The District Convention.

We were gratified at the very general attendance
at the District Convention held in Goldsooro' OF
Wednesday last. With the exception OF Pitt
Jones and Onslow, all the counties were repre-
scented. The utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed We witnessed gentlemen, belonging t(
all the parties which have for many years past di
vided the people of our State. sitting together IL
political meeting for the first time IN their lives
moved by a common sentiment of hearty ano
honest desire to restore the Federal Union to its
former prosperity upon honorable and Constltu'
tional grounds, and united in unanimous aPpro
val of the Federal Administration
With little or no important diversity of oplnloh'
the proceedings of the Convention were not CHAR
acterized by the discussions usually attendant upon
sncb assemblages. The selection of delegates was
made at the unanimous isuggestion of a commit
tee representing eachcounty, and received the APP
proyal of the Convention without division upon a
cira cOCe vote.
II is useless for us to add our approval OF the
delegates chosen Judge Manly and Mr. Wright
are known throughout the State as gentlemen OF
eminence, ability, mature judgment and wise and
discreet friends of North Carolina and of the I'm
ion. They have neither held political positions
of importance, but are distinguished as members
of the bar of this State. We confident that
the people of the District WILL with great unanlm-
ity endorse the action of their delegates In these
appointments The Convention manifested their
earnest desire to secure the services of these gen.
tlemen at Philadelphia by almost unanimous re-
frsal to appoint alternate delegates, upon the
ground that such action might furnish possible
excuse for the non-acceptance of ono or both OF
the gentlemen already elected 80 thai
now, should either or both of the dele
gates refuse to accept their appointment,
the District would be only partially
represented or entirely unrepresented, as no au'
thority is vested in any to fill vacancy, and
the time is entirely too short for the meeting OF
another Convention, if it was not otherwise i'm
practicable.
The Hon. George Howard, of Edgecombc, was
named as the choice of the Convention for one OF
the delegates for the State at large to be selected
by the district delegates on the 10th of August
next, at Raleigh, to which meeting our delegates
were requestedto attend We know, from the high
estimation in which Judge Howard is held by the
two delegates selected from this district, that it
would hardly require request on the part of the
Convention to have secured for him their hearty
support.

The Tallahassee F2oridin advises concert Of

States Courts, the Legitimacy of the Federal taxes
levied during the war, and now being collected
from the Southern States. 1t denies the rightful
ness of such collections and rests upon the OF
Tile United States Us. Rice reported in 4th Whea-
ton. Daniel Webster was defendants counsel,
and Judge Story delivered the unanimous opinion
of the Court.
The FYo,iain,, states the facts as follows Their
application to the case of the Southern tax payer
within the Confederate lines during the war, is
palpable:
In 1914 the United States and Great Britain being at
the British authorities took possession Of the port of
Casne in the State of Maine and held it until the tern,
nation of hoses, when possession of it resumed
by the United States. While thus held and governed by
authority hostile to the United States, goods subject to
the payment of taxes under laws in
roduced into said port They were found there when
attempted to be enforced against them by
bond for the duties given by the owners and it
made, upon which the dec-ion of the Supreme
Court given 1t commended for the United States

then be enforced here See how Judge Story, speaking
not alone for himself but for Judge Marshall and all the
other members Of that lustrous beench disposes of
this sophystly:
We all of the opinion that the claim for duties
not be sustained BY the conquest and military occupa
ton of Castne, the enemy acquired that firm possession
which enabled i'm to exercise the fullest rights Of
eighty that place The sovereignty Of the United
States the territory suspended and the laws of

Castine therefore, during this period, far

to require Such goods in correct import

the enemy, and the resumption of authority by the United
States did not and could not change the character of the
previous transaction
The Court in conclusion, intimate that the case
is too clear to admit ofargument- remarking very
expressvcly, - the authorities cited at bar would
if there any doubt, be decisive of the ques-

The GubernatoriaI Canvnss-Gen. Ransc

We publish elsewhere the letter of Gen. NJ. W.
Ransom declining to be candidate for Governor.
The letter in its tone and sentiments is character
istic of it's distinguished author. But few men
in the State, either as a citizen OF soldier, has
such strong hold on the affections of the people
of North Carolina as General Ransom. Even the
papers, which have approvingly published the err
,rao,tliaUy speech of the Hon. Thomas Settle,
denouncinS those who adhered to the Confederate
cause after lie abandoned IT, as n.wdererS, had no
word of bitterness, OF even of i'll favor, to utter
against him or his claims to the high Office for
which his friends urging him, during the
time his name has been before the public in the
attitude of probable ca4lidate.
Gen. Ransom's entire connection with the
Southern movement, from the time he served this
State as q Commissioner, in connection with the
Hon. d. L. SWAIN and Colonel John l.. Bridgers,
to the Provisional Government of the Confederate
States, at Montgomery, Ala, until he surrendered
his gallant brigade at Appomatox Court House, IS
one that reflects credit alike upon himself and his
native State. He is equally mertorious as civil
ian. An able lawyer, and a finished scholar, he
is particularly distinguished as one of the most
brilliant orators in the State.
The people o. North Carolina fully appreciate
the good judgment and patriotic feelings which
influence him at this time in declining the use of
his name as a candidate for Governor They will
agree with him to the improperly of dividing
our people by heated political canvass, and the
injury that might be caused thereby. The call
which has been made upon General Ransom has
been of the most fattering character, and the I'M
selfshness and candor which marks his declina-
tion, gives the very best evidence of his fitness to
fill acceptably and honorably the position to which
he has been so highly recommended

The Crops.

During our recent visit to GoldsborO', we met
gentlemen from various portions Of this Congress
ional District, and had with many of them con-
versations in reference to the condition and pros
poets Of the crops. Our Edgecombe, Wilson and
Craven friends gave the most encouraging account
of the prospect for good crop. In these counties,
the seasons seem to have been more prOpitiOus,
especially for the culture of cotton, and we heard
rather less complaint i'll reference to the freed
men. In Edgecombe, so far could learn,
the prospect throughout the whole county was
better than in the others, though our Craven
friends were not disposed to regard theirs
second to any. In Greene, wo learn, that
there had been too much rain for cotton, causing
the weed to grow so rapidly thatit had not branch
ed sufficiently. In that county. however, cspe-
cially in the uplands, the corn was very fine, In
Lenoir the crops were promising, and the rains
of the last few days being much needed, were
most timely, and will do much to forward the
crops. We heard moro complaint from Carteret
than from any other quarter, especially on and
near the Sound, where they had suffered exceed
ingly from the drouth. The gentlemen from that
section spoke gloomiy of their corn prospects.
There seemed to be much diversity of opinion
in Wayne, many contending that from the long
continuance of the dry and hot weather that the
crops could not now be benefited by a change,
while others thought the recent rains would bring
them up to q good standard. Our own limited
observation went to confirm the opinions of the
latter. While the cotton small the stand was
quite good, and the weed looked green and heal
thy. From Duplin we did not receive encour-
aging accounts as had hoped. We heard of
moro complaints in reference to the want of indus
Try on the part of freedmen, than from other por-
Eons of the district.
We sincerely trust that the rains which we have
been blessed with in the last few days will do much
to restore the crops in this county The corn es-
pecielly has suffered greatly from drouth, and
while the rains may be too late to benefit the ear
~ crops, we think they must have been very OPP
pcssaue for the later ones .I,7p.pH

The Late ConycnIion.-CoI. Aliens Letter.

In publishing the letter Of Col. VIM. \. Allen,
of Duplin, i'll our issue of the 10Th inst, made
a few editorial remarks i'll relation thereto. Pre-
pairing to leave our post for day OF SO, we were
able to give his letter only very hasty perusal-
We are now convinced that did its author in
justice in saying that he occupied similar grounds
to that assumed By the Committee on Banks and
Banking in the last Legislature. Col. Allen does
not hold that the local, municipal Tar of con-
quered country, contra distinguished from its
Constitution is discontinued, as was attempted to
be shown in that report, but that it continues III
force after the conquest and until the govern
ment that may be established, repeats the same
But that the Constitution of country, being Il
part of the Government cannot continue after the
destruction of the Government.
This distinction will be readily seen, and we
owe it to Col. Allen to make the explanation. We
