Thank G(d. Richmond parson was not the only Juoge in North Carolina. On the 6th jAugmt, 1870, iGcorge W. Brooks, Judge; of the Federal ijourtfor the District of Kortli Carolina, (upon petition ot Josiah Twner, Jr., issued iftjwrit ol habeas corpus", dtrecled to Kirk, And it was well understood that neither 9 nor his 0ourt were exhansted. N On 7th August, 1870,!Governor j Hol tajen telegraphed to President Grant,; stat iing the lads and say ing : "Th$ officer wU be directed to reply to the writ,: that lie holds the 1 prisoners under my order, jttid that he refuses to obpy the wiiit. ll ;jie Marshal then call on jthc posse com i tatusr there may -be a cobflict, but if he ishould first call on! the iFedcral troops, it will be for yb'u to e.iy whether the troops shall be used to take the prisoners out xf my hands. It; isrjray purpose to detain the prisoners uulesf the army of the United otates, under yojur orders, shall demand them." ! ' I rhis (Jommunicatiop was referred to Altorneyf General Ackerinan, who report ed upon it as follows, of 8ih August, l870 r "I do not see how the IjJnited States Distract Judge can refuse t4 issue the writ if the petitioner makes j out a case for it under the hc.beas corpus act of .'1867. I advise thai the State au thorities yield to the Uiiitcd States Ju dietary." This opinion pf the Attorney Ueneral was telegraphed to Governor Ilolden by the Secretary! of War. i I! The triumph of civil Ijaw over diliiary fowerwas now complete, thanks to the nterfereuce of Judge Brooks, whom North Carolina can nevej honor toq high ly.' But for this iuteiference of Judge Brooks nuny of the b;8t men of the jStaie, men venerable fat age and piety, distinguished for learning and patriotism, purity and long public Service, innocent of even the semblancjc bf crime, would have been tried by a j Military Court, sentenced to death, tie to stakes and phot like dogs or desertjere But Judge Brooks came to the reseue, and Gwvcr hor Iloldcn became as powerless for evil as he would have ben had not l'ear pon so "substantially sstaiijed him by refusing to' interfere." AVe have been accustomed to say that he result of the election' changed Holder's purpose and put an end to his, military usurpation. Not so. The great victory; at the ballot box would Lave been barren of results, but for the interference of Judge Brooks Qovernor Iloldcn would never have al lowed the election to stand. He knew full well the stake hwas p'aying for.--On the 23d July, isfo, lion. O. II. Dockery, while on tlic train, en coute fi?r Lumberion, stated to a distinguished gentleman of North Carolina that while in Washington City Governor Ilolden told him "the movement had or'mnnted icith Senator John Pool, and "that he I (Ilolden) teas willing to follow where root led. Dockery. responded that he was neither willing to follow nor to en- ttorse the movement ; whereupon Ilolden- siaiea mat "tee must chrry the elecliph anyhow." His purpose j was unchanged until hegot orders froiji Washington to yield to ;the Federal Juiciary On the 11th of Angus, J870, Gover nor Ilolden ordered Colj Kirk to parol his prisoners. On the I5th of Augst,J870, John Neathery made jt forced march, Wiih a dispatch from jho Governor, to Iiichmond Hill, the hojne of the Chief Justice, revived that prnstrdtc public functionary, restored the exhausted pow ers of the State Judiciary, and had every thing; ready for the Chik-f , Justice to re ceive Jhe return of Cwl. Kirk and to dis charge prisoners in the Supreme Court rvom at ten o'clock on he morning of the lflth. But Pearson ca take no credit for promptness in this, for the reason that Juoge ikooks was already dis larginrp prisoners at aali.bury Jas fist as th ey suld be brought before him.

But ,,ey 4il wi narmieps at hia fcet The attempt l9; hold him responsible before the. people for what he did as an attorney, in the legiti mate practice of his profession as such, will fail of its purpose. No honorable man of any party will lend his sanction to that species of political warfare. All must see t iat inch responsibility on the part of attorneys most result in destroy ing all the usefulness of the profession. Let It be understood that an attorney is to be held responsible far all he says and all he writes for his client, and the ad ministration of public justice is almost at an end. For then no man, however in nocent he jmtght be, who was charged with an infamous crime, with unlucky circumstances against him, would be able to obtain die benefit of able and respec table counsel. As the retained counsel for Swepsbn he drew certain bills which he was employed to draw, but Swepson was alone! responsible for whatever of evH intent that prompted the introduc tion ot them into the .Legislature. And it Judge Mtrrimon had not drawn them, another would. Aud as it was the bills were very j much changed and modified before they became laws, and, that, too, it is known, by J udge Merrimon'a corapeti tor. It is not charged that Gov. Cald well, in the changes which he aided in making) intended to sustain any of the swindling j which took place under them after they became laws. He may have been unconscious of the designs of Swepson and Littlefield at the time. So was Judge Mkk kimox. Hia .whole life and character justify us in saying that he was the last man in the State who would have favored the passage'of the bills fr any such pur pose or with any such design. It is hot even charged that he favored their pass age at all for any purpose. He; was opposed to the whole scheme by which the State was ruined, and the calumny of his enemies, even, has not dared to charge him with any connection with the ring. He never touched an illicit dollar from that, or any other source, and never will. To his assailants we say, "ceaseiper, you bite a file." The good people of the State will pro perly estimate4iis character and his ser vices, and will render a verdict on the first Thursday in August that will silence the attacks of his enemies and prove most gratifying to his friends and serviceable to the Stale. For wiih him as Governor, they will once more begin to feel proud of their State, and their State government. f ' O- They will not then be compelled to point to the paat for the example of a Governor in whose person the character and honor of the good Old North State were truly reflected and represented. The Radical army of plunderers has been driven back, step by step, until it now stands in the last ditch, expebting with desperation the fierce onslaught about to be made upon it.

PROEiJdiNGSGS IN THE HOUSE. Mr, Yoorlices Gives His Reasons for Xot I Supporting Greeley's Nomination. WASiji2fGTONr May 13. Among the various bills introduced and referred un der the call of States" were, tho following : By W) R. Rbbberts (Dem., N. Y.) Diiecting the Prcsideut to intercede with the Canadian authorities for the discharge of the Fenian prisoners. H By Mr. Brooks (Dem. N. Y.) To es tablish an iron ship building yard on the waters falling into the Atlantic, and an other on the Mississippi or one of its trib ntaries, and to affoid facilities to the navy. Much of the morning hour was occhpk'd in the reading oT Mr. Kelley V (IUd. Pu ) bill, sent up by Mr. Eldridge (Dem. Ww.) with the title altered, the oljpct being to prevent the action on Mr. Hooper's Rad. Mass.) Supplementary Civil Rights Bill. Speech of Mr. Voot hees. Mr. Voorhecs (Dem, I-ud.,) rising to a personal explanation, sent to the t jerk's desk and bad read a newspaper paragraph from the Washington Republican, to the effect that he was hahing and hesitating as to the position he slmuid take on the questiou of supporting Mr. Greeley ; and that, as his Democratic colKagues were all said to be in favor of Mr' Greeley, he was likely to lose the f.ivor of the district whfre his voice had so long been poten tial. He declared that he did not halt or hesitate. He had not halted or hchimted when hb had not- More than fourteen Democratic colleagues in the House - nor did he now. If he coukl ever be tempted to abandon the principles of hi3 political life, it might have been then. As to the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention, whoever believed in the high protective tariff principles of the chief man lui'ht ! ! support htm, but he (V oo:he?8) would not Was he expected to support Mr. Greeley becanse he had beer, the life lontr cham- pion of doctrines which he iVoorheis nnr.N.J 1 W.. 1... 1 ' ' ' "hf"31" ' uo ,,e expectea, as a est- man, representing constituency high protecti port the great VVas he expected had been the all the land for "'a:u HICIIOIU18 Ol Uie Southern people 1 If Mr. Greeley's nom ination promised rcllelf to that blasted and down trodden section, there was m.t much which he (Vooihee) would not ' tnrpcrn In ntisnrt-n u l.l I i !

Was a i.ijj .i. . i t' ' . man fit to be elevated to the Piesidencv who stood committed to the doctrine that whoever desired to dissolve their connec tion with the government had an inalien able right to to do so ? That might com mend him to some people, but it would not when his subsequent course was call ed to mind. Some of the highest men of the South had told him (Voorhecs), with tears in their eyes, that more than anv one thing which satisfied them that they could have a fceparate system and form of government to suit themselves was the voice of the then victorious Republican party speaking throngh its acknowledged organ. Others might do as Uey pleased, but for him (VrfOTheesTand his household he wbulij not da this thingi ; Partiea :o be sneccstful must bo banded together on a common principle, f Ko otber combina tion of men was worthy of success." He was told that h's party desired success "gainst this administration. .'No one de sird it more than himself.- But there was something which was better than success. A great man had said that it was better to he right than he President,'! and so he said that tt was better to .be right than to succeed, lie: entered his protest against the atlempt to trausfer the Democrats of the count rj to a camp where there was nothing belonging to them. r M. Roosevelt (lk-m., X. Y.) asked Mr Voorhees whether he would 'Support the candidate of the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore whoever that candidate might be. Mr. Voorhecs replied that hwas not in the habit of voting against Democrat ic nominations. He believed that the geiitlea.an himself' would have some difficulty in answering his own question. (Laughter,) But he did not despair of euccess. His position was In favor of standing by the principle of his party, and he would vote for the man who rep. presented tho?c principles. He had no tears, however, of what the; Baltimore Convention would do, but he could not vote tor a man who spoke of; the Demo cratic party us that to which all the haunts ot debauchery gave tiine-tenths of I lair support.
