TIE ABLE and unanswerable opinion OF
B. F. MOORE, Esq, in favor of the constl-
tutionality of the Convention Act, Is Justly
attracting general commentator and en-
dorsement. We have not doubt II IL
were submitted for signature to the Bar
of North Carolina. but that 1t would re-
ceive the concurrence of n1ne-tenths OF
the profession. Mr.. MooRR's argument,
independently of its logical force and per
epicuous statement, has the merit OF being
entirely disinterested. Pearson. Rcdman'
Dick & Co., after having previously re
fused to give an opinion on question
which might subsequently be brought
legitimateIy before them, volunteered q
dictuns on the Convention Bill, because
they smeit danger to their "breed and
butter" It was graceless and meEcenary
proceeding, and is, in itself, strong
reason why a Convention is desirable. AS
a cheap means of purifying the judicial
character of the State, if for no other con-
sideration, it should be had.

The New Hampshire MIDDLE.

The Legislature of New Hampshire, which
meets tomorrow, will find itself confront
ed with various delicate questions, which
now engage the thoughts Of both parties.
The Governor and Railroad Commissioner
are to be elected by the Legislature, and
its complexion depends upon the turn a
few votes may take. The House of Repre-
ssntatives is composed of 329 members,
divided as follows 164 Democrats and
Labor Reformer s, and 161 Radicals, leav-
ing classified as Conservative Republi-
cans, elected by Democrats, 2 of whom are
expected to vote with the Democrats for
Governor and Speaker.
The Senate is more "mixed." At the
last election the Democrats elected six, and
the Radicals five of the twelve Senators.
Since then one of the Democrats has died,
leaving the Senate tie, with that and an
other vacancy in the First District to be
filled by the Legislature.
The Radicals contend, under technical
construction of the Constitution, that
either of the two opponents of the dead
Senator must be chosen to that vacancy,
although one of them only received four
votes in the entire poll. The Democrats,
on the ether hand, claim that any person
in the district is eligible. The interpreta-
tion OF few words is to decide this inter
esting question. and for once the Radicals
are strict constructionists to the finest
point of letter.
AS the Senate starts with tie, if the
two Conservative Republicans join the
Democrats, as appears to be indicated,
they will have majority of three, and
elect Mr.. Weston their Governor, fill the
vacancy in the First Senatorial District,
and refer the other, which is III dispute, 10
proper committee to determine the legal
question. Thus it will be seen that the
polsical organization of the State govern
ment rests upon the fidelity of two Repub-
lican votes, to their promises, which is not
altogether the safest of reliances.
