We sec in several of the Demo cratic pa im.i-s within the last few days a studied and apparently con certed "attack uim)ii the Republican party by the use of the name of Judgo Tourgee. vTho ,attack. is made by holding up the Judge5 as the leader and dic tator of the party, and repn-scnt-ing all others in the Convention as blindly yielding up . their own will and judgment into his hands. ." The intention of this onslaught is to prejudice the iwirty on account of the Northern birth of Judge l Tourgeo, und to arouse the jealousy t of tho native-born members of this Convention. Tho native Republicans in tho Convention think theinselves coxn potent to take care of their opinions , and. actions.. They follow no man's KtulYartficr than they think Is Just and-Tight. They havo sufficient penetration to discover this shallow dovice to arouso their jealousy, and they smile.in derision at the feeble , plot. i 4 - Bo far as Judgo -Tourgeo is con- cernedi ho is amply able to jtako (tare of himself, ' and ivir every con test with hisassilant3,ved6 not ? fiwr tho result to hlmsel.

The Gourd has arrived Jake Brown has proved himself kind and obliging, and 13, evidently, a reader of Shakes peare as well,' and applies his n searches therein to a practical pur pose. Tho gourd . was presented th3 morning, and besides the direc tion contains the following choice and applicable quotations from the Bard of - Avon :i i "Wiien good manners shall be all In . one or two men's hands, and they unwashed too, 'tis a foul thing. "-J2omeo and Juliet Act 1, Scene 5. Let me wipe off thi3 honorable ce."King John. - Scene 1 5, 2nd Act.' ' ' . ; ; ' ,;The present is doubtless appreci ated by the recipient, and it is to be hoped he will use it vith!profit to himself, and thereby in future pre serve the honor of his State and constituency.-y,; - : Contingent Fund. The Democrats have a " contin gent fund." Never before in any Convention, has such a fund been proyided. What is this " contin gent" for? Is it to buy Speakers or Presidents ? Is it to keep Demo crats "straight?" Is it to appease Joe Turner for public printing? What is it for ? Republicans have nothing whatever to do with it; They do not finger the cash. They cannot audit any account. Ransom has made every committee Demo cratic, and the Committee On the "Contingent Fund" is Democratic par excellence. It is a Democratic committee, and every dollar they allow is allowed by Ransom's com mittee. Wo ask the News to inves tigate. Let us see what Joe Tur ner, a member of the Convention, receives from the Contingent Fund." : 4 . ,Wake Superior Court, Judge Watts presiding, commences a ses sion to-day. There is a full docket many cases of a frivolous char acter, thanks to a Democratic Grand Jury and it is evident that the ses sion "will be protracted. A large number of the people of the county are in attendance, and our -streets present an animating appearance. 7 The Board' of County Commis sioners are also, in session, and it is said the business before it, will bc cupyjthe attention of the Board for several days. : : I The Mountain a'Fire: Big Tom, the carpetbagger from Pitt,opened his hash-box on a dish of Repudiation," to-day, in the Con vention.

During his remarks much was developed which showed that this notorious - Bald mountain igniter was well acquainted with the work ings of Littlefield's .'free Vbar In the capital during the session of the General Assembly of I868-'69. Tom, give the second edition, and let us know4 who took sugar in ther'n. We understand that an ordinance passed to-day depriving the Clerks of the Superior Courts of their pow ers as Probate Judges. This is a re turn to the old system of delay and trouble under which the people la bored in the times of the old aris tocracy. Thus it is. that the ers are ty degrees attempting to carry: me people back to , the old regime, under which they had no rights which the aristocracy felt bound to respect. ? Ciievenne, ; Oct. 2. Tho com missioners to treat for the "Black Hills have, reached Throckmorton, homeward bound. -The attempt to obtain the hills is a failure.. The Democratic Board of Alder- men of the city of Raleigh, through their mouthpiece and: organ, the News, asserts that the' Board has a surplus of cash on hand,' and honors its "script." This is false. Although its clerk is collecting city tax, and they have repudiated script issued by former boards, and hence must be collecting greenbacks from tax payers, yet its orders ' on the Treasurer are repudiated. He has not the wherewithal to pay.! How is it ? Are there preferred creditors ? The people would like to know ? 1 For the Daily Constitution. Mr. Editor: I notice an article in the Albemarle Times, stating that the county of Bertie will be broken up by the Court House ring, and I am surprised to find that , P. H. Winston, Jr., is the ring-master. I mean by that, the one that gets the biggest grab for the least labor, must be the ring-master, and P. H. Winston, Jr., grabs $160.00 for pub lishing the Clerk's statement for 1875. - ... ...- . ' ; Bertie. STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. TWENTY-FOURTH DAY. (continued.) Saturday, Oct. 2, 1875. Our report of Saturday's proceed ings was brought to a close before adjournment, and, although there w?as nothing material done after its close, we desire to make plain some portions of the report. .,. v The ordinance called up by Mr. Manning, of New Hanover, pro vides that no Convention shall be called except by submitting the question to the people ; and amend ments to the Constitution are to be adopted by two-thirds of each house of the General Assembly and rat ified by the people. This was amended by striking out "two-thirds" and inserting "three-fifths" ; ! also, by saying that "no question of Conven tion shall be submitted to the peo ple except upon a two-thirds vote of each house of the General Assem bly." The ordinance passed its third leading. I The"Spcial order related to the paying of a per cent, on the bonds of the State, prohibiting the Gen eral 'Assembly from levying taxes for the payment or adjustment of more than five per cont.;of the prin cipal of the special tax bonds, and thirty-thrae per cent. ! of , all other bonds, until the .question of such additional levy shall have been ap proved by a majority of the voters; and allowing payment of no inter est, past or " future, on any State bonds. -:l Mr. Jarvis' (Dem.) amendment prohibits the paying of any part of the special tax bonds.. . . :i- The entire matter was recom mitted, and the Chairman said the Committee would . report on ' the matter : by 1 1 p. ir., Monday y for which hour the report submitted by Mr. Turner, from the Committee on Preamble, and Bill of Rights, re lating to the matter of the bonds, was made special order.

' Mr. Bowman called attention to the fact : that it took jurisdiction from justices, and desired,? in tho name of many, in his iscction, to whom the right to elect magistrates was dear, to enter his protest against this attempt to take from the peo ple power with which they are clothed under? the present organic law. I ' ' ';7 v?i i-7 - : Mr. J3uxton thought the call for the previous question was in inde cent haste. This ordinance would place jurisdiction at the will of the Legislature and entirely ?
