CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The next move of the Bourbon Democrats in aid of Prohibition will be an attempt to amend the Consti tution as the State of Iowa has just done, so as to forbid the sale and manufacture of liquor within this State. The North State, published at Greensboro, is the organ of the Pro hibition and Temperance element of the State. It speaks by authority, and has advocated in a recent issue the amendment of our Constitution the same as in Iowa and as is pro- posed in Indiana and Ohio. This proposition is no doubt approved by Jarvis, Merriman, MacRae, Vance, Gudger and the host of Bourbon Democrats who were Prohibition leaders last year. No Democratic paper has denounced the proposition to amend the Constitution. The Democrats are in favor of abolishing the internal revenue taxes because they have despaired of ever electing one of their number President, and therefore, want to rid themselves as a party of the revenue officers and their influence in politic*. This And may be accomplished by Congress, and it may be practically aocom- plished in any State by an amend ment to the constitution as is now the case in Iowa. In this emergency we have the authority of the official mouth piece of the Prohibition and Temperance party in the State that a new crusade against the rights of the people and in favor of class legisla tion is to be made in the near future. No Bourbon Democrat is to be trusted on this question. Forewarned, 1 foiearmed. ■ DEMOCRATIC POLICY, In commenting on the defeat of the pet measure of its chief, the or gan of the Bourbon Democracy of August 6th, 1881, the day after the Prohibition election, said: “If it was desirable to wrest North Carolina from the hands of the Republicans in years gone by and to retain the State under Democratic control in the past, it will be still more desirable to do so in the future/’ Why still more desirable to do so in the future? Why this reference to the Republican party, the morn ing after an election in which a meas ure, the organ claims never was in politics? Never an issue before the people was so overwhelmingly de feated by the people. Why was the two-column editorial of that particus lar morning and the series of edito rials of subsequent mornings neces sary to console the readers of the Observer for the defeat of a measure the editor now says was never a po litical issue in the State? Why still more desirable to retain the State under Democratic control in the fu ture ? A glance at the record of the Bour bon Democracy since it attained power in North Carolina will answer some of these questions. Step by step since that time the leaders of that party have systematically en^ •croacbed on the rights of the people until a veritable oligarchy has been es tablished in the State, to which the success of the Republican party and ics Libe^l allies, would be fatal. One of the first acts of the Democratic party was to gerrymander the Congressional and Senatorial Districts of the State. This made a Democratic vote in one district count as much as four, five and even ten Republican votes in another district. Then every city and town was so . cut up that the Democratic minority could rule. These municipal charters were carried to the Supreme Court and decided to be in violation of the Constitu tion. Finally the leaders—ever fer tile in their plans and schemes to get and bold power, adopted a plan that Would pass muster in the Supreme Court, and to-day every city and town of enough importance to tempt a Demoerat to plan for-its rule, is absolutely controlled and ruled by a few, against the interests and wishes of the majority. Then the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1874-’75 was en acted as a means of establishing this dominion of the rich over the poor, the few over the manypn the country, w.iqre charters could not be manipu lated to serve the ends of the oli garchs and give them control of the interests of the people, ihe work ing-men in the country were by this act reduced to the condition of serfs, their crops vested in the rich land owners and they denied a hearing in court until after sufficient time for want and suffering to compel them to accept almost any compromise the landlord should see fit to propose. But the “poor white trash,” (as they .are pleased to call the less favored class of our citizens) and “niggers” .still refused to vote as these leaders wished and ordered. A convention election was held and a majority in favor of “No Convention,’’ of ad journing without changing the State Constitution, were elected by the voters. The order to “hold Robe ■ son and save the State’ went forth from Democratic beadquarters, and the great fraud of 1875 was perpe trated. Two men, not elected, were given the certificate of election and seated in the convention. Then by the aid of these two men the amend ments under whi;h the present sys tem of county government was made possible, was adopted, and the Dem ocratic Legislature of 1876-’77 com pleted the work of taking from the people the right to elect their county officers. The Prohibition Act was but another step in the interest and uniform policy of the party. The right to elect municipal and county officers had been taken from the peo ple for whose rights these leaders had no prospect, and whose ability for local-self-government they held in su preme contempt. Another step and they would be established in power for all tiime. Prohibition would con fiscate personal property, take from the poor man more rights, but what cared the Democrats ? It established for them a monopoly, got rid of the Republican revenue officers, and left 'Lo - ivH I>ott^ocrtvc in the enjoy in?nt of his crushed sugar dram. We have referred to but a few of the leading acts of these leaders, but a glance at the statute books will disclose many others of like import. The success of the Republicans and their Liberal allies means an end of this oligarchical rule—a repeal of the county govern ment bill and municipal charters—a rule of the people. Hence, the Bourbon Organ says it is more desirable to retain the State State under Democratic control in the future. SPECIAL TAX BONDS. When Gov. Jarvis is ranting over that Quixotic resolution of the Dem ocratic State Convention in regard to special tax bonds, remind him that he voted for bills that authorized these same special tax bonds to be issued to the amount of three millions three hundred thousand dollars. (See pages 93 and 96 House Journals 1868-69.) If the Organ will re-pub- lish the letter of E. W. Pou, Esq., of Johnston county , on the subject, which letter appeared in the Observer of about June 10, 1880, it would-serve as a good preface to the special tax bond resolution. There is also good reading on this subject in what is known as the Cato letters, published in the leading Democratic journal of this city in 1880. We quote from one of them: “I refer to House Journal, 1868-’69, at pages 94 and 95, the special order being “a bib to re-enact and confirm certain acts of the General Assembly authorizing the issue of State bonds to and for certain railroad companies.” “On the final passage of the bill” (I quote from the record), Mr. Laflin called toe previous question. The bill then passed its final reading, Gov. Jarvis and Lieut. Gov. Robinson voting in the affirmative for the bill. Again,the same identical bill having been intro duced into and carried through the Senate, was taken up in the House on the next day, which was December 17th, 1868, and passed its third read ing, Gov. Jarvis and Lieut. Gov. Rob inson voting in the affirmative for the bill, and upon page 97 of the journal of the same day, we find that “Mr. Estes moved to reconsider the vote just taken,” whereupon “Mr. Hayes moved to lay the motion on the table,” and the motion to table prevailed. Now, what was this “bill to re-enact and confirm certain acts,” &c. Turn to the acts of the Legislature of 1868-‘9, at page 48, and it will appear that this act enabled Swepson, Littlefield and t ickerell to procure and place upon the market the millions of special tax bonds that have so much disgraced our State in the eyes of the financial world, and right here the special tax was pro vided for, which denominated them ‘special tax bonds.’” There is a judgment on the docket of the Superior Court of Wake county in favor of John Pickerell for fifteen hundred dollars against T. J. Jarvis, which amount was received by Gov. Jarvis from Pickerell about the time these bonds were issued. Pickerell was interested in the rail road transactions for which these spe cial tax bonds were issued, and was a member of the “third house” of the Legislature at that time—that is he was a lobbyist. Our Governor then not only repudiates the bonds for which he voted, but repudiates his own paper. CUSSING. “Small curses Dr. Slop, upon great iccasions” quoth my fattier “are but io much waste of our strength and iouls breath to no manner of purpose.” “I own it,” replied Dr. Slop. “They ire like sparrow shot,” quoth my Uncle Toby, “fired against a bastion ” ■They serve,” continued my lather, “to stir .he humors— but carry off lone of their acrimony—for my part, [seldom swear or curse at all, I hold t bad; but if I fall into it by surprise, 1 generally retain so much presence of mind as to make it answer my pur pose—that is, I swear till I find my self easy.” This edifying conversation above quoted has been called to mind by the fact that our neighbors-in-law of the press have been shooting sparrow shot at each other. The Post goes for the Review at Wilmington and vice versa. Then the Review shoots at the State Journal and the State Journal returns fire. All this is taken up by the News and Observer and Brother Spelman, as he always does, shoots back. Here is his last shot. Playing Baby.—Capt.

The following explains itself. The attempt to ignore the Liberal Anti- Prohibition party was promptly and properly resented by Dr. Mott. It may be that the intention of Chair man Coke was to bring about a result that would prevent a joint canvass between Col. Dockery and Judge Bennett. If so, he has been emi nently successful. The putting on airs by Chairman Coke, as exposed in the correspondence, must be any thing but a pleasing attitude to oc cupy before the people. But posing in this position may be the essence of Buurbonism, which is now the test of Democracy. The letters are as follows : Rooms Executive Committee ) Of the Anti-Prom and Liberal Party, - Raleigh, N. C., July 8, 1882. ) Capt. Octavius Coke, Chairman Demo cratic State Executive Committee of North Carolina: Sir: I am directed by the Anti-Pro hibition and Liberal Executive Com mittee of the State, to address a com munication to you requesting that a joint canvass of the State between the candidates of the respective parties for Congressman-at-Large be arranged for. If agreeable I would be pleased to have you indicate a time and place when we can negotiate for such dis cussion. I have the honor to be, Yours most respectfully, W. M. Cocke, Jr., Chairman. Rooms Democratic Ex. Com., ) Raleigh, July 19, 1882. [ W. M. Cocke, Jr., Esq , Asheville,N. C.: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 8th inst., saying “I am directed by the Anti-Prohibition and Liberal Executive committee of the State to address a communication to you requesting that a joint canvass oi the State between the candidates of the respective parties for Congressman-at-Large be arranged for,” was duly received. In reply, I am instructed by the Democratic Executive Committee to say that they regard the contest in the coming campaign, as being between the Republican and Democratic parties, as heretofore, and that they have in structed me to correspond with Dr. J J. Mott, Chairman of Republican Exec utive Committee, for the purpose of ac complishing a joint canvass of the State between Col. Dockery, a Repub lican of long standing, and Judge Ben nett, a Democrat of long standing, the two candidates now before the people for the office of Congressman-at-Large. I have the the honor to be, Yours most respectfully, Oct: Coke, Chairman, &c. Rooms Dem. Ex. Committee, • Raleigh, N. C., July 19, 1882. Dr: J. J. Mott, Chairman Republican State Ex. Committee, Statesville, N. C.: Sir: I am instructed by the Demo cratic State Executive Committee to correspond with you and invite a joint canvass of the State in the coming campaign, between Col. Dockery and Judge Bennett. If this invitation is acceptable to you and your committee, I shall be glad if you will indicate the dime and place where we can con- veciently meet for the arrangement of appointments for said canvass. Hoping to hear from, you very soon, [ have the honor to be, Yours most respectfully, Oct. Coke, Chairman, &c. Republican State Ex. Com., RALEIGH, N. C., July 31st, 1882. Capt. Oct. Coke, Chairman Democratic State Committee: Sir: Yours of Ju’y 19th was duly received. I am advised of the correspondence between yourself and Col. W, M. Jocke, chairman of the Liberal Anti- Prohibition State Committee. The Anti-Prohibition party was formed last y ar to defeat the Prohi bition bill and was assisted in its efforts by the Republican organization. The Republican party in the State has now formally agreed upon an alliance with tie Liberal Anti-Prohibition party, for the purpose of restoring certain rights to the people, o' which they have been deprive ! by the Democrat.c organiza tion. This is known to the people of the State and is denied by none. It is simply ridiculous in you, or in any one else, to assume the attitude of not recognizing the Liberal Anti-Prohibi tion party; and I shall not, by any act of mine, countenance tne u.dignity you have intentionally attempted to inflict upon it. Therefore, I cannot entertain your invitation lor a joint discussion between Col, Dockery and Judge Bennett. Yours truly, J. J. Mott, Ch’ii Republican State Com, The Times. RALBIGII^ ^0 Cents.

A meeting of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Wake took place Monday in Metropolitan Hall at 12 o’clock. Sixty-eight Justices were present. Messrs.. W. R Pool, Sol J. Allen, E. E. GAT, A. M» Ad ams and G. B. AlforiTwere chosen as County Commissioners for the term commencing December 1st, 1882. At the joint meeting of the Board of Commissioners and the Justices, ME Eugene G. Jones of Little River Township,^was chosen as County Su perintendent of Public Instruction. Fourth District Congressional Convention At noon on the 2nd inst, the Repub lican convention met at Metropolitan Hall in this city and was called to order by Col. C. L. Harris, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Mr. John R. O’Neil was elected temporary secretary. A committee on credentials was ap pointed and retired to make up a re port. James H. Harris was loudly called for, and spoke at some length. In the course of his remarks he said North Carolina was to be redeemed from Bourbon rule. He declared that there was now no political liberty in the State, and that a colored man could not, save in rare cases, get a fair trial before a jury. That in Wake county where 72 jurors were drawn for the late term ot the Superior Court only two Republicans (one colored man) were drawn, and yet there were 5,000 Republican voters and tax payers in the county. The speech was a strong and effective one and at its conclusion the committee on credentials reported through John H. Williamson, chair man, that all the counties in the dis trict were represented except Nash. Durham and Vance counties were not included in the report but were afterwards allowed two delegates each by a vote of the convention. The following protest, signed by James I. Moore, ot Granville, and A H. Haughawait of Orange, ended the report: “We hereby enter our protest against James H. f^irris being allowed a seat in this convention; he not being a duly elected dt legate, A. W. Shaffer having been elected as the lawful del- ’egate, Mr. Cobb as alternate.” Mr. Moore moved that J. H. Harris be excluded from the convention. This caused a spirited discussion as to the right of Mr. Harris to a seat in the convention, which was participated in by James 1. Moore, of Granville, A. H. Haughawart of Change, E. W. Turner of Vance, Norfleet Dunston, James H. Jones, and Stewart Ellison of Wake. Mr. Ellison, as a substitute for the motion, moved to adopt the report of the committee. Adopted The facts were: Col. A W. Shaffer was elected a delegate to the conven tion and Mr. Peter Cobb as alternate. Col. Shaffer is in Colorado, on busi ness, and Mr. Cobb declined to serve. In the county convention a resolution was adopted authorizing and empow ering the chairman of the county con vention to fill all vacancies that might occur in delegations to the different conventions. This the chairman did by appointing Mr. Harris. Col. C. L. Harris was made perma nent chairman; J. R. O'Neil, secretary, and John E. Williams, assistant secre tary. Nominations for Congressman were announced as in order. Mr. Haughawart, from Orange, placed before the convention the name of Isaac W. Strayhorn, of Hillsboro. Mr. E. W. Turner, of Vance, jutin nomination and pressed the c.aims of B. H. Cozart, of Granvi Ie. James H. Harris moved to endorse Thomas P. Devereux. He pledged him a* a man in full sympathy wLh the Republican party and its prin ciples. After some discussion Mr. E. W. Turner withdrew the name of B. H Cozart, and a vote bei^g taken Mr. Devereux was endorsed by the conven tion as a Liberal candidate for Con gressman. The vote was, Devereux 19, Strayhorn 6. James H. Harris, Esq., offered the following resolution which was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That as free speech, a free vote and a fair count are essential to the securement oi the liberties of the people ana the maintenance of theii rights, require lor important public positions men of independence, nerve and patriotism, and being satisfied that Mr. Thos. P. Devereux, the inde pendent candidate for Congrtss in this district, possesses these qualities iu an eminent degree, we therefore heartily endorse his action in becoming an in dependent candidate, and we do here by pledge him our hearty and united support. Messrs. James H Harris, John D. Massey and W. H. Smith were ap pointed a committee to notify Mr. Devereux of his endorsement and es cort him to the hall, During the absence of the commit tee, Mr. J. E. Bledsoe was called for, and responded in one of his character istic, stirring speeches, and in conclu sion the committee, with Mr. Devereux, having entered the hall amid deafening applause, introduced to the audience Mr. T. P. Devereux, the candidate. Chairman Coke, of the Bourbon Ex ecutive Committee, was in the hall, and with one or two of his satellites tried to get the Democrats in the reai- end of the hall to leave when Air. Devereux entered. They did not leave though at the command of the boss. It was not creditable to Capt. Coke; but there is one thing very evident, the people intend to hear both side this year, and the captains, major a d colonels of the Bourbon oligarchy can't make them leave meetings by their command. Air. Devereux addressed his auditors as “Freemen of North Carolina” He said he had been a Democrat, now he was an Independent Liberal, endorsed by the Republicans, and that this state of things had been brought about by the shortcomings of the Democrats. The basis of his democracy was that all men were free and equal before the law. He spoke at length on the county government question. He said that when the Democrats took control of Warren county they found $20,000 in the treasury, and now they were bor rowing mom y, and thus in only five years of Democratic rule. He said the reason why the Democrats would not permit the people to vote for county officers was because there was no re turning board to control such votes. The returning board, the court of last resort of pol tical rascality, was com posed of broken down Democrats; that the Democrats would appoint two shrewd, unscrupulous Democratic ras cals as poll-holders, and then appoint ignorant negioes as the other two. It was the case of the lamb and the wolf. He attacked the school committeemen who were also appointed. He declared that only five or six counties had obeyed the constitutional injunction about keeping open the public schools. He said the Superintendent of Pubi c [ Instruction dare not make public his I report for the past year, and that the 1 Danioc.ra.tio party are afraid to have M go before the public. He asked if the people would continue to be tools in the hands of the Bourbons who control the public schools. As to the internal revenue matters, he intended when he was in Congress, to use his influence to use the revenue receipts for educa tional purposes. The Democrats said the revenue and tariff must be abol ished, but this wouid take from the government all revenue for carrying on the operations of government. That he was in favor of revising the tariff, reducing the tax on tobacco, and ap preprinting the tax on spirits to the ed ucation of the masses. He said he in tended to have the public schools kept open ten months during the year. Ile said, in conclusion: “Gentl men, I am yours to command, as the Represen tative of the Metropolitan District in the next Congress.” Mr. Devereux alluded to Gen Cox and his famous dispatch, “Hold Robe son and save the State,” but said he would make no further allusion to that gentleman as he was not present. Col. Young was called for, made a short speech, and the convention, after appointing an executive committee, adjourned The best feeling prevailed, and all seemed to be confident of vic tory in the District. Mr. Moore, of Granville, withdrew from the conven tion when he found he could not en force his peculior views and wishes. COL. L. C. EDWARDS. Letter of Acceptance. Oxford, N. C., Aug. 7, 1882. Francis M, Sorrell, Esq., Secretary, &c: My Dear Sir:—Your letter, of the 4th inst., informing me that the State Executive Committee of the Anti-Pro hibition and Liberal party of this State had nominated me as a candidate for Judge of the Fifth Judicial District, reached me two days ago In reply, I have only this to say: I accept the nomination, and if elected, I will discharge the duties pertaining to the office honestly and faithfully, to the best of my learning and ability. I am very respectfully, Your obedient servant, L. C. Edwards. HON. J. M. LEACH’S LETTER. He Withdraws from the Democratic Party. LEXINGTON, N. C., Aug 3, 1882. Col. Charles R. Jones, Editor aad Pro-* prietor Daily Observer : My Dear Sir:—Your letter asking me for my political views, and what action I proposed taking in the present canvass, which is likely to be a very exciting and animated one, was for warded to me at New York, where I have been some weeks on professional business. I only reached home last night, and am compelled to leave in two hours, to be absent some days, and therefore cannot now write at length expressing my views, but will do so at an early day either to you or to the people at large. I merely say now, I shall cease to act longer with the Dem ocratic party, or to give the feeble in fluence of my name in further promo tion of its success; and I may add that there are many thousands of true and patriotic men who, in my opinion, (and I speak not without knowledge of what I say) will be influenced by the same reasons that impel my action. In ceasing to act longer with the Democratic party, I shall abandon no cherished political principle of a long- public career. As a test of my con sistency I invite all to a comparison of my speeches and votes, for twenty-five years, with that of any public man in the State. I shall invoke the strictest scrutiny of my public acts as affecting internal improvements,.education and the high est interests of the people. I use the word “act” with emphasis, for I have always been a Whig in principle, and avowedly so. I should continue to act with the Democratic party if the same causes that first impelled me to do so still existed, and if the party were pro gressive and patriotic enough to free itself of Bourbonism —by yielding to the persistent demand for restora ion to popular rights in the county govern- - ernments—for the rights of the East can be protected, if necessary, by wise legislation, without disfranchizing all ■ the people of the btate, as isotone—by demanding an absolute repeal f the prohibition act—in utterly ignoring the color-line of the races, instead of defini. g it more distinctly as they did in their recent convention—the engen dering anew the strife and ill-feeling between the races, thereby seemingly encouraging sectionalism, so much to be deplored by all who desire to see the grand old commonwealth grow prosperous and great, and peace, har mony, and fraternal feeling restored between, every State of this glorious Union. The great dominating Anglo- American race will always rule in America, but while this is so, it is not stating the question too strongly to as sert that the subfimest mission of hu manity, as well as the highest states manship, should be exerted in lifting up the lowly and elevating the labor ing cla ses, of bot i races, to a higher plane of mental and moral superiority. I rejoice that not an inch of this land of freedom is polluted by the tread of a slave! I rejoice that this great Union is res%ed in fact, as I trust it soon will be by a feeling of na tional pride and fraternal love through out its broad borders and thus will sectionalism have to yield to an aident love of country. Then will the South receive her just measure of control in the affairs of the national government; then will North Carolina have a chance for Vice-President, Cabinet officer, Su preme Court Judge, Foreign Minister, or possibly President of the United States. I have no time to discuss the tariff or education and internal improve ments by the government. Excuse the haste wi h which this is written and its brevity, for, as I indi cated above, I shall give my views and the principles which influence me more at length at an early day. Very respectfully, J. AI Leach. Republican Nominating Convention Called.
