The Charlotte Democrat in dis cussing the fat that the judicial ciiiiiinittee had reported against the i.mnoslllon to remove Governor Holder disabilities, says: There art such things as "obli gations" and "gratitude" but oh how forgetful is poor human na ture." ... How true. In this same so-called Constitutional Convention there are criminals, or abettors of criminals, who only escaped their just punish ment through the . clemency of the Republican party. There are those who, as members of an oath-bound s cret organization swore to scourge and even murder innocent citizens fur opinion's sake..

We know the fact, that I in this and the surrounding coun-1 tli; "if the proposition had been submitted to the people, they would I have endorsed it without regard to I party lines. The old adage that they first .make mad," seems an-1 propria to as 10 ine men who now madly disregard the people's wishus. Such rules of action as X . AaS govern the usurping majority in ijuus. so-called Constitutional Cbn- vontion, must finally receive the Juf indignation of all good and true men. It uded to be said that the Demo? cratic party was only held together by the "cohesive power of public ldunder." - . : - There seems to havp teen a slight change In the processj The present usurpiug jjemocrauc majority In tlie so-called Constitutional Conven tion seems to hold together by the sufferance of MPuhIi PmnMw alias Self-Elected. : The comparison ppeux "Xteia-lCUlOUS " and we think as much ourself.

Ah, Clingman, that little spat with "Josiah." a few years since, "cooked your dumpling." Buncombe's chances are slim, old gentleman. Mining and such oc-. cupations will best befit you in these stormy times. There is a "-Reid" to be smartly shaken by the winds, before you can resume the senatorial toga. ' Whoa ! Ball. Bunn, of Nash, exhausted him self on the Robeson case the other day, and his wind having given out, he is compelled to keep a no ticeable silence ever since. We hone before the Convention ad- journs that he may sufficiently re cover to give the delegates another legal argument, and' if he should again show an inclination to arise we will say, " Git up Ball." It had a Proper Effect. The just remarks of Mr. Smyth, 01 iew nanover, nave naa ine ei- feet to drive Stone, (white), of the News, from the reporters desk in the Convention.

Holly, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Haiti, W. I., will preach in St. . Augustine Chapel in this city next Sunday. He visits Baleigh I for the purpose of placing his two sons and another Haitien youth in the St. Augustine Normal school. The "Self-Elected" alias "Public Property" must procure another prompter. "Little Davy" is too v much occupied to give him such assistance as necessity demands. CORBESPOK DENCE.
