SAD OCCURRENCE AT SHREVEPORT
The Shreveport Gazette, of the 18th,
says:
On Monday night, while Mr.. Gator
was giving an exhibition of Ere works;
1.-THE bombardment of Vera Cruz being
the subject OF epresentalion,) his assis-
tant becoming frightened, let his fire fall
upon pile of rockets. which exploded
Immediately, flying in all directions
through the assembled crewd, one of
them striking Miss Cecilia Leonard,
very accomplished young lady of our
town, and piercing her right eye, passed
through her head, mangling and killing
her in the most horrible manner. This
occurrence has thrown the deepest gloom
over Our citizens, and the sincerest grief
is every where manifested at the untin1e-
ly and shocking fate of one of our most
beautiful and amiabIe young ladies.
She YVES seated near the family of Mrs.
Sterrett. on the extreme end of the high
esl bench, placed round within the can
vass for the accommodation of the visitors.
and when she was struck. immediately
fell to the ground. Mrs. s., thinking
that she had tainted, instantly went to
her assistance. and raising her from the
ground, discovered the large heavy wad-
tirng of the rocket buried in her eye,
some two inches deep, and. the stick
around which the rocket is MADE, having
pierced directly through, projecting at
the back part of her head, some four or
FIVE inches. The aid of physicians was
instantlv procured. but no skill could stay
tae spirit which was fast ebbing from the
shores of time; ard after being conveyed,
amid the lamentations of all present, and
the wailing and grief of her bereaved pa
rents, and brothers and sisters, to her
own room, at her fathers house. she ex-
pired, apparently iAsensible to the ex-
treme pam ske must have suffered.
We learn from the Gazette that an in
vest4gation was had before two magis-
trates, relative to the unfortunate acci-
dent, which resulted in the acquittal of
MIR. Catoir and his assistant, OF all blame.

The School Fund,

It is not pretended to be denied even by the pa
pers of his own party, that Gov. MANLY advocates
the distribution of the School Fund in proportion to
free white population. Such distribution would
deprive every county in this district of fully one-third
of the sum which they now receive for the educa-
ton of their children, and of them nearly one
half. Of this fact the proof is plain and positive
and can be found in the report of Mr.. MANLY's re-
marks at Salem, published in the Greensboro Pa
trot, and repubshed in almost every Wing paper in
the State. According to that account, Gov. MANLY
then commenced review of the public acts of Col
REID by calling the attention of the auditory to his
(Col R's) votes in the State Legislature the bill
establishing Common Schools, He gave brief his
tory of the origin and object of this school fund He
said this fund created to school the white chill
dren OF the State and particularly the poor and ig
norant portion that the votes of Col REID had been
to divert it from this purpose and had been in part
the means of this fund being divided among the
counties according to federal NUMBERS instead of be-
ing divided according to the uhite population, as
should haze been done. That by these votes of Col
REDS the Vest had lost thousands of dollars annu-
ally and thus the wealthy slaveholding counties of
the East, where they able to send their chill
dren abroad to school, received an undue proportion
of the school fund.-
Moreover, this Greensboro Patriot that con-
tains this report of Mr. MANLYs remarks, in edi-
torial article upon free suffrage, says:
We 60 for free suffrage too with all our heart
and strengthen free suffrage that shall be worth
something to the freemen of our State-a free suff
rage connected with representation that approach
more nearly to equality than that the present
basis. But we hear not word of Col REID, or of
his Democratic associates anywhere in the State, IA
rights by Constitutional amendments, oh no!'
| 1t is thus that Coy MANLY talks in the West, and
that Western Wing papers talk about the school
fund, and the present basis of representation.

Rcspect to Gen, TAYLOR,

The procession YESTERDAY in honor of the memory
of Gen. TAYLOR, late President of the United States
was the most imposing display which has ever been
made in Wilmington. The military and the various
societies, Masons, Odd Fellows Rechabites, and 9TH
ers out in great strength and brilliant uniform
and regalia. We think the line extended fully half
MILE if not more.
The Presbyterian Church, where the grafton was
delivered, was crowded to its utmost capacity The
ceremonies of the day opened by singing and
prayer, the prayer by the Rev. Pastor JENNETT,
whose venerable appearance and solemn manner har-
monized admirably with the mournful occasion. An
eulogy upon the character of the dec ased then
delivered by THOMAS LoRING, Esq. Of the grafton it
is sufficient to say that it calm dignifed and in
good TASTE pervaded by deep, religious feeling, yet
devoid of sectariansm dwelling upon the prominent
traits of Gen TAYLoRs character yet without offend
ing the political views or opinions of any one.
Of the accessories of the procession, have not
now time to speak. They were admirable, and re-
feet credit upon the Committee of Arrangements
Business suspended, the bells tolled, and
guns fired every half hour from the rising to the set
ting of the sum- and everything marked the respect
of our citizens for the Office which the deceased had
filed and the services which he had rendered upon
the battlefield.

Thursday, the First Of August.

Thursday next will be the day of election, when
it will become the duty of every citizen to exercise his
constitutional rights at the ballot-box We hope
that will be found wanting hut that every man
will come forward and deposit his vote, that full
expression of the popular feeling may be obtained,
and we may know how many men in this section of
the State-Whigs or Demochts-are willing to sane
ton change in the present basis of representation
by voting for Gov. MANLY. How many in New Han
over, in Brunswick, Bladen, or Columbus, Duplin,
Sampson, or Onslow? How many in any of the
slaveholding counties of the East or West. We be-
gin to see the company of Wings in Edgecombe re-
duced to corporal's guard and finally disappear
We see that many in our midst, who still adhere
to that party, find it impossible to support Governor
MANLY in his agrarian schemes, and Free-Sol afni-
ties We feel convinced, that if this matter were
fully understood and acted upon by the people of the
East, Col. REDS vote would be unanimous; and
call upon all the friends of Col REID-a the frineds
of the present bass-all the friends of the Eas-all
the friends of the State and of the Constitution, to
exert themselves between now and the day of cleo
ton Let them bring this matter home to the peo-
pie Let them point out the full enormity of Gov.
MANLY's demagoguical course; and let no effort be
spared to bring every voter up to the polls Let it
be borne in mind, that twelve additional votes in
each county would have elected Mr.. REID in 1913,
and that New Hanover and Sampson alone might
have polled four hundred more than they did.
edo hope that friends in each election district
will devote one whole day-that of eection-to see
ing that every vote polled for Mr. REID Leta GER
tain number of gentlemen in each district acquain-
ted with the district and every in it, constitute
themselves or be constituted, Committee for this
purpose This is all that is needed to secure Mr.
RE1Ds election and with it the triumph of the peo
ME over the Central Clique that would force Mr.
MANLY upon them-the triumph of the Constitution
aoa;nst Free Soil innovation and agrarianism. Poll
avery vote and THE IS OURS!

Amendments to the Constitution.

As there seems to be mistaken impression abroad
in regard to the mode of eecting alterations in the
constitution, many persons eonceving that conven-
ton is necessary for such purpose, think it right
to state precisely the provisions of the constitution
upon this subject, which may be found in the first
section of the fourth article of the constitution The
mode is there laid down as follows The bill con-
tanning any proposed amendment must first pass one
Legislature by the votes of threefths of the whole
number of members of both Houses 1t must then
be published six months previous to election Of
members to the General Assembly, and it, after such
publication it pass by twothirds of the whole repre-
sentation in each House of the next General Assem-
bly,, then it shall be submitted to the qualified voters
of the House of Commons throughout the State; and
if majority of all the votes be cast in its favor, then,
and not till then, the same shall become part of
the constitution.
We know that it has been objected to by some,
even of the friends of Equal Suffrage that in order
to effect this change it would be necessary to call
convention, which would leave the whole constitu-
ton open to change and innovation. Such, howev-
er, is not the This single and definite reform
may be embodied in bill-passed through one Legis-
ature by ffths through the next by twothirds
and then submitted to the people and embodied into
the constitution without involving any other change
or having anything to do with convention.
