I The following proceedings of the general, caucus of the Republican party held in the City of Raleigh on the 12th of February are pub lished for the information and guid ance, of all concerned : ? At a Republican caucus held in the city of ltaleigh, February 12th, 1874, composed of Republican mem bers of the Legislature and others, the following resolutions were unan- f" lously adopted : ., Resolved, That two persons from ach Congressional District and sev On from the State at large, in all twenty-three, be appointed to act With the State Executive Commit tee and exercise the full Dowers of a by which, when misfortune over takes him, he can retain a home for his wife and his little ones. It is the first party which ever allowed the married women of North Carolina to hold real estate in their own name without being subject to execution for the debts of unfortunate or dissipated husbands. It looks not to the place of a man'a nativity ; it enquires not as to his religious belief; it examines not the color of his skin ; it ostracises none because of poverty, social po sition, or lack of educational ad vantages, but to every human be ing created in the image of God in all this broad land, it extends its protection and guarantees equal rights to all. The Second and Eighth Judi cial Districts. The people are writing from the Second and Eighth Judicial Dis tricts inquiring what about elec tions for Judges in those districts. It will be remembered that the Leg islature passed a law ordering an election for these districts declar ing vacancies io exists therein. This was the he'-jhfc of legislative stultification, democratic outrage, partisan meannras and absurdity. Judges Moo.e itnd Cloud were appointed by 11 a Governor to fill out unexpired terms. Judge V. M. Millard Fillmore. This distinguished gentleman died at his residence, in the City of Buffalo, State of New York, on the 8th inst. Mr. Fillmore was the fourteenth President of the United States, having succeeded to that position on the death of Gen. Tay lor, soon after his inauguration in 1848. He was nominated in 1856 for President by the Know Noth ing party, but was defeated by Mr. Buchanan, the Democratic candi date. Mr. Fillmore had for many years lived In comparative retire ment. He was looked upon by men of all parties as a patriot and statesman. He was seventy-four years of age at the time of his decease.' Death of Charles Sumner. Charles Sumner, the oldest U. S. Senator, and the foremost states man and philanthropist of America, died in Washington City on Wed nesday, March 11, 1874. Ha had been a Senator from Massachusetts for twenty-three years, and whatev er the opinion entertained of him in this section of the Union, history will write his name high on the scroll of fame as one who loved his country and his fellow-man, and who labored faithfully and zealous ly to ameliorate their condition. lowed,and all had two safety valves. man at its head who will push the These valves would discharge the steam if the -engineer was so im prudent as to hold down the one under his charge, the other being locked.

Prof, Alex. Mclver, Superintendent Public Instruction : Dear Sir: The eighth town ship in the county of Craven was never divided into school districts till the present year, and never had any trustees except for the city of New-Berne. Consequently New Berne has absorbed all the school funds of the eighth township. Is this legal? 1. When was the law passed re quiring the school committees to lay off their respective townships into school districts, and to appor tion the school funds of the town ship to the districts ? z. When the apportionment is made to the several school districts of the township, can the money ap portioned tojwe jschool dstrict be applied to payibT ir school taught in a different district ? 3 When the apportionment to any district is insufficient; to em ploy a teacher for a longer time than two months, and no school is taught, does the money remain to the credit of the district till the next apportion si ent, oris it forfeited? There are now two school districts for white children in the eighth township: The first includes the corporate limits of New-Berne, and the second includes the balance of the townsbin. A subscription school was taught in 1873 in the second district, and the public school money was not used in that district. The public school, aided by Jthe Peabody fund, continued the whole year in district number one, and absorbed the entire amount of the public school money due the town ship. Now are we of the second . . . , . .

Rheim. Esq.: EearSi: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt j of your letter or tne ssna mst. As your en work forward at once. That man. we think, is Major Wm. A. Smith. Iam free to confess that I am not a Republican nor do I sympathise with Maj. Smith in hi3 political sentiments, but I do assert without the fear of successful contradiction that there is no man in the State better qualified to take charge of this great and important work. It has been said that the Maj. expects to ride into the Gubernatorial chair on the W. N. C. R. R. This he de nies and we do not believe. Let us drop politics in a work of such vi tal importance to at least one por tion of the State, and Democrats and Republicans alike take enough in terest in the work to plac3such men at its head regardless of party as have the will and ability to suc ceed. Maj. Smith's business quali fications have never been douoted, and if they were his management of the W. N. C. R. R. since it has been in his hands proves him to be a Railroad man of no ordinary ability. He has resources and can bring in fluences to bear that perhaps no other man in the State could or would, and we hope soon to see all obstacles removed and he left to manasre and complete tlie road as and something more than mere po litical trickery in our Congression al Representative. During the past two years Jude Thomas nas established in the Na tional Legislature the reputation already and so long borne at home, that of being a man of fine mind, great legal ability, shrewd, far-seeing business tact, an unswerving devotion to principle, and an uncom promising adherence to party; ever ready to do what is riht; found al ways in the front rank of progres sion; never losing an opportunity of advancing the interests of the country and his section in particu lar. He is above and beyond -the influences of the cross road politi cian. Unmoved by the threats and operations of demagogues, he stands to-day as one of the lead ors, if not at the head of Southern rep resentatives. Such a man is a credit to any party to any section, and the Re publicans of this district will but do justice to themselves to see that he is again renominated. What we need in our candidates is honor, ability, qualification, truth, diernitv and an adherence to principle and party, and all of these desires qualification; honor, talent, Important to Those Who draw Notes. i man drew a note promising to pay one hundred dollar. 1U- used the printed form and did noi ci up the blank devoted to dollar, and, aftef passing it as negotiable paper, somebody Inserted "and fif ty" alter the one hundred and be fore the printed word dollar. The note, thus altered, got into the bauds of an innocent party, who presented it to the drawer, and the Supreme Court decided-that the maker of the note was liable for its face, because through negligenco he did not draw a line between the written word and "dollar." Any testimony that the drawer might of fer to establish the fact he gave the note for one hundred dollars must go for nothing, as "thero was no thing on th face of the note to show that it had been altered. Evidence oi' an alteration on tho face of the note would have changed the case. Let this be a lesson j lo all drawers of prommissoryj notes.

The Conservative or Democratic party is based on pre judice and has been kept alive by appeals to the baser passions ol the human heart. The Republican party conducted the country through a gigantic sec tional war and saved the national Union of Washington and his com patriots. It was the first party in this country to rise up to the full dignity of Jefferson's immortal de claration that "all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable privileges,among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Republican con vention which adopted our present fctate constitution added to Jeffer V . a a a mm auu a ucviarauon mat an men wero entitled to "the enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor." it is the party of the nation, be cause it saved the Union of our fathers from dissolution, and is the only party which has an organiza tion co-extensive with the Ameri can Union. it is tne party of liberty, for it struck tho shackles from every slave, and made our country in fact, as it had been in theory, "the land of the free and the home of the brave." It is the party of the poor man. sumes that in sitting on their own case they would decide favorable to themselves, law or no law; but leavincr tfapm out, tixo xoaoowk say they will decide fairly as to Judges Mooie and Cloud. Republicans are advised to disre gard the Judicial election bill for the Second aad Eizhth Districts. Nominate candidates for Solicitor, but put no one in the field for Judges'in either of these two dis tricts. And if any Republican as pirant should attempt to run, cast no vote for such. Completely, fully and severely ignere the proposed Judicial election in the Second and Eighth Districts, and if the Demo crats see fit to elect one of their set, leave the matter to the Courts for adjudication and settlement.

The school act of 1868-7G9 made it the duty of the school committee to establish one or more! separate schools for each race, but did not authorize the division of the town ships into school districts. The act of 1871-772 made it the duty of the school committees to divide their respective townships into conven ient school districts, consulting as far a practicable the convenience of neighborhoods, and disregarding township boundaries where con venience required it, and making separate school districts for the two races. The act of 1872-773 re-enacts this act, and makes it the duty of the school committee to apportion j the school money due the township among tne several school districts of the township according to the number of children between the ages ot six and twenty-one years ; and provides further, "That so much of said school fund as shall not be expended in any school dis trict for the education Of the race for which it was apportioned in any year, shall be added to the final ap portionment to said race in said school district for the succeeding year.' 7 The law apportioned to the sev eral . school districts the school money of 1873, and vested in each district its proper share; so that it ! could not and cannot be used in any otner district. If the school com a a -m -a . mittee and county commissioners ha ve inadvertently given to school district No. 1 the money which ought to have been apportioned to school district No. 2, they will cor rect the mistake when their atten tion is called to it, and! replace to the credit of district No. 2 its proper share of the school funds of 1873. Ii the school funds of 1873 are ex hausted, they will take from the apportionment of the school money of 1874 to district No. 1 the proper amount and "place it to the credit of school district No. 2.

A TRUE liPUBLICAN. II: C. R. Thomr.s. Jlrjor Smith and our To the Editor of. the Era: Will you allow me a space in your paper to say a few words in regard to the action of the Legislature in the Consolidation bill. Every one must admit that the completion of the W. N. C. R. R. is of unlimited importance to the State. If any doubt it let them go to Richmond and see the heavily loaded freight trains that daily arrive, and all brought over the E. T. and Va. Road. Now all of this freight would be brought through North Carolina if the Western Road was completed. This cannot better be attained than by consolidation with the North Carolina Railroad with some good, energetic Railroad must be apparent to every one who j The time is fast approaching for the holding of the District Conven tion, at which a candidate for Con gress win oe nominated. We have heard several gentlemen spoken of in connection with the nomination; out as only one can be selected from the many, and deeming it a part of the duty of the organ of the partv in tnis District to express a prefer ence for the best men for office, we in this instance take pleasure in announceing tne name of Hon. Charles R. Thomas as our choice, subject, of course, to the action of the Nominating Convention. In presenting the name of Judge Thomas as a candidate for re-nomination, it is almost unnecessary iorus io give our reasons they the Republican party, but not so, we do not wish to be so understood, on the. contrary we are proud to be lieve ,that in this respect, our party is in. better condition in North Carolina to-day than it has been for several . years, and it is for this reason that we advocate the necessity of harmony and union. We have before us a great work and to insure success stick the closer to these erreat principles. Next sum mer we will be called upon to take part i p. a very important election, and we should not forget that we will have to deal with political en emies who are untiring in their endeavors to get complete control of all the branches of the State Government, and will leave no stone unturned to secure their suc cess in the coming campaign. In consideration of these facts, every republican should be up and doing. We have neither time nor ??ie?i to lose, every individual should put his own shoulder to the wheel and labor incessantly for the success of the great princi ples of our party: let there be no lagging back and falling behind, but let every one who desires suc cess take his place in time of battle, prepared with the proper weapons of defense, and success will bo the result. It was with the honest intention of doing our whole duty to the ut most extent of our ability and means, to uphold and defend the principles of tho great National JtcepuDiican party, that we revive i the publication of the Stab, and we shall endeavor to maintain its former character of a true and fear less national republican journal. We insist that we have not been moved to take this step of reviving the Stab by any selfish motives of our own, but at the request of ma ny friends and from an honest de sire to lend our feeble hand to ad vance the interest of the Republi can party. . We are no candidate for office, neither do we expect to be, and therefore can work the har der for the common good of our friends, having no personal ambi tion to gratify. We have fully de termined to ignore everything having a semblance of prejudice or selfish motives and to labor to se cure a united and harmonious feel ing in the deliberations of the par ty. Having said this much we hope the party friends will join us in the good work. "Let the dead bury the dead," or in other words, let us ail unite in this glorious work as a band of brothers, forget ting all past differences and preju dices, and make one solid column of Republican soldiers, to march with steady tramp to victory.
