Referring to the meetiDg lately held at Hillsboro in regard to prima- t-: 4t. rr:ntxU- said: ' ; " " " - ' : "Elsewhere -will be found the proceed ings of one of those meetings in which Orange of late years has been prolific, but of whieh-the general public seem some what ignorant Certainly, the proceeding or tne meeting referred to will be some-, what of sl snrnriscL when the trr&vitv of its propositions issontrasled with its Infor- mality. Held at' a street corner, it was public enough, bat, its a public meeting to deliberate on a serious subject, it attracted about the same attention as Congleton's oat cry of his patent medicines, made a few feet distant It meant nothing but the ex- - nrfiOQiAti ft fit A wiDrina anil nnviwuiAa sia man, prepared by him, engineered by him, and its whole aim and object for his sole behoof and benefit. . "Admitting that the true expression of the wishes of the people of this county-has been smothered by the secret influences of packed conventions, Josiah Turner is the last man to find fault with the system. No man in this county .has been more active, more adroit, and for the time, more suc cessful in packing conventions; and we may add, no man has been more in&tru- . pule." In our remarks upon tbe primary election question we did not purpose championing Mr. Turner's claims or gratifying any disappointed feelings that he might cherish. In common with thousands of our fellow-citizens we are not forgetful of the great ser vices he rendered ; to ; ,the people . ot JNortn Carolina at a time wnen many men who are extreme now were s, supposed to be very "fishy." . We do 5 not forget, nor have the people for- .; gotten, the days of 1868,-'69 and '70, ! when crime and ' rascality . were at a heavy premium in North Carolina, and when the Democratic party was seemingly down forever, in a hopeless minority. Mn Turner was a power in the land in those days that tried ihfi fidelitv" nnrl nnnnrlnpRR nf men's principles. But, as we said, the Stab - is not the organ of a man or a set Of men. -'It is consistent with its policy when it advocates no man's claims for nomination to office. But for the fant that, w ft r.nnld tint. Aev an wxihnht w hww w vv svuvjay vitiating our own. principle of actiobj we should have had before this some earnest words to say in behalf of two or three gentlemen for the' high and responsible position of Supreme Court . J udge. y We are not unmindful of the 'gifts and eloquence of a distinguished gentleman of this city, whose eleva tion to the bench would be exceed ingly grateful to many of ur citi zens and to gentlemen of intelligence , and , influence in many . sections of North Carolina. When a candidate of our party is in the field, then the r Star has. been ; accustomedi.to give , him a sincere -and earpest support." " Before Vo'mination 'bnr course has - been to remain silent with' reference to individual claims.' . . ' ' J ' - - But iot return from this digression to the primary meetings. - Independ ent i?f , r- TPerr-ignoring alto-" getherhis claims oir his grievances. we are of the opinipnj that a change is needed in bur system of nomina tions, , It has proved very imperfeci, very unsatisfactory to that large class of responsible, quiet, moral citi zens who have ? no taste forelitioal caueussing, and no fdclinadonto en gage in the , exciting and vsomtirnes disreputable wrangling of wara meetings Jtndtnshippdcountj conventions.' The, old. fashioned cut and dried style is simply 4r nuisance, andthe "eenllmetnrof "rtre feeTJptr TO rarely been expressed in the meetings that have done:Jthe nominating. i We are in " favor of a change, aijd the best substitute we ;know is the primary election scheme 1 that will work satisfactorily," as' we believie. It is worth trying," and we are inclined, to think -r that ahe s people will soon take an interest in pri mary t electtoiR. f rNo one can sy they will not work well until they have been fairly tried. They hae done well elsewhere, why : not in North Carolina ? Wo believe the old caucus system is anti Democratic, anti-Republican. ' It is not conducive to political health, and antagonizes with the genius of our, free, institu tions. That they have been tolerated and used only shows, the uncommon elasticity of Republican institutions, and how -readily a free people, cin adopt a system that should find no part or lot in a Republic like ou(s. The bid convention plan has been forked by a few men generally who live by politics. Tho masses have been simply used. Tbey bavequietjy submitted to the hectoring and ma nipulating of a few dexterous pariy managers. We are for a change. These are our views, whether they are accepted or not. We do not' care to force them upon any one. " We be lieve in time the old system will - be discarded. Whether or not the pri mary election system will be ever adopted in North Carolina is more than we can undertake to say. Near ly all of the papers in the State that have spoken of the matter have pooh- poohed it as nonsense or something else equally far from the point. But the true and the right will triumph in the end, and then we shall know what is the true and what is the right. We think the question; should be judged upon its merits. It should not be destroyed because of the un popularity of its advocate. If- a good thing then it should be approved and adopted, v If Gov. Graham were liv ing to-day, and he wei e' to advocate the system, we believe he would be encouraged by half of the State press. It will not do to say that he would never have advocated so unwisaja plan, for we know that men of the highest character, socially, intellect ually and morally, in other States are its friends. All the political wisdom on this Continent i happily not con fined to North Carolina. SACK. CHAHDLEK ON BEFOBH. ' Everybody who reads newspapers knows; somethrngV about old Zack Chandler, the irrepressible 'and - truc ulent Radical bull dozer from Mic$i gan. Well, old. Zack has been giving his views about civil service reform. It would be supposed from bis known hostility to the present Ad ministration, because of its. willing ness to act under the Constitution in stead of above and beyond it, as Grant did, that he would be down on all attempts to reform the civil sir vice. His views, however, are not ks variant from those of the President as was to have been expected. He says, for instance: j What his' hearers wanted, what the country' wanted, what the citizens of fell governments wanted, was common sense. I and plenty of it. What did men do in ffie management of their own busibeasf jlf iucy iuuuu ou luvuuijrausut uiau uiey . uis charged him and put a competent men in his place; if they found a lazy manibjey uiscnargea mm ana put an inaasinaas man in his place; if they found a dishonest man they discharged him and put an honest man in his place. And when they found thjcy had a good man, a competent man in their employ, they ' promoted him whether pe was in a government office or on a farm. What was wanted was business capacity" Now, tha is- indeed sensible arid practical. It reads Very much like some of the utterances of Mr. Hayls. At any - rate, if the Administration will only retain or appoint to office men of "common sense"- "competent men" "industrious men" hbnejst men" "good men" men of .busi ness capacity", the country will be fully satisfied. The .old standard pf requirement in the days of genuine statesmanship, was, ."Is he honest, hs he capable?

Tennessee, an bid personal friend. Botetourt county, Virginia, secured $1,021 by tho dog tax; . . We copy the success of the Virginia experiment n those counties 'that applied for the privilege of levying the ' tax, that bur people! may be qncouraged to de mand of our next Legislature a gene ral dog "tax. The Richmond Dis patch' B&ja: i -"Tlie'axing.ot' dogsis plainly a very much, neglected resource. Those cou n lies which have been authorized to tax dogs have raised much money by tbe tax, and have certainly done much for the protec tion of sheep. Where the tax exists the sheep that are killed are paid for by the tax, and the remaining revenuefrom this source is devoted to other purposes. While we are looking about for means to preserve the State solvency and lift her out of debt, this dog tax is: a most efficient means. If tbe Legislature only had courage to impose this tax it would help the State mightily." The: people in some of the counties were ahead of their neighbors in this matter, 'and applied of their, own voli tion for the privile to Iry a tax. We believe only a ?pties were wise enough to do this. ' From their success it is apparent that over $200, 000 ca e raised by this means. It will be remembered that Bedford sc cured lsome $2,400 by this means. THE PERIODICALS. Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for De cember is out early.

His speech is re plete with sound views, with good council, and with a pervading friend-' ly spirit, whose sincerity cannot for a moment be questioned; but there is nothing supercilious in their ex pression.'; So Jar from it, those .who read the harmonious and sensible periods of President Hayes must feel encouraged by the conviction that we have here, at last, a man wljo knows how to show his interest and his regard for Virginia and the South without any phariseeism in tone or language As for the. matter of the President's speech, it could not have easily leen selected With better reference to the best practical inter est of the State. Politics entered very slightly into it. Its main bur den was the advantages of the State as a home for emigrants from the North and the old world.

In our own State are men who are now in the enjoyment of the fruits of crimes that bankrupted the Slate, and impoverished the people. Now let justice be done. South Carolina and Louisiana have set an example we should imitate. weiaon JSews. t The colored Convention which assembled in Ualeigh recently for the ostensible pur pose of promoting the educational . interest of tbe colored people seems to have fallen under the influence and control ot schem ing and' selfish politicians. Among other acts tending to show the animus of this meelintdwasa resolution refusing to en dorse the efforts of the administration and tbe press of the State, which have done so much to advance the cause . ol education among the colored race. It is true there were some who had the honesty and grati tude to acknowledge their indebtedness fpr the great benefit conferred upon their race. but tbe majority .over-ruled them and this Convention, purporting to represent, the. best interest of the negro population in the State, stands before the world guilty of the basest ingratitude. T. It was as little asthese would be leaders could have done, to have acknowledged their appreciation of, and thanks for tho benefit extended to them by the Democratic party ot North Carolina. Such an act would have been creditable to them and shown that they were actuated by an honest purpose to improve and ele vate the condition of their race. But they thought more of Radicalism than they did of. the negro, and showed more readiness to elevate party than they did to elevate themselves. Wilson Advance. .. j- rOLITICAL POINTS.
