TH E E R A i Official Orjran of the United State TV. 3LHROWy, Manager. KALKIGH. I. C.i THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1S75. An Election for Delegate to num ber One Hundred and Xwentjr, t amend, the Constitution of ; the Male, -will I held nThundar, the 5th of Ansvtt, 1S73. The Conven tion will meet at Ilalelgh, on the (Hit of the follorIucr September. The Republicans of GoIdslorc liave elected their entire city ticket ly twenty-five majority. There are hundreds of poor De mocrats in North Carolina who are in the enjoyment of a home furnish ed them at tho hands of the Repub lican party. Ilad it not been for the Homestead provision of our present Constitution, their wives and children would now be home less. Will such men be longer gov erned by passion and prejudice? Iset them reflect. Passion, preju dieeand hate will avail you nothing, and the leaders of Democracy will desert you when the sheriff's exe cution is. made operative. Take warning, poor men of all parties, and vote for the only party that has exhibited any interest in your welfare. Democratic lawyers, many oi whom are looking to judgeships under the Convention movement, declare that the Homestead pro vision of the present Constitution docs not apply to old debts. They have denounced the decision of our Republican Supreme Court a3 a partisan one. If the election of Supreme Court Judges should be taken from the people and trans ferred to the Legislature, the Su preme Court will be composed of Democratic judges and they will decide that the poor man's Home stead is liable for debts contracted during the war. As the Constitu tion now stands the poor men of North Carolina can live in ease and omfort, educate their families and leave them a home. Will you put your dearest rights in jeopardy by inaction? This question is to be ueciueu in august next, ana is a vital one to thousands. How the nabobs do itcii to again have the power of inflicting the lash upon poor white and colored citizens! It would so remind them of the old days of slavery to hear the groans and witness the writh iugs of poor wretches under the sheriff's scourge. They would be willing to pay the cost of a Con vention for this one privilege rather than miss having it. Let the peo ple remember that thev -refused to have the Convention act restricted in this particular. Dr. Y heeler, tho member of the Legislature fromForsythe.put them to the test on this subject. That gentleman offered an amendment to the restrictions incorporated in the act, to the effect that the Con vention should pass no law estab lishing a whipping-post. The De mocrats voted it down unanimously. Keep this before the people. Ring it on every stump. Charge it upon them on all occasions. One of the main reasons why the Democracy wanted a Convention was to take re venge upon the poor white and col ored people, and one of the main instruments of this revenge was to le the whipping-post. Count the Cost. At five dollars per diem, for each member, clerks, fcc, the Conven tion will cost the poor people of the Stato of North Carolina between seven aud eight hundred dollars each day of its session. If the Democrats should unfortunately succeed in obtaining a majority the body will be in session probably several months, and will be follow ed by a session of the Legislature which will doubtless drain the treasury of every available dollar, All of this vast exnense is to be placed upon the people for the pur- r .... wj vi iTtraunjf new oniees lor a few aristocrats, and for the purpose of depriving the poor people of the rights now enjoyed by them. It is one of the main objects of the Re- publicans to avoid this vast expense and relieve the people of the amount of taxation necessary to meet it. Ilemember that the Democratic Convention of 1S61 entailed upon us and our children the heavy debt under which we now groan. Dem- ocracy is no oeuer, ana we Deneve, worse than in 1SC1. The action of the late Legislature is enough to eonvince poor men of all parties that their only refuge is in the ranks of Republicanism. We call upon the bone and sinew Democratic Judges were simply au of North Carolina to be no longer I tomatons who. submissively voted deceived and made tools of by de signing men. Wo are conlident that serious rtfltvtion will convince thousands who have listened here tofore to theeaehiiigs of prejudice by and hate to y. spouse the ca use of truth, jusiitv, equality and eon. qutnt gouu fcoveriuiient. ivvery man iiajnxroy o periorm 10 mm- self and family. Fouder well and I llecide which path you will tako. J their candidates, and their inten- Economy as is Economy. The Ku Klux boys " who spent the late winter in Raleigh, under the firm and style of the General Assembly of North Carolina," were clamorous for " economy.!' That magic word was painted on their midnight masks, worked in blood-red thread on their ghostly gowns, and hung out on streamers attached to their horrid horns. Tluy an-so each morning from eeoiioink-.il beds, washed their faces in economical bowls with economi cal feoap, , combed their hair with economical comLs, brushed thfrir J economical heads with economical brushes, took each an economical drink of economical whiskey, and after eating an economical breakfast at an economical boarding-house, ... i . sat down at economical tables to prepare economical speeches on eco nomical bills. They talked eco nomical talks, they spoke economi cal speeches, tlfey ate economical peanuts, and were all and singular an economical set. A very large majority of the peo ple of North Carolina are engaged in agriculture and the mechanic arts, aud the State has been encour aging those engaged in these pur suits by appropriating fifteen hun dred dollars per year to enable them to hold a creditable State Fair, but it was with great difficulty that these economists were persuaded from taking away this appropria tion from our farmers and mechan ics, on the score of economy. Our tanners are also largely inter ested in having their soils analyzed, and those of our citizens who own mines of coal, iron, copper, gold, fcc, in having their ores tested. To this end the State many years ago engaged the services of a skilled geologist and chemist. The econo mists of the late General Assembly made herculean efforts to abolish this office, and thus deprive our cit izens of this valuable officer, on the score of economy. The maimed and disabled soldiers of the late Confederate army from North Carolina asked that they might be supplied with an artificial leg or arm at the expense of the State, in order, in many cases, to prevent their being thrown on the charity of the public, but these economists were so busy drawing their five dollars per day, and were so intent on staying at Raleigh till each member got his Jive hundred dollars, exclusive of mileage, which in some cases amounted to near two hundred dollars, from the State Treasury, that the appi al of these disabled men was disregarded, on the score of economy. A bill was passed to take up the old State bonds and give the hold ers forty cents in the dollar, payable in new bonds, provided the holders would not charge anything for the interest already due on the old bonds. It is thought there is not a sane man, woman or cWld in Eu rone. Asia. Africa or America who would for three minutes consider the proposition, but these econo mists werp-'so anxious to publish their follv to the world that the Secretary of State was ordered to publish the act for three months in the New York Journal of Commerce aud in the London Times. These economists would notpatronizeany of our home papers, but had the act published in a Yankee paper and in a British paper. Therearemany of our home papers which would have published the act for fifty or one hundred dollars. But the Yankee paper charged twenty -two hundred and fifty dollars and the British pa per chargeel only five thousand dollars, less fifteen. So the amount paid by this eco nomical Legislature for publishing one silly bill was over jsun it,rs THOUSAND DOLLARS These are the economists who calleel the State Convention. The conduct of the Democratic judges in the late municipal election in this city, for the Fifth Ward cannot be characterized in any other manner than infamous. It wassusr- gested by the Kepublican minority that a consultation be had bv the registrar and judges of that ward for the purpose of agreeing upon a lineof conductfor election day. The three Democratic members consent ed to the meeting but failed to at tend. Tliey met by agreement to themselves, and agreed to so judge of the claims of voters as to give the majority to the Democratic can didates. They overrode every pre cedent of law, and were guilty of the most outrageous frauds upon the rights of voters. Over fiftv Ite- publican voters were denied the right to vote, in that ward, upon the most flimsy objections objec- tions that no iudre or murt r inC. tice would dare hold to be rieht or just. In fact, the registrar and the to reject Republicans at the dicta- tion of a malignant challenger, ap pointed for the purpose, who stood inside the voting-place all day, and every meanssought to brow-beat and repel honest voters. The ward was thoroughly canvassed by the hirelings of tho ring; they knew precisely how many, votes it was necessary to reject in order to elect lions were so patent from the start, that every one present at the polls early became satisfied that thewhole affair was cut and dried before the Democratic poll-holders met at the voting-place. The election was a complete farce and palpable fraud. . ux. fsuori. iiiuiciiuuiii In 18C1 the Democrats plunged I the country into civil, war without submitting the question to the peo ple, against anex press understand ing to-the contrary at the time of theelection for delegates to the Convention. , Thpv fnrooil n flood of monev UDOn the people, and afterwards repudi - ated the same. They squandered the Sinking Fund of the State which had been placed in their hands as a sacred trust They invested the entire school fund of the State in worthless Con federate bonds, and thus defrauded poor men's children out of the means of education. They promised the poor men, that if they would enlist for twelve months they would, at the expira tion of their terms, be allowed to return home, but instead of com plying with their promise, they had them conscripted and left their wives and children to suffer. The poor men of North Carolina were hunted down by Democr.ttjc tyrants with bloodhounds, and force4 to fight against their will. The latest and crowning act of Democratic meanness consists in the refusal of the late Legislature to furnish artificial limbs or commuta tion to the poor unfortunate men who were forced to fight the slave holders' battles. After all this, the voters of the State are asked to again trust in Democratic promises. Rely upon it, that unless Republicans shall control the coming Convention the days of popular rule are over in North Carolina. There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Now is the time for the free people "of our good old State to establish upon a firm and lasting basis the privileges enjoyed by virtue of the Republican party. Let good and true Republicans be brought out in every county and let all men who desire to retain their rights put their shoulders to tne wheel. The chances now lost may never be recovered. It is customary, at elections regu larly held, to have two inspectors of each of the political parties: not so the late apology in the Fifth Ward. To the record. On the 2Sth day of April, 1874, Joseph A. Harris, a Democratic (?) judge of election, wrote a communication for the Era, in which he said he had theretofore voted the Conservative-Democratic ticket " more from prejudice than anything else approved the nomi nation of Mr. Purnell; characterized Col. Pool, a Democrat, as "an ene my toathe working-class;" "fully approved " the nomination of Mr. Holden, an unmistakable Republi can ; pronounced as "good" the nominations of Gorman, O'Neill and Jones yes, colored Mr. James Jones ; and, after saying that he felt it his duty in future to " take sides with the Republican party," wound up by lauding the Republican as the " party that is always advancing in new ideas and doing aw ay with old broken down men and things." On the 25th of February, 1S75, R. V. Best, the other Democratic (?) judge, afflicted with caeoethes scrib- endi, wrote an article for the above named journal, in which he charged the Democratic party with " incon sistency, ingratitude and favorit ism ;" applied to that party the contemptuous adjective "so-called;" alluded to the slighting of himself and a youngrer erentleman by the Democracy, because they were not " favorites," and then, asking why is it thus? answered in these words tt We tell you new recruits to the Democracy and those contemplat ing leaving the party of great principles the Republican party that it ia inconsistency, ingratitude, and favoritism." Messrs. Nichols and Neathery were appointed as Republican in spectors. From the above it will be seen that there was nota legal repre- X A f 1 A. 1 ft V seiimuon oi puriies on ine ooara. The Democratic challenger played a strong game, ana mese corre spondents of a radical newspaper joined mm m his work of disfran chising members of that party which they a few short months since so eloquently extolled. That fixes their political status, we guess. Gratitude. A; Republican Board of Trustees of the Deaf and Dumb Institution elected a Democrat as Treasurer of the same, although there were sev eral worthy and responsible Repub lican aspirants for the place. They did so because they had found that the said Democrat was a faithful officer. A ; Democratic Board of Alder nen; of Raleigh have elected the son of the individual above alluded to Treasurer of the City of Raleigh in the place of tiro worthy old Treasurer, who had used his influ ence to retain the father in his place. A new election for Treasurer of the Deaf and Dumb Institution takes place in June, Tho Disabled Soldiers. The Democrats profess- to have great regard " for those wholfought the battles of the nfeileracy;Ve. well rememberJhow- thc.poornien of the State ''were besought . to go to theJrtfnV and , fight igalnstjthe tJag'cf tho Unionand the promises that were -made t ha t their wlvjes and JittIeVpeswpufd be cared for. Hdwsuch miufseswerokep'tinany a poor w omagTcan sad ly - testi fy What is more characteristic f De mocratic meanness than the fact that the last Legislature neglected to furnish artificial llrrfl)! or com mutation to the hundreds of poor j1iM Died for1 life? Thousands of fol lars were spent in passing bills to abridge the political fights of poor white and colored - citizens, but when this act of humanity came up for consideration it failed to pass. What think you of such treatment, ye men who risked your lives to save the property of na bobs from destruction ? Are. you willing to trust such men further? If these men refuse even this poor boon, is it reasonable that they will hesitate to deprive you of your Homesteads if they should have a majority in the coming- Conven tion ? We think the disabled ex Confederate soldiers of North Caro lina should assemble and denounce such ingratitude. Such treatment is worthy only of savages, and finds no precedent in any civilized government we read of. Let the poor wounded soldiers of the Con federacy take warning and vote in the future with the party of justice and humanity. The new Democratic board of Al dermen exhibited a remarkable promptitude to assume charge of the city government. They met at the Court House at five o'clock, A . M., on Tuesday, and elected J. H. Separk, Mayor. Major Basil Manly was an aspirant, but was wire-worked and beaten, and there has been much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the Demo cratic aristocracy at the result. The triumph of a poor man and me chanic over a scion of the house of Manly considerably disgruntled thein. But oil was poured over tneir wounds at a subsequent meet ing. Major Manly was elected Chief of Police. How have the mighty fallen ! However infamous the manner of their election, it is re freshing to know that- for once the assumed " governing class" have met with an ignominious; defeat in the election of Separk as Mayor.

To th e Editor of th e Era : Mr. E. E. Harris, the father of one of the Democratic poll-holders of the Fifth Ward, has been select- ed by the Democratic Aldermen as Janitor of the Market Building, Among other duties of the said Janitor, is the cleansing- of spit toons, the emptying of slops, build ing fires, furnishing water for. the Mayor's office, and in fact the gen eral duties of a menial. This is, beyond question, a No. 1 appoint ment. The son assisted in the dir ty work of the election, and now the father is selected to do the dirty work for the elected. They are truly hewers of wood and draw ers of water" for their Democratic masters. . JJEW ADVEUTISEMEXTS. OFFICE UNITED STATES MARSHAL Eastern District of North Carolina. Raleigh, May 3d, 1875.
