We iron men
To meet againE
There are richer notes than bugle blast,
That deepest feelings start;
There's long roll beat TO which we rouse,
It's the love beat of the heart:
The yearnlng wish of the soldier old
To see once again his brothers bold
To give gay greet to the boys in blue;
To clasp The hand OF cOmIade true
Who through dread scenes stood shoulder 10 You
When you heard all around with halt held brra IN
The buzz and boom of orders from death.
NhcE the roaring ball and shrieking shell,
And wounded plant. ana the battle yell.
Aud sulphur smoke seemed like paints Of hell
When all the manhood M you hid
lou felt IN your heart, and saw he did.
What a sparkling sky OF Incidents
Evoke when soldiers meet;
How thought fits over the teeming past
With winged, tircless feet!
Rich themes tina, had dropped from time awav-
Buried from mental sight
Touched by their mutual wands, Ut once
Are lifted into light
So planted over the graves We love
Grow the violes fair,
The rank. coarse grass spreads around, above:
Who knows the beauty theres
But part that web of rugged green,

THE 1 CONVENTION.

The Chaflotte Observer says, it is hardly
probable that with the small majority we
will have inour State Convention. the Dem
ocrats will be able 10 make any important
changes in our present Constitution. aud if
tho Republicans oppose il as they are like
y odu, We can hardly hape 10 have thi.
system Of electing judges by the people
abolished. II Republicans hy appealing
to the PASSIONS and prejudices u tie masses
will defeat every effort at reform IN this
direction in State governments, WHY should
not the Democratic party advocate elect
| ing all Federal officers hy the people too.
let w. make the Federal and State govern
menis consist.
While Gov. Vance was speaking on the
! Convention question over the mountains u
set Of Revenue officers were very NOISY aud
we're interrupting him with questions a.
bout whether he was in favor Of takinsa-
way from the people, the power TO elect
judges etc. when lie turned Oh them and
asked who elected yon? where is the de-
Cent White man or well regulated negro
that would vote for any one Of Jou? You
are pretty set to be talking about the
rights Of the people to elect their own Of
! licers
Why should the Democrats not 60 into
the campaign in 1876 on this platform
bet the Federal CONSTITUTE nbe so amended
as to throw The selection Of Federal judge,
into The hahfdsof the people. Let the peo.
pie elect all the subordinate officers OF the
Court. A Federal jndgeship isa more
lucrative office than that the Chief Justice
OF the State. the District Attorneys IN.
come is equal 70 the salarips Of al dfr
Supreme Court judges combined. while
the salary Of the CLERK ofthe Federal Court
is larger than that olthe Governor of North
Carolina. Why then should the people
not say directly who shall have the Of
iices! let the people elect theirOSn mar
shall and every district lis deputy mar
shalls. Why shoald the people not elect
Revenue collectors aud all the subordinate
officers Of that department. Phe people
are certainly as honest us the sdminista-
ton and We do not see why tie people Of
country should not elect goycrnmen,
Store-keepers too, though this whole In
iernal Revenue department ought to be
abolished root and branch. But what
would please the people most would be the
privilege II electing their own postmasters.
II Is only the people who live about u town
or neighborhood who are qualified to Sc.

much patronage III the hands of the Fed.

EARTHQUAKES are becoming quite
too common in this country to be COM
Portable, to persons who have a
fondness for upright chimneys. Cali
fornia has experienced several shocks
of late, and last week Virginia took
her turn. The state has not been so
much agitated, since Grant invited
himself and his army into Richmond
in 1865. The shock was felt over the
whole state, and extended as far north
as Washington, but was very slight at
this point. In the vicinity of Rich
mond it was particularly severe. No one
was injured, however, owing to the fact,
probably. that all the inhabitants were
in Washington looking after positions
from the Democratic Congress.
In our opinion the proper place for
earthquakes is on the Pacific coast, and
We would inform the general manager
of the phenomena, that Watertown is
not suffering for any experience of this
kind. We are a modest people and do
not care for great sensations, especially
when it is going to disturb the titles to
our real estate. Another objection to
be advanced is, We are not prepared to
entertain this subterranean convulslon.
Our houses are not bolted down, and
it would not be practical for us to
take in our chimneys every night. Be-
sides every man has "a fondness for his
own home, and il would not be pleas
ant for him to find his neighbor's house
ia full possession Of his lot some night
on his return from days toll, and his
own mansion immodestly standing on
Its head in some thoroughfare. AL
this we say would not be agreeable,
and we think it would be in exceeding
| II bad taste on the part of an earth.
Quake to visit WATERFOWL as things
now stand. The only time in the fu-
ture,. when it will be at all conven-
lent for us to be "at home" to this
| monster, is when the bondholdert
procure laws favoring 40 enforcsd col.
lection of our bonds. Then if an
earthquake has the hardihood to steE
| in and take tusssl with the Shylocks
we will say go in, and the deviltaks

The trial of Jane Williams charged
With the murder of her father, Will
liam L. Williams, at their residence in
the northeast corner Of Columbus 10
this state, on the night Of the 7th of
August last, commenced at Portage on
Monday Of last week, and ended on
"Wednesday, with an acquital. The
testimony given at the trial, was to the
sakct that Williams was in the habit
a beating his daughter numerically
when he vas under the influence Of
liquor, and also had at these times often
threatened her life. There was pro-
baby no doubt in the minds Of the
jury but that Jane Williams drove the
fatal knife into her fathers side on that
night, but it was also evident there wrs
adesperate fight between father and
daughter. and that bis strong bands
we're on James throat, aud it was kill

Earthquake.

WAsHINdsoN, Dee. Residents
in South Washington represent that
between lSnnd II O'Clock last night
they sensibly felt the shock of an
earthquake.
A dispatch f.om Gordonsville, Va,
dated to-day. says: There was heavy
shock of an earthquake last night at
ll-30. 1t Jared windows and houses,
and lasted fully three seconds,
La Richmond the residents were
startled from their sumbcrs, and
many went TO the doors and windows
in dismay. The noise made by the
shock was heard in every quarter of
the city, and some say there was two
distinct rumblings. 1t lasted from
thirty to fourty seconds, and was ac-
companied by a rushing sound through
the air like current of wind, some
distance above the earth.
A short timo after the cessation of
the shocks in Richmond, the streets
were threnged with frightened and
excited people. Many made their
way to the newspaper and telegraph
offices to learn the extent of the phe-
nomena, while those Of more nervous
temperament remained in the streets
for hours, not daring to reenter their
houses for fear of repetition of the
shocks; but the remainder of the night
passed off without further disturbance
10 day this remarkable epoch In Rich
mond's history was the ganeral topic
of conversation. it being discussed in
all Its phases, each one having their
own experience to relate.
kilograms from various points in
Virginia reports shocks similar to
those felt here. In some places a
greater number Of shocks are reported
than in others. None of the reports
agree as to the direction of oscillation.
As far as heard from the shocks were
not felt south of Petersburg, west of
Lynchburg, north of Alexandria, nor
east of City Point on the James river.
Along the chesapeake and Ohio rail
road shocks were felt as far as Staun-
ton, $50 miles northwest of Rich
mond. They were also felt along the
line of the Richmond and DanvilIe
Railroad to the southern boarder .of
the State. The probability that the
shocks in Richmond were as severe as
at apy other point. as no damage
worth mentioning is reported from
any direction.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-A
shock of earthquake was felt In Placier
Nevada, and Youba counties last night.
No damage is reported.
Another shock of earthquake was
felt this evening in Grass Valley.

A NOTABLE ENTEBpRIsE.-
David e. Croly, "Jennie June" writes
to the Baltimore american as follows:
ut is understood in press circles that
new venture has been determined
upon in weekly journalism Three
prominent geptlemen-David Wells,
Col Grossenor aud Carl Schurz-
have purchased or obtained large
proprietary interest in The Financier
which is to take the new name of The
Public, and become the organ of ad-
ministrative financial reform With
such leaders its tone will necessarily
judicial and statesmanlike, and it will
doubtless in great degree take the
place OF The Nation which hardly sus-
tains the impression upon the public
mind it first created"
