DEATH OF GOVERNOR BRAGG j, The announcement of the death of the Hon. Thomas Bragg will send sorrow and disUess throughout North Carolina. He died in thy city on the morniug of the 'lst instant, at his own home, m the full possession of his vigorous intellect. Sur rounded by a loving and distressed family, lie took his calm departure, leaving be hind him the memory of public services which are part and parcel of the history of lm country, and the example of a life', public aud prirate, which all mankind may study with profit. I For twelve months it was apparent that Governor Bragg was standing upon the extreme boundary of human Jite. It was equally apparent that it was only the outer frame work that was giving way. His mind worked on like an engine to the last. The mortal part of the great man was i-eeu to give way in the llolden im peachment trial, but the immortal part worked on wiih its iron power until the ptow was sent that crushed it. He is said to have died of the malady that Off the creat Nanolcon i-Mm-i-r nf tli. ! i o i "v stoniach.

From that county he came to the legislature, a member of the House hi 1842. In August, 1S54, he was chosen by the people governor of the State. To this office he was re-i leeter $56. In 1S58 he whs elected by the Legislature Uuited States Senator, which position he reigned iu 1S61, upon the breaking out of hostilities between the North and the South. As Senator he took a ready and active part iu all de bates of those eventful times. As Governor and Legislator, no cor fupt legislation ever eminated from him. jobbers, speculators and dealers in false claims against the federal or State gov einmeut Arnhd no friend in him. They shunned him as they would a detective or armed policeman. Honor, courage, fi tielity to friend and country, were 'the prominent traits of his character.

The luueral obsequies of this distinguished and much beloved gentleman took place yesterday afternoon at Christ Church, (Episcopal,) Rcr. R. S. ilason, D. I)., officiating. The pre sence of the large assemblage and the grief dnieted in almost every face testi fied to the esteem aud affection in which the deceased was held by bis fcllow citizens. G-r. Caldwell and other heads of departments were in attendance. The Supreme Court adjourned its resiion,aud the Chief Justice and Associate Justice were also there. At 3 o'clock, p. m., the members of the Senate and House of Representatives met in their respective Halls and, led by their presiding officers, marched in procession to the residence of the deceased, thence to the church, and thence to Oakwood Cemetery. The Superior C-urt adjourned in hon or of the distinguished dead, and itn presiding officer aud his subordinates joined llie funeral cortago. As the belli, tollgd out, the stores and business place of the city closed their doors not merely on the main streets, but even to the city's limits. We doubt if ever before iu this community was manifested such a spontaneous outburst ot respect for the dead and heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved ones. The "streets wore tin aspect of the Sabbath, but the counten ances of the pissers by were clouded by sadness, and it was painfully evident that all felt lhat the community, thesta'e and the country had sustained a great loss.

Bragg held in the hearts of the pepple. lb. GENERAL PORTER, the PRESIDENTS CDNFI DENTI A L SECRKTA R Y. Perhaps we ought to have paid onr re spect to this gentleman yesterday, in tlx course of our comments on Mr. Mud gett's testimony. The omission and post ponement were deliberate. That article wai long, and we were unwilling to make it longer. We could not consent to bury and smother in a mass of other muter tin grave disgracing charge w.hich we deem it our duty to make against that officer, who-e relations to President Grant have been for many years so close and intimate. These charges deserved separate attention without entanglement with oilier topics We then-fore deferred them until to-Jay, and will uow try to present them in such a manner that luey wnl challenge, nay, V.. .i.:. r i am iui9 Miaiu secretary oi uic r.-esident, this "rower behind the throng" is guilty of 'deliberate, wilful, coni-.u. falsehoods respecting mutters now under investigation by the Senate Committee. v e measure our words ; we a:c aware of i the gravity of the charge we make; wv I imHtTBt iwt full il,.i l. ...Ml :i ... I o" ourselves if it be not true ; but, with a clear perception of our responsibility I we charge that General Porter is jru.liy of j Julsclioods in statements he has made re latitig to matters now under investigation. We know where the proofs of this charge can be found ; we know that the proofs arc precise, unanswerable, overwhelming; that whenever they are presented to the m.l.l!. .1 ...:ii .1 . . public they will cover that officer with disgrace. We know, too, that he is cau tious and cunning ; that he has carefully abstained from writing letters which might come tc light and be partded against him ; that he has taken great pains to protect himself, aud still greater lo protect his offi cial chief, from exposure in. tho scandalous transactions in which he waa certainly, and his thief probably dipped and mixed. The proof, will be forthcoming whenever Porter has the hardihood to venture on a denial; but meanwhile we simply define our c barges. We will begin by recalling attention to the testimony of Mr. Mndgett, on which we commented yesterday, and call atten tion to the following extract, which we reproduce : From Mr. Mudgett's testimony. Q. Who was Mr. Leet ? A. I under stood he was an officer 011 the President's staff; at the time he came here to obtain the general-order business he was con nected with the Wai dupartmeut in some matters, as I understood afterwards from him ; the first time I had any conversa tion with Mr. Lcet was nearly a year after t Ii is affair. Q. Where had you the conversation ? A. At CI.irem nt, on the North Uiver Q. How long did he remain in the War Department after he went into this busi ness ? A. Certainly one year after the commencement of this business iu New York. O. DurillZ that time he icas rreeiri.'n from Bixby if- Co. this money for the use oj me general .order prtcilcge 1 A. Its, sir. Q. Did you subsequently have conver sations w ith him or othtrs iu Washington upon this subject? A. Yes, sir ; I was in Washington in the spring of 1S70, and General Cochrane called 011 me and said that General Torter fell hurt at a remark J Juid made tJiat I thought lie teas interest ed in jolts about the Xeic York Custom House, and would like me lo make an appointment to meet him ; I told General Cochrane 1 would be very happy to do so. Q. General John Cochrane, the acting Mayor of Xcw York I A. Yes. sir : be called on me in the evening, and said that j uenerai rorter xcouia Uke to see me at the White House next morning at 9 o'clock ; 1 told General Cochrane 1 would be very happy to go along with him; we teen t there at 9 o'clock and met General Porter; he told me that he bad heard that I had stated that I knew personally that he was interested in matters connected with the New York Custom House. Q. Were yon referring to the general- vnoifTja . tr ; 1 ioiu mm 1 l-a - 1 t ' n . . . order busit ess 1 A. Yes sir: I told him m 1 auew personally inal lie was, but J told him I relived he was .till, aud I would give him the reasons 1 had v : :f i ui.. . 1- . . action as I have related it herb ; leave lib the whole thing aa J have giveo. it here; that Mr. Lindsay: aaJdj he repre sented mm auu the President, avud wu ry active ; lie said, in the first place, Ae had no acquaintance with Mt. Lindsay j be said the President did give a letter to Mr. Leettbat Mr.'Uriuoell should give him the general order bnsiness, and that Mr. Grinnell had responded that the general-order business teas already giren to Jr. Bixby and others for public reasons ; that the Collector could do nothing for Mr. lett ; he told ine be wonld f stnre rae that neither himself nor Babcock nor Leet liad any interest whatever fat anything connected with the New York Custom House ; we had some considerable talk, but that Was the ch ef ; he Said lie had uever been in Mr. GriuueU'a office but once since Mr. Griuuell bad been Collec tor. ; Q. How long prior to that time, was it tlmt Mr. Lett had obtained the bus'tnees and had made the arrangem. nl tcith Lixbgl A. if was the longest part of the geir. Q. That this thing haa been, going on t A. Yvb, sir. Q. Mr. Leet had remained in the War Department reeriving hie remittance from New Y.rk of this money I A. Yes, sir. In this conversation with Mr. Mndgett at the White House, in ani. interview which Porter had solicited through General Cochraue and at which General Cochrane was present, To ter told two downright, palpable, deliberate, skulk:ng falsehoods, which are already! kuowu to every member of the committee to be falsehoods, aud which will be proved t be falsehoods by a crushing j weight of evidence, if Porter should ever dare to reaffirm the truth of his statements. The evidence to which we allude hi absoluely overwhelming ; and as Porter himself is not ignorant of its existence or its nature, it is safe to predict that he will never at tempt to rebut the charge which we so publicly, and with so much emphasis, prefer against him. .V.

The Ilaleigh Caroliniun of the 23d, says: The people ol North Carolina are anxiously looking for the present Legis lature lo take come steps relative to the debt of the Stale It is acknowledged by all, that, as it now stands it is a moral impossibility fur the State to pay it, but as to hat steps the Legislature shall take coneemiug it is the question We would suggest for the consideiation of that body the folio wing plan : Let the Legislature appoiul a Commit tee whose duty it shall be 1st. To ascertain precisely what the amount of tbe State debt is. 2d. The entire assets of the State. 3d. The best terms of adjustment that can be effected with creditors, and report the result of their labors to the next Gen eral Assembly. If thi U tlic befit that can be done we hope the Legislature will do it anil have done with tho subject. OKE HUNDRED MEN INDICTED. The' On ml .Tn.v ik- I.i.1 .r . J f w pwv U V the Federal Court ta Raleigh indicted one hundred men in Jladiaon and Yaotey eoqntiea for alleged Violations ot the Iva Klix laws of Congress. - They men will nf Course, be held ta bail (or their appear ance at the next term of lh Court iu Raleigh to be held iu June of this year. W doubt not, that reaaonible bail will bti all that will be required, and that do one will have to go to jail in dtfaali of hi. . Were U.oLhxwierw. Abould, nevertheless, advise all agahist whom indictments have been found to stand firm to go to jail if necessary uutil ihejr cases aie called, in the Federal Coirt. Yes, we advise ev ry man to stand his trial, and shew by proof, incompatible proof, that he i not guilty, bul, that this prosecution is for base political purposes. W e suggrst this course, knowing as we kudw, that the people of Madisen ai.d iancey area law-loving and law abidiug people, and will be able Io fully vindicate t ejischts when the opportunity offerr. e learn that Squire Dt-aver, Shepherd of the Radical hVk in Madison County, has recently issued warrants agaiuetquite a nomber of the people ot his county, whom he has bound to the Federal Couit on ku klux ehargvs. If reports be true, more than a huudred of the eoplo will have to leave their farms next summer to put iu their appearance at Raleigh. This will ruin oiauy honest, hard working pet -pie, and all for no good, except that the shepherd's pockets may be fi led for his services as Commisriouer. We say 44 for no good," because it is well known by even squire Shepherd hioiself, that the inctj whom he is arresting, and on blank warrauis at mat, are gutliy of no viola . ! 1 I ra. . liouB of law. This charge is made with a full knowledge of the facts 1 hereto: e, if we could bo allowed a word of advice to this Slu j.hfrd, it wuuld be this : Order no arrests uuless there be probable gnilt.
