A Republican delegation from North Carolina, headed by Col. Douglass, LT.IS. Marshal, visited the President to-day. The Democratic National Executive Committee meet at WillardV Hotel, February 22d, to arrange the time and place of holding the Convention. jThe Centennial bill is said to be gainingground rapidly. Several prom inent Southern men take i a decided stand for it. Among them is Senator Gordon; of Georgia. He agrees with Senator Bayard that it is both constitu tional and sanctioned by numberless precedents. He is heard to have express ed himself very freely, and isearnestl forthe billon the followihcr crrounds: Bft, that no section is so deeply iutercs- tou m me proper ceieorauon ana re-establishment of the principles of 1776 atitl in the restoration of good wHl in the coantryas the South ; second, that the proposed appropriation would ' cost only about 3 cento per capita iri the United States ; . third, ..' that: Pennsyl vania has paid four and a half millions of the five millions already expended, abdtfiat it would be unjust to make tliat State pay more, whereas the ap propriation by Congress would per fect the national character of the cel ebration; fourth, that foreign nations iijive uixepHpu toe ipvitaiion to come, and the rennfalion nf tlieoovprnmon't Iq j involved in perfecting the arrange- t l .

The General Assembly shall haVe full power by statute to mod if v, change or abrogate any and all of the provisions of this Article, and substitute others in their place, except sections Beven, nine and thir teen. This amendment confers upon the Legisla ture full power to repeal, by ordinary statute law, the whole of this article except three sec tions, to wit : 1 Section 7 forbids any city, town, or other municipal corporation from contracting any debt, pledging its faith, or loaning its cred it, for any object whatever, except or ntectsary expenses unless a majority of all the legal voters of such County, City, Town or Municipal Corpor ation sfiall assent teethe same by toting therefor at some special election held for that purpose. This section also forbids any tax to be levied or col lected by the officers of these Corporations, for any other purpose except necessary expen ses, unless by a vote of a majority of all the qualified yoters therein. 2. Section 9 requires all taxes, levied by any County, City, Town or Township, to be uniform and ad valorem (i. e. according to the real value of the property taxed.) 3 -Section 13 prohibits any County, City, Town or other Municipal corporation, from assuming or paying or levying or collecting any tax to pay any debt, or theinterest upon any debt, contract etT directly or ' indirectly in kid or support of the late war between the Uni ted States and the Confederate States. The amendment does not authorize the Gen eral Assembly to' interfere, in any manner, with either of these sections. The principal objections, which are being urged against the proposed new section, are as follows: Obj. 1, It will give the Legislature power to abolish the present system of County . Gov ernment, and to substitute another system in its stead without reference to the wishes ot the people in the'matter and, the. Legislature may, If U choses, fill all the County offices with its own appointees. ( i Answer. The Legislature may continue the provisions of tlila Article as they noware or it may make such changes, as the public inter ests may requu. It will certainly abolish a great many useless and expensive offices. The Legislature had the same power under unr Pjd Constitution; and the same power is now exer cised, J believe, by the Legislative Branch, n a majority of the States of the Union. There j through 'Congress ftt the present SCS is no danger of tlie people of & "West lou3 ioa, r their right to vote Cor the selection of their own County officers. But even if the Legisla ture shall take into its owu hands (for the pur pose of relieving the people of the East from negro misrule) the entire management of our County affairs I believe our people for the end in view will be willing to make the sacri fice. The people may rest assured, however, that the Legislature will not establish any new system of County Government, which will not meet with the approval of a majority of the voters of the whole State.- Each County . will instruct its representatives what to do. Obi. 2. The Legislature will have the power to appoint the Justices of the Peace, as in old times. - Ans. This is true but the Legislature will not take the appointment of J ustiees into its own hands, unless the people first consent to the change. Obj. 3. The Legislature will have the power "to establish one system of County Govern ment in one County, and another in another as the exigencies of party or personal interests may dictate to the changeful mind of a modern legislature' Ans. The Legislature tci have such power by this amendment and will be justified in exercising it for the protection of the down trodden people of the East if no other, mode shall present itself of "opening a door of escape to the latter from negro despotism and misrule. without injury to the people of the West." Obj. 4. Hie Legislature may, if it pleases, abolish the Township system. Ans. The Townships, as they at present exist, are self-governing municipalities and Corporations, with unlimited powers of taxa tion. As mere territorial districts and voting precincts, they are perfectly, harmless. But! they ought not to have any powers of taxation. The people are taxed enough already and if the Amendments are ratified there will never be another Township tax levied pr collected. I venture to say, that there, ranf-scarcely be found in the whole State a man, who is in fa vor of the Township system just as it stands in the present Constitution, that is not also direct ly interested in the perpetuation of the system, either as an office-holder, or ffni some other selfish motive. It will be observed that sections, 3, 4. 10 and ll of this Article are virtually obsolete; having already accomplished the purpose of their adoption. JOHN S. IIENDEBSON. CONGRESS. Jan'v. 18. In the Senate, Thurman presented the credentials of J.as. B Lustis, claiming a sc.it as benator irom Louisiana, and asked that they be referred to the committee on Privilege and Elections. After some discussion, the matter was laid over till to-morrow. Banks' amnesty bill excepts Mr. Davis, though Banks himself, will vote to strike the exception out. The. theory is that the bill cannot pass unless the Republicans are allowed to record themselves on the subject, but that the bill will pass after the excep tion is stricken out. It cannot pasi with the restriction. It is the only means of se curing two-thirds for a clean amnesty. N Mr. Waddeirof N. C, made a speech in favor of an appropriation for the Centennial Exhibition. The Judiciary Committee reported an a- inendnient to the Constitution limiting the Presidential term to tour years. CINCINNATI AND WTHO ? The Republican National Commit tee, says the N. Y." Sun. after many indeterminate balloting, finally fixed upon Cincinnati as the place, and the fourteenth day of June next as the time, for holding the. Repuclican Na tional Convention to nominate cani dates for President and Vice-President of the United States. ''- The New York Times, the great journal of the party, in announcing the fact, stigmatizes the place selected as "Porkopolis, though it magnani mously refrains from any remarks about trichina?. In the debates.upon the selection of a place a great dear was said about getting railroad tickets at half price, the speakers evidently being forgetful of the fact that they will all be dead heads, after the election. No compliment was paid to Presi dent Grant they were not the men to worsnip tne setting sun out on the other hand, the call issued says nothing to those opposed to a third term. A new movement has been started in Congress to bring in . the rotten borough of New Mexico, with its mon grel population, as a State in the Un ion. The facts concerning that Ter ritory have been systematically mis represented, both in regard . to the quantity and quality of population resources, and everything else which affects the question of admission. The whole Territorial Government is ab solutely controlled by a Ring, of which S. B. Elkins, the present Delegate in Congress, is the head and front. That Ring notoriously runs the courts, hucksters what is miscalled justicr, handles all the appropriations, and in a word governs the Territory as a per sonal property. This is done through favoritism at Washington. The peo ple have protested in vain against this corrupt dominiation, and when they rose up at the last Territorial election and defeated Elkins, they were fraud ulently counted out by his tools. It is proposed, without a color of reason; to convert this worthless Ter ritory into a State, in order to place the chiefs, of this Ring of plunderers in the Senate. By that means patron age would be multiplied for their prof it, and the recent history of rascality in South Carolina, Mississippi, Louis ina, Arkansas, Alabama, and Florida would be repeated in another form. The engineer of this scheme is Elkixs, who last year married tho'daughter of Senator Davis of West Virginia. It is hoped that through this combina tion of a Republican of the Grant stripe on the side of the House, and a Democrat on the other; the project may1 by .artful ' manipulation be carried Manv of' the Northern Democratic jonruala lear that Mr. Hill suffered him self touall wtora-tmp;e lOTuim uy Blaine to bring out in full the real feel ings of the: South towards tue govern menf," and thereby 3o damage fb lhe Democrat ie puity. We will uot aiscuss the question of imprudence hn hc part of Mr. Hill or the success i the calculating aild lUailCIOUS dinning m; mr. uiaino. Certain - it r-frr-that after Mr; JJIaine'a un generous assault upon Mjr. Davis, and upon' 'the S6th it was impossible for Southern members5 to quietly accept statements which reflected io terribly up on their former chieftain and suffer him to bear alone the responsibility which ought to have been equally? shared. Nor was it, possible for boutuen meu to ac cept without denial the codjplacent asser tions or .Northern humaniiy, or near un moved the i?xa?rerated statement of Southern barbarities. The discussion was not sought by tbe Democratic aide. There, was no reason whyjMr. Randall'i? bill ehould have been clogged with an amendment which provoked acrimonious discussion, because there was no eincenty in the exception of tbe name of Mr. Davis from the terms of Universal am nesty. Mr. Blaine himself had supported a previous bill which made no exceptions It is a cruel use politicians make of their talents, their powers and iheir influence, to play upon popular feeling for their ius dividual advantage. air. Diaine, as a simple member of Congress, might gladly have encouraged the growth of the better leeling which was bringing back the country to its old unity of spirit. As a candidate tor the Presidency, he ouly regards what will but advance his fort unes. Ilaleigh Neics. THE WHISKEY FRAUDS. Washington, Jan. 16. So many of the officials engnged iu the Whiskey Biug prosecutions are at present in Washing ton that very naturally considerable in tcrest and curiosity are excited. Very little actual iuformation, however, can be obtained from them. Notwithstanding General Rjbcock's protestations of inno t i cence, tne prosecution say they have a very strong e.iee against him, and strong testimony must be presented to clear away the damaging testimony secured by the United Slates attorneys. ExUhief Clerk Avery still says that he will ap ply for a new trial, but a gentleman who knows all of the testimony against Bah cock, states that when -that gentleman trial occurs and some of the Government's witnesses are sworn Avery will be quile contented that he cseaped as easily as he did, and will never ask for a new trial. Bluford Wilson, Solicitor jof the Treasury, declines to express an opinion on General Babcock's guilt or innocence, but denies that - .ny ill-feeling exists between him self and the Private Secretary. Washing ton is filled with spies of the Government and tho whiskey ring, both on the alert to discover whatever new movps the other is making. Several cf the whiskey ring spies have endeavored to obtain em ployment iu the Treasury Department for iho sole purpose of observing and re porting the movements of l h;? Govern ment in tho prosecution. Fortunately Secretary Bi it-tow has thus fur, aided by fiiemV, been able to keep these Fpies and eavesdropp'M-s out of the department. Within the past wpek a celebrated character io the whiskey frauds has made his appearance in Washington. He is an ex ganger n.Mued Everest of St. Louis. Everest was tho middleman or agent be tween Joyce and the "old man in the way," or "gentleman in the country." When the frauds were first exposed, it is said that Everest, who had recently married, took unto himself of the profits of the "crooked," and with his wife went abroad. They stopped in Rome, Italy. Everest is a man whb knows all about the transactions which took place in the manufacture of illicit whiskey and the parties interested, and ; the Gvoernment hearing of his whereabouts, sent an agent to Rome with authority to inform Ever est that if he would return to this country aud testify to all he knows in regard t the ring transactions, immunity from punishment would be granted him. Ev erest accepted this offer, and hence his presence in Washington. General Bab cock will be well defended. His counsel are ex-Judge Krum, of St. Louis, and John K. Porter, of New York, and he is assisted in preparing his case by John Rnssell Jones, lhe late Minister to BeU gium, a personal friend of Mr. Babcock's. District-Attorney Dyer, his assistant, and Mr. Bliss, of St. Louis,; are still here ar ranging for General Babcock's trial. Supervisor Myer, of St. Louis, who has also been here co-operating with the Treasury officials in the same direction, has iust re'.urned to St. Louis. The Southern Planter and Farmer.
