Sickles appointing persons in each county to Register voters in this State. The appointments for this county we presume will give general satisfaction. Further orders will soon be issued prescribing regulations, time. ice. A Washington Dispatch eays that the President is considering the pro priety of calling the District Commanders to gether to establish uniform rules of action for the execution of the Reconstruction Acts. We hope the President will not further interfere with the matter. TlIE COURSE OF THE PRESIDENT UPON TIIE late Reconstruction Act. It is understood, in well-informed circles, that the President will cheerfully and promptly enter upon the execu tion of the Reconstruction Act of the last ses sion of Congress, giving if occasion requires, ez r licit instructions to the commanding Generals. The utmost care will be taken to guard against possible collision with the generally understood wishes of Congress. It is believed, however, that all the Cabinet are agreed upon the princi ple that the President of the United States, un der the Constitution, has no power to exonerate himself from ultimate responsibility for all ex ecutive action under the Government, to the extent that he 'Shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed." Should an occasion un fortunately force itself, or be forced upon him, in which he must consent to be disobeyed or supplanted from his constitutional jurisdiction, or else require his commands, under the law, to Le implicitly obeved, by the power of the army and navy, if Decenary, there is, we arc satisfied, no authority for saying what line of action the administration would adopt. National Intel ligencer. This is evidently an authorized statement of the views of the President, but M r Johnsoo has shown himself so utterly destitute of moral courage that we don't think it amounts to much, one way or the other, what his vtews are. We hope, at least, he will not again meddle with the Reconstruction Acts, unless he had the tw mi I'm ess to-do better than heretofore. He professed to have a "policy," but has never etocd up to any policy. Let him slide. The Legislature. The Charlotte Demo crat hope "the members of the Legislature will hhow their giMd ppii.se by refusing to assemble in Raleigh on the third Aloud ly in August." Now we d not pretend to advise the members in the pn inisfs. The last session of the Legislature was adjourned to meet again on the third Monday in August, and we suppose a right goodly num ber of the members will embrace the favorable opportunity of visiting Raleigh about the above time. Wilmington Journal. And the tax-payers of the State will have to pay each of those visitors six dollars per day and mileage, amounting probably to the insignificant sum of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars. What good can the Legislature do if it does as semble? I there the slightest necessity for such meeting J We North Carolinians are disposed to complain of radical rule, but how many are ready to protest against the waste of the public money by our civil officers and law-makers. The people of this State have no power over Con gress and the District Commanders, but they can hold their State representatives to a strict uccouutability. The Norfolk negroes have resolved that they will not patronize nny merchant or vote for any man for ofiice who does not advertise in the Union Republican, or otherwise patronize it aocording to their circumstances or the business in which the' are engaged. Exchange Paper. Now, suppose all the white people in Norfolk were to resolve that they would not patronize or employ any negro engaged in such movements as the one mentioned above, would it not impoverish and starve out the colored man ? And suppose that the white people resolved also, that they would not patronize any merchant who did ad vertise in the Union Republican." Some tools can be made to cut both ways, and had better not be foolishly handled. Mecklexburo Female College. The Com mencement Exercises of this Institution were be gun last week, and will be closed to-day (Monday) by an Address by C- Dowd, Esq., in the forenoon, and an Address by Rev. Dr. Craven this evening at 8 p. m., and a musical entertaiumeut by the pupils. On yesterday (Sunday) Dr. Craven delivered the Annual Sermon in the Chapel of the College, which was listened to by a largo audience. The speaker evinced much originality and depth of thought in his discourse, and enforced practical and christian duties by arguments that were striking and instructive. A Rumor. The Norfolk papers say a rumor prevails there that Gen. Sickles has issued an .order prohibiting the exportation of corn from STorth Carolina. If such an order has been issued, we have Jieard nothing of it up here. . CPWe tender our thanks to Gen. W. C. ileans. of Cabarrus county, for a basket of very nice fruit some of ths largest peaches we have ver seen. tF"Last week a gentleman called at our Office and got the packet of Democrats for Providence P.

This College is located at Due West, S. C, and is under the patronage of the Associate Reformed Church (sometimes called 'SecedersM). We learn that the com mencement Exercises occurred on the 10th inst., and were attended by a large audience of ladies and gentlemen. Attached to the institution is a Theological Seminary where several prominett Ministers received instruction. We learn that the Board of Trustees conferred the Degree of D. D. on Rev. A. W. Miller, of this City a compliment well deserved. The President's Veto Message. We deem it unnecessary to fill our columns with the Message of President Johnson vetoing the new Reconstruction Bill, inasmuch as it has become a law notwithstanding the veto; but we give be low the concluding portion, in which the Presi dent's objections are poiutedly stated : Within a period less than a year the legislar tion of Congress has attempted to strip the exe cutive department of the Government of some of its essential powers. The Constitution and the oath provided in it devolve upon the President the power and the duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed. The Constitution, in order to carry out this power, gives him the choice of the agents, and makes them subject to his con trol and supei vision. But in the execution of these laws the constitutional obligation of the President remains, but the power to exercise that Constitutional duty is effectually taken away. The military commander is, as to the power of appointmeu;, made to take the place of the President, and the general of the army the place of the Senate, and any attempt on the part of the President to assert his own Constitutional power may, under pretence of law, be met by official insubordination. It is to be feared that these military officers, looking to the authority given by these laws, rather than to the letter of the Constitution, will recognize no authority but the commauder of the district aud the general of the army. If there were no other objection than this to this proposed legislation it would be sufficient. Whilst I hold the chief rvecutiye authority of the United States, whilst the obligation rests upon me to see that all the laws are faithfully executed, l ean never willingly surrender that trust, or the powers given for its execution. I can never give my assent to be made respon sible for the faithful execution of laws and at the same time surrender that trust aud the powers which accompany it to any other executive offi cer, high or low, or to any number of executive officers. If this Executive trust, vested by the Consti tution iu the President, is to be taken from him and vested in a subordinate officer, the responsi bility will be with Congress in clothing the sub ordinate with unconstitutional power, and with the officer who assumes its exercise. This in terference with the constitutional authority of the Executive Department, is an evil that will inevitably sap the foundation of our federal sys tem, but it is not the worst evil of this legislation. It is a great public wrong to take from the Presi dent powers conferred upon him alone by the constitution, but the wrong is more flagrant and more dangerous when the powers so taken from the President are conferred upon subordinate ex ecutive officers, and especially upon military offi cers. Over nearly one-third of the States of the Union military power, regulated by no fixed law, rules supreme. Each one of these five district commanders, though not chosen by the people or responsible to them, exercises at this hour more executive power, military aud civil, than the people have ever been willing to confer upon the head of the executive department, though chosen by and re sponsible to themselves. The remedy must come from the people themselves. They know what it is, aud how it is to be applied. At the present time they cannot, according to the Constitution, repeal these laws; they cannot remove or con trol this military despotism. The remedy, never theless, is in their hands; it is to be found in the ballot, aud is a sure one, if not controlled by fraud, overawed by arbitrary power, or from ap athy on their part too long delayed. With abid ing confidence in their patriotism, wisdom, and integrity, I am still hopeful of the future, and that in the end the rod of despotism will be broken, the armed rulo of power be lifted from the necks of the people, and the priuciples of a violated Constitution preserved." Fertilizers. We have been told by some farmers' that the fertilizers they bought in the Spring guano fur iustance did their crops no good, whilst others are gratified with the experi ment. We merely mention the subject at this time for the purpose of suggesting that the ferti lizers used by some persons may have been adul terated, inferior articles. Some method should be adopted to guard against the introduction of adulterated articles. VW In Tennessee, a ceUbrated colored orator called Joe Williams, is stumping the State in op position to the Radical party. . Gooo. A white man named Bowen was re- cently arrested iu South Carolina by order of Gen. Sickles, for going about among the freedmen and making speeches which caused them to neglect their work. One of the official letters of Capt. J. W. Clous thus states tjie case against Bowen : 'It is represented that this Bowea issues what the freedmen consider 'orders' for them to attend these meetings; threatening them wiib fines if they do not attend; telling them that no charge can be made against them for leaving the crop; that these meet ings are ordered by Brevet Major General Scott, and promising them a band of music. This has all ten ded to produce disorder, and as this is the time the crop must be saved or lost, no time can be spared from it. The Mnjor-General Commanding orders that you take Mr Bowen into custody, and prefer such charges as the evidence in the cases mar warrant, in order that he may be brought to trial before a military tribunal."

Theirs js the only SuutJiern Bvok lluuse in New York. The Civil Government. We hare uniform ly advised compliance with military orders, but we have heretofore stated that we did not see . how a State officer (who had taken an oath to ! execute our State laws) could conscientiously comply with some of the military orders. There fore we suggested that it would be better to dis pense with so-called" civil officers, and let the mititary take entire control until the Mate is re stored to the Union. The Raleigh Standard refers to this matter in the following paragraphs : It is clear that the purpose of the reconstruc tion acts is to place every State officer under the absolute control of the military. An officer who has taken an oath to support the Constitution and enforce the laws of the State, can not, it seems to us, enforce any order of the military, for the reason that, as State officers, they have taken an oath with which such military order would come directly in conflict. They must either violate their oaths of office or disobey the military. This applies to all State officers, from the Gov ernor down. We observe that Judge Merrimon has resigned his commission as a Judge of our Superior Courts. A person of his knowledge of the law cannot have failed to be impressed with this view. A successor to him will be appointed by Gen. Sick les. This successor will be ho more bound to obey Gen. Sickles Jhan the Governor and our present Judges and Justices of the Peace are, but he will act under a different oath, thus presenting the strange irregularity of one Judge acting un der one oath and another Judge under another. The government should be either civil or mili tary. Congress has emphatically declared that the present State governments are illegal, except in so far as they are upheld by its authority through the military. This is the law of the land. It is the duty of all to conform to this law and especially is it the duty of all State officers. If civil governments exist, then, as we have stated, every officer is liable to be ordered at any moment to do some act which will conflict with his oath. But if the military be paramount, as we all perceive it is, is it not advisable and prop er that the State officers shojld resign, and let their places be filled by c:v as who will repre seat and be responsible t the military alone ?"'

The Mecklenburg Bible Society will hold its next Annual Meeting at Little Steel Creek Church, on Wednesday, August 7th. A Sermon will be preached and an Address delivered on the oc casion. Citizens of the county, of all denominations, are requested and invited to attend. The con gregation will take pleasure in entertaining any who may live too inconvenient to come and re turn home the same day. July 27. S. Watson Reid, Sec'y. i 1 Statesville, July 22, 1867. Editor of the Democrat : Please publish the following extract from the Report of the Ex amining Committee of Concord Female College : "We are persuaded that this Institution with its able and experieuced Faculty, its well chosen Library and apparatus, and its moral and reli gious advantages, is fully prepared to accomplish the great object for which it was established to give a finished education, based on Christian principles, to the daughters of our Church and country. It affords us, therefore, pleasure to bo able to commend it to the liberal patronago of those who have daughters to educate." A. G. HUGHES, W. W. PHARR. Gen. Grant for ?he Presidency. In an article upon this subject, the N. Y. Herald says: "That Grant, with the opposition of Chase neutralized, will cot. -and the united voice of the republican party is, we think, as clear as that all the opposition in the ranks against the re election of Abraham Lincoln gave way with the discovery that Chase could do nothing against him in State or national convention. With Grant, then, as the republican candidate, embracing the Chase division of the party, the littlo opposition movement of General Ben But ler and Wendell Phillips will disappear like that of General Fremont and John Cochrane in the campaign of 1864. The forlorn Northern Democracy, in this view of the coming cam paign, could not, perhaps, do better than to fuse with the republicans on Grant, so as to wipe out all existing party lines, together with the odious copperhead record of the war, in order that fairly and squarely we may have a new division of parties for 1872 upon the new order of things which will have ripened by that time under negro suffrage and the reconstruction and restoration of the ten outside rebel States." J8r The death of Judge Wayno leaves the Southern States without a single Judge on the Supreme bench. The Supreme Court is to be reduced to seven Judges, by act of Congress. At present New England has one Judge, the Middle States two, the Western States four and the Pacific States one. The complaint used to be that the South had more than its equitable share of the Federal offices. There does not seem to be much ground for such a complaiot now. Sm At an entertainment given some time ago by the representatives of the press in Wash ington, the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, who is a practical printer and in 1844 was editor of the North Bend Register, stated that the speaker, clerk, and postmaster of the House were all printers. In the Senate, the Vice Presideot, secretary, and sergeant at-arms, were likewise practical printers or newspaper men. 3f A lady in Reading, Mass., while convers ing with some callers, suddenly turned pale, and; sinking into a chair, exclaimed: Did you hear that gun ? It affected me strangely ;n and wept inconsolably. Her visitors had heard no report, and it afterwards appeared that no gun had been fired at that time on the place. News came how ever, that her brother, residing about a hundred miles away, was at that very hour fatally ahot by the accidental discharge of his fowling piece while gunning in a grove near his house. JAs many as choose may believe the above. Mill Burnt. We regret to learn that the floor mill of Mr Jas. R. Massey, situated on the Catawba River, was destroyed by are on tne morning of the 18th inst. It is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. A considerable quantity of grain was also consumed. Estima ted loss between five and six thousand dollars. Lancaster Ledger. Hon.

Mr Rayner writes that there never has been any thing like the present corn crop in the Missis sippi valley. It is promising and luxuriant be yond all former experience. Raleigh tbenUnel. . m The Washington correspondents are ex ercised over a proposition made to leading mem bers of Congress, by a Mr Abbott, for the an nexation of Mexico, which he intimates meets with the approbation of Jnarez, and the chiefs of the Mexican republican party. The latter fear, it is said, another foreign intervention on account of the execution of Maximilian, or a continuation of the intestine strife engendered by bad blood between the leading military chief tains, and are satisfied with annexation, provi ded tney themselves can be secured to good offices in the country. Mr Abbott's proposi tions were received with some hesitation by Mr Sumner and General Banks, but other members, among whom were Messrs. Howard,. Chandler, Cole and others, received the propositions with much favor, and it is thought at the next ses sion some policy on the subject may be adopted. South Carolina Crops. Charleston, July 25. The weather continues fine. Reports from the interior of the State repiesent that the crops are promising. Riot in Tennessee. Nashville, July. 26. A reported riot at Rodgersville. One shot was fired at Etheridge, and continued volleys fired by both parties, in which one white conservative and one black radical were killed and seven mortally and thirty slightly wounded.

An amendment disfranchising all who volun tarily went into the rebellion has been adopted by the New York constitutional convention One conferring suffrage on boys of eighteen was rejected. It is stated that the friends of Jefferson Davis have purchased a house for him in one of the most aristocratic streets in the city of Montreal, and that he contemplates making this his future home. South Carolina Republican Convention. Columbia, July 25. In the convention to-day the proceedings were harmoniously adopted. The platform is the same as that adopted at Charleston in many respects, and similar to the platform of the lennessee radicals. A mild con fiscation proposition was voted down. An effort to add radical lo the name of the party was un successful. There are few white men present, except spec tators probably not more than teu or twelve. $3T The Chicago Times aptly sajTs : "The Northern people can rest assured that when a Northern man reports to the press that he has been driven out of the South for his loyalty, they may properly set him down as eiiher a horse or cotton thief whose absence was to be preferred to his company."
