NORTH CAROLINA.

An election takes place in North Caro-
lima to-day, the result of which will be
looked for with good deal OF interest.
Since the democrats succeeded in obtain
ing the control of that State, they have
occupied themselves with scheme to Sc
cure their iascendency in the future, and
overthrow the work of reconstruction in
the State. The vote to-day will be upon
the election of delegates to a constitutional
convention. This election was called by
the present legislature, which is democrat
ic. But according to the present censtitu-
ton, which was adopted in 1868, that in
strument cannot be changed untlten years
after its adoption. BY its own terms it
cannot therefore be legally changed until
1875 The act also which provided for
holding the convention passed by a bare
majority, whereas it should have received
a two-thirds vote to make it legal. Thus
against the express provision of the constr
tuition that it shall not be changed until
the expiration of ten years, and without
the convention, the election for delegates
is being held to-day. The Governor and
Supreme Court have decided the measure
to be unconstitutional, but no attention is
paid to their opinions. -
The avowed object of the democrats is
to reinstate the former Judiciary system,
abolish the town system and restore that
of the counties, and make a compromise of
the State debt. The real object however
is the change of the judiciary, which will
enable them to overthrow the Court as at
present constituted, and fill their places
with men favorable to the Ku-Klux and the
notification of the reconstruction measures
adopted. Could they succeed in ac-
complishing their aim the blacks would be
practically returned to slavery, the demo-
Gratis would rule as before the war, and
republican government would be at an end
in the State. 1t is bold project, worthy
of rebels against the general government
and men who were born and bred to be-
lieye that black man is only fit for slavery
and should have no civil or political rights.
Although the republicans hold the elec-
ton of delegates and convention to
change the constitution Illegal, they have
made an active canvass and will do their
utmost to vote the scheme down at the
polls as the easiest and most effective way
to get rid of it. Should they fail in defeat
ing it in the election and the constitution
be changed, the interposition of the nation
al government will be demanded, and q
serious difficulty may arise. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the republicans may
be successful in the election, but of this
there can be no certainty in a State where
Ku-Kluxism prevails. The negroes are
kept in such u state of fear that they will
probably make poor show at the polls,
and even the Union white men will hardly
cast their whole strength in many localities.

GROEsRECK,s SPEECH.

The speech of Judge Groesbeck,
transmitted by telegraph, the last
part Of which we print to-day, will
appear in full in the WEEKLY AP-
PEAL. The argument will be studied
with interest by thoughtful citizens.
It is needless TO say that we do not
concur in all the conclusions of the
distinguished jurist. To a great ex-
tent, Judge Black, perhaps the pro-
foundest of American thinkers, Alex
ander Stephens and others of equal
eminence are misconceived. They
only assert that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments are political
acts subject to repeal or alteration
through peaceful constitutional ma
chinery. No revolution and no i'm
possibility is contemplated. But this
question, j1st now, is subordinate to
Others Of infinitely higher present
imports, and to these we would ad-
vert, since they concern the present
wel-being of the people and Of
the rgovernment. Judge GrOesbeck
goes over the bridge built by Vallsn-
digham, that a party might move to
Chase, a mountain to Mahomet, and
there he and Chase stand, side by
side, with their hats of, to greet the
Israel Of Democracy. We are not
sure that they have not gone forward
too rapidly. States have spoken and
Pennsylvania and Ohio will soon be

opinion. 1t is thought that Belmont
is anxious to have COnnolly's posi-

and his house in Hamburg are largely
interested In city and county bonds,
and he believes that his acceptance OF

the city credit.
William Cassidy, editor of the AL

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
A Torpedo Factory in New York Blown Up-.-
Six Persons Killed and Eight
Wounded

New YORK, September 14.-An ex-
plOsiOn occurred shortly before two
O'Clock this afternoon, in the Union
Torpedo Works, near Fulton Market,
killing six persons instantly and
wOunding eight or more.
Two persons, Henry Brown and
. Burke, driver Of truck, were in
staptly killed by the Beekman street
explosion to-day, and eight others are
in Centre Street Hospital, three of
whom-Michael Goldschmit, Henry
Richart and Mary Jane Burr, residing
the scene-wiH probably die.
A Beekman street car was passing at
the time, and two horses were almost
blown to pieces. 1t is not known
whether any one else was injured.
Nearly all the adjacent and opposite
buildings were seriously damaged by
the explosion, and the loss Of prop
erty will be considerable.

CONFEDERATION.
Over 100000 Worth Of Property De-
strOyed in Saratoga, including
Several Hotels.

SARATOGA, September 1.-TWO
very disastrous fires occurred here
this morning, at about two o'clock,
destroying the Park Place Hotel, Co.
lumbian Hotel and a large part of the
Crescent. From Grand Union, on
Broadway, to the Clarendon, but two
buildings are left standing : the
noTth-east.cOrner of Crescent and Mr..
Harvey p. Halls brick house, with a
few feet of the south end of the Co
lumbian. Nearly the whole block
was swept away. All of the oecu.
pants of the several hotels escaped un-
hurt, but the inmates of the Park
Place Hotel, where the fire first Origi.
mated, lost most of their personal
effects. Some fOrty-five or fifty serv-
ants lost all of their personal effects.
The following are the principal suf-
erers:
@. R. Brown, jeweller and proprie
tor of the Park Place Hotel; Doctor
Bendartha, Jas. MiDgay; Dufield,
Miller & Co.; TayIor's New York
Store, Madame GrandOt, ladies' fur
nishiug goods: Park Place Saloon, ].
L. Knapp; Colonel Stein, lessee Park
Place Hotel; j. W. Waugh, lessee
of the Columbian and DR.. Hamilton
of the Crescent House. The entire
loss will probably reach S2O0, 200.
There seems 70 he some reason for
q suspicion that the fire was the work
of an ineeBdiaPy, as almost stimuli
taneOusly with the discovery of flames
in the Park Hotel, fire broke out just
east of Broadway, on Hamilton alley,
in thick cluster of wooden build
ings, destroying one dwelling and
half dozen barns and a tannery. The
evidences of incendiarism are ample,
bnt there is no clue to the perpetrator.
There is much excitement aud indig-
nation among the citizens generally.

even with the additional courts the
Government win probably be obliged
to release 1850 prisoners without
trial, as it is impossible to sentence
more than 100 per month.
The Associated employers Of New
castle, England, inform the public
that 4116 workInen are now engaged
daily, andHthat constant additions to
the force will soon restore its former
activity to the town.
Mrs. Connolly, the wife OF Richard
B. Connolly, OF the Tweed-Hsll ring,
holds in her own right, it is said,
three and a half millions in United
States bonds. It's q comfortable
thing to get fat Office in New York.
The Emperor expresses his desire
for the settlement of the statutes of
Bohemia, and declares that he is will
ing to recognize her rights by public
coronation, and taking the oath at
Prague, and by eOnsenting to the new
electoral and national bills.
A fire at Saratoga yesterday de-
str0yed property to the amount of
nearly $20O, 900. The Park Place HO-
tel, the Columbian Hotel and a large
part of the Crescent were destroyed,
together with many other buildings.
Incendiarism is believed TO have been
the cause.
All cultivated people have a prop
erty in, and consequently sympathy
with, eminent men of letters. There
fore, the recent death of Mr.. BulWer
Lytton's (OWen Meredith's) only son
was lamented by thousands who have
no sort of pOetical acquaintance with
his family.
1t is said that coalition has been
formed between Prussia and Austria
and one between France and Russia.
This prognoetieates lively times in the
future. Italy was invited to join the
Austria German alliance, but refused,
for which she is now threatened with
the loss of her Lombardy Venetian
provinces.

irg at salisbury beach to-day was
attended by $4,000 people. General
Butler, Wendell Phillips, Mayor
Kelly, OF Newburyport, Dan. Perkins,
Mayor Wilton, Captain F. d. Bur
than delivered speeches. Buffers
speech was the presentation OF the
arguments he had heretofore ad-
vanced. Wendell Phillips, who fol-
lowed him, said that OF all the men
Massachusetts, had hOnored within the
past fifty years, none could compare
in craftsmanship with Butler; that no
name will stand higher than his in
the history of the present date. He
presented the great questions of the
day, napely: Capital against legisla
ton. Phillips, like Butler, did not
answer the newspapers, but obeyed
the Injunction, ''never answer a fool
fool according to his folly"

the former may be able to maintain
IFS position.
In conclusion, be said that he en-
tirely approved the action Of the re-
cent Democratic State Convention in
regard to the recent amendments
to the Constitution, and he took
hope from il that the time was near
when their banners of old should
again I'LL the air, and their ears be
gladdened with the music and shout
ings Of great victories.
After briefly reeapitulating his
views with reference to the main
questions involved in the discussion,
be said an eventfuI epoch Of our ma
tional life had just closed, full Of in
terest, but ending in violence. We
stood now at the portals of q new one.
Laying of all jealousies, prejudices
and animOsities, let US, said he, enter
it in the spirit OF kindness, of good
will for all sections Of the country and
all our people, and with the noble pur-
pose to make it illustrious as an epoch
Of prosperity and pesee.
