NORTH CARGE.aNA AND II II L
CHATTANOOGA CONVENTION.

One Southern State, and one only
we believe, escaped the tongue of
SANDER at the Chattanooga Conven-
ton, and we are glad to know that it
was our own, North Carolina, that was
SO fortunate. 'Outrages" were called
for, in the language of Senator Pow
ell, ''to influence legislation" and
straightway outrages without number
and without precedent or atrocity
were forthcoming until the delegates
from North Carolina were called upon
to vote. According to the account of
the reporter for the New York
Tribune:
The delegates from North Carolina,
when the representatives OF that State
were called upon to vote, said that,
although the State voted i'll the afiir-
native, they knew of no outrages that
had been cOmiaitted N their State
within the last twelve months, and that
the citizens Of that State, no matter
what their politics or what their lace,
were as safe i'll North Carolina as il
Massachusetts. The Convention did
not applaud this announcement. The
old North State is not in the han,.s of
the friends of Grants administration.
The only delegates from North Car
lima, SO TAR as we know, were Mayor
Canaday and Assistant Marshal Price,
colo1ed, of this city. The statement
in regard to the quiet condition Of
North Carolina, was made by the May
or, Price concurring. 1t seems Price
was not SO fortunate, however, in
Georgia, for there, according to his
statement, he escaped with his life
only by the help of his white col
league.
We sincerely trust that our Northern
contemporaries both Democratic and
Radical, will note the fact that in the
face of the assembled Radicals of the
South, both carpet baggers and scala
wags, assembled for the ayowed pur-
pose of reporting outrages "to infu
cree legislation" that no man dared
to say that in North Carolina there
was any more pretext for "legislation"
to suppress ''outrages", than there was
in the intensely loyal State of Massa-
chusetts, the chosen home of Beast
Butler!
If no charge could be mustered
against us at Chattanooga, we think
that our own people may undertake
the task of amending their own Con-
stitution without any fear of Federal
interference.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1874-10-23

six months will be needed for the
amended constitution to be put into
operation. By the Legislative mode
four years must elapse before Legis-
lature can meet in regular session
under the amended Constitution to
give relief to the people.
We are of opinion, therefore, that
the mode of amending the Constitution
by Convention is the only one that will
meet the demands OF our people.
In reply to your third interogatory
we beg leave to say that we think it is
the plain duty of the Conservative
party to require its members in the
Legislature to take prompt action in
callinga Convention. Material changes
in the Constitution ought to be made
and to be made speedily. The Con-
vention offers the cheapest, surest and
speediest way to make these changes.
Believing then, as We do, that it is
sacred duty the Conservative party
owes to itself and the people to offer
them the speediest, cheapest, and most
practicable mode of getting relief
from the many and grievous burdens
growing out Of tie Constitution, we
can conceive OF no sufficient reason
why that party should not require its
members in the Legislature to take
steps at the earliest possible moment,
to call Convention. No mere sagges-
tons of "expediency" can justify us in
failing to perform our plain duty. Nor
can any party long live in the affections
of the reopie that dares not do right.
Ii the Conservative party, having the
power to afford relief to the people,
should refuse to do so this winter,
we shall look forward with dread to
the consequences in the elections in
1876, for we know not what answer
our party viii be able to make when
arraigncd NJ the bar of public opinion
for being afraid Or unwilling to exer-
else the power entrusted to it. We
are confident the People will not sub
nit in silence TO such d course. We
must not forget that the Conservative
party will be held to a strict accounta-
bility for the power the people have
put in its hands by electing two-thirds
of each House OF the General Assem-
bly, from its ranks. We apprehend the
most serious consequences from fail
ure to call a Convention, but we appre-
bend none whatever if the Legislature
shall do its duty and promptly call
che.
Ii the Democratic-C Conservative party
is to be pledged to a policy Of timidity
If it is to win glorious triumphs on
hard fought fields only for the sake of
a few bonfres and illuminations-if it
is to be always afraid Of grasping the
Legitimate and necessary fruits of vic
tory for fear of offending somebody
We may rest assured that it will lose
far more of strength and prestige by
chilling and disheartening ita warmest
supporters than it can possibly gain
by conci.iating its enemies, who are
tle enemies of good government.
There is nothing we have to fear for
our party SO much as a charge from
enthusiasm to indifference
Very respectfully,

The Raleigh Meas classes this gen.
tleman among the opponents of a con-
vention. The error is doubtless due
to one of those accidents that will hap
pen in the best regulated offices, and
to many readers will be at once appar-
emit. We are SO unwilling to lose the
benefit of Mr.. CoNIe1AND's name and
influence in favor of the earliest posi-
BILE call of a convention that we beg
our esteemed cotemporary, the Raleigh
Meas, and tie Salisbury Waterman,
that has fallen into the same error,
will make the proper correction. Mr..
CoN1aLAND is warmly in favor of the
call of convention by the Legislature.

THE ILLINOIS AND TENNESSEE
IMBROGLIO.

The relations between these two
States seem just now not to be quite as
amicable and cordial as it is desirable
should exist between the sister sover-
eighties of this GLORIOUS Union
The difficulty originated somewhat
in this wise One George Smith was
under Indictment in Tennessee for
murder and fled to Illinois where he
was some time aftnrward kidnapped
and carried back to Tennessee. The
attention of Governor Beveridge, OF
Illinois, was called to the matter, and
he demanded from Governor Brown,
of Tennessee, the return of Smith and
the delivery to the Illinois State au-
thorities of the kidnappnrs, r. Ward
and M. s. Williams. Governor Brown
replied that the action of the Tennes-
see officials was without warrant of
law, but hoped thatinasmuch as Smith
was VIGOROUSLY guilty of murder, and
that as there was no Intentional disre-
spect shown to the authorities of his
State, Governor Beveridge would find
it compatible with his sense of duty to
let the matter rest. This Governor
Beveridge is not willing to do, but on
the contrary, renews his demand for
Smith, and for the arrest and delivery
to the Illinois State authorities of the
kidnappers. We hope the two sover-
eigns will not find themselves compell-
ed to resort either to force or the Fed
eral government to settle the matter.
If, however, the murderer Smith is
now in the custody of the Tennessee
officers of the law, we do lot see how
the Governor of that State can get pos
session OF him. The only process for
examining into the legality Of his GUS
tody, that of haJeas corpus, wouldupon
the statement of facts above made, show
that he was properly in custody. How
then could Governor Brown without
doing violence to the law of his own
State, wrest Smith from the custody Of
its officials and deliver him up TO the
Governor of Illinois The case OF the
kidnappers is different. They violated
the law of Illinois, and upon proper
demand from the Governor of that
State, are liable to arrest il Tennessee.
But as Smith is charged with no crime
in Illinois, but is charged with crime
in Tennessee, and is now in the GUS
tody of the proper officials in Tennes-
see. we do not see how his friend Gov
ernor Beveridge can help him.
It is said that themurder with which
Smith is charged, is the killing of a
man who tried to prevent his desertion
from the Confederate army. Whether
this gives any special interest to the
case we are unable to state.

IN THE SOUTId-SPE-
GAL CORRESPONDEN OF'
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE AND

The power of the Southern Out
rage" over the Northern mind has de-
parted and now no longer exists as one
of the political institutions of the day.
This contamination 80 devoutly to be
wished by all lovers of truth and good
government, has been brought about by
the influence of the press, and mainly,
we think, by that of the New York
press. The Herald, the World and the
Tribune have all done their part in the
good work. 1t has, indeed, taken a
long time to make the Northern peo-
pie see MS as we really are, and not as
rascally Radical emisaries and lying
letter writer's would have them see US.
The latest accession. however, to
the ranks of the New York papers
tnit seem DESTROYS of laying the
truth before their readers sperhaps the
most remarkable, being none other
than the New York Times. That
paper, Radical though it be, has now
a special correspondent in the State of
Louisiana who is writing back some
plain and wholesome truths in regard
to the condition of affairs in that un-
fortunate State. What the Herald is
doing generally for the whole South,
and what the Tribune is doing spe-
cially for Alabama, that the Times is
doing for Louisiana.
by the reports of the Tribune cor
respondent the political murders in
Alabama are reduced to two, of which
Billings and Ivey were the victims.

WHAT THE LATE, NOItTHERN
'stss VICTORIES TEACH.

The result of the, late elections in
Ohio and Indiana are. indeed crafty
ing from any standpoint, but we re-
joice mainly, not SO much because the
number of Democratic Representatives
upon the floor of Congress has been
increased, as we do because OF the eVl-
dence We have thereby given to us
that the peoplsof the North no longer
nive credenoe TO the lying statements
circulated among them by Radical
emissariesabout Southern "outrages. "
The time has passed by, in Ohio
and Indiana, at least, when the public
mind can be deceived by Radical lies,
even though put forth under the auspl-
cea ofsso important a parsonage as the
Attorney General of the United States.
It is this truth, now demonstrated be-
yond the possibility of doubt, that
gives the inestimable value to the VIC
tories in Ohio and Indiana. First, we
had the attempt to fire the Northern
heart about the so-called, Trenton
massacre in Tennessee, then we
had the Coushatta massacre IN
Louisiana, then we had the over
throw. of the Kellogg government
in the same State. Then we had Sen
ator Patterson and his budget OF out
rage lies from South Carolina. Then
we had Charles Hays and his budget
of outrage lies from Alabama, and
then we had the Chattanooga Conven-
ton and it's congregation of budgets OF
lies from every Southern State, save
only North Carolina. And what was
the result i? Was the Northern heart
fired? Not at all. On the contrary
we find that instead of being In
famed by these stories of lawlessness
and crime in the South, as it would
have been at any previous election
the Northern heart remained calm and
serene, and responded nobly to the
appeals of the Democratic party to dis
card passion for patriotism.
Verify we have great cause to hope
that we have begun to see the
beginning at least of the end Of all oui
troubles.

ton and would do it at much less cost
The Convention would do its work, and
well and thoroughly, at cost of less
than $50, OOO az wlllappear from simple
calculation. By Legislative enactment
not half the work nor half SO well done
would cost more than twice that
amount at least. And there is another
serious objection to proceeding by
legislative enactment growing out of
the rules of parliamentary law that
govern all legislative bodies. AS hiss
been said, and for the reason already
assigned, every alteration in the Con-
stltution no matter how trivial, must
be the subject Of a separate bill before
two successive Legislatures. They
can not be all put in one bill, so that
the effect of each alteration, individu-
ally, and Of all the alterations collec.
lively, can be seen at glance.
1t is a well known rule of parlia-
mentary law that there can be but one
bill under consideration by the House
at q time. There may be as many as
a hundred bills upon the calendar,
each containing separate alteration.
but each bill must be considered
and perfected by itself and without re-
gard to the other ninety-nine. This
being so, does not every one familiar
with legislative proceedings and par
!iamentary law, see at a glance how
fruitless will be the attempt to render
consistent and harmonious a consti-
tuition that requires to be changed in
so many particulars as does ours /? The
