The Morning Star. By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Evening, March 17, 1882. EVENING EDITION. A PROPOSED CONVENTION. The Democrats of Halifax county will hold a meeting on the 20th inst. to appoint delegates to meet dele gates from other nesrro counties in convention. The object is to confer concerning certain changes proposed in the county government law. This we learn from the Weldon News of the 10th inst. That paper says: ' 'la view of this it is proposed to have a meeting of delegates from those counties which are affected, to adopt some plan by which the proposed change may be defeat ed, or at least to show to the people of the State the importance of letting well enough alone. We hope the several other counties interested will give this matter attention and send delegates to the Convention. It should meet as early before the Legislature assembles as possible, and when it does meet it should give no uncertain sound." This movement is significant, is important, is perhaps necessary. There is no wisdom in closing your eyes to difficulties and dangers. The question of county government has been pushed before the people. Pa pers claiming to be Democratic in the East and in the West, as well as all of the Republican papers, we tbinkjare favoring a most radical change in the present law, that has been so successful, such a blessing to a very large section of the State that pays the heaviest taxes and thereby bears the heaviest burdens of State. The Legislature will meet probably before May 1. It is be lieved at Raleigh that it will meet by April 20th. This body will take hold probably of the question of the election of magistrates by the people and also the election of county com missioners. The best interests of large portions of the Centre and East are in danger from this threat ened change. Caswell, Person, Granville, Orange, Durham, War ren, Vance, Franklin, Wake, Hali fax, Edgecombe, Northampton, Cho wan, Hertford, Martin, Bertie, Pas quotank, Craven, Pitt, Greene, Cum berland, Washington, New Hanover, Bladen, Pender, Brunswick, Samp son, and perhaps other counties, are all endangered by the proposed change. In all there are probably thirty counties whose interests are imperilled. Every county that fears evil from the change, and that has good reasons to dread the control of county affairs by the negro vote should stir in this matter. The proposed convention of the Democrats of the Centre and East, for there are many counties in both sections involved,should meet at some central point, say Goldsboro, and by April 15th. The best men, the most prudent and wise men, should be sent as delegates. The News says: "Let there be a full gathering and a full expression of opinion on this question. It will be too late to object after the Legisla ture has done its objectionable work. If those who are most concerned do not pro test in time, they can have no one to blame but themselves should they be again put un der negro domination' There is nothing in the law as it illy oppressive to anv man. Befo r magistrate' were appointe elect trfe nfionle. The ia h w like a charm in cjalnti anc has saved tens of thousands to ta.v.navers of those counties the It J J . . DLakes no demand upon phf Western toantW Irkt ii'gktSniho thorn. The lffifflyixm mvti miggiea unnumbered woes and been despoiled of uncouto4entf thousands, and they cannot agree to being remanded to a system that oppressed and rifled them. The question should be con sidered now. It is time to prevent the sacrifice. The tax-payers in the negro counties have right to pro tection and they have a right to look to a Demooratic Legislature to j give it. Let the counties hold their conventions and select intelligent, reflecting and prudent men as dele gates, and let tireCJOnvention protest against any repeal o. taalaw SCHOOL BOOKS AND THE LAW. - The section relative to the powers of the State Board in selecting books contains one sentence that is very im portant. It runs thus: "Provided, A. That the County Boards of Educa tion shall take care that changes from books now in use to those recom mended, do not work great incon venience or expense to parents, guar dians or pupils." How can County Boards do this if they have no dis cretionary power r It tne law in tends to make it imperative that the State Board shall select the books, and that these books must be used and no others, how can the Conntv Boards "take care that changes do not work great inconvenience oi expense to parents, guardians or pu pils ?" There is another proviso that reads: "Provided, furtlier, That the prices of the books recommended be fixed by the State Board of Educa tion for the whole term which they shall be used.' If the law be un bending why say "recommend ?" A law does not "recommend" men to obev.but commands. Gov. Jarvis is reported in the Raleigh News- Obser ver as saying: ' 'The opinion I gave him of the section, which I still entertain, is, that the action of the State Board of Education was in strict compliance with the law, and that its effect was simply a recommendation ; and that while the state .board desired tcr see tne books recommended introduced into the common schools of the State as rapidly as could be done without inconven ience or unnecessary expense, yet no teacher or county board or county superintendent was bound to use these text-books. The old recipe in the ancient cook book was, first catch the rabbit and then cook it. The first business of the State Board was to ascertain what the law was under which they were to act, and then to execute it faithfully. We do not stop to insist how they did this and whether the law is imperative or recommendatory. We do not propose to engage further in the controversy. It will be seen that the Governor regards the law in its effects as recommendatory and not as absolute, and that the counties are not bound to use the books selec ted. We close up our columns on this issue, as nothing can be accom plished by a further discussion of the matter at this time. SINGULAR OR PLURAL. Following the example of the Northern press we have sometimes written the United States as if they were a consolidated government, as France or Germany is. Hence we nave written "is" after them. We have bad a decided misgiving as to the propriety of the usage. The Baltimore Gazette takes the present Secretary of State to task for writing that the UnitodStates "is" at peace, etc. It says this is in contravention of the usages of his predecessors in oflice, and that it is "opposed to the adjudications and wordings of con stitutional law, in direct opposition to the language of the Constitution itself, and therefore offensive to ordi nary grammatical expressions. 'Levy ing war against them adhering to their enemies,' 'any office of profit or trust under them and many other expressions of the same kind, will show that the Secretary did not get hiacrrammar or his correct ideas from the organic law of the land the Constitution." We propose to stand corrected and to avoid t$s innova tion, and without proper warrant, hereafter. The Gazette says the use of "is" violates the whole theory of our constitutional system, "the de cisions of our courts and the usage Of all oar Presifientg and Secretaries of State. Consolidation has not yet been effected either in fact or in form; centralisation, though powerfully en forced by imperial Grantism, has not been recognized by accomplished re sults, and the United States as an entity, except in its composite charac ter, cannot 3e correctly called, until 1 the substance as well as the forms of our constitutional Union have ceased now stands that is rea timely in rong government ten mi Stalwarts ThW disastfcus effects! h f8 hoi n TOeTOanufactunnffVintresi have been illustrated in the experi ence of the Pacific Mitts at Lawrence, Mass. By theGhai worn bv lames from lustre eroods" to soft woollen goods a fashion introdaoed-kijliaris two years ago, the Pa?fr Mrfl-tiead to change their entire machinery. This, with loss of time, has cost them, theN. Y. 2we saysi $2,000,000Hbe sides affecting hundreds of operatives Who w?ft Umi tie employment tinder the change. This mill annually made 30,000,000 yards of cloth. The Times says the "costly and intricate ma chinery is therefore worth no more than what it Will fetch as old iron, and the company owning it has no al ternative but to dispose of it on this basis and equip its mills with, new ma chinery. The loss involved in this operation has been shown in the effect such an anticipated change has had on the market value of the shares of the Pacific Mills." This shows how much damage is done by that form of modern slavery known as fashion. Of course every similar mill has been a large loser also. Senator Joe Hawley, of Connecti cut, having been born in North Car olina, we are disposed to take a kind ly interest in, although he is not par ticularly friendly to the South. Du ring the Presidential campaign he was strong for the present tariff, and said that "any change would be dis astrous to the country." From Wil hmantic, come a brief note of inquiry to the New York Sun, signed "An Anxious Inquirer," and the point is, if Senator J. H. was in earnest in what he said, or is his latest utter ance, to the following effect, to be taken as conclusive of his real opin ion, that "the free-trade programme was to prevent any change, in order that the crudities and oddities ef the present tariff might remain available as material for political arguments ?" So the war tariff has "crudities and oddities" that need remedying,has it? The Wilmington Stab, speaking of the great proportion of our people who took up arms duriag the war about 150,000 in number mentions that our voting popula tion was only 112,500. The vote in the Presidential campaign of 1856 aggregated 85,132, and in I860. 96,230, To be sure, all who were entitled to vote did not turn out. Raleigh News- Observer, It has been eight or ten years since we looked at the vote of 1860, but our recollection is that the vote for Governor was about 112,500. If we are in error then the nnmber of troops furnished as compared with the voting population is still more remarkable. The vote for 1860 is not accessible to us or we would give the exact figures. The Fayetteville Examiner, which is apt to be correct in matters of the kind, referring to the question of an extra session of the Legislature, says: ' 'At a meeting of our members of Con gress at Washington, it is said that the question of an extra session was discussed, and the opinion expressed that the existing provisions of law are sufficient for holding an election for a member of Congress for the State at large. In this opinion the At torney General of North Carolina docs not concur, but holds that farther legislation is necessary. And in his opinion the Bar generally concurs. If this opinion be cor rect, and of that we entertain no doubt, it will be necessary to call the General As sembly in extra session." We fear the Russian Emperor is being decoyed to his ruin. He is im pressed upon evidence with a belief that the Nihilists are about to aban don their policy of assassination. If they can persuade him from his hiding place where he is guarded so constantly and where every precaution is taken to shield him from death they will probably soon teach him how deceptive and dangerous were their promises. The Tobacco Manufacturers Con vention was doubtless much relieved by the action of the caucus of the Republicans in Congress relative to the reduction of the tobacco tax. The manufacturers at large will feel relieved also if the tax remains un changed. The mere agitation of the question of reduction has affected trade in the weed generally and has had a corresponding effect upon the revenue receipts. The lines referred to by the Ra leigh -News- Observer are not in But ler's poem. CUBBENT COMMENT. 4-ii (srea. Garfield wrote his Rose crans letter to Salmon P. Chase in 1868. It was confidential.

What Leading Democrats Wrote on the Anniversary of Andrew Jack son's Birthday. Chicago, March 15. At the banquet of the Iroquois Club to-night the following letters wore read QaKvsTpif & on kers, N. t Y. ? ) March ft! Gentlemen: I have received your letter conveying to me an invitation to attend the banquet of the Iroquois Club m Chicago on the 15th instant, jthe anniversary of the birthday of Andrew Jackson, and to respond to the toast, "Democracy." It will not be practicable for me to be present with you on that occasion, but I cor dially sympathize in the homage which you propose to pay to the memory of that great soldier-states man. He represented the exultant nationality of sentiment which had always characterized the Democracy, and he manifested in a great public crisis his own invincible determina tion to maintain the territorial in tegrity of our country and the indis soluble Union of the States. He like wise represented the ijeneficeat Jef fcrsonian philosophy which prefers that nothing shall be done by the General Government which the local authorities arc competent to do, and nothing by any governmental power which individuals can do for them selves. The great contests of his ad ministration arose out of his efforts to resist the usurpation by Congress of powers in derogation of the rights of localities and of individuals, as well as of the Constitution. I well remember that in the debate in 1832, on the veto of the bill to recharter the Bank of the United States, Mr. Webster, with all his eloquence, de nounced and deplored the spectacle of the Executive disclaiming the power and dismantling the govern ment of which he was the head. The overgrowth of abuses and arrogation of authority which now conceal as they have distorted our political sys tem would have seemed fifty, years ago, when the debate occurred, as incredible to Webster as they would be to Jackson. The government can never be restored or reformed except from the inside and by the active, in telligent agency of the Executive. We must hope that Providence in its own good time will raise up a man adapted and qualified for the wise execution of this great work, and that the people will put him in possession of the executive administration, through which alone that noble mis sion can be accomplished and the health and life of our political sys tem be preserved and reinvigorated. Your fellow-citizen, Samuel J. Tildex. Senator Bayard's letter, referring to bis regret at being unable to at tend, said he hoped soon to come here and meet the Iroquois Club. "Mean while, as members of the Grand Army of the National Democracy, let us each and all endeavor with simple and steady fidelity to uphold the .political principles which alone can preserve the liberty and happiness of our peo ple and maintain the government over them, giving security to all and spe cial privileges and powers to none. Let us steadily oppose all measures tending to the centralization of power and insist upon its limitation and dis tribution, so that individuals and mi norities may be secured in their rights. Let us denounce any con struction of the Constitution that per mits perversion and prostitution of the sovereign power of taxation from the actual needs of the public treasu ry to the etntfluWent of favored indi viduals or classes, no matter under what delusive pretext it may be sought. And whilst we see to it that property shall have ample protection under the law, it shall be prevented from, becoming the governing p0wer in moulding the law;."
