We publish this morning the address OF
the Conservative members OF the Legisla-
ture to the people of North Carolina with
out comment, but with our hearty en-.
dolsement. In the absence Of a Conven.
ton, and in our opinion there Ia no neces
sity for the assemblage of such & COnven-
ton, this address must necessarily form
the ground work for the issues of the com
ing canvass No honest man in North
Carolina, without regard to former politi
cal sympathies, who really desires to rid
his State of the thieves who have been fat
tening upon her resources, can refuse to
give q hearty endorsement to this address.
Honest, manly and candid, it appeals to
every man in the State. By it we must
conquer or by it we must fall Emanating
from those men who have met Radicalism
in ell it's diabolical phases and exposed its
glaring rascalities to the gaze Of the pub
lie, it will be received with favor by the
honest people of the State, and will be ac-
cepted by them as the rallying point Of
the coming canvass. 1t inaugurates the
issues of the campaign. Deceucy and hon
esty against bawdry and corruption will
mark the dividing line between the parties
in this State, and our people must prepare
to meet and ABIDE by the issue.

The LEGISLATURE.

On Saturday both Houses we're engaged
in clearing away the numberless bills
which encumbered their calendars, most OF
them of a local and unimportant character
In the Senate the bills authorizing the
Wilmington, Charlotte and rutherford
Railroad to construct a Branch Road IN
the direction of the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railroad, and to incorporate the
Onslow Branch of the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad passed their third read
ing. Mr.. Sweet, in behalf Of the Senate,
presented Messrs. Byrnes and Harris,
Clerks of the Senate, each with beautiful
gold pencil and pen, as mark of their
appreciation of the manner in which they
have discharged their duties.
In the House the bill relieving Home
Insurance Companies from depositing
Bonds with the Treasurer passed its several
readings. The bill to exempt members of
organized fire companies in the city OF
Wilmington from coroners and jury duty
passed.
Leary, colored, in behalf Of the members
of the House, presented gold medal to
John 81. Boner Chief Clerk.

Pc rSOE al,

We are glad TO welcome III our city Cap
tain THOMAS J. JARVIS, Of Tyrell, who has
endeared himself to the people of North
Carolina by his course as a member of the
Legislature during the session just closed.
We have been an attentive reader of Cap
tain JARVIS record as a member of the
Convention of 1SG5-'6G of his canvass as
an Elector upon the Seymour and Blair
ticket, and as Il member of the House of
Representatives during the eventful SEES
sion which has just closed and We gladly
endorse MIN in every capacity III which he
has been called upon to represent the peo-
pie of North Carolina.
We have noticed with pleasure the grad
ually increasing influence Of the Conserva-
tive members Of the Legislature during the
progress of the session. Beginning their
Legislative, course, Insignificant in mum bers
and influence, by their abilities, and iudg-
ment, and honesty, and devotion to the
best interest Of North Carolina, the Con-
servatives OF the Legislature have made
such an impression upon the more recent
legislation of that body as to reflect some
some hope for the future. In this reform
movement no name is more cons picuously or
more honorably connected than Capt JAR
yIs. He has identified himself inseparably
as one of the leaders of the reaction which
is now setting against RadicaIiSm in North
Carolina.
We are also pleased to meet Captain d.
2. HIGH, the young and talented repre-
sentative OF the sterling people of Column
bus. Captain HIGH has been initiated in
to public life at an eventual period in the
history of his State, aud we can pass no
higher compliment upon him than to say
that he has been true to her interest ia
every position in which lie has been placed.
True to his county and to North Carolina,
he may well be proud OF his services in
their behalf.
Such representatives find q warm well
come in our hearts, aud we but echo the
sympathies OF the great heart CT the peo-
pie of North Carolina

DIR. c. IT. Murphy.

We were glad to see DIR. G. T. MURPHY
one of the Senators from the Sampson
District, in our sanctun on yesterday. He
returns to his constituents after the labors
of the session with the universal greeting
Of "Well done good and faithful servant.
DIR. MURPHY has been an honest, Jealous
and laborious member of the Legislature,
and can render an account of his steward
ship, and none dare TO whisper aught oil
suspicion against his record. He devoted
himself to the interests of his constituents
and of the people of North Carolina, and
manfully fought the combinations OF
thieves and plunderers who conspired
against the State. He deserves we'll of his
fellow-citizens

The Legislature.

The closing scenes of the Legislature
were attended only by the usual resolu-
tions of thanks to the presiding officers
and clerks and the passage of few unim-
portant local bills. The people of North
Carolina will heartily rejoice at the final
dissolution of o body distinguished only
for reckless extravaganza, dishonesty, cor
ruption and utter want of craftsmanship.
We suppose it is without parallel in the
political history of this country the most
depraved, selfish and incompetent body
which ever assembled in the capacity of a
Legislature. Under its baneful enactments
| the prosperity of the State and its good
name have been sacrificed. That they have
not been entirely destroyed is due to the
confidence felt in the integrity and charac-
ter of the true people of the State and to
tho energies and abilities of the small band
of Conservative members who have labOred
with unabated zeal and patriotic discre
! ton for the welfare Of the State and have
left some impression upon the action OF
the body. To them the people of the
State owe debt of gratitude, one which
they will in due time take great pleasure
in repaying.
! We do heartily congratulate the people
of North Carolina upon the final adjourn
ment of the Legislature. Its members go
before their constituents to be tried before
the great tribunal of the people for judg-
ment. We are anxious to make the issue
with them and shall be prepared to urge
their condemnation upon the record they
have made. Believing that the material
salvation of the State depends upon the
defeat of the party responsible for all the
evils which now press upon US, we shall
enter the coming campaign with spirit
with eagerness and with confidence IN the
result.
