THE ERA. Official Orjrnu of tlic United State. w. ar. mtowK, Manager. ItALKIGH, Cs THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1875. An Election for Delegate to num ber one Hundred and Twenty, to amend the Con.tltutlon of the state, will bo held onThnr-dajr, the 3tuof Anrun. 1S7S. The Conven tion will meet at Italelffh, on the tith of the follotvlnjr September. Constitution, by which the sense of a majority of the people of the State may be clearly ascertained, and their wishes carried out, in re la! ion to the manner of electing said ofllcers or any of them." Hon. I). M. Barrinser delivered :i speech in the House of Commons in 1SC1. from which we quote as follows : 14 If wo call a Convention, that rail mu.t be. absolute, and not con ditional. The Legislature cannot c-outrol tbe sovereigns, but can call them together in pursuance or the Constitution." Ietall who formerly act'.-d with the old line Democracy and who now propose to join with the revo lutionists of this State in depriving the people of the power of electing their Judges and magistrates, read and reflect over the following .ex tract from the message of Uovernor lleic, of date November 20th, lS-'A: "The election of Judges and Jus tices of the Peace by the people, and for terms less than for life, are also questions of reform, which I recommend to the favorable con sideration of the (ioneral Assem bly." The question of a call of a Con vention did not enter into the cam paign when the members of the late legislature were before the I (tuple for election. Therefore the Rue has leen sprung upon the voters of the State as to whether a change in our present Constitution is desirable. lion. Aa Iiigg, in his speech in the State Senate, in December, 1 $."!, on Mr. (Indium's Convention bill, said : 44 Whether a majority of the peo ple are discontented with the Con stitution m it in and desire a change, is a question that ought to be ascer tains! antecedent to any legislative action lor altering the law." organic AVe invite the iKople of North Carolina to carefully mid the fol lowing extract from a speech deliv ered by (iovernor Bragg, in thecity of Ualeigh, on the first day of June, IS'. It sounds an alarm which every man who lsas the good of the Old North State at heart should ponder over in the present crisis. When we take into consid eration the fact that the revolution ists rejected the legislative mode of amending the Constitution and urged the call of a Convention, for the ostensible purpose of making a few and unimportant changes, it may readily ue inierreu mat ineir intentions are sinister and pregnant Willi evil to ttie State. Head the extract : 44 A Convention of the people cannot Ik? restricted by the Ijegisla ture. A Convention may make most unexpected anil unacceptable changes in the Constitution, and the leopIecaii have no remedy." Had the Democrats of the last Legislature that great confidence in the icople which they so much tie- light to prate about, they would doubtless have submitted the ques tion of railing a Convention, for IKipular ratification or rejection. Neither of the old parties would have dared to ignore the opinions of the voters of the State upon a matter of such vital importance. As a proof of this statement, we give the following extract from the proceedings of a Whig Convention in 1852: VY.ort , That in the opinion of this Convention, whenever amend ments are to be made to our State Constitution, they should be effect tl by a Convention of the people elected on the basis of the House of Commons; and we are in favor of submitting it to the people to say whether a, Convention should be called or not, for the purpose of making amendments to our Constitution." It is generally conceded, and by some openly avowed, that one of the main objects of the anti-recon-struetionisti?, in case they should obtain a majority in the approach ing Convention, is to transfer the power of electing judges and other oflicers from the people to the Legis lature. In order to recall to the minds of some of our readers who were iden tified with the old Whig and Dem ocratic parties of North Carolina nearly twenty-five years ago, the views then entertained by many of the most prominent men in relation to this question, we publish an ex tract from what was entitled the 44 Western Address," issued in the early part of 1831 and signed by such men its J. U. Dynum, N. W. Woodfin, J. M. A. Drake, John A. Gilmer, Peter Adams, J. M. Ieach and J. II. Hampton. The senti ments therein set forth in regard to tho judicial system were generally :ircented bv all parties, and it is I B hardly to be supposed that the peo pie of the State are less zealous of popular rights now than they were in those days when the slave ans tocracy held undisputed sway. e earnestly invite the attention of w such old line Whigs and Democrats as are now fraternizing with the present revolutionary party in North Carolina to the extract, in the hope that the inconsistency of their present position may lead to serious reflection. We quote from the address as follows : 44 Many of our citizens are greatly opposed to the election of Judges by the Legislature, as is required by the Constitution. It cannot be disguised that our Legislature has, in many instances, been the scene of intrigues entirely at war with our ideas of the purity of the bench, and in which it was shown that neither character nor qualification was made the test for fitness for of fice, but simply party services. Legislatures are small bodies, usual ly elected upon political party grounds, and that too frequently at the sacrifice of the best interests of the people. Under these circum stances many believe that the peo ple would be the safest depositories of this power. The opportunity and facility for corruption and in trigue would not exist, and the people, in acting, would not be in fluenced by the fear of denunciation or punishment of party men. The system lias been tried in many States of the Union, and found tol operate so well, that it is much to be doubted whether it will not in time be adopted in all. Others, too, think ihat they ought to hold cfliee for a limited period. There is no officer known to our laws, but who is limited to a short period, after which his power is laid down at the feet of those from whom lie received it; and in determining whether they will again place him in power, they pass upon the man ner in which "his duties have been discharged. Many of these offices are of the highestcharacterand im portance, and equally ret miring in the incumbent, purity and integrity of character. No evils have result ed from giving the election of these officers to the people; and certainly no corruption of the people, nor of the officer, lias been tne consequence." not? If they are not, then they are airain attemntincr the role of 1861 ; if they are, then tho Watch man has taken an unwarrantable use of their names, for which an explanation should be sought. There is no retreat now, gentle men. You must speak out. The people want an explanation and you must make it. lcatli of John C. If rcekhiridffe. This gentleman died at his residence, in Kentucky, a few days since, in the o-th year of his age. General Breckinridge has held many Tiigh positions under the government of the United States. In 18.36 he was elected Vice Presi dent on the Democratic ticket with James Buchanan. In 18C0, he was nominated for the Presidency by the Southern wing of the Demo cratic party, and received the votes of most of the Southern States in that memorable contest. Just be fore the close of the rebellion he was made Secretary of War for the Confederate States, but at a time when no exertion on prove of any avail the secession cause. to say, that General Breckinridge did not enter without distrust into the cause of disunion, and it was only when all hope of reconcilia tion was abandoned that he resign ed his seat in the United States Senate and returned home to share the fortunes of Kentucky. How ever widely we may have differed with him in his political course, his gallant and unselfish devotion to the cause he believed to be just must entitle him to general respect. his part could in advancing It is but just Important. The attention of all concerned is called to Section 15, Schedule B, of the State Revenue law now in force, which reads as follows: 44 Every National bank, State bank. Savings hank, or association conducting a business as contem plated in this section, any private banker, ageut of a foreign bankeror broker, every money, exchange, bond or note broker, whether op erating as corporations or associa tions, or privately as individuals, and such insurance companies as are incorporated by the State, in addi tion to the ad valorem tax on their capital invested, shall pay annually a tax according to capital employed, as follows : On a capital of one hundred thousand dollars or more, two hundred dollars ; on a capital of fifty thousand doilani and less than one hundred thousand dollars, one hundred dollars; on a capital of twenty-five thousand dollars and less than fifty thousand dollars, fifty dollars ; on a capital of less amount than twenty-five thousand dollars, twenty-five dollars, and also ten dollars additional for each ! county in which they have an I agency, said taxes to be paid to the j State Treasurer.

On failure to comply with the provisions of this section, said banks, 'companies or persons shall pay as taxes two thousand dollars, to be collected by the Treasurer of the State." The following is the reply of Governor Brogden to a letter from the editor of the New York Herald in relation to tho Centennial Exhi bition at Philadelphia in 187G': State of North Carolina, Executive Department, Raleigh, April 28, 1875. To the Editor of the Herald : Dear Sir: I have received your letter in relation to the coming Centennial Exhibition at Philadel phia, inquiring what arrangements North Carolina has made for the purpose of securing representation in the Exhibition; also what in dustries, types of manufacture, pro ducts, mining ores or accomplished invention will be exhibited from this State. I hope that many of our liberal and patriotic citizens will use their mean3 and efforts to have North Carolina well represented in all the departments of useful industry and skill, so that there may be some living evidence of our growth and progress during the past hundred years. We are part of our great National Union, and rejoice in its nrojrress and prosperity. More has been done for the improvement of the condition of mankind, for the advancement of our material re sources, and for the development of the arts and sciences in the United States during the last fifty years than has been done by all the na tions of Europe within the last five hundred years. I hope that our agricultural, me chanical and manufacturing mdus tries may all be well represented, and that the administration of our charitable and benevolent institu t ions, our asylums, schools and prisons, our chambers of com merce, our agricultural societies, our institutions of science and learning, and all our diversified in dustries may be brought promi nently in view, in order that our advancement, growth and progress may be better seen and known. It will afford the most favorable op nortunity tnat our state nas ever had to advertise herself to the world, to present some reliable informa tion concerning her means and re sources, and to invite immigration and capital from other countries to locate among us. Feeling much anxiety for North Carolina to participate with her sister States in the celebration of our national Centennial, I sent a special message to the Legislature upon this subject; but that body failed to give any assistance to our people to contribute to the Exhibi tion. I shall appeal to our leading citi zens, who have a deep and lively interest in the prosperity and wel fare of the. whole country, to en courage and sustain this noble en terprise by their patronage and support. I regard the Centennial of our American Declaration of Independ ence as the greatest event in the interest of peace and friendship that has ever occurred in our national history. Believing, as I do, that it will exercise a most favorable and beneficial influence and effect in promoting concord, union and har mony, I hail n wiui povvejr to joy, and will promote its do all in my success. I am pleased with the industry, ability and influence which the Herald is exerting to make our great National Centennial Exhibi tion what it ought to be, and, as I trust it will be, the pride and admi ration of the world. The Herald deserves well of the country for its persistent and pow erful advocacy of the Centennial. I have the honor to be, very re spectfully, your obedient servant, C. II. Brogden. very creditable manner. Frank Giles was the first who was called out, and delivered a splendid de clamation. .Little Minerva Jeffries and Sammie Brown were the first to call forth applause, by their dia logue, 44 Helping papa and mama." Master A. Manly gave the temper ance alphabet; applying the twenty six letters to the different stages of a drunkard's life, in a very ludi crous, yet truthful way. The poeti cal dialogue between Masters Eddie Green and ; Eddie Hunter was spoken very nicely. Master Willie Curtis' declamation on 44 a little elbow room " called forth much ap plause. Master Providence Bun combe made a speech on the thief and placed him in a very bad light before his audience. Miss Laura Curtis read a piece of prose (." In the twilight ") in a loud, articulate and smooth tone of voice and with such due regard to emphasis, mod ulation and punctuation, that it re flected great credit upon her, as a good reader. A play, entitled 44 Richard tho III," taken from Shakespeare, was performed by Miss K. Ligon, Master MeCauley and others, in a very pleasing, tra gical and admirable way. The dia logue 44 True Charity," bv Miss Mary Jeffries, A. Manly, B. Elli son, F. Nash and others, taught a lesson worth remembering, while it afforded 44 lots of fun." The French dialogue, by Miss K. Ligon, L. Cur tis, S. Brodie, R. MeCauley and others, was the most attractive fea ture of the evening. It was quite a novelty to hear them fluently con versing in the French language. The song 44 Jasper Sea," sung by Miss E. Brodie, L. Curtis and N. Jeffries, was spoken of as being the best piece of music of the evening. C. Hunter made a capital speech on rum. Miss K. Ligon, one of our most talented young ladies, read a verv fine piece of poetry, entitled 44 Tire Belle of Atri." Time would not allow, and I doubt whether space would be granted, for a full report of such a literary treat as that of Friday evening, hence I have given in a brief way some of the principal pieces. That exhibi tion speaks volumes of praise for Miss Louisa S. Dorr and her faithful Assistants, Misses Page and Pearly. It was an evidence of the fact, that their patient labors for the past two years in our midst have not been in vain. And we believe we speak the sentiments of all connected with this school when we say we hope they may return next session. They donated the proceeds, $27.15, to the Church and Sunday school; thus they are helping us not only intel lectually but pecuniarily. There was so much confusion in the house, caused by disinterested persons, that we could not hear at all times, which will account for mistakes, if any, in this notice, we are sorry to say that some persons in the back part of the church behaved unusu ally bad, and more than once they were warned of their shameful con duct. I call no names, but dare to say, tnat tne law protects sucn places and entertainments, and it is not well to trespass upon them. O. Jl., Jit. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. AFOKTinVEIX IT.

Wo Gill the attention of such old lino Whigs 3 are now Co operating w ith the revolutionists in their at tempts to deprive the people of the privilege of electing their judicial aud executive oflieers, to the follow ing extracts from the proceedings of the Whig Convention of 18o0. The views entertained at that time were concurrred in by Governor Graham and other prominent Whigs. Do these gentlemeu believe that the people are Itss entitled to the ballot in 1S75 than in 18ol? This is what we call retrograding with a ven geance. Read the extracts: And chertas many peo ple of tho State have indicated a de sire that the present mode of elect ing Judges of the Supreme and &u lerior Courts, Treasurer, Comp troller, Secretary of State, Justices of the Peace and other State officers, .hall bo changed so as to give the election of said officers directly to the people themselves ; and ic hereon, the voice of the people, without distinction of party, should be con sulted in this, as in every other matter involving an alteration or amendment to the Constitution ; JUmvedt in the opinion of this Convention, That the Legislature hhould adopt some mode, in accord -juice with the provisions of tho Oraliam, Craijjc aud Company. 4 The so-called restrictions are not worth the paper on which they were written. They are regarded as of no force or consequence by all whose opinion is wortli anything. Fo let the people remember that the Convention when it assembles, will le untrammeled, all powerful, and act accordingly. It is all im portant that the truest Democrats be sent. Such men as Graham and Craige, Gaither and Shober, Davis and Graves will make the people of North Carolina a Constitution that will be acceptable to our peo ple. Send forward men of brains and nerve." There is more meaning in the above, fromtheCarolina Watchman than would probably strike the reader at first glance. The declara tion that the restrictive features of the Convention act are not binding is no new one. That paper has fre quently made the same assertion and seems determined to fight out the campaign on that line. In the fore going extract, however, it will be readily perceived that Messrs. Gra ham, Craige, Gaither, Shober, Da vis and Graves, shining lights of Democracy, are put down as enter taining the same belief as the Watchman. The statement is not made directly, it is true, but, after calling upon the people to remem ber that the Convention will be un trammeled, these gentlemen are named as proper delegates to serve them. It can hardly be supposed that the Watchman would have taken the liberty of committing the gen tlemen named to its iolicy of set ting aside the provisions of the act, unless it had had some understand ing with them in regard to the sub ject. . We think this Convention plot begins to thicken. The true, inten tions of the leaders of the anti reconst ruction is ts begin to leak out. The people of North Carolina have the right to demand an explanation of Messrs. Graham, Craige, Gaither aud company. Are these gentlemen in favor of keeping faith and regard ing the express terms under which tho act ail ling a Convention of the peoplejof (ho State was passed or COKKKSPONI13NCJ3. Item ember, the Carolina Hutch man declares that the restrictions in the Convention act are not worth the paper on which they are v rit ten, aud calls upon all Democrats who may be elected to the Conven tion to disregard them. The Watchman wants such Democrats as Graham, Craige, Gaither, Sho ber, Davis and ti raves in the Con vention, thereby intimating that these gentlemen entertain similar views. Will they deny the impu tations of the Watchman, or will they, by silence, allow the impres sion to go forth that they are at tempting to drag the people of North Carolina into a conflict ? Is the old role of 18GI to be re-enacted? Speak, gentlemen, the people demand it. It must not be understood that The Era endorses the sentiments of its correspond ents in every instance.

It would be well for our Republican exchanges to pre serve the paper for future reference, or, what would be better, to copy from it to such an extent as their columns will allow. The extracts referred to have been obtained only after much research, and, as the tiles containing them are not to be found in many localities, they are well worth preserving. Wheu the Convention lyeets, let it resolve unanimously not to take the oath required by the .Legislature, and proceed forthwith to frame a Constitution every way suitable to the people of the State.--Western JZrpositor. Freemen of North Carolina, are you not now satisfied that no con fidence can b6 placed in any word spoken, printed or thought by your Democracy? With them the most solemn obligations go for nothing. They are as false to an oath as they are to their country. They cry aloud for fair dealing, and stab you in the back as soon as you believe them. Is it too late to successfully implore the people that they make sure of their i m peril led liberties by summoning to the work all their manhood, t heir good sense and their patriotism? Vote down the men who preach this crusade against your most precious privileges. We want no Convention, and let as have none. Pioneer. To the Editor of the Era : Is the Republican party going to organize to defeat the change of the Constitution ? The change that the Democrats are so anxious to make in our fundamental law, will, in my opinion, be injurious to a large majority of the citizens of the State. Much of the power guaranteed to the people will be taken away from them forever and given to the Leg islature. The people should look with a jealous eye to their liberties, secured by the present Constitution. Is it not reasonable to suppose that the Democrats will engraft many aristocratic features in the amend ments? In my opinion, it is. Ever since the adoption of the present Constitution they have been clam oring for the whipping post. Nearly all tho new rights conferred upon the people, they oppose. Have the people forgotten the tune when none but those who held a freehold "in land could vote for a Senator, or serve on jury? Many other rights now conferred on the people were denied under the old Constitution. The people are fast becoming recon ciled to the new Constitution. What they want is a permanent govern ment and no curtailing of their rights. Although the Republican party litis made some blunders, yet, in the main, they have been always right. Let us then reorganize and march on to victory. L. C. M. May 15. 1875.
