Y at eb, Editor of the Charlotte De;tr Sir-The Raleigh ft fire? of the 10th itvsL con Urns sm articm copied from your paper, which I sss perssukded reflects rather ui.jusUy upon the present General Assembly, and having great respect for your political wisdom and intel ligence, and a high regard lor your per sonal character, I am induced to address you this communication suggesting some particulars wherein I think your article does the Legislature injustice. The article is headed "The Legislature," and opess as (blow. : " The Legi-lature of North Carolina re assembles in November. Un less it doe something more and better than at the last session, it sroaid be bet tcr to never meet again." The artiele then proceeds to point out what partienlar legislation (he people need.aud by impli cation, taken In connection with the para graph iuat quoted, casts a severeretlectHtn upon the Legislature for not having at its last sesison enacted such "practical'4 Leg. ialation as would have accomplished the purposes von seem to desire to see con snmmated. The several pnrposta you desire to see t sleeted by "practical " Leg islaiion I propose to. no tee seriatim. 1st, in the order yon suggest. ' Legis lation, each as enlarging the jurisdictioa, of Magistrates." I take it that vou mean by the term " Magistrates," Justices of the Peace, So understanding you I join issue with you, and contend that the people need" no such legislation. My observation leads me to the conclusion that the Superior Courts are able at pie sent to attend to all the business devolv itig upon them under existing legislation in all the counties of the Male wiib rea sonable dispatch, except in those counties .... . .1 containing large towns and cities, such as Mecklenburg, Wake, New Hanover, Urav. en. Cumberland, and perhaps Rowan, Guilford, Wayne, Beaufort, Chowan and a few others. For the convenience of the neoole of these towns and cities it is with- in the power of tbe General Assembly to provide for "Special Courts." and the present General Assembly, at its last ses- sion was liberal in manifesting disposition to make tbe provision in every case where it was aaked. I believe, except in tbe case of Goldsboro' and I suppose there would have been no difficulty in that case if it bad been certain that the people were united in demanding it. If then the convenience of the people is answered without this enlargement of jurisdiction of the Justices of tne f eace, 1 suppose o ie will contend that the Justices can cx- ercise this jurisdiction more intelligently, as a general thing, than tbe Superior Courts, or more beneficially for the peo- pie. One danger, I may say, of enlarg- ine this jurisdiction, as suggested in erimi- oal matters, uiieht be apprehended, and that is that culprits might escape more r . w B B ' easily adequate punishment, as it is to no- torums that Justices are usually more . " .. lenient lhan the Superior Courts in inflic- tine punishment lor crimes. If the Supe- rior Courts are able to attend to the needs of the people in reference to iudidical mt- ters without inconvenience, and are capa- ble of attending to tbem more tntellicen- tly than the Justices, I confess 1 do not see the necessity or propriety of this en larjrujrill Ul JUriaUICVIUII. Your 2d suggestion is to interfere with lokkMM he 1,1. i..r tln.m iv frnm a man I . i : .1 . wi v . w r . " v mm mt " , . . w u. mw. W . who has made a bargain for tbeir services, and a more speedy putiishment for rogues and rascals." In relereuce to this sug- reslioti 1 invite your attention ta tne ex a a .a istine legislation on this subject See Chapter ft8 of the laws of 1866, ratified the 2d day of March, A. D ., 1866, as amended by Chapter 124 of the Laws of 1857. Taking the two together it will appear that the existing law pmvides that if ''any Dersou" shall eutice. persuade and sr sr . wj a procure any servart by indenture, or . " . anv aervent bv contracted, in wriiiue to serve his employer, to unlawfully leave the service of his master or employer ; or if any person shall knowingly and unlaw- fullv harbor and detain in his own service, and from tbe service nf his master or em- uloyer, any servant who shall unlawfully leave tbe service of such master or employ- er then in either case, such person and eer vant may be sued, singlv or jointly, by a a, the master, and on recovery he shall have I judgment for the actual double value of the damages assessed, and, in add uion, ''such person and servant shall also pay a penalty of one hundred dollars to any person sunie for the same fingle or jointly one-half to his use and theother to the use of the Wardens of the Poor of the county where suit is brought, and the offender shall moreover he guilty of a misdemean or, and fined, at the discretion of the Court not exceeding one huudied dollars and imprisonment not exceeding six months." Thus, it will be seen, this important subject has not escaped the attention of the legislators, and if the present General Assembly, at its laat sesson, took no ac tion in reference thereto, it waa because they saw that an efficient, if not an amply sufficient, law was already iu force. 3rd. lour article states mat "a more stringent vagrant law should bo enacted so as to compel men and women to work or show some means of living without stealing." If you, or any one else, can suggest "a more stiintent" law upon the subject of vagrancy, within tbe bounds of propriety, than tbe law already in ex is tenc I shall Tike to hear the suggest ion See Chanter 42 of the Acts of 1866 Tbe law defines a vagrant to be "any person who mav he able ta labor and "has no apparent means of subsistence, and neg lects to apply himself to some honest oc cupation for 'the support of himself and family, or a "person I u .u spenuing ma . . .... M S time iu dissipation, or gambling, or saun tering about without employment, or en d( a voting to manui. ft Jsel or his family by undue and unlawful means, mismuenor, . w a. a and many lie puntsb a y ne or impn 6, 1873. or both, or sentenced to the workhouse for such time aa the Court wmmj wiob nt. t mm una a pretty think fit. I think . ft. : L r . w i . i stringent and efficient law u aoppreaa vagrancy if our people will only tee to it that the law i executed. If they do not choose to do that then no law will accora plish the porpooe, nnd it is oneiesa to charge the vagrancy of the State upon tan Legislature. 4th. Yon are made to say "we hope some member of the Legislator will have the independence to inaugurate a move, lent for the re establishment of the whip ping poet and pillory. The whipping and post is the beet promoter of morality ever known. Do you mean my dear friend, to any that yon hope some member of the t resent LrriUtnre will eL hi ihts 1 Please read the 1st Section, Article II of the Constitution, "The followinr mm is h men i s only shall be known to the laws of this State, viz : Death, imprison men t, wttti or without hard labor, fines, rr from office and dumnafifieetiou to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under this State. Mow 1 think that any member of the Legislature who would vote for a law establishing the whipping post as a punishment for orime, while that provision of the Constitution remains, wou'd be committing perj qry . How would be escape it t I belive I have tuns pasted in review the several special suggestions you make in your artiele. 1 join heartily with you in the n pe that -when the Legislature meets the honest workinr noonle of the Slate will demand some practical, useful legislation, instead of wasting time with frinlous local matters of no general public importance or benefit. " Indeed. I hone f J to see the members do this without any df man d, and I believe if the Conservative . a B ST . iii . press et tne state will show a disposition lo ctrengthen the hands of the honest, patriotic woriting men of the legislature, instead or laboring to disparage and em barrass, as has been too much the case, we may nave a useful session of the Legtsla lure. 1 he intelligent public know very well lht the action of the Legislature at its at sessiop, in respect to some matters, w distasteful to me as to any man in 1 m sr e . - " tate, out l thins; it is exceedingly unkind in tbe Conservative and Demo cratie press of tbe State to make their re uectious upon the Legislature so general as to reach in its effects the maiorilT of the Conservative and Democrats in the General Assembly, who were aa faithful w - to their trust and as patriotic iu tbe dis charge ol tlieir duties as ever men were, in my opinion. I tbiuk tne prers would be doing much better service for our State if they would endeavor to aid, instead of disparage. The Couservitiee end Domo - cratic members of the present Legislature are not without an influence, and thia they ought to recognize. In this way the pub- la- .1 w - interest may be vastly promoted, and the otate saved from tbe bands of tbe I II J-t ft L 1 . t naaicais woo nave so nearly ruined our every interest as to make legislation ember- raseing, and everything else. Let ns unite mid barmoniae and try to do what little w can. i confess 1 asa not hopeful of 11,1 luture, ao tne Deal we can. Much useful legislation is cut off by the present embarrassing situation of our State fiuan- ces. Indeed we are rendered almost pow - I r Pf in no man .hlniri lhal m rm ulmn.l .. ...... . indispensable for our respectability, to say nothing of our future nrosrx titv. and I i t r r r j j " J. i L t . ... no nope ot aoing any thing witn our present resources to revive our credit.
