THE VOTE For TREASURER.

The Reojster publishes and endorses some stric-
.ures over the signature of g Blue Ridge upon
Mess1s. Avery Gordon, Sharpe, Gotten, and Tho"a-
as If The present Legislature, for voting tor Mr.
Coprts for Treasurer The writer says that if these
five gentlemen, representing Wing Counties, had
voted flor Mai. Hinton instead of MIR. Courts, he
,ro,ld have received So the erdct n6mber neces-
sary to a. CHOICE Granted; but suppose Messrs.
Davidson and Mauitsby, Wings, from Democratic
Counties, had voted at the time, according to
the Registers rule, for Mr. Courts aad suppose the
three members from Halifax, which County gave d
majority for Col Reid had also voted for Mr. Courts
instead of Maj. Hintoa, what would have become OF
the Registers exact number of 50 for the latter
aen,!emdnl Would not Mr. Courts have beaten
him. even uader these circumstances. two votes !
Mr. Courts had been before candidate Tor Stale
Treasurer on two occasions-once in 1886, when tie
Democrats had a tvajori'y, and again in 1888, when
the Wings had sway. In 1886 he received rnaio-
rity OF Wings and Democrats, and was elected on
the first baot-such Wings as Graham OF Orange.
Gales of Wake, Morehead of GuiIford, Carson OF
Rutherford, Gillian of Granville, ard MCCLANA-
HAN of CHATHAM, voting for him. In 1888,
when the Wings had large majority, he received
his reelection every rote in the assembly but fire,
which of included all parties of that body. Ia
addition 10 this, in 1885, the Committee of Finance
of the Legislature appointed By Wsig Speakers alter
examining Mr.. Cours's accounts, made a Report,
which was printed by order Of that body. in which
they said they could not close their Report with
out expressing their qualification at tie able honest,
and business-fke manner ,ohch he had dischGrg-
ed HE duties Of his o6ce. The next year Mr.. Courts
resigned, and wea as United States Consul TO Ma
tanzas
These are facts-matters of history-which netl-
er the Register nor 60 Blue RIDGE meet. And
yet the Register calls upon the Wings of Burke,
Wilkes Buncombe, Chatham, Cherokee, Macon
and Haywood, TO censure their Representatives in
the present Legislature for doing the very thing, in
regard TO the same office and Tie same man, which was
done in 1886 by such Wings Graham, Morehead,
Gillian, and Mechanism, and which, in 1888, was
as good as unanimously endorsed by both the great
parties of the State Comment upon such facts is
needless. They speak for themselves.

HE observation-disclosures TO THE CONSTR
TUITION we are pleased to notice, on the part of The
Legislature OF North Carolina, disposition to effect
definite change in the Constitution of the State,
which has been discussed and is undoubtedly called
Tor by the people. We mean that abolisIling the
landed qualification for electors of Senators in the
State Legislature and not to hurry forward others
upon which sufficient time and opportunity have
not yet been afforded for the formation of an eng ht-
ened public opini1n For own part, we are OPP
posed TO a convention Theirs is mode provided by
the Constitution for effecting any and every desired
change, without the tormci and sectional feelings
incident to convention. And another thing should
be borne in mind. Ia case the whole fabric of the
Constitution should be submitted the action of
unlimited convention; many changes might de made
which would not be in accordance with the wishes
oil majority of the people, and yet be accepted be-
combined with others of undoubted bene-
ft and one could not be taken without the other. But
in the mode prescribed by the second clause ofhe rs
section of TIE fourth article of the Constitution.
such conventional log-rolling could Each
proposed change would be passed in separate bill,
and separately submitted to the people, that the
real popular will could be ascetained upon each sep
arate measure free from all other irrelevant issues.
We believe that the great majority of the democratc
party in this Stale are in favor of the amendments
proposed in the resolutions of the Democratic State
Convention, but opposed urging forward any,
without due time for reflection. and unwilling to
awake sectional jealousy by calling Convention.
We have idea that State Convention will be
called, thatany amendment to the Constitution
be passed by the constitutional ory (hreeffiis)
with the exception of " Equal Suffrage" and pos
sibiy but probably, the election ofJudges by tia
people. WILMINGTON JOURNAL

of the members from the western part OF the State
are Determined if the question is opened ALL to have
it done by convention; and in convention, the west
will demand the distribution of the school fund.- and
also the basis of representation, white population
instead of the mixed. the democratic party and the
eastern members, wish avoid the opening of this
question, because it is pregnant with bitter sectional
difficulties all times, and would be peculiarly la

BILE amendment wish to do it in the mode pointed
by the Constitution. while those the wing press

MEcHANIc,s MEErING.

Inc Fayetteville Carolinian contains the proceed
lngs OF meeting of the Mechanics of that place
called to stake into consideration the growing evil
OF free negro competition in the mechanical arts''
at which Mr.. J. G. Dunn presided, and Mr.. w. J.
Yates acted as Secretary. The committee appoint
ed at previous meeting submitted the following re-
port, which was unanimously adopted
That we recommend to the Mechanics of North
Carolina to enoriaize the Legislature of the State
to make it incumbent upon the County Courts 10 re-
qure every free negro in the State register his or
her name, and lay tax upon each one for the pur-
pose of aiding the emigration of such free negroes as
will emigrate some other State, or to some other
country and to require that all children of free
roes years DID, born after Jan'y LIST, 1875 shall be
bound on, to responsible whte person for ninety
nine years.
We further recommend the mechanics to pray the
Legislature not pass any special acts emanci-
pating slaves,
That we further recommend them TO pray the Legs-
lature seriously consider the proprety OF furnsh-
ing aid such free negroes desire to emgraLe to
Liberia, o. some other country, and have not the
means TO do
We further recommend them TO represent that the
tax on real estate is far Than the tax
merchandise. For instance, two have capital
OF Sl4 900 each-ihe invests it in real estate
and he has pay tax of $40 the other invests his
1000 in meIchandise, and only pays ST. tax. We
therefore believe that the Legislature ought 10 tax
all merchants in North Carolina, say 200 Der cent oV-
er the present tax, who sell mercha the
facture of other States.
That we recommend to the citizens of Fayete-
Vile to memorable the Magistrate of Police and
Commissioners TO enforce the town Ordinance in re-
gard TO free negroes.''

are strictly enforced.
