In our opinion if they expelled every mnmber of the pre sent Legislature, connected with this treas onable organization, there would be but few democrat members left. The Governor's Message. We are un able to lay before our readers, according to promise, the entire message of Gov. Cald well, but have endeavored to give the most important parts. It is one of the longest State papers of the kind ever published, and is well written, being , replete with good, sound and practical advice to the members of the General ' Assembly. It is evidently the inspirations of an earnest na ture, and the production of a gentleman who believes thoroughly what he says. We direct the careful attention of our readers to the extracts we publish this morning. - : Be A Man. Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not-be ashamed of work, or of hard work.

Changes in Rail Road Management. Col. S. L. Fremont, who for many years has been - engineer and superintendent of the Wilmington and Weldon and for one year past holding i cflsnection-therewitb, the same office on the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad, has resigned his posi tion in the first named corporation, to take eftect bn the 19th of December next. 1 The long term ot service which. Col. Fre mont hasgiven to the management of works of so public a character as Railroads, at tended as it has been with the signal sue? cess, which he by his ability, has brought to the long lines of railway mentioned, en titles his resignation to more than passing notice. . " - On the 19th of December 1854, Col. Fre mont entered on his duties as Engineer and Superintendent of the Weldon Road. The date of his resignation will fulfil seventeen years of continuous service. The receipts were increased under his superintendence from f 450,000 to $600,000 j prior to 1861. During the war the extraordinary require ments lor transportation the burning of bridges and the dismantlement of the road required untiriDg energy with such ability) in rail road management as few possess. Since the close of the war the increased revenue and present condition of the road and its rolling stock attest the fidelity of its management. On thW Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Railroad he has not been less successful. Reforms have been inaugurated and the revenue increased $10,000 during the present year, with a present rate of increase pf about $4,000 per month which wilt be large! addd to by new regulations facilitating the dispatch of freight and additional conveniences to .pas sengers and shippers. The ticket system has been adopted which was unknown on the road befofe I rolling Btock increased, Statioa houses built, and many necessary repairs completed, and others inaugurated , during the short time he as q office Our citizens may congratulate thewijjelyes that the Charlotte road with all its yast prospective benefits to our city is to have the undivided 'service of so competent an EBgineer and Superintendent. ?

By the way, Mr. Mercbast, . there is no better medium of informing the public where you are and what you have, than by advertising in the Post. ' . ' .Fere.

Mr. Editor: We learn it is proposed to publish, for lhe benefit of those who lay claim-to exclusively eDjoy "social position," a biographical sketch of the present claimants. It is further, proposed that the geneology of each claimant shall be given in full as far back as the grandfather or grandmother, if they should be so fortu nate as to have had one that is known. Personalities, will be avbided as much as possible, and the intellectual capacity of each member of ; this.soctoZ party, will be set forth as far as may be practicable. Those who possess none of that commodity will excuse an omission concerning them. The work we have will not be published. until a sufficient number of . subscribers have been obtained to secure its success. ' The value of such a work wouid be in calculable at this time, and would prove a useful hand-book after General Grant's re election in 1872. We are not yet informed where the subscription list is to be found. Grandmother. Robeson County, Nov. 30th, 1871. Bear Swamp Academy being centrally located in this county and large and com modious, the Republicans of said county held there on Saturday, the i8th' ihst., a large and enthusiastic meeting, which was duly. organized by " callIhgMr. Clinton Ox endihe o the chair, and C pi. Sinclair and C E. Barton, Esq. to act as secretaries. On motion the chair appointed Messrs. Sinclair, A. A. McLean, C. E. BarUu and James Oxendine, a committee on resolution. The meeting having been addressed at length by Col. Sinclair and other speakers, the chairman of the committee on resolu lions presentea tne lonowing, wnicn were adopted unanimously: Whereas, I appears by evidence elicited before the Legislature of North Carolina, the outrage committee of Coneress. the United States Circuit Court, and various U. S. Commissioners in divers portions of the State, that a secret organization, designated as the 'Invisble Empire" or "White Brother hood," has been established throughout the Southern States, and especially in the State ot North Carolina, the principles ot which are antagonistic to the National and State Governments, and seeks by unlawful means to subvert and destroy the reconetruction measures of Congress and the solemnly ratified amendments to the National Con stitution. AnjJ, Whereas, This secrt political associar tion is bound together by oaths which bind its members by falsehood, perjury, scourg ing and murder, to accomplish their treason able purposes without showing mercy to age, sex or condition, thereby rendering impossible any security to life, liberty or property in the State of North Carolina, and should therefore be denounced by every patriot and every one who aspires to the character of a christian gentleman irrespec tive of party. And, Whereas, members of the above named political and treasonable association, in - - - - and out of the Legislature, under , the in splration of the oaths and obligations of the same, did impeach and remove from office Governor W. W. Holden whom they charged with having violated the Consti tution of the State in his bold and manly efiqrls to suppress their blood stained "Em- pire' of treasou and violence. Therefore llcsohed, That the people of Robeson re p'udi&te and denounce all forms of lawless ness and all secret oath-bound political associations as unnecessary and uncalled for under our form of government, and especially do they hold that the oaths and obligations of the "Invisible Empire" are incompatible with that ot a ; member of the Legislature or officer thereof, and any such being accessory ; before or after fact is unfit to be a law maker and should, be promptly expelled ;t - i. . . r . ml ' i l pfpopveUj tuai tui? meeimg respecuuuy recommend to 1 he present general .sgem- - i . ". . ' - blv to institute at an early day a rigid tinv into the qualifications of its members 1 under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Resolves, That if, op proper investigation, it fehall appear jiat members ot the J'lnvisJ ble Empire," or members ot the Legislature disqualified , under the fourteerith amend- ment to hold seats in said bodv did take part in the impeachment and removal of Governor Holden from office, the judiciary committee of both branches of the General Assembly should be instructed to inquire inta the legality of said impeachment and take such actabn in the premises as may comport with the honor and dignity of a great and loyal State. 1 r : Resolved That President Grant and Gov. Caldwell are both entitled to the thanks of the country for their efforts in the suppres sion ot lawlessness here and elsewhere; ' Resolved, That a ' copy of the , foregoing preamble and resolutions of this meeting be f oi warded by one of the secretaries to the presiding officers of the General Assembly to be laid before that body and that copies be also furnished the Wilmington Post and Raleigh -Era, for publication. - Clinton , Oxendine, -Chairman.

He visited thir- teen counties eleven went Republican, the other, two. Democratic Mr. Arnold says there are no less than fifteen solid factions of Republicans in the city of Richmond and county of Henrico, and that this and not "Negro Conservatism" was the cause ot the loss of Richmond city to the Republi cans. Bra. Pardons, Respites, &c. His Excellen cy. Gov. Caldwell, has granted nineteen pardons, two respites, and two commnta tions for the year 1871. Ot the pardons two were for assault and battery: one of manslaughter; one ot burglary; one of rape; one of murder; and thirteen for larceny. Of the commutations one was of murder and one of rape. Of the respites two were convicted of murder. Twelve of these par ties were white; ten colored and one Indi ah, Raleigh Carolinian. The Tremaine Brothers performed last night at Farmer's Hall, and were honored with as large an audience of ladies and gentlemen as we have ever seen assembled in this town. Both the organ music and singing were excellent, and the large assem bly signified its delight by frequent and loud applause. The Hall is not suitably constructed for such superior entertain ments as the Tremaine Troupe affords, but it will certainly repay all to go and hear their fine music Eagle 23. j The En Klux. The Rutherford Star, says : Several dis gusted ku klux have made statements this week, of their connection with the order, and ask to be excused. One man swears that he was sworn in by a Methodist circuit rider who told him that R. A Shotwell, was chief ot Rutherford county ; Plato Durham, chief ot Cleveland county ; J.
