pleasure to be able to impart information to our
readers, that may be Of benefit to them We,
therefore, very confidently recommend to those
of them who may visit Richmond to call on the
Messrs. Levy, 1913 and 1913 Main street, where
they can get anything they may call for in the
dry goods line at least Is per cent lower than at
any other house in the city. They are prompt,
accommodating business men. and know the ad
vantage of the old motto, ''short profits and quick
sales" We do not want people always to take
our word. In this instance, it is particularly 50;
but we desire them to test the verify OF what we
recommend, by going to Levy Bros, and exam
inc for themselves. That is the best test.

TIE Rev. Father Francis NintOn,
DID. of New York, whose chief dis
tinction consists in being ga learned
theologian and the beloved pastor Of
a stylish New York congregation,
who worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience and a
very elaborate ritual" has put a new
feather In his cap by writing a letter
to President Grant, in which he adj
vocates the San Domingo pet project
Of his ExceIlency. An amusing part
of the matter is that Grant was silly
enough to have it published. The
reverend letter writer got as near San
Domingo as the qUays of Nassau, and
therefore must know all about the
matter, and he was particularly smart
in communicating his information to
the owners Of certain San Domingo
lots. When he ventured to say that
Governor Walker, an officer of the
British Government at Nassau, was
in favor Of the annexation scheme, he
opened some sacrilegiOUs mouths with
wonder; but it was impossible they
should swallow the first story. We
suppose they lacked faith. But this
is all owing to the peculiar ~degeneracy
and total depravity of these latter

BUFFERS bill to prevent and pun
ish Outrages on loyal citizens at the
South, and to provide for taking and
preserving evidence to support the
claims Of such citizens for property
taken during the war by the army, is
another big cOnsOlidationist job. It
calls for $50 officials, OF one for every
county in twelve States, besides one
for each city Of more than 10000 in
habitants. The bill provides that the
officers shall be paid only by fees, and
furnishes a consequent -inducement to
create business as much as possible.
They viii, Of course, encourage the
presentation of claims against the
United States by favoring the
proof and collection Of them; and
then they viii arrest as many as pos
sible on suspicion Of being OF favOring

trial before the United States courts.
If Judges EmmOns and Trigg cannot
try the Fourteenth Amendment cases
now, because Of their multitude, how
will the case stand then? VIII not
these nine hundred and fifty officials
manage to make criminal business
enough to last their courts ten or
twenty years to come, to the eXclu-
sion Of all civil causes? Perhaps
withal it viii be best to create nine
hundred and fifty more Circuit and
District United States Judges, and
take criminal Jurisdiction from the
State courts altogether. This is an
ohce-holding country, and the first
duty Of the Government is to provide
Offices enough for the men who must
be provided foT and are to fill them.

APROPOsTTION is before the Legis-
lature Of New York to establish an
Examining Board, for examining and
licensing clerks employed by drug
gists Of New York city. Deaths and
injury from ingorsuce and carelessness
in prescriptive and other druggists'
clerks, has stirred up a public senti-
ment to demand legislation, just as
steamboat disasters have done. But
after the legislation, the disasters
have increased rather than di-
minished. What reason have we
TO expect anything better as to
the regulation Of druggists than
by the regulation Of boatmen ?

NORTH CAROLINA.
A Deliberate Conspiracy by this Acting
Governor and Judges to Defeat the
VIII Of the People.

The Legislature of North Carolina
has passed an act providing for the
election on the 18th of April of dele
gates to a convention to amend the
Constitution of that State. The act
requires that the Governor shall issue
his proclamation commanding the
sherif5 Of the several counties in the
State to hold the election on the day
designated. But the acting Governor
refuses to do so, and has notified the
Legislature of his determination, and
bases his course upon the ground that
he thinks the act requiring him to
issue the proclamation is in contra
ventiOn of the Constitution. The
acting Governor claims that he is
sustained by a letter written to him
by Chief Justice Pearson, in which he
expresses the opinion that the act is
not sanctioned by the Constitution,
and he says he is sustained
in this view by Judges Rod
man, Dick and Settle. The
Raleigh Sentinel denOUnces this
conduct on the part Of the acting
Governor and these Judges as without
authority of law and without any
precedent to sustain it. 1t is remark
able that when the Constitution of
the State, by its express letter, makes
the AttOrney-Genera the Governors
constitutional adviser, that he should
entirely ignore that officer in seeking
to learn what course he should pursue
in regard to the convention law. The
Sentinel explains it on the ground that
it was well know that the Attorney
General would give an opinion that
the act is in all respects valid. The
whole thing looks, as the Sentinel
charges, like a deliberate conspiracy,
entered into by the Acting Governor,
and the Judges, to ignore the COnsti-
tuition and laws of the State, and to
defeat the will of the people. The
Sentinel says: cit is not our purpose
to-day to discuss the validity Of the
act authorizing the people to call a
convention, but we put this view of
the matter: There is a large majority
of the Legislature who have said the
act is valid, and this majority en-
braces several learned lawyers, dis
tinguished alike for their learn
ing, integrity, and patriotism; it
also embraces many non profess
siOnal men of large intelligence aud
observation as we'll as sound iudg-
ment. Their view is sustained by
the disinterested official opinion of
the Attorney General of the State,
who is cOnfessedly honest, learned
and patriotic. The opinion is sus-
tanned, we venture to say, by that of
nine-tenths of the ablest lawyers of
the State, as well as by the plain COM
mon sense and reasonable view Of the
Constitution. Then this view of the
matter is opposed by Governor Cald-
well, who is no sort Of a lawyer, a
very commonplace sort Of a man, by
the eXtra-judicial and unofficial opin-
Of Judge Pearson, in whom no
one man has confidence, and Judges |
ROdman, Dick and Settle, who all

there be any doubt in the mind Of

.ty and opinion as thus presented2"

THATthe Arlington propertyshOuld
be bought and paid for by the Gov
eminent, or surrendered to its own
ers, is a matter Of plain right. The
people of the United States cannot
afford to turn robbers, or to sanction
the Government which turns rObber
in their name. On this subject the
Republican Cincinnati Gazette well
says:
The American nation is not so Door
that it cannot buy ground for a burial
place for its soldiers, nor 50 reckless
that il viii leave the title TO the
ground where thousands Of its brave
defenders lie buried d~isputable; nor
so mean that it viii trust TO the ghosts
Of the soldiers TO keep possession Of
their graves by soaring away the
rightful owners of the land; nor 50
petty in its ideas Of justice that, out Of
all the South, it viii select one estate
and lay its strong hand upon it as a
punishment for the war; nor so
undignifed that il viii attempt
10 hold a cemetery for its
dead defenders by a tax title,
acquired while it held possession Of
the property by force Of arms. II we
are 10 have ~cOnfscatiOn, let il be done
with dignity and some show Of Justice;
but let US not 90 by crooked ways to
compass a singlee estate, and plead the
deserts Of all to cover il. It Is evident,
by the appeals to feeling, that the
Government has no valid title to the
Arlington property. The title can be
had by the direct process Of purchase.
They who neglect the proper means
10 secure the title TO the graves Of the
soldiers are they who expose them TO /
violation. Let US have the burial
place made secure by means suitable
to us use and TO the national dignity
and iusticp.
