To the Editor of the JW.- - The signs betoken a lively interest in the election to take place next No Tember. Already the Klitical chess board js beiDg freely used and the poli ticians are eagerly scanning the' situa tion with a view to the ;movc best for them 1o make. There j is a growing feeling of independence on the part of the masses of the people which some what con luies matters and leaves '-the "weather cocka" in a state of the most distressing embarrassment. The extent of this feeling; the shape it is likely to assume; the direction - which it may take; the force with which it may sweep, are all prablema which they would gladly solve, and thus be enabled to take at its flood -hat "tide, in the affairs of men" which may bear them on to fortune. But it is'lhis i very claai that the people are tired of. ' They be gin to look for men of sterner stuff in whom to repose their confidence, and honor with positions of trust and re sponsibility. They, have so long been made to play the part of mere pup pets .to the party manipulators that . they feel the bad results which have followed, and, if present indications count for anything I at aH, arc de lermincd to free-themselves. Nor is this conviction confined to .one party more than to the other. The honest voters in both the present political or ganizations rest under a deep impres sion that the bosses, have hosted about leng enough, and that 'it is time for iLe people, in the interest of the people, to come to the front. . THE IXUEPEXDENT IOVtMEM in : the Dcmocraticartyisbut the commencementof the mighty sioroi which is destined to . sweep before it corrupt politicians' and the corrupt methods ' by which Ihey have gained andTnainlained their ascendency. The parly in power affect hupreme indiffer ence to these obvious i manifestations of d scon tent in itsTjwn ranks, and would attempt by a ridiculous game f Huff to prop its rapidly falling fortunes; Apprehension of ultimate consequences, however, cannot be concealed and a vigorous application of the parly lasb, it is thought, will answer all purpose?; and Xrf this -end its - new'paper have already set to work. Oracism, per sonal abuse, appeals to sectional and race prejudices, will all be invoked in behalf of a continued lease of power for the Democracy, and are expected to effect their purpose as in days of yore. But the leaders have lived 'to) Utile purpose t they do not discover the iat that these obsolete weapons of political warfare have had their day and have spent all their terrors. What the peo-! pie want and what they are determined to have, is good government, just and equal laws, free schoo!!, fres ballots and fair counts and general progress. That )the party in power has failed in all the particulars, is not to be quesr tioned. That the people arc opposed to the policy which it bas pursued, is alill less a subject for dispute, lit the first place it hai taken from the people TUE B'OHT OF 8EI.F tiOVliRSM KNT, thus destroying the one great principle underlying the' elective franchise, lu all our large cities) and towns the peor pie the majority of the pcopie-?are practically disfranchised, and majority rule, that one great palladium of lie publican government, is net at naught. This has. been done with the open and avowed purposo of entrenching the Democratic party in power, legardiess of the right of the ".people.; Conslitu- tions and., laws have been trampled upon; the spirit of Republican govern ment has been mocked; the people in inese ciues ana towns nave- tcen re duced to a stale of political va-salae; that the Democratic parly might fiuJ place, power and plunder for its hungry hordes.; Mere in the city of Ilaleih we have a city government which would be swept out as with a whirlwind, but for the fact that the majority of the people are practically disfranchised. In Wilmington. Tarboro Newbcrp, Charlotte, Greensboro, Fayettcvilie, and Indeed all the larger" tow n, the 'same disgraceful method have been pursued and the same re;u!ts attained.

The Growing Infreqaenejr of afar The Romans bad a judicious law un der which a bachelor was' much more heavily t?xed than a married man, and the latter the less heavily in proportion to the number of bis children. Some thing of the 'same kind will have to be decreed in England, as the falling off in marriages is quitealarming. In 1S72 there were 176 marriages celebrated for every 10,000 persons in the king dom; in 1879 thisf number had sunk i to 115 ; and in 1881 to 132. A gloomy statistician has reckoned ' that if this ta: o things keeps on, before 1 the cloie of another 'century there will-not be a single marriage celebrated in Eog- land! ; .J ' I' .'. VT-: .,' ThU is Indeed a frightful outlook; and although these statisticians arc generally a pessimistic and scary set, one cannot escape the conclusion that something must be wrong in a society when marriage steadily decrease a Of course there are any number of doctors for this social malady, and all sorts of diagnoses are proffered land cnre-aljs suggested. One says it is because of the greatly increased expenses of family life; another that the clubsare to blame, as they offer such excellent substitutes. for the comforts of home; one' ungal lant and billions critic charges it on the extravagance of the women whose expensive dress and habits scare off suitors; another, who, we may suppose, has "Confessions" to write, avers that it is the indolence, timidity; sel5shness and general love of naughtiness in the young men that is at the root of the evil. Politeness and truth incline us to give a good deal of weight to this last mentioned Jhonest man. At any rate what he; says' goes a long ways to ward explaining the avoidance of mat rimony in city life. ' J; This same fact is noted in New Foe land and the eastern cities of the Lm- f ted States,so that it is not to us merely a matter for placid speculation like war to the burgher in Faust, when it was ; far off jaiiz tccit, t der Turlii. .Nov it is home business, an ugly growing' canker in our own social life, and ought to attract the earnest attention of goo I men and women. . ! ' Juvenal refers to the idistate for mar riage as one of the early signs of decay in the. Roman; State. A great and wise author once said to us that he" bad learned never to put much. trust in an old bachelor, as all ? such have some thing awry and cross-grained in their Characters. The sajing is true, for the nature that ia too cold, too timid, or too selfish hot to feel love and gladly risk the thorns of its flowery yoke, is a poor man or "a bad one. , The blame lies with the men.' If their home Hie is too expenerve for their means, it is because tiiey are not frank and honest with their wives. Not a woman in the world who truly loves her husband, but would gladly change her style of living and dressing were the wisdom of it fairly presented to her. And if a man cannot gain the true love oi some woman or other it is usually because te does not deserve it. Were the true relations of husbaud and wife better understood, by both parties to the act of marriage, it would be ever increasingly sought after and would be restored t)o what it really is and should be the ideal and only perfectly satis fying "cooditfon of-human life.

Call for a SUte Convention of Colored Cltixens or N orth Car. oliaa, to fleet la Goldsooro on oa 2 9ta orjfarelii M . ;,-; Whereas the colored citizens ,of Ons low county assembled in convention on the 7th of January prox j at Jackson ville, to consider matters appertaining' to their rights ! as citizens of the Uni ted States, and of North Carolina; es pecially iu the matter of colored, citi zens in Onslow and many other coun lies of the etate :beinc exctedtd from thejurjbox. . And whereas 1 said convention, did nanimously adot resolutions calling a state convention to assemble iu Golds boro on Wednesday the! 29th of March, ult., at 12 o'clock M., to take such steps as may be deemed; advisable relative to the gross outrage and- infringement upon our rights guaranteed by the con stitution of the UniUrd States and of North tJarol in. We deem it grossly inconconaistrnt with tbe spirit of our system or gov ernment tn it a portion of the citizens of the slate because of the complexion of their skios, should be denied Ibeir constitutional rights of representation where their' lives, liberties, characters and property ate at ttake ! - We consider it of" the greatest im portance that this - inesteemable boon cf freedom the beritage of citizenship hould be guarded with zealous and watchful care. -! ; ,-. We regret excccdiogly that ia cense quence of the Bourbon spirit which controls temparily the political power in our State, the stigma should go out to the world that ever a portion of the citiaens of the Old North Slate should conspire to rob their weaker brethren and fellow citizens of their constitu tional rights. , j Believing that the better portion of our fellow citizens 'wiil denouace ibis great injustice done our race, and that the great medium of public scnltment tbe press, will condemn the faithless guaraians who thus betrays the highest trust of tbe people, we look forward to a brighter era. W-c give our unqualified eadwsemen and hearty approval to the call" of a state convention and earnestly, iovi'e'a free expression from the press audpe-ople upon t'ui j great subject. , We would recommend lliat public h meetings be held in every county of thi state at an early day' where free ex pressions may be given and where del erates shall be chosen, to attend the contention at Goldaboro on the 25lh o March.' Each county will be entiljed to twice the number of votes llhey ha,ve members in the House ,of llepreseuta lives. The counties can send as many delegates to cast their vote as they soe proper. It is hoped that every. ceuoty will be fully reprfcs?utcd. , Aud may .the blessing of I'roviUeuce attend our meeting. Cumberland J , W llovd, Jn S Ijeary, G C Scurlock- . Brunswick J.
