ARE THEY ELIGIBLE I've have been asked several
times if Judge or Solicitor was eligible to seat in
the State Convention just called by the Legislature
Section 4th of Article 4th of the Amended Consttu-
ton Of n Orth Carolina says
"NO person who shall hold any office or place of trust
or profit under the United States or any department
thereof under this State any other State or Gov
Crnment, shall hold exercise ANY OTHER OFFICE or
place Of trust profit Ulder the authority Of this State
be eligible to seat in either House of the General
Assembly provided that nothing herein contained
shall extend to officers in the Militia Justice of the
Peace"
The Convention being called "under the authority Of
this State" it appears conclusive that Judge OF
Solicitor, any other State Government officer, is
not eligible to seat-military officers and Justices OF
the Peace alone excepted.
And it is also a fair inference to suppose that =
member of the present Legislature is not eligible for
even II the Legislature to adj ourn before the Con
venton meets the members continue to hold their places
until their successors are elected-Wesern Democrat
We think the precedents are opposed to the view ta
ken by the Democrat. If we are not mistaken Judges
and other high officials held seats in the Convention Of
1885 The act calling the Convention prescribes no
qualifications for delegates, and consequently makes no
exclusions We 90 not think that seat in sovereign
Convention has been at any time regarded as an Office
in the sense of the section Of the Constitution referred
to- We think the object Of the act and the spirit of the
law is to afford the widest latitude of choice in this
The act does not say that the qualifications of dele
gates shall be the as those of members of the
House of Commons. Although we think it would be
right still we do not think there is any imperative ne
cessy for candidate for delegate owning one hundred
acres Of land.

Col. HAYNE AND THE PREsIDENT-The Charleston
papers give the substance of the Presidents reply to
Col. Hayne. 1t was made on the 8th through Secre-
tary Holt. The Secretary takes the ground that the
rights of the General Government not simply those
of proprietorshp, but also those of exclusive
jurisdiction springing from no doubtful revolutionary
right but conferred by the express ceson of the ground
by South Carolina herself. The President might as
well be asked to sell the National Capitol, Maryland
to assent jurisdiction over the District of Columbia
He says that the right to send achievements when
in the judgment Of the President the safety Of the gar
rison requires them rests the unquestonable
foundation the right to occupy the fort. He denies
that the fort is any threat to Charleston II
was put there for protection and will not be otherwise
employed unless attack is made upon it, The reply
closes thus
IT. with all the multiplied proofs which exist of the
Presidents anxiety for peace and OF the earneStness
with which be has pursued it, the authorities of South
Carolina shall assault Fort Sumter, and peril the lives
of the handful OF brave and loyal shut up within
horrors of civil war, then upon them and those they
represent, must rest the responsibility"
On the 7th COL Hayne sent in short rejoinder, and
forwarded the following Geographic dispatch to the Gov
ernor of South Carolina
WASHINGTON, February 1.-The Presidents reply
through Holt is only flat REFUSAL but is insulting
in its tone.
My mission would shame me and disgrace the Stat
if Sumter is held one moment longer than necessity
compels submission on your part.

The Richmond Dispatch of the 9th inst, makes the
following remarks relative to the position Of the Dele
gates elected to the Virginia Convention. We pre-
sumo it is a very fair explanation
The Convention.
There will evidently be large majority OF so-caled
"Unonists returned to the Convention. But the term
should not be misunderstood at the North 1t is In
definite in Southern elections. In Alabama Tor IN
stance, "Union meant "cooperat'on, and "co-opera'
ton" meant that when five States out the coop
erationsts ready to CO.
The Virginia Convention, whatever be the party
names applied to its members will insist on settlement
of difficulties at this time in proper manner and
the only question of difference among its members Will
be the length of time to be employed in efforts at
the restoration of the Union. On this point eUSts w
assist the body in coming to proper conclusion, and
when that is reached everybody will no doubt concur
and cooperate.
AS to the so-called Union men being submission
lists we need only point to John NJ. Speed and Jhom-
as Branch Ii they will submit to anything which
Virginia ought to reject, shall be greatly dsap-
! pointed in our estma Of men. james ID. Coke,
of Chesterfield another represented as strongly
Union. There is doubt that he is an! will use his
efforts to restore the Union but that be will desire to
humble Virginia before Black Republican misrue, by
accepting anything short OF what Is right and just TO
/ the South, we do not believe.
We believe the Virginia Convention will be indeed
Convention of Virginians-that they will accept the
condition of the country the guide for their action
that they will be ready vindicate Virgina-and that
they will be true to the unity OF Southern interest and
the integrity of Southern feeling All this we believe
and what is logical deduction from the premises
believe that Virginia will be content with settlement
that does not RESTORE THE WHOLE UNION
If that cannot be accomplished she WILL of choice, as
we'll as from the necessity of her position, GO WITH
| SOUTHERN CoNFED ERACY.

The Legislature.

The Legislature, having disposed Of the Convention
question: appears disposed to go to work in earnest to
dispose of the matters of ordinary legislation brought to
its attention. with the view of early adjournment.
Among other bills passed, find that the Senate on
Tuesday passed bill for the relief of the people," be
ing in fact stay law. What its operation may be, re-
mains to be SEEN We fear that it will not have the eff
feet desired by its introducers and supporters We
that our Senator, Mr.. Hail. voted against it, and we
think he did right. The vote was not at all party
vote. 1t is regarded as certain to pass the House.
The bill to enable the Western Railroad Company tC
extend their Road from the Coal Fields to the NORTH
Carolina Railroad has been passed by the Senate. The
bill gives $5O0000 which, however, is only to be giver
on compliance with the condition that the rails for th
extension shall be made in the State.

ton & Weldon Road, to some point near Fayetteville

as graded
Also the bill to secure the completion of the VIII
mington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad Gives al
additional endorsement of bonds or rather exchange
bonds.
The bill to amend the charter of the Western Roat
has also passed the Senate 1t provides for an addition
al exchange of bonds to the amount of $20OOOO Thu
Military BILL the Revenue BILL and other similar bill
are now up before both houses. The Dauvile Connec
ton has passed the House. and will most probably pas
the Senate
Upon the whole the Senate appears to have beer
quite liberal with It's appropriations to works of Inter
nal Improvement. The extension Of the Coafeld
Road to the n. g. Road and the building of brancl
of the Wilmington & Weldon Road to point nea
Fayetteville will give the State something like tru
central line of Railroad.
