ANOTHER kU-KLUx MURDER.-On,
more Ku-Klux murder occurred Nav
list, in Ceswell County, N. C. wv
Stephens, State Senator from that cou,
ty, was found dead in the court house q
1adklnville, with rope drawn Tight,
around his neck, with numerous stab,
upon his body, two of which entered b;s
heart and one his neck, and all sufficien,
to cause death. His life of late had
been repeatedly threatened by the Ku.
hlux of that vicinity, and he had taken
some precaution to avoid them. 1t is
not probable that he had been murdered
where he was found, as there was little
blood at the spot, and no Indication of a
eonhict. lie was man that would sell
his life dearly if attacked. It is even
supposed by some that he was murdered
some distance from Yadkinville the dav
before, and was brought there and plac-
ed IN the court house. The only iatelli-
gence we have so far of the affair comes
through the enemies of Stephens, and is
much distorted. They are even tele-
graphing to the North that he was ,nur,
aered by negroes whom he had offended
but there cannot be particle of truth

Some of our contemporaries speak of
the late Fenian raid in manner indi-
eating that they don't fully appreciate
the age of "spasmodic" and explosive
mania" in which they live. At the in
slant of crossing the line they were
doubtless under the influence of this
modern mania, though it is evident they
very soon after got out of it, anG are
therefore entitled to the benefit of the

The Currant Worm Again.

This pest has appeared again, and has
commenced the work of destruction in
earnest upon the leaves of the currant
bush. We find no account of them in
Harris, Fitch. or Kollar. The eggs
which produce them are probably from
a fly of some kind. They are deposited
on the under side of the leaf, in rows,
and placed, usually ON the centre rib of
the leaf, sometimes on two or three of
the ribs. When Matched, they eat a
small hole through the tender leaf, and
then march off to its edges, and frequent
ly surround it entirely. How long the
eggs will continue to be Matched we do
not know; indeed, very little seems to
be known of the fly that deposits the
eggs, or the habits of the worm that des-
troys the foliage. We hope some one
will give US information on the whole
matter.
Various modes of destroying the worm
have been suggested. We have tried sew
erai ways, but find only one that prom
ises success, and even that remedy may
prove destructive. The remedy is to be-
gin to pick off the leaves containing the
eggs, as far as they can be found, and
follow this up, picking off the leaves
containing the worms, as fast as they are
Matched. They are easily found by the
broken leaves or bare stems. But i
this process is carried too far, the growth
of the fruit will be suspended, by arrest
ing the action between leaf and fruit.
The flour of hellebone ;ifted upon
them is said to destroy them. This is a
poison, and must be used with care. The
carbollc soap did not kill the IN in the ex-
periments first made. They evidently
disliked it, but would shake their sides
and crawl off. A stronger dose might be
more effectual with them. Now is the
time to look after the pests and extermi-
nate them.
A correspondent of the Oneida Dis
patch says: "To destroy the curran1
worms, 60 out at s or 8 O'Clock in thu
evening and jar the bushes so as to throw
the worms on the ground. Do this three
successive evenings, when the worms
make their appearance. This will finish
them for the present year, and if every
body will do it for three successive wear
it will destroy the race. ~. f. Farmer

Constitutional Conventions of 1850
1857 and 1870.

1857 and 1870.
The most important Constitutional
Convention in Vermont for thirty five
years past, was that of 1S50-that is,
important as to the number of changes
made from the old way of doing things.
1t was at this time that county officers,
judges, sheriff, states attorney, justices
of the peace, DC, were made elective by
the people.
This convention assembled on We'd
nesday the I'd day of January 1850, and
was first called to order by Hon. Calvin
Townsley, the member from Brattleboro,
when Hon. Charles K. Field, of Newfane
(now member elect from Brattleboro,) J
proposed temporary organization and
nominated Hon. Luther B. Hunt of St.
Adams as President pro tempore. Some
objection was made to this course and
discussion followed, but the motion final
ly prevailed, and Lucius H. Noyes of
Hydepark was in like manner elected
Secretary pro tenn.
The permanent organization was not
made till Friday the third day of the
session. Politics entered somewhat into
the contest andno party had working ma.
jority in that body. On the second day
there were seven ballots for President
without choice, the leading candidates
being Levi B. Villas, Carlos Coolidge,
Luther B. Hunt and Thomas Bartlett.
Jr. Mr.. Villas, democrat, started with
101 votes, declined to 80 on the 9th bal.
lot, and then withdrew his name. Mr..
Coolidge had 81, Hunt 20, and several
scattering. During this day the conven-
tion ordered and the chair pro tenn an.
pointed a committee on elections.
On Friday the convention made choice
of Mr.. Bartlett for President, on the
18th ballot by vote of 100 for him to
36 for Coolidge, Sc for Hunt and some
scattering.
Lucius II. Noyes was then elected
Secretary unanimously, and Hon. Henry
Z. Stoughton, then of Chester, was elect
ed Assistant Secretary having 1ls votes
to w for Stephen Smith of Weston. and
3 scattering. The convention then took
up the proposed articles of amendment
which were mainly discussed in commit
tee of the whole. The session voted to
adjourn Monday Jan. 16, but got through
with their business on the Friday nre.
vious and went home on Saturday draw
ing their pay up to and including Mon
day.
The convention of 1857 consisted of
so delegates chosen by counties accord
ing to population instead of by towns.

the election of Hon. Loyal c. Kellogg

If We remember correctly these elections
were made without opposition. The
Council of Censors which called this

senator Morrill, on the Tariff.
We gave brief of Senator Morrill,
speech on the tariff, some two week
since. The following is the conclusion
of his speech
"Shall we not, from the consideration
presented, and from a proper regard 70
the present position of the American
people. all agree to the following propo
sitions
LIST. That it is expedient TO rely main
ly on duties upon the importations o
foreign merchandise for revenue to sup
port the general government
I'd. That in levying these duties sucl
reasonable protection should in all case
be given as will favor the consumption
of homemade and homegrown pro
duets
Sd. That such articles as are usually
grouped among the necessaries of lie
and such raw materials as we do moi
produce, should bear the least amount
of taxation in any form !?
4th. That having to some extent Great.
ed for agricultural products a home
market, it ought not to be surrendered
and made free to foreign rivals, near OF
remote, who have never contributed to
the support of such a market?
5. That American manufacturers
ought not to be forced by free trade to
demand such terms of workingmen as
many of the latter came to our country
only to escape from
Finally, the Republican party has
the destinies of the American people in
its hands, and it should not subordinate
them to the mastery of every other coun-
try filled with cheaper capital and cheaper
labor. Labor here is not only honora-
BILE, but here obtains its highest rewards !;
and it should be our mission to perpet-
uate this national distinction. The mar
vellous accession of force added to the
productive power of nations by machin-
cry and the archimedean leverage of the
mechanic arts, must not be wholly aban-
doned to our rivals. The aptitude of
our people for all the useful arts; their
inventive genius, as displayed in thepast
and so full of promise for the future =
the vast theatre wherein they are called
to operate and find scope, deserves some
thing more than the cold disregard and
the heartless indifference of free trade.
The recently emancipated population of
the South should be furnished with
grander opportunities than it has hither-
to had, both of profit and culture, by
which its best examples of intelligence
may hope to rise above the universal
level Of the old cotton plantations. Let
the energies of our whole people be put
in motion, by making industry and en-
terprise prosperous in all directions-of
the plough, the loom and the anvil-and
thus give assurance at home and abroad
that the year of our deliverance is not
remote, when all debts, public and pri-
vate, will have been honorably discharg-
ed, and when to be an American will be
to be citizen of the happiest, freest
and foremost nation of the world"
