On Monday, what may be the most
important body which ever met in
North Carolina, will assemble III Knl-
eigh. When we consider tie dcplora-
bic condition of every business inter
est iii the State when we feel hOwliiy
the Constitution IS adapted to
the wants and necessities of our peo-
pie and when, further, this body may
be our only opportunity OF amending
and reformil g thut Constitution the
present genera ion will probably have.
we may we'll pause, with anxious con-
Germ, III contemplation of the issues at
stake on Monday next.
The firso hours of the Convention
will demon strate its usefulness, or its
uselessuess. It will elNler adjourn
without touching the Constitution, or
it will reform it. We take it Tor grant
el that broad and we'll defined polio '
will mark the organic alton Of the
body. If every member Is present, ns
they ought to be, when the Convention
Is called together on Monday morning,
those VINO favor Constitutional reform
will MAKE known their disposition 10y
their Votes III the organization. The
telegraph will announce on Monday
evening with unarring certainty what
we may expect Shall North Carolina
go forward or retros ade ? ,wlll be de
clded III the very first votes which SHALL
be cast. It will require no delay, nor
useless expenditure Of money, for if
nothing for til future aud permanent
welfare of the State can be accoul-
plished, it will be useless and hurtful
for delegates to waste the public
money i'll wrorg gf IL aud illegal legisla-
ton.
We hope for the best. We believe
that a majority of this Convention is
composed of true sons of the State.

EION. THOMAS =. ASlRE,

The IOui- burg courier says that
with the possible exception Of Mr.
! SHE" our entire congressional delega-
ton took the stump in favor of the
invention during the recent CAM
= agn, and il so saying, does unin.
tcn:ionally, very great injustice tc
tdal gentleman.
We take great pleasure in assur-
ing at the CoT'fcr that Mr.. AsHI
'aot only took the stump, but
that he kept it during the
recent caup paign, speaking in
bahalf of the good cause wherever
opportunity offered. Only the
day before the election he spoke in
Lumberton, in Robson county, and
we well remember the complimentary
terms used in regard to MIR. Ashes
campaign priorto that time and further
mp the country, in ourcorrespondence
from that section.
Mr. AsHE is not the man to falter in
the performance of any duty that his
State or his party demand from him.
The same strong sense. of duty controls
him now that animated him in 1868,
when, a& the request of the State Exc
cutive Committee of the party, he con-
sented to lead folorn hope as our
candidate for Governor, end that too
when others had.declined the perilous
honor. North Carolina has no truer
son than THOMAS S. AsHE.

rssE CHR ISTIaN AND rHETU IA

rssECHI ~ gSTIaN AND Tff r. Tu "a
Our news from the insurrection III
furk-y leads us to believe, now TINT
Turkey aud Herzegovina have both re-
iected outside interventiOn. we may
look for some lively hostilities. 1t Is
not to be supposed that four million
of Mohum medans can play the tyrant
over eleven millions of people belong
lug to different race, aud n different
religion. It may be that the war
Which Is now threatened will prove a
great influence upon the posiness OF
tiis country and it IS we'll that our
| readers should be acquainted with the
progress and influence OF the .mpend-
| ing troubles.
The insurgents passed one advan-
tage in the bankruptcy Of the Ottoman
Empire. According to KKLD BLIND,
Turkey has no security left for a loan,
but the bracelets and bequets of the
! Seralgo.
The New York Times shows that
this effete power us sustained 10y that
puo!ic opinion of Europe which pro-
| tects the holders of Turkish bonds,
and by that ancient superstition which
| teaches European diplomatists that
Constantinople IS the gateway to India.
If il were possible that Serbian of
| ScIavic Empire, extending from the
Adriatc to the Danube, shOnld spring
out of the political chaos i'll Turkey,
European diplomacy would be appall-
ed If, as a consequence of su:h q
change on the map, the remainder of
the Turkish empire should crumble,
as it must do, we should expect that
three or four great powers would in
stautly assume an offensive attitude.
Christian nations maintain MOslem
supremacy in European Turkey. What
with an interest in the bonds of the
moribund State, and fears of the CON
sequences of II division of the dead
mans effects, these nations agree 10
keep the invalid alive. The same pa
per adds: "Nevertheless, the end must
some time come. The new christian
empire south of the Danube may not
now arise. 1t is possible that another
turkish loan may be negotiated. 1t
! is likely that the Sultan will make
terms with tho insurgents; but these
! things must be accomplished by the
AID and actiSa intcrft ft,rence of Chris
tian governments. The money must
! be borrowed in London, Frankfort
and Vienna. England, Russia. G.r-
many and austria will pres, ribv con-
,ht!o,'s Of peace in Herzrguv IA aud
Bosnia, just as they did in Montenegro.
and just as they secured for Scrvin
that quasi Independence which now
excites the envy of neighboriug de-
penlencies of Turkey. Aftcr all, it is
only II shadow which remains of Tnr-
key. Christian nations fight its bat
ties and decide when peace shall be
procl,fmcd. 1t does not much matter
what formal steps Turkey may take
in the troubles of the Christian prey
inccs. The real power felt there does
not reside i'll Constnntiuople "

THE latest news from Keely, the
motor man, is to the effect that his
machine is now under perfect control,
and an engine for railroad purposes is
being constructed. The gange to be
used on the apparatus registers 81, 900
pounds pressure, and a stationary en-
gine will be on exhi hibition in few
weeks i'll Philadelphia. The Philn
delphia Times gays : ''The control of
the patent will not be vested in stock
company. Shares have been sold hy
MIR. keely to parties who advanced
him money to complete his work and
secure the patent right, and the shares
almost Immediately afterward were
disposed of to other parties at great
profit"

FEELING THE RESULTS.

The frequent and repeated failures
all over the North, the defalcation,
suicideor fight of State Treasurers and
Bank officers. tell too plainly of the
"hard times" throughout the country.
The Northern people are just begin
ming to feel the results OF reconstruc-
ton. In destroying the prosperity of
the South and crushing out the energy
and enterprise of her people they now
see that they were killing the goose
which laid their golden egg.
The end is not yet, and
if it does not eliminate
in bread riots during the next few
months, it may be regarded as fortu-
nate. These people will learn wisdom
by bitter experience.

LET EVERY DEMOCRAT HE AT
HIS Posi-.

The Convention will meet in Ra-
leigh at II NJ, on Monday the 9Th of
September, and it behooves every dem
ocratic delegate to be present at that
hour with his credentials.
The organization of the Convention
is of the very greatest Importance and
to secure control of it with our small
majority, every democratic delegate
must be present. The absence of any
one of them may cause untold evil.
The action of Governor Brozden
has already cheated us out of one dole
gate. Let it not be said thnt our neg
ligeuce cansed us to lose two othors. 1t
is known that an attempt will be made
to preyent the delegates from Robeson
from taking their seats. We are fore
warned of :his and to be forewarned is
to be forearned.
Not only the good of the party and
the welfare of the state, but his OWE
personal reputation as well, demands
that each democratic delegate should
be present with his certificate of cleo
ton when the Convention shall be cal
led to order on the 9th of September.

HlGULAND FALLS. August 90
James Ne cDster Smith, of South Caro-
liua-better known as ColOred Cadet
Smith-chrried off II prize to- day
which uuQuestiOuahly is to him of far
more value than the parchment pre-
sented tC the successful West Point ca
Diet on the day of his graduation.
While wearing the sell-button gray
coat of IL cadet he formed the acuaint-
anco and gained tho love of a high
Iy accomplished and handsome
young lady of his own color, which
resulted in his marriage to-day at the
home of tie brides mother. The
military band of West Point was Sc
cured for the occasion, and disco urs-
ed the best of music to the delight Of
the white and colored guests, who
were about equally divided as to
numbers. Prominent colored gentle
men from distant parts of the country
were present TO witness the ceremony.
The floral decorations were costly,
and the collation. served has not been
excelled here in point of quality,
and variety, for many years. The
General will soon return with his hap
py bride to South Carolina, and re-
sumo his duties as general in the mill

cipal of fourishipg academy inthe
