BEBNABD. WILMINGTON, N. C. : Saturday Morning, May 4, 1878. THE "PLEDGING" AGAIN. BUSINESS I The Stab, in what it Las had to say with reference to . "pledging candi dates," has not been actuated! by any improper motive.; : The Stab, at least, is not unledped" to the advoca cy of any person : for the U. S. Sena- torsmp. Its nlej3 snow that A stood by Gov. Vance in 1872, who was the regular nominee of the party, land it has taken no position in favor ot him or any one else for the place now so ably filled by Senator Merrimpn. It is the advocate of no man for lace. It is the organ of no man. It advo cates such measures and principles as it believes- to be sound and : prpper. It is not opposing Gov. Vance n dr ad vocaling Senator Merrimon's claims in anything it has said about "pledg ing candidates." I We speak for ourselves in this mat ter, and when the Wadesboro Herald says that the opposition to the"pledg ing" of Legislators "comes from men whose proclivities and preferences are pretty well defined and known,"it Ian not apply to the Stab, for we venture that no paper in the State knows what are the "proclivities anct preferences" of the members' of the Stab's editorial stafE in regard to the Senatorial con test.1 The Stab expresses no opinion about the matter either way. " . That there is no personal leaniaig necessarily in the discussion concern ing the pledging of candidates,may be seen from the past history of the vi rions papers that have had something to say about it. The Stab, as we have said, stood squarely by Gov. Vance in 1872, and it has said nothing in oppol sition to him since. Why, then, should any one suppose that , it was advoca- ting Merrimon's re-election because i openly opposed the habit of pledging Legislative -candidates, and thus pre judging the whple contest. . . . Does any one suppose that the able! editor of the Hillsboro Recorder is al Merrimon man because he takes thel following wise and statesmanlike view! of the situation?- He says:'- "It is the duty of the Legislature to electf its Rfinators. not the riffht of thn nnnlo It is not right, honest or politic to impose1 upon the people the burden of a contest when the . laws have designated another. theatre for its decision; and it is a needless,: needless ana wanton exacerDauon ot part; i feeling to transfer the Conflict from its lim-i ited and legitimate arena to the stupendous! iorum or tne wnoie state, j iiet tne succes-1 sion to the Senate be settled iu Raleigh, 15 where it belongs, and relieye the people of ! the re8ponsiDimy over-esger men Kare trysg v uuvn uvu kucui r :i . "Nothing should be done to imperil the!' majority in the coming Legislature. It is1 quite as important as it has been in the past' to retain the , ability to adopt additional! amendments to the Constitution. Some are" imperatively, needed, ' and will be insisted;! on and adopted if the power to add them isl not neecuessiy tnrown away. . .. . j The people and the politicians too, will ' be wise if they keep their minds feed upon! that fact ; therefore let them exact do pre mature pledge having only the adjustment of individual "aspirations ? for their falfiI4l ment. If these be; a bar to party- harmony or to State welfare, brash them remorse- lessly; aside. No individqal is of such conl sequence as to compel the sacrifice of the . welfare ot interests of the sgreat body of the people. Leave your candidates free in that regard, only reanirinz from thfim thi they Bhall.be true to their party, true to the principles embodied in its structure, and men ' of such persoual character as will bring no discredit upou their position; and requiring this much, is requiring ; all that can be legitimately exacted." . These be wise, just, broad viowf, such as will commend . themselves to four-fifths of the voters of North Carolina, we caunut doubt. -.We be lieve the Recorder . favors Gov. Vance's election to the Senate, but it wisely rises above ''the aspirations or hopes of auy one individual in considering the great needs of a whole State, and the harmony and success of a great party. " , , -The Hera Wad raits that the oppo sition ia ! placed "on high : moral grounds," and indicates that "the system" of pledging Legislative can didates "may, in the abstract, be wrong." We are glad it concedes so much. This should ' shield' those who differ from it from any imputa--tion that they are actuated by fa voritism in what they have said; We have said so much becanse we did not desire to be misunderstood. ' Since we wrote the above we have received the last number of the Tar boro. Southerner. Our friend differs from the Stab and other papers as it has a right to do. He believes it is all right to instiuct the Legislative candidates, and propounds certain questions for ns to answer. We have given heretofore the reasons why we object to the people instructing their members how. to vote for Senator. In our leader of the 30th ult. we set -forth briefly our view of the differ ence between the Senator and the Representative.. That editorial an ticipates some of the questions asked. It is clear to our mind that the fram ers of the Constitution intended that the responsibilities of Senators and Representatives should be different. It provides that the Senator shall be chosen by the . legislature of the State, and the member of the -House shall be chosen by the people. We believe that it ! was intended that the Senator should directly represent the State, whilst the mem ber of the House should directly , re present the peoplef The former must be thirty years of age, and is elected for six years; the other must be twenty-five years of age, and is elected but for two years.' Being the pecu liar exponent and representative of the people directly, it is necessary that the Representative should go every two years before them to as certain their wishes and receive their instructions. We do not think it wonld be right for the people to in- struct the Senator, or. for the Legis lature to instruct the Representative. Each ; has a different constituency. The Senator is responsible to the Le gislature; the : Representative is re sponsible to his constituents the people. Each should respect the rights of the other.: . If the electors are the -same for the Senate and the House, why have two bodies ? Where . is the : necessity where are the checks? If both have the same constituency how is it the Senator stands :, so much higher than the Representative ? Neither the age nor term of office could give the dig nity ? Whence comes then the supe riority of the Senator if it is not that he : stands in the Congress of the Union as the special representative of a great and sovereign Common-. wealth? . . - As to Senator Lamar, to whom pur friend refers, we take it that the Legislature of " Mississippi a was the only body that had a right to in struct him. He represented the sov ereignty of his State in the Senate. Under the Constitution of the United States the Legislators are the electors of Senators. . It; is their duty and privilege and right to instruct them when they regard it necessary. The people, of ... each , Congressional . dis trict . could -I properly : instruct- their chosen Representative. r Such is our view. ; Breakdown the barrier thai exists, and you l soon make both Houses of equal dignity, and, having the same precise constituency, one of them becomes practically unneces sary. . . "In our issue of the 27th of September we took strong grounds : for ihe MoJf ett bell punch law. After giving an account of the instrument and effects, we said, &c." Hen dersonviUe Courier. In the Mokning Stab of September 20th, 1877, there is a somewhat long editorial, on the Virginia bell-punch aw, at the' close or which distinct fe- fefence is made to its being adopted in North Carolina, and the good ef fects thai would follow therefrom. Several months before this, whilst the bill was pending before the Virginia Legislature, we expressed ourselves as much pleased witn the features of the bill, and. .ventured to : prophesy the grand jresultSf that .would, follow if ithe brilfpassed faithfully executed. We said that Moffett deserved a monument. It is more than a year since we first fa-.j vored it as a "new way to pay old debts'!. tid a "new way . to raise the nnapcial wind.'; It is not a matter of the slightest importance who fa vored, it. first. It is a vgood gibing; and when'oarried out in' good faith will be of great Hervice to any people. We may mention iiVthis.connect.ion that the GovernorOf Louisiana has signed the-bill' establishing the Mbf-' felt bell punch in' that StaleWhilst it is in the.main like the Virginia law, it yet differs in some particular The tax is lower: than in Virginia.5, lt'is one-quarter of one cent on each (ive cents worth of liquor retailed., Whe regist-er is furnished .at $8, which sum is deposited by the dealer. Whence returns the register he ' receives his $8, with fiye per cent. " interest. He must notify the inspector , if it gets out ef order, . The, register, . is in spected ouce every month.' The bell must be struck 5 once for : every five cents sold, and in the presence of the customer. - The penalty for retailing without a register is a fine uot exceeding $500, or imprisonment.. not exceeding sir months, either or both, at the - discre tion of the Court. A failure to pay the tax found duo. each' . mouth is punished by levy and sale of property of the dealer and - forfeiture of the boud which he is-required to give on taking out a liquor license. A fail ure to use the register is punished, for the first offense, by a fine of $100 (one third of which goes to the in former), and for; the second by a for feiture of the dealer's license for one year. The punishment for injuring or destroying the register, or making it indicate less than it- should indi cate, is a fine of not more than $100 (one-third of which goes to the n- f ormer),and imprisonment not exceed ing twelve months, in the .discretion of the Court. It will be more difficult to violate this law than the Virginian law. As the tax is low and made ad valorem. it cannot be justly complained of. It is thought that it will produce a large revenue small as the tax is. As we have before said, the value and ex pediency of the register are well es tablished; the point now is to get the law efficiently operated. Faith fully executed the Louisiana law will raise probably half milliou dollars ' In England all dogs are taxed with one class of exceptions. Those ex clusively employed in leading bliud men are tax free. We hope our Le gislators will make a similar excep tion, but to tax all others. : THE PEBIODICALI.
