It is a matter in which the people have great interest, and we feel that we can not just at tbis time luruish tbom with reading of more vital interest. A large number of the ablest and best men In tbe State have spoken out boldly and earnestly on the subject, and their telling arguments should not be lightly passed over. It is In the power of tbe Legislature to say whether we shall have a Convention to relieve us of the present oppressive Constitution.

In glancing over in old file of tbelftsfi em CerW&uin, May 84th, 1888, our eye fell upon a Jengthy account of the celebration of the Oth May Mecklenburg Declaration, in Con cord, wherein the names of many of the ac tors are given, many of whom have finished their courae ea earth, but some of whom yet rsnd to read a brief reference to that in tetestirig occasion. "tie reporter of the day's proceedinir. Dr. Benj. Austin, says that there were not less than T000 people in the streets of Coneord on uiat day, which is described as beautiful. Three volunteer and three cavalry compa- mssin their gayest oostume,ere on par- S4e. uoi. Wm. U. Means was Marshal of the day. assisted by CoL John A Shimpoch. The procession was formed with great care, having 16 divisions, and marched to a grove pear the .Presbyterian church, m which stand had been erected. It was splendidly decorated by the ladles with flowers, wreaths pf try mid cedar, Ac. The ceremonies were oiieaswMyrer by 4w Rev. Jas. E. Mor rison. rjOV.jMhn iiobmson, D.

Moss, at the Con cord Hotel. After the cloth was removed from 'tbe table, first came the regular toasts. read by the President and Vice-President of the day, one at each end of the table. These, and also the volunteer toast, which follower, are rather loner for our present pur nose. Of the former, however, we like the following : " The Ladies: Bright eyes and soft voices are their weapons the 4JordV of creation are their trophies. Their is the only tyranny to which our chivalry will ever submit." Grant was then a baby. The following persons offered volunteer toasts : Gen. P. Barringer, Gen. Win. Allen, CoL Geo. Bernhardt, Dr. Kiah P. Harris, Col. D. M. Barringer, James Young, Esq., Col. Wm. C. Means, Wm. Barringer, Esq., Lewis B. Krimmfnger, Esq., Wm. 8. Harris, Esq., Chae. W. Harris, Esq., Dr. M. M.

James Young, Esq., delivered the most laconic and expressive toast, perhaps, of any. He said: "North Carolina slow but sure." A number of let ters in reply to invitations are also published Among those whose responses were read, we find the following: Ed. B. Dudley, Rob't Strange, Lewis Williams, D. L Swam Henry W. Connor.

Escutcheons with tbe names of Gordon, Lawtou and Evans decorated the walls, while the large audience chamber of the House of Representatives was deusely packed with an enthusiastic assemblage. Gov Smith presided, and introduced the speakers. AU were warmly welcomed ; but only one caught our attention. We listened to Gordon because be is a United States Senator, and representative man ot the South. la his tipoetroplie to tbe fl en heroes of the "lost cause." he uttered the hope that their courage, resolution, patriotism and love of liberty shall de scend as ati inheritance from generation to generation of Southerners till it rests upou those who shall take up and com- plete the work of bouthorn independence! These were not precisely the words, but they contain the sentiment. And how tbe rebels yelled ! It was tbe old fash ioned howl of triumph and head long pur suit. Again, said Gordon we shall use every honorable means to preserve our liberties, but if the worst comes, we can but take our lives in our bands and go forth for a mightier couflict than ever was known to the past ! But first he would ask the immense audience of former soldiers to uledtrH themtlvB m tmt halt-way any advances made by honora ble men ol the North to restore tbe Union; and again ihe crowd became t ramie in applause.

The recent trial of Robert Barnett in the county of Pearson, of which mention is made in our local column's, is one which ought to go far to correct the wicked mis representation with which the people of the South have been assailed in tlrt trans actions with the colored race. Here was a man, most respectably and influeutially connected, arraigned for a horrible crime upon a negro gri, and put on his trial upou the awful issue of life and l.n.i with family iuUuence powerless to shield him, the distinction of race unable to ex onorate him. In the stern presence of the law of the land, all these distinctions faded awwy, and the colored victim of brutality was accorded the same vindica tion of her rights tjiat under the laws of the State had before been eiveu to the v t - - ' m an a whites. And it is, and so it hss always been when North Carolinians have been free to administer their own laws. No taint of corruption has ever attached to our na tive born judges, no com plaint of partiality Ha ever been whispered to their dispara gement. Whatever of violence or dis order has grown up in the State in years now happily gone by was the product of factitious condition ot things, the result of the elevation of men to the bench who knew little of raw, had less principle, who are governed by their partisan prejudice!, and who delighted in denying justice to the white man, and in smoothing the way to escape for the colored man arraigned for his crimes. Violence, the summery vindication by society of its rights, and the redress of its wrongs, was the natural result of this. The political revolution of 1 870, a revolu tion that is still in progress, restored the Mate to its reverence lor law, to its obe dience to authority . And so it will be in all the Southern States, when the curse of carpet bag rale is removed, when the native whites of the South are free to Sorry out their own impulses of generosity, and their own suggestions of reason and J sound py,-Mqym&totfer, Mecklenburg Declaration, prefacing it with highly interesting and most impressive remarks, in which he related incidents of his own memory, reaching far back in the past.

A large and euthuatactic meeting of the citizens of Crave was held last week at Newborn to give expression to their views in favor of a Convention. The meeting was largely attended and many of the most prominent men in that section of the State were present snd took a part in tbe proceedings. The following expressive resolutions were unanimously adopted: 1. An unalterable attachment to popu lar liberty, and the principles and forms of law established by our fathers for se curing the same. 2. The Constitution under which we are now attempting to conauei public affairs (usually called the Canby Consti tution) needs many amendments, lu order to secure popular content, industry, thrift and happiness ; and, before, indeed, there can be any efficient legislation for the advancement of these ends. 3 Without going iuto details, not now practicable or desirable, it needs amend ments in our judgment, in tbe judiciary, and in the county government, which should be reformed, simplified, and made more economical; educational affairs, now a scandal to tbe Slate, should be overhauled and put upon a respectable footing ; cor porations and private and local laws should be subordinated to public authority ard public interests ; the power to tax and incur debt for the public should be more zealously guarded ; the eight amend ments made by-acta of the assembly in 1373 (supposed to be of doubtful validity) should bo affirmed : the platitcdes and trite moralities interpolated into tbe bill of rights, tbat grand old magna eharla of our ancestors, should bo taken out of it ; many provisions admitted to be unintelli gible or absurd should be made plain or expunged ; and tbe Constitution should be throughly unloaded of all matters found there, not consisting oi fixed princi ples but belonging to the field of varying policy, and not therefore having proper place iu the fundamental law. 4. Of the modes prescribed by the Constitution, tbat by convention is deem ed the one suited to our case. Tbe varie ty and complexity of ibe defects in the instrument to be amended make the other inappropriate, if not quite im practicable. 5. We are therefore ot the opinion the approaching General Assembly should call a Convent ion to review the present Constitution, and by proper alterations make it consort with the interests and wishes of the people of the State. We disclaim all purpose or desire through such Convention to disturb tbe homestead provisions now secured by law, unless it be indeed to make it more sure and valuable. Aud also aH purpose or wish to disturb the condition of tbe color ed people of tbe State as secured to them by tbe Constitution of the United States. And as we arc advised, a limitation may be put to the powers of tbe Convention by tbe organic laws of the assembly, we are content that these should be so limited as not to touch the subjects in qws.iou. With good will to all men, we seek to establish a stable government for ourselves under which we may, in peace and with some prospect of success, labor for tbe attainment of prosperity and happiness for om selves, and for the honor aud dig nity of the State. We seek a limited, localized and eco nomical government, without which there can be ho personal freedom. We seek equal aud exact justice to all men ; no partial legislation, uo partial dispensing of justice, uo partial nor need less taxation, holding our self-government well tu band aud warring against all as sumptions and usurpations of power. We desire to see governments rigidly restricted within the legitimate dominion of political power, .by excluding there from all executive and legislative inter meddling with tho affairs of society, where by monopolies are fosterred, private inter ests snbserved, privileged clashes aggran dized and individual freedom unnecessarily and nppressingly restrained. This is the platform on which we stand as constitutional reformers. The crisis is important aud suggestive. We are said to have, of those who agree with us, a two-thirds majority in each branch of the Assembly, (a rare providence in the his tory of politics in free governments.) The necessity for a change is acknowledged and urgent. Wby then should we not act 1 As practical, sensible men, we must either do so now, or conclude to remain saddled for au indefinite future, to be ridden by am bitious aud dextrous demagogues. We lay our views with all respect before our fellow men of the State and especially before the members of the ap proaebiug L-en era I Assembly. CONTAGIOUSNEW OF GLANDERS. Regarding the contagiousness of glandera Mr. Percival submits (he followiug deduc tion as the result of facts gleaned from his own experience: 1. That farcy and glanders, wbicb constitute tbe same disease, are propagat ed through the medium of stabling, aud this we believe to be tbe more usual way ia which d isease is communicated from horse to horse. 2. That infected stabling may harbor and retain tbe iufectTou for months or even years; and altl'ougb by thoroughly cleansing and making use of disinfecting means the contagion might be destroyed, yet it Would not be wise to occupy such stables immediately after such supposed dr alleged disinfection. 9.
