A Kestrieted Convention.
It is evident that the leaders of
the Democratic party are conscious
of the strong hold the present State
Constitution has upon tho people of
North Carolina, from the attempts
being made to produce the impress
ion that no efforts will bo put for
ward to abridge the most important
privileges accorded under Republi
can rule. For the purpose of sugar
coating the Convention measure to
such an extent as to produce no
nausea upon the stomachs of the
people, it is given out that the
members of the body will be re
stricted by Legislative enactment,
and that the present sections of the
Constitution in relation to the
Homestead provision, rights of mar
ried women and the equal enjoy
ment of the ballot, will not be in
terfered with in a manner detri
mental to the interests of the peo
ple. We warn tho people of the State,
and especially such members of the
General Assembly as have not yet
been driven into the support of the
movement by party lash, to beware
of the insidious mean3 by which
designing leaders and ambitious
demagogues hope "to deceive the
masses of the people. If there be
no intention to interfere with any of
the important and essential features
of our present organic law, why is
it necessary that a Convention
should be called ? If no revolution
ary action is desired and theehanges
sought for be of a minor character,
why is it that gentlemen of the De
mocratic party should propose to
put the people of North Carolina to
the heavy expense of an additional
hotly, when the Legislative mode
of amending the Constitution could
be equally effective in the end, even
if a year or so longer should be re
quired to perfect any important al
terations? The very fact that the
designing leaders of the Democracy
insist upon the calling of a Conven
tion rather than to submit whatever
lortion of our present Constitution
is thought to be prominently ag
gressive to any portion of the peo
ple to the wisdom of the Legisla
ture of the State, is the best argu
ment that measures of an extraor
dinary and revolutionary character
are contemplated which the fear of
popular indignation prompts them
to conceal for the present.
There is nothing in tho past histo
ry of the Democratic party calcu
1 ited to favorably impress the peo
ple with confidence in its devotion
to their interests.
It should be remembered that the
sime clf.s of men who for years im
poi upon us the barbarous code of
liws under which the masses had
no rights which aristocrats felt
bound to respect, and by whose ac
tion our country was plunged into
the horrors of civil war, are now
loudest in their demands for civil
revolution. It should also be re
membered that no concealments are
b:ing made by certain influential
l3aders of their desire for a return
of theante bellum system of whip
ping posts " restricted suffrage,"
imprisonments for debt," and like
enactments, and that the hatred of
such men to popular rights is likely
to overcome any such minor scru
ples as legislative oaths of restric
tion. The men who are leading in
this bold attempt to tear down the
pillars of our present Constitution
know full well that nooaths admin
istered under legislative enactment
to bind members of a Convention
of the people of Xorth Carolina
would be to any extent effective.
Thepeople in Convention assembled
are sovereign. They can make and
unmake legislatures, and would
hardly feel compelled to yield obe
dience to the servants of their own
creation. No, fellow Republicans,
the cry of restricted Convention is
the delusion with which they hope
to cover up their nefarious designs.
Once assembled, the pent up ven
om against the people's rights would
resound in the Convention, and the
dearest privileges of the people,
wrested from the hands of the aris
tocracy by the Republican party,
would be forever lojt.
We call uptn the peoplo of the
State to open their eyes to the dan
ger at once. Arise in your might
from the seashore to the mountains
arid set your seal of condemnation
upon a movement which threatens
vour personal liberty, your prop
erty and all the inalienable rights
pertaining to American citizens.
Let meetings in different counties
be held at once, and let the good
citizens of all parties Cock together
in counsel to thwart the designs of
tho bold and reckless men who
would trample under foot every
vestige of civil liberty. The Era
invites correspondence from promi
nent men iu relation to the crisis
and pledges a "hearty co-operation in
rescuing the people from the dan
gers that threaten them.
Cotton Tax.
We give below, in full, the bill
lately presented by Hon. W. A.
Smith proposing a mode of refund
ing the tax on cotton collected just
after the war by the general govern
ment. This heavy tax upon the
chief product of the South at a time
when our people had been so seri
ously crippled, was the causs of
heavy complaint, and the sympa
thies of many, in all sections of the
Union, were enlisted in behalf of
the effort to have it refunded. The
proposition that the government
should remit the amount collected
to individuals, has met with objec
tions from some on the ground that
beneficial results would accrue to
many who had taken an active part
in the rebellion ; and hence, many
Republican members hesitated to
give it anything like a serious sup
port. The bill presented by MaJ. Smith
removes any conscientious scruples
against the reimbursement of indi
viduals, by proposing that the
moneys so collected shall be refund
ed in such a manner as to be of sub
stantial benefit to the entire people
of the Southern States.
We earnestly hope that the con
solidated Republican strength of
Congress may bo brought to bear in
favor of the bill. Its passage will
do much to strengthen the Republi
can cause in the South, while it will
exhibit new proofs that ours is a
party having in view the real good
of the whole nation.
The following is the bill :
Whereas, There has been ille
gally assessed, collected and paid
into the Treasury of tho United
States a large sum of money, im
posed as a tax upon the cotton pro
duct of certain States, to-wit : Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
and Arkansas ; and, whereas, the
said States are involved in debt
from which they cannot relieve
themselves without assistance
therefore,
Be it enacted, Cr., That the Sec
retary of the Treasury and the At
torney General are hereby directed
without delay to confer with the
creditors of said States and ascertain
upon what terms such indebtedness
can be compromised and adjusted.
The evidences of debt shall be class
ified in the manner now established
and recognized by the Stock Ex
change of New York. If, in the
opinion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Attorney General, a
reasonable and fair settlement of
such indebtedness can be made,
then the Secretary of the Treasury
is hereby authorized to pay on the
debt of each State a sum of money
equal to the amount of cotton tax
collected from the people of such
State, as aforesaid : Resolved, That
where the amount of cotton tax so
paid by the people of any one of
said States shall not be sufficient to
discharge tho whole of such indebt
edness, payment shall first be made
on debts contracted previous to the
first day of January, A. D. 1801, the
excess, if any, to be applied as far
as it will go to the payment of debts
contracted subsequent to May 1,
ISfrTi, according to their class, those
of longest date being entitled to pre
ference. 2. And be it further enacted. That
if there shall be a surplus after dis
charging the debts of any of such
Statesoutof the so collected as afore
said cotton tax, the Secretary of the
Treasury is hereby directed to pay
the same to the proper authorities
of the State wherein the people re
side from whom the same was col
lected, to be used for the support of
the free schools of such State.
Department of Agriculture.
We have received the report of
this Department for the months of
November and December.
From an estimate of correspond
ents, tho cotton crop of the South
for 1874 aggregates about three and
two-thirds millions of bales, and
the yield per acre is less than in
187.
We extract from the Digest of
crop returns the following reports
from several of the counties of
North Carolina in regard to the'
quality and quantity of corn :
Caldwell: Two weeks later than
last year, and hence not so firm or
well matured. Rowan : Excellent
in grain, and turns out better than
was expected, Randolph : A very
fine crop cut down below average
by chinches and floods on bottom-!
lands. Franklin: Far above aver
age where well cultivated. Wilkes:
In the west of the county, the cron
Is better than for thirty-five years;
eastern upXapd'crjps were Ijijttnjl
by drought, but bottom-crops were
fine. J Haywood: Not very well
filled and somewhat loose on the
cob. Burke: Early drought fol
lowed b!y excessive rains and early
fall-frosts injured the crop greatly.
Person: Damaged by drought.
Camden :i Fine gatherings season.
IF ayne Larger acreage than last
year and equally fine quality. Chow
an: Short, but of good quality.
Gaston.- Fair on lowlands ; variable
on uplands. Lincoln: Long drought.
3IcDowai: Better than for years.
Robesoq: Turning out well. Beau
fort: Crop larger and better than
last year.
The returns from different por
tions of the country are unusually
favorable to the wheat crop. In
Ohio tlic largest acreage in fifteen
years i reported. Only one report
is giveii from North Carolina, which
represents the crop in Wilkes in a
more favorable condition than ever
before known.
The reports from the tobacco crop
indicatp considerable disaster from
the cliihch-bug.
We were particularly struck with
the limited quantity of information
furnished by correspondents in
North Carolina, compared with oth
er Statf si,
If most of our intelligent farmers
would make it their business to jm
part such useful information to the
Department as might come under
their observation, a great deal more
of the vast resources cf our State
would j be known throughout the
world, ahd a new impetus given to
immigration and the material inte
rests of our whole people.
Oeatli of the Spanish Republic.
Latent intelligence from Spain
represents another change in the
government of that unhappy coun
try, by the accession to the throne
of Alfdnzo, son of the exiled Queen
Isabella. This result is the natural
consequence of the contending fac
tions which have, for the few past
years, been engaged in despoiling
each other until the army and navy,
despairing of anything like a per
manent peace on any solid basis un
der Republican rule, declared for
the monarchy.
The pew King is only seventeen
years of age, but is said to be pos
sessed bf unusual intelligence, with
a peculiar tendency to military hab
its. ;
If, as is hoped, the new ruler
should call to his cabinet the ablest
and best of his countrymen, and so
conduct himself as to wear off the
stigma of profligacy which attach
ed to his mother's court, his unhap
py land may yet be brought up to
that standard of civilization required
by the enlightened ideas of the
nineteenth century. Although we,
of America, may lament what
might seem to be a check to Repub
lican i government, yet, when we
consider the revolutionary tenden
cies of the people, their lack of ca
pacity to appreciate self-government,
together with the unsettled
condition of the country, it is per
haps better that a stronger form of
government should, at least for a
time be adopted.

Treasurer's Report. The re
port of the State Treasurer places
the receipts into the Treasury for
the Public Fund during the year
ending the 30th of September, 1S71,
at GG5,1 14.49, and the disburse
ments at $451, 339.G8 leaving a bal
ance in tho Treasury of $225,702.21.
The receipts for the Educational
Fund for same time amount to
$44,331.21 ; disbursements $56,029.94.
The Treasurer, speaking of the
gratifying fact that there is a bal
ance in the Treasury, says :
" This balance indicates that the
Treasury, during the year, has been
free from the embarrassments of
former years, to which allusion was
made in my last annual report. Its
existence is attributable to the ad
equate levies of the revenue act, un
der which the taxes for the year
1873 were collected, and the reduc
ed expenses of the fiscal year 1874,
as compared with the previous year,
in connection, also, with the fact
that the third quarter salaries and
monthly or quarterly quotas to the
Insane Asylum and Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind
were not paid on the 30th of Sep
tember, as in 1873, (warrants there
for not having been presented) and
thus brought in the account of the
closing fiscal year, but were paid in
October.
I apprehend, however, that it
will be but very little more than
sufficient with the reduced taxes
now coming into the Treasury, to
meet the expenses of the govern
ment, as small as they are, or ne
cessarily can be, for the present fis
cal year." ,
Paris Green for the Cotlbn
Caterpillar.
Paris green was tested quite ex
tensively last year and in not a sin
gle instance where everything was
known to be right have I heard of
failure. A few persons claimed
that the compound damaged their
crop, while others reported that it
worked no particular good. In the
first named case it is highly proba
ble that too large a proportion of
the Paris
green
was used, and in
the second too small, or the Paris
green was not good. 1 am satisfied
that toward the close of the season
large quantities of a heavily adul
terated article were offered for sale
in my own city of Mobile, and I
have no doubt it was the same in
other places.
All through the caterpillar season
of last year, I put Prof. Rilev's
remedy to the test in various ways,
and the result has convinced me
that we can save our cotton by the
use of Paris green. And I hope
our planters will not hesitate to try
it. There is no patent on the pro
cessthe patents in vogue are on
certain compounds as Wisenant's
Caterpillar-Destroyer,' and thelike.
Our planters may buy these, if they
feel so disposed, but for my part 1 4
want nothing better than good Paris
green and flour in the portion of
one to thirty, or almost any other
fine material will answer in place
of the flour, as it is used simply to
spread the Paris greeg and reduce
its strength. For a duster, I use an
old tin bucket or can nailed or
screwed to a handle about four feet
long and having a piece of common
mosquito bar tied securely over its
top, which becomes its bottom when
I am dusting on tho compound.
While at work I keep to the wind
ward of the row being operated
upon and so have no fears of suffer
ing from any poisonous effects of
the drug.
But there is one thing to be con
! sidered, if we hope to succeed we
must have pure Paris green. Swind
ling the farmers has grown to be so
fashionable of late, that it behooves
us to keep our eyes open, and I
hope Granges of the Patrons of
Husbandry, and Councils of I he
Progressive Farmera in the Cotton
States, will see to it that their.mem
bers are supplied with reliable
Paris green, in case it is needed.

4 Father, what does a printer live
on
' Live on ? the same as other
folks, of course. Why do you ask,
Johnny ?"
" Because you said you hadn't
paid anything for your paper and
the printer still sends it to you."
" Wife, spank that boy."
11 1 shan't do it."
"Why not?"
" Because there is no reason to."
"No reason? Yes, there is.
Spank him, I tell you, and put him
to bed."
I shan't do any such thing.
What in the world do you want
him spanked for?"
" He is too smart."
" Well, that comes of your mar
rying me."
" What do you mean ?"
" I mean just this, that the boy is
smarter than his father, and you
can't deny it. He knows enough
to see that a man, printer, or no
printer, can't live on nothing ; and
I should think you would be
ashamed of yourself not to know as
much."

Are you so languid that any oxci ii. n
requires more of an effort than yn f.-i
capable of making? Then try J urn
be ba, the wonderful tonic and invipira
tor, which acts so beneficially mi t!,
secretive organs as to impart i,,-(.rt i
all the vital forces.
It is no alcoholic appctiler, wlj h
stimulates for a ehort tune, only t i i
the sufferer fall to a lower d.Jpth wl Mis
ery, but it is a vegetable tonic Ki ting
directly on the liver and spleen.
It regulates the bowels, Quiets th.
nerves, and gives such a healthy lone
the whole sysieni ns to soon make fin
invalid feef like a new person.
Its operation is not violent, but is
characterized by great gentleness; tlie
patient experiences no Hiiddeucli.-ir.e,
no marked resu t, but gradually I.N
troubles
"Fold their tents, like the A i-.il-,
And silently steal away."
This is no new and untried dfeovm
but has been long used with wonderf ul
remedial results, and is pronounced l
the highest medical authorities, "tin
most powerful tonic and alterative
known."
Ask your druggist for it.
