Wc should not rejoice to see the property of the worst enemy of the gov ernment taken from him. and yet the testimo ny before the reconstruction committee and the propositions already made before congress to tax the people of the south, leading rebels we believe they have it, to keep up a military establishment in the south, is significant and portentous; and we very much fear that, without a radical change in the temper of the people and the tone of the press, property will be confiscated and forced contributions levied to be used to support machinery to be kept here to extort that obedience to law which should be voluntarily given. And not only are there propositions before congress'to tax the people of the insurrection ary states to keep troops over these people’ butit is further argued that the pardons Granted by the executive are worthless and that they will be, sooner or later, declared null and void. The testimony before the reconstruction committee is all against us; all who have been called to testify express the belief that the loyalists are in the minority, and hence congress and the people of the north are prei- udiced against us. It don’t matter what our feelings, opinions, or sympathies are, these are the charges against us and this is the truth. What then? Shall wc be violent and denun ciatory, and thus widen the breach, or shall wc be conciliatory and harmonizing? We have no privileges, and we have no rights, until we shall be invested with them by the govern ment. If then there are disloyal persons among us, or persons who arc in any way bad ly affected towards the government, instead of denouncing and abusing them let us by gen tle and persuasive means try to convince them of their error, and induce them to do better. Much as we desire to sec universal pardon proclaimed, and to know that every citizen ; has had his property restored to him, we must j say that there are more symptoms of a dispo- j sition on the part of those in authority to con- | fiscate property now than at any former period j and that we do not consider either the person® or propert y of those who have been conspicu- | ous in the prosecution of the rebellion against ■ the government, as at all safe. The bearing of j many that have been pardoned and who have | had property restored has been such, too, that i if they get into trouble - again they will not | find prominent Union men as ready to help them as before. We should be glad to know that there was to be no more punishment for political offences committed during the war, ■ and that no man’s property was to be confis cated; and if all our people would do right there would be no more of cither; but as things at present stand and without a radical change in public sentiment at the south, we shall have enough of both. Gone ! . The legislature adjourned sine die this morn ing, and most of the members are already far on theirway to their homes, which we trust they will all reach in safety. A few still lin ger, some to settle up private business, others to take leave of friends, and others again to attend the “great moral exhibition” to be giv en to-night. We think the Assembly has left undone many thingsrthat ought to have been done, that they have done some things that ought not to have been done and that too much time has been consumed in usasless discusion: and yet wc are disposed to be charitable and to believe that others might have done worse. We trust that health and prosperity may at tend them all, and that, imperfectly as-we be lieve they have discharged their duties, they may live to see the work of restoration com pleted and the people of North Carolina once more atpeace and again prosperous and happy. j IF the President of the United States should die suddenly, we should attribute his death to the inflictions of committees seeking inter views. On an average there is about two a day, to each and all of which the President has to give audience and make a speech.— And these committees worry and annoy the President on every conceivable subject, unim portant as well as important ; and wc shall not be surprised at any moment to learn by telegraph that a committee of the butchers, roughs, or sports from New York or Baltimore have called. The President is one of the hardest worked men in the country, his hands and brain being constantly employed, and if people want to strengthen his hands and sustain his policy, let them stay away from him and give him an opportunity to quietly attend to those pub lic duties that cannot be neglected. The com mittee mania has become a humbug, a nui sance, and if not stopped we hope, the Presi dent will stop it. THE DAILY PROGRESS. Vol. VII, No. 89. RALEIGH, X. C., MONDAY AFTERNOON. MARCH 12. 1866.

Washington correspondents writing on ly give us the following: pardons. The report of the Attorney-General relative to pardons is now almost completed. The re port comprehends only those persons included in the 13th exception or $20,000 clause. There will probably be from 13,000 to 15,000 of this class,and under other exceptions there are about as many more, making from 25,000 to 30,000 pardons already issued. Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina lead the other Southern States in the number of those who have received Executive clemency. Only a few Rebel officers of high rank have been pardoned, and hardly any Southerners educated at West I Point, who deserted the United States service I to enter the Confederate army. It is not gener- ally understood that women in the South own- term for one fourth ot the remainder ot the . j n g property require pardon and that a large sum recovered and interest thereon ; and upon i number of this class have applied for and re- said return it shall be the duty of the clerk, ; ce j ve j Executive clemency. It may not be ini- sixty days before that term of the Court which | proper to state that the property of loyal South- is held twelve months after said return, to is- ; ern residents has been restored in but few in sue executions as aforesaid for one half of the I stances, remainder of the sum recovered and inter- ! est thereon; and upon said return it shall be the duty of the clerk, sixty days be-1 fore that term of the court which is held twelve months after said return, to issue exe cution as aforesaid for the remainder of the sum recovered and interest thereon : Provided That if the defendant shall pay into office or file before the clerk a receipt from the plain tiff therefor, and any one of said installments before the time fixed for issuing execution, as aforesaid, in such case execution shall be stay ed for said instalment: And provided further, That the judgement shall constitute a lien on the land of the defendant until said judgment is satisfied or the lien discharged by the act or laches of the plaintiff. Be it further enacted, That so much of the seventeenth section, chapter one hundred and five of the revised code as subjects a sheriff to a penalty of one hundred dollars for not exe cuting and returning process, be and the same is hereby repealed, except as provides in this act as to all penalties which may be alleged to have been incurred by a campliance with the the provisions of this act. Be itfutrher enacted, That it shall be the duty of all constable and other officers to levy any ex- emtions which may be in their hands, issued up on judgment heretofore rendered by magistrates and to return the same together with said le vies to the justices oft he peace who issued the same, or to some other magistrate in said county, whose duty it shall be upon the appli cation of ths plaintiff to issue a venditioni ex ponas, returnable not sooner that twelve months from the date thereof and for the like proportion of the sum recovered as hereinbe fore prescribed on exemptions issued from the superior court, and so from twelve months to ; twelve months until the judgment is satisfied, j Provided however, That when there is no per- i sonal property or not sufficient to ratify the . plaintiff's demands, it shall be the duty of such i officers to levy the execution on the defendants i land, and when there is no personal property, j or the same shall have been exhausted by sales i as herein directed to return the same to the The negro Question in Georgia The following is the bill that has passed the Georgia senate for the protection ofthe blacks in that state: Sec 1.

On the return of Senator Howard, another installment of test imony will be ready for pub lication, among which is that of several Rebel Generals. Gen. Lee says he never took an oath to support the Confederacy; that he always purposely avoided it. Gen. Custar arrived to-day from Texas. He gives rather a gloomy accourft of political affairs in that State. There islittle, if any, loyalty outside our lines, and if our troops were with drawn there-would be none anywhere. Green- backs are but seldom acknowledged to have any value, and gold and silver are the circula ting medium. In many places greenbackswill not buy food or fuel. The idea that they will ever be paid is but seldom entertained. Mat ters are daily growing worse. Gov. Buckinham of Connecticut was on the floor ofthe Senate and House to-day, where he received the hearty congratulations of many Members. Major-Gen. Custer arrived here to-day from Texas. Gen. Fremont also reached town this cven- Lieut-Gen. Grant and staff returned from the funeral of Col. Bowers early this morning. During the day the General had a long inter view' with the President. SENATOR NYE ON THE STUMP. Senator Nye of Nevada left to-night for New- Hampshire. ' He is announced to speak to morrow evening at Nashua, and will address the people in various sections of the Granite State until the day of the election, when he will take the stump in Connncctieuf for Haw ley. next superior court of the county, where the same proceedings shall be had as in cases of original jurisdiction in inforcing payment by execution. Be it further enacted, That hereafter all civil warrants issued by justices of the peace, where the proceeding is not by attachment shall be made returnable for trial’ twelve months after the date of issuing such warrant and not before : and no justice of the peace shall have power or jurisdiction to try any such warrants before the expi ration of twelve months from the issuing of the same : Provided, That the defendant is a resident of the State, and all executions issued by a justice of the peace,shall be made returnable 12 months from the issuing ofthe same: and upon trial of such warrant either party may appeal from the judgment to the next succeeding term of the su perior court, by giving security as is now provided by law in case of appeal from justices’judgments; and upon judg ments there had, according to the course of the court,and upon all judgments given by a magistrate and no appeal therefrom execution shall issue and be returnable in like manner and time and for the like proportion of the sum recovered as hereinbefore provided where suit is brought in the superior court; provided however, that all procced- jn”-s before any justice or justices for any forcible entry ’ o/detainer, or against any other person holding over against a landlord, or in any other case founded in tort, where jurisdiction has heretofore been given, or may hereafter be given to ope or more justices by existing law shall not besubject to the provision, but all such cases may be prosecuted to judgment and execution in the man ner prescribed by law prior to the eleventh September, eighteen hundredand sixty-one,or as provided in any act or acts touching such wrongs and conferring such jurisdic- ^ it furtherenacted, That if any sheriff, clerk or other officer shall violate any of the provisions of this act, he shall forfeit the sum ol two hundred dollars to be recover ed by any person slicing for the same in the name of the State, and shall also be subject to indictment for a misde meanor. , .. „ Be it further enacted. That none of the provisions of this act shall apply to the collection of the State or county revenue, or repeal any of the existing modes or remedies provided by law for the collection of the same. Be it further enacted, That the tax fee upon justices judgements returnable to the superior court shall be the tame as is now taxed in the several county courts. Be it further enacted, That the time of four years he ex tended to executors and administrators, wherein to settle the estates of their testators or intestates and a further ! time in which to plead: at the discretion of the courts, i Be it further enacted, That the provisions of this act, I extending the time of pleading and the return of execu- ’ tions, shall not apply to cases arising under chapter seven i revised code,entitled attachment; but proceedings may be • instituted and prosecuted to judgment, and execution in ! all respects as is provided in the said chapter or any actor I acts since passed, concerning attachment. I Be it further enacted, That any action or suit hereto- i fore brought under any existing law returnable to the i next Fall term of every superior court of law or equity, shall be deemed to have been properly brought to said I courts, as if instituted after the next spring term oi said I court, and shall he proceeded with according to the provis- > ions of this act. Who is Dan Castello ?--A great concourse of people assembled on Nash square to have this question answered and we hear from one who was present that the mystery was solved most satisfactorily. He is not an ordinary vul garian. but humorist of rare excellence—one who matures his witticisms by hard study— and when he introduces them they never miss the risibles of the masses at whom he aims the mirth-provokers. We shall speak by the card to-morrow and give our state’s people a fair picture ofthe establishment, so that they know what they are to hear and see when the circus visits them. equestrians, male and female, were dressed in full professional costume; the trained mules and ponies were along; and the animals of Herr Longer, securely caged, formed the real- guard. Altogether the scene was not unim posing and the circus had an escort which ap parently represented every nation, age and col or under the sun. There can scarcely be two opinions as to Castello’s success. He is repu tedly the greatest (and wehope the most chaste) of clowns; the names of a number ofthe per formers are familiar and famous in the ring; all classes have a penchant for seeing animals; and we conclude the vast tent will be crowded. Before you buy "foreign perfumes,” ask the dealers to show you their European idvoices. They can’t do it. Reason why: Importations have ceased under the pre sent tariff. The articles are counterfeits. Phalon’s “Night-Blooming Cereus”—a finer extract than Paris has ever produced—now reigns supreme in this market. Amsterdam Recorder. Wholesale Houses.—We are 'lad to see that a city cotemporary and papers at oth er points in the state, have recently discussed the practicability of sustaining wholesale busi ness houses in our place. Better still: thereis unanimity of opinion among these parties that there is no reason why such establishments should not find not only a living but compen sating patronage. While wc accept these conclusions as entire ly truthtul, it is important to the substantial interests of our business folks to say that there are firms here at present who can and do sell at prevailing northern quotations. Of these we may mention in dry goods Messrs. Maxon & Strong; in stoves and tin ware Longee & Brother’s; in clothing, Farriss& Lack, A. Kline, M. Grausmau, and perhaps others in different departments ot trade. These things are so and we desire small dealers at a distance to under stand that in commercial transactions their in terests will be materially promoted if they try our city. It is not denied, we presume, that our stores are as well stocked as those of any other city in North Carolina or Virginia. In point of quality the goods are not inferior in design or freshness, and our business men are proverbial for their spirit of accommodation. Indeed, we would as soon trust an order for goods in their TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. No Violation of Neutrality Laws. Washington City, March ll, 1866.—The British minister has been assured by our gov ernment thatno violation of the neutrality laws will be permitted by the Fenians.

Merchants order to reflect the fair-dealing character of the business community here. Of course, in urging that our place affords to retail dealers inducements for their trade not inferior to those cities whose papers boast so extravagantly of their superiority, we intend simply to show that Raleigh is not the provin cial dependency—the village it was a few years agone. Nor would we wish to be understood as overrating our own municipal importance. Much yet remains to be done before wc shall become the first city in the south. But not withstanding such admissions, we have trades men of unsurpassed energy, large enterprise, liberal dispositions, and who can do all we claim for them. Release of Semmes. It is announced that Admiral Semmes, late ofthe Confederate Navy, so-called, has been released, and thereupon the Philadelphia Age remarks : “Scarcely any act of the President reflects more credit upon his prudence and sagacity, than his release, from arrest, of Semmes, the late commander ot the Alabama. Under the surrender of Johnston's army he was admitted to parole, and no matter whether that was right or wrong, until he violates it, the gov ernment cannot honolably, nor justly, molest him. His arrest and imprisonment was cruel, outrageous,and we rejoice that Andrew Johnson has had the courage to set this matter right, in spite ofthe clamor which has been raised upon the subject.” We rejoice to chronicle the release of Semmes and we are especially gratified at the senti ments expressed by this northern publication : and we should be glad to see the President extend the measure of clemency and release others who were paroled at the surrender but Sick.—Patrick Murphy, Esq., commonner from the county of Sampson, is, we learn, se riously ill at his boarding house in this city. We regret to state that during the sitting of the legislature, much sickness has prevailed among its members, and several deaths. Mr. Sanders, senator from Onslow, and Mr. Han rahan, commonner from Pitt, have died while in the city; and Mr. Faison, senator from the county of Sampson, only reached his home a few hours before he was summoned to the spirit world.

We do not think that the temper or loyalty of; at work. the southern people will be improved by im prisonment or hanging. Accidental Death.—-The Newbern Times of Saturday says : “We were much pained yes terday to learn of the accidental death of Dr. Beckwith jr., of Smithfield which happen ed a few days since at Swift Creek, in this county. Mr. Colbert and the Doctor were More Thieving.—The bummers are again Saturday night two mules were tak- en from the government yards west ofthe cap- itol. Last night some one entered the stable of Mr. Wm. Garner, six miles from the city and appropriated a sorrel marc. A particular de scription of the latter animal appears in adver tisement.
