The action of the National Demo
| cratic Executive Committee in fixing
| npon the 9th of June as the time and
st. Louis rs the place for holding the
| next National Convention of the party
to nominate candidates for President
and Vice President will doubtless meet
| with neither objection nor criticism
anywhere in the 8 ou'h. The Demo
Gratis of the South have no axes to
grind nor can it be said even any very
strong preferences to crafty at the
coming G 'nver ton and we're therefore
perfectly well content to leave both
time and place to the discretion Of tie
Committee in the full confidence too
that what ever was done would be
done for the best. The result has
shown that confidence not to have
been misplaced.
Day 10y day indications of the coming
conflict thicken a round us; day by day
the proportions of She mighty struggle
| begin to assume more definite shape.
Before tile first Of July the candidates
| of both national parties will be in the
field, and both sides will be ready to
| begin work in earnest. Our State con-
| ventions too will have met and put out
tickets.
Meanwhile there is much to be done
aud something to be left undone by
Democrats in North Carolipa if they
would redeem the time for their party g
success and their country's good. Some
thing must he done % secure full
attendance of the meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, TO
take place on the 18th of March, to fix
the time and place of holding the State
Convention. Much is to be done to
secure a full representation of .-.the
party in every county in the State in
that convention when it shall meet
Much, very mich, must be done tc
bring the party into that state of di=.
cipline and organization SO necessary
l.
its ranks faithless to its organization
and discipline the party must steacE
them the needed lesson at once for the
reason that it is not probable there
will be another convention of the en-
tire party in the State for four years to
come. Unity of plan and concert o.
action in the coming campaign we
mu.t have or we shall be defeated.
And if the discord and dissensions
that prevail in our own ranks, the dis
position to convert personal strifes into
party issues shall abate, it will be we'll
1t will be we'll for US also instead Of
delaying by the wayside in unneces
sary criticism upon our own party, tc
devote our whole time and all our en-
ergies to assaults upon the snemy.
It is time for us to think seriously oi
these things.

We notice in several papers pub

apetition has been in circulation in
this State for some time past praying
the President Gin this centennial wear
of the nations independence to exer-
else his olemency' in pardoning some
forty or more inmates of the ALBANY
penitentiery, who were convicted of
being members of the Ku Klux Klan
during the years 1869, 1870 and 1871.
If there be any such persons at AL
bany we have for some time been labor
ing under very 81 eat error; nor have we
ever heard of :.any such petition any
where within the State. Our impress

while that President Grant had par

Some very interesting statistics Of
the nativity OF members of the Forty
fourth Congress have been compiled
by the Washington Chronicle. Of the
two hundred and ninety three mem
bers of the House of Representatives
only fifty-two were born in the dis.
tricts which they represent. All the
Senators and Representatives from the
States of Iowa, Kansas, California, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Arkansas and O. g.
gon are ''carpet-baggers," Wisconsin
has but one native Representative, and
the large State of Illinois, with nine
teen districts, has but two. New
Jersey, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, North
Carolina and Georgia send none but
natives. The South has eight of her
Democratic sons representing districts
i'll the Northern States, while the
North sends ten Republicans and six
Democrats from the South. New York
has ffty-four natives in Congress, and
supplies the State of Nebraska with
her whole delegation.

The Tribune calls attention to the
fact that Tuesday is much favored by
holidays In the present year. Four of
tie legal holidays fell on that day of
the sseek, namely: Washingtcn's Birth
day. Decoration Day, the Fourth of
July, and, of course, election day. 1t
is somewhat rare occurrence for
fo1r holidays to have the same week
day in year; it happened last in 1872,
.ghen Thursday was the favored day,
Thanksgiving Day being one of the
four; ii will not again happen during
The century. But holidays falling on
Sunday arc celebrated on Monday,
and the year 1892 will practically be
thus distinguished, since one OF It's
holidays falls on Sunday and three on
Monday. AS the question is some
times asked what day of the week
noted occurrences in 1776 happened
on, it may be. we'll to bear in mind the
simple rule of counting back five we, k
days from the week day 1876 of the
day of the month in question; thus
July 4, 1876, falls on Tuesday; ave
days back from Tuesday gives Thurs
day; therefore July 4, 1776, fell on
Thursday.

1.-THE loss OF life by the sinking of the
steamer Strath Clyde, which came into
collision with the Franconia at Dover,
was frightful, and more deaths have
occurred since the first report. Only
five passengers are known to survive.
The frequency with which accidents
of this kind occur in the Channel and
on the English coast points to iaxity
in the administration of the shipping g
laws which would be a reproach OF
this side of the Atlantic.
