A New Stage Line.' -The Wadesboro Arv gus urges tbe importance of establishing a stage line between Charlotte and the head of the Wil. Char. & Rutherford Railroad, at some point in Richmond county. The distance is about eighty miles, and the Argus thinks it could be traveled in 2$ hours thus giving the people of ibis part of the State almost direct communication with -Wilmington, at less traveling expenses. Such a stage line, via .Monroe, Wadesboro, and Rockingham, we think would pay hand-, somely, besides affording great convenience to the people along the line. The revenue from passengers and mail pay would make it a profit able business to some one who would carry out the suggestion. ' - The official vote for Governor in this State, as counted, by the Legislature, gives 2lr Worth a majority of .5,989. Mr Holden carried thirty-five counties, and Mr Worth fifty-four. Of the scattering votes, "Z B Vance' received 132, and It F IIoke 22. Mr Worth cannot enter on the discharge of his duties until the President discontinues the Provisional Government, which we do not be lieve will be done within the next 12 months. J6ST"-Gen. Grant, in his official report of the late campaigns of the war, gives Gen. Butler his dues by showing that he was unfit for any of the positions ho occupied. Butler is charged with impertinent assumption of authority, viola tion of orders, and tbe grossest incapacity ; and his removal was finally demanded. Grant be stows particular praise on Sherman, Sheridan, Schofield, and Thomas. In speaking of the surrender of Gen Lee's army, Gen. Grant says : "Gen. Lee's great influence throughout the whole South caused his example to be followed, and the result is that the armies lately under his leadership are at their homes, desiring peace and quiet." It is said that the - family of fyurbides, in jiexico, have sold their title to the Mexican throne to Maximillian, the latter to pay to the heirs one hundred thousand dollars each. Itur bide was the first Emperor of Mexico, but was dethroned by a revolution and afterwards execu ted. It is very doubtful ' whether the children of Iturbide have any more '"right, to the Mexican throne than any other individual.. If Maximil lian can maintain a permanent government in Mexico it jvill be better for the people of " that country and for the world. Provisional Attorney-General We learn that Gov. Holden has appointed Hon. Sion II. Rogers Provisional Attorney-General of this State. This appointment is peculiarly appropriateas 'Mr Rogers has just been elected Attorney-General by the Legislature, to take ef f'ecr iit tbe expiration of the Provisional govern ment. We have heard it intimated that it is the in tention of the Governor, if the Provisional gov ernment should be continued for any consider able length of time, to stait as far as may be in his power the whole machinery of the Courts of the State. In this ejent .the 'Governor will most probably request the Supreme Court just elected by the Legislature to act as a Provis- ional Supreme Court. Raleigh Standard. .

The tax for the counties of Wake, Johnson, Wavne and Craven f has already been eolieeted, ana otner commiB- I sioners are now at work in more distant parts of the btate". . . - The direct tax on land is eighty cents on (h hundred dollars, and tbe appraisement oi pro- perty of IbbU is taken as the basis o: asses cessment of this tax.' ; This tax is to bo collected for only one-year. . ' ' ' ' . 1 ' Tbe'Riebmond Times announcing the arrival of the direct tax collector in .that city, says : The announcement above referred to was the very first information, that our people had that there was such a thing as a direct tax imposed by the United . States. Good, easy men, they had" dreamed full surely that the prompt and regular payment of the internal revenue imposts discharged all the claims of the Government, when the announcement of the arrival of the direct tax agent undeceived them not agreeably. Ihe direct tax is a stern reality, as un u us mat, uh.e ouauce ouauow, own Kiana ana Deeves shall soon hod. . 1 his being the case, tbe history -ot the tax ana the amounts to be paid by the different South ero" States is matter of interest. All that it is important to know on the subjects, except the exact amount to be paid by each individual, and the exact day upon which" he is required to have that amount ready, is contained in the following paragraph which we take from a Northern paper. The paper predicts that the tax will "cause'some trouble." The oifly trouble to be anticipated i9 the distress it will bring upon many of our "peo ple whose whole property consists in .lands which are just now lying idle and unproductive : "By the act of Congress of the 5th of August, 1861, a direct tax of 820,000,000 was levied upon lands and houses in all tbe 'States in the Union, those of the South as' well as those ot the North. The amount was apportioned among tbe States, aid full arrangements were made for the collection of the same by the usual machinery of assessment and collection. At the same time piivilege was given to each of the several States to assume their proportion ox the tax, and pay it at once. This, was done by the States not in rebellion, and the citizens of those States were assessed for the amount in their general taxes. Most of them paid it without knowing exactly that they n ere doing so. ' Hence, so little was said about direct taxes that the burden was scarcely felt to be one in the loyal States. But in the disloyal States the existence of the-tax will, doubtless, be well ltnown hereafter and cause some trouble. The following amounts arc charged to . the States lately in rebellion: Virginia, $937,550 60; North CaroHoa, $576,-19-1 66; South Carolina, S303,o7O 66; Georgia, $584,367 33; Alabama, 8529,313 33; Missis sippi, $413,014 66; Louisiana, $385,886 66; Tennessee, 8669,498; Arkansas, S2G1.8SG: Flor ida, S77,522 66; Texas, 8305,106 66. By an &ct passed in lcbz, it was provided that the direct tax should be charged upon all lands in insurrectionary districts and remain a lien there op, and. that where practicable tho lands might be sold for default of payment wbeneverposses sion could be obtained by the United States officers' Under this act sales of lands for non payment of taxes have been made in the South, but they have been few in number. Interceding for Mr. Davis. The For tress Monroe correspondent ot the Boston Tr.av eller writes : ...'' "One of flie privates of tbe 20th-Maine regi ment who settled in North Carolina Ifter the close of the rebellion, has reached lure on bis wayto Washington to intercede for the pardon of Jeff. I)avi, having travelled ' on foot to Norfolk. It seems that he-was found within tbe rebel lines, captured, carried to the rebel headquarters, tried and convicted of being a spy, aod sentenced to be hting. He asked to be allowed to write to Mr. Davis, and the request was granted. Having some doubts, however, of the intention of ' his captors, he bribed the rebel waiter to take another letter, and through a servant of the household of the rebel Presi dent, it'reached him. Tite result was that a messenger was despatched with an order for tbe Yankee soldier to be taken immediately to' tbe President's house. Upon his arrival the guard was dismissed with an order to return.. It seems that while Jeff, and wife tarried at PoVtknd previous to the war, this soldier rendered Mr. D. some service, which, he acquitted by saving the'life of the soldier. Now the latter is ou his way to intercede for his deliverer." " - A Great Invention. By invitation of Dr A. F.

LEGISLATURE. la the Senate, peo-fltb, Mr Bynum, from the Judiciary Committee, submiUed the following :r ,;s---tV.ts" . ority of the committee on the Judi - k:u c i . i. , report, viz i The maj ; ciary, io wnicn was xelerrea ipe joint resolution j of this General Assembly -teaching the amend- raent to ; toe Constitution of the Uoited States ratified, at the present session, and known as the ' mirteentn article, having considered the same, ! beg leave to report The General Assembly , has .-ratified the fol- lowing, amendment to the. 'Constitution of the United' States, to wit : "8itl T.- Neither slavery or involuntaryservitude, ttcept as a punishment for crime, whereof lb party I shall have been duly, convicted, shall exist within. the United States, or any place subject to their juris diction . . ; "r Y - - Sec. II.. Congress shall have power to enforce ibis Article by appropriate legislation.'.'- It js clear that-no after action of this body can change the legal effect of this amendment, or enlarge or restrict tbe powers of Coogrc&s, conferred either by the first or second' section 'thereof. The subject has passed beyond the ; COntrol or this body, and has become a matter i 0f judicial interpretation only It is plain to this committee and to the poonle j of North Carolina, and, as this committee be lieves, to every lair-minded statesman or jurist, North or South, that this amendment confers no poweV on Congress to legislate upon the sub ject of. freedmen within the States. While, however, the legal effect of this amendmcut is so plain to us, the majority, of the committee cannot sh'ut their eyes to contemporaneous his- toiy. The power to' legislate within the States, founded on this amendment, is now claimed, in arid out of. Congress, by statesmen and lawyers eminent for their abilities' ord .' ftrroiidable for their numbers, zeal and influence. Ihe tribunal appointed by the constitution for its own interpretation, has not always provCS a' barrier to legislative encroachment; nor can a majority of this committee undertake to fay that it win uereaiter prove a saieguara to me reserved rights 'fif lliA SfafPQ - ' Mindful, therefore, of the encroachments of power, of the momentous issues involved, and conscious of the rectitude of their own intern tions, the majority of the committee, in dis charge of a plain duty to themselves, to poster ity and? to truth of history, desire to spread be fore the country, in the most solemn form, the sense in which they and, as they believe,' the people of the State through them, have accepted and ratihed this amendment to the Constitution of the United States. They therefore report back and-recommend the adoption of the following joint resolution. Resolved, That by the Geneial Assembly of the. btate ot iNorth Carolina, that we have ac cepted and ratified the said amendment, in tbe sense given to it by the Hon. ui. II. beward, Secretary of State of the United States, to wit : that it does not enlarge the powers, of Congress to legislate "on the subject of freedmen within the States. . W. P. BYNUM j . For Majority of the Committee. A message was received from the House pro posing to rescind the joint order providing. for the administration of the oaths of office to the Governor elect when the votes are counted. Mr Wilson said that he had the honor of introducing the resolution, upon which the General Assembly had agreed to administer the oaths of office to the Governor elect.'. He did so through no disrespect to "the ProviMOfiul Governor, but from a sense of , duty. Ila be lieved it right and proper then. and he thought so now. Mr W. rad from the ordinance of jhe Convention and the Constitution of the State, showing the' necessity for such action" now. His only intention was to provide against the chance of an interregnum in the ofiice of Govcrnor.-r-Tbe Legislature had, by joint vote, agreed to adjourn from Monday week to tbe first Monday ia February. What if the Provisional Govern ment should end during' the reces? ? What would then be the condition of 'the State ? It was proper, we should provide against tbe con tingency, for no one knew the hour or day at which the Provisional Governmen miglrt expire. It was proper and legitimate that we should place the Governor elect in the condition to enter immediately upon Ihe discharge of tho duties of his office whenever this should occur We would be derelict should we fail. Mr Warren thought that he two Aouses had acted hastily in passing the resolution.?. Mr Leitch-of .Robeson, concurred iwith the Senator from Mecklenburg "(Mr; Wilson). j There could be no possible objection to tbe ad mimstratiorf of the baths.. I have not proposed I to inaugurate the Governor elect, but merely to J prevent any difficulty'in the way of his entering into the discharge of the duties of 'his office, should the Provisional government expire during the recess cf the General Assembly. ; The message was concurred in. In the House, Mr Manly from the Judiciary Committee reported against a bill, giving ex clusive jurisdiction of breaches of the peace to Superior Courts.
