They would ut once claim that the fellow had been seized with madness and ought to be confined in an asylum. And yet, such a scene is presented to the ttyes of the public by the two men now acting as delegates from itob- n ivmntv : in the so-called con stitutional Convention of North Carolina. Sinclair and McEachin, two brazenfaced political swindlers, are daily using the privilege to sit un.) vntu on thpir own cases. The worst feature of this matter is, too, KJ that they are upheld in it by men ,! who claim to represent the intelli- goce orNorth Carolina.

Our belief is, "based upon Information from all Darts of North, Carolina, 'that if the question were now sub- uiitted to the people, the delegates to the present so-called Constitu- tional Convention would not re-1 main in Raleigh longer than was neoessarv to count the votes, and th.U too. by at least; twenty thou- .nd mntoritv.

Hansom could do all the rulings to get suoh an or dinance through, and we have no doubt that Sinclair and McEachin will walk up to the scratch admi rably in the way of voting.

Then thcxe is'but one policy that is, no compromise in this Convention ?A r-rf Remarks ,of 3Ir. French, of New llanQver," on Filibustering, in Convention, Oct. 5, 1875. The Convention having taken a recess, at 4 r. M.', Mr. French said : -Mr. pkesident :i rise to a question of privilege, not exactly, however, a question of personal nrivilefre. I propose to allude to what oc currea in is mormn I or l it has been customary for mem bers of deliberative bodies to use all proper parliamentary means in their power to defeat sucn measures as they consider inimical to the inter est of their constituents. It is often taken by the most honorable gen tlemen in the world. ; Such a course was taken by the delegate from Cleaveland (Mr. -Dur ham ) in the Legislature of iSGd-nO, and I take this occasion to say, that a more honorable and manly oppo nent! never met. Such a course has frequently been taken in the TJ. S. Congress and elsewhere. :, We consider ourselves aggrieved by the action, or rather lack of ac tion in the Robeson county con tested election case. We claim that it should have been decided at the commencement of the session, and that we have been very magnani mous in our forbearance hitherto. The studied delay of the commit tee in this vitally important matter. going as it does to the very basis of the organization of this body, and the validity of its acts, is, we claim. more reprehensible than our course in making dilatory motions, and in using other legitimate parliaments ry expedients. I state the position of the Repub licans in this Convention, when say that if you will give us a de cision in that case to-morrow, we will not embarrass you any longer I t " Jll.l A J. oy inuring uuutory motions, ana we will give you rope enough to hang yourselves, which you will undoubtedly do. I propose now to move an ad journment, so that the other side may consult and take such action as they please. v The North Carolina Democrats still insist that Jeff Davis should be pardoned, and at the same time in sist that ex-Governor Hold en's dis abilities shall not be removed. Davis committed a crime , which cannot be denied against a nation ; while uoiaen7s acts were, to say official : but they look upon the two as parallel cases, uavis has never been tried, while Holden has been impeached, deposed from office and decitizenized, so to speak. There is no similarity between them ; but the manner in which they are severally treated by the Southern Democrats plainly proves that Hoi- den's Union record, as well as his subsequent adherence to the lie- publican party, has more to do with their opposition to remove his dis abilities than anything else. In other words, they are making a po litical martyr of him, and perhaps it is as well lor Holden that they are. Washington Hepuottcan. The Baltimore Gazette says the arrangement for the dedication and unveiling of the monument to the poet Poe have been arranged,' and the ceremony will take place at the Western Female Hisrh School :in about two weeks. The monument has been boxed and placed in posi tion over the grave,. and will be unveiled at the close of the exer cise. ' Office Petersburg R. R. Co., , March 27th, 1872.
