TllE WESTERN DEMClut, CBA&LoTfE. fl. c. WibUxw democrat CHARLOTTE, N. C. THE SUBJECT OP CONFISCATION. The Raleigh Standard is the recognized or--.nnfwhatis considered the estrcme Radical O t ,rr f Nm-th Parolina. and mere , V ' article from the fore we Dublish the following articl o. r. rA nf letting our readers UWUuaiu tui tut - w Raleigh Our object is to give our readers cor- . rect information and let them understand the ' ouestions discussed by the two parties in ibis ' quesuouo j State. It will be seen that the Standard makes an extract from the Newbern Republican and then remarks on the subject mentioned, not at all favoring confiscation : "When the late Republican Convntion at Raleigh 13 charged with having approved of confiscaiion be cause certain resolutions introduced by the com mittee were voted down, there ii no more pointed answer to make as to the absolute falsity of such an accusation, than by reference to the uncondi tional endorsement on the part of said body of the policy and measures of Congress." Xewbetn IU jiulliean. Our friend of the Republican is certainly cor rect in this view. There is no confiscation in the reconstruction measures. Indeed, the only way to avoid coi5scatiou by the enforcement of the law of on that subject, is to carry out those measures in good faith, and thus restore the State to the Union. There is no confisca tion in any State platform of the Republican party of the Northern, Eastern, or Western States. There is no confiscation in any docu ment issued to the people by the Republican members of Congrofcs, or by the standing Com mittee in Washington which acts for the Cou gress. Leading Republicans of both races have epoken in various parts of this State, under the auspices of the national Republican party, and not one of tnem has advocated confiscation. It is true, Mr Senator Wilson very properly de clared that if any landholder or employer should discharge a tenant or employee tor voting his f-entimeots at the polls, then and in that case the estate of such a person should be confiscated, but he did tiot go beyond this. Wherefore, then, tht3 cry about confi-cation? Because the Convention did not expressly denounce it? There were many things it did not specifically or expressly take ground for or against. If it had set out in full all its views in detail on every question, the platform would have tilled all the columns ot the btandard. Jut the progress ol this discussion, which has been forced upon us, renders it our duty to speak with more plain ness than heretofore. There was a Committee on Platform and Resolutions consisting of John Pool, Ryroo Lafliu, K R Brink, C R Thomas, J W Hood, James Sinclair, D R Goodloe, Jas II Harris, Henderson Adam?, Wyatt Outlaw, C J Cowles, J T Schenck, C h Harris, John A Dula, R P Dick and A 11 Galloway. This was an able Committee. Its report is understood to have been made unanimously. Was the re port defended? Were any reasons urged by the members of the Committee (with one or two exceptions,) or by the Chairman of the Com mittee, why the entire report should be adopted? No. It is not surprising, therefore, that that part of the report which was supposed to need defence, and was not defended, was voted down We bold that those gentlemen who are now protesting against the action of the Convention, declaring they will not submit to its organize tion, and will not "serve" the party on the basis laid down in March and September, owed it to the Convention aud to their own convic tions and purporcs to speak out in the Conven tion, first for the report as an entirety; and then, being miuded to pursue the course tjjey have, it was due to candor and good faith be tween Republicans that then aud there they 6hould have said so. But the Republican party is not worthy of confidence, it is said, because, refusing to go beyond the reconstruction measures, it declared for confiscation ? By negative it took positive action. We leave it to every candid person to fay what it is worth. We now state, in reply, that the only person of high official consideration who is on record in this State for confiscation, is President John son, the idol and leader of the so called Con servatives of this State. Iu his proclamation of the 29th May, 18G3, appointing the writer of this Provisional Governor of this State, be ordered "That the District Judge for the Judicial District in which North Carolina is included, proceed to hold Courts within said State, iu accordance with the provisions of he act of Congress. The Attor ney General will instruct the proper officers to libel and bring to judgment, confiscation and sale all property subject to confiscation, and enforce the administration of justice within said State in all matters within the cognizance and jui isdictioa of the Federal Courts." By the act of 18G2, which is still in force, two thirds of all the property in this State was and is liable to confiscation and sale. Was this or der of the President enforced ? No. Did the Provisional Governor urge its enforcement ? No. Did he not, on the contrary, do all he could to restore to the former Owners the forfeited prop erty of corporations ? He did. Did he not la bor, most earnestly and anxiously, to restore the ! Mate under the President's plan, and mean-while did he not avert confiscation, thus ordered by the President ? He diJ. Did he not, when the j President's plan failed, urge the acceptance of; the Howard amendment, though it excluded him J from office? He did. The Howard amendment I . . . -.Ill r liait)r leen reiected. does he not now. fur the Hike of the L nion, from his regard for the great body of the people, and to avert confiscation, most earnestly urge his fellow-citizens to accept the present reconstruction measures, thonnrh n.,. r . . : : ; - tier teiu persons formerly his slaves can vote, W- and he can not f He does And vet he is de- nonnced by the so-called Conservatives as a con- fiscationist, as a tyrant, as a "menu white man," j as an enemy to his State, as a demagogue who would sacrifice every thing to his own interests t .11 !.; 9 i And now, gentleman, soWled Conservatives ' and professed Republicans who are warrin on j the late Republican State Convention o ! know ichat vou are doinn .?

The liraDch Mint at Charlotte, N. C-, will soon be put iu full condition for assaying. Dr Jones, the Assayor, now here, represents the receipts frunj mines in that section on the increase. There is a strong pressure bearing to secure a modification of the recently promulgated cot ton regulations. Numerous letters representing the routine for obtaioing permits to be imprac ticable in many instances, and generally incon venient, have been received. The Treasury Department has the matter under consideration. The report of the Commissioner of Agricul ture for August and September represents the wheat ciop to be not as large as anticipated in July. The corn promises to be a fair crop, if the frosts do not injure it. James M. Murphy, a Nashville negro, has been appointed by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the U. S. Senate a member of the capitol police force. The friends of Speaker Colfax deny that he favors impeachment, despite the sentiments ex pressed in his lato Worcester, Ohio, speech." Advices from Iowa indicate serious Gcrmin defections from the Radicals Well posted He publicans, though, are connMent of the State, though they apprehend heavy losses. Positive information has been received here that persons in Alabama, pardoned by the late amnesty proclamation, have prepared cases for litigatioo in the civil courts, to determine their tight to register, which right has been refused them by the registrars appointed by General Pope. Extraordinary interest is felt in this city among all classes as to the result of the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, in view of the fact that it is conceded here that the contest in those States will virtually determine the tone and temper of the dominant party in CoDgress in the coming session, and decide whether or not we shall have compaative peace and quiet, and conservative legislation, or be continually con vulsed and kept in apprehension far the stability of our republican firm of government. If the Democrats shall succeed it is believed the Re publicans in Congress will interpret it as a re rebuke to their policy as developed in their re cent enactments On the other hand, should those States be carried by the radicals they will be encouraged to continue their work outside the Constitution. SOUTHERN ELECTIONS. The election in Louisiana, it is already known, under the reconstruction acts of Congress, took place on Friday and Saturday, 27th and 28th September. 1 hat in Alabama commenced on Tuesday, and will be completed today. Vir ginia votes on the 22d inst , and Georgia on the 29th, 30th and 31st of the present month. In Louisiana, the decided probability is that Convention has failed, for the wantof a sufficient vote to validate it, under the law, and that the reconstruction bills, therefore, so far as that State is concerned, have been laid upon the shelf. According to the registration returns for that State, there were registered 44,737 whites and 82,907 b' cks making a total of 127,044. If a majority, or say 04,000, of that registered vole hod been polled, Convention would have been secured. The blacks, alone, to say nothing of the Northern and native white Radicals, had it in their power to cast this num ber, with nearly 19,000 to spare. Why did they not do it ? Itnleiyh Sentinel. Later news from Louisiana shows that the State has voted for a Convention. l ii ii Taxes on Purchases and Sales The Wilmington Journal publishes the following letter from the Public Treasurer to the Sheriff of Cumberland, by request, explaining an im portant clause of the Revenue Act : Raleioii, September 25, 1807. Dear Sir: You ask what is the tax on sales by Commission Merchants, of flour, cotton, etc consigned to adjoining States.

Numerous official representations having been by the civil officers charged with the reparation thereof to enable them to secure obedience to their lawful requirements in the premises it is ordered : that the Commanding Officers of Posts have authority to enforce , the performance of labor fur the aforesaid purpose, whenever in their judgment a necessity exists therefor, re porting their action promptly to these Head quarters. The following rules will be observed in all cases under the preceding paragraph : Fi.st Commanding Officers shall inform themselves by the reports of the public officers charged with the reparation of roads and bridges, and by other means subject to their control, of the nature and extent of work required, in order to render the important thoroughfares, cause ways and bridges, in their Posts, conveniently passable and safe to life and property., and will announce in orders such works as should in their judgment receive aid from the military author ities. Second Such Commanding Officers will ob tain, from the proper local officers, estimates of the amount of labor required for such works, respectively, and an assessment of the labor re quired for that purpose, but not in excess of that required by the local laws setting forth the name of each person assessed, the work for which assessed, and the number of days' work required of such person; also a specification of the time when such persons shall commence work; and upon being satisfied that 6uch esti mate and assessment is just and equitable, shall make an order requiring the persons therein named to perform the respective amounts of work at the time and place therein assessed, such estimates and assessment lists to be open for public inspection and to be corrected from time to time, when the same shall appear to be un equal or unjust. Third That any person neglecting or refusing to perform the work required of him, shall be arrested and tried before tb Post Court, and if convicted shall be sentenced to pay a fine of two dollars for each day's work required of him and not performed through his fault; and for default of paying such fioe, such person to be sentenced to hard labor on some public road or thoroughfare, not to exceed two days for every day's work required of him by the local laws and not performed.

Qiite a number of cases on both the State aud Civil dockets were dis posed of. The most important result of the week's work was the crowding of the j iil with convicts, there to remain from six to eighteen months, at the expense of the county. This mode of punishing criminals for crimes com mitted cannot be long endured by our impover ished and tax burdened people. A portion of the military forces stationed at this place, made a flying visit to Ashboro, and there remained for some two or three days. One man was put under arrest and so held for some time after sundown. Rut when he was released and what be was arrested for we could find no two who gave exactly the same account. There is an other matter in which the military took action, which we think it would have been well enough had they let it pass unnoticed. We allude to their seizing of the poor peaceable citizens of the county, who had, from necessity, perhaps, been compelled to put upon their new home spun coats, old confederate buttons, and hold ing I hern in durance vile iu the streets of the town until they were all clipped ofF their gar ments. This created some little excitement among those who were so unfortunate as to have a confederate button on their outer garments. Most ol them retired hastily in every direction, and either clipped off the buttons themselves in a private room or took off their coats or vests and laid them on top or inside their wagons.

R., on Friday last, it was decided to let out to contrac tors the work on the east side of the French Broad branch as soon as the right of way was obtained from the land holders on that line, and Mij. Wilson and Mr N. Kelsey were instructed to visit the people on that line and secure the right of way. It was also decided to put the mountain section, on the Morganton line, under contract at once. The Board also ordered the President to open the books for subscription on the Ducktown extension, with a view to putting that line also under contract. The President of Ihe Road, Col. S.

There is in the possession of Mr Greenlee, living in McDowell county, a Rattle Snake with two bonis, which adds greatly to the repulsive appearance of his snakc-ship. Each of these horns is about 1 inches long, projecting from the head, just above the eyes, with three prongs or barbs on each. The horns curve towards each other at their points, much like the antlers of a deer, but, we suppose, do not present such a majestic appearance.

Ambrose P Hill say, in answer to an inquiry made him, as to what troops he preferred, that he had rather have North Carolina troops than those from any other State. He said that whilst they always fought as bravely as those from any State what ever, they were more submissive to authority more tractable Hence they were really better soldiers Our distinguished frieod also stated that be asked Gen Hill who was the best Ma jor General in the Confederate service. His answer was Gen. Pender. We were pleased to hear this, as it confirms our own impression, and what we had said some months ago in these columns. Q.en. Lee doubtless shared with Gen Hill in this opinion relative to our North Carolinian's merit, if we may judge from his admirable eulogy in his report of the campaign in which Gen. Pender fell. That eulogy ought to be engraven on a tablet of bronzy or marble, and placed In our State Capitol, to let future generations know the estimate in which our foremost soldier was held by the great Leader in our late gigantic struggle, as well as to teach them of what stuff their ancestors were made.

Lveu the magnitude of our crops will hardly prevent this. It i suppo sed that the yield will equal that of the most prosperous period, and that the quality will be fully equal to that producted in the two previous seasons In addition to the foreign demand to which allusion has been made, and which will tend to elevate prices, two other elements are mentioned which- will rtKoperale with that of the foreign de mand to enhance value. This is the fact that the present crop comes in upon a bare grain market, which, with the home and export de mands, will go far, it is said, to keep up prices alove the mark fixed by those who have hitherto expressed faith in cheap breadstuff's. Our authority states that winter wheat, which constitutes, however, only about one-fifth or one sixth of the entire crop, is becoming scarce, but that the great bulk of spring grain is yet to come forward. Receipts thus far are reported as back ward, and apprehensions are entertained that ''navigation will close upon asmall w inter reserve " The pieser.t close condition of the money mar ket, by which the banks are restricted in accom modating the grain dealers, is another element to be deplored; and it is asserted that "unless the banks of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia j respond to the demand for assistance, extreme prices of breadstuff's, as a consequence of inade quate supplies, would seem to be inevitable " The very wet spring aud the summer drougth are assigned as the causes likely to produce a partial failure ofthe corn crop in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and parts of Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa, which may tend likewise to effect the price of wheat, as is stated The oat crop is reported as a magnificent one, and the barley and rye crops-are said to be good. The Shipping and Commercial Lint's article concludes by saying "the general impression seems to be that it will require another good harvest in this country be fore we can hope for cheap breadstuff's.
