WEEKLY ERA. THURSDAY, DEC Sth, 1872. The Governor and Moses Bled soe Facts with regard to the Penitentiary Embrogllo. First: The 7th Sec., Art. 3rd of the Constitution is in these' words, 'The officers of the Executive De partment and of the public institu tions of the State 6hall, at least five days previous to each' regular ses sion of the General Assembly, sev erally report to the Governor, who shall transmit such reports, with his message to the General Assembly," Ac Second: The Report of 31. A i Bledsoe, acting President of the Board of Directors, for the Peniten tiary, was not addressed, in the body of it, to the Governor as the Constitution requires, nor was there any letter or note accompanying it requesting the Governor to trans mit it to the. General Assembly; but it was addressed directly to the General Assembly, thereby entirely ignoring, and, as the Governor be lieved, intending to ignore him, (the Governor.)' Third : In order to gi ve 14x. Bled soe an oonortunitv to amend his ) - renort and make it conform to the requirements of the Constitution, it was returned to him and his at tention narticularly called to the above recited clause of the Consti tution. It was also called to his at tention that his report contained discourteous language and expres sions, evidently intended to reflect upon the Executive of the State. It could not be expected that any subordinate would, or could be al lowed to make the Gavernor a ve hicle to carry slanders against him self to a co-ordinate branch of the Government. 1 Fourth : It is true, that on a for mer occasion the Governor did transmit a report of Mr. Bledsoe to the General Assembly without it being addressed as the Constitution required ; but this was done because he believed Mr. Bledsoe did it in ignorance of the Constitution and because the Governor then had no reasons to suspect that Mr. Bledsoe designedly intended to ignore or in sult him not so now, as Mr. Bled soe's entire conduct at the time of the controversy last winter about the Penitentiary, and since, and his false and malicious insinuation in his present report all go to show his evil animus toward the Governor. Fifth : The Governor gave him an opportunity to address his report properly and to couch it in courte ous language, but he refused to do so. Sixth: As proof, that the Gov ernor properly appreciated Mr. Bled soe's motives and intentions, it is only necessary to read his, Mr. B's letter of the 21st November to the General Assembly which accom nan led his report. In it he charges that "much of the insubordination of the convicts, and the responsibil ity for the consequences resulting therefrom is traceable to the Gov ernor." Seventh : On the 6th and 7th pages of his printed report, Bledsoe says, 44 After much inconvenience and damage to the discipline of the prison, and tne death of one of the convicts, an arrangement was ef fected by which funds for the sup port of the prison were paid upon our requisition," evidently intend ing to make the impression upon the Legislature and the public that the Governor issued warrants upon the requisition made by the Board of Directors of vchich he claimed to be President, when he knew such not to be the case, but, on the con trary, that the Governor always persistently refused to recognize any act of his (Bledsoe's) Board, and caused warrants to be issued only upon requisitions made by the Board appointed by the Governor. Eighth: On the seventh page of The K. K. Democracy Smothers the Free Democracy of the West. The Constitution of the leading House and Senate Committees is a fair sample of the "wild justice " which the K. K. Democracy are disposed to dispense to those of their political brethren who were never suspected of that loathsome affilia tion, and who are not Inclined to follow its great leader, Vance. Mr. love of Jackson, Mr. Welch of Ilaywood, and Mr. Bryson of Swain, were never suspected of be ing attached to the Ku Klux. They were men of ability and experience, representative men of their party and of their section. Yet, we find neither of these gentlemen made Chairman of any Important Com mittee. Their section is more in terested in the Railroad legislation of the State than any other section, and in all previous Legislatures, of Davidson County4Its Manu factories Cattle per Mines, &c. ands Cop- The following communication taken from The Baltimore Market Journal, is publishedvat the request of Mr. John T.

Thomasville was founded by the late John W, Thomas, whose enerery and indus try were proverbial. The North Carolina Itailroad I passes through the centre of this town, as well as through the centra of the county. Thomasville is somewhat remarka ble for its extensive Oak Groves, through which the Itailroad passes.

The present is a remarkable exception to this un varying usage, an exception made against the West too, in the House, by an extreme Western man.

He cenu iu 91 u puuuu. his report, Bledsoe says, 44 A case has been taken up to the next term of the Supreme Court to test the right of the General Assembly, un der the constitution, to elect a Board of Directors for the Peniten tiary." But he takes good care not to state the fact that he refused to consent to have a case made up, by counsel on both sides, to be submit' ted to the Supreme Court last June term, in order to get an early adju dication of the question. He also takes good care not to inform the General Assembly and the public how the case got into the Supreme Court. He did not choose to inform them that the Court below decided adversely to his claim and in favor of the Governor's appointees, and that he appealed to the Supreme Court only to delay the final deci sion with the hope that the present General Assembly would legislate further in his behalf, before the Su preme Court (which meets in Jan uary) could decide the case. has a back seat on the Committee; while Mr. McGehee, of Person is thrust forward, by Speaker Robin son, as the Chairman of this impor tant Committee, having the vital interests of the West to handle. Mr. McGehee is a new man. He may have ability, but he has no ex perience especially in Railroad matters. His county, so far as we are informed, was never represented by any man who ever could be con strained to vote for a Western Rail road appropriation. He therefore has no sympathy with the West, whose great need is a Railroad. Ho rep resents a section of the State tradi- ionally hostile to Railroads. The adjoining county of Caswell buried Calvin Graves years ago, politically, on account of his casting the vote of the Senate for the North Carolina Railroad. Nothing of value to the West can therefore be expected to proceed from a Committee headed by Mr. McGehee. But this ill-1 udged and hostile appointment is aggravated and intensified in its baneful influences against Western Railroad interests, by the appoint ment of Mr. Morehead, of the coun ty of Rockingham, as chairman of the Internal Improvement Com mittee in the Senate. It may be said of him, that he is a cousin of the Speaker Morehead, as it may be said of Mr. McGehee that he is a man in affluent circumstances and very high connections; but these qualifications, desirable, as they are, to the Democratic heart, will not satisfy Western men of the fitness of Mr. Morehead, of Rockingham, and Mr. McGehee, of Person, for the responsible places which they occupy. Rockingham and Person are not the counties from which the people of Buncombe, Madison, Ilaywood, Jackson, Swain, Macon, Graham, Clay and Cherokee are likely to look for promoters and guardians of their Railroad interests. Those peo pie, if consulted, would doubtless say mat Love, uryson, weicn, James Merrimon and Flemming are about as well able to take care f their concerns as McGehee or Morehead. If family rings are to come into tne legislature oi tms State, to the detriment of the pub lic service, it would seem, of all things, the most unjust and unfeel ing that a whole section of the State should be sacrificed to facilitate their introduction. If merit, acquain tance with public affairs, diligent, patient and prompt attention to public business are to be obscured and overlooked in Gov. Vance's wild hunt after office, then this Committee arrangement may be excused not otherwise. iThere are also some very valua ble gold and copper mines in this county in successful operation at this time. Grapes are grown to trreat perfection in Davidson. The soil is principally red clay and sandy, and with a little fertil izing would produce fully equal to the best Northern lands, which cost ten times as much. I The farmers in this county are scarcely ever heard to complain of a drought or of top much rain. They are always bduyant and glee ful, bearing in mind V whence com eth all these rich blessings.17 ! jAt Thomasville the extremes of heat and cold are seldom felt.! There are already many. Northern 'people settled in Davidson, who seem to be delighted both with the climate and the people. The writer is per sonally acquainted with a hrni in Norfolk. Va., who purchased, a short time since, a tract of land near this place of 1,200 acres, for which they paid twenty thousand dollars. We learn they havej already realized from the land in .White oak staves alone, enough to pay for the whole tract, and the land is nowi worth more than the pricej paid for it. This land may now be purchased, in one hundred acre farms, and at great banrains. I Good land may be purchased, in the county of -Davidson, at from $7 td $10 and $20 per 'acre : and with good management,' may be paid for in one or two ' years, by the crops raised on it.' - i Oak and' Pine ; timber is very abundant, with considerable Black Vifalnut.

Section five of Article two of the State Constitution provides that "an enumeration of the inhabitants of the State shall be taken under the direction of the General As sembly ' in " the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, and at the end of every ten years there after ; and the said Senate Districts shall be so altered by the General Assembly, at the first session after the return of every enumeration ta ken as aforesaid or by order of Con: gress, that each Senate District shall contain as nearly as may be, an equal number of inhabitants, excluding aliens and Indians not taxed." , ; - Section six of the same Article provides that the "apportionment of the House of Representatives shall be made by the General As sembly at the respective times and periods when the Districts for the Senate are hereinbefore' directed to be laid off." Therefore, the Legislature elect ed in 1874 will re-apportion the Sen atorial Districts, and apportion the members of the House of Represen tatives to the several counties. , 1 The proposed Constitu&snafc Amendments include a provision to abolish the Census provision wnicn we nave quoted, but it is hardly possible that the Republi can members of the Legislature will agree to this proposition, unless the infamous gerrymander of the State by the last General Assembly, should be remodelled so as to give proper weight to the majority of the voters of the State. Whatever may be the action of the present Legislature upon the late appor tionment of the State, but one more election will be held under it ; and at that election the party responsi ble lor the abridgement of the rights of the majority of the voters of the State, so as to give a minority the power to control the State, will melt before an indignant and out raged people, like grass before the molten lava of JEtna or Vesuvius. And the honest masses will sav rVmen. Characteristic. North Carolina First. We regret to sec that there has been a spirit manifested, in the last three or four days, among those who have here tofore occupied high positions in our ranks, which is calculated to weaken the Conservative cause, and to embar rass and distract the party. We do hope, for the sake of the peo ple of North Carolina, thai personal bitterness will be subordinated to the public good, and the interests of the State will not suffer through the strifes and ambitions of individuals.

Jordan, OF MONTGOMERY, Delivered in the House of Bepresen tatives, on Saturday last, on the bill proposing to elect Judges in their respective Districts. Mr. Jordan said: This bill, although allowed by the Constitu tion of the State, will, in my opinion, produce such a state of affairs as will cause deep grief to every patriot in North Carolina it will hold out inducements to men who have but little knowledge of the law, but who may be shrewd electioneerers and who will resort to all the schemes now-a-days resorted to by the politicians of the day, to wit: treating in grog-shops and at wagons and other places, and many other things that 1 should be gnev ed to see practiced in our State. And further, gentlemen of high standing and great legal ability, will not engage in the scenes before mentioned, ami thus we will be de nied the best material in the State out of which to make our Judges. And further, by a provision of the Constitutition of the State, the Judges may exchange Districts, and it may some times become almost ab solutely necessary that such changes be made; then in each case of this sort, each Judge concerned will be thrown among a people to pre side over their courts when, at the same time, that people had nothing to do with his election. When, on the other hand, if they be elected by the whole people of the State, they will always preside among a people who aided in their election, and besides this, they would not be induced to canvass and electioneer as they would in the other case. I speak on this bill not as a parti- zan, but as a lover of the Judiciary of North Carolina. I am grieved to see gentlemen on this floor man ifesting a disposition to hurry a matter so grave as this through this House without giving time for all to well consider the effect upon tne judiciary ot tne state such a change will have. It is alwavs wrong for the law-givers of a State to be hasty on matters of so great importance. This bill, 1 hope, will be postponed and made the special order for some day in the future.

The Carpet-bag Element. The Northern men in the South, whether they like it or not, are uni- wrsallv denominated carpet-bag gers, sometimes offensively and at other times without any offence be-ino- intended. Those of them we have met. (and at the State Conven tion, last week, we were thrown in contact with forty or fifty,) would as soon be called carpet-baggers as onv thin? else: nor do they care whether thev are so designated by friend or foe. They are men of in- denendent thought and action, en ergetic, business-like, ; prosperous The .New .North State Xov. 14, 187i v e ask attention to the editorial with the above caption, which we reproduce in another column. The article was written last April, arid we see no reason to now change the views therein expressed. The, tri umph of the Kepublican partv throughout the nation, has been even more complete than we at that time anticipated. There has been. during the campatgn, as we pre dicted, "more or less of the old bitterness" toward Carpet-baggers, uy tne executive oi ine totate is our but it has been indeed 44 only tran of the question; jits repair is im- sienc," a Extraordinary.

We understand that in matters "consarnin " of turnips and potatoes, as 'Governor Vance would say, the Steward of the State pen understands the difference between Tweedledum arid Twecdledee. and we hope, after a while. to hear no more of it forever. Cer tain politicians have rung the changes on carpet-bagism. at everv conceivable time and place. These politicians sought to awaken the prejudices of the people, on the stump and through various publi cations. Among other things, a circular was sent out by authority of the Conservative Club of Greens boro," in which occurs this lan guage: " Vote him down, fellow-citizens, and send Gen. Leach, who respects you and your children, to Congress. He is your friend, and Settle is a friend of the Northern men." The above is only one specimen of the narrow-minded action of cer tain politicians. These things have failed of their effect at any rate, the large Republican majorities would seem to so indicate. We are convinced that the people are tired of the cry " Carpet-basr- gers," 44 Carpet-baggers "indeed. we navo iniormanon tnat, to a great extent, it has failed to affect them. We hope the Legislature will now take measurers to induce immigration from the North: and nrl onerous an addition to tne population of North Carolina that nobody but fools would desire to see driven away. They have come here to stav : they have identified them selves with the interests of the State and all of them with whom we con versed intend to pass the rest of their days in this good old common wealth, ueinsr men ot tnriit ana intelligence, they will in the future, as in the past, make themselves felt in the body politic. Their strong desire is to mingle on friendly terms with the people, just as they couia do in the great Northwest, livery one of them was pleased with the heartiness with which they were recognized by the State Convention, not only in the endorsement of Gen. Abbott, but in the nomination of of their candidate, John Reilly, up on the State ticket. They have no disposition to be clannish, because they were not so educated ; - nor will they be so, unless forced by the circumstances of their situation and the coldness of the native pop ulation. They all believe that North Carolina has as good, if not better, natural resources, than any State in the Union ; and they think that by mingling with the people, thus ere ating a mutuality of interest, the resources of the State will be devel oped, and that she will take Jier place, where she ought to be, in tne front ranks of the republics that compose the great American nation. vve have already expreased tne opinion, in an article pubiisned last week, that 44 North Carolina will never become a great ? common wealth, until she receives within her limits, the resolute young men and women of the North ;" and that 14 an admixture of the two ele ments, (native and northern,) and the development of what is best in both, will make a great and weal thy people." Many of the native population agree with us all of the Republican party, and not a few professing to be Conservatives. We need not urge Northern men, already here, to labor in the cause of immigra tio'n, for we know them to be sen sible and 44 resolute." They see the advantages to the new-comers, as well an to the natives ; and they all are doing everything in their power to induce their Northern friends to make their homes in the State. They do this, recognizing that there are citizens hostile to tne " carpet bagger ;" but they see at the same i tnatvms prejudice is rapidly wearing away, and they believe Jhat before many years, it will have entirely died out, or be so mconsid erable that it will cause no man a moment's uneasiness. This gratifying result is being ac complished by the great Republi can party a party whose principles absolutely force, themselves upon the attention, and secure conviction by their inherent excellence. The 4 lcar pel-baggers" have seen the be ginning of the organization in North Carolina, and they claim for them selves the credit. They have seen the time when they alone, with the colored population and a few native whites, composed the party. They remember how contemptuously they were treated. They have seen the gradual increase of , their party in "respectability ;" until now, only a few politicians and newspapers affect to despise Republicans, and constant accessions to the ranks of the party are being made through out the length and breadth of this magnificent domain. We predict that many of them will live to see the period when not a single term of reproach will be cast upon the party that advocates equal, rights to all men before the law.! WThile congraiulating. themselves upon the improved condition of things, they have i no hesitation in saying that thorje has been cause for bitterness of feeling on the part of the native whites. The pioneers of the carpet-baggers came here at . a time when the Southern people hadbeen thoroughly defeated. They were regarded as hereditary ene mies. In addition to that, a crowd of adventurers, the natural result of the war and reconstruction, fastened themselves upon the people. These cormorants had no moral principle, nor any desire to ingratiate them selves into the favor of. those in the midst of whom they had come. All they wanted was: to make money. They were ready to do all things, however unscrupulous, to attain their ends. No one condemns them more heartily than carpet-baggers who have come in good faith to make North Carolina their home; lor they themselves have been hated because of the misdeeds of these ad venturers. The Southern people, wrongfully of course, but still nat urally, have some of them consid ered the North to contain nothing else but knaves. They are gradu ally learning their mistake. It is a matter for congratulation that the villains among the carpet baggers have been driven from the Statej None of them now hold office and none of them will hereafter. Thosd who have settled here, mak ing this State their home, heartily rejoice that this is so, and they wel come the dawn of the day of an era of good feeling. There will be more or less of the old bitterness against carpet-baggers revived during the political Icam- Eaign now inaugurated, but if will e only transient. With the suc- JIARRIAGE GUIDE.
