The-only drawback to the anticipated capital
which was to have been made out of these dis
coveries, is the unimportant fact that these pil
lories and stock have for many years been kept
ly tjke North Carolinians for the use of white
violators of the criminal late s of that State.
t Wc thought that everybody io New England
knew that the Old North State has always been
known and dreaded by the whole fraternity of
thieves as the "whipping and banging State"
- They have no State prison there, but when they
"convict offenders of the crimes usually punished
in this State by iro prison men t in the peniten
tiary, they put them in the pillories and'stocks
'which have so greatly horrified the Radicals, and
: flog them most handsomely.
If any correspondent of the Radical papers
doubt the truth of what we say, let him pro
ceed at once to North Carolina, and then and
there steal a watch or commit a burglary, acd if
he does not very soon find out the exact use and
design of tho "instruments of torture," wc will
' take his place in the pair of "stocks with whipping-post
accompaniment," of which Frank Les
lie's Magazine gives an admirable engraving.
A hnrt. time hffnro the evacuation of Rich-

we think, to receive a sound flogging at the
whipuing-post. As more than the Mosaic dis
pensation of "thirty-nine" was awarded him, the
fellow was allowed to receive his punishment in
broken doses, lie received an instalment, wc
think, of twenty-five lashes every month. We
Fpeak advisedly about this case, as the offender
T35 needed here as a witness in one of the city
courts before he had "settled his little account"
; in North Carolina, and when an officer was sent
for him, he was politely assured that.be was
entirely at the service of Virginia as soon as the
prior claims of North Carolina upon his cuticle
had been satisfied. We trust that this simple
explanation will allay the unhappiness of the
negrophilists. Stocks, pillories and whipping

.Ap editorial ia the Washington Chronicle,
(the Government organ,) of a few days since,
. 6ays : . .
A very strange doubt or misconstruction ex
ists in regard to the effect of the President's
pardon upon the property rights of the party
pardoned..
It appears that the President has the authori-
tj of Congress for granting amnesty aud pardon
.for all offences against the United States com
mitted during the late rebellion, and that he

storing all property rights to the parties, even
where legal proceedings had been instituted,
but uot . consummated. If the proceedings ' are
begun under this act of confiscation ia any

WHO CAN TAKE SEATS IN THE AP-
: PBO ACHING. STATE CONVENTION?
j Many persons, loyal citizens, who are exetuuea
from the former privileges and franchises by rea
' son of their falling within one or the other of the
' excepted classes of the President' proclamation,
! have written to us and ask us'whether one who
' is prohibited from voting at the election, can, if
! elected as a delegate, take a seat in the Convcn-
tion? Our own opinion is very clear that he can
j not; for the reason that it was not intended by
' the President of the United States, that any per
1 son tainted with treason to the United States
! irovemment shall take any part by voting or
otherwise, in reorganizing or reconsirucuug m
government until the taint has been removed;
that the only way by which the taint can be re
moved from a person coming within either of the
fourteen exceptions, is by a pardon from the
President, and that no one is eligible to an elec
tion even until a pardon has first been Bad and
obtained. Hence, in order to avoid trouble and
lissppointment, we advise our friends who may
be so unfortunate as not to have received a par
don before the day of election, and who may de
sire to be in the Convention, not to allow their
names to be run, for, if elected, they cannot take
their seats. These are our opinions, in which we
are sustained bf every one with whom we have
conversed, and common sense teaches that it is
the only .sound opinion There are several of our
warm personal aud political friends whom we
would be pleased to see in the Convention, who
are to be pardoned and who have not yet filed a
petition. We hope they will hasten aDd qualify
themselves, run and be elected. .
On the other hand, any person who is loyal,
and who does not come within the excluded
classes of the President's proclamation, but who,
if he does, has received pardon, can take a seat in
the Convention, as it matters not how many offi
ces he may hold, either State or National. lial
eiijh Standard.

THE NEXT SESSION OP CONGRESS.
The question of the admission of members to
O . . . A I" il.
the next Congress from the Southern States is j
now agitating the public mind. With a law ot
Congress prohibiting any one from holding a
seat in that body who had been engaged in the
rebellion, it is difficult tosolvethe question who
the South can 6end; for there is no prominent
man alive in the Southern States wh- has not,
directly or indirectly been concerned io the war.
The first matter to be considered, then, is mani- 1
lestly, the repeal of the Taw, so as to relieve the J
South of the disability of being represented in
.the National Congress.
Will the Radicals consent to do this? That
is the question. We have no doubt there Will
be an intense struggle to keep the South out,
but the people of the North are 'more anxious
for the South to come back than the South her
self is to return. Hence if the majority insist
upon carrying out their plans, and closing the
doors of Congress upon the South, the Northern
people will arouse themselves to the necessity of
putting down the Radicals and opening tb,e
portals of the Union to every wayward sister who
comes back, casting over her the cloak of chari
ty and forgiveness, with the complete oblivation
of the past. The South has been restored to
her political rights" by the amnesty proclamation
and by the oaths of allegiance taken by her citi
zens. No further tests can be required unless
it be the test of probation, and that is. of course,
out of the question. The men of the South
who have conformed to the requirements of the
Government arc entitled to vote, and it is ab
surd to argue that they have not the powei to
select their own representatives; and it is a still
greater absurdity to say that these representa
tives shall not be received when elected.
No such doctrine can stand before the Amer
ican people. When a Southerner takes the
oath of allegiance he must be regarded as being
restored to his former political rights. He is as
good as any other citizen in the eye of the law.
The government must recognize this fact, else
why administer the oath at all? No doubt
President Johnson understands this matter, aud
if the Radicals do not wish to go before the
people in the pending State elections in a posi
tion inimical to the administration, they will
handle this subject with fairness and modera
tion. The President regards it to be as much
an act of disloyalty to prevent a rccuscant State
from coming into the Union as it is for one to
go out; and if the Northern States oppose the
restoration of the seceded States they are as
criminal as the original secessionists. New
York Herald.
Tue Power of Chloroform given In
ternally. A man named Anthony Duffy,
aged thirty-five, a laborer in Washington square,
was, on returning from his work, seized in
Fourth street with hemorrhage from the Iuns.
Seating himself on the steps of a dwelling, lie
soon became insensible, and rolled uoon the
pavement weltering in blood. While blood was
still streaming from his mouth and nose, and he
appeared gasping for breath in the agony of
death from suffocation, a physician appeared and
poured the eontents of a vial of chloroform,
probably about two tcaspoonsful, into his mouth,
and from that moment the hemorrhage ceased.
Twice afterward the remedy was- repeated in.
smaller dtscs, and the man was relieved, rescued
as bya miracle from impending death.
It is now claimed for this remedy that it re
lieves the chill of fever, sunstrokes, convulsions
and all kindred affections supposed to be de
pendent upon congestion. But it must, in all
such cases, be given by try; mouth and not by

: SPEECH OP GOV. B. 1 PERBY ,
In the Covrt Mouse, Greenville, S. C, on
Tuesday, August 1st,' on his return from
.Washington. " -
Fellow Citizens i Piave met you this
morning, not tc- make a speech, but to talk over
the incidents of my late visit to .Washington. I
started there, three week since, as your delegate,
to ask for the appointment of a Provisional
Governor, and the restoration of civil authority
in South Carolina. On my way I met a mes
senger from his Excellency, President Johnson,
bearing a commission appointing me Provisional
Governor of the State. This was xrn honor which
I had not anticipated, and neveraspired to.
. On my arrival in Washington, I addressed a
note to the President, asking the honor of an
audience for the -purpose of receivinghisiin
structions, and communicating my. views in
reference to the political tone and temper of the
State. After waiting that evening and the next
daj, without hearing from the President, I paid
a visit to Governor Dennison, Postmaster Gen
eral. This gentleman received me most kindly,
and seemed gratified at the account I gave him
of South Carolina. He assured me that the
President had not received my note, and very
obligingly ordered his carriage and went to the
Executive mansion to ascertain the truth of the
matter. In a short time afterwards, I received
a note from President Johnson stating that my
communication, the . day before, had not been
received, and. that he would see me at three
o'clock. In reply, I stated that T would do my-.
6clf the honor to call on his Excellency at the
hour designated, and that my friends, Cols. Orr,
Elsford, Villia ms, Bacon, and Messrs. Leitcb,
Grady, Gibbes and Blodgetr, would accompany
me. Wd were received very cordially, and re
mained an hour or two with the President. I
told him that the people of South Carolina ac
cepted the terms t)f his Proclamation, and were
disposed to return to their allegiance to the
Union. That from having been the most rebel
lious State in the South, I was satisfied South
Carolina would, henceforth, be one ofcthe most
loyal of the Southern States. That she would
reform her Constitution and abolish slavery,
give the election of Governor and Presidential
electors to the people, and equalize the repre
sentation of the State. I gaie it as my opinion
that the disunion feeling of the South had orig
inated in the parishes.
'The President expressed himself gratified at
the course South Carolina was likely to pursue,
and instead of manifesting any biltax or revenge
ful spirit, he evinced great, kindness, solicitude
and magnanimity. The whole delegation was
deeply impressed with the courtesy, dignity and
ability of bis Excellency. His political views
expressed to us were those of a patriot and states
man. He wished to see the country oice more
quiet, peaceable, happy and prosperous. In re
gard to the 'relative powers of the State and the
Federal Government, his opinions were identical
with my own, so long expressed in South Caro
lina. He was equally opposed to the centraliza
tion and consolidation of powers in Congress as
he was to the sec&sion of the States. It must
be left to the Legislature of each State to decide
who shall be allowed to vote in the State. Any
attempt on the part 'of Congress to control the
elective franchise of a State would be an un
warrantable usurpation. He expressed an ar
dent wish to see the Constitution of South Car
olina popularized by abolishing the pa'rish rep
resentation and equalizing tne political power of
the upper and lower country, giving the election
of Governor to the people, and also the electors
of President and Vice-President.
-On leaving the President, he requested me to.
call and see Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, and
give him the same information I had given his
Excellency in reference to the public feeling
and sentiment of South Carolina. This I did
in company with the South Carolina delegation.
We found JMr. Seward kind and cordial, and
gratified at the information we gave him with
regard to the politics of South Carolina. Be
fore visiting Mr. Seward, I had been to call on
the Attorney, General, Mr. Speed. He expressed
hfmself surprised and mortified at- my speech,
made to you on the 3d of. July. But I soon
discovered that he had only glanced over the
speech, and did not comprehend the tone and
temper of my remarks I told Mr. Seward what
the Attorney General had said. He replied, I
read your speech this morning attentively, and
considering the stand point from which you
make it, I think it a very good one." When t
was Governor of. New York, said Mr. Seward, 1
used to make speeches which were very severely
criticised ia Charleston, and I said to myself,
what the defil have the people of Charleston fo
do with my speech made in New York? I did
not speak to them, but to- the people of New
York. And I suppose, Mr. Perry, you intended
your speech for South Carolina and not for
Washington,
The Attorney General expressed a wish that
whilst reforming our Constitution, we should
give the election of Governor to the people, and
invest him with the power of appointing all
State and district officers, with the advice and
consent of the Senate. I told him my theory
had always been to give all the important elec
tions, . President, Governor, members of Con
gress and members of the Legislature to the
people, and relieve them of the trouble of as
sembling so often to make petty elections, which
generally tended to corrupt ana demoralize them.
I called oh the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
McCulloch, and was very much pleased with
him as a gentleman, a public officer and a states
man. 1 was furnished in the Treasury office
with a list of appointments which I had to make.
In doing so, I endeavored to fill all the offices
with men of capacity, integrity and experience.
I likewise paid my respects to the Secretary
of War, in company with the South Carolina
delegation, and endeavored . to lay before this
high functionary the true condition of affairs in
South Carolina. I regretted not seeing General
Howard, who is at the head of the Freedmen's
Bureau in Washington. But I addressed a
letter to him, giving him my views in reference
to the freedmen and asking his instructions.
The whole South Carolina delegation were
earnest in their efforts to impress the President
aud his Cabinet -with the impolicy of garrison
ing South Carolina with colored troops. I had
hoped to have seen Gen. Gilwore on this sub
ject as I returned through Columbia. -
The last interview 1 had with the Proeideot,
he requested me to write him. and keep him in
formed as to any difficulties which I might meet
with io .organizing a Provisional Government.
I said to him, 1 have already, Mr. -President,
organized a Provisional Government for South
Carolina, by adopting the State Government.
I have issued my proclamation, ordering all civil
officers io South Carolina to take the oath of
allegiance and resume their official. duties."
"Well said he, "you are a most expeditious
Governor." I replied by saying my appoint
ment came late, and I thought it necessary to
work rapidly. I farther said to hi tn that I
would have the State ready, avi'tb her Constitu
tion reformed and her membejrs. of Congress
elected by the first Monday in December, when
CongTess convened. v .
' In conclusion, let me say to you, fellow-citi-Eens,
that I am well pleased with all that I taw
and heard at Washington in reference to the
Southern States. Let us now do our duty, take
the oath of allegiance, elect good and wise men
to the Convention, reform our State. Constitution,
abolish slavery, equalize the representation of
the State in the Senate, give the election of
Governor and Presidential electors to the people,
and all will be well. Immediately after the
Convention has reformed the Constitution, the
Legislature will be convened to elact United
States Senators, and prcvide for the election of
members of the House of Representatives in
Congress. This may all be done by the first
Monday in December next, when the State will
be fully restored to all her rights under the
Constitution and laws of the United. States
