A I'ltlMAKVKI.ECTION.
A Proposition to Change Our System of
liiiiiittin; t'aiKlHlatfH. A Sit ) in
tlto Right IMr.clion.
The Democratic executive com -
' mittee of New Hanover county wil!
j meet at 12 o'clock to-morrow at the
court house to fix a date for holding
the ward and precinct meetings for
. 1 1-1 .11
1 uie purpose 01 electing delegates to
thf, county convention which in turn
will nominate county officers and
.... ., . ,
; ueiegaies 10 me senatorial ana v-on-
gress-ional conventions.
t Heretofore delegates to a county
convention have been selected in
the subsequent general election. The
Messenger has more than once ad
vocated a change iroin the conven
tion system to the primary election
plan that prevails in many States. In
Virginia and South Carolina the
Demociats have held primary elec
tions for years, and in- our sister
Carolina they have been so satisfac
tory in expressing the will of the par
ty that they have, not only been made
use of in nominating candidates for
all county offices but for nominating
a Governor, Congressmen, and
United States Senators.
In North Carolina, there are some
counties that have primary elections
and the party is so highly .pleased
with the results that they would not
think of going back to the old con
vention plan. When a primary elec
tion is held, any Democrat who corn
plies' with the conditions can an
nounce himself,' or his friends can an
nounce him, and the members of the
party simply go to the polls and ex
press their will. A primary election
putsithe matter in the hands of the
people,- and it does away with the
"cut and dried" racket usually
playied in the primary meetings and
conventions. . "
Everybody is aware that there are
serious differences in the party here,
and in order to give the people a
chance to sav for themselves who
their candidates shall be, it will - be
recommended to the executive" com
mittee that the primary election plan
be adopted. We understand that
pait of the committee favor the plan
and that it is probable that the whole
committee will approve of it.
The idea is not to elect delegates
to the county convention but to do
away entirely with both the so called
primary meetings a convention, and
instead to open polls for one day -so
Democrats can turn out and express
their own will by their votes. The
nominations thus made will be direct
Irom the people,, and will be fair to
all who would like to test their popu
larity at the polls with the people.
It is claimed that the primaries as
-formerly held never expressed, the
real sentiments of the voters, but on
the contrary were only assembled to
ratify the action of a very lew who
had the pull over the wards or town
ships. We repeat that a primary election
is the thing the party wants, and
among the reasons to be urged it will
give those who are summering at the
seaside an opportunity to also take a
hand in the voting, whereas when
they leave town at night they cannot
attend the old plan primary meet-
Let the committee think well over
this matter. Wilmington Messenger.

In the IJour.e is Tucker's Joint Kesolntlon
fiop.osinjj an Amendment to tho
C onstltntlon Providing for Oio
' Election of Seiuitorj.
Washington, July a. It was the in
tention of the democratic steering com
mittee of the senate , to have . held a
meeting Friday afternoon after ad
journment to consider the order of bus-
ines that should be pcrsued now that j
the tariff bill is out of-the way. In
the hurry of senators to get away for a
few days to the seashore or come other
breathing placa where cooler weather
can be obtained, the plan failed and no
agreement as to what shall be done has
been reached.
It is generally understood, however,
that appropriation bills will be called
up and Mr. Coekrell has been busy get-
tins as many in shane as nossible so
that the work can be occupied in thcL? '
diseussion. Sub-eommittee:i were at;
work on July 4th and every day during i
the week. The legislative bill will be re- j
ported today. There will then only rc- j
main besides the district of Columbia '
bill the sundry civil and the Indian and !
deSciency bills to be reported. The
pension bill .will be called up today and J
it is likely that a number of political
speeches will be made on this bill, Mr.
Cullom starting the ball to rolling.
The Chinese Treaty.
Mi Morgan, chairman of tho com
mittee on foreign relations, will en
deavor to have the afternoon of today
or tomorrow set apart for the consideration-of
the Chinese treaty which lias
been pending in the senate for the past
three months and which was laid aside
to make way for the unrestricted cpnsid
ation of the tariff bill. It is probable,
owing to the opposition from the sena
tors on the Pacific coast, that the dis
cussion of this question may consume
more than one day.
The finance committee will not take
any action on the many bills that have
been referred to it, but its Whole time
will be devoted to the. consideration of
the tariff in conference. The first
meeting of the conferees will be 'held
this morning at 10 o'clock in the room
of the committee on finance of the sen
ate. There is a desire, coupled with a
strong hope, on the part of the demo- !
cratic managers that the points upon.
which the two houses disagree may be ;
settled speedily and the bill be sent to!
the presMent for his signature before ;
the 1st of next month, but republicans !
say that this is impossible. j
District Day In the House.
Under the rules of the house, the so-
cond and fourth Monday of every
month are devoted to the interests of I
tde District of Columbia, and as the dis
trict has lost its day twice recently, ow
ing to unexpected adjournments. Chair
man Heard will doubtless insist that
today be given over to the considera
tion of measures reported from his com
mittee. -
A meeting of tho committee on rales
Is expected to be held this afternoon or
tomorrow morning, at which an order
of business for the rest of the week will
doubtless be Mr. Tucker's joint resolu
tion proposing an amendment to tho
constitution providing for the election
of Senators by a direct vote of the peo
ple of the states. Several other bills
will probably be included within the
orderT but it is uncertain what they are.
Strong" pressure is being brought to
bear for an early consideration of the
bill to amend the interstate commerce
act so as to permit pooling arrange
ments to be made by the railroads" un- j
der regulations to be approved by the
commission and it stands a fair show of j
getting a place. . j
"The Morninz Hoar" On.
The return to the consideration of
measures called up by committees in i
what is known as ''the morning hour,"
tends to greatly facilitate the disposal
of bills in the house. . Several rather :
important measures were thus passed
last week and the number will be
increased this week. The selection of
bills thus favored are generally made
by the chairman, except in ease'v where
the committee ha previously instruct
ed him to act. and it is practically im
possible to forecast them.

Baltimohk, July 0. The threatened

Pullman boycott has not been ordered j
as yet, mainly because James Russell. 1
the secretary of the American railway
union here, would not follow President I
Debs' instructions. Russell received a '
telegram Saturday night from Debs1
ordering their men to stop work, with
a view to crippling the eastern divi
sions of the Paltimore and Ohio and

sell said the organization was not;
strong enough in these parts to warrant
the promulgation of such an order un-
less they were to be supported by the
other labor organizations.' Of this he

Something Curious.
. By a very simple rule the duration
of night and day .can be- determined
at any time of the' year.. All you
have to do is to multiply the time of
the sun's rising by two and it' will
give you the length of the night.
Multiply the time of setting by two
and you get the length, of the day.
It is easily demonstrated at the time
of the year when the sun rises and
sets at 6 o'clock and day and night
are of equal duration. It is just as
true as the days lengthen and short
en. Thus, as winter approaches, take
a day when the sun rises at 6:30 and
sets at 5:30. Apply the rule and you
have a night of 13 hours and a. day
ol 11 hours. The rule will be found
absolutely accurate at any time of the
year. Winston Sentinel.

What the Smith Fought lift.
The Harrisonburg Spirit of the
Valley addresses itself to the Dis
patch as follows y
"The Richmond Dispatch of the
17th instant begins by asserting that
slavery was not what those who tried
to overturn fhfc government in 1S61
65 fought for, but immediately goes
orl to try to prove that slaves were
recognized as property, and that,
therefore, the people of the South
had a right to take their slaves into
any of the territory belonging to the
United States Government. If slav-
ery, or ine rig in to extend the sys
tern of slavery was not what the 1
South fought for, then we would be
pleased if the Dispatch will kindly
mforin us what was the issue or is-!
sues between the government and j
those who sought to subveit it." j
Thatr the people of the South did
not fight for slavery is proved be- j
yond a question by the fact that the
Republican National Convention Of 1
1S60 gave to the Southern people
the most solemn assarances that the
institution of slavery was not to be
interfered with in any way if the Re
publican nominee (Mr.' Lincoln)
should be elected President of the
United States. The northern people
received the same sort of assurances
from Mr. Lincoln himself, whose con
science was greatly troubled when he
was compelled, as he felt he was, to i
emancipate the slaves in the South. ;
He justified emancipation only as a
war measure.
What, then, did the Southern peo
ple fight for ? They fought for t'ne
right to secede from the Union. They
denied the power of the Federal
Government to compel them to stay
in the Union. They fought, there
fore, for the rights of the States as
against the usurpations of the Feder
al Government. They fought for the
maintenance of that theory of the
duel nature of our government which
was held by the founders of the re
public. They failed and their. cause
went down, not because it was not a
just cause, but because the heaviest
battalions were on the side of the
men who "dispensed with" tlie form
of government which Jefferson, Mad
ison, and their associates thought
they had established.
The southern people did not fight
to "overturn" the Federal Govern
ment, but were all the time willing
for the Northern States to stay in the
Union. The North fought to over
turn Southern State governments.
The South fought to give to the
northern and southern people the
same rights. Richmond Dispatch.
