ACTION KKfiAMO lO Since the publication of our article in reference to the action of the Houe of Representative upon the report of the Committee on Education and La bor, niade in obedience to a resolution of that body passed 2d of February 1874, directing said Committee "io enquire into the condition and man agement of the agricultural and other colleges which have roctivtd grants from the United State under the act of 2nd of July, 18(i2,,: wo have receiv ed through the kindness of Senator Ransom a copy of the report in ques tion. For the principal facts contained in oar former articles we were indebted, aH wefctated, to the New York Evtnh-y Punt. Nor were wo lothe to produce an authority so worthy of rnott serious consul ration upon Buch subjects hi 6Tij'prt of the correctness of the con clusions of the Committee. The authority of the Evening I'ost and of its venerable mid accomplished E.iitor William CtrnLEN Bbyakt wid scarcely be questioned among any English speaking people no martee what may be the warmth of the ciiine in rhich they live. This morning, however, we are not compelled to rely upon any secondary authority for we have the report itseli. Upon the eighth page of that report wu find the following: 'Attention is next called to the clu.sa of bifc'ee, happily few in number, u. which the conrraet with the govern ment has been grossly violated and its bounty almost wholly wasted. in ISorth Carolina a fund of $125,000 wnit invested in 2tJ State bonds, nomi naiiy of 1,000 each. The largest por tion of them were "special-tax bonds." They are now eubstantialiy valueless, and do not appear to have been re garded as worth much at the time they were bought. It is sufficient so bv that, of the whola amount, not one dolur of either principal or interest i now available for the purpose of edu cation. A report which has been f orwa rded to from tne ofiicers of the University of Kurih Carolina, after stating that the money when received was deposited in a Northern bank, adds: "In lbG'J the ne board of trustees received the amount thus depositod by the former board, and invested it in State bonds. 'Iheae bonds were boon inudo vaiac lcn, and no income has been derived therefrom." Another report, received from the Bupi-rintendaut of Public Instruction, in reply to the question whether the C( uditions of the law under which the grant was made have been fuililled, t.iu mildly descri en the manner in which the money was disposed of: "We think that none of the conditions have been performed, for the reason that a 7nisstake was made by the tius teen when they invested the proceed of the land-scrip in North Carolina State bonds, which are now unavaila ble for the purpose of raising revenue to support the Agricultural and Me chanical College." The committee have not the means at hand of dttermini: g the share of individuals in the responsibility for this discreditable transaction. Nor is it essential to the present purpose that tins should be done. These per oons aro responsible to the State of North Carolina, whose agents they were. The State is responsible to the National Government. The State is the only party known to us in the con tract under which the grant was con veyed a contract which it has utterly failed to keep." At the conclusion of the report we Sad the following: "The committee recommend the aeiption of the following resolution: Unsolved, That the Attorney Gen eral be requested to report to the House w hat measures, if any, should bfl taken by the United States to se eure fmm any State the fulfilment of its contract to preserve undiminished the principal of the fund derived from the grant of land made by the United States for the support of colleges of agriculture and tne mechanic arts, and whether, in his judgment, the piovh ions of existing iaw are sufficient to af ford a remedy in the premises." We repeat therefore the question asked in our former article, can the legislature, in view of all the circum stances, refuse to give to the bill now pending before the Senate the sanction Deceasary to make it a law ? We thick not. Indeed it seems to us it would be an insult as welt to the com Qan sense as to the patriotism of Set -atThto suppose for a moment that they c-mhl bring themselves to vote "gainst it. A cheat many furiously loyal editors of Radieal newspapers at the North have professed to feel greut alarm for t:ie safety of the count) y because a large number of ex-Confederate 8!Jiers have been elected to Con gress. The Cincinnati Enquirer aiimvers the timorous patriots pretty fairly iu this way: "The great mass of the intellect, the wealth and mun keod of the South was engaged in the 1 "to war agdiust the Federal Govern ment. To exclude it from participation m the general administration is really t exciude that great section of the Linoti itself. WTe don't want to m .ke "-I'resident Lincoln and ex-St-cretary otute Seward iiars when they an nounced to foreign governments that we vacant seats of the Southern Rep feseutatives in Congress were only iting for their return: that no op position would be interposed by us to ';ir return, but that the war w "tang waged for that purpose. For the first time since 18G1 these vacant Beats in Congress are to be filled in pursuance of these promises, and be "we of it there should be congratula tions from one end of the Union to wie other."

The object for which we have been laboring for eeven months is accom plished the Legislature has called a Convention to rid us of the burdens of the Cauby Constitution. The text of the bill, as published on yesterday, shows the Convention is what is c died a restrict d Convention, hat is to fay, it is restrie'ed or prohib its from doing certain things that but for tho restrictions imposed, it. might do. We do not propoe to (linens how far these restrictions may be binding on the Convention, for the reason that we do not d-eein the ques tion to have any practical importance. We feel quite mre the Convention w ill disregard none of the prohibitions imposed upon it. What we propose to do this morn ing is to consider very brit fly what re strictions upon the power of the Con vention are imposed by the act of tho Legislature. The restrictions arc (?.) Not to interfere with the Homesteud and persf rial property exemption. If the largest libt tty were permitted it is bafe to say nr one wou'd exercise it by interfering with the Homestead law. Every tody is agreed upon that. (2.) Not to interfere with the Mechanics and Laborers l en and married wo men's rights. As to tin's restriction, also, ail are agreed. These liens and rights ought not to bo int' rfered wit''. (3.) Not Ui change Sec. 3, Art. 5, of the Constitution. This section inquires htxatiou to be ad valorem anel is ja.t ami proper. (4 ) Not to change t of same article. This sectieu forbids the Legislature to contract Ct:y new debt or contract any nw pecuniary obligation, unless it shall in the Ram bill levy a special tax to pay the inter est annually. It also forbids the Leg islature to lend the credit of the State tt) any railroad or other corporation uuless the same be approved by a di rect vote of the people of the State. Thes.e are proper safeguards and ought to be maintained. (5 ) Not to change the ratio between the roll and prtipe-r-ty tax that is the poll tax shall equal the tax ou three hundred dollars worth of property. To this too there will be no objection, for the reason that it will prevent either poll or property from evading its due share of tax ation, as one cannot be changed with out changing the other in the sameprc po:tion. (G.) Not to vacate or abolish any office before the expiration of the term of its present incumbent. To this restriction we were opposed on many accounts, but having been made u part of the act of the Assembly call ing the Convention, we shall now urge no objection to it. (7.) Not to pay for slaves. We pre sume no one expected North Caroli na to pay North Carolinians for slaves emancipated by the Federal Government (8.) Nor lo vo think any one proposed to make pro vision for any war debt. (9.) Nor was there ever any purpose to require any educational or property qualification as a requisite for voting. (10 ) Nor was there aiy purpose to restore im prisonment for debt. (11.) The prohi bition against acts of ordinary legisla ture ig merely a precaution unneces sary we thir.k to insure a short ses sion of the Convention. From this brief review it will be seen that the only restriction of any practical importance is the one which permits the present office-holders to serve out the terms for which they wore elected. .The Convention has full power to change our cuu ty and township governments, to require every vot.vr to show his poll-tax receipt; to prevent fieim voting every man convi- ted of larceny; to change our whole judicial system; the mode of electing judges and m ;g'Btrates; to require the Judges to ride the circuits in rotation, and indeed to make all the other chanees so much desired. The restneions, with a single exception perhaps, cover ground that no one proposed to enter noon. V K t.I.O V FI-.tVK K . Dr. Frank W. Ruiily, surgeon, Uni d States Marine Hospital Service, has, in accordance with a resolution of j the Senste through instructions frem the Secretary of the Treasury, prepar ed a report of the yellow fever epidemic of 1871 ns it prevailed at the various ports of the United States. The fol- owing statements are mfide therein: From the month of February, ibui, until the 21st of November of thosau e year, there occurred 3,700 deathsjfrom malignant or epidemic cholera. Dur ing the sarne period each year there occurred in round numbers 21,01'U deaths from diariLen, dysentery and cholera infantum. From the el ite of of the first case, May 23, to the date -f the last case, Noveiabei 2, lb.73, there occcurreel 3,M3 deaths from soecilicor epidemic yellow fever. Dnving the same period each year there occurred from the group of malaiial fevers an aggregate of 8,500 deaths. Th.i last preceding epidemic apppearanc of yellow fe-ver was iu 1837, and from it siibs'dence np to the close of 1872 th re ha i been an aggregate of 970 deaths from thi3 cause, but dur ing the same period Here had been an aggregate of over 50,000 deaths from the malarial fe vers. There had been no epidemic cholera in the country for the six years previous, but dnring that period the group of diseases most resembling it carried off not less than 125,000 per sons, and year by year such more or less preventable diseases as small pox, scarlet fever, typhus, enteric fever and consumption are the causes of a toler ably constant average of over 100,000 deaths per annum. The report states that absolutely nothing has been learn ed of the cause of the disease. The question of its earthly origin, or its importation into the Gulf States from adjacent countries in the same latitude and under the same climatic condi tions, is still unsettled. Specific modes of prevention; and. of iimita- tion remain as Yffu and enept, medi- j oal opinion is ma confuted and conflict-: ing, and msdical tkill as baffled as be- fore. That yellow farer failed to be- j come epidemic in New York the past j season, as well as that it is not epidem-! 10 every season, is due probably first, to the want of favoring conditions in the season itself, and second, to the efficiency of its Board of Health, but certainly not to the want of a snpply of causes furnished by land from other ports.

Hon. George F. Hoar, of Massachu setts, h: written a letter to tho Boston A dvcrtieer, appeal Log ' to the generosity of Massachusetts, aid eapociallv to the friends of Harvard, in behalf of the old College of William and Mary iu Virginia, which gave Washington Lis first commission in his youth, and of which he was Chancellor for tha loot twelve years before Lis death." He says: This venerable seat of learning wus destroyed by fire on the th of Sep- tenioer, iscz. I'm college was ou territory located by tha United State as loyal territory, and in thv actiul occupation by our troops from Hay, 1862, to the close of the war. There was a oonflct on the 9th day of Sep tember between our troops and a body of rebel cavalry, h got poaaeaaion of the place for a few ho lira. Afttr thwir withdrawal, returning stragglers of th garrison set fire to the building, which had been, with the exoeption of tbeee few hours, in our military occupation. A court martial had baen going on there the day before, and the building contained hay and other atorea, and cavalry equipments. It will take about seventy thousand dollars to replace the buildings, and, I think, fully one hundred thousand to restore the col lege to as good condition as before the war. There are few civilized government in the world that would not deem them selves constrained, if not by the law of nations, yet by the respect which such nations feel towards institutions of learning, to restore such an institution even when it belonged to an enemy, if injured by its troops under such cir cumstances. History contains many conspiccoas and interesting examplea of the care taken by great eommandera for colleges expoaed by the operation a of war, and of the reparation made by thoxn, wVifn such institutions have been injured by thetr troops. The College of William and Mary has eminent claims to be rememberer with reverence by every true son of Massachusetts. In the great events which preceded the Revolution, in educating the American people in the principles of civil liberty and of con stitutional government, her services to the country were scarce second to those of Harvard. Washington re ceived her diploma as surveyor in hia vouth, and rendered, as her chancel lor, his last public service in old age. Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, who announced th. great law of equality and hnman rights, in whose light our Constitution is at last and forever to be interprt ted, was her eon atd drank his inspiration at her fountain. Peyton Randolph, the first President of the Continental Ce-ngress, Edmund Randolph, Wash ington's Attorney-General, and Presi dent Monroe were her graduates. Marshal, without whose luminous and far-sighted exposition our Constitu tion could hardly have been put into successful aDd harmonious operation, who imbedded forever in our consti tutional law the great doctrines on which the measures that saved the Union are based, was a son of William and Mary. The liviug alumni of William and Mary do not deem themselves able to contribute the money needed to supply htr wants. A bill appropriating $68, 0U0 for this purpose passed the House of Representatives in the Forty -second Congress, but failed in the Sen ate. Many of the wisest and most in fluential of the Republican leaders feared that the bill might create a dangerous precedent, to follow which would burden the treasury witn tiic cost cf rebuilding every school or church or institution of charily des troyed during the war. But I have good reason to know that the attempt, though unsuccessful, prodneed excel lent results in its effect on the feet iegs of the numerous friends of the College of Virginia. The argument, forcible when addressed io the nation al legislature, ha, of oourae, no weight when voluntary contribution hp m question. Nothing would, in ray judgment, have a greater tendency t revive &? f ct ion between the Noith and South tlum to rebuild by a national contribu t:ou this ancient institution, chief among the household gods of Virgin ia. Woat proef so certain that the bitterness of the late war ia over, and that the early memories of the days of the Revolution and of the framiiig and inauguration of the Constitution, are returning in full force, than the rebuilding of this sacred temple of learning in Virginia by tbe people of tbe North, under the lead of Boston and Harvard ? I am, yours very reapectfn iy. George F. Hoat A bill had been made the special o der in the State Senate of Tennessee which cont tins the following section: "That bachelorism is hereby declared privilege, and every maie mnaui- taut of this 8tte over twenty years of j age, being of sound mind enjoying good bodily health, remaining unmar ried after the first day of May, 1875, shall pay a fine of ten dolllars an nually." If you want to see a man strugghrg to do several things at once just watch him trying to put on his overcoat and rubbers, and yet keephisbead bowed, while the minister is pronouncing the benediction.

At 12 o'clock, the Speaker announc ed the special order. The Clerk read the bill in a clear, loud voice, and uithough every listener was perfectly fttuiliir with its provisions, the most anxious siience was ebserved during the reading. The voice of the Clerk had haidiy died away, befoie almobt every Republican waB upon theilocr seek ing recognition. One after another gave notice of amendments, fearing that they might be cut off under the operation of the prviou3 qnesti. r But the friends of the bill Lad no disposition to prevent debate, and, upon motion of Mr. Oaksmith, five Hiinnit vere allowed to each to explain his vole, after the call of the roll had been ordered Mr. W heeler, Republican.from For- j ytlie, ofTxred a large number of j amtndmenis, which were voted down, j lteis. MVoane and alaans announced j ou Dchalf of the Democrats that ' amendments should now be otlVetd io j a supplemental bill, as so many Sena- torslnl left, that to permit anirud menls in the Houe woukl defeat the ! measure. ! Mr. Candler, Republican, of Bun- ; comb, offered another batch of amend j meute, which he supported in a fore.- j bie epeach. He announced that if his j au&endrnents were ael opted he would support the bill . Messrs. Dula, Norment, Mundeu, Hughes and Lloyd, plriu and colored ! Republicans, in tnrn proposed amend- j merits, but each was defeated. The ! Rutin I.ljfar: having spokeui and offered j amendtoents to their hearts' content, Mr. Moring, of Chatham, moved th- ; ten over his honest and determmeti previous qnestiou, which wa ordered. face. He said that he had been heart Tho attention of the vast crowd, j ily opposed to the call of a Conven whieh hftd Wrinderel during the di- I tion, and a majority cf his constitu- 1 cushion, wa again riveted to the prt .- ceedit:gs. AU was doubt an.l uueer- , iaiu.v. The friends of the bill feared that the absence of Messrs. Jetton of ! Mecklenburg and Moffit of Randolph, ) would hazard it passnge, as tceii j votes would necessarily be counted m the negative. Messrs. Blythe and j Trivett, Republicans, were absent. The latter would probably vote for the bill, as Le had been instructed to do so. On ft hundred and fourteen mem- bers only reHpoudhd to their names, t 1 and eighty oi these innst vote iu the J affirtDoti e To secure the passage of 1 the bill. Sjieiker IJobitif-ou called attention io a rule of the House which Only gove ti " 'eaker a vote in case of a tie, txeo. n elections. In this case hi claimed a right to vote as one of the Representatives of the people, and directed the. Clerk to call his name. Ho responded aye in a distinct voice, which was greeted with applause. When Mr. Atwater, of Orange, was called, he announced that Doth he and bis r -1 league had been opposed to ConrtT.tion, but their own views and tho? of their constituents, he felt as sured, hrI nndei gone a change. He voted aye. Mr. Barnhardt, of Cald well, vvAs tlie first Democrat to vote nay. This surprised the friends of the bill, h Jiey were not prepared for it Mr Bettis, of Cleveland, was the second Democrat t" vote in the nega tive. Mr. Candler, Republican, of Buncombe, failed to responel. Mr Esitoan, of Wilson, was tho th-.rd D; moc-iat tei vote ia the negative. He w:is without instructions, but he be lieved hifi constituents were opposed to the call, and, as au honest repre sentatire, he must vote nay. Messrs. Foole, of Wilkes, and Glenu, of Yad kin, did. nc; respond. Mr. j.'rirEn, of Nash, voted in the negative, being the fourth Democrat Ht did not believe the measure was expedient, ; ud his people were nnpre- pared for it.

Mr. Mc- ,,f Moore, made tue seventh D itnocrat voting na;-. When tbe name of Mr. MeRae, the very able representative from Cum berland was called, he rose and ad dressed the House with evident emo tion. 'He bad been consistent and per- sistent in his opposition to the Con vention movement, as his duty to his constituents demanded. He believed it to be uuwise and inexpedient. He had hoped the people would continue to exercise that patience with which j they had borne the evils of the present j Constitution so long. He thought he j could see the light breaking in tLe j east, and seon we would be abln to cill ati unrestricted Convention.

Page and Stevenson, of Wake, briefly atattd the reasons which had led them to change their opinions and each voted for the bid. Mr. Ste venson had not seen the necessity of the call, and had believed that we would hazard too much. We had bet ter Wear the ills we had than to fly to those we knew not of. He trusted that the God who ruled the universe would so direct the action of tho Gen eral Assembly in this matter as it would redound to the honor, glory and grandeur of North Carolina. The affirmative vote of Mr. Stowe, i of Gaston, who had been persistent in j his opposition, called forth the nearty ) plaudit, of his friends. A truer man 1 m Ate 1 A 1 - or a mere xaitniui representative uoea not live. As the call progressed the Demo crats continued to vote aye, until the name of Mr. Walkar, of Tyrell, wa ealled. lie voted cay making eighth Democrat. When the Clerk had completed the roll, but seventy votes wtre recorded in the affirmative, ten less than Un vote neceesary, to pass the bill. Ti e most intense excitement no w.pravailed. The friends and oppoueuts of the bill were active. The bustle was silenced by the gavel of the Sp aker. The Clerks were busy summing up the vete. A painful silence pervaded the hall. Was the meanre indeed lost ? Slowly Mr. Mclver, of Moore, rose and addressed the Speaker. The silence wm broken, aud happily, toe. There was no mis- wii.iu6 ti ko iIaiuly writ- ents supinirted him in that opposition. The matter was left to his own judg ment. He felt now that it was useless and would be hurtful to hold out longer in his opposition. He wa as good a Conservative as any gentleman upon that floor, and desired as much to uphold and support the organisu- tion of that party. There could be no complaint upen the part of the anti Conventionists of the manner in which ! thev had been treated bv those favor - ing Convention. First, they had ob tniued a majority, then two-thirds, then three-fourths, and to-day they had shown that nine-tenths were iu favor 01 the bill. He had no idea at this juncture of r-baneloning his party o'ganization, on the heels of the par -sage of the C'vil Rights bill, and join tha Republicans. He changed his vote to the affirmotive. The hall re sounded with applause in response to this announcement. Messrs. Jiiisup, of Cumberland, Walker, of Tyrell, and Branhardt, of Caldwell, promptly followed this ex ampleand were greeteel with mani festations of approval. Mr. Norment, of Robeson, called upon tho gentleman from Guilford, (Mr. Mendenhall) to ree'ord his vole. Mr. M. would havo been glad not to have voted oj this question. He did not see how he oould vote for tbe meiMsure, and would not be deterred from doing his duty by the part lash. Ho had usua'ly approved tin a?te of thit parry with which he had generally aet.eel, but upon this q na tion he could net. no voted iu th' negative. Mr. Hii-ley, of Montgomery, now announced a change of unvote brittle but pointedly. Mr. Griffin, of Nash, in a speech of much feeling and ability, placed himself in line with his party. The record now showed that teven- ty-ix members had voted for the bill and four more were necessary. Along I and auxious silence again prevailed, i i and all was cocfuhion. The Clerks j ! . a a V a 3 ' w-re ouy correcxing ineir recorti, aw a , j the fate of the bill was still uneeitain. ; Minutes seemed hours so great was I the anxietv in rocard to the result. i The vote of Mr. Foote, of Wilkes, ' broke in as a relief, and in a speech of ! marked ability assigued the reasons : for recording his vote io favor of the I bill. He, too, was greeted with ap- : r.iuuau hv the Trieinis 01 tne measure. 1 t r , upon mm. mis mu:u a maeie up. i His vote might be fatal to himself and tiis party, but ink or swim, &ervive or perish, he woukl cast his destinies with those of the great party in which he had been reared and to which he be longed. If he was to go forth to his political death he belisvad hs sould meet his fate manfully. He did not desire to escape from any fate to which his party was destined. He would ; cheerfully die with it. He recorded ' his vote in the affirmative. Mr. Glenn, the gallant young reprt- ' sentative from Yadkin, now took the floor. He was cordiaily greeted. Ins t i " j i a speech of great sense and good humor he recorded his vote iu favor j of the bill. Seventy-nine votes had j now been cast iu the affirmative.

R but he did not want tho General Assembly calied up on to tell the Attorney General what was already his duty. Mr. Graham, Chairman of the Com mittee on Railroads, hoped the resolu tion would pass. The lesses of the N. C. R. R., had failed to keep tbe road tip, and he demanded in the name of the dearest interests of North Carolina that this State take every step in it i favor to J thwart the ends of those foreign cor porations who were seeking to destroy the railroad interest of this State, and he wanted to North Carolina put its foot on all such attempts.
