DAILY NEWBBBNIAN- Seth L Cabpenteb, Editor. ; ; NEW BERNE, N. C, JUNE 5, 1874. j For Superintendent of Public Instruction : COL. STEPHEN D. POOL,! of Cuaven. THE SPIB1T OF, CONSERVATIVE KOH- INATIONS. No true Coneervative can fail to be delighted with the perfect unanimity and intelligent tion which! have characterized thus far the ac- de- liberations of our Conventions. It was boldly prophesied concerning the Raleigh District, that a storm of discon tents and divisions was brewing among the friends of good government m section'. that was and ut" it turns .out, that the wish father to the thought. Those sorely tried thoroughly proved patriots have held their con vention, and the result is in the highest degree encouraging. The whole mass of delegates went into the work of nomination-with a , r- - - : - I.- : : - coming dignity, an exalted self-respect, with a marked determination to be- and bring before the people the most suitable candidates for their suffrages.! Messrs. Manning, Cox and Turner,: all gentlemen of political prominence, with a valuable Conservative record, andj earnestly de . voted to the noble principles of the party, after receiving the most complimentary recognition of their services, were respectfully put aside and Capt. Joe Davis, of Franklin, was honored with the nomination. And what is a little ' ;- 1 i ' 1 1 . j remarkable ;in these corrupt, self-seeking times, i ' j m even gentlemen who stood highest in favor jwith the Convention, entreated their iupporters to . drop their names, that harmonious agreement might be fixed upon some more acceptable per son. How different from the greedy spectacle presented at Goldsboro and Kinston. Captain Davis is said to be a gentleman of excellent qualities both of head and heart, and in every way fitted to lead the Conservative forces to vic tory in the comino: election. The fact that he is the most .popular man ' in " the' district, is abundantly proven by the elated expressions of confidence and hope 'coming from all I parts of that region.' . The nomination of Gen. Scales in the District, gives equally as much pleasure as the nomination of Capt. Davis in the Fourthi Fifth We and know ! j were a fellow-student with Gen. Scales twenty i i three years ago, at the University, mm., intimately ana well. He possesses a vigorous intellect, a reliable -judgment' for these critical times, and has a steady, well-bajanced character, which is not to be successfully as sailed, either by the temptations of omca or by the sterner arguments of political controversy and opposition. At college he was so fond of debate,that it was almost impossible to spend a pleasant hour at his room withoutj being drawn into the vortex of an animated discussion. We presume that he is not an easier; antagonist for his opponents now than he was then. ; His re cord as a Confederate soldier, was one of which his friends have reason to .be proud; He is one of those safe, suitable men for an important po litical struggle, of which fortunately we have many in the State. He will lead ents in the coming canvass as he his cOnstitu- - - : 1 lead his gal lant brigade to battle, fearlessly, conscientiously and with a determination to succeed. With such candidates to carry our standards, we can not do otherwise than triumph oyer the broken, - demoralized factions of the Radical party. Hav ing done everything we could to give peace to the country, even 'at the sacrifice of our man hood and most reasonable convictions,! we can go into this contest now without i ny repinings or useless regrets. The foe is before us with a miserable flag, on which is written all over the insulting language of political c isolation and social wrong. If he can win wHh mous history and such a develisl. platform of principles as he now presents, the this country are sunk too low for demption, and deserve their fatei white men of mercy for fe Lst us stand manfully together, make the canvass sharp and thorough, and the jacobins of thi3 country will find a grave that ' no resurrection tramp will ever open. : i I TUCKING. ! One of the worst results, that, has accmed to the country, growing out of the late war, is the throwing to the surface and into prominent and responsible offices, many men! who in the wildest dreams of distorted ambition would never have thought , before the war, of being honored with such positions of trust. And as we take up the black list oi such, of the men who have brought ruin, desolation and bank ruptcy upon our dear old State,'; and upon her public works, we find no name, that is more suggestive of utter incompetency , and unfitness for the place he holds, than that of the individ ual who is now President of the ;! Atlantic Rail road. As we have said before, : and desire to repeat here, (for we would not willingly do him an injustice,) we believe him to be honest. We It do not believe that he would knowingly wrong, or permit others to wrong, the stockholders out of a single pennv. But when we have said this, " -. ' ' - - ... i . we have, told all his qualifications for the office. ' - -.-:'.. :i ' ' - i He will not steal money, neither will a cat-fish, but who for that reason would ever thick . of taking the latter out of its natural element and makJLDg it a President of a railroad? 'Honesty is an indispensible requisite in a railroad Presi dent, and highly adorns a.nd beautifies J the character of any man. No man should: be President of a railroad who is not honest, but he should also possess genius, shrewdness, and administrative talent of a high and peculiar; or der. He should be able to command the respect of all men. He should have great decision of character. In fact, he should be in all these respects, everything that Dicking is not. Therefore we say " deliver us from the body of this death !" Will not the Governor come and help us ? . - 1 - j . : ' FEEEDMAN'S SAVINGS li A NK The New York Sun, of June 3rd, in comment ing upon this concern, says: "One of the worst features of the insolvent Freedmau's Saving Bank, which has its branches scattered all over the South, is that it has habit ually been represented to the ignorant freedmen that this is a national bank, and that the Gov ernment is responsible for deposits. In fact, nobody is responsible for the funds intrusted to the institution, unless the depositors can find some way to , collect from the freshly white washed ;Gen. Howard or the bankrupt Cookes. By the reports of its own officersthe Washing ton institution alone has loaned over $500,000 upon questionable securities in direct violation of its charter, of which amount the Young Men's Christian Association got $62,000 and Boss Shep herd's Washington Club $28,500, while it is im possible to say what sort of security the officials of the Southern branches hold for the loans they have made. The Beaufort, S. C, Standard says that depositors in the Augusta branch are selling their claims at sixty cents . on , the dollar, and that in Beaufort a depositor, having given sixty days' notice that he wished to draw his money, on going for it aj month after the expiration of the time, was told that he would have to give another sixty days' notice.. The action of Con gress in trying to conceal the rotten condition of this institution is extremely unjust to the freedmen, who are thereby led to continue their deposits with a banking company which cannot pay its debts. Conservative Meeting in Carteret. ""!'' At a meeting of the Conservative Demo- ocratic party of Carteret county, held at Beaufort on the 1st day of Jahe -'A. D . , 1874, James Rumley, Esq., was called to the chair, and Wm. J. Doughty, Esq., re quested to act as Secretary, on motion of J. Henry Davis,' Esq. ' ' The meeting being organized . and ready for business, the delegates from the vari ous townships handed in the lists of repre sentatives, and on motion a committee was appointed on nominations and resolu tions. ;-' - : The committee on. nominations and resolutions organized by electing officers, and retired from the convention, where upon Capt.

The Colonel i . . m . . spoke with warmth and Enthusiasm tipon the necessity of a wise system of common schools in North Carolina, and pictured in vivid terms of glowing1 indignation the dark and ominous cloud which hangs uon the vera e of our political horizon, called "civil rights bill." j! Upon the conclusion Col. Pool, Capt. W. T. date for'the Senate from the district com posed of Jones, Onslow and Carteret,! was loudly called for, and in an hour's speech more than sustained his reputation! for eloquence and oratory , jand showed that he was worthy of the appellation of Ifour youDg Demosthenes."

I I i 3.

Resolved, That while we regard! the object of government to be the protection of person and property, nevertheless mon opolies and all legislation for the benefit of the few at the expense) of lithe many is contrary to the geniu$ -of free institutions, at variance with thejjtra ditions of our party, and utterly opposed to that great maxim of our faith which teaches, us that the object of wise govern ment is the greatest good to the greatest number. . ; -( ; . . .! 6i Resolved, That as the party 6t re trenchment .- and reform, , wo advocate no system . of internal improvements ithat will beggar our peorile with oppressive taxation; that .we demand the most rigid economy in the , administration of public affairs, and that while i we are willing to turn over to the State creditors such works as their means constructed, and toipav our nonest oongauons to the extent of our ability, yet we are unwilling to be taxed to pay the special tax bonds issued' at the instance of adventurers aad corrup tionists in order to perpetrate a grand larceny upon a prostrate State. ! 7.
