We notice that, some of the pa-,-rsofthe country are dbscusains the propriety of so amending the constitution of the United States as m provide for the appointment of judged for a term of years, instead of allowing: a life tenure, We most heartily concur in the proposal. We have always thought that the appointment of judges for lifrt was in direct oppXjsition to our republican form of government. It H not contended that any consider able number of the people of North Carolina would agree to return to the system that once prevailed in ihi State in relation to judicial t-nure of office, and it Is known, Miat in any State where the people have been allowed a voice in the 'matter they have elected to choose tfuir judges for a specified time. Vf do not see why the operations J our federal system should not be i i accord with the several States in thi-respect. This matter of hold ', office for life should not bo al S i wed in a free Republic. Although we are wilMng to admit th-t nmny iiin who have been appointed for lif ' make most excellent and mot upright judges, yet, in some in itancs, the people have been forced to submit to the whim-:, fa prices :uul childish imbecility of soper ai.nuahd old fosi!s ithout the least chance of being rid of them except tl-rnugb death. Some of these in ,,i io s have existed in North Caro lina to an almost insufferable ex t':t. It need not be urgd that :uy provision ailowings'.iper.inntmt ;! jii'lge? to retire when their ph.i ra! r meiitril inability requires it u i I remedy the evil. Juilge, like tt hr men, have all the vanity inci l"t t( human nature, aiul they are not disposed to acknowledge any "deficiency either of their physi cal hv mental qualifications. Wh.it th' people would declare plain iv-s of incompetency would be N.-'ally imperceptible to them. We Imp that Congress will en- 'ivor to perfect our republican -ytem of government by propos i u' an amendment to the Constitu tion looking to a remedy of the v i I . We are confident that the rij lired number of States would latify it without much hesitation. Ily reference to our latest news "''!umiis it will be seen that Senator Merriinon, of this State, has intro !uch1 a bill to repeal all statutes which forbid the payment of ien--ions to such persons as may have !en instrumental in bringing on v late rebellion or participated In tlie -ame, and also to repeal all laws u hkh prevent the payment of ,;aiiiH held by such persons con-' ru tetl prior to April 13, 1861. TIih, we p.-esutne, Is the Initiato-r-" ftep towards paying for lost -Uvfs, or perhaps it is intended to r fiqfemate the faithful for all losses ini urr d on account of their not br hiirahie to carry their'4 niggers into the territories." If Merriinon had Erased the same zeal in trying to avc the Homesteads of tlio poor people of North Carolina as he is " in trying to reimburse wealthy rr iitur., perhaps his senatorial ser vicvs would be more highly appre ciated. We committed -an error in our lost Isiue in classing Kerr, the new b'eUoIed Speaker of th House of H?preientative?, is a war Democrat. He is reported to have been a cop perhead of tin deepest dye. Thus"' 11 i, that the Northern Democracy are again pandering to the old slave power of the Sout h. We may soon 4 ipect to hear of many ex-Confed -;rate officers hanging around Wash "'Ston to gather up what little pap lhe House may have to bestow. We should not be much surprised lf 'lear that the do jrkeepers, pages, had been ordered to prepare di .m-selves with uniforms of Con-;t-utrate gray.- How humiliating tin great nation is the political '"plexion of the National House r Uepresentative. Uhat men want Is not talent, J is purjfose; in other words, not ne power to achieve, but the will to labor. Jiitftccr. VOL. V. Ji. C. ICailroad. j Col. A. S. Buford, President of! the Richmond and Danville Rail- j road, at a late meeting of the stock- j noiuers in menmona, a., suomit- ted a full report of the operations of the company. We extract the fol lowing In relation to the N. C. Di vision : The rolling stock has since been changed at the company's shops, and the whole line is now placed in the best possible relations, so far as facilities for prompt and economi cal transportation are concerned, not only with the main line of this com pany between Greensboro and Richmond, but also with the ex tensive and divergent system of railways now in operation from Charlotte, south and southwest, to and through theentire limits of the States in that portion of the Union. The aggregate cost of these changes i amounts to about the sum of $00, 7G.M4. The accompanying reports show in full detail the operations for one year of this division of the com pany's property : It will be seen that the earnings of this division for the year as reported are, f-'fiZ, OS The working expenses for the same period are, 40D,750.08 Decrease of net earnings for the year, .3,5S1.71 Several causes have concurred to produce this considerable decrease of net income. The short crops of 1874 suffered by that State as well as this, inducing a diminished local travel, and a contracted prosecu tion of various branches of industry, has shown here also its inevitable depress i n g i n f hi e n ce o n 1 1 1 e i n t e res t s of transportation. The completion and opening of the Carolina Central railway to Charlotte early in the present year has created a new competition for the business of that place and its vicinity and connec tions, with a consequent diversion of a p r:Ion of the traffic emanat ing or controlled from that point; the results of which have been ag- j gravated most unwisely and in juriously to ail interests concerned, bv a svstematic cutting of rates, of- ten to a standard wholly unremun- erative to the carrier. 11 It h hoped that with the usual production and trade of the country, and the adoption of a more prudent and conservative policy by the dif ferent competitors for the business of Charlotte and the country south of it (which has already been in augurated) the revenues of thisdi vision will be fully restored and maintained at a standard sufficient to meet all the obligations of the company on account of the lease, without aid from other sources." Wh.xt a Crew! The late Convention was called without the consent of the people. Not only this, but the vote on the election of delegates proved that the people were largely opposed to it. It would seem, therefore, that if the Democratic party were really desirous of carrying out the wishes of the voters of the State the Con vention would have adjourned without action. In order, however, to soften the feeling which natural ly prevails against them they pro posed and passed an amendment prohibiting the call of a Convention in the future without first submit ting the question to the ieople. This was done in order to bolster up the other infamous propositions which are to be voted upon next year, if they were unwilling to have a Convention against the wish es of the people why did they not say so before? This new dodge will hardly hold water. Joe Davis, the Democratic mem ber of Congress from this district, has been heard from in the shape of a bill to allow payment to trait ors for claims held against the gov ernment. This is a second to the Merrimon movement, and is anoth er effort for revenge against the gov ernment because 44 niggers could not no carneu uiio nit- li-iuiwa-j. We may look out soon for a bill ! directly proposing pay for the 44 Je- i culiar institution." This idea is a i ruling one with the Democracy, j .How would the hard working me- ; ehaiiias and laboring men of this ' district like to be taxed to pay for j -the lost slave.-i of Joe Davis, ft id onne genus t The proceedings of a meeting of Republicans held in Pittsboro, Chatham county, on the 4th inst., have been received, but owing to misunderstanding in relation to the call and the absence of entire unity as regards the nature of the resolu tions adopted, we decline publica tion of; the same. While we feel called upon, at all times, to aid in any manner in our power the mic cess of the great principles of our party, we must decline to take any part In personalities. - " Then j I saw in my dream that it is muph easier going out. of our Way when we are in it, than get tinginto it when wij.are out of it. fiunyan, l RALEIGH, N. C, 4' Settled Society." In a recent article in the Raleigh .we fiml be following para- KI?.e offer to tht. emijrrant a miId and healthy climate, ebeai lands. abundant facility of inter-commu mention, settled society, with schools and churches, and every thing that would make the position of a new ettler comfortable. Why will they hesitate? Why will they rush off to the bleak northwest when they would be so much netter off by seeking the sunny sooth ' " The answer is very plain: The course of just such journals as the Raleigh Xeics, and of the bitter Kii ticians who express the same views, turn emigrants away from the Sunny South." This newspaper is unwilling for men to vote as they please, and boldly," with almost blasphemous language, advises so cial ostracism to such as choose to 44 vote with the niggers." We have not forgotten its infamous article published soon after the late elec tion. If there Is such as 44 Settled Society" in North Carolina, it is not because of the teachings of the Raleigh Aeics. Yet in spite of its vituperation and abuse of white Re publicans, the country is gradually receiving northern settlers; and the more it fills up with the liberal minded, independent men of that section, the less influence will such illiberal sheets have in the south. Kxchanfe. 44 The Song of the Shirt." An anecdote, which Mark Lemon loved to tell, related to the period when Tom Hood brcamo a contri butor to Punch. Looking over his letters one morning, he opened a letter inclosing a poem, which the writer said had been rejected by three contemporaries. If not thought available for Punch, he begged the editor, whom he knew but slightly, to consign it to the waste-paper bas ket, as the author was 44 sick of the sight of it." The poem was signed 44 Tom Hood," and the lines were entitled 11 The Song of the Shirt." The work was altogether different Irom anything that had ever ap peared in Punch, and was consider- i ed so much out of keeping with the spirit of the periodical that at the weeKiy meeting us puuiicaiiou was opposed by several members of the staff. Mark Lemon, however, was so firmly impressed not only with the beauty of the work, but with its suitability for the paper that he stood by his first decision and published it. By a letter written by Tom Hood to Mark Lemon, which we have for the moment mis laid, it appears that the question of illustrating the poem was enter tained and discussed. The lines, however, were published without illustration, except that humorous border of grotesque figures which made up 44 Punch's Procession " on the l(th of December, 1843. 44 The Song of the Shirt " trebled the sale of the paper, and created a profound sensation throughout Great Britain. London Society. Circulate our Papers. The late President Lincoln wisely and sententiously described our form of government to be 44 of the people, for the people, and by the people." To be safe and secure, the people ought to be made in telligent, not alone in respect to education but in the principles un derlying a Republican form of gov ernment. A government such as ours is always in danger from that ignorance which is not merely illit erate,but which shuts out all widen ing influences ol active knowl edge, by repressing enterprise and barring the road to liberalizing in fluences. Republicans have been too in different in scattering abroad among the masses correct political infor mation. It is too late to do this work after an active canvass opens. It should begin now, during the calm. People will read, will pon der, are onen to conviction. The truth properly presented dnring j the next six months will aecom- j plish more among the honest mas- i ses than twenty times the effort j after the exciting campaign opens, j Then see to it that Republican j newspapers are circulated as wide- i ly as possible. Carolinian. ' 'The intelligent juror' made his! appearance the other day in the Scannel case, and being asked if he j had any eoncientiou3 scruples on j the subject of capital punishment, stated that he 'was sick at the time and did not read the papers.' On further investigation it was found that ho did not know what capital punishment was. Y. Y. Tribune. Be not afraid of those trials which God may see fit to send upon thee. Jt is with the wind and the storm of tribulation that God, in the gar ner of the soul, separates the true wheat from the chaff. Always re member, therefore, that God comes to thee in thy sorrows as really as in thy joys. He lays low and He builds up. 44 We need schools, ploughs, and cows," was the motto on the ban ner of the Kiowas, in a recent Ag ricultural Fair at Muscogee, Indian Territory. It is a suggestive text for more people than the Indians. The school, the plough, and the cow are more to a country than gold mines and bonanzas. They say that within the last j twenty-five years Mr. Chauncey j Rose, of Terre Haute, Jnd., has! given away $2,000,000 for charitable and educational purpo-es. It is to j be regretted that this country hasn't j a whole bouquet of such Roses. THURSDAY She can't sit down," said a fe male custom-house inspector atNew York the other day, asshe observed a lady who - had just come off a Hamburg steamer, standing on the wharf. The new arrival was pret ty, but she looked very weary. They took her, protesting against the outrage, into a dressing room, and penetrating the mysteries of her make-up, they discovered that from her waist down she was a solid mas3 of smuggled hair. Luscious golden tresses twined themselves around her dainty limbs and surged up to her waist, mingling with ra ven locks and auburn ringlets. The officers stripped her, and she then was able to sit down. She was im porting the plunder for a fashion able Broadway human hair dealer. Courier Journal. Whittier sent this response re cently to a request for his auto graph : "Our lives are albums, written through With good or ill, with false or true; And as the blessed pages turn The pages of our years, God grant they read the good with smiles, And blot the ill with tears !" At an Iowa Sunday school the superintendent was reviewing the lesson, and was talking of the verse, "Let your loins be girded and your lights burning." He asked the question, 44 Why are we command ed to gird our loins?" One little fellow sung out, 4lTo keep your breeches up." OFFICIAL UNITED STATES MAIL.
