Orders unaccompanied by cash -will receive no attention. Ransom Is evidently laboring un der great mental depression. Is it because at an early day he is to face tho indignant people of Tyrrell county? Can he go back to the bosom of his constituents with a conscience at rest? The carrion crows who expected in fcAtl to their hearts content over Uib pt easing of another session of i h TiHlnture are doomed to dls- t, ppointment, we think. Josiah is Uginning to exhibit a wo-begone apearaiice, i ul Cameron looks shockingly unhappy. It is rather hardtolhink that after all their zeal the pickings won't come up to the expectation. v Hon. Jno. R. Page, of Chowan, , ha been quite ill for several days, with an attack of the pneumonia. But notwithstanding his illness, he has been punctual in his attendance upon the sessions of tho Convention and has been at his post every day save two, when he was confined to his room. He now reclines upon a sofa in the lobby, and answers to his name though feebly when- over It Is called. Thus the Chowan delegate serves his constituents. Wo Iiojmi him a speedy convalescence. Tho Ilobeson Outlaws. Tho imanest looking men we ever saw were the Robeson out laws McEachin and Sinclair to day, when they voted upon the question disallowing them to vote upon matters in regard to the title ' to their own seats. They both had a 'mean jrrih" upon their counten ances, induced by the Inshings they received from Republican speak ers. They are sorry d elegates, (wo liked to have, said dogs, but we do not wish to slander the canine 'species); and are a disgrace to North Carolina. i Mr. Chamberlain made an able speech upon tlie Robeson contested case this morning. He handled the subject' with gloves off, and exhibit ed the animus of the Democracy in proper terms. He also characterized the course of the "Robeson out laws" McEachin and Sinclair in a befitting manner, during which they wiggled and Fquirmed like (Kjlitlcal felons, as they have proved themselves to be. , Tho political . pi ummet s cannot sound the depth of the grave in w hich these puppets of an hour will c buried .when the people are al lowed to act upon their iniquitous course.' - v.; : An Unkind Cut. Manlx,'. of .Craven, lo-day, in explaining his vote upon the Robe- son matter, .took occasion to deny that the Robeson Outlaws, in vot- ing upon questions relating to their I riht to seats upon - the floor, were to know who he must appoint? affording a parallel like unto that Did the President of the Conven or Ben Wade, In the Johnson im- tion consult the Republicans when (xac'iment case. Ho protested he appointed the Committee on nsalnst their entertaining the idea Constitutional Revision ? Who did t hut they were Wades, and stated Ii:it only one instance had recently purred in the history of legisla m where an individual had voted -'fishly fcx himself to attain a prom-; inenl rjositlon. The Speaker Wash - ed behind his ears, and composedly rubbed his snout. . , , ; f The faithful are evidently trou - bled t cause of 'certain kicking in the traces, and rumors of an early adjournment are rife. The so-called Constitutional Convention may be written down as a failure. ' Let it j' . be understood,; however, that from the first day of its session to the present time the Republican mem- bers of the body have labored earn - nestly for adjournment and for thus saving the people thousands of dol lars. ; The so-called Constitutional Con vention has become a farce,and upon the revolutionists . will fall the heavy responsibility. Gov. Held and Monuments. In. his last Message, Gov. Reid (now of the Convention) recom mended that "two small monu ments be erected by the General Assembly." and when, a few days thereafter, the General Assembly elected Gov. Reid and Judge Biggs to the United States Senate, it is said that Hon. A. W. Venable remarked that "that was the most obsequious Legislature he had ever known for it had carried out Gov. Reid's recommendation to the let ter only he thought the monu ments were too small to be either useful or ornemantal ! Republican vs. Democratic Liberality. Tho inpn tuho s wn.ro in snnnnrf. k. a a a- w aa. t a w v a wr J- -r w the Constitution of the United States, and then engaged in an or- ganlzed rebellion to break up the government, have ALL been par doned by a Republican Congress. The men who were convicted by the kuklux klans, and of making murderous midnight raids on Amer ican citizens for opinion sake, have ALL been pardoned out of the peni tentiary by a Republican President. The men who, were indicted by a grand jury for the heinous crime of murder have ALL been pardoned, before conviction, by the Legislature of North Carolina, at the instance qf and bv the assistance of Reoublicans. -All men charged with political W 4k offences in the State of North Car- olina have been freely pardoned, and the only man under bands is W. W. Holden .convicted of making an attempt to break up the kuklux klans, and save peaceable citizens I from being scourged, and murdered in their own homes. Hear it, good people of North I Carolina ! In the estimation of the Democratic party, it is a erreater crime to interfere with the kuklux klans in their hellish work of out rage and murder on peaceful citi zens than to whip, and scourge, and rob, and murder men for opinion's sake! - - -: The News seems to be much exer- cised about Gov; Brogden's appoint- ment of Commissioners of the Wes tern N. C. R. R. Now. we can as sure the iVTr.that when the Gov ernor desires its advice he will ask for it, and until then he spurns its assumed dictation as too mean for Fvjr cm w r iui uicuipb. What has tho News to do with the Governor's appointments? Is it his constitutional adviser? Must the Governor consult the News in order he nlace on that imnortant Oom- mittee? Messrs. Reid, s Clingman, Manning, Bennett, Turner, Dur ham, Morehead, Shober, McCorkle, Col cman, Dockery, Albertson, Bar- i 1 ringer and Toureree. The ten first I named Democrats, and the four last Republicans. Here is ten to four on a Commit- 1 tee in a Convention about equally I divided in politics, and in which the Bepublieans would .have a ma- I jonty if they had justice. And yet with a fraudulent Democratic ma jority in the Convention, and a pop ular Republican majority, in the State of more than, ten thousand against the self-styled Democrats, 1 the News has the unblushing effron- tery to try to dictate to Governor Brogden. But let it remember that its dictation will be entirely un available. Tlie Intolerant Democracy ! rptiav rTi.1T -tli a PaIo Af Tlnl1w and il Republicans WILIi have Justice ! 4 ; Much confusion arose to day, in the Convention, caused by an in tolerant spirit manifested by sever- I a leading Democrats By reference to our report of yes- terday, it will be seen that just be- fore the special order was announc ed the ayes and noes' had been de manded upon the motion of Mr. Chamberlain to reconsider the vote by which the resolution recommit ting the Robeson county contested election case was adopted. Mr. Manning moved to lay this motion of Mr. Chamberlain upon the table. While the Clerk was calling the ayes and noes upon the motion to table, and just as Mr. Tourgee had objected to the Robeson outlaws w McEachen, and Sinclair voting i-irkrin -friA nrnnositinn fnnnn which I he asked a decision from the chair) the special order was announced, and hence the ' Robeson matter and the objection of J udge Tourgee and were laid over until to-day. ; It came up after the " morning hour." Gen. Bamnger obtained the floor, and while stating a point of order upon the subject, Cling- man and Jarvis, and other lesser Democratic lights, vociferously bawled out to the Speaker "An nounce the vote I " This was a Erross discourtesy indeed. It was an attempt to bully and browbeat the minority, which brought to m ...... . ...... their feet Messrs. i Badger, Young and others, who bawled back lusti- ly, amid the nervous raps of the Speaker's gavel : "Object I " "Ob- ject ! ! " So deafening was the un dignant roar from . the Republican I side that it brought a sense of jus- tice even to Ransom, the President, and although "Price, of Davie,1? went around venting his little nar- row and illiberal ideas among the "unterrified," he failed to nerve them up, and they accorded to Mr. Barringer and Mr. Tourgee, both of whom had been seated peremtorily and discourteously by the President, the "simple boon" of a respectful hearing. Amid the confusion, Mr. Young took the floor and talked some plain talk to the "unterrified," and broke up their little game of "Bullying," by sending some hot shot into their ranks. Religious.
