was ' accustomed to keep in the Senate such statesmen lawyer, debatet s, and rators as Webster and ! WoodVary; George Evans and Rufus Choate. These were dou oil ess above the average ; but a fair comparison of the present with the past requires that we place them side by side with the four above named. :;i : i- - Take1 the five Middle States thi side of Ohio. The only Senators of prominence, are C6nklfng,Frelinghuy seB, CameVon,1 and Bayard. It would be 1 the baldest complfment 14' name any one"of the remainingsix. ' ' ' " . We will select for comparison with these gentlemen1 four names from a pretty long list of conspicuous Senators who represented thoe State during the period to which n we have referred. They are ' Sil ai ' Wright; Samuel L. Southard, J anied Buchan n , and John M. Clayton. These names are his- torical, and we are notlikely to be de ceived in regard to the abilities theV displayed and the sway they bore in the national councils thirty years since. We thiuk it would rather startle the Senate chamber if the Middle States were to send there now four such men as these were a third of a century ago. Let us cast our eye beyond the mountains. Doubtless a large propor tion of the ability of the Senate comes from that quarter. Here are five names, mor or less distinguished, two of wh'ch would have ranked hiirh at . o any period in the historylof the Senate. We refer to Thurman ahd Schurz,Twh6 stand in the" 'ftrembsf 'ranaW Morton,' Sherman7, ?and CarpenU'"it vwuiu w iuiij w wu to me use ine Logans, the Chandlers,' or" anybodf else from the Western States. , But while contemplating the snperi or abilities of the five t men we have namedj we cannot forget thit it is riot many years sineethese Weiterni Stiles' for a 0 kepi inHhe Senite Uay Bentoh,' Crittenden, Cassfand5 Corwin?.n Besides 1 thclefive" leaden it ts' easy to point to five other Senators from -thesaTStatea yduriflg ihr era to which we refer who were at least the peers of the five first mentioned. The presentfcMrahin!tfHiie Senate from the former secession States is nothing but a .dreary waste from the Potomac deaf down to the Gulf. There is not a man of the slightest con sideration among then whole twenty ww wuia uiaves seuu up to Washington. The, honest persons among them since we must hope there are suchmight, uiake l respect able members of a State Legislature nothing more. It is in that part" of ihe country that the great falling away in the ability of tLe Senate takes place, Ire have named thirteen members of the present Senate ; who - are men of considerable mark. Going back twen ty and thirty yean, it is easy to pick out an equal uumber of Senators fr;om the South alone who would at leasti rank a high in point of abilitvAsTthoso tuirteeu. In the earrierjortion of the period there was CalhuirlJives, Ber rien, PreatojHMangum, McDuffie, Grundyand WiUiairi iCKjng. A little nearer our own time finr) Sonle, Daves, HunUr,? 1 oombs, and iiason. i These familiar facts are full of warn ing. : Not only has the Senate deterior ated within the last third of a century; i it has scnoimy declined since the se- I cession of the Southern States while it now begins to look as if it was prepar ing to descend into the lower deep. Caniot the old, Commonwealth of Massachusetts '' make one effort t break its fail? tf. Y.Sun For the Courier Raleigh NC. April Slat 1874. EDrreR Fraxxlik Courier : The queation who-shall be our candidate and standard bearer in the approach ing campaign for Congress, from this district is being much discussed and agitated among the people of our city. It is with much pleasure I hear the name of your worthy townsman, Capt. J. J. Davis, so often and so favorably spoken of as the 44 con. i ign.aV With out disparaging ' the claims of many other distinguished: gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned In the public prints of the day, as suitable candidates for Congress. The nomi nating Convention could do itself and the people whom they, represent, no greater good or honor than to 'select Capt. Davis than whom there is no one possessed in a greater degree with the essentials, (so rare in' this day) in tegnty, fidelity and 1 honest -such a man in Congress, can not fail to com mand an influence which will redouud to the welfare and good of our people what the people want and the country needs,is a man above reproach, who knowing the right will not fear to do it the cry should be away with hungry aspirants for office, whose only desire is to feather their own filthy nest and select our' best, tried and true men. Our people are much pleased at the r prospect of a Railroad to the coast of our State. I allude to the Seaboard and Raleigh Hail road from J ncic w nriiiiAuisbuuuraiucsviiie. xno xivilj Engineer wholaa llnisheds work, says it will be completed withiu 8 months, it will open up and develop a new and desirable trade with our city success to it. The Temperance meu of our City have succeeded in nominating their candidate for Msyor, e shall soon have a siirpl us of the " unloaded" cfiicials of our town, they may wend their way in your direction in search of new fields and pastuics green. So put your goud people on their guard. Yours truly, . Duane THE FLOODS. TWENTY-FIYE THOUSAND PER SONS IN LOUISIANA RUINED. NEW ENGLAND MOVTXtt PHT?
