EVENING STAR CIRCLE.-The So
cial Hop, at National Hall, last night,
given by the old reliable Evening
Star Circle was a perfect success,
and a delightful affair. It has sell
dom been our lot to witness a more
pleasant party, and all seemed TO be
enjoying themselves in the most per-
feet manner. The attendance of hand
some bellies and gallant beaux, was
quite large. The eliminating feature
of the evening was the elegant sup
per prepared by Mr.. Seelig. It
" capped the climax" and was GER
tainly not the least enjoyable item of
the evenings pleasures.

I The patrons of the Sentinel who have
paid in advance for their papers, must feel
highly complimented at being called "dead
heads' by the present proprietor. How
pleased they must be to be published to the
State as so many 4 dead heads to whom
Josiah gratuitousIy furnishes his paper!
We should think they would want to sub
scribe once again and take extra copies.
How ashamed they must feel when they
learn that Josiah has "reduced the wages
of every man connected with the Sentinel
because he was obliged to furnish them with
papers by the terms of his, contract with
Mr. Pell. What an encouragement is given
to those new subscribers Josiah wants to
get. AS soon as they have paid him he will
call them "dead heads,' and they will feel
mean too. Walk up, gentlemen, and sub

The Summary.

.fI.tl r., Z :.
81 The Legislature has adjourned and its
labors are before the people. The captions
of the laws show how onerous were the du-
ties of that body, and how well they were
performed. aaot ,5ass 4sn Nr
In the front rank of its good works was
the passage of liberal homestead law,
which will hereafter he lasting monument
to its fame, and tower of strength to the
people. sa'a JIt- ~
The amendments to the Code of Civil
Procedure are numerous and dictated by
experience. u3,hs ~.
'a The school law is not in all respects per-
feet, but it is the commencement of re-
publican system of free education which will
send the light of knowledge streaming
through the minds of all the children of the
old North State, Il 3 .st.--s tz.saeE fs. =
Besides the leading acts, numerous rail
road charters were granted, which, by ju-
dicious system in the collection Of revenue,
wil7open the remotest parts of our grand
commonwealth to the intercourse and mark
cts of the world.
The revenue law is as good as could be
devised. Owing TO the numerous restric-
tions of the Constitution, imposed for the
benefit of the people, it was difficult to frame
a new system of taxation which would ans
wer in all particulars to the preconceiyed
opinions OF men; but We believe that as the
law now stands. sufficient revenue will be
raised to defray both the ordinary and extra
ordinary expenses OF the Public Treasury.
The public charities of the State were re-
modelled on the liberal basis provided for
in the Constitution, and sufficient meansap-
propriated to support them for the ensuing
fiscal year.. In the same manner the iver
sity has been placed upon stable founda-
tion.. y,s s.
The commercial interests of the State were
not neglected, while the numerous acts of
Incorporation for cities and associations show
reviving spirit in all ranks of society.
A general law was passed comforting the
requisite corporate powers upon townships,
and these corporations will soon be called
upon to organize and govern themselves.
Relief was granted numerous officials and
persons whom the calamities of the past had
reduced to the necessity of applying to the
Legislature for aid. ESQ - i.st.a5'
Altogether, we think the General Assem-
bly, did well. Day by day its good works,
which live after it, viii become more appa-
rent and more appreciated. Its revilers will
be hushed by the hum OF wheels that its
laws have called into motion, and the entire
people will yet applaud its liberality and in
dependence. In our opinion the Legisla-
ture needs no elaborate defence. A fair
statament of what it has done is sufficient
for the present while the future will entire
ly vindicate the annual session of 1S68-'9.

The Goblins are Dying.


History teaches that the evil men who as
sumo command Of that seslitious and tur-.
bulent element, which is unfortunately found
mall commonwealths, are men whose talents
are limited to mediocrity, but whose purpo-
ses are akin in gferocity and cowardice to
those of beasts of prey. Wosay such men
are of the mediocre class. They hate their
betters because Of envy, Jealousy and .
consciousness of infafiority. Without sufi-
cient abilities to construct or create, or to do
permanent good, yet with the greatest pro-
pellingi power that evil nature can bestow
upon man, they learn to destroy, tear down
and demolish. This they do in packs, like
wolves. They are destructiye BY nature.
They are prone to hate thos@ governments
wherein their lots are cast. They are still
more prone to hate men ,of opposite char
acters- of worth, integrity aud patriot
ism. Such men these destructives pursue
and endeavor to torment, until they them
selves are brought to punishment. Then,
like conquered beasts, they crouch, whine
and whimper.
X; Look around in the community. Six
months ago seditious men prowled around in
packs. hunting like wolves. They were not
numerous in North Carolina, but still were
enough so to create disturbance They
injured the inoffcnsive, and were constantly
employed in doing evil: Many men we're
deluded by them, but their delusions have
now vanished. Now, through their papers,
they hold up dim representations of the
8 passions that corrode their hearts. Their
designs are still the samefor their natures
are evil. They still hate the government !;
they still SANDER good men. But they do
itmore cautiously and more humbly.
We say their papers represent the evil
that still dwells in their bosoms. The men
who control their sheets are of them and
with them. Such editors are doing more
harm than even the Others of the goblin
crew. They are enemies to peace and good
order. In intellect perverted, in passions
vicious, they are Ginning as the fox, and fe
rocious, as the wolf. Yet, like the wolf.
until oyerpressed by the hunger of revenge
they are too cowardiy to hunt alone the OBJ
ject of their hatred. rt n.l ls5ib
Look at the organ ofthese MN in Raleigh.
Look at their papers in Charlotte, Will
mington ana elsewhere. See the eyes of
hate glaring and the tongue of calumny pro-
truding from the columns of journals that
disgrace North Carolina. Hear their frantic
appeals for help. They cry out for succor.
Their conduct is meeting its punishment
they are STARRING on late It is poor food,
even for the devil, The gobiins are dying.
Such is the spectacle. Such is the. last of
the curse of slavery The goblin of sedi-
tion, expiring, calls for help in vain. With
its death will go down the goblins of riot,
murder and treason. At last the goblins
are dying! Let North Carolina rejoice. u

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The following States have ratified the
18th amendment to the Constitution, re-
Gently submitted to them by Congress:
North Carolina, March 4th; West Virginia,
March 3D.; Massachusetts, March 18th;
Wisconsin, March 9th; Maine, March 10Th;
Louisiana March 5th Michigan, March 9Th !;
South Carolina, March 16; Pennsylvania
March 26th. Missouri ratified the 1st sec.
tion of the amendment on the 1st day of
March, but failed to act on the second.
Kansas ratified it on the 9th of February,
but the second section was imperfect The
amendment was rejected by Delaware.
Georgia went through the form of rejection,
but her Legislature is incompetent to act in
its present status.
Undoubtedly the 10Th amendment will
become part of the Constitution. We ad-
vocated its ratification by this State, but
still it did not meet our entire appreciation,
for while it permits and commands that all
men, not disfranchised for rebellion or other
crime, shall vote it is silent as to their right
to hold Office We are committed to both
OF these positions, and trust the hour will
come speedily. when all who are entitled to
the ballot shall be likewise entitled to hold
office in any State of the Union l f2es

place of meeting, is about ten miles FROM David
sons Turnout, on the Charlotte and Iineolnton
Railroad. The passenger trains ON that road run
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday efeach week.
1t is therefore very desirable that those who
expect to attend this meeting should travel in
their own conveyances, not only to reach the
church, but to visit the families where they may
be accommodated. Very few persons at present
keep more vehicles than are needed By theirown
households. Bat should there be any who are
compelled to travel BY railroad, If they will give
timely information thereof to DR.. s. K. Johnston,
