OX The Great lilemma. The present tonsiuuuu.i was adopted in 18C3 by a very large ma- ioritv of the people oi me ouic. Vmm the time of its rati ticat ion to ' .. x I the nresent. th npmocratic pany have been violent in their denun ciations of most of its important fea tures. The framers of the instru ment have been held up to the pub lic as enemies to the Southern people, and epithets of the most dis gusting character have been applied to those who took a prominent part in shnninz t. Such terms as " Car- Tot-hA? Constitution - - a Constitution," "Nigger Constitu tion," and the like, are almost daily expressed. It would seem that a party so ap parently disgusted with the organic law under which we live, would, at the first opportunity which present ed itself, take some steps to apply remedies for their grievances. The opportune time would appcur to have arrived. The Democratic party now have a two-thirds majority in both Houses of the Legislature, suf ficient, under constitutional provis ion, to call a Convention of the peo ple and arrange matters to suit themselves. But somewhat of a change seems to have come over their dreams. The Constitution, framed, as they say, by carpet-baggers, scalawags and niggers, is, in the opinion of many of the faithful, endurable at least until after the Presidential election in 1876, and the further im pression appears to be gaining ground, that, if a Convention should beealled for the punose of changing it, the dear people of the State, alarmed at the prospective tamper ing with the Homestead and other privileges allowed under Republi can rule, will electa majority of Re publican delegates to represent them, and thus again consign the unterrified to an ignominious defeat. The will of the leaders remains firm, but then, that atrful class, the people, who are continually placing themselves in the way to obstruct oligarchial plans, are rather suspi cious at present, and a little more time must be taken to nurse them up to the proper point. Taking these views into consid eration, the faithful sentinels of De mocracy now on guard in the Capi tol of the State will doubtless talk " Convention" over their Christmas dinners, and we would not be sur prised if the mocking-bird should w histle the approach of Spring ere the vexed question can be so sugar coated as to create no nausea upon the stomachs of the people. With the Convention thunderbolts of the Sentinel on the one hand aud the echo of Joe Davis, Judge Fowle and other policy batteries on the other, the faithful may find it neces sary to fall back from Raleigh and Hgain consult the folks at home, with whom policy, rather than in clination, inclines them to confer. Verily the dilemma is a difficult one. We can only hope for a happy deliverance; but how many, oh, how many of the essence of Democ racy are this day revolving in their minds those words so consoling to the troubled politician's heart, "the post of honor is private station." Tea Party. The members of Hickman Lodge, I. O. G. T., of this city, gave a Tea party on Thanks giving evening, which proved to be one of the most pleasant affairs of the season. A large number of citi zens and strangers were present, and the evening was passed in sing tog, promenading, eating and drink ing. At 10 o'clock the' gathering was brought to a close by the entire company joining in to the tune of that grand old song, "The Old North State." Addresses were de livered by Rev. T. II. Pritchard, Hon. Josiah Turner, Capt. Thos. C. Evans and others. Among the Dry Bones. On Monday, the 30th ult., Mr. Glenn, the Republican member of the House of Representatives from Yadkin county, introduced a bill looking to the purchase by the State of material for executing the Public Printing. On presenting the bill, Mr. Glenn set forth in a clear manner the ad vantages which would accrue to the State by its adoption, and showed that it would save the tax payers thousands of dollars. The bill was referred and ordered to be printed. Later in the day it was rumored among the faithful that the passage of Mr. Glenn's proposition would ruin the party, inasmuch as it would deprive some of their organs of a large slice of the spoils of office which they had labored for so per sistently, and forthwith a panic was created, the motion to print wag rcconsidcred and the bill refer- red to tne judiciary committee, where it will probably die. How 4 1 nnn Hiv fi love the mw lumuui, umi-uiucvt dear people ! The Message. We continue our extracts from the Press of the State on Governor Brogden's Message : " Governor Brozden's message to the Legislature is a very creditable document, and much better than might have been expected irom a Radical executive. He expresses his views on nublic matters clearly and forcibly and shows a thorough knowledge of the status oi our itau roads and State institutions;. He urges the importance of fostering our educational interests." Pied mont Press. 44 The message is practical and ap pears to be full in its statements, without any special recommenda tions as to the means best calculat ed to remedy the evils to which he calls attention. He is hopeful of the prosperity of the State in the future. We are glad to notice that the document is free from any par tisan malignity and is dignified and courteous in its tone." Roanoke Xexcs. 'The message of Gov. Brogden does credit to the head and heart of the man. We did not look for or expect an extraordinary state pa per ; but we are free to confess that it surpasses our expectations. It is a brief and candid exposition of our State affairs and is not without en couragement in the future." JPU ton Chronicle. 44 The Governor's message to the Legislature is quite a lengthy docu ment, too much so for insertion in our columns. We look upon lit as a very able state paper, and we are glad to notice that it is very favora hlv onnimented on bv most, if not all, of our Democratic exchanges Spirit of the South. State Agricultural Jour nal. This paper, published in Ra leigh, has passed into the hands of Johnstone Jones, Esq., as Editor-in-chief, and C. B. Denson, Esq., as Associate Editor. Both of these gentlemen are well known in the history of North Car olina journalism and will doubtless render substantial aid to the agri cultural interests of the State. The editor-in-chief, in his salutatory, foreshadows his course by stating that the Journal will be conducted upon a non-partisan basis, but qual ifies by the assertion that, in case of urgent necessity, political questions will be viewed from a conservative standpoint. Federal Court. This tribunal commenced its session in this city, on Monday the 30th ult., Judge Brooks presiding. The Supreme Court of Indiana having decided that colored chil dren are not entitled to the benefits of a common school education from the school fund of the State under the provision of the constitution, the colored citizens, many of whom are large property holders and heavy tax payers, are beginning to look with anxiety to the probable action of the Democracy, when they shall have full control, as to the few rights which remain and in the ex ercise of which they were protected while the Republican party was in power.
