Afteu all the denials we have
hwirdof the existence of a KirKIux
Klan on the part of 44 the (peculiar)
friends of good government," the
introduction of the 1 Alamance
amnesty bill in the Senateyesterday
by Senator Allen, of Duplin, is par
ticularly refreshing.
The advocacy of this measure by
Democratic , Senators, liopresenta-
tives, organs ana triounes, is a
complete vindication of the Repub
lican Dartv.and the Ku Klux legisla
tion of Congress; as it isalso a timely PP16 should becalled upon to pass
nmtinn on tho nrt of thfi fiforft- through another revolution, and per-
as that is the great game, and
the scheme to amend the Con
stitution fraught with great dan
ger to the State and the liberties
and rights 'of the poor people of
North Carolina, let the Republicans
of this Legislature plant themselves
fair and square against any and all
measures of Democratic origin look
ing to any change or alteration
whatever in the present State Con
stitution.
Better that the Democratic Sena

from the hands of avenging justice.
That Cemmittee is composed of five
Democrats, Messrs. Allen, Merri-
mon, Flemming, Dunham and
Scott, who drew and reported a
substitute for the originall bill,
which substitute is published in the
Era to-day.
The two 'Republicans of the Ju
diciary Committee, Messrs. Grandy
and Seymour, appear to have never
seen the bill until the substitute
was read in the Senate yesterday.

Constitutional Amendments.
The conduct of the Democratic
party last Winter in its infamous
gerrymander of the State, wilful
and criminal .neglect of the State
debt, and the attempt to 4gag" the
Republican party by forcing, as a
whole, an abnoxious and objec
tionable bill, amending the Consti
tution, proposing to sweep away
some of the most wholesome pro
visions of our organic law, in effect
revolutionizing, upsetting and over
turning the State government, to-'
gether with the circumstances that
at present surround us, absolve the
Republicans from usiv and all obli
gation to vote for any measure pro
posing to amend the Constitution of
North Carolina, in the slightest par
ticular, whatever.
To repeal the clause in the Con
stitution relative to the State debt
at the present time, and under the
circumstances, would look like a
step in the direction of repudiation,
necessarily work great injury to the
State, and perhaps defeat all chance
for a liberal compromise with our
public creditors.
The office of Superintendent of
Public Works, at a salary of twenty-
live dollars per month, is not a very
grievous burden to the tax-payers
of the State, if it were a totally use
less odice. But it can be made a
position of great importance to the
State, so long as she has any public
work under construction. A peni
tentiary is building. Better put the
Superintendent of Public Works in
charge of that work than abolish
his office. An assistant architect is
drawing a salary of two thousand
five hundred dollars a year, out
there, but what else is he doing?
Let the Superintendent of Public
Works go there, do the work and
abolish the skiHed architect of Moses
Bledsoe's creation.
By the present infamous gerry
mander of the Senate and Congres
sional Districts, a large body of the
qualified voters of the State are vir
tually disfranchised, probably not
less than one third, and they, must
so remain for ten years, unless there
is a census of the State taken in
1875. Better undergo the expense
of takinsr a census than that one
third of the free people of North
Carolina should be disfranchised,
and practically without representa
tion in the State Legislature and
Congress, for ten years.
Bi-annial sessions of the Legisla
ture is a proposition a large body of
our people desire carried into effect,
but this the Democrats do not now
want, and this, as with some few
other propositions the Republicans
could support, the Democrats do
not intend they shall have a chance
at, except by classification with pro
positions looking to the overturn
ing of the present Judicial system
of the State. .... h
It is perfectly apparent now, that,
the Democratic heart is get on the
judicial offices of the State, -and

A N. C. Country School House.
Here's your North Carolina country
school house. Let those gentlemen who
are tonguey and gassy in electioneering
over political matters see if they can't
get up a nice little speech on this. It
sits just back in the woods three miles
from McCleansville and is a little dirty
log cabin, the lower sash of the window
entirely out and the upper sash pasted
over with newspapers, while within is
neither desk nor chair but only a few
old oak hewed benches, and not a sign
of a blackboard to make a mark on.
This school house is but a sample of t&e
thousand like it in the State. The
school committee men and the parents
of the children say they are " too poor"
to build better. And yet they put more
money in one tobacco barn than would
take to build two little log affairs such
as this. But one is for their tobacco
that brings them something, and the
other for their children who cost them
something. That's the secret of educa
tion in Norlh Carolina.

What Itichmond Man was It?
The northern school mistresses who
have been down South since the war, as
a general thing have done s.ome good,
and the colored people should be under
lasting obligations for their faithful ser
vices as teachers. But now and then
you find a tartar among them as is in
stanced by the following told us the
other day by a very clever gentleman,
one of the Superintendents who brought
the first batch along just soon after the
close of the war. Said he: There was
one lady along sir, who took everybody
she met by the ears. We were on the
boat coins: to Richmond, and on deck
were some gentlemen returning to that
city from New Orleans, and they had to
go by way of New York, and thence by
boat to Richmond. This lady was nice
in all other particulars, but she was
high in politics, and would have her say.
She was talking pretty glib about the
"rebels" and I went to her and remon
strated, I saw the gentlemen didn't like
it, but she "let out" on me and declared
she would talk as she pleased. So I let
her alone, but she caught it after awhile,
and I was glad of it. Just as we were
in sight of Richmond, she stepped up to
one of the gentlemen, who had been
" hearing her talk," and said she: " Is
that man in front of you a yankee or a
rebel?" lie turned round to her, -he
looked like he couldn't say anything,
because she was a lady, but sir, his face
looked more lightning and smoke
in it than I ever saw in ten batteries, and
he answered her, " He is neither, mad
am, he is a Confederate." I went up to
him to apologize, but instead of that, he
apologized for speaking so sharp to her.
And after we .got off at Richmond, he
showed me over the city, and gave me
his name, and pointed ont to me liis
house, a large fine house it wa3, and
asked me to come and see him. J. have
forgotten his name. We went to Staun
