Porter and Connor, and General James Chestnut, a Conimittaa onnnlnfo^ l>v tlio . f?4l??W ?*|'^yiuvvu v^ vmv ? ?, . era Conyeution, have made theirj, report as to the liability of the j State upon the Blue Ridge bonds, guaranteed by the State, and which ? have already been hypothecated; j and also, as to the policy of a fur thcr negotiation of these bonds. v It appears that the State and the 1 city of Charleston, own some $3, 1 y 800,000 of stock in the Road?that 1 under the Act of 1868 the State endorsed $4,000,000 of these Blue ' Ridge bonds; $3,000,000 of which | wereseeured by a statntory lieu on ? ' ? - ^ \ : t. .1 tlie Komi; ami as to wmcu iucm , was a statutory provision that they t should not be negotiated at les? than par. This provision lias riot j been adherred to, and some ?$3, 100,000 of these bonds arc held b\ t various parties as collaterals. Tin <> ' late Act of *71, annuls this comli tion, but according to this repot t: , this is made dependent upon a pri ., or consolidation of the Blue Ridg? 1 and G. & 0. R Uo'ids. Acei?n.i.i^ to tl'e report, the; Jiegot a. ion oi , thes.e bom's at less than par in ntili h and void, and relieves the State j 1 from itg guarantee, unless mad< , valid by the provision in the Act o: 1871, which is at present iuoperu, ' tive, a .d must l?e until tho ccmsol^ idation of the two roads takes L place. Upon this point we anadvised that thero is u difference oi ' opinion among legal jcentlctncn, and we would not hazard an opinit n ourselves. # t Bat.ae to the other point made ' by the report?the .impolicy of ne . gotiating those bonds at less than their par value?wt$ suppwo that [ no true friend of this ?;reat enterprise Vill hebitate long as to firim < # ing an opi^i.m, If the road is to be built at all now with the btate . aid, it most be by the very policy i which is here proscribed. It is ub- ;: surd to suppose* that any botidsj, cobld be i egotiated subject to sucii; f a* condition According to the 11 rcportthereis.no gnarantco tlmtj' the money raised will be expended j; on the road ; and even if so expeu-'t ded, it i* turning over the State, 1 money and property to an irresp'on-r, bible ft-sociatiou. We suppose, , however,, that Iho samo 'security, exists here as in other eases of j Htatc guarantees, and that-the con- j tiugent-liability of the State is am- j pl y provided for in the character of j tho gentlemen, who nave assumeu j, charge of the State interest in thej matter. Some of these we know personally, and others from character, and feel assured that with their practical skill, pecuniary ahil- j ity, and well established integrity, j they will be competent to engineer successfully & . great enterpri.se which promises. much to the State.

Buta consideration of the ele- j ments which entered into the contest, in North Carolina especially, and ihe. ruling considerations whieh operated j ipon the minds uf the great body ot voters, will lea<l to a very different conclusion. 'I he question at issile in in the election was that of a convention or no convention for the revision of the State Constitution. The proposition for a convention emauated from a Democratic Legislature, and j had in view certain sweeping change* which would have consolidated its party strength. 13ut a call was tnade in tho faeo of a provision of the Constitution itsef, that-it should not be hanged until the expiration of ten fears from its adoption. On thin ground the Republicans had denotinc-l :d tho whole movement as illegal and: " 'I !nf?/kl.'ir\i^ mill mitiHiuiNi! iiiir I * VJ IUj illtu llltl/niK^ CIII'J t| .he whole power of the government! ii the election, threatened to appeal! n the lust resort to President Grant j limself.

In Kentucky the Democrats have carried the Stato by an estimated majority of some 45,000 or 50.000, and this too in spite of more than ordinaly efforts by the Republicans, If; there bo apathy in tho Democratic! ranks on account of' disturbing issues, j they afford no ground at least to sup|>osc that they can affect tho party strcrgth in the State. It requires an exciting Presidential campaign to bring out the wholo Democratic j strength. * j Sl'PPER.

Tbo vo by ballot has long been before t British Parliament. but Mr. Gladsto is this first English Prime M in 1st who ever gave it an honest and bet tv support; and endorsed as he is I the whole liberal party in the lion of Commons, .he is 11 \v the. choa leader of tbo conservative democrat of the United Kingdom. The ueti< of the Lords cannot long delay tl contemplated measure. A royal wn rant may not be efficacious in ov? coming this opposition, as in the en of the bill to abolish the purchase sj tcm,and it may not bo necessary to r sort to the extreme measure of croi ing new peers to secure tlie passago lhe bill. The Lords will likely n long resist a determin d minister bat ed by tho whole power of the cou try. In behalf of the ballot svstem. tl leading arguments are obvious ; sin it alone can secure a pure and hone representation. This has led to il ubolition of tho old viva voc* syste here; so that the vote by ballot is ll universal law, over the Union.
