The "Work of the Convention. Concluded.) To the Editor of the Era : There is no portion of the Ameri can system of government dearer to the people, or that comes home to them more fully and beneficially, than the system of local self-government now existing in North Carolina. It is the foundation upon which other States have arisen into consequence and increased In all the elements of greatness, beyond even the dreams of theorists, within comparatively recent periods, and yet, this is the feature of the Con stitution aerainst which the especial champions of the rights of the poo- presentedto them openly and di-. redly? The proposed amendment in relation to county and municipal governments la loudly proclaimed to the, people. of;theState as the great work of the;' Convention, and really ; It Is th&great work, and in my humble opinion if adopted will provo the fruitful source of woes unnumbered, In many directions not dreamed of by the honest and confiding patrioU who have hereto fore reposed confidence in leaders assuming the name and professing the principles of a pure democracy. Great principles of civil liberty and popular rights (except under an ex traordinary combination of circum stances) aro never secured except at long intervals and after repeated ef forts, and when once obtained are never surrendered into thehnnds of power with any degree of safety, or without a struggle, involving the integrity of the political organism. Such ha3 been thus far, and such (no doubt) will be the completed history of the great principle in volved in the proposed amendment of the Convention submitting our system of county governments to the discretion of the Legislature, should the majority of the people be so unfortunate as to permit themselves to be deceived and de luded by the hypocritical appeals of the leaders of a false and pretended democracy. If the balance of their boasted reforms were all stamped with the signet of perfection, this insincere and unholy attack upon the dearest rights of the people ought to be (and no doubt will be) sufficient to cause them to rise in their political strength and vote down all the proposed amendments, submitted as a whole and in com bination, rightly estimating that the scanty savings of a few dollars, in the salaries of Judges and the pay of members of the Legislature, are or small moment; compareu to the great principles involved and which have cost so much blood and treasure. Native. Tweod'jS Faithful Wife. They were married when the man was a chairmaker; and they might have had a happy career had the former remained -honest. ; They lived in a .plain manner, mingled with mechanics society, and were the parents fof two boys and two girls, - good-looking ! and healthy children. . The era of the mettri cous splendor has come and gone like a dream. The girls are mar ried. Each had a diamond wed ding and each has sunk into obscur ity and poverty. The two sons once held fine appointments in the service of the ring, but they are now only lounging around the City Hall. The mother is in widow's desolation. The ill-gotten wealth is almost all gone. A million and a half has passed into the hands of her lawyers, and her husband is still a prisoner. A seedy and cor pulent old man, inhabiting a pair of rooms in Ludlow Street Jail, is all that Is left of one who has been alderman, Congressman, chair-maker and law commissioner of parks, public buildings and docks, State Senator, and for seven years the au tocrat of this city; The only re deeming feature is the faithful wife, who is reducing herself to poverty in hope of obtaining her husband's release. From a New York Letter. Success. ; , Purposes, however wise without plans, cannot be relied on for good results. Random or spasmodic ef forts, like aimless shots are Usually no better than wasted time and strength. The purposes of shrewd men in the business of this life are always followed by carefully form ed plans. Whether the object is learning, honor or wealth, the ways and means are all laid out according to the best rules and methods. The mariner has his chart, the architect his plan, and the sculptor his mod els and all as a means and condition of suecess. Invention, genius, or even what is sometimes called in spiration, can do little in any de partment of theorectic or practical science, except a3 it works by a well formed plan. The every step is an-advance toward the accom plishment of the object. Every tack of the ship made according to nautical law keeps her steadily nearing the port. Each stroke of the chisel brings the marble into a closer likeness of the model. No effort of time is lost, for nothing is done rashly or at random.

The grand jury was sworn in on Tuesday, the presiding Judge delivering In substance the usual charge. Up to this writing, lion. Hugh L. Bond, the Circuit Judge, has not arrived but Is expected during the week. His presence Is anxiously looked for by all having busi ness In this court. Judge Bond, although a comparative stranger to our people, has, by his uniform courtesy, won the good opinion of rights, which had theretofore all. As a lawyer he has but few superiors In the country, and his firmness of character, devoid as it is of petty prejudices, commands the respect of all with whom he comes in contact. We consider it an es pecial benefit that our portion of North Carolina Is embraced within his circuit. Insane Asylum. We are in debted to Dr. Eugene Griesom for a copy of the report of Superinten dent and Board of Directors of this institution for the official year end ing October 31, 1875. The number of admissions of I males since the opening of the in stitution in 165G, were six hundred and fifty-five : discharges for the same period, five hundred twenty-seven ; remaining on first day of November, 1875, hundred and twenty-eight. number of females admitted ring the period above stated were and the one The du- they were especially opposed to the breaking up of the Township sys tem and the restoration of the county courts and the system of county governments as they existed in other days, they did not have the manliness to propose an amend ment for the purpose of carrying out in detail their real views and objects, but graciously propose to confer upon the Legislature the powers necessary to control the en tire subject, and make such changes and regulations as they in th.Hr wisdom may think proper. Why remove ihe provisions of the pres ent Constitution in relation to coun ty and municipal governments, and give the entire control to the Legis lature? Is not the matter of suffi cient importance to be regulated by the organic law ? In 1872 the ques tion of local self-government was said to be the great question in the politics of this country, before which all others dwindled into in significance. The great and over shadowing issues of the currency, the tariff, free trade, and civil been the rallying cry of the people-lov ing Democracy, were abandoned, and in their stead loomed up in grandest and most majestic propor tions that other single, solitary is sue called local self-government, which it was said and fondly hoped would bring on a tidal wave, which would sweep the last vestige of aris tocracy and centralization from this land of freedom and popular rights. What has occurred within the last three years to overturn this great principle, to render it less import ant, or more prudent to commit its control to indiscreet and changing legislators, rather than the organic law of the Stale? It is much to be feared that the dominant party in the Convention have some ulterior designs beyond what appear upon the surface, in attempting to leave loose and unfettered by proper con stitutional provisions so important a part of the rights of the people rights that have become endeared to them by their own personal ex perience and the practical adminis tration of their every day transac tions and affairs. It may be that they have fears that a majority of the people would not sanction a di rect attack upon their dearest in combination with Gubernatorial. To the Editor of the Era : As our Democratic journals are beginning to announce the names of several distinguished gentlemen of their party for the honors of Gov ernor and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the people in seek ing that position, we have not as yet seen a single name suggested that will satisfy the working-men of this State. As a workingman I say for one we want a workingman, one who has labored with us from the bottom to the top round of the ladder, one whose every interest is identified with the masses ; one who can sym pathize with us in our misfortune, and cheer us in our success, one who has the interest of the old North State at heart and who de sires to see her railroads built up and completed, her farming and mineral resources developed and opened ; and such a man is to be found iu the person of William A. Smith, of Johnston county. If our friends when they come to make a nomination should select the Major he will sweep this State by an over whelming majority. We say to our Republican friends, give us W. A. Smith to support for uovernor in 187G. C. Eating a Necessity. Yes, say you ; for a hungry stom ach is, indeed, most inexorable and clamorous for food, and is not to be put off, or defrauded of its just claims. Some persons are said to live to eat, while others eat to live ; and most of us are content with three meals a day. It is not eating, however, that iiiikes us to live, but breathing, for we have to feed the cells of our lungs with vital air, every moment ; and to cease to breathe, is to cease to live. Yet 44 three courses and a dessert," as well as the other stated refresh ments of the festive board, are not to be ignored so Owen Meredith sings: We ma live without books What is knowledge, but grieving? We may live without hope What is hope, but deceiving ? We may live without love What is passion, but pining ? But where is the man That can live without dining? We may live without poetry, music, and art. We may live Without conscience and live without heart ; We may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

A Beautiful Tribute. At the banquet given to the Board of whole, will pass the ordeal of the people, and that at no very distant day in the future a pliant and sub servient Legislature will complete the grand scheme already begun to their entire satisfaction and the complete overthrow of popular rights in North Carolina. It seems exceedingly strange that it should be considered so important that the Legislature should be limited and controlled In regard to matters of apparently the least Importance, me most purely personal to them The Pardoning Power. The Raleigh Sentinel of last week contains a communication censur ing Gov. Brogden for what is con sidered the too free use of the pard oning power in this District, the case of Ell wood being particularly cited. We know that the Gover nor has pardoned several persons who did not deserve a pardon, but we think he has been deceived by petitions. When at Raleigh recent ly we examined the papers in the Ellwood eas, and were surprised at the powerful and strong petitions for his pardon. The Jurymen who tried the case and eight or ten of the Charlotte lawyers signed the pe tition for pardon, together with hundreds of other good men in this and adjoining counties. With such a petition as that is it any won der the Governor pardoned Ell wood, although Judge Schenck and Solicitor Montgomery disapproved of it? The same may be said in re gard to other pardons by the Gov ernor in Mecklenburg, Gaston and Cleaveland. Very often good men sign petitions without really know ing what they are endorsing, but it deceives the Governor and others. Hereafter we hope our people will be a little more careful how they petition for the release of criminals who should be hanged or sent to the Penitentiary. . We call the attention of the Gov ernor to a matter concerning par dons which 13 important to tax payers that is, - persons who are pardoned should be made to pay or secure the cost of imprisonment, trial, Ac, to each county in which he is tried or in which he commit ted the offence, before being releas ed.
