A-4- n fit CA I VK F E A R. TUCKS DAY M()KNIN(;, OCT. -0, 1870 THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. Full Syiio)siei, Iixplaiiatlon and t'om- meat.- - The arncndmciits projf.ed to the Cort ' stitution of North Carolina an worthy of the BeribuAconfiidpratioiv of every voter in the State. If it can he shown, a we be lieve! it rah, that the proposed amendment will prove an advantage to the people, and an injury to no one, they should meet with universal approval. i But this cannot he expected when - we reflect that the negro vote, "which i manipulated by the leader of "the Radical party, will lw cast, ueco'nl iug to order .in aluiott."a. solid rna.-f againrf them. Such a .condition of things is a mis fortune to any country. Any movement in the, way of : reform' will' he liable to he thwarted unices the honest and intelligent Voters aet in entire, harmony: because a few had men with eighty thousand ignor ant negroes at their hack constitute a formidable opposition at any time. For this reason it is all important that the changes proposed in our State Constitution should'.)' thoroughly explained and under stood, so that Ihe benefits they; will confer may be apparent to every unprejudiced maiijin the State. . Vj give h low a synopsis of the" 'dillcr- ent amendrneiits, with notes cxDlaitiinir ineir provisions, to . wmcii we can tin special attention of our readt rs. -Every tax-payer of the .State, no matter to which party he IkIoti, should mid-these mnend nients with care, and should vote, on them' without regard to party bias, .notwith standing the. Radical party for the sake of making political capital has arrayed itself ' in opposition to their adoption. ; A'iKKMI.TT'CAI.. The first amendment is one wliich was supported by both parties, and requires no" argument in its -favor. - It simply provides that the"' Legislature bhall foster and en , , courage the .farming, interest of the coun try, which is the foundation of all our - prosperity. No man will object to this amendment. ; SECHKT POLITICAL SOCIETIES. i The second amendment provides against fiecret Klitical societies like the Union League, and Kuklux organizations. Alter the baneful influence exerted by such secret political combinations, we are sure, there is ho good citizen who wishes to see them revived jn fur State. This aiend ment can do no harm, and nnv prevent great mischeif. . x h COXCEA1.EI) wnAi'n:. The, amendment -on this Mibjeot"' gives the Legislature power to enact la - against carrying concealed weapons,.' Without in terfering, however, with - tin; rights of every freeman to bear 'arms. The prac tice of carrying concealed' weapons, par ticularly in the present condition of affairs, should he condemned by every iea-e.cable and law-abiding citizen. L APPOINTMENT OF OEFICEllS. The proposed change is simply intended to regulate the appointment of officers not Otherwise provided for, and to prevent the clash and confusion which the ambig uous section in-the present constitution has caused. Under the present constitu tion the, Governor arrogated to himself the power to make many appointments which were not plainly provided for. This amendment clears up that' difficulty, and ' gives, th.e Governor power only to Till such offices as the Legislature has not provided for. In other woKhs, it gives; to the peo- i)le's representatives, the members of the legislature the pri viiegeof filling appoint ments, which have been held heretofore by one man. It interferes with no right that the people now enjoy . electing any of their public officers, but curtails the power of the Governor, and gives it to the people through their representatives: No friend of Republican irovcrnmcnt can object to this change.." The Governors, in good old times, exercised nonsuch power. i, - . ":, ' . JfpKI I . . 1 1 . The wveral proposal amend mentsin the Judiciary d jxirt nient are highly iinport ut.j The iiuuilier of Supreme Court t?udzei-it h promised, shall he reduced from? o tj. This will save to the people every year the -tartaric of two Judges, lilt h is i.,MN. ' lieforc the war we had only thro Judges mid the reputation of . the Supreme Court of North Carolina was above reproach, and all' the .business was disposed of with ease and satisfaction to the people. Three Judges can do the bus iness of the Court as well as live, and.the salaries of the two extra Judges should be saved. : TM .1 1 . g in t . ine uumoer oi superior court Judges will he reduced from 12 to 'J, and the sal arles ;o,t the ttiree .fudges, amounting to $7,500, will be eaved every year. This is no. small Item in the present impoverished condition of our people, and nine Judges cen hold the Superior Courts without diffi culty. ' . . . 1'rovision. is made as of old for the Judges to rotate; that is, no Judge will be allowed to hold courts in-44u same circuits ice in succession, l nis wise provision established by our fathers worked wpll, and by changing the Judges every year. ; there will be les danger of corruption and partiality m the administration ol Justice frovisioais also made for the establish ment by the Legislature as exigencies may I arise, oi courts .interior to the Supreme Court.- this 'amendment is intended to facilitate the ends of justice; and save to ttfe. tax-payers the large amounts paid every year lor boarding crimimds so long ' in our jails awaiting for the regular courts special Courts might be established in the larger cities, where the jails are frequently ew.wdecLwith prisoners guilty ' of larceny and other crimes, and in the counties pro vision nnglit he made tor the- speedy trial and punishment of criminals, and thereby save annually thousands of dollars paid . a. ... oui ior guaruing aim lecuing wortiuess characters, many of whom are well satis nea lying in jail at the public expense as teey would be loafing ami pillaging hone people. It is also proposed t give the Supreme Court the same jurisdiction they .Had, before the war over ouostions of fact which will he a great advantage in the set tlement of estates, Vic.,' and the Legisla ture may appoint some other place than liaielgh lor the sitting of . the Supreme vouri.. '"; Ihe provision in the present constitu tion requiring two weeks for each court is to be changed, so that dn small counties whore one week is amply sufficient for the ransaetion of business," there shall te but one weeje's term; in larger counties longer terms may bo held as the business may aemanu. , . There is provision also made for the selection of the Supreme and Superior couri Juage ny tne ieoplc for a term o eight years; but after the first electiou the Legislature may provide for the election of Superior Court Judges by the voters of the . respective districts, and in case ,of a va i cancyi the Governor shall appoint the Judge, who shall serve until the meeting of the Legislature, when that body shal eieei, ior tne unexpired term. rrovision Is tnade for the removal of a ; Judge for mental or physical inability by a r two-thirds vote of the Legislature. By this provision, the people will be enabled "ty fet rid of linjompetent Judges without the, elay and expense of impeachment, and a J udge may for similar cause remove an s Incompetent clerk. I It Is proposed to enlarge the jurisdiction f of magistrate's courts to all civil actions. 1 - AL 1 A 1 ' wiiere ine vame oi tne property dot s not exceed $50, This will be a great conven ience to the people, as now every little ease 4 involving me recovery oi projerty has to go to the Superior Court. I Qiese changes In the judicial department of the state were voted for by Republicans as well a Democrats, and will not only I 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. '-.' ' There is one provision which we regard highly iniortaiit, and which should in duce every white man in.the Sffate to sup ttort" the amendments. It is a notorious fact that the negroes of this and other districts are teeorning every year more ambitious for office aiid more exacting in their aspirations. It is more than proboble that a. negro will .be run by the' Republicans in this or the Raleigh district at the next election. O'llara, who is now a candidate for elector on the Hayes and Wheeler ticket, is an aspirant for Judge. He or some other negro, may be elected .under the present law, but if t he amendments are adopted in Novein!er, the Judges will In.- cleeted bv the voters of thc'whole State, .and there wiil lie no danger. of tuch a curse being yisited ujn us. Is not this enough to cause every decent white man to vote for the amend ments ? , j COUNTY GOVERNMENTS. The chane proposed in regard to county governments is intended for the relief of those coimties which ' have been inflicted with negro. nil''.' The amendment simply leaves the whole matter in tJie hands of the Legislature to make such changes as the public welfare may require. For in stance, if the. amendment are adopted, the Legislature may, if the people demand it, provide lor 'the appointment ol magis trates ,as they were formerly appointed, and may also make provision for the board of county commissioners. Such a change ,ts n)t needed in counties where tne wnifes have a majority and elect competent and honest' magistrates' and commissioners. But in some counties' the condition of the people is pitiable and deplorable iir the extreme. ' . Look at Edgecombe, Halifax, Granville ami cither Radical counties. Ihe jieople who pay the inost of the taxes have .no voice in selecting tiie county officers; the public, money is suuandrred and stolen extravagance and swindling are the. order of the day; the credit of the counties is be low parand county bonds arc sold at a heavy discount and the tax payers have to foot the bills. Ignorant negroes hold the justice's courts, which, are a disgrace and mockery" in the sight of decent men, and the same character sit. on the commission er's bench to arrange and regulate the '"county finances. Contrast the condition of these Radical ridden counties with that of Wilson, Nash, Wavnc,- Duplin and other Democratic ounties. Here we see white men in office. We see the county finances managed with rudenee and honesty; there is-" no swind ling every thing goes on smoothly, and the county orders are as good as green backs. Under such circumstances ought we not,, as honest and just men, to .be willing tosee the magistrates appointed by the "Legislature, as they were in olden times, and especially if that would save our brethren under negro despotism from being oppressed and robbed as they now are. vv e cannot sec how any county will be hurt bv this amendment and we can all see how some counties would , be greatly benefited. This is the amendment the Radicals are harping upon. They talk; lustily about lo cal self-government, and tke rights, of the ieople. hat they mean though by looal self-government is the election of negro magulrnteand what they mean by the rights of the; people is the right for the negroes .or lAigeeombc, llalilax, etc., to rule over the white men and women of these counties with a black iron rod, and io tieirauti tnem oi their hard earned in comes and property. CIVIL KIGHTS. " ,v There are two anTendments proposed on the subject of civil rights. One prohibits the intermingling ol the white an I black children -in the schools, and. the other forbids. the intermarriage "between the ne groes and the whites. 1 hese amendments, if adopted, will stop the agitation of these questions, so far as our Stote is concerned. Ihe Republican Convention of LSliS did legalize the marriage of a white man with a negro Avoman, and the bubieet will be agitated again unless it is prohibited, in the constitution. We are astonished that any white man should oppose 4his amend ment, but, to his everlasting disgrace, be it said, there was one white Republican delegate in the Convention who' voted against it. His name was Thorn, a carpet-bagger from Warren county. SUFFRAGE. On the subject of suffrage there are two important, changes proposed. One re quires a voter to live 90 days in the county before he can vote, and the other provides that no person hercalter convicted of felony or any other crime infamous by the laws of the State, 6hall not be allowed to vote until restored to citizenship. Both .of these changes are intended to protect the purity of the ballot-box. The system of "colonizing" voters that is, importing them from one county or State into another. to change the result of elections, has becfr introduced in our state since the advent of Radicalism, and a law requiring 90 days residence in a. county, instead of thirty, would have a tendency to check this'nefa- rious practice. This provision would give honest men some protection against fraudulent squatters," t-who, under the present law, could be 'brought into the county o0 days before the election to kill the votes of honest and bona fide citizens. The other provision prohibiting thieve and other felons from voting, commends itself to every honest man. There should rbe some dillerence between a good eitizen aim a nan que, and we do not see how any party can contend that -it is right1 for 500 rogues' in the penitentiary, to offset the votes of aOO good and worthy citizens. 1 ins amendment otrers a reward for hon esty, and a punishment for crime, and it is calculated to check mucn of the stealing that is going on in the country. " . PENITENTIARY. it is proposed to amend the article on the penitentiary so as to allow the Legisla ture to-put a part of the convict at work on railroads, &c. This would be a great saving to the State. The penitentiary has aireauy ueen a heavy expense' to the peo ple, ana i nis-provision win reduce the ex penses and make the convicts a benefit in stead of a burden. . FREE SCHOOLS. ' . some sugni amendments : are projmsea intended to advance the cause of Educa tion in the State, which were supported by Dot-ii parties m tne convention. . CONVENTIONS.' On this BUbjeet, the only amendment proposed is one providing that no Conven tion shall be called vithout first submitting t ne question to tne people. Inere can be no reasonable objection to this wise pro vision, which will render it impossible to call any Convention in' the future without the consent of the people. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. . The chauges proposed in this department are of great advantage. Heretofore the Legislature have prolonged the sessions I mcn longer than necessary, and the mem- r dtsts nave oieu memseives. sucn per uiem i i . . .i i . as tney cnosc. the amendment pro posed limits the sessions to fiO days, and tne pay to 4 per day and 10 cents mileage. By this change there would be a great re duction in the expense of a Legislature The cost of a Legislature could not exceed ?0,00U, counting everything, whereas the cost nas averagcu in the last eight years over ?iw,uuu. cv this amendment over $10,000' a session would be saved, more than enough to pay the cost of the late Convention, w hicTTthe Radical leaders told the people would cost $500,000. The other ordinances of the Convention are immaJsriaL providing for the distolbu- among the j-eo pie, the electiou, &c. We have in yen . as luiir as on, space would iermit an explanation of each amendment, i We do not see hor any gooo citizeu who desires the welfare of North Carolina, can vote against them. And. even if he did not fullv enHfim every change proposed. It must be admitted that thev would as a whole be of incalculable benefit to the State. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLAT FORM, ADOPTED AT ST.I)UIS, JUNE 28, IHIG. We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States, in national convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of the Federal Govern ment to te in urgent need of immediate reform : do hereby enjoin upon the nomi nees of this Convention and of the Demo cratic party in each State, a zealous effort and eo-uperatiou to this end, and do hereby appeal, to ir fellow-citizcus of every former jxditieal connection to undertake with us this first and. most pressing iatri- otic.duty for the Democracy of the whole. country. We do here reaffirm our faith in the per" manency of the Federal Union,' our devo tion to the Constitution of the I nited States, with its amendments, universally accented as a final settlement ol the con troversies that engendered the civil war, and do .here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of republican self-gov ernment ; in n absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, the vital principle of the Republic ; in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority : in the total separation of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religious iree- dom ; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment ; in the liberty of individual conduct un vexed by sumptuary laws ; in the faithful education of the rising ; generation, that they may preserve, eniov and transmit these lest conditions of human happiness and hoie. We behold the noblest products of a hun dred years of changeful history : but while upholding the bond of our Union . and great charter of these our rights, it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. " "THE XEED OK THE HOCR. -Reform is necessary to rebuild and l's' tablish in the hearts of the whole people the Cmon, eleven vears ago- happily res cued from the! danger of a corrupt central ism, which, after inflicting upon ten States the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of the Federal government itself with incapacity, waste and fraud, infected States and municipali ties with the i contagion of misrule, and locked fast the property an industrious people in the paralysis of 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 all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which arc a chang ing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non-payment of which is a disregard oi the plighted laith ot the nation. I We denounce the improvidence which, in- eleven; 3'ears" of peace, has taken from the people in Federal taxes thirtoen times the whole amount of the legal tender notes, and. squandered four times this sum in useless expense without rccumulating any reserve tor their redemption. vv e denounce the financial imbecility of that party which, during eleven t years of peace, has made no advance toward re sumption; that instead, has obstructed re sumption by wasting our resources and ex hausting 11 our surplus income, and while annually prolessmg to intend a speedy re sumption, to specie payment, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto.-; As such hindrance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we here de mand its repeal. DEMOCRATIC FINANCE DEMANDED We demand a judicious 6ystem of prepa ration by public economies, by omcial re trenchments and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation to assusc the whole world of. its perfect ability and perfect readiness "to jneet any of its promises."" at the call of the creditor entitled to payment Y e believe such a system well devised, and above all, entrusted to .competent hands, for execution, creating at no time an arti- ficial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming tne public mind into the with drawal of that vast machinery of credit by which 95 per cent, of all business transac tions are. performed a system open, pub lic ana inspiring general confidence, would. irom tne aay oi adoption, bring healing on its wings yy au our narasseu industry, ana set in motion the wheels of commerce. manufactures and the mechanical arts; re store employmet to labor and renew, in all its national : source, the nrospcritv of tne people. . . ( . i , ' -- KEFORM IK TAXATION. Reform ; is necessary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation so that capital may be set dree-from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce the pre- seat tariff levied, upon nearly five thousand articles as a masterpiece of "injustice, ine- 1!l "t r a . quality auu iaise pretence. it ; yields a dwindling; not a yearly rising revenue. It has impoverished 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 high 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, lonowca uy nan our people. It posts 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 merchants. We demand that all customhouse ! taxation shall be onlyjfor revenue. . i RETRENCHMENT Irf EXPENSES. Reform is necessary in the scale of pub- lie expense, Federal, State and munkiiwil out of Federal taxation has swolleh from $00,000,000, gold, in 1SG0, to $4."i0.000.000. currency, in 1870. Our aggregate taxation was from $184,000,000, gold, in' 18tX), to 1S0. or iu one decade less than $ per head to more than ?1S per head. Since the peace the people nave paid lomcir lax-gatherers more than thrice 'he sum of the national debt- and more than twice that sum for th Federal Governmenfalone. We demand 1 a vigor ous frugality in every department and from every officer of the government. , WASTE OF THE PUBLIC LAXJ)f. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate wastes of the public lands and their diversion from settlers by the party 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 sixth directly to tillers of the soiL j CHRISTIAN CITIZENS AXD HEATHEN CHI . XESK. -. . Reform Is necessary to correct the mis takes of the Republican Congress and the errors of our treaties, and our diplomat.: relations which have stripped our adopted citizens of foreign birth and kindred race recrossing the Atlantic of the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of a race not sprung, from the 6ame 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 the liberty-loving German and tolerates the revival of the Coolie trade In 3Iongo tion of the amendments llau women.

REFORM IX THE CIVIL SERVICE. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experience proves that the efficient, eci- nomical conduct of the governmental bus iness is not ossible if its civil service Ik? subject to change at 'every election K a prize fought for at the ballot-box tte a brief reward of tartv zeal, instead of tiost of honor, assigned for proved cometeney and held for fidelity in the public employ ment. That the dispensing of patronage should neither Ik.- a tax Uhii the time of all our public men, nor the instrument of their ambition. Here again profession falsified in the jerforiiiance, attest that the party in jKwer can work out ,no practical or salutary reform. REFORM AMONO THE HIGHEST ITIILIO SERVANTS. Reform is necessary even more iu the higher grades of puttlie s Vice-rresideiit, Judges, r . t .a. service rrcMueiit, Senators, Repre sentatives, Cabinet officers. These officers, and others hi authority, are the icople servants. Their oflices arc not a private perquisite; 'they are a public trust. When the annals of this Republic show the dis grace and censure of a Vicc-I'residcnt: a late Sieaker of the House of Representa tives marketing his rulings as a presiding officer; their frlcndsjirofiting secretly by their votes as law-makers: five chairmen of the leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed in joblery; a late Secretary f the Treasury forcinir balances in the public accounts; a late Attorney (Jcncral misappropriating public funds; a .Secretary of the Navy enriched or enriching his friends by iereentagc levied off the profits of contractors with his Department ; an ambassador to England censured for a dishonorable speculation ; the President's private secrc- tary uarciy escaping conviction uiou trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenue ; a secretary or . ar impeached for high crimes and confessed misde meanors the demonstration is so com plete that the first step in reform must be by the people, or honest men from another party. The disease of one political organ ization lulcsts the body iolitIc and thereby ii . . i f . ma King no cnangc oi men or larty, we can get no change of measures aud no retorms. - RADICALS AND RADICALISM MLST HE DRIVEN FROM 1'OWER. All these abuses, wrongs and crhuet the product of the sixteen years ascend ancy of the Republican imrtv create, a necessity for reform, confessed by Repub licans themselves. But their reformers are voted down in convention ami dis placed from the Cabinet. The- mass of honest voters is iwwerless to resist the eighty thousand oQicc-holder6 its leaders and guides. Reform can only tic had bv a peaceful. civic revolution. We demand a c hnmre of system; a change of administration; a change of parties, that we may have a - change of men.
