The first is possessed by all: at least the name of it is. The last is certamlv ihe good fortune of a minority. Let the following facts show that there are a good many who possess tlie second. In 1871,) tlie State reports show, 83,318 polls | (colored): 338,7651 acres of lard, city and town property, to the value of 81,200,115; $1,513,00(1 of oilier pro perty; $80,736 in money and solvent debts—making *’t ’.‘7,768 owned by tlie colored peo; ;**, which is taxed to the amount of $;'t.7*8.99.

The public have already been in formed that the so-called Constitu tional Convention perfected its or ganization on Wednesday, Bth inst., and, that owing to the vote of one man elected from the county ofTyr j veil mainly by tlie aid of Republicans; ; and anti-Convention men, this organ- ; ganization has resulted in favor of tlie revolutionists. The course pursued by Edwaid Ransom, the delegate from Tyrrell, lias no precedent in North Carolina. This gentlemen elected himself Pres ident ol tlie Convention by his own vote, llis course since his arrival in I this city has been coquettish in tht extreme. The language used by him when he announced his deter miimtion to cast his vote for “Ed ward Ransom, the delegate from Tyrrell, is somewhat extraordinary in its import If we understood him correctly lie said he had made every uflbrt to effect a compromise. Tlie Republicans of Tyrrell, who were mainly instrumental in the election !uf Edward Ransom, will doubtless . ire I** know what kind of com-j ; rcim- e gentleman alluded to-j ' ])n’. t .Telegate from Tyrrell mean i say t Ahe was unable to effect ! mi agreement by which some gentle i man could have received a majority ! o'votes for President of the Con-j vention without voting for himself? i j This hardly can be so, because it is; neruty known that Hon.

S. ] i, ti ..olegate from Rockingham was tie- *i,oicc of tlie Democratic party, and if the delegate from Tyr rell war so anxious to have a Demo cratic President why could he not have voted for that gentleman as well as for himself. It. will not do to say that the Democratic party preferred the delegate from Tyrrell to any other gentleman in llieir ranks. This is preposterous. The Act is, that the people ol North Car o.ina are lorced into the belief tha l Edward Ransom, the delegate from Tyrrell, compromised on the basis of self, and, that personal aggrandize inent lies at the bot tom of the pres ent Democratic organization of the so-vnllc . Constitutional Convention ol North Carolina. More anon.-AVa* AVonls nl Tl'i-utli. The Wilmington Past concludes: a very able article in regard to the nsult ot the late election with words | of truth and soberness as follows: The day when tlie poor white men of this State, the laboring class es. can be brow-beaten, cowed and ] driven into measures detrimental to: their interests is gone, and gone for ever. They have in this last election , asserted llieir freedom from ; oiilical thraldom, and we know that they are dreadfully in earnest and intend to maintain at all hazards their pol.- tical freedom. And woe be to the men who have tlie hardihood to at i tempt to deprive them of it. We notice already that some <*f j i the leading journals have commenced 1 : a tirade of abuse, and vindication i against these holiest hardworking l 1 people, and are threatening them ; with ostracism from society, and 1 calling them “no better than ne-j j groes,” and demanding that they lie ] 1 placed where they “rightfully be j long;' etc. All that we have to say is. go on. gentlemen, you are merely • i laying up ‘wrath against the day of j wrath,” and you will certainly be 1 | "mocked when the hour of your calamity eometli.’’ Two Warrentown, Georgia, girls, ( ■re working out the problem of wo •i.'s rights in a new way.

It is told that Abernethy, while attending a ladv for several weeks, observed tliose admirable qualities in her daughter which he truly es tcemad to be calculated to render the married state happy. Accord ingly, on a Saturday, when taking leave of Ills pAtieut. he addressed her to the following purport: “You are now so well that I need not see you after Monday next, when I shall come and pay you mv farewell visit. But in the meantime I wish you and your daughter seriously to consider the proposal I am about in make. Ii is abrupt and unceremonious, I am aware; but the excessive occupation of my t ime, by my professional du ties, affords me no leisure to accom plish what I desire by the more ordi nary course of attention at solicita tion.

The people arc taxed about $20,000,000 ami ally to pay the interest on the bonds, while the Gov ] eminent loans to the banks 8380,- I 008,000, without intercrest. If the ! banks were required to return the money loaned them without interest they would of necessity sell their bonds to obtain money with which to conduct their business, and the Government could, with the money returned by the banks, purchase and cancel $300,000,000 ot these bonds and save $20,000,000 Interest annual ly paid thereon. It is manifest that the banks bold $300,000,000 of Uni ted States bonds, for which they were virtually paid ten yea a ago, on which they have received $200,000,- 000 of interest. The great injustice of the system is, that it permits the; banks to invest their capital in bonds! and taxes the people to pay the in-! terest, while the Government loans the banks the people’s money with- ] I out interest. The money in circulation amounts to nearly $800,000,000; about half of it i.* loaned to the banks, the other halt is issued directly from the Treas ury, and is a debt of the Government which bears mi interest. By a law of the last Congress it is provided that $400,000,000 of new bonds, hear ing gold interest, shall be issui <1 and sold for gold to redeem !•■_*:! ten tiers, which bear no intorc*:; and also that an additional loan of about $400,000,000 shall be made to the banks. The excuse for this legisia tion was that the currency was not 1 good enough. But the real reason for the passage of the law was to ' j confer benefits on capitalist win* die j late the financial policy ot the Re i publican party in their’own interest. ] If this policy is "oiisnuiated, $400,- 1 000.000 of gold obtained by the sale of now Government bonds, will be paid to the people, in exchange for ! legal tenders. As a matter of course ■! the people will deposit tlieir gold ! for safe keeping, and thus enable the i banks to resume specie payments I without cost to them, and float a cir j dilation of 8800,000,0001 ottned them j jby the Government, until *lu* next] suspesion of specie pay. . ns. The: ' immense profit that wouiu accrue .to! the banks bv this operation is mani test, and is in exact proportion to ! the loss to he sustained by tin* peo ] pic, viz: An increase of 824,000,000 ] annually, to pay interest en the ad ! ditional $400,000,000 of new bonds. Marriage.— Young man, don’t : make a fool ot yourself, Getting mar ried is a serious thing. When you visit a young lady at t ight, and find !in the parlor a kerosene lamp, with II he chimney smoked up and d rty, :and, alter waiting hall an hour, the [ lady makes her app trance, yon I may set it down in yu,:r mind that j the said young lady i. t lit fora j wife. She may dance gently; but ] she will not keep your h .so decent. She may sing like a nightingale; but I she will give you a dirty plait to cat out of. She will he almost ccr ; tain not to know how to spell. A j slovenly woman rarely ha* a toler able education. 1 You may think as you please now j About the matter ol female education and you may talk as you will ug; t learned women; but it will in l be pleasant to liml out after marriage, that your wife can not write her mother tongue m tolerably decci style, and iliat, in her note to tuc grocer, site spells sugar with an h. between the s and u. It is rarely ! sale to trust to appearances: but you ! may know that neatness and cultiva tion are commonly near or kin, ami! j that dirt a d bad spelliug ale apt to , ;go together. Besides, those women 1 who do not learn to be neat in tlieir ! childhood, rarely learn m later lile; I and the girl, who, at sixteen years ut age, spells balance with two Is, j will probably never drop the super fluous latter.
