Who are the Revolutionists. Tlie Radical papers are, as we expected, get ting up the cry that ours is a ''Revolutionary Ticket." This comes with a bad grace from a party whose Captain in Congress, Thad Stevens, is an avowed Jacobin, and who hoots at the Con stitution, aod who is always recommending all sorta c-f revolutionary proceedings. He is the true exponent of a party that is taking measures to cut down the white army of the Union and to organize a negro-radical army by distributing two thousand muskets and a battery of artillery to each Congressional District in the South, the same to be placed in the hands sf ''loyal" men, or in other words, in those of carpetbaggers and negroes. This revolutionary charge is based upon the letter of General Blair, who comes out flat for upsetting the Reconstruction acts, which are un constitutional, and, if so declared to be by the Supreme Court, the Executive has no opinion in the matter, but is compelled by his oath to see that the provisions of the Constitution are carried out, he being sworn to support the great charter of our liberties, and not the decrees of a Jacobin club. Moreover, the great .tide .that .carri.es Seymour and Blair into power will .bring n a strong ma jority in the House of Representatives, thus proving unmistakably that the people are disgust ed with the Reconstruction acts, whose object is to revolutionize the . South, and through it the whole nation. If a Radical Congress lias gone beyond what they ever dared to-propose to their constituents, it ought to expect that it should be called to account, that its members should be turned out by the people whose will it has disobeyed, and thf.t an Executive should be put in and new members returned, who shall carry out the will of the people, which, throughout the North has ever revolted at inflicting the rule of negro bar barians upon either their own States or others. The whole of history is full of examples of just what the Radicals have attempted. They are the money parly of the country that has, by its financial dexterity, appropriated to itself almost all the proceeds of the taxes arising from labor. They are .determined to keep the masses working for them till Gabriel blows his trumpet. In or der to accomplish this, they must use military force, which could never have been obtained from the intelligent white tax payers of the I'nion, and so they must got it from the ignorant nontax-payers, the negroes. It is the old Ftory of accumulated wealth making use of ignorance for its unhallowed interests. Yet this party is the one that has the effrontery to accuse its opponents of revolutionary tenden cies, when all that the Democracy advocates is t he reversing of acts that even the Radical leader Stevens himself never pretended to be anything but unconstitutional. Xorfo'k Journol. Congress. Jn.Y 13. Tn the House, under the regular call, bills wer introduced allowing citizens to bring fuit. ngainst Railroad companies in the Federal Court ; constructing a Railroad from Washington to Cincinnati; and many unimpor tant matters.

The House resumed the Alaska Appropriation bill, which passed, 11 1 to 42, with an order de claring the right of the House to participate iu making treaties. A Bill authorizing a temporary Executive De partment passed. Another Bill, removing disabilities, was up in the House hist week. There arc but few North Carolina names embraced in the Bill. While it was under consideration, the following proceed ings occurred: Mr JJutlcr, of Massachusetts, moved to in clude the name of James L. Alexander, of Cleavc land county. North Carolina. Mr Butler stated that he knew Mr Alexander, and he was as loyal a man as could be found anywhere; Mr French, of North Carolina, said the loyal men of North Carolina had never been able to find a. man in the State named Alexander who was loyal. Mr Butler asked Mr French if he was per sonally acquainted with the gentleman first named. lie had been told by an ex-member of this House that Mr Alexander was now truly loyal. V- M r Freuch said He was not personally acquaint ed with the gentleman named, but it was a by word. in .North Carolina that such and such an one was as disloyal as the Alexander family." July 15.

In the House nothing of importance was done. - fis The Agriculturalists in Europe are com plaining bitterly of the drouth which prevails .there. No rain has fallen in England for seven weeks, the ground is parched and the springs are becoming dry. Ou. the Continent the drouth is .more terrible. All Spaiu is a parched desert, and there aud in the 'south of France not more than one-third of the usual crop is expected. At Niomes most of the wells are dry, and the few that still yield water are surrounded by crowds of people and cattle. It 6eems that the famine .which .has desolated Northern Africa ibr the past year now threalens Southern Europe. Thirty-two hundred water-melons from North Carolina, intended for the Northern market, were received iu .Norfolk, ou Mouday l ist. Horatio Seymour, The people's candidate for the Presidency at the next election, is a native of Utica, Newlork. His father, who was one of the earlier inhabitants of that city, and a native of Middlebury, Ver mont, was one of the most distinguished citizens of Central New York, and at the time of his death, which occurred about thirty-five years ago, held the office of Canal Commissioner . Horatio Seymour, after receiving a liberal education, studied the law, and was admitted to the bar. Being possessed of an ample fortune, and having embarked at an early age in that career in which he has been so successful and so justly popular, he never practiced his profession. As a very young man he was the acknowledged favorite of the young Democracy of New York. His pure and spotless character, his sound judg ment, and hjs fine oratorical powers rendered liim, thirty years ago, by far the most conspicu ous of the younger members of the Democratic party of the Empire State. In 1850 Mr Seymour was elected Governor of New York by a small majority, over Governor Washington Hunt. In 1852 he was re-elected by a mijority of over twenty thousand. Iu 1SG2 he was again elected to the same high office, his term expiring-in January, 18C5. lie was, therefore, Governor of New York for two of the most important years of the late civil war ; and it is a matter of record that he cordially co operated with Mr Lincoln's administration in all just measures for the vigorous prosecution of the war, and received the thanks of Mr Lincoln for his exertions a short time previous to th.e death of the latter. Governor Seymour is about fifty-six years of age. His wife, a daughter of the late John R. Bleeckcr, of Albany, is universally admired for her intelligence, loveliness of character, and ele gant manners. They have no children. Of Mr Seymour's three slaters, one married Lcdyard Sinclair, ofCasenovia; another Mr Shonnard, of Westchester; and another Hon. Roscoe Conkling, United States Senator from New York. Gov. Seymour's speeches on subjects of great public interest during the last three or four years have been universally read, and have secured for him a national reputation. It. is not extravagant to state that few speeches of the present day have made a deeper impression on the public mind than these of Gov. Seymour. Tf elected to the Presidency as he undoubted ly will bo, by an overwhelming majority he will bring to the Presidential office talents equalled by but few of his predecessors. In patriotism and purity of character he will not suffer by a comparison with the brightest names in American hitrorv. Frank P. Blair. Gen. Francis P. Blair, the Democratic candi dateor the Vice-Presidency, was born in Lex ington, Ky., February 19, 1821. He graduated at Princeton College, N. J., and is n lawyer by profession. He was three times elected to Con gross from the St! Louis district in 1850,1800 and 1802. At the outbreak of the late civil convulsion he was the first man to make effective n sitaiiec to the supposed disunion designs of Gov. Jackson in the State of 3Iissouri. He commanded the First Missouri regiment in the first campaign in that State, and was at its head in the battle of Wilson's Creek, where Gen. Lyon fell. Subsequently .he was made Brigadier and Major-General, commanding in the Army of Tennessee under Sherman, and Grant in the Yieksburg campaign. During Sherman's march in 1804 he commanded the Seventeenth army corps. Mr Pendleton's Cordial Endorsement of Gov. Seymour. The following private letter from Mr Pendleton was addressed to Washington McLean, of the Ohio .delegation, before that delegation left Ohio: Cincinnati, June 25. Dear Sir. You left my office before I was aware of it. 1 seek you at home, but you are not there. I must say what I want by note. As soon as you get to New York see Governor Sey mour. You know well what was my feeling be fore and after I heard from him last fall, lie is to-day the foremost man iu our party in the United States. His ability, cultivation, and ex perience, put him at the head of our statesmen. He commands my entire confidence. Lj would rather trust him than nvysclf with the delicate duties of the next four years. You know I am sincere. Make him feel this, and that he can rely on me and my friends. ; I have a natural pride, an honest pride, I believe, in the good will of my countrymen; but OU, bet ter than any one else, kuow that it is neither egotisieal nor overruling, and that I am really anxious to give up the nomination to anybody who can get one single vote more than myself. Express .ill this frankly to the Governor, but delicately, and let him understand my views of men and measures as I have frequently given them to you. Yours truly, Gko. H. Pendleton. Washington Items. The President issued a proclamation, that papers have been received from Florida and North Carolina, announcing the adoptiou of the 14th Article. The adoption by Florida is not in accordance with the act of Congress.- After quoting the law and circumstances, the Procla mation announces the ratification by the Legis lature of North Carolina in the manner set forth in the preamble. - In every section of the country, the National "democratic nominations are being received with great enthusiasm with cannon, bonfires and illuminations. " ... - . ; There is considerable talk and some positive assertion of a third party. Fremont, General Gary and John Quincy Adams, are prominently named. Chase declines to co-operate in' the movement. Judge Fisher, from Mississippi, reports to the Republican Committee that Mississippi has gone Democratic by seven thousand, but claims that he can prove fifteen thousand frauds. Hon. Wm. M. Evarts is confirmed as Attornev ; General. . Mississippi. Gov. Humphries and family were ejected from the Executive Mansion at Jackson by the military authorities. - Florida. Private accounts from Florida say that the worm is doing great damage to the cot ton crop in that State. Alabama. Gov. Smith was inaugurated last week in presence of the two Houses. He sent in a message, which, in the main, is more con servative than was expected. He recommends in .strong language the removal of all disabilities from the people of Alabama, and bitterly opposes anv disfranchisement except for crime. Legislature of North Carolina. Monday, July 13. Senate Mr Davis introduced a bill to abate the capitation tax in the county of 3Iontgomery. Mr Moore, of Yancey, a resolution relative to the Jate Clerks of the Courts of North Carolina. Adopted. On motion of Mr Rich, the communication from Governor Holden, making appointments of Directors for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, was taken up. Mr Brogden hoped they would be concurred J in by the Senate, as tney were entirely satistac tory to the Governor, and he supposed they were competent in every way to fill the position. Mr Winstead stated that while he had the ut most confidence in the good intentions of the Governor, still if ihe appointees intended to dis place -Mr Palmer, the present Superintendent of that Institution, who had filled the position with ability and general satisfaction, he would look upon his removal as a great calamity to the In stitution and the State, and would vote against the appointments. Mr Welker endorsed Mi Winstead's positions, and desired to see Mi Palmer retained. Mr Lindsay took the same view and moved a further postponement of ihc matter. Mr Moore, of Carteret, thought the object to postpone was to pledge the appointees to retain the present incumbent (Mr Palmer.) He thought they should be entitled to act untram mcled. The vote was taken and the motion to post pone prevailed. The bill to incorporate the town of Brevard came up and passed its second reading. A bill to attach the county of Catawba to the 10th District was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill providing for the qualification of certain officers, recently elected uuder the pro visions of the Constitution of the State of North Carolina, was, on motion of Mr Lassiter, recom mitted to a special committee, viz: Messrs. Las siter; Sweet and Love. House The following resolutions were read and placed upon the calendar: By Mr Gilbert, instructing the committee on Military Affairs to report a bill providing for the immediate organization of the militia, the two races to be put in separate companies. By Mr Yestal, instructing the J udiciarv Com mittee to report a bill providing that bonds of public officers shall not exceed the liabilities or their respective offices. By Mr Gilbert, to raise a joint committee of five of the two Houses, to take into consideration the resolution of the late Convention providing for freeholds for the landless population, and re port a bill in accordance therewith. By Mr Smith, of Martin a bill repealing all stay laws to take effect on and. after January 1st, 1809. Was read second time, and on motion of Mr Sinclair, referred to the Judiciary Committee, Mr Sinclair, a bill regulating taxation of the corporate towns. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr Reynold's bill, making landholders respon sible for the taxes of insolvent tax-payers living on. their lands was, on niotiou of Mr Sinclair, iu defi n i t ely post pon ed . Mr Proctor's resolution, No. 15, instructing the judiciary committee to report a bill providing for a proportionate distribution'among creditors, of the property of deceased insolvent debtors, was read and adopted. Tuesday, July 14. J Senate The communication from the Gov ernor, nominating Directors for the Institution Ibr the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, was taken up. After considerable discussion, the appointments were concurred in. Mr Welker, thereupon, in troduced a resolution, complimenting the preseit Superintendent, (Mr Palmer,) with the request that the Board retain him in his present positioi;. Messrs. Cook, Sweet, Blythe, Ethcridge, Cot grove. Hays and Rich opposed this resolution and exerted their utmost to defeat. it. Messrs Welker, Lassiter, Winstead, Jones of Wake, ana Respass urged its passage; and the resolutioij was adopted, Ayes 34; Nays 9. Both Houses ballotted for U. S. Senators, anc elected John Pool and Gen. 'J. 0. Abbott. House Mr Bowman called up the bill pro viding for the establishment of separate schools for the two raceo. After some debate, the bill passed its several readings two dissenting voices, namely: Sweat and Morris (negroes). "Leary. Hays and Price, and some other darkies, would not vote at all. Sweat, (negro.) from Cumberland, opposed the resolutions of t he gentleman from Mitchell. Gentlemen would have to come down to facts as they were. The Conservatives of North Caro lina knew what they were about when they op posed, iu the last campaign, the ratification of the Constitution by the people. They knew that separate schools could not be had, under the pres ent Constitution, and be would defy any gentle man on the floor of the House to say so. Gen tlemen, who had colored constituencies, dart ("not go back to them and acknowledge that they voted for separate schools. Gentlemen might as well insist on separate apartments in the Cap itol to legislate in, as demand separate schools for their- children under the Constitution. Con servatives were right they could have no sepa rate schools, though for himself he was in favor of them. Harris, negro, of Wake, would like to know to what race the negro from Cumberland belonged. He and his friend from Craven did not , appear to him Harris, to belong to any in particular and they were as undecided Jn regard to their politics. He went among the whites of the State aud pledged himself to give both'-races separate schools, lie understood better than the ''gen tleman" from Cumberland, or the "gentleman" from Craven either, what the Constitution meant. For himself he would say that he was in favor of a complete separation of the races, colored Churches, colored schoojs and colored teachers; Mr Bowman said that he was astonished to hear such sentiments fall from , the lips of the ''gentleman" from Cumberland. With the "gen tleman" from Wake, he was at a loss where to class him; whether with the whites or colored, and at a greater loss where to class him political ly. He evidently was keeping company with Conservatives where he must have imbibed Con servative heresies. He was sent to this body by w hite men, who expected him to secure equal political and ' civil equality to the negro race. The term negro, having- veryv recently become offensive, he would change it, and call them col ored. His constituents expected of him to se cure them separate schools and a separate militia. J Hr Hodnett offered the following resolution, which lies over:;;"X;;(:'-' j:.'4& i- l- Whereas, by an ordinance of th.e ; Constitu tional Convention of North Carolina, ratified the 14th day of March, 1868, it is made the duty of this General Assembly, to provide for the" pay nient in cash of the interest on the public -debt, and whereas, the people 'of the State, in their present impoverished condition, are unable to pay the necessary taxes to provide the means necessary for the payment of the same ; therefore The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That the said ordinance of the Constitu tional Convention, entitled "An Ordinance to provide for the payment of the interest on the Public Debt," ratified the 14th day of March, 1808, is hereby repealed. Be it further enacted, That this act shall be in force from and after its ratification. Wednesday, July 15. Senate Mr Rich, from the Committee on Internal Improvements, to whom was referred a bill to extend the Chatham Railroad, reported favorably. Mr Winstead, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported a substitute for the bill ap pointing Judges of the Superior Court, Clerk of Superior Court and Chairmen of the Boards of County Commissioners, to take the privy exam ination of ernes covert, in the conveyance of real estate. Mr Sweet, from the Committee on the Judi ciary, reported a bill providing for filling vacan cies, which may occur in the county offices.

Re ferred to the Committee ou Corporations. House Mr Abbott offered his resignation as a member from New Hanover, North Carolina. By Mr Hendricks: A resolution in relation to the organization of the militia of the State. Lies over. This resolution provides for the separation of the two races in its organization! Mr Sinclair moved that the bill, granting per mission to the Medical College in Edinlmrg, Robeson county, to dissect bodies, which he in troduced yesterday, be taken from the Calendar and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. No objection being made, the reference was ordered. By Stilley : A resolution calling upon the Code Commissioners to frame a bill to sustain the 'Governor" in removing various officers. This mandate was immediately adopted under a sus pension of what they call their rules. J. H. Harris, of Wake, negro, called up his Relief Bill. This bill is only, in fact, a provi sion for lazy and idle negroes. Mr Ferebee said the House had better pass a vagrant law, in stead of consuming time in endeavoring to pass such a measure. Only look at those galleries aud see the crowds of lazy negroes, who lounge away their time instead of working, and then go to the Bureau for rations. Mr Downing moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Mr Ellis called for the yeas and nays. The call was sus tained, and the bill was tabled by a vote of yeas G2, nays o4. Mr Pou moved a reconsideration of the vote, when the matter was postponed. By Mr Pou: A resolution defining the power of the County Commissioners to levy taxes for the poor. Lies over. By Mr Seymour : A resolution to allow mem bers elect, who were disqualified by the 14th Article, mileage and per diem, while awaiting the action of the House upon their cases. Stilley wanted to amend by allowing mileage only. Sey mour moved the reference of the whole matter to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, to be reported upon to-morrow. Carried. Thursday, 'July 10. Senate An Act to provide for the quali fication of certain officers recently elected under tVic provisions of the Constitution of the State of North Carolina, was taken up. Numerous amendments were adopted. An amendment to the 8th section, proposed by Mr Sweet, caused considerable debate. This amendment disquali fies officers elect, who are banned by the Howard amendment. Mr Bobbins opposed it with great ability, and Messrs. Sweet, Cook, VTelker and Blythe urged its adoption. The amendment was made, and the bill, as amended, passed its third reading and was ordered to be engrossed and scut to the House for concurrence. The hour of 12 o'clock having arrived, the Senate proceeded to execute the joint order, viz: the election of a State Printer. Mr Moore nom inated N. Paige and Mr Bobbins nominated Messrs. Pell & Gales.- The ballot resulted as follows: Paige received 31 votes and Messrs. Pell & Gales received 5. Mr Lindsey introduced a resolution praying Congress to take some action for the relief of the loyal people of this State, who sustained loss by '.he destruction of their property by the Federal Government during the war. Mr Blythe introduced a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill prohib iting the practice of carrying concealed weapons. Mr Bobbins offered the following resolutions which lie over: The General AasemLlg of Xorfh Carolina do rejoice : 1st. That we recognize the radical dis tinctions of color, blood, ph3Tsical form, and pecu liarities of intellect, between the white aud ne gro races, and all efforts to destroy or abridge these distinctions are crimes not only against society and civilization, but against God himself. 2d. That the common rule, as well as the ex perience of mankind, prove that the white race is superior to the nogro, in physical and intel lectual endowment, and that civilization and its future successful progress are safe only in the hands of the white race. 3d. That the government of the United States and of the several States were instituted by white men, have been administered by white men, and ought to be administered by white men forever hereafter. 4th. That it is the duty of his and all future General Assemblies of North Carolina so to shape their legislation as to secure the rights of life, property and liberty to all men residsng in the State, without regard to race, former condition or color, but at the same time to recognize the natural distinction of race. 5th. That in carrying out their purposes, it is the duty of th:s General Assembly, in pro viding for the establishment of a system of Com mon Schools for public instruction, to provide especially -for the education of white children in schools separate from those provided for negro children. 0th. That in forming a militia system, special provision shall be made for organizing the white militia from the negro militia. 7th. That stringent provision shall be made, by appropriate legislation, to prevent the inter marriage of the white and negro races in this State, and to punish the crime of miscegenation. 8h. That these resolutions embody principles and a course of policy vital to the interests of the people of this State and of the whole Union, as well as to the interests of enlightened civilization and good and stable government, and all efforts to avoid or prevent a free, fair and candid ex pression of opinion touching these principles ought to be, and will be, regarded as unfriendly to the well-being of society. House. Mr Durham read a dispatch from the Hon. Nathaniel Boyden, stating that the dis abilities of Messrs. Davidson and Nicholson, members elect from Iredell, had been removed by Congress. Messrs. Davidson and Nicholson being present were, on motion of Mr Durham, allowed to qualify and take their seats.

II adesboro Argus. Mule Recovered. A mule stolen from Mr Jas. M. Gaddy was recovered in Lancaster Dis trict, S. C. A young man named Asap, a citizen of this county, was arrested at the same time and lodged in Lancaster jail, under circumstances very strongly implicating him in the stealing of the mule. John Hutchinson, (col.,) also con cerned in the stealing of the mule, is still at large. In tracing this mule, we learn evidence was got pointing very strongly to the existence of an organized band of horse thieves along the State line, having their places of rendezvous in this and Uniou, and perhaps other counties in this State, and in Chesterfield and Lancaster, and perhaps other border counties in South Carolina. The people and authorities of all the counties concerned, if there is anj'thingof the kind, should adopt energetic measures to break it up, and bring all parties concerned to punishment.

Governor Seymour arrived home this afternoon and was welcomed with great enthusiasm by his fellow townsmen. Bells were rung, cannon were fired, the fire com panies turned out, bands played and flags were displayed. The crowd was immense and heartily cheered the Governor, to whom a formal greet ing was extended by Judge Denio. Governor Seymour, from the steps of Braggs's Hotel, made a brief but feeling acknowledgment of the kindness of his friends and neighbors. Retiring within the hotel Mr Seymour said a few words to a company of children from the St. John's Catholic Orphan Asylum, who had come to join in the greeting. He soon after repaired to his residence amid the reuewed demonstrations of the people. On the route from Albany to Utica crowds surrounded the Governor's car at the principal stations, and cheered and called him out. He came upon the platform at various places, but did not speak.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Gazette says : The Radical fuglemen are now pouring their vials of wrath upon the head of Chief Justice Chase, and charging that he feels keenly hi3 appointment at not receiving the New York nomination. This is known to the friends of Judge Chase to bo untrue. He declared but a short time since to your correspondent that he did not desire the nomination, and deemed it un fortunate that his name should be mentioned in connection with the Presidency, in view bf the great questions which were being presented to the Supreme Court for adjudication and decision. The Chief J ustice remarked, further, that he would be but a poor candidate for any party, as his judicial position would seal Jiis lips on many of the most important questions of the day; and that his great regret was that he had ever al lowed his name to be used in connection with any office after having taken a seat upon the Supreme Bench. Such were the privately expressed views of Judge Chase hut a few weeks ago, when urged to allow his name to he used before the Demo cratic National Convention ; and now, if this gentleman has any feeling on the subject, it is one of gratification that he has not been forced into a position he was more than willing to avoid. It may not be out of place to add that Judge Chase recognizes in the Democratic nominee for the Presidency a patriot and a statesman, every way worthy to be the standard-bearer of the national party with which the Judge now con siders himself fully identified.
