THE DAILY CRESCENT. FRIDAY,... AUGUST 21. 1874. JOHNS. HAMPTON . L ;. ,PabPRiTO. Our Representatives in the Leg I si a " r" ),: - ..' ture. ' :; : . - In looking over tbe list of members elected to the legislature, we do not'findtht names of many old iioliticians. Tbe Ai sembly will be largely composed of new 'men.' We believe only three Conservativef have been re-elected to the Senate, though 6oroe members of the la$t House have been chosen as Senators, and the number ol Commoners Who have been re-elected, is not at all large, comparatively. Under these circumstances,1 we caanot with con fidence pretend to prognosticate whether the Assembly will prove' an-able one or otherwise; but we are satisfied it will be far above mediocrity, - ' Our representation from Wake will be highly creditable. In the Senate, Mr. Charles Busbee will worthily represent pur people. Though hot advanced in years, he has rieenVclose fti udent and a working man since his maturity. He will have but fef peers and hardly- a superior in the new. field of labor to which he has been called. In the'IIoue, Messrs. Strong, Stevenson, Whitley and Page are admirable represen tatives of the Metropolitan county of the State. The two latter are men of sound . sense V and discrimination and will take good care of the interests of their constit uents Mr. Stevenson is in addition a very good speaker and we ! do riot doubt will prove an admirable debater, and we confi dently expect that his course in the House will enhance the esteem and respect with which he is now regarded. Col. Geo. V. Strong is better known than yer! of long experience and great practice, he has a reputation that makes his name fami liar in every part of the State. He is a fine orator, a "Laborious worker and a true pat- riot;" Wake could have chosen no abler representative. He entered actively into thecanvais and by his extraordinary exer tions made our old county! so .hot for tht Civil Righters that he gained six hundred votes notwithstanding the baneful influence. which was Used against us. . . . L We have much to thank him for because of hia efforts to redeem our county. . That success should have crowned his endeavor is because he merited success and struggles so jinanfully to obtain it. Because of his recoirnized ability. we ex- pecthim Jo exert, a considerable influence In tile Assembly. Indaed jbis name has al ready been suggested by 8'ime - who kuow his fitness for the position, in connection with the Speakership of' tht Housed Should compliment to Wake county and a just re turn! for the service of Col. tStronic in the late canvass. It would be a proper ac knowledgement of hia exertions, as well as a happy result of our great political vie. tory ln this county. .He viould discharge the duties of Speaker, we are assured, satis f actorily to all, and creditably to the State. The Republic of Frauc& x rencn nepuDiic, according to a writer in the Fortnightly iRevietc, is impossible, and he considers that the impediments which stand in the way1 of a durable French republic are! threefold, which " he says, "I classify in a progressive order of magnitude: 1, politici.1, moraL 3, social. By the political impedi ment I mean one arising from the" distribution and composition of par ties in France. The difficulties un der this head are nm necessarily very serious in Kinu, may be so in degree. thouerh they They are pre- ciselv the difficulties with which statesmanship has to deal, and be long to a class of phenomena which are highly tusceptible fying influence of the lect and will. Hence, to the modi human intel though they may.j pieacui icai uuobnuicoj; tucou need not be insurmountable.' The mca'al difficulty is graver, as it springs from the national tempera ment of the French people. This all 'but escapes the action of states m ip, or yields only modification - applied over long periods of time; Tli third or social diificulty is the - - - ill,! i I : . . ..! - - ' " c greatest of all, as, while closely con nected with the moi-ai one just multiplied by the exceptional exacer bation of passions resulting from a series of disastrous incidents in the history of France, through which the average temperature of class an tipathies has been raised to a torrid heat,1 nearly, if not quite, uuprece- dented. I must not, another consideration either, omit of a general kinp, viz., that the transformation of Jan. old State hitherto despotical ly governed into a frjee common wealth is an enterprise of which there are no successful 'examples as yeti and that we are forbidden to wonder at this failure by an elemen tary acquaintance with the laws ch govern human society." Virginia Statesmen. Hunter, Wise, Stuart, Smith, Letcher and Bocock are about all left of those who in old times vere foremost- in Virginia politics. Hun ter is now State Treasurer, at $2,000 a year. He was at one time a prom inent candidate for President of the. T - i United States, and was Senator from Virginia. Under the Confed eracy he was Senator and the Secre tary of the State. Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, Secretary of the Interior un der Fillmore, is now a member of the House of Delegates of the State. Hon. Thomas S. Bocock, once speaker of the .United States House of Representatives later, Speaker ol the Con federate House, is now prac ticing law' in" Lynchburg. Smith and Letcher were both well known in Congress in their day. The lat ter was the "War Governor"; of Virginia.- All the above are looking to wards Cqngrefis. ; ' t (jurernor (faldwell's address of IVel come. to the State Educational As sociation July 8th, 1874. Mr. President- and Gentlemen: To me has been assigned the pleasant task of welcoming you to this convention. In doing so, I as sure you that it gives me great -sat isfaction to see and know, that the people of North Carolina are wakin up to, and feel the great import ance of making an effort to, secure the blessings of education to the risiner veneration ' :throusrhout the State.. 7 j; ' . r.;;' As iirnorance is an element of weaknesSj so knowledge is an ele ment of great; strength. Ignor ance is al blighfe- and a curse to any people. It fetters the mind, dwarfs the intellect, and debases the phy si cal man It perverts his moral ideas, weakens his faith in all that is ennobling and good, and reduces him whd was made in the image of God to a level with the brute. Education on the other ; hand, takes liold of-youth with a friendly and an affectionate grasp ; leads him gently through the green pastures and along the delightful paths of knowledge; points put to him the with a powerful lever to ; the pinnacle f greatness and goodness; fits him for all the duties of this life, and'furnishes the means to pre pare for a lull fruition of the life which is to come Our own beloved North Carolina stands sadly in need of good schools and educated men and women. She never can rise to the position she ought to occupy among her? sister States until her people are furnish ed with faculties for acquiring an education. They must jbe trained for the conflict of mind with mind-71 their intellectual strength must be developed by proper. ' culture they must be made to feel a confidence in their mental powers and a pride in the gifts of learning, before they can, with any rational hope of suc cess, enter the arena of life, where heroic deeds are done. As well might you expect the suckling babe to contend with the giant, as that the ignorant and unlearned could cope with the learned and cultivated in any of the avocations of life. Knowledge is power and must tri- umph in the end over ignorance. ''Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing, with which we fly to heayen.,, .Then, gentlemen, you have a laud able and a noble work to perform, and your piejence here to-day. gives promise that you ,liave a will to perform it Whenever men un dertake a thing with a determina tion to do it, they seldom fail; ob stacles, 'which appear insurmounta ble may rise up and make a faint heart sick with despair, the horizon may be obscured with overhanging gloom, the mental vision mlay for a while appear to be eclipsed, and even the stoutest nerves may mo mentarily tremble and grow weak, and all be filled with doubt i nd un certainty, but eventually the indom itable will of the brave and heroic, will overcome these obstacles and surmounting them all, march proud ly onward and upward to a -grand final success. ' .( f ... j Go on then, my countrymen, and 1 ccomplish the work you have uu dertakeu. ' Encourage otherk to buckle on their armor and come to your help. Cry out with a loud f . voice .gainst ignorance error auu ; vice; proclaim lustily for education, truth and virtue, and carry on your crusa le until every city and. town, every village and hamlet, and every hill and valley in North Carolina shall rejoice and be glatl because of the esTobiishment of school houses and churches, where the children of the white and colored I in their own separate buildings, may have oppor tunities to cultivate their minds, and to worship the eyerliving God ac cording to the dictates of their own consciences with none "to molest or make-them afraid."! ! When you shall have accomplish ed tjjus great and glorious Iwork, you will: have achieved a victory abundantly brilliant to satisfy the most i inordinate ambition. Your names and the memoiy of your good deeds; will be enshrined within the hearts of a people whom you have "redeemed, regenerated and dtn thralled." When your work is done and you" can doff the habiliments of this warfare and with approving consciences, sit under your own vines and fig trees, the, blessings of a grateful people will be upon your heads for a work so inauspiciously begun,: so zealously ! prosecuted and so. happily and successfully finished. Again, gentlemen, I welcome you to this convention, and bid you God speed in your labor; of love for the rising generation. , , The Next Con cress will contain many old-time Southerners. - -Frank LLeslies.- ' '' ; ) Yes,- and the whole country will be benefitted by their wisdom and ability in other words, the next Congress will conlain i many real statesmen. I Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage's Dar from lows : ky Story. -Eli Perkins writes Saratoga to the Graphic as fo Even the Boston darky the Ply mouth Rock Puritan darky has a profound reverence for Boston talent. The Rev: T. DeWitt Tal- mage tells the. old story here again, how a few years ago he walked into a I'resoyterian cnurcn in ioston. As he entered a colored sexton, now ; 'Have a seat, sah ?. : Plenty of seats dis mornm , sah.

"Fine! preacher, isn't he ?'? return ed Mr. Talmage. "Well, sah, -peoples has dif notions 'bout preachers-" 'frent "But he seems quite animated." ' "And appears to have talent;." 1 "Well, sah, I said afo', people's lia such dif frent notions bout preach ers. Dars some dat tinks mightv good on de words.

New man, sah !" not a York xiie ivo xtepuuiican I'lipers. jaypex-oaggers 1 ana negroes must take back seats' such was the language of an ex-Governor of this State u Don hearing ' that the State had gone Democratic 'on the 6th of August, and His Excellency (?) had been supposed to be a Republican. We tell the gentleman, and all the rest 01 that very small class of Southern Republicans who think with him upon that subject, thai: we as Northern men, or. carpet-baffo-ers, it yon lute tne term better) do not propose or purpose taking any! such position in the politics of North Carolina. We contributed our full share in the organization of the Re publican party in this State: we up held your hands and strengthened your Knees when 4 j thev became weakened by Ku Klux," social ostra cism, and the thousand and one ap pliances brought to bear by the Democractic-Conservatiye party ; we worked might and main to secure your election to the highest ofiice in the gift of our party, principles tnrougn evu as well as through kood i-eport and back seats will not suit neither ourselves nor those whom you place under a like political pro- duiuuu wiit us. iiewuern JLtines We presume that Gov. ;Holden is alluded to in the above article. We trust our brother of the Times has been misinformed. Ii cannot be possible that the Governor has turned his back on the adopted and colored citizens of this State. The recollection of their firm attachment and faithful services to him aid to the Republican party must be fresh in the Governor's memory. New North State. The Debt of the City oi Kaleigli. To ttie lte'Ws.of Borflsaud Scr'qiof the C'y of Raleigh : : i Anxious to do something for the relief ol creditors of the City, and to so shape the debt that the interest will le promptly naid, for sereral months the Bird of City Commissioners have had the subject under consideration, and have enactKl the follow- j ing Ordkiauce as the result of their labor. Every tax' payer is interested in the fi nance 1 welfare of the City, a much so as the Commissioners, and I every one should give their hearty co-operation to any meas ure calculatetl to relieve the City from its present emDarrassments. and place it on a permanent and safe financial basis. We therefore; appeal to our citizens who hold City $cript and over-due Bonds, to come for ward and exchange them for the new Bonds authorized by this Ordinance. Without the aid of the creditors ot the City nothiug can be done, but ; with their assis tance the City debt ean be so arranged, that with judicious management in the future, the interest can be paid every six months, and the Bonds mtt at maturity. 5 We respectfully appeal to our citizens to coiue forward aud aid us in carrying out the provisions of this Ordinance which has been passed in good faith I and with a siu-: cere hope that it will meet; the views of the public generally. 1 .Very Respectfully, . . . ; .
