Is it Anybody's Business?
Is tt anybody's business
If a gentleman should choose
To wait upon a lady.
If the lady don't refuse ?
Or. to speak a little plainer.
That the meaning all may know,
I it anybody's business
If a lady has a beauT
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman does call,
r. when he leaves the lady.
Or, if bo leaves at all ?
Or is it necessary
That the curtain should be drawn,
To ave from further trouble
The outside lookers on T
Is it an v body's business
Hut the lady's, if her beau
Rides out witfi other ladies
And doesn't let her know?
Is it anybody's business
Hut the gentleman's. If she
Should accept another escort.
Where he doesn't chance to be?
Is a person on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is it anybody's business
Where that person means to call ?
r, if vou see a person
As lie's calling anywhere,
Is it anybody's business
What" his business may be there?
The substance of our query,
Simply stated would be this :
Is it anybody's business
What another's business is ?
If it is, or if it isn't,
ft We would really like to know,
For we are certain, if it isn't.
There are some who make It so.
f'.The Fighting; Cocks,
I A rallc from the Spanish of Yriarte.
BY JOHN (1. SAXE,
A line old cock a cock renowned,
In brief, for many a mile around
His native farm-yard, came at length
With a young cock to pit his strength :
A callow chick, who fought so well,
Despite the odds, that strange to tell
The elder was compelled to yield,
And, fairlv vanquished, leave the field
And laurel to his youthful foe,
Who now set up a lusty crow.
As dunghill victors always will,
in pride of courage, strength or skill.
All breathless with the battle's heat,
The other sought a safo retreat,
Where thus, he gave reflection tongue:
"Well fought by Jove! for one so
vouug ; ,
;ive him the proper age and height,
Jle'd make, no doubt, a pretty fight!''
No more our philosophic bird
With his late foe was seen or heard
In close debate, for well he knows
That words, at last, may come to blows;
And with a chick so fierce and tough,
One trial clear.'y was enough !
Hut soon it chanced occasion lent
A turn to give his temper vent :
A neighbor truculent and bold
Despite his years, (for he was old,
And long hail gloried in the praise
t r brave exploits in former days,)
ur hero forced into a fight,
And, rallying with all his might,
Soon drove him fairly from the ground!
Alonoat last he looked around,
And seeing that the coast was clear,
That none the monologue might hear,
Thus to himserf expressed his mind :
What unexpected things we find !
Fr such an old historic cock
llow well ho bore the battle shock !
J low vencrablo age appears !
And so I spared him for his years!'
MORAL.
How shrewdly men contrive to hide,
K'en from themselves, their wounded
pride !

Effects of Cold in ITntteniiig-.
A producer of pork in Musk in g
gum county, Ohio, who has made
an experiment with hogs with a
view to ascertain how far cold re
tards the rate of fattening, reports
the following results: Carefully
weighing the hogs fed, and the
corn led to them, and estimating
pork at four cents per pound, he
found that what he fed out during
the first week in October returned
(in pork) 80 cents per bushel; the
first week in November, CO cents;
the third week, 40 ; the fourth week
in November and the month of
December, 25; the first half of
January, o: the last half, 0. In the
October week of the experiment
the weather was pleasant and
warm. It gradually grew colder
till the latter part of November,
from which time it remained about
stationary till the 1st of January,
after which it ran down to zero,
and below in the latter part of the
month. The hogs were well hel
tered in a good pen with plank

Klcction tor
Judges
Kitrhth
in the
Judicial
Second and
lMstricts.
To the Editor of the lira :
As the time for action approaches,
he question naturally presents it
self, What is the duty oftheKe-
nublican party in regard to tne
Judges of the I'd and Sth Districts?
Both the Kepublican and ueino-
cratic parties have been heard in
regard to it ; and both oi them nave
unequivocally declared the act or
dering elections in the lid and Sth
Districts unconstitutional.
Why do I say so?
In 1872 the General Assembly, of
which the writer of this was a mem
ber, when the Legislature was dis
cussing the oliices to be filled at the
"next regular election," it was
proposed to order an election to be
held for Judge in the Sth (Judge
Cloud's) District.
Some thought that as his prede
cessor. Judge Starbuck, had never
qualified, and therefore no vacancy
had occurred as is contemplated in
tho Constitution, the Governor'
appointee, Judge Cloud, could only
hold the oltice by virtue ofhisap-
E ointment till the General Assem
ly could order an election. The
idea was, that such vacancy not be
ing contemplated in the Constitu
tion, the Governor could only fill
the vacancy until the people could
choose a successor.
The Democrats, however, pressed
the matter so far that the Attorney
General, Judge Shipp, was con
sulted and gave his official opinion
that Judge Cloud held his ollice by
virtue of the Governor's appoint
ment eight years from August
1S70, as Judge Starbuck would
have done.
This construction was accepted
by the Democrats, and came fully
up to the position which all the
Republicans both in and out of the
General Assembly had then, and
have ever since maintained. Thus
both parties became pledged to the
position that an act ordering an
election in the Sth District was un
constitutional. So much for the
Sth District.
Xow,as to the 2nd (Judge Moore's)
district.
No one ever doubted the power
of the Governor to fill the office for
the unexpired term of Judge Jones
when he resigned.
Judge Jones had qualified and
held the office for several years, and
the case fully met the provision in
the constitution requiring the Gov
ernor to till "vacancies occurring
by death or resignation," and none
of the arguments that were, or
could be, urged in regard to the Sth
were tenable m regard to the sec
ond ; not a whisper of the sort was
heard from any one, the doubt be
ing in regard to the Sth district,
which was conclusively settled by
the Attorney General, as had been
claimed by the Republican party of
the State.
Thus the matter stood until the
Democratic party In the .Legisla
ture sought to sow discord in the
State at the sessiou of 1S73-'T4, and
ordered an election to be held for
Judge in both the 8th and 2nd dis
tricts to fill the unexpired "terms of
Judges Starbuck and Jones.
When the bill was introduced in
the House, of which I was aniem
ber, the Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, Col. Dennett, of Anson,
introduced a resolution a-king the
opinion of the Supreme Court in
regard to the constitutionality of
the bill, which was unanimously
in lho IIl)USL but
delcated
lrle Senate.
The Kepublicans of both Houses
maintained unanimously that the
bill was unconstitutional in regard
to both the 2d and Sth distric ts, tut
particularly the 2nd ; and' the bill
was only taed by a small vote,
some of the IemocraU and all oi
the Republican voting ugahist it
And I have reason to believe that
the construction of the Republican
of the (Jencral AMnombly wan en
dorsed by the Governor, tho entire
Republican pre, and the great
ma of tho Republican party of tho
State.

passed it with "tne provision, umi
the Judce eledt in either of these
Districts might qualify- before -tinpi

This section of the act renders it
peculiarly wicked in its-character;
nnd dflntrerous in its results, pre-
venting: the immemorial usages of
the State, and threatening uieuu
ministration of justice, and commit
ting lho judicial power oft hastate
not under the Governor's commis
sion,! with the great seal of the
State, but by a mere certificate of
anv Judge thereof. " .
What must be the inevitable re
sult should there be a new Judge
elected in either one of these dis
tricts, but a personal conflict in the
Very IflHJllUa ui U9iibc) vr
the rival claimants and their re
spective supporters ?
Suppose the new and the old
Judges should appear at Court-on
the first day of the term, one with
the Governor's commission, the
other with fudge Mitchell's, or
Judge Albertson's, or Judge Tour
gee's certificate both ascend the
bench at thesame timeeach orderp
the other to retire, and both refue,J
as they mostcertainly would. Lach
orders the sheriff to take the other
into custody! what shall the sheriff
do?
If he obeys the old Judge the
Judge elect goes to jail for contempt
of court ; and vice versa, if he obeys
the Judge elect, the old Judge goes
to jail. If he puts both in jail there
will be no court ; arid if he obeys
neither of them, he puts himself in
contempt. What then ?
In either event, the supporters of
each one would come to blows in
the court house, and the laws dis
graced in the halls of Justice, and
the strong arm of martial law would
have to iuterfere to secure peace and
prevent bloodshed.
May God Almighty avert such a
calamity.
What shall we do to prevent it?
If we refuse to vote at all, we in
vite the evil we so much dread, for
a Democrat would be elected in
each of the districts even though he
should receive but a single vote,
and would be quick to precipitate
the conflict.
Kvery man should vote for the
present lawful incumbents, not be
cause we approve oi the law, but
like we did in 1S71 while denying
the legality of the Convention act,
we still voted for delegates to the
Convention in case it should be
carried. So now, while we de
nounce the act, we cannot ignore
the election further than to make
no nomination, but vote for Judges
Moore and Cloudy
Let the Republican party in those
districts, in their county and dis
trict con vent ions, simply recommend
all the people of the district to vote
for the lawful incumbents when
thev make their regular nomina
tions lor Solicitors and other officers.
If the Republicans make nomina
tions for Judges in the 2nd and Sth
districts, they admit the act to be
constitutional, and stultify them
selves; they cannot consistently
nominate Judges ; nor could Judges
Moore and Cloud consistently ac
cept a nomination, for if the act be
illegal, as we contend it is, tnei
whatever the result of the election,
those gentlemen are the lawful
Judges in their districts until 187b,
and as such it will be uieir duty to
bold over and resist at all hazards
any encroachment upon the judicial
power entrusted by the State to
their keeping. Let every one then
in the 2nd and Sth districts frown
down this revolutionary measure,
and for the sake of good order,
peace and the dignity of the State,
cut off the evil designs of those who
desire anarchy, by voting for their
present lawful, rightful judges. In
this course there is safety and de
liverance. REPUBLICAN.
"Woman and Politics.
To the Editor of the Era :
This is an age in which friends
ought to be able to differ without
disagreement, and to debate with
out bitterness. There can be no
harm in a frank and honest inter
change of opinion upon important
questions of political or social policy.
I am an opponent of what is
commonly known as " Woman's
Rights." If any one has even the
remote desire to see the introduc
tion of such a principle in our South
ern Society, I regret it. Against
the insertion of such a plank, or
even the splinter of such a plank, in
the platform of the Republican
nartv. presently or prospectively, I
should earnestly protest.
Woman's sphere of usefulness and
happiness is in the domestic and
social circle, and not in pubiic life.
Her field of labor ,iies within the
sacred precincts of home a home
hallowed by her pure love and mod
est mien, and made happy by her
preseuce. Such a position tor her is
loftier and more congenial than that
of clerk, or merchant, of lawyer, or
dPctor, or politician.
By nature she is not adapted to
professional service or publicduties.
She cannot, at all times, well and
properly discharge the duties which
pertain to professional service or
official station. Our Southern la
dies, the loveliest, the purest, the
most mouest on earth, uesire no
such thing. They abhor, and
will alinosi universally repei the
thought.
Let woman be ushered into the
professions, or the political arena,
as canvasser or editor, and she is in
evitably brought into conflict with
men. Contests arise. Sharp thrusts
must be given aud received. From
these ladies should be always se
cure. Intosueh a warfare let us not
encourage them to enter. Who
wishes to see his wife, his daughter,
his sister or mother thus involved?

Candidate for Congress in the
" ' Second District.
To the Editor of the Era:
There are ; at least seventy-five
thousand colored voters in this
State. They have stood by the Re
publican party like a " Stonewall"
from the foundaton of the party, on
the 27th day of March, 1867, until
now. In every emergency they
have proved themselves worthy of
their freedom and the rights of cit
izenship. Another campaign is
upon us, ana tne coiorea man will
be called upon and expected to do
battle for the principles of the Re
publican party. There are many
colored men in the State who have
qualified themselves for places of
honor and profit; which are within
the : gift of the Republican party.
Merit should be encouraged; and
wherever there is a coTorett man
capable of tilling any of the posi
tions within the gift , of the State
and National governments, he
should, at least, be given an oppor
tunity to do somethfng for himself,
and thus encourage : others to pre
pare themselves for similar posi
tions. '
With these introductory remarks,
1 take the position that the colored
voters of the Second District are en
titled to name the candinate for
Congress in that District, if they so
desire. The District is overwhelm
ingly Republican, and if the colored
voters desire a man of their race in
the Congress, they are entitled to
have that preference gratified.
There are several colored men in
that District capable of representing
the District. I may mention Messrs.
Hyman, of Warren,. O'Hara, of
Halifax. Abbott and Dudley, of
Craven,and perhaps others unknown
to the writer, who would do them
selves honor and reflect credit upon
the party.
My individual preferences are for
Mr. Hyman, because I have known
him longer and more intimately
than the others. And Ltnay ask
with pertinency, where is the man,
who, upon merit, deserves more
from the party than John A. Hy
man? The steadily increased vote
of his county the good feeling
among the races in that county
and the confidence that he has of
the entire people of Warren, all tes
tify to his worthiness and prove his
merit. Should he be the nominee,
he will make friends wherever he
goes, and will no doubt increase the
Republican vote in every county in
the District. Hurra for Hyman
and victory.
In conclusion, I desire to say that
the gentlemen mentioned in this
communication are leading men in
their counties. If either should be
nominated, the District will be in
f;ood hands, aud the working Repub
licans will be Tecognlzedjyid assist
ed as far as possible.

Hon. Joseph JDixon, of Greene
County.
To the Editor of the Era :
As the time is rapidly approach
ing for the people of this district to
choose a suitable person to repre
sent them in the next Congress of
the United States ; and as several
names have already been suggested,
please allow us to present the name
of Greene county's honored son, the
Hon. Joseph Dixon. Mr. Dixon is
a man every way qualified to fill
the high position to which the. Re
publicans of his native county wish
to call him. Besides he is a strong
man, and we are cordially of the
opinion thac he can poll more votes
than any other man in this district.
During the dark and gloomy days
of 'G3-'4 the Union men of his coun
ty always found in hiui a true
friend and faithful sympathizer, al
ways ready to do all in his power to
ameliorate their suffering condition.
1 o the year of 1867, :ter the pass
age of the reconstruction acts of
Congress, we find him actively en
gaged organizing the Republican
party of this county, anil urging the
people to accept those measures, re
gardless of numerous ieers, scoffs
and scorns of former associates.
In that hard year of '6S he did
more for the suffering poor of his
county thanany man in it. Through
his humane and unceasing efforts
he succeeded in procuring a large
quantity of pork, corn and clothing,
which he, with his own eye. saw
fairly ;and equally distributed
among the poor of his county re
srardlcss of race, color or party.
In tho same year of 1808 the par
ty honored him with a seat in the
lower branch of the North. Caro
lina Legislature ; and ' li l0l he
was nominated and elected to fill
the unexpired term of the Hon. D.
I lett ton in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, both of which positions
he tilled with honor to himself and
credit to his county and State. Mr.
Dixon is an energetic, talented busi
ness man ; a successful farmer, and
a man who knows the wants of the
toiling masses, and will do (if sent
to Washington) all in his power to
aid and relieve them. Jle is one of
the people, just such a man as we
need In Congress at this time. He
is a man universally liked by the
colored people of his district, and
this district. We know him to bo

KEPUI1LICAN 15KSOL,irriOX.S,
The following is the platform of tho
Republican party in North Carolina
adopted in Convention ui, Raleigh,
April 17, 1872 :
Tho Republicans of North Carolina
In Convention assembled do
Resolve, 1. That tho platform and prin
ciplesof the Republican paity of North
Carolina, as heretofore enunciated in its
Conventions, are hereby le-allirmod,
and events have proved that their prac
tical enforcement is essential tOj tho
welt'areof tho country, and to the main
tainence of the rights, interests aud
liberties of the people.
2. That tho Administration of Presi
dent Grant meets, with our hearty and
uuqualilied approval, and our delegates
to the National Republican Convention,
to assemble at Philadelphia on tho fth
day of .Juue next, are instruct d to
vote for his ro-nomination to tho Presi
dency of the United States.-
o. That tho Republican party of North
Carolina favors as rapid a dirnunition
and as early an extinction of all inter- v
nal revenue taxation as tho exigencies
of tho Government will permit, for the
reason that the details ot its collection
aro necessarily ollensive, and in many
respects, oppressive to tho people.
4. That all internal revenuo taxes on
tho distillation ot" fruit ought to be abol
ished. 5. That tho republican party of North
Carolina recommend to the congress of
tho United JStates the passage of a gen
eral amnesty bill, and tho adoption of
all necessary measures for tho enforce
ment and protection of tKi civil anil po- .
liticil rights of all classes of 1 American
citizens.
0. That in a freo and and representa
tive govern meutwe recognize the par-
amount obligatian to provide elliciently
for the general education of the people,
ami we favor such legislation as will ac
complish that end ; that we respectfully
recommend and ask of the national gov
ernment, .Nii-h ai l, by the provision of
a public mud, or tho donatton of public
lands to the purposes of establishing
schools in the several Suites, as will o
cure to the masses of the people of all
classes the benefits of a liberal educa
tion. 7. That we fully endorse the. acts of
congress, passed to secure equal rights
and protection to the citizens of tho
United States, in tho several States ;
and we respectfully recommend a con
tinuance of- tho present laws and tho
adoption of such further legislation as
will more certainly t-eeuro fb the citi
zens, full and practical enjoyment of
all their rights, privileges and liberties.
8. In the opinion ofthis convention,
the democratic majority of tlio last leg
islature, by eousoii.lating into oi;ea t
its numerous propositions to amend the ,
State constitution, endeavored to force
upon tne people a false issue, and It)
coerce them into thj adoption of obnox
ious amendments, and insomuch as all
these propositions must be submitted
to the next legislature for ratification,
before the same can be referred to the
people, therefore.
Jie.sovnl, J. That the amendments
proposed as a, whole do not meet the
approval of the Kepublican' party, be-
cause their adoption would subvert t-s-scntial
pi inciplos of .the existing Con
stitution.
2. That Republicans
Liblieaus can endorse if
. ani'iidmeuts and tl;
Assembly mav adopt
portion ot said
next (ionerai Assemniy mav atloi
such of them as shall seem best for the
general welfare.
i). That wo cordially endorse the
administration of Gov. Caldwell, and
recognize tho fact that our people may
rely upon his firmness in upholding
their interests and defending their
rights ; and we heartily thank him for
resisting the revolutionary purposes of
thoso who designed to deprive the citi
zen of the protection afforded by I he
State Constitution.
10. That forgetfufof personal prefer
ences we pledge ourselves to support
earnestly and without reserve, the can
didates presented by this convention,,
believing that in unity alone Is strength,
and that principles are more important
than men to the republicans of North
Carolina.
Tho following is the plan of organiza
tion which was adopted:
Resolved, That hereafter the organi
zation of the republican party of North
Carolina shali be as follows:
1. A State Rxecutivo Committee of,
eleven .members, to be appointed by
the president of tho Suite convention;
and tho presidents cf the convention
shall be ex itlici one of the members of
sucli committee.
2. A Congressional District Commit
tee for each district, to bo composed of
ono member from each county, to bo
appointed by tho Congressional Dis
trict Convention.
.'5. A County Kxecutivo Committee' to
be' com posed of one member from each
township, to bo appointed by tho Coun
ty Convention.
4. A committer of live for each town
ship, to be appointed by the people.
llevolccd, That tho present organiza
tion shall eontinuo to exist until tho
new one shall bcell'ected.
Resolved, That tho representation in
the county conventions shall bo in ac
cordance with tho plan of organization
of the party heretofore adopted.
Ralkioh, Feb. 12, 1874.
The republican members of tho legis
lature, in joint caucus assembled, rep
resenting, as they believe, tho unani
mous feeling of ; tho republicans of
North Carolina do'
Resolve, Jst. That the education of
the poor children of tho SUite, so shame
fully neglected in the past, is a duty
the per'fornianeo of " which wo
have attempted ,to obtain from this
general assembly, controlled by a
large democratic majority, and in which
we have failed, but we shall never cease
our etlorts to obtain tho same at the
hands of the government, of North
Carolina, and we confidently rely upon
the people to sustain us.
2. That it is to tho best interest of the
people of Noi ti. Carolina, that hnrgreat
works of internal improvement shall
be pushed vivrorously to completion,
and to that 'id very available resource
shall be ap'i. d.
HI That tlu! truest economy dictates
that the vat mineral and agricultural
wealth f our trans-montane counties
utiouM l unlocked mi.'l poured Into
the m.u k.-i of ihe world, by thospeiily
con.tnieli'-u of both branches of the
Western North Carolina laiiroud, loth
to .i'kt(-vn and Paint Ro-k,
and tho republicans ovi of the
mountains pledge the;n.elve to -o-OpCI;ttc
V. i!h tllM frf-ople of the vct
ill any at d ail plan wni -h will accom
plish this end.
