on this occasion a public avowal of our prin

Be it resolved by the IZepuMkans of the
Third Chngresional Lidrict in Convention
a&etnbkd, That wc approve and heartily
endorse the recent legislative action of Con
gress in reference to carrying out in good
!aith the provisions of the 13th Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States, as
a step in the right direction, for the protec
tion of our people from outrage and mur
der at the hands of a certain political or
ganization. Resolved, That wc recognize in the, prompt
itude with which the President affixed his
official signature to the bill, another in
stance if that were needed, of his firm de
termination to protect and defend the poor
est aud humblest ot the citizens of the Re
public in the full exercise of all the rights
and privileges secured 'to them under the
Constitution.
Resolved, That we heartily endorscGov
ernor Holdcn as a good Republican, '.patriot
and statesman, and that we -pledge to him
afresh our, support a nd confidence.
Resolved That we recognize in the course
taken by our Senators in Congress, Messrs.
Pool and Abbott, on the Georgia question,
a wise and statesmaulike action, entitling
them to the confidence and support of every
Republican in the btate; and that we here
by endorse the sentiments contained in the
speeches of both our Senators on the said
Georgia question. -
Resolved, That we hereby ajbprove and
adopt the platform of resolutions adopted
by the State Convention which assembled
at Raleigh May 11, 1870.
Resolved, That we congratulate our breth
ren of the Republican party in North Caro
lina on the accession to our ranks of the
distinguished patriot and statesman, Hon.
8'. F. Phillips, and that we approve of the
action of the State Convention in nominat
ing him for the office of Attorney General.
Rmhcd, That in as much "as the exegeri
cies of the times have rendered cardinal the
principles embodied in the foregoing reso
lutions, we will not and cannot support the
nomination, tor Congress of any candidate
who will not approve and support the same.
The foregoing resolutions are the original
Trnes prcwntetl 'tjy Ow. Hlnclalr, but were
afterwards amended so as to strike out the
last clause ot the third and the whole of
the seventh resolutions. The substitute for
the latter resolution, which was adopted,
was oncreri uy Mr. .ueary irom uie ma
jority of the committee on resolutions and
led to the withdrawal of the minority from
the Convention afterwards. The verbal
errors in the other resolutions were from the
peculiar character of the author's chirogra-.
Mistkess akd Maid. An -exchange thus
discourses on the relations that should ex
ist between "Mistress and Maid :"
It thinks the time may come when these
terms will be no longer used. Be that as
it may, they represent just now the most
uncomfortable of relationships. Bridget is
on no sort of terms vvi-h 5lad:mie; and
Madame is in a mortal stew about Bridget.
Madame is cross and imperative ; Bridget is
sulky and destructive. Kindness is, a good
medicine ; it is pleasant to take ; and it is
full of benefits to those who will administer
it. Wc think it would remove a great deal
j'of the prevailing kitchen disease. Let mis
tress give a dose to maid every day, and
the columns of the Post arc ready to pub
lish the result. Now and then one enters a

with respect: they are the recipients ot

have sometninir io maiie mem eueeiiut ui
their work besides the

Occasionally the older of such a house is
not perfect ; but, as a rule, in this house,
where real kindness is given io ine uomcs-
tic helpers, things go the most smoothly.
But if you have a contempt for Bridget,
she will have contempt for you ; if you des
pise Dinah, she will despise you ; and if
you impose upon poor Jane, you will get
up some morning to ctiscomiorts lainy mer
ited. We have no idea that our hired girls
are saints ; we have about as little belief
that our families treat them with that de
gree of kindness which even good policy
would dictate: so we put in this prescrip
tionsupplemented at once by the state
mp.nt that if it be simply the kindness ot
good policy, and not the real thing, it will
never do. ,'

Thc-subjcct of Colonel Wheeler's address
was North Carolina, its Present, Past and
Future. It was patriotic, scholarly and elo
quent.' " j,;-.-7V- Vv'ji. -
The declamations were characterized by
accuracy, clearness .of enunciation, ease of
de!ivery,'and grace of gesticulation. There
was, in all, the naturalness . of original
sieech. Some of them were admirable and
only hypercriticism could find fault.
For the praiseof Senator Abbotts speech
words are simply inadequate. It was learned
and elaborate. iHjs subject was, "The Value
of Accuracy in Scholarship." Tbe leading
points were: Accurate Knowledge gives
Truth : Accurate Knowledge srives Author-
:. a o
thority to Thought- Accurate Knowledge
giveslndependencc and Freedom
to thought.
Philosophic research, individual
reflection,
the storehouses of leaminjprf
rhetoiic and elocution, 'Were all made to
contribute to this master-piece. No such
oration has been delivered this year in the
State of North Carolina. Men accustomed
all their lives to-listen to public speaking,
pronounce this effort of Senator Abbott's to
be among the best which thpy have ever
heard. The Senator concluded ; by enforc
ing the thought that the end of thinking is
human good. The good of knowledge is
the good ol all .God's children, without dis
tinction of sex, or race, or caste. -
The highest possible compliment was
paid to ine speecnes oi ine young. men, in
the declaration made by, some envious per-
sons, tnat tuey were not original, it was
an unconscious acknowledgment, of their
great excellence.' A more direct and obvious
compliment was the exclamation of an old
citizen: "There has been no better speak
ing than that in dhapel Hill for thirty-five
years!"
The report of ; examinations and recita
tions showed that in the Latin and Greek
classics, in the higher Mathematics and in
Rhetoric and English Literature, there has
been most satisfactory success. Some of

Editor Post :-In looking over tbe Post
.... '
of yesterday I find a good many errors, ver
bal and otherwise in the report of the pro
ceedings of the late Congressional Conven
tion at this place. Being confident that
these errors are inadvertent both on your
part and that of the reporter, I take the
liberty, of forwarding for publication a copy
ol the resolutions as hrst oflered oy myseli.
The resolutions originally . were seven in
number, and were so oflered to tbe uonven-
lion and afterwards submitted to the Com-
mittee. ot which I bad the honor to be ehair-
man. In committeo the 7tb resolution was
stricken out. and a portion of YEe last reso
lution, as published by yc, inserted in its
nlace: In1 the last resolution: before the
committee and before the Convention, thercit
was not one word inserted ln reference
Governor Holden. . It is the production of
Mr Lprv. offered V a flubstitute to inv 7th.
and was so adopted Vj the Convention.
The resolution endorsing Gov. Holden
was the 3d in the scries, following immcdi
ately tafterthei resolution - endorsing the
President, and ws amended by the mijori-
t j; ox. ine committee so as to stnke out the
latter clause. K t--?v-
The majority report of thiommittee em
bracing these amendments Was adopted by
the Convention after that t;jdy had rejected
the minority rcportand herp jet me call at
tention to he fact that it as the action Of
the Convention in ."relation to these reports
that Jed to. the withdrawal olhe minority
at a later period of the proceedings.
The minority, which consisted of the
Robeson delegation,-entire, and Messcrs Gal
loway and: Mabson, of New Hanover, found
that grave charges were being urged against
Col. pockery which they wished to see re
moved either by his iwn explanations or
thosq of his friends before they were called
to vote for him in Convention. Col. Dock,
cry, as the Congressional Ghibe i shows, did
not vlotc for the 15th Amendment on its fi
nal passage. ' He was and is charged with
being in opposition to Gov. Holden's ad
ministration. He is charged with endorse
ing the address of the conservative members
of the Legislature. He is charged with de
nouncing Senator Pool's speech on the Geor
gia -question. And with recommending for
appointment to office other than members
of the Republican party. The minority be
fore they committed themselves, therefore,
to Col. Dockery's nomination wanted to get
his explanation as to the truth or falsity of
the above charges ; but the majority, by the
course which they saw proper to pursue in
regard to the above resolutions, and by
compelling us to go into a nomination be
fore the resolutions, even as amended, were
submitted for acceptance or rejection to Col,
Dockery, rendered unavoidable our with
drawal. When I withdrew from the Con
vention, followed by Messers Galloway, and
Mabson, Robeson county did not any more
participate in the proceedings, so that in
reality there were six delegates who with
drew. The Post publishes that Col. Dcckcry re
ceived 20" votes on the nomination. The
public will have, a difficulty in appreciating
this fact when it is known that the twelve
counties which constitute the district have
only 1C. votes in all to cast for a Congress
man, and that 1J counties, composing Rob
eson with two votes, ' and Messrs, Galloway
and Mabson having .at their disposal oae-
tnTrrTbr tfie Tote''dfM'WewHaTOvcrr'fcfbscCr
to participate in the nomination.
It is well however that the rmblic should
understand that the minority are personally
as much, if not 1 more, attached to " O. H.
Dockery than even those whom.he has made
his peculiar followers and supporters by
reason of loaves and fishes. Wc do want to
support Col. Dockery if he will allow us to
do so as Republicans. But we cannot sup
port him if it is a condition precedent that
we throw overboard Gov. Holden and Sen
ators Pool and Abbott and take to our fra
ternal embrace uncircumciscd conservatives,
with whom our friend, the. Col., has man
aged to strike up a desperate flirtation on
the eve of the election. Of course the editor
ot the Wilmington Journal cannot be inclu
ded among the uncircumcised conservatives
and is therefore not alluded to here.

Mr. Editoh : The editor of the Fayette-
ville Eagle refuses to give any information
as to what he done with the funds belong
ing to the tojsvri of Rockingham whichjeame
into his innocent hands during his official
k
term as Treasurer of the town. He seems
to want to excuse himself for not supplying
me with the" information desired as to the
disposition made of the funds by saying
that I claimed exemption from taxation as
a "deformed pauper," was duly exempted
accordingly, and to having paid nO town
taxes, I have no good right to question the
management oi the town funds- But how
will you steer around the fact, Mac, that I
hold your receipt for $2 50, town tax,
paid to you ? There's no "deformity" about
this statement, you know, Mac. I am put
ting these questions direct to you Mac, and
I shall expect a candid reply no dodging.
As to my selling certain articles to the
town, of course I got my bands on them
"fairly and honestly" and as no one says I
did'nt come honestly into the possesion of
them I will say no more about that.
But he asserts that I charged twenty-five
cents register fee for searching the records,
when the tee fixed by law was only ten cts.
And I have only this to say about that
thrust: He was County Solicitor while I
was exacting these unlawful Ices, and it was
his duty to see me cauea to account ior it,
- land if he did'nt do it, he simply violated
his oath of office.- But what right has he
tp say any thing1 about what fee I charged
when he was:charge4 noifiing t
to As to my "hooking" funds received as
door-keeper at a Cheraw concert; that was
I a " view? taken of the afifatr many years
since; by enemies and was duly "dissolved"
by a bard published in the Fayettevillc Ob
server which exonerated me from all blame
