There wcra reasons existing why the people rould not be rallied to the support of that movement which are unnecessa ry for us to consider here. One of lhe two methods of making Constitu tional changes approved by the Cjnsiitution; remained, and to this a sufferiffg1" people had recourse. Tlie Legislatures of 1871 and 1872f ndopted eight amendments of im . jortancp, one of them abolishing an nual 'sessions of the ' Legislature, thereby saving thousands of dollars a n nft ally to the .'people. These amendments were ratified by popular ote in 1873.. They were good as far as they went, but they did not go far enough. More work was needed t make the Constitution North Carolinian, to make it tolerable, and so a two-thirds majority was obtained in the last Legislature to . call a Convention which should have re stricted and well-defined ; powers to improve the instrument in the inte rests of the people, but not to, inter fre with certain rights of which the people, through their Representatives stud Si uatqrs assembled, j were wisely :i'!-l MTuptiloasly jealous. The Con V( i,iiun met in ; St piem'ber, 1875, re4 tnained in session ihirty-one days at a .Minall cost, and adopted thirty-one; ameiidiueiits. These "amendments, by an ordinance of the. Convention, are u-be submitted to the -people on - the 7th of Novemb r next, ! Being thus issnes before the people, we shall discuss them seriatim during the next sixty, days, commencing with the first ordinance and going through with the thirty-one amendments in their order: I l-KT US HA VIS NO INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE?. : , We are pained to see that Mr. VV. C. Durham, editor of the Shelby Manner, has announced himself as an independent candidate for the House of Representatives for Cleveland county. This is to be especially de plored because it is the duty of the press to discourage such bushwhack mg movements., Mr. Durham, by initiating independency, casts a sha dow over Democratic journalism in North Carolina. Wo sincerely trust that he may think belter of the mat ter, and ! withdraw.' with a suitable apology for setting a bad precedent. OKATHOF llillfoOO W. CUiON.

So - active were nis ; eaorts, so , popntart ;. jiau he become, and such was ihe confi- dence :. in . his ability, that he was cnosen tne nrst f resiaent ot tne new line, then called he Wi)mingi;0ii Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, in 1854. For so younc a man this was a considerable: ;hohor,- as .it ,was a great and increasing responsibility. Mr. Guion remained President of the road, almost entirely abandoning tie law, that he "mrht attend "faithfully to tlie duties of his position, until I860,' when , he was succeeded . by the late Col. .Robert IlJ - Cowan, of. this city.; In ! 1861 Air. Ci 11 10.11 was u'ise Governor Ellis- Advisory Council, but took no other prominent part" in politics. lie was ia maii of affairs, but loved .; his profession and poll t e letters better than tbe hurly-burly of public life. Shortly after the war he moved 10 Charlotte, hi 1866 ap peared his wonderful ; book? "The Comet," a work of j infinite research. vast learning,the cleverest ingenuity, and - an Originality , unextel led by any. similar effusion of a Southern author: There is ! no place in this memorial hurrygraph, for more tban a word, of comment on this single production of a noble genius this Pharos column that stands in solemn but splendid isolation to mark the dark Egyptian shore of speculation on Primeval Mahjand the Primeval Land. In "The Comet" Mr. Guion shows what paths a professional man of broad culture and keen sympathies and orthodox faith can make for himself In the wide desert of sciercr, ' i . . r , . ..... if he have a practical judgment, a lively fancy and an independent will. The theory of the book, so far as it tries to prove that; the earth was first a comet wandering through trackless space, may not be generally accepted, but the cleverness of construction, the broad scope of learning, the fa cility and beauty of style .which -are displayed! throughout j the .volume, will commend it to all who are capa ble of appreciating the arrangement of novel or little knowb facts in such a manner as to . frame 'from them a subtle,' plausible and fascinating ar gument compatible wij.h the princi ples of science, the revelations of Scripture and the natural sense of man." 1 r !

He sank into his grave when something less than an old man, honored for his blame less private walk, his exalted abili ties, and. his services to the State and the world to which : modesty , alone assigned limits j not jcommeusurate with his genius . and his ; accomplish-! ments. - : 1 Mr. Guiou married ; the daughte Of Gov.

Forney is alarmed, and says:: "Not since 1860, when James. Buchanan was elected President of the United States, has the Democracy taken the initial step in the Pennsylvania cam' paign, either State orf National, until this year. The simple fact that that party is first in the jfield here now shoald arouse the Republicans to the importance of the contest in which they are to engage." I ! A HI EN DM BNTSl. TO i A KT1 C L B ONE lj OF TIIB CONSTITfJTION Ef,BlT ? SOCIETIES. ' " 1, . , I v; ; The first Article of, the Constiiu tion is a Declaration of Rights.

This was' al lowed by tire Convention of; '75 as ;there wasfno lntentiori lo disturb the existing order of things except where it was deemed absolutely necessary t 'do so. . " - ' j ! ' This Declaration - of Rights lis strengthened in its 25th section by the' addition of a ' single 'sentence. We quote the whole section, iricl'u-" ding the amendment, in brackets; j Art."l, Sec. 1. The people have a riht lo assenible together to consalt for their' common good, to instruct their representa tives,' and to apply Id" the Legislature for Tedresn nf grievance's, i But secret poliflcal societies re dangerous to the hbertjea ot a free people, and should not be tolerated. j The amendment is wholesome, timely aiid necessary: , 1 Jacobinical leagues ami associations, composed of the idle and credulous, and led by the vicious and mercenary, have wrought incalculable harm to the State in the past when there was Ho restraint upon, but rather encourage ment exf ended to, such secret con- claves.' Through meaus of the Red Strings aud Union Leagues, the whole fabric of our j society and laws was rudely shaken. The Commonwealth was in danger of becoming perma nently such a pandemonium as I1 edef al interference and carpet-bag villany have cop jointly made of two or three other Southern States. Safety, came, however, in 1870, with the expulsion of Holden and his gang; and there has been since the feeling of compar ative secjarity because fhV law-abiding elements of the State have con curred in electing Legislatures that make laws for-the people at large and not for the aggrandizement of the maligitants who would opprees' them. The putting of this wise safe guard in the .organic law is highly to be commended. The people shoald see to it that the amendments are ratified, if for nothing else that those old pests of society, secret political Organizations, shall be kept out of North Carolina forever, as a disturb ing aad dangerous element. j THE HERALD. While the Germans and Indepen dents, and many of the Old Guard of the Republican party, are going otfer to Tilderi and Hendricks, the crazy old Ne w York Herald insists that Reform will not do as an issue in this campaign. ,The Herald is playing into the hands of Hayes and Wheel er just now, but a little later, when the tide sets in still stronger for the Democratic candidates, we expect to !see the great 'Mlatherskite cry itself hoarse over Reform, i Mr. Wheeler, Republican candi date for the . Vice Presidency, says the Southern people . must be satisfied that they are to have equal, exact justice accorded to them. Just 80, and when Gov. laden steps into the chair Presidential they will be satis fied. - : i " -l ) v : - ' . f Wilmington Retail market, j i The following prices ruled yesterday: .pples, (dried) 12 cents per pound; dried: peaches 25c per pound; walnuts, 25 cents per peck;. - pickles, 20 cents '- per dozen ; lard, 18 cents per pound; butter, - S040 cents per pound; cheese, 20 cents per pound ; grown fowls 6570c a pair; spring chick-' ens from 20 to 30 cts a pair; geese $1 50per pair; beef 10llic. per pound ; beef,' (corn ed) 12J15c. per pound; veai, 12i16f c. per pound; mutton, 12 11 5 cts. per pound; ham, 1516 cts. per pound ; shoulderslg 14 cents perpound; . tripe, 20 cts. per bunch; clams, 25 cents' a peck;' open clams, 2025 cents a quart ; soup bunch 5 cts; eggs, 1G cents, a doz: sturceon, 25cta. a chunk (5 lbs); potatoes, new Irishi 025d a peck; fifsh trout 25c. per bunch; mullets 1025c-per bunch; turnips, 10 cents a bunch; Onions, 5; to 10 cents a bunch; cabbages 520 cents a bead ; bologna 20 - cents a - pound ; parsley, 5 cents a bunch; carrots, 5 cents a twund; rice 10a20ca quart; - crabs 15 cts dozen : aDDles 40 cents per peck ; Sound, oysters 20 cents a quart cauliflower, 10 a25 cents: celery. 25 cents per bunch; blackberries 10c a quart; whortleberries 10 cents a quart ; sparagoa 25 cents a bunch ; beets 1215c a bunch snap.beans 20c a neck: saua8b. 10c a dozen: cucumbers 10c a dozen ; tomatoes 15c per quart; watermel ons from 20 to 75 cts apiece. ihariff :rrrefi:naery SaturdayykgJast.ofllaliHdoo McKoy, gave aosUucUons. tk . him, ; ta dis charge the regular .venire, Ij) the second week 'of the term 6nthe.follo.wTng Monday.-5 'The ! cases of James lleaton! had been Wt . for trial onf tbe ''Friday 'previous.? but' as 'be lailed to put in his appearardej, aqd had iot been heard ,f rom npA lne tiknefory journmebt ot the.

In some of the cleared swamps, as well as on the sand hills of this Section, grow as floe potatoes as were ever deed, when we consider which both the sweet and produced. In the ease with Irish varieties are cultivated here, we wonder that the whole landnot turned into a blooming potato patch. j ji A gentleman Mr. M. WJ Ililburn, of the adjoining county of Brunswick has just shown us a specimen of swamp-raised Irish potatoes thatgrew,with a large quantity of others as fine, in the short time: of nine weeks, and without the assistance Of fer tilizers. These vegetable are unusually large when compared withjthe "crack" po tatoes we obtain in market when we order specially fine ones. Let us hear no mpre of the syren songs that lull U3 to sleep while our busy Northern neighbors are earn in e fortunes by the sweat of their brows and native habits of j thrift. Tne Crop Prospect, j A gentleman of experience and observa tion, who has been travelling somewhat extensively, in the eastern counties of this State, gives a glowing account of the con dition of the crops, which he says were never more promising at this season of the year, and an 'unusually large yjeld'of all desciiptious of cereals is confidently anticr- paled. lie found much less complaint jn regard lo the scarcity of labor than has been usual among the farmers and planters of late years, there appearing to be a very general disposition among the colored peo ple to pay less attention j to politics and more to the question of meat and bread and the securing for themselves comfortable homes, than has : heretofore characterized that class among the laboring population. The crop prospects generally, are certai b ly very encouraging just now, indicating that so far. at least, as nreaasiuus are concernea Ya n antv Onrl In ROHTP ' t' For fbe Penitentiary.

Bringing to Light tbe Contents of a Corner Stone.
