A Word to Our Legislators,

We wish to say a word to the members
of the General Assembly, irrespective of
party, on subject of vital importance to
them and to their constituents.
Many of you feel the inconvenience very
sensibly of a lack of mail facilities: your
families, in most instances, in order to hear
from you, must send number of miles TO
the nearest post Office, and then, if they do
not happen to hit on the right day for the
mail, must return without the coveted let
ter. We think it lies within your power
to remedy this evil, and with all due defer
ence to your sagacity and wisdom, we sug-
gest that the two Houses pass joint reso-
luton, setting forth the grievance, and ask
the powers in Washington City to restore
to the State of North Carolina the old mail
routes.
To our own knowledge, in Western North
Carolina, away from the Railroad lines,
there is great lack of mail service; per-
haps more so than in any other portion of
the Statewide in the East, the suffering
in this respect is bad enough.
In some counties, there is only one post
office, and one mail week; consequently
the people are buried alive SO far as the
news of the world is concerned. We be-
ieve if the matter is fairly represented
all the facts are properly set forth, the post
master general would not hesitate to restore
the mails heretofore enjoyed by our
people.
There is not day that we do not receive
letters calling on us to agitate this subject
and ask action. Persons living in the inte
rior write to us, and send their letters twen-
ty and thirty miles to mail them, stating
that their people all want to take the pa
pers but cannot do so for the want of post
Offices
Congress will assemble in few DAYS
and the subject if acted on promptly, would
no doubt if such a course is necessary, be
brought Immediately before that body.

A Short Session Wanted.


The people of North Carolina are poor.
-Four years of fierce civil war and the conse-
quent changes have made them so. 1t
then should be the aim of all the servants of
the State to cut down to the lowest possible
point every necessary expense, and to pre-
vent entirely any unnecessary expense. This
is the duty of every man who really wishes
to serve the people of this State.
To the Legislature the people naturally
look for relief By its acts it can do much
to help the people, or much to distress them
We have every reason to believe that the
present Legislature wishes to do all in it
power to aid the people, and to add to their
prosperity. 1t has already given proof that
the people can trust to its willingness to do
anything to advance the interests of the
State.
We wish, however, to call its attention to
one point which 1t seems to have forgotten
and that Is the propriety of holding
short session. The daily expenses of the
Legislature are not less than fourteen hun
bred dollars, or forty-two thousand dollars
per month. This is a large amount in the
present impoverished condition of the State,
and its payment should not be continued a
day longer than is absolutely necessary.
The business which is to come before this
session of the Legislature is of simple ma
ture, being mostly matters concerning the
amending and elimination of the law. Bust
ness OF this nature can be quickly disposed
OF, and will not give rise to extended de.
bates. Therefore it is manifest that the pres-
emit session of the Legislature should be a
short one.
We suggest to the Legislature the propri-
ETY. OF passing resolution fixing the time
for its final adjournment. Such an action
would have tendency to greatly facilitate
the dispatch of business, and would do
much to prevent that press of business
which caused SO much hasty and ill-advised
legislation during the latter part of the last
session. We think that the Legislature, if
reasonably diligent, should be able to dis
pose OF all the business before it, or likely to
come before it, by the last of January, and
think that it should pass a resolution fixing
the first day of February as the day upon
which it will adjourn.
We feel certain that such an action would
be appreciated by the people, and do much
to prove to them that the Legislature is
working for their best interests. Let the
resolution be introduced without delay.

The Political TrapeZe.

Liberal as the free winds of Heaven, we
are always ready to accord praise to merit,
and to applaud the perilous feats of those
who venture for our amusement ; and thus
we find ourselves disposed to express appro-
baton of the great success of the Demo-
cratic party in the Legislature, in their dar-
ing acts of the "fying trapeze," although
we must be allowed to say, by way of criti-
cism, that there was some bungling and
mixing the ropes-a mistake not to be seen
in well regulated circus.
Now, it is evident that the Democrats
were not anxious to go into Committee
of the Whole last Saturday, notwithstand-
ing they called for such an arrangement
they were accommodated, but made moth
ing, and were greatly relieved when the
farce ended.
We find them voting, in many intances
against their own avowed schemes, and
throwing cart wheels " and back somer-
saults," whenever they are pursued by
the Republican party with proposition of
general amnesty, or with proposition to
stand by the credit of the State.
In truth, their leaders have taken wa
ter" and they swim off as smoothly as
puddle duck on the placid face of mill
pond. Their position is truly amusing to
the Republican party, but embarrassing to
themselves; and the end of the whole mat
ter is, the Democratic party have been
caught in trick to embarrass and harrass
the Republican party-to throw obstacles
in their way, and they, the Democrats now
throw up their hands and acknowledge their
own duplicity.
What seemed few days ago mist, is now
a plain MONDAY fact-that the Democratic
party with their cunning leaders, do not in
tend that the present General Assembly shall
transact any measures tending to alleviate
the burdens of the people, or to advance the
interest of the State-Gifthey can help it j; and
it is equally plain, that the Republican par
ty see this, and will join in no s.iog-rollincn
to please set of men who are never so han
Ply as when acting the par. of "worm woodn
in the play.
We have watched these political jugglers
with silent tongue, confident, that by Civ
ing them rope, they would hang themselves
most effectually, and thus save our party the
disagreeable duty of so unpleasant politi-
cal wholesale execution. They have &C.
complished the deed, and it is now with the
Republican party to follow up blow with
blow, and drive the last man to the WALL
We say, let it be done.

Taxes.

We see that many private bills in relation
to taxes are already being introduced into
the Legislature. Some are to enable sheriffs
to collect arrears of taxes, some to enable
sherlffs to do this others to enable sheriffs
to do, or not to do, something else. All this
is wrong. If sheriff has been prevented
by sickness or some other unavoidable cause
from collecting his taxes in full, we have no
objection to his being allowed time to do so.
Butwe are opposed to this pernicious system
of allowing sherifs or ex-sherifs to 60 back
two, three or four years to collect arrears of
taxes. In nine cases out of ten such cases the
sheriff did not collect the full amount of
taxes because he wished to be popular that
he might secure reelection.
The fault was his own and he should not
be allowed to bother the people, who have
paid their taxes once to pay them ag ain
People do net as general thing, keep their
tax receipts more than year, and may be
forced to pay again taxes which thew Maid
long ago. The people cannot perceive the
beneficence of such acts nor the wisdom of
the legislation which allows them. We
hope that any such bill will be killed at once
There are also other bills to suspend the
collection OF taxes fromcertain corporations.
We do not like such bills. The State needs
all the money she can raise, and we do not
tnink 1t proper nor wise to allow any corpo-
ration to escape the payment of its proner
amount OF taxes. With the interest On pnr
ponds unpaid such a course would initiate
greatly against the interests Of the State,

Mr.. Jarvis has Some Reasons,

We have received from Mr.. Jarvis, of the
House letter in which he thinks we have
misrepresented his position concerning the
removal of political disabilities. We said
he voted against the Senate substitute for
the bill praying the removal of political dis
abilities. He did. The reasons he gives are
as follows:
II preferred the House resolution for two
reasons:
LIST. The House resolution instructed our
Senators-the Senate resolution requested
them.
End. The House resolution had no high
sounding, fulsOme preamble about the Sun,
Moon or the Stars-the Senate resolution
did.
We do not think Mr.. Jarvis reasons of
much weight, or that they in the least ex-
plain his course or affect our previous
remarks.
In the first place legislative request is
virtually an instruction to the Congressman
to whom it is directed The word "reoues
ted" in such cases is oftener used than the
word INSTRUCTED" Therefore we take the
first reason of Mr.. Jarvis as mere bubble
suggested by his legal brain, and as amount
ing to nothing.
His second reason is even more absurd
than his first. High sounding language in
the preamble could not inyalidate or at all
injure the text of the resolution itself, much
less render worthless the great principles
therein contained. The Republicans pre-
ferred the Senate substitute because it pro-
vlded tor the removal of political disabilities
from every man in the whole South, while
the House resolution but referred to the
State. Therefore we C. mot but think that
in voting against the substitute Mr.. Jarvis.
and his fellow Democrats" did vote against
the removal of political disabilities. ''The.
sun, moon or stars" would scarcely be affect
ted to any perceptible degree by the Ian
guage of the preamble, while the Southern
people are severely affected by the political
disabilities now imposed upon them. We
think it would have been much better for
Mr.. Jarvis and his fellow Democrats to
have shown less solicitude about the sun
moon and stars and more for the banned
and prescribed people of the South.

The Militia Law.

1t is singular to see how unanimously
the Democratic" papers oppose the sugges-
ton of the Governor that the militia law be
SO amended as to give. the power to make it
effective. As the law now stands the militia
is a useless organization. for it cannot be
used in the very localities where it is need
ed. For instance, take the county of Or
ange. 1t is infested by Ku Klux, who com
NIT most outrageous deeds. There is no Sc
curity for the life or property of any man
to whom the Ku Klux MAY be opposed. Yet
the Governor is powerless to prevent their
outrages or to remedy the existing state OF
affairs
Why?
Because the country is controlled by Dem
ocratic officials, who will not request that
militia be sent to them, and the Governor
cannot send militia into the county except
at the request of the magistrates. Thus the
officials do not enforce the laws upon the
pretence of being unable to do so. and will
not permit the Governor to do it for them
Again. By the present law any citizen
can refuse to serve in the militia, and upon
payment of two dollars cannot be forced to
90 so. All this is wrong, and the Legisla-
ture should Immediately SO amend the mil.
ltla law as to make it answer the purnose
which it was intended to answer. The in.
terests OF the State require this.

Indemnity to LOYAL Citizens.

We observe that Mr.. Moore, of Chowan,
introduced into the House on Tuesday a
series OF resolutions, looking to the indem-
nifty of loyal citizens by the National gov
eminent for property other than slaves, ia
ken during the war for the use of the Ma
tional forces. This is step in the right di-
rection. Citizens who remained loyal to the
government during the war, of whatever
political opinions they may now be should
be fully paid for their losses. Mr.. Moore
will receive the concentrations of all fail
minded men for the interest he has exhibit
ed in this matter, and we only trust that he
may be entirely successful in his efforts.
