in ro-affirming the financial plank IN

"Attorney-Gencrai Pierrepont seems
Ia reduce Gov. Amcs' Miss ssippi IN

His advicts are that there are no dis

turbances as exist must be dealt with
by the Governor III the first instance,
and until his power is absolutely ex-
hausted. THIS is good law and com

reference to This class of questions
which we have repeatedly had occa-

In commenting upon the agricul-
tural statistics for Ireland for the year
ending in june last, the ,Nandard
thinks that they can hardly be said to
show satisfactory amount of pro-
gress. The Registrar General reports
that although considerable improve
ment has been effected in the breed
and quality Of every description of
farm stock, there has been no CORES
ponding advance in the cultivation of
the land. Capital appears to be forth
coming for the purchase of higher
class of stock, but there is little dis
position to incur much outlay in scien-
tific farming. It is satisfactory, how
ever, to find, it adds, that there is a
diminution IN the amount of emiora-
ton. The Times, of the same date,
says that every one who knows Ireland
now, and who knew it in times past,
bears witness to the advance of pros
perity, the improved appearance of
the people, and the indications of ease
and comfort which abound.

The Eastern people, seeing that
the Convention is determined to revise
and reform the Constitution Of the
State, are beginning to arouse them
selves t. the Importance Of directing
the attention of that body to III"
wants OF their particular section 1t
is unfortunate That the large negro
counties, which, suffer more under the
r,r,.es-,,t Constitution and T eed reform
mcr.. than AL others, have no delegates
in the Con yci1tion who are IN sympa-
thy with the taxpayers. New Hau-
over, Craven, Edgecombe, Halifax,
NORTHAMPTON, BERTHE, Warren aud
Granville, suffer more than any other
counties IN tie State. In these cOln-
tie4 the viii e people are impotent for
good. The negroes have a decided
minority III every one OF them. AMI
The substantial people are made to
u fer from the ignorance and preJU-
di1ea Of the negroes, who are the
ruling c!;,,s.
70 meet this State OF affairs, the
white people of Craven haze already
held meeting, and they seek the Co
operation Of their friends III the East
20 provide mt ans of laying before the
Convention Just statement OF the
grievances under which they labor,
and ask relief.
4 committee has been appointed to
invite cooperation IN sending dele
gates to Raleigh to meet on the 23d Of
September. A formal invitation has
been extended to New Hanover through
us, AID we earnestly invite attention to
the matter. We know full we'll that
we cannot afford to leave our local in
terests in the hands of those whom the
negroes of the county have elected del
egatcs. Weare vitality interested in
the action of that body. and it be
hooves us not to neglect the invitation
extended to us. Let US cooperate
with our brethren of the East.
In publishing the proceedings of the
Craven meeting the Raleigh Nc,rs
says:
We publish elsewhere the proceed
ings of a meeting held in Newborn
preliminary TO q Convention OF the
people Of the Eastern part Of the
State to be held at Goldsboro at an
early day TO present to the COnstitu
| tiOnui Convention, now i'll session. the
I peculinr grievances and burdens I'M
| der which that section now suffers.
These are grievances that are not
| fictitious and cannot be overlooked.
These are burdens which crush that sec
! ticn to the earth, and which can only
| be lifted by external aid. The vast dis
proportion of an ignorant negro pnpu-
| Iatiou, and the ease with which they
are swayed by unscrupulOns leaders
place the white people ut the mercy OF
| an oppression of which they Of the
! West have no conception.
| but the delegates of the West must
be aware, even if they do not them
selves feel the burden, now jntolera
| BILE it must be. They must also be
aware that the whole State cannot
prosper if one OF is sections IS dis
eased. Not only the sympati1es Of the
! West, but its intelligence, and t!lut Ill
its 5rOadeat range, must be brought 70

Ply crammed with rules aud phrases"
to them useless and unmeaning, but
every effort will be made to develop
the minds of the children by frequent

studies. The Chairman of the School
Committee, Mr.. A. Fl. Morris. informs
us that the school houses have all been
repaired and put IN good order, and
that the schools will open on the first
