Carolina Watchman. NOVEMBER 25. SALUTATORY. With tbia issue we assume the duties of Associate Editor. We know enough of the business to feel that we are not catering "enchanted ground," and see not far in the distance the multitudes of evils with which we will have to contend. We are taking on our shoulders the Uerculean task of trying to gratify the insatiable appetite of the MiHlir for news. Nevertheless we make y 1 t ur 1 ow, an 1 while we lay not "the flatter iug unction to our soul" that we shall es cape an occasionally tumble iuto the Slough of Despond, yet we hope for glimpses of the Duieciable mountains Our aim shall be to keep out ' patrons fully alive to the currents events of the day, not even omitting the state of the weather. Jo short, we will do the best we can, and as the poet says, "angels can do no more." Respectfully, T. K. BRUNER. Forty eight revenue collection districts abolished by Geo. Grant. The trial of McDonald commenced at Louisville, Gen. Sherman first witness called. The Arkansas Legislature haa voted $10,000 for Centenuial purposes. The new Constitution of Alabama has been ratified by 60,000 majority, only four counties voting against it. A frightful railroad accident happened on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad last week, resulting in the death of a little boy. An empty freight train running behind the passenger train ran into the latter. The coach struct by It was fall of passengers, and the wonder is that many were not killed. 7 Our young friend at Mt. Pleasant has complied with the usual regulations o printing offices by sending his name as author of an article on courtship, but as it is too late for this week, his contribu tion must wait until our next. The Rads predicted that the State Conven tion would cost from $300,000 to $500,000 whereas it cost only about $24,000. Good guessing, that: They are now protest ing against the ratification of the Constitutions amendments, but the people will re-enact the Alabama vote roll up from tyZ to y thousand in favor of them. Three thousand voter at Indianapolis, have signed a demand on Congress for the immediate repeal of the resumption Act, commonly known an the Sherman Rill : For the permanent re tirement of alt National Bank notes, and the substitution of legal tender paper money: And the refunding of at least a portion of the na tional bonded debt into bonds bearing 3.05 per cent per annum, interconvertible with national legal-lender pnper. m These men believe the Government is to blame for the present hard times, depression of business, and therefore demand a change in the financial policy of the country. The war Scare. The news papa per rep resentations of a probable war between Spain and the United States seem to be without foundation. The excitement is subsiding. We are quite sure that the people of this country desire peace above all things, and least of all a war for the acquisition of Cuba or any other terri tory. A recent private letter from Minister Cashing, direct from Madrid, alludes generally to European topics, but makes no allusion whatever, to any causes which would be likely to disturb the peace now existing between Spain and the United States. And it is denied that any official correspondence has been had in reference to Cuban matters, justifying the apprehension of war as the result, or that the activity in the Navy yards is to be so con strued. THE WHISKY FRAUDS OF THE WEST, It has long been known that there was a powerful Whisky King in the West, through whose almost omnipotent power, tariff, laws, and regulations iu regard to the manufacture and sale of whisky have been from time to time established, which secured to them almost a complete mo nopoly of the whirky trade of the country. A ney made aud unmade laws on this subject, (by their powerful influence at Washington), and of course shaped them with reference to the success of their own private schemes for making money. No grander scheme of rascality lias ever ex fated in this country, and none was ever carried out with more effrontery. And yet, strange to say, the officials at Washing ton have not, until recently, undertaken to interfere with this Ring. Iu leaders were frequently at Washington, visiting toe V bite House, and riding out with President Grant, wiib whom they seemed in be en the most intimate teruw. The N. Y. Tribune, of the 17th, a moderate Kpnhlican paper, undertakes to explain how this intimacy came totals, and en th'Avor to show how it is reconcilable with the iunoceuce of the President sis regards the swindling operations of the liing. It also endeavors to draw com fort from the fact that since the revelation uf the corrupt practices of the Ring, Pres ident Grant has not only not interfered to hinder the prosecution of the offender?, but cher riugly predicts tbat if he shall t inue to favor these proceeding to a final consutnation, it must go far to re move suspicious against himself aud com mend him to the hearty praise of the good men of the country. It is to be hoped for the credit of the country that, mean as General Grants qualifications for the high office he holds are admitted to be, and questionable aa his integrity is regarded by many, these revelations may not involve him in the dis grace of being a party to the shameless rauds and rascalities of this Ring. The approach of the next Presidential canvass, and the well-uigb settled question of his candidacy for the third term, are circum stances, however, calculated to deprive him of Che honor of honestly entertaining any holy horror with which he may seem (o regard the members of the Ring, and to withold from him even the credit of favoring proceedings for their prosecution People will suspect a sudden seal on i new departure" though good, in the ab struct, where there are ulterior ends ar dently coveted which may inspire tbat seal. Eveu if all tho thieves should be convicted and condemned to go to the Penitentiary to keep company with Joyce, who threatens to turn State's evidence against them, many will regard it as made-up game to win popularity for the Republican party and its Presidentia candidate, well-knowing that the Presi dent can easily liberate the offenders whenever there is nothing more to be either made or lost by the interposition o bis pardoning power. A St. Louis correspondent of the Tri bune, Nov. 19, lists up the men on tria before the Court in that city tbns : "Of the more active members, to whom little envelopes were delivered every week containing neat salaries averaging $50,000 a year, Joyce has been convicted, though not at St. Louis nor for participation in frauds in this district. Fitsroy has con fessed, and McDonald, McKee and Ma guire remained to be tried. Of course they have many friends. But public opinion on the whole sustains the Gov ernment very strongly. Those who have especial liking for either of the victims try to believe that he was merely a tool or a dupe, "more sinned against thau sin ning." But this Ring was dictatorial, impudent, and fond of lording it over oth ers with its ill-gotten wealth." Later. St. Louis, Nov. 23. Mc Donald was convicted on all eight indict ments. The jury consulted three hours. The Judge will not pass sentence until he has heard the evidence in all the cases. Meanwhile McDonald is uuder the custo dy of the Marshal in default of $50,000 bail. The maximum of punishment is 3 years ; the minimum is 6 months ou each indictment, and a fine at the discretion of the Court. The Proposed Constitutional Amendments. To The Editors of the Watchman : The present Constitution of North Carolina contains fourteen separate articles. The amend ments adopted by the late Constitutional Con vention propose alterations in all of these articles except three, vix : the 8th, relating to "Corporations other than Municipal f the 10th, to "Homesteads and Exemptions f and the 12th to "Militia." I .shall endeavor, in a series of articles which I expect to write for your paper, to point out all the alterations proposed by said amend ments; to explain them fully and candidly; and to state fairly and honestly all the material objections urged against them, answering these objections with anch arguments as shall occur to me. I have satisfied my own mind, and I hope to convince my readers, that none of the amendments are justly liable to serious criti cism ; and that very many of them are not only perfectly unobjectionable, but are also of such excellence as to commend themselves to the approval of all honest, intelligent men and irre spective of party. The forty-nine signers of the "Protest," with all their industry and astute ness, were not able ttrspecify but three of these amendments, which they were willing to face their constituents and boldly take ground against And, if the minds of these forty-nine were free from party rancor, and unbiassed by partisan hate, they too would approve what they have so bitterly and so unjustly denounced. shall now proceed to the performance of mv task, noting and considering the amendments proposed to each article of the Constitution, in the order of its number and title. ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS. This article cod tains 37 sections, all of which remain untouched except two. 1. Section 24 now reads thus: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the securi ty of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed ; and, as standing armies, in time of peace, are dange rous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and the military should be kept under strict subor dination to, and governed by the civil power." The amendment proposed simply, adds the following words to the section. "Nothing herein contained shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or pre vent the Legislature from enacting penal statutes against said practice," This amendment discourages the practice. now entirely too common, of can-vine conceal sd weapons about one's person ; and authorizes the Legislature, in express terms, to pass laws to prohibit it, by appropriate penalties The amendment was proposed by Mr. Rnfus Barringer, a Republican delegate fiom Meek. leuburg county, and was passed, as a matter of course, without objection or discussion think myself, that the Legislature already has me power conferred by this amendment, but I have no doubt that the incorporation of sucn a clause in the Constitution will be calculated to do good. 2. Section 25 is now as follows t Th iv pie have a right to assemble together to consult ior weir common good, to instruct their reore- entatives, and to apply to the Legislature for rraress or grievances." Tl k . - - ' x e amenu men t adds the following : "But ... nnii societies are dangerous to the a This amendment was also adopted without any objection. As all lovers of peace and good order in this State are tired of hearing of, and are utterly opposed to mob violence, whether committed or dictated by Union Leaguers or by members of the white brotherhood, I pre en me this amendment will be as palatable to the people as it was to the Convention. ARTICLE II. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. Six amendments are proposed to this article, which contains 29 sections. 1. Section 2 is proposed to be amended by striking out the words "the third Monday in November" and inserting in lieu thereof the following : the first Wednesday after first "the Monday in January, next after their election," so that said section as amended will read as fol lows : "The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet biennially on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January, next after their election ; and when assembled shall be denominated the General Assembly. Neither House shall proceed upon public business, unless a majority of all the members are actually present." This amendment is one of the moat useful adopted by the Convention. It will get rid of the usual adjournment for the Christmas holi days which always interrupts the business of the Legislature before it gets fairly under way so that, virtually, the session of the Leg islature previous to the adjournment at Christ mas is an almost entirely useless expense; although the cost to the tax payers is about thirty thousand dollars. This change will be a relief to the people in another way. I mean by postponing the time for paying their taxes to the Sheriff for it is well known that the reason why the Sheriffs are now required to settle up ao early with the Public Treasurer is because the large draughts, made on the Treasury by the members of the Legislature, require the Treasurer Jo have a pretty lonp parse at the time of its assembling. It will certainly be a great relief to the people, if the time for the collection of taxes can be post poned until after they have gathered their crops and carried them to market. 2. Section 4 is obsolete, being the "gerry mander" of the Senatorial Districts by the Radical Convention of 1868, and is proposed to be stricken out. 3. Section 8 is also obsolete, being the apportionment of Representatives by the same Convention, and is proposed to be stricken out. 4. Section 27 is amended by retaining the first part thereof, which reads as follows : "The terms of office for Senators and mem bers of the House of Representatives shal commence at the time of their election." The clause stricken out is obsolete, simply relating to the term of office of the members of the Legislature, elected at the first election under the present Constitution. 5. The firt clause of section 29 is retained It reads thus ; "f he election for members of the General Assembly shall be held for the respective districts and counties where they are qpw held, or may be directed hereafter to be held, in such manner as may be prescribed by law, on the first Thursday in August, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sev enty, and every two years thereafter. But the General Assembly may change the time of holding the elections." The amendment strikes out the remainder of the section, whid is now obsolete and which only provides trAcn tue first election under the Constitution for members of the General Assembly should be held, and at what time the General Assembly then elected should meet. 6. The following new section has been added to this article. "Section 30. The members o tne ueneral Assembly for the term for which they have been elected, shall receive as a com pensation for their services the sum of four dollar per day for each day of their sewion for a period not exceeding sixty days; and should they remain longer iu session, they shall serve without compensation. They shal also be entitled to receive ten rents per mile both while coming to the seat of government and while returning home, the said distance to be computed by the nearest line or route of public travel. The compensation of the presi j : r . i. , t r ti ujug uuiixm ui me iwo nouses snail ue six dollars per day and mileage. Should an extra session of the General Assembly be called, the mem Iters and presiding officers shall received like rate of compensation for a period not exceeding twenty days." This is an exceedingly important amend ment and ought to be written in letters of gold It will remedy a very crying evil. The com pensation proposed, although moderate, is sufficiently reasonable. Heretofore, the per diem has been seren dollars per day, when the Republicans were in the ascendency ; and fit dollars per day when the Democrats controlled the Legislature. Both parties have been in the habit of taking mileage at the rate of (treaty eenU Besides, the Legislature generally wasted two or three weeks of each session in discussing how much the per diem and mileage should be, the result of this protracted discussion usually, being, that the highest rate was finally fixed upon, bixty days is ample time in which to transact all the necessary business of the Legis lature. A great deal of private legislation will of course have to be dis pensed with; but this will be a positive gain to the people in the way of taxes, of many thous ands of dollars, as the cost of printing the laws will be greatly diminished it ;. w tiraated that this amendment alone together with the one changing the time of meeting of me ueneral Assembly from November to Jan uary will effect an annual saving of about thirty thousand dollars. Of the eight amendments just consider,! onlyour are real alterations of the Constitu tion; the other four merely striking out obsolete matter. And the whole eight are so appro- if ll A 1 a . priM?, mat no objections have ever been urged against them. JOHN S. HENDERSON. Chaklestox, 8.
