We regret to learn that the Hon.

Her people have been doing it all the
damage possible, aod especially her capi

the Road under way, and her people are
more deeply interested in its completion
than any other town or county on the
entire line. Why was Salisbury over
looked in this ' matter 1 It seems that
nobody will suit the Governor bat "fire
tried" Radicals, then why waa not D. L.
Bringle or some other influential Rad
from Salisbury appointed! We want a
Salisbury man on the Board, and aa we
can't get a Democrat we will take a Rad.
Bat we claim a Director as a matter of
right, and it will tell against the governor
aad bis party, if he should refuse to re
cognise this just claim.
The Tribune says that rosae of the sug
gested Constitutional provisions are so
obviously desirable that it wonders North
Carolina bas gotten along eight or ten
years without them ; such, for instance, as
that providing for the disfranchisement of
oersotis eonvieled of felony. But the
That Protest, m
We endorse the protest of A. W.
Tourgee and 23 other members of the
State Convention, protesting against the
restrictions of the Legislature as inserted
in the Act calling a Convention of the
State to amend their Stale Constitution.
Although the protectants are Republicans j
we are not afraid to assert and declare
that tbey enunciate the principles of the
State Rights Democratic party, and we are
sorry that every J acksoo and Van Buren
Democrat, and Jeffersonian Democrat, 14
the Convention, did not endorse the pro
teat. -
We declare now, aa we stated when
the eall for Convention was first made by
the Legislature, that a Legislative body
has no right to restrict the act of a Con"
titutiona! State Convention. The Legis
lature might as well prescribe what food
a private family shall eat as to undertake to
prescribe what a Convention of the peo
pie of the State, duly elected, shall do or
not do.
We have abundant authority for what
we say on ibis subject.
Gov. Bragg, probably the ablest man
that ever led toe Democratic party in
this State, in a speech in 1854, said :
"A Convention of the people cannot be re
stricted by the Legislature. A Convention
may make most unexpected and unacceptable
changes in the Constitution, and ihe people can
have no remedy."
When the question of "Free Suffrage"
was being discussed in this State, the
lion. Daniel M. Barringer declared.
"If we call a Convention, that call must be
absolute, and not conditional.,. The Legislature
cannot control the sovereigns, but can call them
together in pursuance of the Constitution.
And the Hon. Cbas. Manly, the leader
of the Whig party in North Carolina for
many years, said :
'It cannot be doubted that a Convention call
ed by the General Assembly (two-thirds concur
ring) would be clothed with unlimited discretion
over the Constitution. The General Assembly
has power to call a Convention into being, but
no power of themselves to prescribe a limit to Us
authority."
While we think that Mr. Tour gee and
his Republican friends who joined in the
protest are right, we do not mean any
approbation or justification of their incon
sistency in presenting such a protest after
their course in the Ute campaign, in which
they accused the Democrats of an inten
tion to violate the restrictions imposed by
the Legislature. The Democratic Dele
gates who promised to obey the restrict
ions have shown good faith, while Mr.
Tourgee and his party friends have shown
bad faith. But consistency is as much a
jewel now as it ever was. Charlotte
Democrat.
We notice that the Commission
ers of other counties ate availing them
selves of the county paper to lay be
fore; the public a statement of the? re
ceipts and disbursements during the year
ending 1st hist. The law requires that
feuch statement be published in a county
paper or posted at the court-bouse, ten.
But Rowan, one of the wealthiest counties
in the State can not afford to expend a
few dollars to show the tax payers what
has been done with their mouey. The
posting at the court-house amounts to no
publication at all. Perhaps, tbe Board
prefer that tbe public should not know
any thing atovt the receipts and disburse
merits.

bim. Both will we have no doubt be
adopted : ) ft
A Bill tobc entitled an Ordinance to a
mend see. 21. art. I, of the Qmttitution,
concerning the Suspension 0 the Writ
of Habeas Corpus.
Be it ordained by the people of North
Carolina in Convention assembled :
NOW OR NEVER.
Tbe harmony, pertinacity and pluck
evinced by the members of the Democratic
party in tbe Constitutional Convention
betoken ereat rood to tbe State. But

however remarkable and admirable such
conduct may be, nothing less can bo ex
pected from tbe men wupse names are to
be found in the list of delegates composing
that body. Tbe people are most ably
represented. There is no lack of ability,
and the patriotism, devotion, aod respon
sibility of the delegates are a sufneieut
guarantee that tbe work of the Conven
tion will not only be well done, bnt will
be generally acceptable to the people.
We are therefore in favor of leaving tbe
work of amending tbe Constitution entire
ly with tbe delegates. There is no use
of submitting it to the people for ratifica
tion. It will save a heavy expense which
is of more concern to the people just now
than the possibility of getting a bad Con
stitution. Aud there will be no danger
of reaping defeat which would be ruinous.
If Cliugman, and Coleman, aud Avety,
aud Shober, and Henderson, and McCor-
kle, and Dobsou, and Bennett, and Price.
and Durham, and tbe many other able
and patriotic Delegates in that body are
not capable of making for tbe people ol
North Carolina a Constitution which will
prove good aud acceptable, then when
will we get one, and who will make it 1
Tbey as a body are more capable of mak
ing a Constitution to suit the masses, and
of passing judgement upon its merits in
their capacity as legislators than the peo
ple are as voters, en mass. And the
questiou has just narrowed down to this :
Is it better, now that wc have the neces
sary majority and the opportunity, to set
tle at ouce and definitely the character of
the State Constitution by refusiug to sub
mit it for ratification after it has been
properly and acceptably remodeled, than
to submit it and rnn the risk of having it
voted down by 80.000 negroes and their
while leaders. This is a grave question,
The Mississippi Troubles-
The conttiol of races in the Stat of Georgia
has hardly ended when m still more alarming
and deplorable condition of attain is witnessed
in Mississippi. In the latter 'State in some
counties the troubles have culminated in a wsr

The Love and Devotion of Wo
man.
"He was in tbe habit of getting drnnk
and besting his wife, aud had olten been
known bj tbe neighbors to strike ber be
fore tbe time of the fata! blow."
Substantially like this runs some po
lice report in almost every number of lhe
great daily papers of our large cities. The
ntiflecting reader tu rns from snch a para
graph with disgust. He regards it as low
and vulgar. And low and vulgar, iu tbe
extreme, is tbe conduct of the husbaud
which is thus described.
But how abont lhe wife, whose wretch
ed lile has been ended by an act of bro
tallity aud violence on the part of another t
Iu many an instance it has been hers to
practice a patience which was long-uff
ering and untiring, and a forbearance re
alising the divine command : Whosoever
smitetb thee on tbe one cheek, torn
to bim the other also." No fiction narrates
a love, adovotion, a submission surpassing
hers. Painters have, not illustrated and
poets have not sung higher Christian
qualities in woman than are sometimes
found to adorn the habitations of the lowly,
amid abject poverty, and where vice and
brutality are encountered. If love led to
tbe nil of oar first parents, it can be said,
on the other hand, to have illuminated
the darkest abysses to which bo nan aa-
ior hasavtr eWtbe.
a
Important Eesults Pleasantly
Achieved.
Although the days of irrational medication
are happily passing away, and intelligent phy
sicians have ceased to measure the supposed
efficacy of a remedy by the violence of it
effects, there still linger among the older prac
titioners a few of those predilections in favor
of "heroic" reatment, which it would be lucky
for their palienta if they had abandoned. One
of these is a loudness for administering drastic
purgative, such as blue pill, calomel, jalap
and caster oil. A contrast of the effects oi
these drenching drugs with the mild and bene
ficient operation of Hosteller's Stomach Hitters,
is the very beat argument that cau be adduced
against tbe wisdom of such destructive treatment-
The old fashioned cathartics convulse
the stomach, aod relax the bowels so abruptly
and copiously as to weaken them. Hosteller ,
Hitlers, on the contrary, never gripe the intes
tines, but produce a laxative effect resembling
ibe action of nature. At the same time thee
remove tbe cause of constipation, by arousing
. a a s . . .a ae
tne uorraant uverto wreie tne Due .necessarv .
to the regular performance of-, lhe excretive V
function, and enable tbe stomach to thoroughly
digest the food. Indigestion and biliousness
having beau thus ovescotne, aregadar habit of
body is the necessary consequence, which, the
occasional subsequent use of the Bitters renders
permanent. Every disagreeable symptom
which, in the absence of perfect digestion and
evaluation, harasses ihavaystasa, raaieaea wi
der the influence of the great national staas
ns a e . s w s . a a a
acmoaea alterative, xiauitn and tieor are
