The following preamble and
Resolutions, offered by Hon. Jas.
H. Harris, we're adopted by the
convention Of leading colored men
of North Oaroliua, which met at
1fsboro on the 10th Of March,
WHEREAT, The democratic Leg
blature Of North Carolina has
haken from the people the right to
elect their magistrates and county
officers, contrary to the spirit OF
our free institutions, and the
American system Of local self
government; and whereas, the
tendency Of legislation since the
the bourbon democracy obtained
control Of our State government,
has been to favor the autocrats of
that party at a sacrifice ef the pop
ular rights of the people; and
whereas, by a shameful gerryman-
der of our large cities and senate
!, rial districts minorities are allowed
to rule majorities; and whereas,by
a shameful gerrymander of our
Congressional districts one hun
dred and twenty Thousand demo.
Gratis according to the election
returns) are given seven OF the
eight Congressman to which the
State is entitled, and the one
hundred and thirty seven thou
sand republican voters only one
representative. Therefore,
Be it rssolved By this Contention !:
1. Thst while we do not favor
the abandonment Of any Of the
principles OF the republican party
which have done SO much for the
education Of our race; and while
we heartily endorse the admins.
tration of President Arthur, we
hail with pleasure the unmistak-
able evidences of a liberal move
ment in North Carolina, founded
on popular rights as against bour-
bon rule, class legislotion, and ty"
rannical monopolies.
2. That we will hail such liberal
movement, founded upon such
principles; and are ready to re :
ceive those liberal men who have
heretofore acted with the demo-
cratic party who are not blinded
by the narrow prejudice of by
gone age, and who are willing to
bury the dead past in an earnest
and joint effort to build up q new
North State, to make the burdens
of government bear equally upon
all citizens, aud guarantee to all
equal rights and privileges, under
just and human laws.

The following story was told me as
an instance of Carl (Johan) XIV.'s
spirit: "A Russian man -of-war was seen
passing the fort of Waxholm en- route
for Stockholm without having given
customary salute. The orders of the
fort commandant were distinct that in
case like this two warnings were to be
given. The first, that Of firing ball
in the rear of the vessel. If this we're
unheeded, another was to be sent in ad-
vance Of its bow. Jn case both warn
ings were disregarded, ball was to be
sent into the most vulnerable part Of
the ship. In the present instance both
warnings had been given without re-
sponse, and the commandsnt, young
beardless lieutenant, though shaking in
his boots, cried out to the cannoneer:
"Do you see the wleel-house?"

frightened young commandant in it
from Wsxholm, and ono from the dis

most speed in hope of reaching the
royal presence first. The Swede arrived

Sleeping Apart.

"More quarrels arise between broth
ers, between sisters, between hired
girls, between clerks in stores, between
hired men, between husbands and
wives, owing to electrical changes
through their systems by lodging to-
gether night after night under the same
bedclothes, than by any other disturb
ing cause. There is nothing that will
so derange the nervous force, as to lie
all night in bed with another person
who is sorbent in nervous force. The
absorber will go to sleep and rest all
night, while the eliminator will be tum-
bling and tossing, restless and nervous,
and wake up in the morning fretful,
peevish, fault-fnding and discouraged
No two persons, no matter who they
are, should habitually sleep together
One will thrive and the other will lose.
This is the law."-"LdaoS of LJa."

From This to That.

"We don't know much about it, OF
course" says the editor OF the Burling-
ton Hawkeye, "but we should think
after a man has been secretary of the
treasury for three or four years, and had
occasionally dumped $50. 900, 900 ; into
Wall street to relieve the market, and
had called in $20O00,000 skies at one
time, and bought 100000 of bonds
every week, and dsbursed $1l 100000
one week and $18, 100000 the next, we
should think 1t would gravel him aw-
fully to go back into his law office when
the administration changed, and make
out an abstract of a farm away out in
Buckshaw county and sell it for an old
woman down in Kickapoo township to

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.

The Valley of Death, SPOT almost
as terrible as the prophets valley Of
dry bones, lies just north of the old
Mormon road to California, in Utah
a region thirty miles long by thirty
broad, and surrounded, except at two
points, by Inaccessible mountains. 1t
is totally devoid of water and vegeta
ton, and the shadow of bird or wild
beast never Iarkens its white glaring
sands. The Kansas Pacific Railroad
engineers discovered it, and some

"lost Montgomery train" which came
south from Salt Lake in 1850, guided
by Mormon. When near Death

that the Mormon knew nothing about

rTHE SUN for 1882 will make its fif-
tenth annual revolution under the
present management, shining, as always,
for all, big and little, mean and gracious,
contented and unhappy, Republican and
Democratic, depraved and virtuous, intel
ligent and obtuse. THE Suns light Is for
mankind and womankind oil every sort,
but its genial warmth is for the good,
while it pours hot discomfort on the bis
tering backs of the persistently wicked.
THE SUN Of 1858 was newspaper of n
new kind. 1t discarded many of the forms,
and multitude of the superfiunus words
AID phrases of ancient journalism. 1t
undertook to report in a fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news of the
orld, omltting no event of human inter-
est, and commenting upon affairs with
the fearlessness of absolute independence
The success of this experiment was the
SUCCESS OF THE Sur. 1t effected a perma-
nent change in the style of American
newspapers. Every important journal es-
tablished in his country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after THE
Sun. Every important journal already
existine has been modified and bettered
by the force of THE Suns example.
THE SUN of 1882 will be the same out
spoken, truth,elling and Interesting news
paper.
BY liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall

porting we get the particulars, whether it

ChicagO,s Growth.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean tells in q
few words the story of Chicago's pro-
gress since she became city in 1887.
In the thirty -four years between that
time and 1871 she increased her popu-
lation to 306, 900, gain in thirty-four
years of about 100000, or an average
gain per year of about 5000. In the
ten years between October 8, 1871, and
October 8, 1881, the gain in popula-
ton was 250,000, or an average gain
per year Of $4,000. In the thirty-four
yeals from 1887 to 1871, the business Of
the city grew in volume until the yearly
sales had money value of $3.50, 900. 900.
In the ten years succeeding the fire OF
1871, the volume of business was more
than doubled. A year after the fire the
bank clearings for the week were $780,
100000. Nine years later the clearings
for the week were $50, 100000. In 1871
the value of manufactured products of
Chicago was $76, S43, 900. In 1881 the
value is 1886, 100000.
