For the purpose ot taking Into consideration the condition of af fairs in the reconstructed States, and to issue an address to the people of the nation, conuunios? .a true state ment rOl .&eam e, Jlepublicans of these states are requested to sena delegates to a convention to beheld at Chattanooga, Tenn., October 13, 1874 ' ' ; ' . Each of said Slates may send as many delegates as shall be deemed advisable, and such delegation will be entitled to the number of votes to which their States respectively are entitled In the electoral college. All Republicans, whether of these or other States, who still earnestly seek to maintain the principles on which the Union was defended, and to Inaugurate which in the South reconstruction was begun, and who feel an interest In the preservation of law, order, and the rights of citi zenship, are invited to attend this consultation. All should come pos sessed of the facts as to the true con dition in their respective locali titles so that an authoritative statement may be made to the country. The Republicans of the South, equally with the crood citizens of other localities, demand peace and security that prosperity may for- low. Why these are not enjoyed by them snoum be made manifest by this Convention. The best men and minds of each State should be summoned to this council. If there are those anywhere who doubt as to the purposes or capacity of South ern Republicans, or who believe the oppressions under which they are laboring have been magnified, let them come and see and hear for themselves.

It is signed by Senators, members oi the iiouse or uepresentatives necessary, deal sharp and decisive and some other prominent mem- blows in vindication of law and or bers of the Republican party from jer over anarchy and confusion. the States of Alabama, Mississippi, , tit i rkansas, Texas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia. Louisiana and Virginia. The main object of the assemblage is to take into consideration the present condition of affairs In the reconstructed States of the Union, and to issue an address to the peo ple of the country, setting forth in an unprejudiced manner a true statement of our condition as a par ty and a people. We notice that no suggestion is made in the call as to the proper authority in any of the States to appoint delegates to the proposed council ; but that the invitation is tendered to tho best men of tho party. We do not think that any convention of self-constituted dele Katcs could arrive at anything like a uniform lino of policy. There must be some power from which to derive their authority: if not. it would be as well to call ft regular I mass meeting at once, of all Repub licans who might choose to attend, and In that case conflicting views and statements "would rather tend to mystify than to enlighten. We hope in tho absence of any suggested 1 mode of appointment, that tho Stale Executive Commit tee be at once called and that some acuou oe iaen Aoosiug 10 me tendance of gentlemen to represent I . - 1 1 . . I" the party In North Carolina. We believe that if men well acquainted with the condition of aflairs in their respective States and who are ready I and willing to look rather to the good of tho whole party than' to mere local and individual interests shall constitute the proposed Con vention, we can nredlct ur!i lln of policy as will tend , to place a ""6 mi, oi me re- i constructed States, under the con.

On the con trary. If criminations and recrlmln atlons are indulged in ; if minor sec- tional differences are not forgotten. I in -i word, if we show no spirit to work in unison with the broad prin- ciples of the party, then we fear that the eventful year of 1876 will find us only the remnant of a once powerful organization, prostrate at the feet of modern KtrKlux De mocracy, another term only for all the ills of anarch v and misrule May the Great Ruler of Karons avert such a calamity "from this free Republic The Ixmlslana Outbreak, i Among those acquainted with the doctrines and teach ngs of the South ern Democratic leaders InthepasW the present 'condition of affair In Ix)aJsianaoc(Lons JbutliUIe sur prise. , Jt U Juit .a, renewal of the devilfcn spirit fjebeHIpfa'and'hate that plunged the country Into the horrors of our late civil war.' It seems to be the settled policy of these men to adhere to their maxim of " rule or ruin" even In the face of the woful consequences they have heretofore brought upon bur people. From the downfall of the Confede racy to the present' time, there have not been wanting In the ranks of the Democratic party of the South, discontented and desperate men, who have nursed a secret hatred to the Government of the United States, and who have awaited some pretext, however frivolous, to again stir up strife aud fan the flames of civil.discord. For nine years they have, by grumbling and factious op- I position, kept alive feelings and I orpin dices which, otherwise. ere this would have forever passed away, until now. under the flimsy plea of a justifiable revolution, tney . . m have, by mob violence, and in utter disregard of law, overturned the Government of a State whose of ficers, by Judicial decision, were de clared to have been ia nrnnprl v constituted authorities. We hold that there is a proper remedy under the Constitution of the United States and under the or ganic law of each State, for all polit ical grievances. It is no excuse to say that, because a Governor elected & " " In any State, and laws enacted by the Legislature of any State, have become distasteful to a particular party, or set of men, a bloody at tempt to overthrow them is justifi able. The spirit and Intent of our republican institutions are, that in the use of the ballot the people should find a remedy for political evils. The almost unanimous ver- diet of our loyal people is, that laws, however obnoxious, should be tol- erated until legally and - peaceab ty cnangeu. oomercouwuw in unison with republican govern- 4. 1 1 J... S 4l,!nA meui, auu uny uepauuro iu una ic- spect would at no distant day reduce this now proud and glorious Union to the condition of the petty so called republics of South America. It is well for the American people that in this crisis they have at the helm of Government a man whose prompt and efficient action will teach these malcontents in Louisiana and elsewhere, that violence and bloodshed will not be tolerated to crratifv their thirst and crreed for piace an(i power, and who will, if By hU prompt action in this emer- ny ma uruiuut atuuu m una ciucr gency, President Grant is entitled to renewed thanks and gratitude at the hands of all true patriots through out thecountrj. Hertford Superior Court. We clip the following from the Albemarle Times, of the 11th inst. As our readers are aware, the matter of the disputed Judgeship will come before the January Term of the Su preme Court : Monday was a day of unusual In terest at Hertford court, from the fact that on that day the contest for the Judgeship between Honorable Louis Milliard and Jud&re Moore was decided. It having been ascer tained that Pipkin, the Sheriff of tho county, would recocrnize and obey Mr. Hilliard, Judge Moore de-1 lermineu not to ao more than go through the formality of holding court.

Why will not our people devote more acreage to the prime products of the land ? Why will they not plant wheat, corn, oats, rye, potatoes, and cultivate pastures for their stock, and cease to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for any other people, but by securing to themselves an abun dance of the many products of our fruitful soil, render themselves inde- pendent ueuueui turn scii-suLuiiiiug t v u trust that the subject of improving and self-sustainine?

In view of thft nwnt IrwIpcs nrrvopH view oi tne recent lawless proceed- ings In Louisiana and the ruffianly outrages that are being everyday perpetrated throughout the South ern States, the people cannot fail to discover the real aims of the SO- called Democracy : Unfortunate. It is unfortu nate for the Democratic party that it can not control the ruffians which belong to It long enough to get into power. Just when it needs public confidence it loses it. Just when the people are beginning to feel that the party has . reformed and means well, and that the devil has been cast out of it, the cloven foot shows itself, and the old-time rascality croos out in full bloom.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, lias none of the tem porary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an ele gant miscellany ol pure, light and grace ful literature; and a collection of pic tures, the rarest specimens of artistic kiH? in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends the real value and beauty of Ttjt Aldine will be most appreciated after it has .been bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheap ness; as compared with, rivals of a sim ilarclass, The Aldine is a unique and original conception alone and unap- proached absolutely , without compe aUonin price or character. The pps rlf a vnlnme cannot du- plicate the quanUty of fine paper ana engravings in auy oiucr hor ext -vnliimea for ten times its costs ; and then, there are the chromo. betides .5 . 'Art Department, io4. The illustrations of ,The A Wine have a world-wide reputation, and iu ttio rt centres of Europe it is an ad- mitivt fact that its woodcuts are exam pies of the , highest perfection ever at aained. The common prejudice in favor of "steel plates," is rapidly yieldinfr to a more educated and discriminating taste which recognizes the advantages of superior artistic quality with greater facility of production. The wood, cuts of The Aldine possess all the delicacy on'rf elaborate finish of the ; most costly ofr r.iatfi. while the v afford a better of the artist's original. To fully realize the wonderf j1 work which The Aldine is doing for the cause of i art culture in America, it is only riAftPiisarv to consider the cost to the nponle of anv other decent representa tions of the productions of great pain ters. . ' ' t ' r Iii addition to designs by the mem bers of the National Academy, and other noted American artists, The Al dine will reproduce examples or tne best ' foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success and greatest general interest SThus the subscriber to The Aldine Will, at trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the pleasures and refining influences of true art The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by Thos. Moran and J. D. Woodward. The Christmas issue for 1874 will con tain special designs appropriate to the season, by our best artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its prede cessors. . Premium for 1874. Every subscriber to The Aldine tor the year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos. The original pictures were painted in oil for the publishers of The Aldine, by Thomas Moran, whose great Colorado picture was purcnasea by Congress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects were chosen to represent "The East" and "The West." One is a view in The White Mountains, New Hamp shire : the other gives The Cliffs of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature of: the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast and affords a good display of the artist's scope and coloring. Tne enromos are each worked from thirty distinct plates, and are in size (I2xlb; and appearance exact fac-similes of the originals. The prevention of a worthy example of America's greatest landscape painter to the subscribers or The Aldine was a bold but peculiarly happy idea, and its successful realization is attested by the following' testimonial, over the signa ture of Mr. Moran mmseii. - i - . Newabk, N. J., Sept 20th. 18G3 Messrs. James Sutton. & Co. Gentlemen. I am delighted with the proofs in color of your chromos. They are wonderfully successful representa tions by mechanical process of the original paintings, i i u.. Verv xespectfull v. Signed,) Thos. Morah. These chromos . are in every sense American. They are by an original American process, with material o American manufacture, irom designs of American scenery by an American painter, and presented to subscribers to the first successful American Art jbnr pal.
