It has been cautiously and care fully framed for two purposes, namely, the suppression of polygamy in the United States, and the overthrow of the political power of the Mormons. How near it will come to accomplishing its objects we can only say after it has been some time in operation.- We do not behave it will work to the satisfaction of its framers and support ers. . It is lacking in things that would aid in its operation. At the same time it may -go far toward revolutionzing things here. It is certain to work much wrong and hard ship. That cannot be avoided." The real objections to the bill were, first, its supposed unconstitutionay,lit and second, its certainty to bear hard ly on an innocent and ! helpless por tion of the Territory. But as Judge Edmunds drew the bill it was thought that fee knew how to make it within the Constitution and, it was urged that any bill, however drawn, if of any practical value, would be certain to work injuriously and. i oppressively to certain portions of the inhabitants, The New York Sun. of the 29th ult. insists mail u is uut vmy uui-uusuiu' tional, but that no one voted for it believing it to be anything else., It is disposed to hold the Republicans responsible for jits passage, and says that its unconstitutionality would not , weigh a feather 'with the authors of thebill. It looks for bad results and Hays: . .-. - .... . "Congress .may make needful rules and - regulations for the Territories, but it must exercise that power, as well as all others, within the restrictions of the bill of rights and the first ten amendments.' : But this act very nearly cornea up to the; description of a bill of attainder directed against the bulk of a numerous and orderly community. : It enables five men and their agents, to be se lected on account of their hostility to the people concerned; to punish, as for crime, indictment, trial or i conviction. This is a frightful power. In the hands of the best and wisest of men it could not be exercised without the infliction of the - grossest wrongs;, and in the hands of such as are likely to have it here the possible abuses cannot be contemplated without deep con cern. The five men not nnlv determine who shall vote, but they canvass the re turns ana aeciare. tne result according to ineir pleasure. The Star has such a detestation of Mormonism, and looks ! upon it . as such a fearful curse as well as re proach to the American ! people, that it favored a prompt, firm, summary ; way of dealing with the enormity. It is a shame that polygamy is tolerated anywhere within the bounds of our country ;If satisfied,! -as the Sun claims, that the law is J unconstitu tional,' then however much we might hate the . crimes of the Mormons we could not support a law of the kind The Utah paper quoted from says of the law: ' : -1 . "If the Commifisionfirs filinll ho fair linn orable, honest meu who will perform' their auiaes justiy. with tne determination to do no more wrong than tne Jaw compels them, the injury will be severe only in individual cases: but if the fire should tw. nf th rwV. less, irresponsible and deeply prejudiced i;iaa, mere may wen, oe mourning and sor row for afflicted Utah." , , "t ; One other remark: is it not possi ble to deal with the polygamous ulcer of Utalt without resorting to uncon stitutional . ; methods ? ' Cannot the ingenuity of lawyers frame a bill that will extirpate polygamy without vio lating the' great organi law of the whole land ? ; THE REPRESENTATIVE AT LARGE we. learned,, that' there '..Vas to be no extra session of jthe Letjisl tare and consequently no redistfictine- of the State, we . thought we foresaw an occasion tor -the ..exercise of the largest breadth ' of viewr as 5 well wisdom of selection. VVho shall be the ... candidate' of 'the "Democrat party for the ninth 'place? ' He.' must be voted for by! the electors of , "the whole State: : Ha i whose record is just ! as' unassailable as if he were the -i candidate - of -the party, for Governor, f He must be much above all reproach that he will .be mvuloerable at every1 point; ' . He must . be" so free i from - 4 ATI fori rrl i r alliances", that no section , can obiect to him upon that 5 score. ' He1 wiftf, be-of - such . . elevation "of 'character that good ' men , ; 'iff 'Noting r for mm snau aeem it a matter Tliea.f 'y Staf : nf r.lAasnrfi: and satisiaction. lie V ' -'.'www-.-. , , must be a man. who commands the respect and confidence ofTall clashes and conditions of maakuid Heju'st be acceptable to . thf Easifckndo Tfc West. He muste a mnt-talents.-tTRo'besdS's He ought toi be a good speaker on the hustings, for he may be opposed by a strong popular advocate. Who is the man e r ' - . :. It will require judgment and broad . " - .1 . 1 A. patriotism to arrive at a rigm con clusion.' The Stab has no name to propose. It does not advocate the claims - of ; particular men.; It ven tures only to. suggest what it con siders to be 'necessary i to bear in mind. - A weak man, morally or in tellectually, will not answer. A man of questionable political record would prove a ouraen irora nie hiju u railroad candidate would be beaten before he began his canvass as well as when the votes w. ere counted. ! . A very devoted son of North Garr olina, living beyond the State, but who takes a deep interest in all that concerns the prosperity and renown of North Carolina and in the success of the grand old Democratic party of principle, is in a position to learn much and to survey a consiaeraDie portion of the field. In a recent let ter not intended for publication he gives expression to some views that are weighty, enough; to merit a wider reading than this oifice, for it con tains in a few lines - suggestions that must be acted upon if ;th Democra cy of ;the. State mean to carry tbe election. If the points he raises are adopted we do ! not see why we cannot secure the Representative at Large. This gentleman says : v "It reminds me that you must use great judgment ana discretion in mat seiecuou. There must be no selfishness no splitting- You need and must have a united front, with vour most available man. It will not be a fit time to cater to the whims of political aspirants. They had ... bet ter await a more certain, as well as con venient, season." I ' Xl' - l -, -v-i ir. ; Whether the candidate comes from one District or another whether from the Centre, the East or the West, he must be a man of popular! ty, of highj character for integrity and morality, and of talents. It is not for us to indicate remotely where sucb a man may be found, but unless our , State is singularly- barren fju now there is such a man somewhere within the limits of North Carolin It will be the duty of the Democratic party to find him , , ? ARTHUR'S VETO. President Arthur's veto of . the Chinese bill will meet with no little favor with! both parties and inth the bill was a tub - thrown to. jthe whale and a surrender to clamor. As we said before, it was in a spirit vio lative of the past conduct of this country, and was the beginn ing of restrictive measures that might end in being applied to other nationali ties. The President's main objec tion was, the one urged in the Con gressionai aiscussions mat it sus pended immigration for t wen ty years and violated the spirit if not theUet ter of the negotiations upon ' which the treaty with China was based ; The future of the Republican party on the Pacific slope was no doubt the moving cause in the passage of the bill. The Democrats did not wish to be caught napping, so they voted for the bill too.' .We suppose the Presi dent is satisfied that .no harm can be done to his party by vetoing the bill, or, as a politician and partisan in thie Executive . Chair, he might have ap proved the bill. In other words, whilst Arthur's reasons for vetoing 'are strong and will be conclusive to tens of thousands ofiVoters"who are not politicians, all who Juiow his charac ter will hesitate to give him credit for being, actuated solely by a high sense of what is right and a hatred of wrong. The calculating politician was on hand no doubt when the( bill was disapproved. We suppose Ar thur would approve of a bill prohib- ltmg immigration for ten years. -We demot suppose either party will make any "great - deal in the r campaign of 1884 byi this Chinese question The good faith of the country should be maintained, and this is what the true men of jail p'artiesfshould insist upon. i j Virginia isr making a Sot very de sirable reputation as a duelling State.

Fair and Festival at Smith vllle. The . ladies of the Smithville Baptist church propose having a fair and oyster supper en the night of Monday next; the 10th inst, at the Smithville Academy, on which occasion there will also be instru mental and vocal music by Miss Lilly Thompson, Miss Mamie Thompson, Miss Emma Thompson, Mr. Edward Davis, Mr. James Price, Mr. James Clemmons and others. About the close of the entertain ment a 8horJ address will be delivered by Rev, Mr. North, pastor of the Smithville ijethodist church. The proceeds of the fair are to be devoted to the benefit of the Baptist church. Those who desire to pass an evening very pleasantly should make it convenient to be present. Committed for Lareeny. . ! Charles King, a young colored man, was arrested Tuesday night on the charge of stealing a coat and pair of sleeve buttons from W. II. ' Scott, who keeps a barber shop at the foot of Mulberry street. It ap pears that King had been lounging about in the shop, and finally Scott went out for a few minutes. Returning shortly after wards he missed his coat, and called a po liceman's attention to the fact. Upon further search, however, he found that the coat had been removed during his absence to a point in immediate proximity to a hole in the front window where' a. glass had been broken out It was then determined to set a trap for the thief, King, who had! in the meantime left.- the shop, be ing Sunder suspicion, and shortly af terwards ; the coat was missing, when the policeman was notified and almost im mediately afterwards arrested King, who threw the coat down when he saw the offi ccr approaching. In one of his pockets were found the pair of sleeve-buttons be- which had been in the pocket of a coat . 1 m , J " y ' ? ; sioien i roxi i max some monws ago, ? The case came: up before the Mayor yes terday, morning, when the defendant was required to give bond in the sum of $50 for his appearance at the present ! term of the Criminal Court. f in default of which he was committed to jafl. Homicide at Fayettevllle. t A colored man by the name of Joseph Anderson was killed in Fayetteville on Monday afternoon last, about 3 o'clock, by a colored drayman named Sam. White. It appears that Anderson had been drinking, and was going about-town cursing and abusing people and making himself gene rally obnoxious. Finally he stopped in front of Messrs. A. , S: Huske & Co.'s store and indulged in such a tirade of abuse and profanity that White was called Upon to endea'vor to put a stop to it This he at tempted to do, when Anderson turned the tide of violent abuse, upon him, 'hurl ing , at ' him a perfect r avalanche !of oaths .and execrations, and among other things calling him a' "son of a" b -h," whereupon an altercation 'ensued, in the midst of which White-seised , an axe helve from a bundle standing near the door and struck Anderson oyer the head with it.and, as it subsequently proved, ! badly fractured his skull, v Anderson was taken 'home, where he lingered until a late hour the same night, when death put an end to his sufferings. ; White was arrested, but we have not as yet learned what 'disposition was made of the case. 1 Gone Home. . - " Rev. E. F. Baldwin, of Greensboro, who has been laboring so faithfully, zealously and effectively during the series of meetings at the First Baptist Church in this city, "for the p"ast two weeks, left for home yesterday morning.
