ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE DE.HO tit VTIC DK'TRAE COM MITTEE TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA, Below will be found this . docu ment, upon the subject of the Con stitutional Conventiou to which we invite the careful attention, of our readers. We will notice it in our next more fully : Rooms of the Democratic Con- ") sekvative Cent'l Ex. Com., Raleigh, June 1st. '75. J 10 the People of Xorth Carolina : The General Assembly at its re cent session called a Convention of the people to meet at Raleigh on the Gth day of September next, for the purpose of suggesting such altera tions in our organic law as may be deemed wise and expedient. necessity for change. The necessity for changing many of the provisions ot the existing Con stitution is generally admitted, and is too apparent to require extended ar gument. It is here that some of our prominent men at one time opposed the call for a convention ; but their action was based on prudential con sideration, and not on an indisposi tion to have the- Constitution thoroughly revised. They feared that our purpose in seeking to reform our Fundamental Law, might be mis construed by the violent and ill iuform.'d men then controlling Con gress, und the prosperity of our peo ple checked, and the peace of the Mate jeopardized by some harsh and unconsiiuitioiial aciion on the part of the United States authorities. That fear no longer exists. We now have every assurance that the Cont:tutio'u of the Uuited States will be ob-eived by the officers of the Government, aud feel a satisfaction in announcing lo you that the time has at last arrived when the ollieials at Washington City concede that the pecple of North Carolina have the same right to manage their local concerns which the citizens of other States enjoy. We can proceed with out apprehension to (perfect our Con stitution and remodel it in the interests of our people. the constitution, the creature of 'military law. Tliis Constitution, the creature of Military dictation, was born in the tii roes of ji Military reconstruc tion. Its authors were mainly Sciolists and adventurers, who had lived among us without preferment, or possession of qualitictionsentilliug theiu to it; others were our recent slaves, wSio had knowu no law save the will of 'their masters, and others still were carpet baggers, both black and white alien in feeling aud Radical in education who sought vositions here that were denied them where known to despoil and hu miliute us. And when their work was submitted to the people at the polis, thousands of our best citizens were deprived of the right of voting upon it, and over eighty thousand iguorant negroes were given the bal lot to .secure its adoptiou. It is no xuirorut inn to say that not one' person in ten who voted for It could lead the instrument, ami not one in 11 ft v had read ii or was even moder ately fainiiiar with its provisions, and many gave it their support beleiving it would be merely te!.ij rarv, ami to escape further agitation and revolution. It is natural there fore that a Constitution thus formed and adopted should be found unsuit ed to our condition, and that we should embrace the earliest opportu nity consistent with reason and pru dence to secure such changes as time and experience have shown to te necessary. Our organic law should be expressed in lancu.ige clear, sim ple and perspicuous, so that nothing may be left to inference or construc tion; our rights, so precisely defined as to be comprehended by all men of ordinary intelligence; and each de partment of the government should be so restricted, that while left free lo discharge its appropriate duties, it cannot by unwarranted encroach ments embarrass the proper action of the others. THE CONSTITUTION UNSUITED TO OUR CONDITION. That the Constitution contains some good provisions uo one denies; it would be singular if it did not, but its abominable characteristics were so manifest that not a single Conservative member of the Conven tion that passed it could be induced to affix his signature to it, as a fit in strument to be submitted to the peo ple, ludeed its provisions are so loose ly worded and so badly arranged as t constitute but a medley of incon sistencies that defies the successful construction of the courts; in fact, to reconcile the difficulties arising from its practical workings, the court has in sonic Instances been driven to supply omissions, ami iu others to intro duce a new principle, hitherto un known in the juridical history of our State, distinguished as "judicial leg islation," an innovation anti-republican in character and invasive of the rights and duties of a separate depart ment. Its provisions are so obscure that within the brief space of its ex istence many more decisions on con stitutional questions have been de manded than in the entire previous history of the State and of late we have witnessed the extraordinary spectacle of two sets of judges in both the 2d and 8th Judicial Districts, contending for the same position, one of whom claiming to hold by an appointment from the Governor for a period of ten years, an office that the Constitution teems to say is to be filled by the people at the polls, and whose term is expressed to be only eight years. In many counties, there is a prac tical denial of justice, the courts are inadequate to the public demauds, and thus they are driven to resort to special terms, which are expensive aud unsatisfactory, and persons ac cusedof criminal offenses are often confined for months without trial. We need a speedier justice and a less expensive judiciary system. We should abolish every useless office, which is now filled ny a mere consu mer; for ouly by a rigid and prudent economy in our public as well as pri vate affairs, can we hope to restore the State to prosperity. It is believed that the laws will be more impartial ly administered by a return to the old practice of a rotation of the Judges. AMENDMENTS TO THE i CRIMINAL LAW NECESSARY. It is also hoped that a greater in centive to honesty and a purification of the ballot box might result from ILY J 'depriving those who are convicted of in famous crimes of the elective fran chise. The matter of the Penitentiary which already contains more than six hundred able-bodied men, also demands careful and practical atten tion, to remove in some measure that burden from our shoulders. Most of our private legislation should be ex cluded from the General Assembly. However, our limited space does not permit us to catalogue the numerous defects and imperfections of the pres ent constitution or to enumerate the remedies to be offered. There should be some general or dinance adopted in relation to private enactments, thereby reducing the ex penses of the Legislature, and in or der to. prevent hasty and inconsider ate legislation, that no new matters be brought forward withlu days of their adjourning. CAREFUL SELECTION OF DELEGATES. As to the specific changes that ought to be made, these are to be con sidered by the citizens of the various counties, who should be careful to se lect as delegates those who will prop erly reflect their wishes. Men of enlarged and practical statesman ship, spotless integrity, representa tives of all classes of society, and whose positions among you will en title their labors to confidence and support and in their hands they certainly can more safely con fide their rights than in the Conven tion of 1868. METHODS OF CHANGE. Of the two methods prescribed for changing the Constitution, that by legislative enactment is expensive, uncertain and dangerous; the several amendments recently submitted to and ratified by the people encoun tered the greatest difficulties in their passage, and even after the will of the people was declared in their favor by over 40,000 majority, serious appre hensions were entertained as to whether they were proper'y adopted; again, legislators when possessed of qualifications for such duties, are en cumbered with numerous matters, and cannot bring that attention to each provision presented for consid eration, without meeting such criti cisms as may imperil their labors. The Convention method, is speedy and economical, the body is com posed only of the same number of members as comprise the House of Representatives, and their minds are directed alone to constitutional re forms aud their work may be com pleted and ratified, if necessary, in six months. As to the expenses that may be incurred, it is believed they will be more thau defrayed in a short time by the reforms that will be in augurated. The restrictions imposed by the Legislature, fully and amply secure the Homestead, Mechanics Lien, Rights of married women, and Per sonal Liberty, and should quiet the fears of the most timid, for they are recognized as of binding efficacy and are chiefly enjoyed by the friends of constitutional reform. Indeed they were iucoriorated iu the bill mainly to remove partizan clamor, and antic ipate unscrupulous agitation. They are not the property of a mere party, but had their origin in the necesisties of civilized society and found among the statutes of various States previ ous to the war. QUALIFICATIONS OF DELEGATES. It is useless, however, to seek to quiet the mere caviller; the keen op tics of some persous defy all law. The mere fact that the honor of the best men in the Slate is pledged to their preservation, should satis fy every reasonable voter. This Convention is called in 'pursu ance of law, and each delegate be fore "he shall be permitted to sit, to be entitled to a seat in said Con vention or act as a delegate theretfe," shall swear toooserve these "restric tions" (see acts 1874-5). Should a part comply and part refuse to take this oath, only those who obey the law are members of the body, nor are we without precedents; similar oath was required of the members of the "re stricted Convention" of 1835, and the question was raised, aud after debate all the members took the oath and ob sejved the restrictions, aud that in a tiineofhigh party excitemeut. In that discussion the distinguised Judge Gaston used the following language : "The S'ate Legislature had indeed no authority to impose an oath upon the members of the Convention, but the people had ratified the act of the Legislature by choosing delegates under it. If we trausceud the limits or refuse obedience to the conditions therein prescribed, we are not the Convention called by the people, but a self constituted body;" these views were concurred in by Macon, Ed wards, Morehead, and others. We will dismiss this subject, however, by calling attention to the able work oi Judge Jamieson on "Constitution al Conventions, "Jwhere, by argument aud the cases cited by him in relation lo this matter, he demonstrated that Conventions are bound to obey the restrictions imposed by the Leg islature iu the Act calling the Con vention. AID FROM REPUBLICANS. In our last election it was gratify ing to see Republicans whohadhith erto submitted to the control of un scrupulous leaders under a mistaken belief that they were promoting the geueral welfare, seeing their cor ruptness as demonstrated by the "Credit Mobilier revelations," "San born Contracts" and otherirauds and defalcations, and their vindictive aud . relentless policy, whereby they tought to degrade the su perior race by this iniquitous "Civil Rights Bill," overcome their party prejudice and give us their cordial support. To them we extend an invitation to remain and continue the work so auspiciously begun. To Ihbse who opposed us under the de lusion of their leaders, who assured them this bill would never pass Con gress and if it did would be vetoed by the President, though it now has bissiguature; and who have witness ed the earnestness with which the dangerous "Force Bill" was urged upon Congress, we say no longer re main where there is neithersafety nor honor to a North Carolinian. The bat tle for civil liberty is not yet over. "Civil Rights" is still a part of the recent carpet-bag programme for this State ; though driven from the halls of Congress, it will be renewed in the Southern States. We there fore iuyite their co-operation. The Convention owes its final success to the support of some of their ablest representatives in the General As sembly and they are doubtless'aware hat tbe wise provisions introduocd News 1875. into the Convention of 18G8, by their ablest native representatives were scouted and defeated by that same element that has brougut ruin upon their party and confnsion to our State. NECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION. The friends of Convention should at once perfect their organization and bring out their best men iu every County in the State. The leaders of the Republican party know that by their reckless violations of the con stitution and efforts to centralize all power in the bauds of the Federal Government, they have justly for feited the confidence and support of the people; they therefore trust not to their own strength but to our apathy, and will endeavor to secure our de feat by divisions and false leaders. We therefore respectfully invite your attention to the following resolution adopted and successfully followed in our last campaign: I2e8olved, That we earnestly re comend to the members of the Demo cratic Conservative party to discour age independent candidates and all other disorganizes, that all support be promptly withdrawn from every aspirant for office who shall oppose the regular nominees of our Conven tions. Let your primary county Con ventions be duly advertised and see that the people have a full opportuni ty of attending and expressing theii wishes. The contest is- important not only in its immediate effects but tn subsequent results. The Republi can party, under the leadership of carpet-baggers still remaining among us, will advocate the election of dele gates, who.will agree to meet and ad journ without holding a.Convention, and this in violation of the wishes of the people, expressed through a two thirds majority of their chosen Rep resentatives, and after a considerable part of the expenses for mileage and per diem is incurred. We believe.how ever the promise is but a delusion and snare, for should they ascertain they have a majority in the body, it will be an easy matter fofthem to evade their promise by the refusal of a few to concur; as they do not ac knowledge the "restrctions" as binding, they will resort to the most revolutionary measures to sustain their desperate fortunes, and in the end will fail to submit their work to the people for ratification or rejec tion. Let us, therefore, present a united frout, and with a general advance along our lines Radicalism will not only be routed but overwhelmed, and a victory for Civil Liberty assured for 1876. Wm. R.

We have had it at last. We actually witnessd a spelling match at Metro politan Hall last night, being for the benefit of Person Street Church, an nilmioiinn fee being charged. Agood audience was present, rvev. m. Whitaker acted as Umpire, and Dr. Blacknall and Mr. John Palmer act ed asCaptaiusof thetwosquad3,while the Rev. Mr. Jurney and Mr. Jesse Jones gave out the words to be spelt. Two squads of a dozen gentlemen each volunteered from the audience to spell against each other and the af fair commenced in earnest. Everything mo-ed easy for some tiuiC; only a few words being missed by the respective spellers, un til the word "sacrilegious" was given out. At least a dozen fell under this, until finally only one youth, Mr. An drew Williams, a printer at the Ad vocate office, was left alone in his glory, who had himself missed it once, but who was not required to spell it from the fact his competitors had been vanquished. He was de clared the successful champion, and received at the hands or Mr. Jurney a beautiful copy of Byron's works. The "pounds" of different things were then sold. The affair was quite pleasant and a handsome amount was realized for the Church, Subscribe to the Daily News only $5.00 per year (postage paid). Toads in Tight Places. While Dr. Schlieman was making excava tions on the opposite side of ancient Troy, in 1872 he came upon two toads prisoned ameng the blocks of stone unearthed at a depth of 39 to 52 feet. The event furnishes some pleasant moralizing for the archseol gist, upon the fact that these toads have survived among the of the Homeric city for at least three thou sand years. At the same time and place, a small but very poisonous snake was uncovered. This crea ture, however, may have wriggled his way down from tbe surface at a later period. Shortly after this first interesting discovery, a second pair of toad was found between the stones of old Troy at a depth of forty three and a half feet from the surface. The venerable antiquities hopped off as soon as they were set free. The naturalist will regret that Dr. Schlie man did not make such careful ob servations with regard to the posi tion of these exhumed animals as to eettle all doubt as to the time and manner of theirgetting into the tight place from which they were appar ently liberated. A Brain Destroyihu Malady. That insomn a, or inability to sleep, has become very prevalent of late years, is sufficiently evidenced by the fact that numberless remedies have beea introduced within the hurt decade specially Intended for its cure, and that new sedatives are continually cropping up. But no medicinal agent has so widely and clearly established Its claims as a genuine soporific as Hostetter's Sto mach Bitters. That It removes this brain destroying inability far more effectually than the bromides, chlorals and valerian ates in use, is not 10 be wondered at when we consider t hxt such drugs act only on the brain, which Is not thd source of the evil, while the Bitters rectify the alimenta ry disturbances which originate It. It is admitted by physicians that dyspepsia and non-assimilation of tue food produce sleep lessness. The Bitters overcome these ob stacles to repose as well as those urinary tromles which are also said to Interfere with it. A wineglass or twoof this whole gom sedative iavigorant at bed time rarely toils to induce tranquil repose. May 25-DAWlW PRICE : FIVE CENTS.
