It affords us unbounded pleasure to place at the head of our columns this week, the name of our townsman, Capt. Joseph J. Davis, the gentleman nam cd by tKe Democratic Conservative Con ventionffbr this District, as our candi date to represent us in the Congrcs of tho United Status. In this nomination the Convention in our opinion did well. We ddt not believe that they could have h done better. Capt. Davis has been I'tuuifwf.iujr ueiurc me people or our county for soiue twenty years, and has made for himself a character for high integrity and ability that might be envied by any man, He is also ex tensively and well known throughout the counties of Nash, Granville and Wake ; and no niau stands higher in the estimation of these pconlo than he. Whenever his country has needed his services he has never been backward in in rendering them. Franklin has been honored by the ... . " party in making tier chosen son the standard bearer in this contest. Let us the people of Franklin, show that we arc worthy of the honor that has been done us, in select in cr fiom our mi.lc the man to wipe out the Radical major n . k u v ity in this district, We hope that eve ry man will go to work and not cease until the sun gin down on Thursday meotiiuay ot next August, When we shall have achieved a glorious triumph in Franklin, in this Senatorial and Congres sional District, and throughout the cn- lire btato. 1 lieu shall we send up a grand shout of rejoicing that tlial! re verberate throughout this whole country and infuso new life into the grand old Democracy, which is the only hope of ever rescuing the control of this govern mcnlfom its enemies.

This sent a thrill of pleas ure through us. We had hoped that the gallant men of the Cockade City would pluck her from the clutches of the vile swarm that has been so long prey ing upon her. Yet we trembled, and had our misgiving, and were not at all pre pared to read of the overwhelming de-, feat of the Radicals that overtook them Petersburg is elated, and well she may be, for she has drank deep of the bitter cup of Radical oppression? tyranny and corruption. All hail Petersburg ! We hope in August ne?t to send you greet ing, and to rejoice in our redemption, when we know that you will rejoice, with us, The grand victory was pot confined to Petersburg, but throughout the State of Virginia, (except in Lynchburg) the charter elecuons resulted in elorionR o : Conservative victories. Grand old Vir ginia! She "with her high device' her 4 Si Semper Tyrannis,1 the " loftiest motto that ever, blazed upon a warrior's shield or a nations arms' has shown to the world, that the descendants of Washington, Jefferson, Henry, Mar shall, the Lee's, and others are in every way worthy of the noble and lofty an- cestry whence they sprang. People of aorth Carolina 1 Men , of Franklin ! See what work has done for our neigh bor. The same exertion made bv 5 us will put us where Virginia is to-day. -Let us look across the border, and take courage and enter the contest with re newed zeal. We must work. Our State our County must be redeemed. And we must do this work. In the approaching contest there are no places for dead heads. Every man must come up to the full measure of his duty. If this be done we have no fears as to the result. Xlio Oivil llig-lits 15111; e had contemplated giving our - opinion on tais infamous measure an airing through the columns of the OuKlETt. until we found t.hp fnllnwino ' - - - 0 in the New York Sun, which is so much to our way of thinking that we reproduce it entire ; Ibis bill opens a question of the range of power in our national legisla ture to pass any and every act which the caprice of the hour may iuspire.- We are all of us interested to know whether our thirty seven States are, in all branches of local police, inde. pendent sovereignties or merely or ganized counties, whose alms houses and jails are to bo inspected bv a Con gressional committee, or its roads and bridges placed under the supervision of a detailed officer of the Engineer Corps. Further than this 'there are questions of personal right, which follow on this claim of unrestricted meddling by Congress. j Under this attempted ! enactment. which has yet - to run the dubious gauntlet o the ' House, we are to be compelled to send children to a mot tled school house, where there is to be mingling jof " black spirits and white" in a close association of com panionship repugnant to many instincts of race and social congruity. Front seats at theatres, parlors nith bedro(.ms attached, choice seats in Mr. Pullman's decorated saloous, are made oy this jurisdiction an enforcement of statute. our U0Qscs are now our castles, if I in their privacy there is to be no in- i w vasion of interference, what is their protection when, following this prece dent, sumptuary laws bhali determine the biscuit ration and the specific gravity of the morning coffee ? llow long before th cut of the?coat and the fall of the skirt will be regulated by edict, with a Federal judicature- to punish ly flue and penalty the infrac tion of its provisions ? .If this is a sample of what we we to expect of Vur law givers, it were better at once to have a Czar or a Sultan. It is centralization in its most obnoxious form, and without extenuation in any ucmaiiui ui our situation, ar sus pended the habeas corpus and justified the oruniition of the sword. The country now is at peace, yet tranquil lity seems to be no desire or purpose of the leaders of this faction, which waves warning hands to any leturning rcposu. It is a troubled sea, whose A . .1 . . waters are constantly casting 'jp mire and dirt. It delights in the breath of agitation and raises tho storm which it ha. no pnrposo to rule. The negro pow i tho fint estate of our real.3. All through the South he moves a 1 monach fnor can we discern any mar ked illustrations of retiring modesty in States where he has not been aMe to. conspire 1 with white plunderers to bankrupt treasuries. Uut above all human will the law of race is a irre fragable as the routine of the solar system,1 .We can coexist, &nd in peace, if native repulsions are not roused by an attempted rigor of enforcement. We cannot, and never can coalesce Look at the solemn teaching of mixed blood. The mulatto, with his ab breviated term of life ; the., quadroon, still shorter in longevity, and the oc tor oon, with its span of life ended in the dawning of manhood and woman hood. In every State, in all communities, there is subsidence into quet. We are in reaction after our long and tsrrirjle excitements; the physical, financial, and moral pulse is at a low and feeble beat. Why must we have fever a id inflammation over legislation that is not needed ? We read once a year that a negro has been excluded frbm a car, WJio of us that has travelled exten sively has not- had the same denial of entrance on roads where men travel ling alone are not allowed in the ladies' car, hut are banished to the tobacco juice and peanut shells of what is to all purposes a cattle wain, only for the absence cf the quadruped ? let we never brought suit against a company or petitioned Congress for a law to make legal an unlimited range all over a railway train. It i& nub- r 1 hshed occasionally that an infant drops into a fireplace and is burned. Shall we prohibit cooking ranges and exter minate stoves ? What wrong arid vrhat indemnity to the enfranchised race now demands the interference of power? "What they have cost us need not bo computed in bullion and blood. There are no re proaches for these predestined victims of servitude.' Our ancestors ate the forbidden fruit, and death and woe followed us in our participated crime, We have repaired tbe cruel wron and we have paid in large reparation of penance. If wisdom come with years and events, the history of Con gress under the Johnson Administra tion can now bo read with nrofit. ltw mucu petty passion. went into - r our ordinances, which returned to plague the inventors, is matter both of record and memory. The tendency of legislation ;. gainst conceded juris diction brings all law into contempt. Maine waged a relentless war upon whiskey and rum, and the heart of the distiller was made glad by an increased demand for the drippings of the worm drank behind the screen of curtains or in the darkened closet of surreptitious inebriety. The Legislature of Massa chusetts, too, years airo. when the season was lagging and early spring ploughing did not cpII the member to drive his team afield, beguiled their leisure by prescribing that wheels of transportation must have a eertain breadth of felloe ; but we have seen narrow tires since in that hoary Com monwealth. The act earned derision. and put a stop to kindred nonsense for scveial sessions. Gravo and reverend seniors of Con gress, ao not by yur rescripts witu the venerated signature of Ulysses Primus cither as a foot note on the lower margin, compel " us to' invito to our annual feast - of turkey and pump- km pie on inauksgiving Day, King Quashee I. of Sencgambia: Roarinc Bull of the Nez Perces, or Ki Fun of Mongolian bmpire, or- to go to tbe nearest Adjutant Dogberry of Federal justice and pay over our ultimate dol lars in amercement for contumacious disobedience of the lex Africani, Tlie Culminating- Iiiliinij-. The Greensboro Patriot, in speaking of the proposed Amendment to the Con stitution, by Senator Stewart, says : a u" u niteu oviura ocnaie nas car ped the climax of its perpetratfl infa mies by the passage of the civil rights or social equality bUl, and struck a death blow, when the bill becomes a law by passing the House, to the school system. " Fore-seeing the effect it would havo on our schools, Senator Stewart, to throw tlie accursed chains around us more tightly, and literally force the mingling of white and black children, offered the following amendment to the Constitution : Article 1G.If any State shall fail to maintain a common school system un der which all persons between the ages of five and eighteen years, not incapacL ted tor the same, shall receive free of charge such elementary education as Congress may prescribe, the Congress shall have power to establish therein such a system and cause the suinc to be maintained at the expense of such State. Referred to the committee on judi- wary. . . , . j; ; It is said that in its death throes the snake bites itself. That's what ex piring Radicalism is doing now. Now let them try to regulate the flow and ebb of ocean's tide by Congressional enactments and see how well they will succeed. ' When they do they will prob- ably be able to make op-rativc their civu rights monstrosity. -ayi i i How to Unilil uu INTor-tli Carolina' Let large land owners divide their lmuKnse tracts of land into small farms, and give away or sell at low yrices, alternate sections to permanent settlers from Eurooe and the North. If industrious migrants can be located, and the population increased twenty five per cent, tie prica of lands would be enhanced mora than double the price Vidue. .'This certainly would compensate land owners, if by giving halt they could secure good emigrants The State Board of Immigration has an agent located at each county in the State, with a central office at Raleigh.
