MILITARY IN PASOUOTANK.

Mr.. EDITOR Saturday 18th, being the day APP
pointed for the reorganization of the militia of Pas
quotank, Maj Gen. u. Mcdonald of the LIST District,
came down for that purpose. A deputaton consist
ing Of the commissioned officers of both volunteer
companies met the General at Woodville, PcrQui-
mans county, on Friday, and escorted him to this
place. .-..
The 18th came in cloudy and it was feared that it
would rain before noon. The militia of the county
assembled main street. and the work of enr ling
and eecting officers commenced. At 10 o'clock the
"Indepcndent Greys," Capt. Cohoon, mastering IS
men, marched from their Armory on South Road
street, commonly known as Leather Hill" and
were received at the Court House by the State
GuardS," Capt. Martin, mastering 40 men.
The election of field officers carried on under
the supervision of Inspector Gen. Mann and Quarter
Master Martin, the companies, in turn, marching in
the Court House and voting, the "Greys,' being
the Senior company, first, then the Guards" after
whom the militia according to their number.
The result of the election was IS follows: J.. d.
Starkc, ESQ., Colonel VIM. C. Davis, ESQ.,, Lieu
tenant Colonel; S. D. Cartwright, Esq, Major.
At 12I o'clock, the Guards, marching up TO the
Head Quarters of the Greys, escorted them to the
house of W. F. Martin, Esq, where they Ghe Guards

Tin. After which, both companies having paraded
the principal streets, were dismissed
This was truly grand day for Elizabeth City, le-
ing the first time the companies associated;
enlargement having existed between them since
their formation, which we hope is for ever Oblier
atcd.
The uniform of the Greys is a close-bodied coat
with skirts long and broad, trimmed with black ;
that of the Guards a blue frock coat trimmed with
yellow Gen. Mcdonald, a veteran of 1912.
highly pleased with his reception and expressed him
self in words to this eect-that it was a very fine
display and both companies are an ornament to the
town; that the Guards were exceedingly handsome
ard gav but the Greys presented more sodier-like
appearance.
Both companies being invited by the citizens Of
Camden county, will escort the General and his Aids
there on Mondry 10th inst, at which time he has
ordered the militia out for reorganization.

Mr. HOLDEN 1T may be of interest to your read
erS learn the history of the amended article in the
Constitution restricting the Legislature to an cqual
ty tax on polls. In the session of IS3:i-'34 bill
passed the Senate but rejected by the Com
mons, proposing the call Of a Convention for the
amendment of the Constitution in several particu-
lars Amongst the proposed amendments, was the
one that the General Assembly shall not abolish
slavery; and that ctpitatiOn taxes should be equal
on all persons" The hill containing this PROPOSE
ton was rejected 10y the Commons when the friends
of a Convention held public meeting, and appointed
an Executive Committee charged with the duty of adj
dressing the people Of the State iii favor OF the
sure.
The great subject Of complaint in the West was
the inequality Of representation by counties. This
it was proposed to change from the basis of cOun
ties to the basis Of population and taxation The
Committee selected TO prepare the address consisted
of " H. Haywood W. \. Graham, Il. u. Saunders,
W. Il. Gales, James Scwc.l and W. X. llargravc
The address was confined mainly To the question of
the unequal representation as it then stood.
The call of = Convention prevailed, and when the
Convention met in 1852 the proposition to the
poll tax was referred to a select Committee, which
the journal shows reported the amendment as it now
stands in the Constitution The Committee consist
ed of Gov Swain DIR. Williams, of Pitt, and others.
There appears to have been no division the sub
iect and the measure was adopted without debate
In Gales Volume of Debates it appears that no de-
bate was ever had on the proposed amendment, but
in a debate on another question an aluSion is made
to this question by several speakers. Gov Swain
said he had voted for the amendment, TO allay the
jealousy and fear Of the East. Mr.. Chas. Fisher
stated in substance the same, and added that he
thought the East felt too morbid sensbility the
subject. Mr.. CASTOR replied 10 this, that the East
had her apprehension the subject, as they did
from the West desire the adoption of the arhite
basis.
This shows very clearly the fears of the East at
that day, and that they insisted the insertion of
this restriction in all future legislation against i'm
posing heavy taxes on the slave population. 1t was
a clear compromise, otherwise the Constitution as
amended never could have been adopted. The East
we'll knew the white population was going West
and the compromise is as binding in good faith as
the compromise the federal Constitution in regard
to slavery. We defy Mr. Badger or his followers
to deny this or to show what Free Suffrage has to
do with the question. The truth is, the Opposition
know, they have been willing to hetray the interest
of the Constitution in the vain hope of gaining pc
litical power, and hence this undesirable apology.
But it not my purpose to 60 into this question:
but to give you the origin and history of measure
which seems destined to produce so much agitation.
Yours, &C., Z.

OF the services of this gentleman, i'll his official
capacity, the Portsmouth Transcript says:
4" lie in carly life devoted by his father to the
service of the country and in the year 1912 he
tered the navy midShipman. When the war with
Great Britain broke ont he distinguished himself
while serving under Commodore Rogers, on the
Chesapeake Bay, and was highly commended by his
commander for his gallantry and good conduct in
some of the most i'm oortant battles during the war
of 1Sl2-I3 He WAS subsequently promoted to a
Licutenancy, and obtained in 1921 the command of
a slOop-of-war with which lie was despatched to the
coast of Africa, to aid in the suppression Of The
slave trade; and while engaged in that service he
accomplished by an act Of daring chivalry the pur-
chase of the Territory which formed the nucleus of
the new. extensive and houri>hing colony of Libc-
ria. When war declared with Mexico, he WAS
placed in command of our naval fleet in the Pacific
and performed the duties of Commodore, General
and Governor; and the foundations of religion, ctu-
cation and social progress laid by his lnStrrl-
mentality in many of those OutpostS Of our West
world Soon after his return from the Pacific
he resigned his commission in the navy, and at once
devoted himself to the internal improvements of his
native State. lie subsequently elected United
States Senator from 1851 to 1852 New Jersey is

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN-Above we publish
the first appointments of Gov Ellis. 1t apPearS Mr..
Pool was TO commence his canvass last week, with
out consulting Gov. Ellis as to joint appointments.
This dodge tried by Mr. Glmer, but didn't do.
Nor will it do now The official duties of Gov. Ellis
will necessarily deain him much in l;alegh, but we
presume he will make time enough to satisfy the
Opposition and its candidate If all our friends will
but prosecute the canvass with the zeal Gov. Ellis
will throw into IT. by August and November next
not vestige of the Fossils" will remain The
Governor may not be able to make many appoint
ments as he could desire; twould therefore be well
to circulate his speech before the Convention as ex-
tensively as possible. The speech can be made to
find; its way into quarters which Gov. Ellis cannot
reach, to be read and thought over by thousands
who can find neither time nor opportunity to hear
the speaker.-Sdlis6ury Banner.

REMAEK ABLE OCCUIREHCE.-We were informed,
says the Barnwel Sentinel a few days ago, in the
presence of gentleman, at the Barnwc Drug
Store, that a physician of this district, who was
lately out OH hunting excursion, had the barrels
of his gun explode from using portion of the Sen
tinGl as wadding This is certainly very remark
able occurrence, but may be easily accounted for
The portion used contained an advertisement of the
Barnwcll Drug Store, and from the great quantity
of gas used, together with the powder, our medical
friend came near being blowed to Kingdom come"
Persons who are fond of hunting, WILL in future,
beware of using any portion of the paper that may
contain them. To prevent similar occurrences, use
this and last weeks ISSUE Wonder if that physician
has much of run of practice ?-ETchaHgG.
If there is any truth in the above report we wonld
advise our sporting friends not to use Opposition
newspapers for wadding. A better mode by which
to commit suicide could scarcely be invented than
for a man to shoot gun wadded with the editorials
of the Opposition Press For instance the gas
manufactured semi occasionally for the columns of
the Wilmington Herald is combustbc and very
dangerous.-Fdy. Courier.
