a son of the late Alfred L. Price, was acci-
dentally drowned yesterday evening, about
dark, in the river opposite this city. 1t
seems that, in company with three other
boys, sailing party had been arranged,
and the lads succeeded in borrowing a
boat from vessel lying at one of the
wharves. One of the party wishing to land
at Beery's ship yard, he was put out on a
vessel lying there, and in attempting to
shove the boat off again, Joseph Price fell
into the water, and was drowned. He
was unable to swim and the boys
did all they could to save him, but without
avail. The body has not yet been recover
ed, but efforts were made to that end last
night, and will be continued to-day.
The deceased was fine, promising lad.
and the news of the sad occurrence has
already spread over the city, carrying dis
tress everywhere. 1t falls with a most
terrible force at his home where but
lately death had carried off the beloved
head and father of the family. To the
bereaved ones we tender the sympathy Of
the entire community in this their terrible
af1iction.

We have just read with much pride and
qualification, the able and manly speech
of Hon. j. NJ. LEACH, delivered in
the House of Representatives on the 18th
instant, entitled "ShaH Constitutional
Liberty be Supplanted by a Centralized
Despotism." 1t is a bold, eloquent and
able defence of his State, and significant
warning to the people of the North against
the dangers which environ Constitutional
Liberty.
We are glad that our Southern represen-
tatives, especially those from North Caro-
lima, are beginning to speak out bodily and
fearlessly In behalf of their down trodden
people. This speech is a noble companion
20 that of Hon. A. 81. WADDELL, and we
are glad to learn that both have been re-
ceived with great eclat in Washington
These speeches do credit to the State, and
viii give these Representatives a command
ing position in the House.
In day or two we shall publish Mr..
LEACU's speech in full, and shall call for it
the special attention ofour readers.
North Carolina may well be proud of
such sons.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
OFFICE SUP'T PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
RALEIGH, April Is, 1872.
To Teachers Of Pubi5c and Pirate Schools
in North c. trOlind:
l beg leave most respectfully to call your
attention to the provisions made for Nor
NAL Instruction by the revised School
Law.
If twenty or more Teachers shall organ
ize an Association, and hold a Teachers
Institute of four weeks, under efficient and
competent Instruction, at any time during
the year, and report to the SuperintendeAat
of Public Instruction, the Association Wiz
receive fifty dollars from the State Sen pol
fund, and fifty dollars from the Peabody
Educational fund. The Teachers of Pub
lie and Private Schools are thus appealed
to by the State and by the generous offer
of DR.. Sears, the general agent Of the Pea
body Educational fund, to DO something
for their profession.
Teaching is progressive science. The
best teachers may be benefited by an Occa-
sional contact with the thoughts and modes
of others. But there is a much higher ad-
vantage to be sought than individual i'm
provement. There is wanting in the State
an organized body Of men, charged with
the duty Of developing in the public mind
I! proper SSGlIIldCC VI II1C ftluC tIIO u tlC
theory Of popular education. If the teach
ers in the State we're organized into active,
working Associations, united by a common
interest, moved by a common purpose, and
aiming at a common end, the condition OF
the State would be changed. rs soon as
the public mind accepts the truth, which
must be accepted sooner or later, that Free
Public Schools are better than Private
SchoolS-better for parents, for children,
for teachers and for the State-school
houses will be found III every neighbor-
hood teaching viii become an indepen-
dent and honored profession; intelligence
industry and thrift will take the place OF
ignorance, pauperism and crime; and new
life and energy will be dif'used through
every public and private interest. The
teachers of the State have it in their power
now to render public service and at the
same time to I" be a help and ornament
unto their profession"
Very respectfully, -

WASHINGTON, April 25.
There have been some developments
made here within day or two Of political
movements which are calculated to disturb
the harmony of the Cincinnati Convention.
Some of the friends of Mr.. Trumbull,
backed by the Chicago Tribune influence,
now openly delare that if Justice Davis is
nominated for President, they will refuse
to support him. They do not go quite so
far as to make the nomination of Mr.. Truln-
bull an ultimatum, but that is quite appa-
rent. The latter's attendance in the radical
caucus last night excites supicion. The DEM
ocrats, on the other hand, are quite unani-
nous in Congress against the nomination
of Charles Francis Adams, which, it is
said, is proposed by Mr.. Belmont Oh behalf
of some of the New York democracy, and
endorsed by the New Y York World. They
say that if Adams is nominated tbs
National Convention of the democracy viii
nominate straight ticket and ignofe the
Cincinnati nominees. There seems to be
more unaninity among the democrats in
Congress in favor of Davis and Curtin
than any other ticket, though not o few
favor Davis and Parker, or some democrat
for the Vice-Presidency. The friends of
Gov. Curtin have full assurances from him
in Europe that he is in harmony with the
liberal movement, and viii be in this
country the middle of May.

But am so unlucky as to value that indie
penoence more highly than the elevation
which is bought by sacrifice of it. This
is not inconsistent with sense of grateful
recognition of the very fattering estimates
made of my services in many and high
quarters but cannot consent to peddle
with them for power. If the good people
who meet at Cincinnati really believe that
they need such an anomalous being as /
am, (Which 1 do not,) they must express it
in a manner to convince me Of it, or all
their labor will be thrown away.

mittees of arrangements for the Liberal
Republican Convention, it was announced
that most of sthe arrangements had been
satisfactorily completed |; that all the hotels
in the city had agreed to entertain as many
guests as their houses would hold, and
without any deviation from the regular
prices, and that large number of board
ing houses had also signified their willing
ness to accommodate guests, and the pros
poets were that there would be plenty of
room for all. Some of the minor arrange
ments had been deferred until the commit
tees could confer with Governor Grosvener,
Of Missouri, who would reach Cincinnati

The announcement that Governor Pal
mer would address the people upon the
political issues Of the day, drew large
crowd of citizens together at the Represen-
tative Hall in the State House this evening.
They consisted of all classes of citizens and
all shades of politics, with a fair gathering
of ladies. The Governor defined his po-
litical position, and explained at length
why he had determined not to support
Grant. He said that the questions
that had formerly united the Republican
party were obsolete, and that the time had
come to break party ties. He reviewed
his official career at length, and plainly in
tinated that he never held an office by
which his bank account was much in
creased.
In conclusion, he said that there will be
two n National Republican Conventions one
at Philadelphia and one at Cincinnati.
The one at Philadelphia is known as a
stocked concern, and that it is fixed that
there Grant will be the nominee. The
Governor said he had served his country
long enough to be free man, and he
wanted it to be distinctly understood that
he intended to vote for whom he pleased,
and was not bound to any man or party.
He then again referred to the Philadel-
phia Convention, and said there was no
use of the regular Republicans going there
to nominate 4 President that was fixed.
But there was Vice President to nomi-
late, and he supposed they would have to
go there to do that. He then closed by
inviting the people to go with him to the
Cincinnati Convention, and there noni-
nate ticket upon which all the people,
Democrats aud Republicans, could unite.

CHARLEsF RANCIS ADAMS AND THE GIN
CINNATI CONVENTION.
As arranged, many weeks ago, Mr..
Adams sailed on his return to Europe yes
terday. with his wife, in order to be ready
for the meeting of the Geneva Board of
Arbitration. Before he left, a gentleman
interested in the Cincinnati Convention
and desiring that he should become its
candidate, wrote 10 him requesting his
views Of the movement which it represents,
and suggested that there be some one in
attendance who could speak tor him.
To this letter there was received the fol-
lowing reply, with no restrictions as to its
Publicity:
DosToN, April is, 1872.
M Dear Mr. Wells:
| haye received your letter and will an
swer it frankly. do not want the noni-
nation, and could only be induced to con-
slider it by the circumstances under which
it might possibly be made. If the call
upon IIlc NeT6 du liLcPltINOCdI OHt, DoSCu
upon confidence in my character earned
in public life, and a belief that 1 would
carry out in practice the principles which 1
professed, then, indeed, would come test
of my courage in the emergency. But if /
am to be negotiated for and have assu-
RANGES given that am honest, you will be
so kind as to draw out of that crowd. With
regard to what l understand to be the
declaration of principles which has be n
made, it would be ridiculous in me to stand
hagglinc over them. With the single ex-
cas'tion of amhi2nity, see nothing which
honest r. lean or Democrat would
'cept. I.4eed, I should wonder at
one who denied them. The difficulty
40 iAot in professions. It lies everywhere
only in the manner in which they are car
ried into practice. 80. Z.
If I have succeeded in making myself
understood you viii perceive that can give
no authority to any one to act or speak for
me in the premises. I never had mo-
ment's belief that w hen it came to the point,
any one so entirely isolated from any polit-
zeal associations of any kind could be made
acceptable as a candidate for public olsse.
