port might pass its several readings. The rules
were so suspended a' d the resolution put on its
second reading, whereupon
Mr. Caldwell, ofGuillord, objected to the amount
allowed as being too much. He was clearly of the
opinion that del gates;could get along on a much
smaller per diem. j
Mr. Settle's view of the matter differed material
ly from Mr. C.'s and advocated the passage of the
report from the committee.
Mr.' C-inigland proposed to amenil by allowing
$5 per diem to the delegates and 7 for enrolling

motion by $6 instead of $5, which was adopted and
the resolution passed Its several readings.

Convention adjourn d till to morrow morning ilp
o'clock.
Gov. Marvin of Florida on the N egro.
Gov. Marvin deliverud an addrees on the 5th
lilt., at Quineey, in which he urged the equality
of the raoes before the law. He iosised that the
blacks must be allowerd to testify in the courta .
And we may here stale that this is not Strang? ,
as we have eminent gentlamea here ia North
Carolina who advocate the same thing, some of
them in the State Convention.
We quote the following from the Governor's
address, but would not be understood as approv
ing it : :
As citizens, before the law, the freedmen must be
Sr. n iuirrtfffs our eauals. I do not mean as a race
they are or can be mad" during many generations our
-wv.i. T An nnt mean that as a race they ara or can
be made during many generations, if ever, the equal
PERSONALLY ol the Uaucassian race, or can enjoy ui
.rr, onrial nr nolitical Dositioo. but that is no reason
should discriminate against
them. The right of suffrage does not necessarily fol
low, for that is not a natural but a political ngnc,
which may be granted or withheld, as sound policy
may direct. ...
Bat, that the Government may be csnvinced that
rod faith in framing a constitution,
the convention must, in my opinion, incorporate into
that document tne amendment oi ino vjumhuiwu
the United States, which prohibits slavery or invol-
notary servitude, except wnen xne spany a
dnlv rnnvirted of crime, bv due Drocess of law, and
which also accords the United States the power to
r . i i s :: Tf m. r& in MfnMt in reccs
Wng the complete freedom of the blacks, and in
' "7 I
. VI.
perpetuating that 'freedom, we shall hare no objection
to the adoption of th it amendment. Agiinst such
action ! have heard two onj-ctions m-g-jd, . The first
i, it wi.ald be assenting to abolition, aod we prefer
hiving, it forcei apm-as.' Very wll, it is forced
upon you by the Q vrament, aad.by accomplished
facts, aWl vou must coasent to it o you are a belliga
.rent, .Yunr cotBent must be pat upon record io.
tbe most- fin-mal, solemn and binding manner, as a
condition precedent to.peace and a restoration of State
rignts Tne secood obj fction is " we are uo willing to
impose abolition upon others." Yoa do no such thiag.
C ingress demands this of all-ths late insurgent States.
Six of them have already complied with the demand.
In no doing, they acled simply for themselves. Lin
Fioiida frame a free constitution, adopt the amend
ment, and you give evidence to the world that yoa
are taking steps which neither you nor your posterity
can retrace, and yoa prepare the way for admission'
into tbe great sisterhood cf States.
Furthermore, tbe C ostituuoa mast declare tht
persons of color shall be admitted as witnesses in all
our courts of civil jurisprudence. The law, in this
respect, mast know uo distinction.
I am aware that thid is a hard doctriue to many,
bat it is not, nor- nor never was such to ms. Sjtm
think the negro constitutionally a liar that falsehood
is marrow in his bones, and that it circulates in his
blood. Now that is not ttua in whole or in part, and
the statement is a slander upon both Gxl and man.
An experience of thirty years in the South has satis
fied me that the slave has often told the truth, while
the master has lied. All classes ot witnesses stand
before court and the jury upon their own merit ; and
their testimony, by judge and jury, is tiken for what
it is worth. They woufd no doubt perjure themselves,
but who does not know that every court-room is the
theatre of more or less false swearing? But we owe
it to the bounty of a wisa Providence, that justice is
seldom perverted by falsa witnesses. Perjury is such
a monster has so many and such horrid heads that
the hissings of their toogues make a sort of Bibel of
the witnesses7 stand," .warring with each other and
with reason, and with a thousand circumstances which
surround, reveal and guard the truth.
For soma years I occupied tha bench, and maay
are the instances in which I have known guilty par
ties to go un whipped of justice because colored peo
ple could not come into the court and testify. The
admission of such witnesses would have given tho
State prison or the gallows its due, and relieved soci
ety of bad and dangerous characters. I have much
feeling ou this subject, because the impressive and
painful .lessons of years crowd in upon my memory.
You know that the menial classes of all nations are
permitted to appear in court and testify, and in some
instances lords and nobles have been sent to the gil
lows on the evidence of house servants. Our colored
population are as well qualified to testify as them.
You keep tbe negro out of court, and what chance
has he for justice? dust none at all. The Govern
ment ad the world are aware of this ; and I do not
think Congrecs will regird the Constitution you may
frame as republican in form, or calculated to securo
the ends of justio i to all citizens, unless the negro u
permitted to come into court as a witness. I may bo
mistaken, but should that wrong be perpstrated, and
your tCos'itution rejected on that accouat, for one I
shall acquiesce in the justice of the decision. Tno
fact is, Wd have no other course left us to make a
clean breast of this whole business, do full justice t j
the negro, though he is of an iaferior race, and renaive
the whole subjict growing otyt of his slavery, emanci
pation and status, from the theatre of politics.
Fcllow-citiz-ms, during the past two years I have
resided at the Njrth, an 1 I thi ik I kaow the toao of
public sentimiut thera. I assure yoa thvt whilst a
u. kindly feeling prevails among any class, a stem
determination exists evjry whiw that slavery, in a 1
forma and phases, shall be buried so eteraally deep,
that it will kaow no resurrection. 16 is still further
their determination that the elements which enter
into the fou idati m of our Goveroirunt s iall b of
universal application, making us a hippy and pow
ful people.

Tor. Rinnrc op Freedmen in Mississippi. 'Gov
ernor Sharkey , under date of September 1S wrote
to Colonel Thomas, uommissioner ui
MLs!ssippi, the following opinion regarding tne
rights of the negroes of that State under the action
of the late Co-vention : . '
I have no hesitation in stating, as a necessary re
sult from the action of the Conventioa, that in my
opinion the freedmen can now sue and be sued in
any court in the State, and as incident to the ngnt
to protection of person and property, which are
fully guaranteed by the amended constitution, that
they are competent to testify in any court of justice.
Their privileges, I think, are fully i covered by the
principles established by the Convention, whicn

matter of course, any measure or policy which grew
out of that system.

RALEIGH, SATURDAY, OCT; 14, 1865
THE CITY.
A ' WARSiXQ; We learn that Fabios Chavis, who
once had thefBx of t m." c, bat nbw claiming the
happy, distinction of freedmao, struck one of the:
city police, the other night. He was arrested and
upon demand of the military authority turned over
to their custody. The evidence in the case was
heard yesterday morning and though the decision
has not been made public, and cannot be known for
some time owing to the official forms through
winch it has to pass,: we venture to predict that
Fab will go up a spout from which he cannot soon
get down.
The fact is, we have time and again warned the
colored people that though free, they were still a
subordinate class. We know that Gen. Ruger and
all officers and men under him intend to sustain
the civil authorities in every lawful proceeding they
may deem it prudent to institute and this with all
their power. sThe mayor, commissioners and po
lice of the city are in authority and freedmen who
think differently make great mistake.
The truth is, we fear, that a few bad blacks are
daily injuring the prospects of the great body of
freedmen. We counsel every well behaved freed
man in Raleigh against countenancing the worth
less and idle among their number. To do so with
sympathy or substantial aid is sure to result in
their degradation rather than elevation.
Eclipse of the Sun. Next Thursday, the 19th
inst., the centre of the moon's shadow will pass
over North America, causing a central eclipse of
the sun, the first since the 26th of May, 1854, ex
cepting that in Italy in 1860. The whole time of
passage of the central eclipse over the earth will be
three hours twenty minutes thirty-nine and a hal f
seconds. It will be nearly central at this Jocation
and along the coast as far as Charleston. In many
other parts of the United States the eclipse will be
annular or central. The sun will bo obscured with
exception of a small space, forming in appearance
a bright ring, but the obscuration will be so slight
in our midst as to attract but small or no attention.
The Drought. We had begun to think that the
amount of ifliquity here might have some connec
tion with the absence of those refreshing showers
wc are accustomed to be blessed with at this sea
son of year. But we have a note from Granville
assuring us that the earth from our place to that
point is dry as possible. They have had but few
drops of rain in the last two months and operations
' in milling are fast diminishing ; even the wells and
sp'ings have in many instances failed in supplying I
half the ordinary quantity of water. Similar reci
tals reach us from every nook and corner of North
Carolina, and accounts from further South are no
better. The fact is, in connection with the hard
times, the drought has alarmed town and country
with vague apprehensions that we are on the eve
of some dreadful calamity. We should be glad if
a modern Elijah could arise and relieve the common
distress, and yet we have every confidence that the
rain will come in due season. Let us be cheerful
and hopeful.
Quite a Scare. As a typo in this city wended
his way homeward, last Thursday night, long be
fore the approach of the wee hours, he was halted
by a man wearing a sky-blue jacket with bright
bution-i before, but minus pants, -on whose person
clearly the tnidnight breeze was fluttering a flag of
truce. Tremblingly typo pulled out( his only quar
ter and with faltering tongue commenced mutter
ing theonlv prayer he knew, "Now I lay me don
to sleep," but the blue apparition only wanted to
tell him that he had been robbed of money, pants
and a watch, while he was snoozing and that he
only saved his jacket by reason of brass buttons.

NO. 284;,
I Hox ,J8s.h Turner, Jr.,,at the Court House
flis bPBECH.rr-Plac rds posted about the city,
yesterday, made it known that Hon. Josiah Tur
ner, jr., an ex-Confederate Congressman, would ad
d ess the people in the court house at night. The
announcement attracted a goodly number of people
tor the place appointed for the speechification and
at the hour appointed the ball' wais opened.
The speaker opened with the declaration that he
might address them as fellow.citizens'of the United
States conservatives of the straitest sect were the
men to whom he spoke and with whom he had al
ways co operated in matters touching political faith
ad State as well as national policy and after mol
lifying the elements by a declaration that conserv
atives and dem crats had both erred, he launched
into anecdotical waiers and amused the audience
with his aquatic performances for some minutes.
He next referred to the action of the convention
endorsed its course gave in his adhesion to the
administrations of President Johnson and Governor
Ho den in so far as they labored to secure an early
restoration of the Union or other patriotic ends
but thought all parties in the South might yet find
"Jordan a hard road to travel." He had taken the
oath and as Judge Read and many old friends said
they were "g ing home," that was, back into the
old and glorious Union, he filed his n ituralization
papers in order to join the throng. But unlike oth
ers, fortune did not seem to favor him. At this
juncture Mr. T. gave an apparently succinct narra
tive of all the circumstances connected with his ap
plication for pardon interview with the provision
al governor, what he said and did how he endors
ed his petition and placed it on 'the list of suspend
ed cases, etc. He then read thepaper, very volu
minous, stating very accurately bis service and po
sition in the state senate, Confedorate army and
Congress, interspersed with an elaborate reference
to the causes which were productive of secession, e.
g., the resolutions of '98 and '99, Thomas Jefferson,
the Democratic Party and Gov. Holden. Nume
rous extracts were read from tho Standard ," then
edited by Mr. Holden, to show that Lincoln and
the Union had been soundly and bitterly denounc
ed, and the people of North Carolina urged to resist
the one and repudiate ihe other. He charged that
Gov. Holden, the editor, had been for ten years a
teacher of secession.
Mr. T. is an agreeable speaker and we regret it
was not in our power to hear him conclude. As
it was when we left the hall ho w-s still adducing
the editorials of'the Standard in demonstration oj
the Provisional Governor's change of front with re
spect to the issues of union and disunion.
We expect to recur to this matter again. So far
as we have heard, the speech is a mystery to us
except as preliminary to the formation of a guber
natorial ticket in opposition to Gov. Holden. We
shall soon know.
Ryan's Troupe failed to perform at Market Hall
