The members of the State Repub lican Executive Committee and the gentlemen appointed at the general caucus of the Republican party held in Raleigh on the 12th of February are hereby requested to meet in the City of Raleigh on the 9th day of April, 1874. S. T. CARROW, acting Chairman. General Caucus Proceedings. 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 Raleigh, February 12th, 1874, composed of Republican mem bers of the Legislature and others, the following resolutions were unan imously adopted : Unsolved, That two persons from each Congressional District and sev en from the State at large, in all twenty-three, bo appoint' l to act with the State Executive Commit tee and exercise the full powers of a State Convention, and thai during this campaign the persons thus ap nointed have equal powers and au thority with members of the State Executive Committee for making nominations and the conduct of the campaign, and the following named Iersons are appointed : FOR THE STATE AT LARGE: J.

If there is one virtue more than another for which the Republican party can claim credit and which will make it prominent above '11 tory of the world, it is a generous magnanimity towards the South since the war. Of course this will not be recognized by the Southern people, at least by those who are not in accord with the administra tion, until the passions engendered by the war have passed away and men take a reasonable second thought of the transactions of this day and time, nevertheless it is true. The example of a generous mag nanimity was set by Gen. Grant at the surrender of Gen. Lee and his army, when he courteously declined to receive the sword of the van quished chief and told him and his troops to retain their side-arms that they might return home and protect themselves and their family while making a crop. This was the key note for the dominant iwrty, and while every one has been stigma tised as bitter towards tho South who has countenanced the recon struction acts in the councilsef the nation and advocated the principles which triumphed by the defeat of theSouthern Confederacy, the whole course of the General Government, in the hands of Republicans, when analyzed and considered dispassion ately, is more generous, more in dulgeut and m-tnifiHt more faith in the word of honor of a high-mindod people than is recorded of any con quering nation since the beginning of history. Who has been executed for trea son 7 Aot a single person, w no has been banned or denied any right to which the most favored citizen of n e X-irth was entitled or enjoyed ? For u time there were political dis abilities upon some of the leaders, but they have all been removed, and in less than ten years we behold the unparalleled sight of tho principals of the rebellion occupying high places in the General Government, against which they were so recently in arms. Alexander II. Stephens, the Vice President of tho Southern Confederacy,! n Congress, and nearly every Southern State there repre sented by soldiers and prominent politicians In that unfortunate cause, and not a word Is said to them about their past course. Who has been deprived of his property ? Of course there were losses by the war, but instead of there being any confiscations, Con gress, having a ; large Republican majority, 1ms provided for the re imbursement of those who remained loyal to ' the Union and suffered losses. Others staked their all upon the issue and lost, and it was as much as could be expected, that they, be : granted life, liberty and freedom to rebuild their shattered fortunes. But the Government does cot stop here: it has provided a lib eral, uniform Bankrupt law, by which every man of the South can save from the wreck a permanent homestead for his family, and a homestead more ample than that allowed by the different States, for the bankrupt is allowed the home stead of the State in which he lives in addition to the bankrupt exemption of one thousand dollars. No one has been deprived of life, liberty or property. The stars and stripes wave over a free, equal and independent people, from ocean to ocean and from the St. lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. The reconstruction acts only re quired the seceded States to surren der, as a condition of their admis sion to full fellowship in the Union, the doctrines for which they had waged the war and which ;had thereby been decided. That no State had the right to secede, that slavery should be abollshedjand that there should be equal rights to all without distinction. Four years of civil war had decided those dif ferences of opinion between J the North and the South, and the latter were only asked to acknowledge, the fact. They have done so, and to-day there are no political out casts in the land but, the Union is one and inseparable the most ex tensive, prosperous and peaceful nation upon which the sun rises. What more can the South ask ? Much fault has been found with the course pursued by the Repub lican party, but it has been by sore-headed, croaking, disappointed politicians, who would quarrel with nnv o-nvprninent that could be --- o - thought of by men or angels in which they were not the rulers, and they have exerted every effort to keep up a feeling of discontent among the people and to engender hostility to the Union. The history of the woild does not contain, we repeat, a parallel case Persia and the known world as conquied by Alexander; the con- ouered neonle under the heel of - a Cfosar's rule, though often quoted by stump orators as the bright lu minary of a free, glorious govern ment; Poland and Ireland, teach far different morals than that we have presented for the future his torian. ; The Republican jmrty need haye no fears for the judgment of coming ages. When the tide of passion has passed away, the voice of malcon tents succeeded by that of reason and wisdom, and tho din of battle hushed, posterity will unaniiuously rise up and call them just, generous and magnanimous. They ask no charity, make no exctraet or apolo? SmtiyAslv ft just and dispassionate, trnprejuftteetj Judg ment of their whole course, and we feel assured many who are. now halting between two opinions will shout huzzahs to the conquering banners of Republicanism. . ! Reform. 3Iueh is said about reform ing the administration of the city of Raleigh, and it has been suggest ed that one Democrat be nomi nated by the Republicans in each ward, for Commissioner. If this was done in the Kastern and West ern ward.-, the Democrats might get control of the city if they should rally and elect three candidates in the Middle ward. V hatever re form may be needed, should come bv and through the hands of the Republican party. Let the party come together in the different wards and select their Lest men such as will reform and retrench. There are plenty of material of this kind, and if the-party will select them, and lay down a platform for them to be governed by, much trouble may be avoided in the future. A speedy dissolution will follow any attempt to seduce Rj'publicai.s into voting for Democrats. Let it never be commenced. Support Your lapers. The Republican Press of this State should be amply sustained by he party. The circulation of every I one should be increased as rapidly , 4. . ., as iossible. Give the people the tnut in a concise ana piain manner, i M A t : 1 and they will aj ways vote right. In each lolily where there is a Re- publican paper, our arty friends should rally to its support, and give it new life and vigor for the cam paign ujMin which we are now en tering. Those who desire a paper from the Capital will find The Eka the same that it was in 1871 ami 1872. Wc? ask our friends to give us such support as the paper merits. The prospect is encourag ing in the highest degree, and vic tory is assured if harmony prevails and a full vote is polled. Support your newspapers witn enthusiasm, and half the battle is won. Accepts. E. W. l)orsey (not Faucttt, as some of the newspapers have it) the newly appointed Keeper of the Cap itol, accepts the position and will enter upon the duties of the office on the 1st of April. Mr. Dorsey was Clerk of the County Court of Burke County before the war; was a Con federate soldier during the war, and lost one of his feet in battle. He is a good Republican, and will no doubt make an acceptable officer. COltltliSPON DENCE. It mast not be understood that The Era endorses the sentiments of Ita correspond ents in every instance.

For centuries their race has -been deprived of education., " By their sighs and sweat and blood they have built our Colleges and educated our sons. During all this time they have been denied even the boon of learning how to pen a letter to an absent friend or read the Bible. For them and for us for our mu tual good Divine Providence has wrought out their freedom. With surprising eagerness they now seek . to educate their children ; hence it is believed by many lobe due them that one of their number should hold the place of Superintendent of Public Instruction. They waive this claim. Then let him who Is selected be an unquestionable friend to this class of our citizens. The candidate ought not to be a west ern man." There are but few col ored people in that section. It is hardly to be supposed that our western friends can be so intimately acquainted with the condition and wants;, of the colored man. , The candidate ought not to be a citizen of Raleigh. The complaint, wheth er just or not, is frequently made that nominations are -"cut and dried " in the State Capital. This is not in harmony with the princi ples of Republicanism, Greater caution should just at this time be observed In this matter because the selection will be made by a com mittee and not by a convention of the people.

We have offer j where a man, by inclosing fifty cents to the extensive firm of "Greeuhorn & Co." can realize, by t'active canvassing," from .twenty five to fifty dollars a day. Some of these benevolent fortune makers offer still better chances, j They don't want money they want agents, to whom they will give all the way from two to five thousand a year. How many young men have grown rich through these brilliant offers the late census fails to tell us. But the latest, and, the most princely offer, comes in the shaDe of a lottery scheme. It heads its circulare "$250,000 for only $50." When we first read this offer our brain reeled : at the suddenness of the fortune that was thrust upon us, for "only $50." We felt half in clined to take a couple, and give one to the poor, just to link our name wTith the Astors and the Pea- bodys of the age. But we lost the I ri cm i m fr rnrohiA sn miifh fbl SO VltyOAAl fcVT little money by reading and think ing too much of the scheme. We discovered we were addressed as a mere fraction of a unit, and that unit a big one. The unit purchased the fortune for the benefit of its smallest fraction. In plain Eng lish, about sixty thousand persons put in $50 each to make one person rich. The odds were against us. We tried to figure out the ghost of a chance, but we abandoned it in despair. We reduced it to a sum in proportion. If we always lost in matching pennies, where the chances were equal, how much of a chance would we have to gain the fortune nromised for "only $oU," with fifty-nine thousand lucky fel- lows against us ? So we have turn- ed our back 6n the $250,000 which I nas4pen offered to any one wno dq lempiea to part wiw; vueir;uaru earned wages at the instance1 of this great temptation. We advise them to figure up their chances.

A fortune is a good thing to have, but the only reliable way to secure it is to work for it. .Follow some nonest calling: i be sober and industrious: deserve the confidence and patron- age of tnecoinmumiy in which you live ; build up your reputation by the thoroughness of your work ; and spend less than you earn. These simple rules y ill in time bring the reward due your labors. The wealth you have thus earned will be fruitful of happiness and secure to your declining years that con tentment which springs from hon est industry, and the consciousness of having done your duty to your self and mankind.
