Tho County Commiseioners of Rowan will hold a regular meeting on Monday next, and will, we learn, reconsider theb action on the subject of submittbg to the vote of the people the question of a Coun ty subscriptioii to the Yadkin Railroad. It is much to be regrttted that an incident so chilling to the ardor of the friends of this enterprise should have been made as was done by the action of the Commissoii era at their January meeting. That re markable action has been regarded by many of our citizens as high-handed and dictatorial to att inexcusable degree. They feel that the Commissioners assumed a graver responsibility than ia dch gated to them whett they undertake to rule that the people of the Cdunty shall not enter- Ltain and decide-for themaelves the qaes- tion of a County subscription for this or any other purpose. We are glad, there fore, that members of that body have de termined to j reconsider the matter and leave the responsibility where it belongs, with the voters of die County. Tlie eu terpriso itself is unquestionably a vital one to Salisbury, and of great inr portanec to the whole jcomity. It will benefit the farmers of Rowan more "than the North Carolina Road, by opening to them a good marketjfbr their products, atjd byj chcapeaing transportation on goodiT for their coiuutuption. Tliese proposUioils, im portant'as thejy are, are easily demonstra ted, though we shall not now atten)t itl The subji ctwill be fully diacussed before the people be pre they are called upon to vote.

Strike outj secfiou three of th ninth article, an.linlit-ii thereitf iusert the following: "The The J4b?ral Republicans" of Mo., recently had) the largest Convention ever held in i the Stato , at Jefferson city, j This wing of the party are op posed to Grant, in favor of universal amnesty, and for a redaction of the tanffto a revenue standard. They called for a National Convention of the "Liberal; Republicans" to be held at Cincinnati, on the 4th of May. It is predicted by Greely that that Con vention will name the next President of the U. States. If they shall put in nomination a man whom the oppo nents of Grant in the North, and the no' party, bar honest people of the South, can support, Greeley's predic tion will be verified. f "We copy a very sensible article from the N. Y. Tribune of the 29th Janu ary, which will interest those who are watching the progress and develop ment of events and schemes having reference .to the next Presidency of the country. It will be seen that Greely is observant of probable dan gers ahead. That he has bis ear to the ground, trying to interpret the deaptoned mutterings which come thence, and his manner indicates the beliefs in a coming ground-sweell, which will heave Grant and his man agers clean but of their boots. Let it come. Thel State looses nothing by the Public Printer, Mr. Turner, as stated in this paper months ago would be the result. Indeed, we doubt not the sum Wer drawn ($3,338 69,) as re ported by the Commission of practical printers to whom the measurement of work done was submitted, has already been reimbursed to the State in work since complaint was fir made. Whatever else mav be said against Mr. Turner, of this matter at least, he o stands acquitted.

A division of sentiment was soon devel oped on the question : 1. Protection v. Free Trade ; 2. Complete Amnesty vs. Disfranchisement the Suite ConstitHtlon, framed in 1865, having sweeping? dia franchised all who had favored the Re bellion. The " Liberals," so called, framed a resolve on the Tariff question which the Regnlais accepted ; eo the two grounds of difference were reduced to one. The Liberals preeenlod an Amnesty re solve which the Regulars rejected, but offered to leave the question open, to be decided at the polls each voter saving Yes or No to Universal Amnesty as he should see fit. We thought then, and think Mill, that this should have been accepted that, since it was already mor ally certain that all the Democrats and nearly half the Republicans would vote for and carry Amnesty at all events, then was no excuse for: dividing the Republi can party on this question. The Liberals however, bolted aud put op an indepen dent lickrr, which all the Dim crats supported of course, and which was over whelmingly elected. Just ponder these figures: j 1864.

Four Democrats, two Liberals (one of them a Democrat iu all but name), and three Republicans, were chosen to Con gress, with a Legislature whereby Frank Blair was sent to the U. S. Senate. While the canvass was prceeding, President Grant was induced to remove certain Federal officers who favored the Liberal movement and appoint Regulars in their stead. This interference, howev er well intended, only served to add fuel to the raging flames. Between Thirty and Forty Thouxand Republicans, many i.j r- ii . i . Union, voted the Liberal ticket : and of these a large portion were present or re avoid prophecy, but it is very safe to askumc that this Convention will nol renominate Gen. Grant.

Now thai Emancipation ia a fixt-d fact, Impartial Suffrage seaily so, and Univer sal Amnesty inevitable, there is no re maining National seu which is half so important in the v.ew of The Tribune ne that of Protection vs. Freo Trade. We have no shadow of doubt that the over throw of Pmtection "would be speedily followed (as iu 1816-20, and again in 1833-7) by a sweeping industrial colUpse and commercial bankruptcy, which would carry hunger and distress into the homes of millions of our countrymen. To such a calamity, 27e Tribune cannot contribute, eyen passively, for any conceivable con sideration. But The Tribune's good wishes did not, any more than Gen. Grant's proscription of Liberals, save tie Missouri Regulars from oven lielming defeat in 1870; and the portents of coiubg disaster are such that it would be treison to ignore them. While our lifelong adversaries appear to bo acting, or preparing to act, with wis dom aud polite liberality, those who h'ave the running of the regular Hepublicau machine seem to us bent on blindly, madly rushing on disaster. To instance but two points; they ire blundering sadly in their higgling, grudging mean-souled dealing with the subjret of Amnesty, aud in their attempts to brand every one as auii-Ilepublican who does not favor tho reuomination of Gen, Grant. Lot us consider the subject of Amnes ty: : The House, at its former session, pass ed a measure of cempiehe.ieive though not universal Amnesty, by a very -decisive vote. That measure has now been two mouths before the Senate. Ex-Goveruor Vance was last year chosen a Senator from North Carolina. Having been a Member of Congress before 18C1, aud since a Rebel General aud Governor, he is ineligible ; but ike Amnesty bill, as it passed the House, would allow him to take his seat to which he was unquestion ably elected. But Joseph C. Abbott, bis Republican predecessor, wants that sent and the fact that he waa badly beaten by Vance iu the late election doer not seem to him of any consequeuce. So, at Abbott's suggestion, an amendment is made to the House bill by the Senate which excludes Gov. Vance from the seat atd constrains him to resign ; Mr. Abbott evidently cal calating that this is one point made to wards his own admission to the coveted post ! Ot course :he Senate can put in Abbott Tjr the Grand Duke Alexia if it will; but North Carolina hat choaeu nei ther of hem. .as the whole world must know. And the amendment of the House bill expressly to exclude hira whom she hat elected, it one of the wrongs which a ommVJt PY wn perpetrate, but by which it surely treat ares up wrath arajnst the Uy f wrath, which it battens aud presented in the Convention at Jefferson ' 1 ,,e pmpnsea mmD 'Jonvr atiou ma; " "1 tu$ case of G.

Gen Grant may be stronger than any other Republi can ; he donbtlesa haa more supporters to-day than any other; yet no judicious friend would wish him pitted against all who would prefer some oue else to him. Yet those who engineer his canvass seem determined to make up exactly that issue.
