Convention Bill Passes Edgecombe White Government Hopes
A late telegram reports the North Carolina Convention bill passed the House 83 to 25. Debt adjustment favors creditors, sealing some debt at fifty cents in the dollar with reduced interest. The Raleigh News notes repudiation opposition, praising bipartisan support and NC’s frugal conduct. Ex Gov Vance garners strong Virginia reception as Congress adjourns. Public opinion cheers, as Democrats debate the Convention fate and Johnson and Grant politics.

Governor Vance and the Convention Question
A Petersburg Index piece, attributed to Capt. Samuel T. Williams, defends Governor Vance on calling a North Carolina Constitutional Convention. It argues the Civil Rights Bill may push white Democrats to favor convention, notes Congress and Arkansas precedents, discusses potential safeguards to state offices, and cites Southern political dynamics and press reactions.

Connecticut Votes On First Monday In April Contest
Connecticut votes on the first Monday in April and New Hampshire results will greatly affect the contest there. The Wilmington one sided election leads to a court battle as city officers hold over until ousted by legal process. The Land Scrip bill for the University of North Carolina passes the House 51 to 50 and will likely reach the Senate next. It grants 7500 dollars per year for a new lease of life. Boyd of Alamance condemns U S Senator Merrimon and calls for resignation. The House approves payment to Judges T J Wilson and Louis Hilliard for their services.
