' V 'f THE ERA AND EXAMINER. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1874. Meeting of the State Grange. The ladles and gentlemen of the State grange, of North Carolina, or order of the patrons of husbandry, are welcome to the city of Raleigh. The Examiner always welcomes the cominc of all associations of ladies or gentlemen who may locate their place of general meeting at the capital of the State. The Era was the first paper of the State to speak a kind or enconraging word for the granges. The Exami ner is prepared and ready to sustain and encourage this order as far as its practices and tendencies are pro motive of the agricultural interests of the country, and so long and so far as it shall not seek to pull down any other great interest, or oppress any other class, cabling or profession of our people. Some criticisms lately indulged by this paper, sought the correction of abuses and errors that stood bold ly out, as the result of hasty and inconsiderate action on the part of some of the granges of the State. That the Examiner is the natural or sworn enemy of this order is no more true than that it is the natural enemy of the boards of trade which the merchants have organized for their convenience and advantage, the medical society of the physicians, the bar associations of the lawyers, or the trades unions answering the purposes of the different me chanical interests and dirers branch- The hope of the Examiner is that each and every Industry may pros per through appropriate organiza tions of their own that all may be rivals without conflict, and If the farmers' granges or patrons of hus bandry can benefit our farming peo ple and promote and develop the agricultural Interests of our State ana country without damage or conflict with other great interests necessary to foster and keep alive, the Examiner bids them a God-speed ; and whenever, in Its Judgement, they merit criticism, or even con demnation at its hands, they shall promptly receive It. Ladies and gentlemen, once more, welcome to the capital of your glorious old State. Vacancy to bo Filled. Capt.

Watts, Judge of Vie sixth judicial district, of high crimes and misdemeanors in office : Introduced January 2Wi 1S74, by R. T. Bennett, representative from Anson county, and referred to 'Judi ciary committee. Resolved, That Samuel W. Watts. judge of the sixth judicial district of North Carolina be impeached of drunk- neas, bribe-taking, scandalous conduct, high Crimes and misdemeanors in office. IIodmo Resolution, No. 110, Report of the Judiciary Commute, Feb. ruary 16, 1874- The Judiciary committee to which this (the above) resolution was referred have considered the same, and beg to report that In the investigation of the charges contained therein they havo examined a number of witnesses and that the testimony adduced does not sustain the said charges. They further report that, they were referred to a number of witnesses residing beyond the limits of the State, whose attendance it was impossiblo for the committee to procure. They therefore ask to be dis charged from its further consideration. Respectfully submitted, Ckaioe, For committee. And this is the result of the grand Turner impeachment of Judge Watts. Noevidence to sustain fhe charges of the malicious Turner, says Kerr Cralge, Esq., for the Judiciary com rnittee, in the absence of Mr. Ben nett, the chairman. The farce is played out ; the cur tain drops, the audience disperses and the lessee, Turner, is both chagrined and disgusted. But the worst hurt of any one, by his farci cal fizzle, is stage-manager Ben nett, who placed the impeachment farce on the boards, and finding it would not draw, escaped between the scenes. Alas ! poor Turner. Impeachment of .Judge Watts. The matter of impeachment of Judge Watts has a curious look. Upon the petition of a defeated and exasferated suitor in his court, a legislative committee investigates the charges made against him, and then attempts to con-ign the affair to the "tomb of the Capulcts." It cannot be supposl by any man lv tween Virginia and South Carolina, and Toniu see and the ocean, that anything like patriotism impelhd Turner to offer his petition. It can not be supjoscd that the general assembly, which has sacrificed its dignity if not its official oath in the interests of Turner, would have hesitated to have gone further at 4" r v., A, Something Can be Done.

When 1 first suggested tiii-j idea to the public some did not imagine that the movement could so rapidly gather to its projector the approval and the hearty co-operation of all classes of our people. I, however,never for a moment doubt ed that the proposition would meet with broad and enthusiastic appro bation. The result f'ius far, Sir, has more than justifi -d my most santruine expectations. All ranks been aroused. All have signified tin ir appreciation of the effort made i:; this connection to promote the interests of North Carolina, by in troducing into the State a portion of the emigrating clashes. What we want is people! i eople of nerve and brain, people of means and muscle. We do not want men who simply labor for their day's hire. We have enough of that cla.s. We have hands enough, if properly dirvcted, and if fie jiroM r xai:ip?t icas li fore them. We want people to buy up our lands that are now lying waste. We want families to settle upon the soil, and who, in addition to the sweat they themselves pour fotrh, will call out upon the farm the laborers who now are Hocking to our towns and villages. We want a cht-s of people ho through ftkilful and improved modes of cul ture will be able to remunerate more liberally our present impover ished laborers for the toil they put into our field-.

I am a ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST, and I be lieve my nationality, and my Cath olie religion are the two things I most ardently proclaim. One or the other may not be palatabein places I could name, but in Ral- from his position, had an opportu nity offered. Of all the offensive spectacles which a review of the ac tions of the late general assembly presents, its connection with Tur ner is the most disgusting and most laughable. Very well put, Mr. Post. eign, and ail over isortn Carolina, my Irish heart, and my Catholic Priesthood have ever found a warm welcome. The Carolinian likes the Irishman. This people are in a great degree descended from the Iri3h. The Burkes, the Brians, the Hanrahaus, the Caldwell's the Mac's, tne O's, and scores of Irish names are everywhere found, and the oldest and mostdis- i iiu-uisiit -u lawiiiies ui ine otate. Carolinians boast of their Irish ex traction. In yankeedom you may pick up some cussed snipe who would try to cover up his Irish origin by a jackdaw plumage of ill gotlen feathers; but North Car olinians stick their glorious Irish figures out in front ; and woe betide the ruffian who would insult their Paddy blood ! Yes, sir, the Caro linian prides in his Irish ancestry, lie would not, but he could not, deny it. Look into the noblest faces on our streets, and at once you dis cover the prominent traits of Irish physiogoni" ! Go into our courts of law, or into our legislative halls ! The men you hear there thunder ing forth the most fiery, the most vehement, the most forcible, the most captivating, the most argu mentative eloquence nine chances out of ten, that noble fellow has Irish blood coursing warmly through his frame, and this Irish blood is the fervid principle that animate-, and fortifies, and intensi fies, the flashes of thought gleaming from his eye, as well as the thun ders of eloquence ringing t from his Reform. The elements are against theedi toroftheSsnnd. He started to Cur rituck to shoot ducks, and the rea son assigned for his return was the weather; it being too stormy to vent uro on the "i -ginjr canal." He next threatened to raid on the people of Harnett county, and act ually left last week for that desti nation; but a kind Providence in terposed, and sending a heavy rain, the people of Harnett were saved; for at Jones bo ro the raider turned back. There can be no doubt as to the destiny of a man at war with the elements, as well as with his kind. Pharoah is reported to have tried it, in a small way, mbut, with all his To the Editor of the Examiner : Will you please give me a space in your valuable paper to speak a few words to the farming and labor ing classes and the voters of this state, concerning the ensuing elec tion that will take place next Sum mer. The main object of this arti cle is to call the attention of the farmers and laborers to the reform that commenced in the house of representatives last Saturday, when tne question oi concurring wun mo senate amendments on the bill extending the jurisdiction of justi ces of the peace" came up, the ju diciary committee reporting against concurring, and the legal profession leading oil against concurance, ex cept Colonel Dula, of Wilkes coun ty, who deserves credit, ana Will receive the approval and thanks of the people of the whole state lc: his manly, bold and dignified against the judiciary committer 1 the house of representative;;, l favor of the passage of the cl I e tending the jurisdiction oi of the peace, and in defe.iic o -j rights, needs, and wants ol li- j it - mersand tax payers oi t:.e uat-?. and it should endear hiru to t; hearts ot the people of Iordi Caro lina. Thibill had no partvlnJtyo bearing whatever, and vas really a fight of interest between the Tax payers, farming and laboring in teres t of the people and tho profession, and I do hopo tc-.v. Col onel Dula will go on in his work of reform, and at the::: session of the general asse.vjh abolish all pleadings in courbj c justices of the peace, and further extend this jurisdiction to petit ia. cenies. What the people want in justices courts is a speedy dispatch of justice, with the right of appeal, which of course they have. There is no one that thoroughly understands these pleadings in courts except some of the oldest and ablest lawyers. I have often fieen parties thrown out of the su perior courts by some mere techni cality in the pleadings, which the young professioner did not thor oughly understand, and thus delay justice to the great injury of the party. It is the duty of the tax payers, farmingand laboring classes of this State, irrespective of party in every county of the State, to demand this much needed reform of their candi dates for the next general assembly, and those candidates who will not promise to support this reform should be kept at home.

Perhaps we do not always weigh both tides. Perhaps if the employer leaked at h fne he would discover a&lfiething wiJicii would remove a portion oi the blame from the shoulders of Ins laborer. Perhaps he does not give the laborer the example necessary to inspire him with respect for his employer, and with a proper sense of the dignity and importance of his occupations. Perhaps instead of rising before the sun and working through the day, side by side with his laborer, the employer sleeps away his mornings, and expects hired laborers to go to work a3 industriously as if he himself stood beside them, and led them forward to a profitable days employment. It may be, too, air, that instead of leading his men the burdens and heat day. squander; 3d.

The act passed by the defunct leg islature to extend the criminal ju risdiction of magistrates was the result of the consultations of the judiciary committee, but it was sug crested by a bill introduced before the recess by Dr. W. II. Wheeler, the republican member from For sythe, who though a republican, is known to have had as mnch influ ence in the late legislature as any democrat there.

Beautiful Allegouy. Crit tenden, of Kentucky, was at one time engaged in defending a man who had been, indicted for a capital offence. After an elaborate and powerful defence he closed his effort with the following striking and beautiful allegory : "When God in his eternal council conceived the thought of man's creation, he called to him the three ministers who wait constantly upon the throne- Justice, Truth and Mercy and thus addressed them : "Shall we make man?" Then said Justice: 'Oh, God, make him not, for he will trample upon the laws.' Truth made an answer also: Oh, God, make him not, tor he will pollute thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy, drop ping upon her knees, looking up through her Urs-exclaimed i-'Oh. - - - UOU, UiH.tk.ii Ilk Ui, X VV1U MiltUi UkU him with my rare' through nil the dark paths which he may have to tread!' Then God made man, and said to him: 'Oh man, thou art the child of mercy; go and deal with thy brother."

From the Randolph Enterprise. On being brought into the ante room of the lodge (Greengrocer Temple, No. 101.) I was told that had been balloted for and accepted. My informant, who was securely masKea oy what l afterward learn ed was a large burdock leaf, perfo rated with holes for the eyes, told me that if I valued my life it would be necessary for me to strip. As did consider that of considerable worth to me. and, as he italicised his wishes by carelessly playing wun a seven-shooter, l withdrew from my garments with eagerness. My masked friend then furnished me with regalia of the first degree called "The Festive Ploughboy" which consisted merely of one large cabbage leaf attached to a waistband of potato vines.

Spam - MS i i K x ) '. ; U:.i Ilorabardnient. Bayonne, Feb. 18. The Carlists are bombarding Berga. tality! Whatever faults the Caro linians may pos-ess, I can positively bear w itr.ess that a large proportion of hi.- errors proceed from the same cause which makes many an Irish man lose his money. Vou may travel God's creation over, andl defy you to find any two popula tions whose character corresponds so tboronghly as that of the Caro linian and the Irishman ! Light heartcduess, sociability, love of friends, attachment for domestic relations, a warm shake of the hand, an open countenance, a ringing laugh, overflowing good humor! and a thousand other peculiarities are common to the Carolinian and the Irishman. These qualities are more general between these two peoples than between any others m the world. I will venture to say, sir, that this character in com mon, more than anything else, ac counts for the readiness with which they come together, harmonizing in one another's feelings, rejoicing in one another's pleasure. The Irish man meets his Carolina acquaint ance on the street or in society, and their characters harmonize to a Republic of Ecuador. The United States of America and the Republic of Ecuador, hav ing deemed it conducive to the bet ter administration of justice and the prevention of crime within their re spective territories that all persons convicted or accused of the crimes enumerated below, bein fugitives from justice, shall be, under certain circumstances, reciprocally deliver ed up, have resolved to conclude a treaty upon the subject; and the President of the United States has for this purpose named Rumsey Wing, a citizen of the United States, and the Minister resident in Ecuador, as Plenipotentiary on t e part of the United States, and the President of Ecuador has named Francisco Javier Leon, Minister of the Interior and of Foreign Atfairs, as Plenipotentiary on the part of Ecuador; who, having reciprocally communicated their lull powers. and the same - aving been found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following articles, vizT Article 1st. Spates and the government of Ecua dor mutually agree to deliver up such persons as may have been convicted of or may be accused of the crimes set forth in the follow ing article, committed within the jurisdiction of one of the contract ing parties, and who may have r?ought refuge or be fouinl within the territory of the other ; it being understood that this is only to be done when the criminality shall be proved in such manner that, ac cording to the laws of the country where the fugitive or accused may be found, such persons might be lawfully arrested and tried, had the crime been committed within its jurisdiction. Article 2nd. Persons convicted of or accused of any of the following crimes shall be delivered up, in accordance with the provisions of this treaty : 1st. Murder, including assassin ation, parricide, infanticide, and poisoning. 2d. The crime of rape, arson, pi racy, any mutiny on ship board when the crew, or a part thereof, by fraud or violence against the commanding officer, have taken possession of the vessel. Article 6th. The expenses of the arrest, deten tion and transportation of persona "claimed ehaii iwprtfd -fcr -the Gov ernment in whose name the requi sition shall have been made. Article 7th. This treaty shall continue in force for ten (10) years from the day of the exchange of ratifications ; but in case neither party shall have given to the other one (1) year's previous notice of its intention to terminate the same, then this treaty shall continue in force for ten (10) years longer, and so on. The present treaty shall be rati fied, and the ratifications exchang ed in the capital of Ecuador, within two months from the day on which thesessionof the coming Congress of Ecuador shall terminate, which will be in October, 1873. In testimony whereof the respect ive Plenipotentiaries have signed the present treaty in duplicate, and have hereunto affixed their seals.

And whereas the said treaty has been duly ratified on both parts, and the respective ratifications were exchanged at Quito on the 12th of November lat: Now, therefore, be it known that I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States of America, have caused the said treaty to be made public to the end that the same, and every clause and article thereof, maybe observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States, and the citizens thereof. In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be af fixed.

The ruins of Pantichucon, which was burned last Friday night, are still smoul dering, but notwithstanding this insurance companies have already set men to seeking salvage, and a number of racing cups and much jewelry which were stored in the building have been recovered unin jured. Thousands of spectators are viewing the ruins. It is said that the loss of one insurance company by the fire is so heavy that it is crippled. Petition for the Re-appointment of Collector Dussell in Boston Boston, Feb. 18. At a largely attended informal meeting of the Board of Trade and the merchants to-day it was unanimously voted respectfully and earnestly to appeal to the President to re-appoint Col lector Russell, who, it is understood, consents to the arrangement. Res olutions and petitions against the confirmation of Simmons were agreed upon, and will be forwarded to the President and the Massacbu- setts delegation in Congress. After this violent exercise he is rubbed dry with corn-cobs, bees waxed where thistled, and brought standing up before the great chief the Most Worshipful Pumpkin Head. M.,W. P. H. Why do you desire to be a granger ? Candidate- (answering for him self) That I may learn to extin guish sewing machine agents. M. W. P. H. Have your hands been hardened with toil? - Candidate Not extensively, but then I am not running for office. M. W. P. H. 'Tis well, for our lodges contain several who are sup posed to sacrifice themselves for the good of their constituents. Do you feel pretty smart this evening ? Candidate Yc, where the bustle goes on. M. W. P. H. (savagely) Give me a chaw of tobacker ! . Candidate searching himself thor oughly, but as there is no place about him to stick a pocket, but the Most Worshipful Pumpkin Head interrupts him with : "Never mind, my dear young friend I am well aware that in your present condition, you can no more furnish your friends with the weed than Adam could be comfort able in a plug hat and tight boots. It is merely to teach you the -great lesson of economy doing to others as you'd like to have them do to you. You will now be conducted to the Most Eminent Squash Pro ducer, who will teach you the grand hailing sign of distress. The sign, my worthy brother, will insure you against many of the ills of the ag riculturist amongst others, against drouths, and being bit by the fero cious grass-hopper." The candidate is now conducted to the Most Eminent Squash Pro ducer, who thus says: "My worthy brother, I will now invest you with the order of the festive Ploughboy, which you have well won by your heroic achievement while harness ed may you ever wear it with pleasure to yourself, and may it be a means of terror to your enemies." (The M. S. P. then proceeds to invest the candidate with the rega lia of the festive Ploughboy, which consists of a longtomatoe necklace.) "The grand hailing sign of distress is made by gently closing the left eye, laying the right forefinger alongside the nose, and violently wagging the ears. It requires prac tice, but the advantages are intense. It also has an important significa tion, which you will do well to heed. The closing of the eye signi fies that in all your dealings with mankind you are bound to have an eye to uusiness. Laying the finger alongside the nose is emblematical The I'kouibitory Liquor Law. The temperance cause had many strong representatives in both branches of the latelegislature, who were untiring in their zeal to stop, as far as possible, the sale of the ardent, and a bill was passed through both branches to the ellect that when one-fourth of the voters ot a town ship petition to the county commission' ers that they so desire, that body shall forthwith order an election, submitting the question to tho -qualified voters of said township, who, shall vote "license' orno license" as to the sale ot liquors 'afSfair rnsTiecrivfi rowti&mns.

It is also supposed by some pro found scholars to have a distinct reference to apple dumplings, but this fact is somewhat obscure by the dust of ages. In token that you are one of us, you will now be branded. This ceremony is very impressive, and consists of two brands. They are both applied " while the iron is hot," and consist of one letter of the alphabet each. The first is a large letter S, on which you will please sit while the other letter is applied to the stomach. The letter S, my worthy chicken, signifies scooped, and refers to railroad monopolies. It is also supposed to indicate the seat of learning the spot where the old time teacher hunted for brains with the ferule. The second letter is C, and is applied as I said before to the stomach.
