C AP IE F E AR , BUNDAY MOVING, OCTOBER 151876 THE COXSTlliiTMAl AMENDMEMS. Full Hynopals Explanation and Cum- - ' ; ment. The amendments proposed to the Con stitution of North Carolina arc worthy of the! serious confederation of every voter in the State. If lican be shown, as we be lieve it can, thij the proposed amendments will prove an advantage to the people, and an injury to no 3ne, they hould meet with universal appn vah But this "cannot be expected when e reflect that the negro vote, which is nr anipulated by the leaders . of the Radical party, will be cast accord ing to order In almost a solid ma? against ihem. Such a jejemditiori of things is a mi- fortune to any country. Any movement ! in the way of reform I will' be liable to be thwarted unleethe honest andiri$elllgent voters act in entire harmony: because a few bad men with eighty thousand ignor ant negroes atitheir back .constitute a formidable opposition at any time. For this reason ft lk all Important ; that the ' chaiures tronoM4i in our State iVinstitntV.ti should be thoroughly, explained and under- stood, -so that the nenentsaney will confer may le apparerit to every unprejudiced man in the.

' The amendment on this subject gives the Legislature p4wer to enact laws against eanylnjp concealed weapons, without ln arfartng, however, with the rights of Ysry freeman to bear arms. The prac tlca of carrying concealed weapons, par ticularly In the prjpsent condition of affair?, should be condemned by every peaceable and law-abiding ciitizen. ', APPOINTMENT OF OFMCER9. The proposed change is simply Intended to regulate the jappolntihent of, officers not otherwise provided for, and to prevent we uasn anu coiousion wnlen the ambig uoua section In tjie present constitution has caused. Under the present constitu , tlon the Governorj arrogated to himself the ; power to make many appointments which ; were not plainly provided for. This . amendment clears: up that dlflicultv, and give the Governor power only to All euch j ofiett as the Legislature has not provided j for. .In other words, it.glves to the peo- W$ representativjea, the members of the , -egUlature, the privilege of filling appoint ' xaants, which hav$ been held heretofore by one man. It interferes with no fight that the people now njoy- 6f electing any of their public officers, butjeurtails the power of the Governor, and fives it to the people through, their representatives. No friend of Republican government can object to" tbJU change. TheGovernor, in good old timet, exercised nj such power. 'i ' JT-DICIAL. ' .'. The several proposed amendments In the 4 dJclary department are highly Import ant. The number of Supreme Court Judges, It to propOed,i shall be reduced "' from S to 3. Tali pill save to the people vary year the salaries of two Judges, which is $3,000. Before the war wehad only thre Judges! and the reputation of the Supreme Court of Ntfrth Carolina was above reproach. aid 11 the business was disposed of with eW and satisfaction to the people. Thretj J udges can do the bus iness of the Court ks well as five, and the' salaries of the two extra Judges should be . saved. The number of Superior Court Judges will be reduced frdm 12 to 9, and the sal aries of the 'ihree Judges, amounting to $7,500, will be say. 1 every year. This Is no small Item in he present Impovered condition of our people, and nine Judges een hold the Superior Courts without difQ- eulty. .' . ! .'4 ' '' '' Provision" Is mide as of old for the t Judges to route; that Is, no Judge will be allowed to. hold courts In the same circuits twice In succession!. This wise provision established by oui fathers worked well, and by changing the Judges everv year, 'there will be -lets dinger of corruption and partiality In the administration of rustice. Provision Is also ifaade for the establish ment by the Legislature as exigencies may arise, of courts injferior to the Supreme Court. This amendment Is intended to "facilitate the ends of justice and save to : the tax-payers thfe large amounts paid very year for boarding criminals so long in our jails awaiting for the regular court. Special Courts migjit be established in the larger cities wherej the jails are r,requently crowded with prise ners guilty of larceny and o&er crimes, apd In the counties pro vision might be made for the speedv trial and punishment ofl criminals, arrfl thereby save annually thousands of dollars paid out for guarding Sand feeding worthless characters, many of whom are well satis- nea lying m jau at tne public expense as teey would be loafing and pillaging honest people. It Is also! proposed to give the Supreme Court the4, same jurisdiction thev aa oeiortnue warpver quesUons of fact, which will be a great advantage in the set tlement of estates, Jtc., -and the Legisla ture may appoint gome other place than 1 Raleigh for the ajtting of the Supreme 'Court. ' The nmrlfrirm in th!nn tion requiring two Week for each court is to be changed, so that in small counUea, where one week la imply sufficient for the transaction of business, there shall be but one week's term; In; larger counties lonrer tennamaybe held! as the business may demand. J ' ri There Is proviston also made for the election of the efupreme and Superior Court Judges by the, people for a term of eiht yean; but after the first election the Legislature may provide for the election of 8uperlor Court Judges by the voters of the repectlvedlstrlet4and in case of a va cancy, th Goverbor shall 'appoint the Judge who shall serve until the meeting f the legislature, hrhen that body shall not iwf ui luicipircu wrm. Provision la madl for the removal, of a iuagv ior mmiai of pnystcal Inability bv a two-third vote of the Ledslature. By this provUIon, the people- will be enabled to ret rid of Incompetent Judges without the delay and expense f Impeachment, and a Judge may for rinillar caus remove an Incompetent clerk. f It U'propoaed to enlarge the jurisdiction of maxristrate's ronrtx tn n where the Talue. of the property does notl T- w iu oe a great conven- knee to the people a now every little case ttherecorenr of property ha to ff to tha Snrjerior tlnnrt y &vw ' . I c cusgea inline juaicui department of Vfic State were voted for by Republicans as well as Democrats, and w ill not ouly be a great saving In dollars and cents, but will promote the ends of justice and con tribute to the good order and peace, of so ciety. ; I f There is one provision vhieh we regard highly important, and which should In duce every white man in the State to sup port the amendments. 9. y It Ls a notorious fact that the negroetf if this and other districts are becoming every year more ambitious for office and more exacting in theiT aspirations. It .b nrore than proboble that a ncaxo will lx? run by the Republicans in - thi or the Raleigh district at the next election. O'Hara, who is now .a candidate for - elector on' the Hay e and-Wheeler ticket,is an aspirant tor Juflge. He or forae other negnt may bc elected under the present law,r but if the amendment are adopteti in November, the Judges will be electefl by the voUrs of "the whole State, and there will be no danger of fuch a cure heing vi.-ited ujn u. Is not this enough ty caue every decent white man to vote for the amend ments ? I -. . ' COUNTY GOVERNMENTS. The change proposed in recard to county govenimente is intended for the relief ff thcWe-counties which haye leen infliete! with negro rule. The amendment pimply leaves the whole matter' in the " hands of the Legislature to mike Mich chances as the public welfare may require..' For in stance, if the amendments are. ' adopted, the Legislature may, if the people demand it, provide for the epjointment of macisv t rates ;as they were formerly apprinted,' and may also make provision Tor the board of county, commissioners. Such a chantre is not needed in counties where the. whit 6 have a majority and elect cornj-et'ent and nom-ot magistrates ana. comim.-sicners. But jn fomo counties 'the Condition of the jH-Aple is jitiabl"e and deplorable in the extreme. ' : . Look a-t Edgtonrbe, Halifax. Grnyille and other Radical counties. The people who-pay the most of the taxes 'have no voice in selecting the county oflicers; the public money is tquandered and stolen: extravajranee and swindling are the order of the day; the credit of the counties is be low .par, and county bonds are sold at a heavy discount and the tax payers litive to foot the bills. Ignorant negroes h6d the justice s courts, which are a disgrace and mockery in the sight of decent . meri, and the same character sit on the coruinissiou'-.er-'s bench to ' arrange and regulate the county finance. , j . i ; Contrast .the -condition of thee Radical ridden counties with that of Wilson, Nash, Wayne, , Duplin; and other Democratic counties. Here we see white men in office.! We see the county finances managed with prudence and honesty; there is no swind ling every tlmig goes on smoothly, and the county orders are as good as green backs. Under such circumstances ought we not, as1 honest and just men, to. be willing to seelthe; macistrates appointed by the-Lecrislature. j as thev were in oldeiii times, and especially if "that would ave' n . . i i . i - i . - uur ureiureu uuuer neiro uespousnii Irom being oppressed and robbed as they now are." W'e cannot st?e how any county will" be hurt by this amendment and we can all see ow Hjme counties would be- greatly beneflted. ' " ' This is the amendment the Radicals are harping upon,; They talk Justiiy. about lo cal sell'-government.'and the rights bf the people. What they mean though bv looal self-government is the election of netrro magistrates, and what they mean bv the rights of the people is the rieht for the negroes of Edgeeombe, ilalitk, &e., to rule over the white men and women of these counties with a black iron rod, and to defraud them of their hard earned in comes and property. " . ' CIVIL RIGHTS. There are two amendments proposed on the subject of civil rights. One prohibits the intermingling of the white and black children in the schools, and the other forbids the intermarrjasre between tbe ne groes and the whites. Thesejameudments, if adopted, will stop the agitati&n of these questions so far as our Stote Is concerned. The Republican. Convention of 1868 did legalize the marriage of a white man with a negro woman, and the subject will be agitated again unless it is prohibited in the constitution. . We are astonished that any w,hite man should oppose this amend ment,' but. to his everlasting ili it said, there was" one white Republican delegate in the Convention who voter! against it. His name was Thorn, a car--pet-bagger froni Warren county. ' SUFFRAGE. ' On the subject of suffrage there are two important '.changes propbseil. One re quires a voter to lite IK) davs. in the county before he can vote, and the other provides that no person hereafter convicted of felony or any other crime infamous by the laws of the State, shall not be allowed to Vote until restored to citizenship. Both of these changes arei intended to protect the purity of the ballot-box. The system of "colonizing" -voters that is, importing them from one countf or Stateinto another, to change the result of elections, has been introduced in our State since the advent of Radicalism, and a law requiring 90 days residence m a count v, instead of thirtv, would have a tendency to check this nefa rious practice. This provision would give honest men some protection ajrainst fraudulent ''squatters,7' who, under the present law, could be brought into the county 30 days before the election to kill the votes of honest and bona -fide citizens. The other provision prohibiting thieves and other felons, from voting, commend itself to every honest manl ; There should be some difference 'between a good citizen and a bad one, and we do not see how anv party-can contend that it is right 1 for 500 roues in the penitentiarv to offset the votes of 500 good and worthv citizens. This amendment offers a reward for hon esty,.and a punishment for crime, and it is calculated to check much of the stealing that is going on in the country. ' ; , PENITENTIART. It is proposed to amend the article on the penitentiary sjo as to allow the Legisla ture to put a part of the comicts at work on. railroads, Ac. This would be a great saving to the State. The penitentiary has already been a heavy expense to the peo ple, aud this provision will reduce the ex pense and make the convicts a benefit in stead of a burden. - FREE SCHOOLS. Some slight amendments are proposed intended to advance the cause of Educa tion in the State, which were supported bv both parties in the Convention.- CONVENTIONS. . ! On this subject, the only -amendment proposed is one providing that no Conven tion shall be called without first submitting the question to the people. There .can be no reasonable objection to . this w ise pro vision, which will render it impossible to call any Convention in the. future without the consent of the people, LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT; The changes proposed in this department are of great advantage. Heretofore the Legislature have prolong ; the sessions much longer than necessarv, and the mem bers have voted themselvei such per diem a they chose. The amendment pro posed limits the sessions to GO dav nd Uie pay to $4 per day and 10 cents mfleage. Bv this change there Would be a creatre ducuon In the expense of a Legislature. Thecost of a Legislature could not exceed f6Q 000, counting everythinrr, whereas the cost, has averaged in the list eixrht vear 140,000 a session would be saved, more than enough to pay the cost of the late Convention, which the Radical leaders told epeople would cost 500,000. The other ordinances of the Convention are Immaterial, providing for the distribu tion of the amendment among the peo ple, the election, fcc. I" Wc bave given as fully as our space would permit an explanation of each amendment. We do not see how any eood citizen who desire the welfare of. North Carolina, can vote aralnst them. And even-jf he did not fullv endorse every chance proposed, it must be admitted that they would a a whole be of. Incalculable benefit to the State. NATIONAL I)G3I(CRATIC PLAT FORM. AIMIPTED AT ST. LOUIS, JUNK 1816. We, the delegates of the Democratic jarty of the United States, in national convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of the Federal Govern ment to Ik in urgent need of immediate reform : do heiVby enjoin upon the nomi nees of this Convention and Af the Demo cratic irty iu each State, a zealous effort and co-opera t-ion to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of every fonner litical;conuectioa to undertake with u.s,.his first and most pressing iatri otic duty for the Lkmocracy of the whole country. ' - We do here reaffirm our faith in the per manency of the Fedjira! Union, our devo tion to" the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments, universally accepted as a final settlement of the 'con troverts that engendered the civil war, and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perietuity of republican self-government : in an absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, theital principle of, the Republic ; in the. supremacj- of the civil ' over the military authority ; in the total:eparation,;of Church and State, for tht sake alike of civil and religious free dom : in the equality of all citizens before juit Jaws of their ow'n enactment ; in the liberty of individual conduct unvexed by sumptuarv laws ; in the faithful education of the riing. generation, that they raav preserve, enjoy and transmit these best conditions of human" happiness and hope. We behold the noblest products of a hun dred years of changeful history: but while upholding the bond of 6ur Union and great charier of these our rights, it behooves a free .people to practice also that -Sternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. THE NEED OF THE HOUR. j Reform is necessary to rebuild and es tablish in the hearts of the whole people the Union, eleven years ago happily res cued from the danger of a5 corrupt central ism, which, after, inflicting ujon ten States the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has -honeveombed the offices of the Federal government itself with incapacity, waste. and fraud, nilceted fctates and municipali ties with the contagion of misrule, and linked fast the property of an industrious people iu the paralysis f hard times. Re form is necessary to establish a sound cur rency, restore the public credit, and main tain the national honor. RADICAL FINANCE DENOUNCED. We denounce the failure for nil theso eleven years to make good the promise of tne legal tender notes, wmeh are a chang ing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non-payment of which is a 'disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. " We denounce the improvidence which, iii eleven years of peace, has taken from the people in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the legal tender notes, and squandered, four times this sum in useless expense, witnout recumulating any reserve, for their redeniptkU. We denounce the financial imbecility of that party which, during eleven years of peace, has made no advance toward re sumption; that instead, has obstructed re sumption. b' wasting our resources aud'ex haustiug all our surplus income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy re sumption to specie payment,, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As such a hindrance we , denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we here de mand Its repeal. . ' 1 DEMOCRATIC .FINANCE DEMANDED. We demand a judicious system of prepa ration by public economies," by official re trenchments and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation to assure the whole w4orld of its perfect ability and perfect readiness to meet : any of its promises at the call of the creditor entitled to payment. We believe such a system well devised, and above all, entrusted to competent hands tfor execution, creating at no time ah arti ficial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming the public mind into the with-, 'drawal of that vast machinery of credit bv which 95 per cent, of all business transac tions are performed a system open, pub lie and inspiriug general confidence, would, from the day of adoption, bring healing on its wings to all our harassed industry,lind set in motion the . wheels of commerce, manufactures and the mechanical arts; re store emDlovmet to labor and renew, in all its national source, the prosperit- of me people. . REFORM IN TAXATION. Reform is necessary in the sum and mode of. Federal taxation so that capital may be set free from distrust and labor, lightly burdened.! We denounce the pre sent tariff levied upon nearly five thousand articles as a masterpiece of injustice, Ine quality and false pretence. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It liias imjioverished'many industries, to sub sidize a few; it prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor; it has degraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the hurh seas.. It has cut down the sales of Ameri can manufactures at home and abroad, and depleted the return of American agri culture or industry, followed by half -our people. It costs the people five times more than it produces to the treasury, obstructs the processes of production, and wastes the fruits of labor. It promotes fraud and fosters smuggling,. enriches dishonest offi cials and bankrupts honest merchanti. We demand that all custnmhrm tv-tirtT, i shall be only for revenue. RETRENCHMENT IN EXPENSES. Reform is necessary in the scale of pub lic expense, Federal, State and municipal out of Federal taxation has swollen from $60000,000, gold, in 1S00, to $450,01.000, currency, in 1870. Our aggregate taxation was from $184,000,000, gold! in IStf), to 400.000,000, currency, in 1870, or in one decade less than f per head . to more than $15 per head.' Since the peace the people have paid to their tax-gatherers more than thrice the sum of the national debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal Government alone. W'e demand a vigor ous frugality in every department and from every officer of tht government WASTE OF THE PCBLIC LANDS. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate wastes of the public lands and their diversion from settlers by the part v in powar which has. squandered two hun dred millions of acres upon railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate' has disposed of less than a sUth directly to tillers of the soil. CHKIsTIXN CITIZENS AND HEATHEN CHI- XESE. r Reform is necessary to correct the mis takes of the Republican Congress and the errors of our treaties, and our diplomatic relations which have stripped our adopted citizens of foreign' birth and kindred race repressing the Atlantic of the shield of American citizenship, and 'have exposed our brethren of the Pacific coat.to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and, in fact, now by law denied citizenship through natu ralization,, as being neither accustomed to the habits of a progressive civilization, nor exercised in liberty under equal laws We denounce the policy which thus discards tie liberty-loving German and tolerate the reviYaLof the Coolie trade in Mongo lian women. Imported for Immoral par poses, and Mongolian men hired to per form servile labor contracts, and demand such modification by Congress within a constitutional limitation, aa shall prevent the further Importation or Immigration of the Mongolian race. REFORM IS THK CaMPAIOX I&SC1. Reform i necessary, and can never be effected but bv making it the controlling issue of the election, lifting it above the two false issue with which the office holdinc class and the party in power seek td smother It The false isue with which they would enkindle sectarian strife In respect to the public schools, of which the establishment and support belong exclu sively to the several Suto, and which te Democratic party has cherished from thfrlt foundation, and "resolved to maintain with out partizanry or ireferrnce for any class, sett or treed, and without contributing from the Treasury to any the - falie Issue by which they seek to lbrht anew the dying embers of sectional hat ml betweeu kin dred people, onre unnaturally; estranged, but now reunited in one indivisible Repub lic and a common destiny. REFORM IN THE CIVIt SERVICE. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experience proves-that the efficient, eco nomical conduct of the irovernmental bus iness is not possible if its civil nervlee be subject to change at every election be a prize fought for at the ballot-box be a brief reward of party zeal, instead of post of. honor, assicned for proved competency and held for fidelity in the publie employ ment. That the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time of all our public men, nor the instrument of thir ambition. Here again professions falsified in the performance, attest that the party in power can work out noprac,tical or salutary reform. REFORM AMONG THE HIGHEST PUBLIC SERVANTS. Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service President, Vice-President, Judges, Senators, Repre sentatives, Cabinet officers. These officers, and others in authority, are the people's servants. Their offices are not. a private perquisite: they are a public trust. When the annals of this Republic show the dis grace and censure of a Vice-President; a late Speaker of the House' of Representa tives marketing his. rulings as a presiding officer: their friends profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five chairmen of the leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed in Jobbery; a late Secretary of' the Treasury forcing balances in the public' accounts ; a late Atforncy General misappropriating public funds ; a Secretary of the Xavy enriched or enriching his friends by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his Department ; an ambassador to England censured for a dishonorable speculation ; the President's private secrtv tary barely escaping conviction upon trial for guilty complicity In frauds upon the revenue ; a Secretary- of War Impeached for high crimes and confessed misde meanors the demonstration is) so com plete that the first 6tep in reform must be by the people, or honest men from another party. The disease of one political organ ization infests the body politic and thereby making no. change of men or party, we can get no change of measures and no reforms. j RADICALS AND RADICALISM MUST B DRIVEN FROM POWER. All these abuses, wrongs and crimes the product of the sixteen years ascend ancy of the Republican party create a necessity for reform, confessed by Repub licans themselves. But their reformers are Voted down in ronvrnttnn . atA .tu- placed from the Cabinet. The mass of uonesi voters is powerless to resist the eighty thousand office-holders Its leaders and guides. ' Reform can only be had by "a peaceful, civic revolution. Wedemand a change of system; a change of administration; a change of parties, .that we may have a change of men. A Story of Joe Jefl'erson. goes that Jefferson, the actor, we,nt to a bank to cash a check faring the long run of Rip Van Winkle and the bank official demand ed that he should be identified. "Why," said Joe. "I'm Jefferson, now playing at . Booth's." ; "That may be," replied the cautions clerk, "but I've seen Rip many, a time, and it seems hardly possible you are the man; any way, you must get some one who knows you." Jefferson slunk against a post in the peculiar forsaken air of the returned sleeper, .and said in the words of Rip: "If my tog Schnider vaa here he voud know me." i j ' "Pay that check," cried the cishier.
