Tbe French Republican govern ment holds itself in an attitude of lioslility to Napoleon's remains. They fear the Lion, though dead. The Lslature 'convened yester day, jtacning is likely to occur to disturbe the "harmony" of the ses sion.! i ' H1 A'strong effort will be made in the Legislature to obtain the enactment of a law establishing the system of cumulative suffrage in Ealeigh. The ptoperty holdersare moving in the matter. - One Thomas C. Durant intimates that President Grant is interested in Credit Mobilier Stock. ' The country will not be surprised if this be true. Grant never lets slip an opportunity of making money. The Christian Advocate has com menced its 19th volume. It is "one of the most popular Metho'dist jour nals in the South, Robt. S. Gray, Esq., has become local and news editor, and will give additional in terest to the paper. Napoleon's son Lewis is reported to have assumed the kingly title "'of' Napoleon IV. lie will wear an un seen crown and wield a phantom sceptre. But France may grow sick of Republican rule and return to the glorious House of Napoleon. The corner stone of the pioneer Protestant Church in .Rome-has been laid. The bold Protestants who pros ecute this work dare beard the lion f Catholicism in hi3 tJen.. The funds for this church are being rais ed? in the United States, Mr. W. Hummer Batch eTor, son of J. B. Batchelor, Esq., of Raleigh, delivered his maiden speech at the Bar Tuesday, in the trial of the State vs. Simpson Mordecai. His effort is spoken of as being quite fine, and gives good promise "for his future reputation as a pleader. Napoleon's remains while lying in State were viewed by two hundred limited number. The body lay instate forty-eight hours or more; so about ten thousand inquisitive persons had .the satisfaction of gazing op the pallid face of a dead, and dethroned. monarch. '" " . The impeachment of Durell, the Federal Judge who has played the tyrant in Louisiana, is threatened by Congress. A resolution for an in quiry into his conduct has been adopted by the House. This is an evidence that Congress is disposed to do the South justice. The Congressional Committee on Commerce have under consideration a bill favoring an appropriation for the James River and Kanawha Ca nal Company. Col. Carrington, Pre sident of the company, and Col. R. II, Hughes, of Virginia, are engin eering the biLL Both are in Wash ington. This sentence from Hon Kemp r. Battle s letter of acceptance of the office of Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, has "the ring of true metal :" "To aid in relieving the intellectual famine of the rising generation, in removing from the State the blight of ignorance, in rekindling the ex- tmgujsnea tires of our venerable University, once so honored and useful, in placing North Carolina apreast wun the most cultured of English-speaking people, U surely worthy the ambition of any man." What will christian people think of the following speechwhich recent ly fell from tbe Jipa of a Federal Judge, the infamous Durell of Louis iana? In the progress of a case be fore him he allowed himself to be transported into jhe : mostjoieiit rage, and among much else that was unseemly he used this blasphemous language : "I am the vicegerent of Almighty trod, sitting here to du pense justice ; and as His; agent intend. to se justice done." " " 1 . ' ' - - . ZC SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. The'appointment of Hon. Kemp r. Battle as Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, will give general sat isfactionj He is "intelligent, educa ted and honesty ,,.A native North Carolinian, free from partisan bitter- nuuiuji yj enerev, ne will t no doubt do much towards advancing tne greatly neglected cause of edu cation in this State. " ? Thi apoihiment shows that 'his - ExceUency, Gov-Caldwen,' is getting into a! healthy statie i of mind relati v to the discharge of the gravjuties whtclTaoTiFqpon !nlm as Chief Executive of North Carolina. It is a good igii when a RepublicanGov ernor has the moral courage to dis appoint the numerous office-seekers in his wrf party and appoint a jnan from the ranks of his political op ponents.' He is the only Republi can Governor in the South who wouldf have done such a th i ng ; and n6 deserves commendation for it. ' A COMPIJCATED STATE OF AF J , A Tj ' FAIRS. - ' The muddle in lobisiana thickens apace. The world perhaps has never seen such a tangle in governmental affairs. The general of the army stationed in New Orleans telegraphs to the authorities in Washington that the situation is daily becoming more and more complicated, and that he can do nothing more with his soldiers than to keep the peace between the contending factions. The condition of things in that un fortunate State is "confusion" worse confounded!" pit w "a master-piece of confusion," for the working of which the negro Acting Governor Pinchback ; the Governor and Sena torKellogfc J.the federal Judge, Du rell ; the Attorney General, Williams, and President Grant share the honors- between them. These choice spirits may gather around their in tricate work and sing with the poet, "O, what a tangled web we weaye. When thus we practice to deceive" the people. The President successfully untan gles a post-office difficulty, but he cannot untie the Gordian knot of Louisiana politics. Like Alexander the Great, he resorted to the sword ; but unlike this ancient hero, he makes a lamentable failure in his attero pt to cut asunder this Gordian knot. He is not bold enough to play the despot: he lacks daring: he is afraid of the People, afraid to risk his chances of re-election in 76 by making the military arm of the gov ernment supreme. The United States is not quite ripe yet for the. sword. - The New York Herald which is the mirror of the public sentiment of this country plainly showed President Grant that ustice must be done in Louisiana; that the majesty of the Law must be respected; that he must stand aside with his bayonets and brass buttons ; and not infringe the sacred rights of the People. The men of this coun try are not yet ready to surrender up their liberties, and bow obsequiously before the throne. The double inauguration which took place in New Orleans on Mon day is the latest important feature in Louisiana affairs. Two governors were inaugurated, and each claims that he is the lawful executive of the State. Gov. McEnry is the champi on of the Conservatives of the State, and there is no question as to his having received a majority of the votes polled. He is the lawful Gov ernor; and has the support and sympathies of the good people of Louisiana. Thousands assembled at he public square to witness the ceremony; Hundreds of ladies were present: the beauty, the virtue, the manhood of the Crescent City graced the occasion. The ceremonies were opened with prayer by Bt. Rev. Wilroer, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Louisiana; and the venerable Bishop Pierce of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, delivered the valedictory address. After the inaugural speech, a benediction was pronounced, and the vast assemblage of citizens dispersed!. The other inaugural, that of Kel- ogg, the leader of. the Radical fac tion, was quite different. The cere mony was performed, not "in the broad light of day, Under the open eye of heaven,'.' like that of McEn ry 's, but, in a hall, with doors guard ed by Federal troops. A band, of wicked usurpers, conscious of the wrong they were doing, tney were afraid to assemble except under the protection of bayonets. The negro Pinchback delivered his valedictory and Kellogg, the carpet-bag . Gover nor elect, took the oath of office. And thus Louisiana has two Gov. ernors, and two conflicting adminis trations. The soldiers under Grant s recent. orders will do nothing more than preserve the; peace. How the difficulty will be settled it is hard to foresee. " The President has submit- tedthe whole matter to Congress, and the country will await with anxiety their -action. :T T Tfr.t:. BACK-PAY. if In regard to the division of the back-pay. we reproduce a portion of Gov. Vance's letter in reply te Humr phrey and Love. . He says: - ? 'fAnother. circumstance is the di vision of the back pay. ; They sneer at tni8 and sayjt is :a "novelty ' in North Carolina politics " and ask ,wby it was nor also "divided with Graham and Maiily, .who once held ccrtiflcatesndw seats: I errant their nsrnt to tninic the proceeding novel. That" which is counter topne's own feelings and conduct always strikes us as strange. Without one word ever said to or by me on the subject, Genif Bansom procured the passage of a resolution in the Senate, directing the payment io him of the salary due to the Senator from N. C. for the year 1871. This was done, as he says, expressly for my benefit, and- with the approbation of all the Democrat ic Senators. The first intimation I had of all this, was in June after his return from Washington, when he tendered me the monev the whole of it. I refused to take any. He explained how and why he got it, and declared he would return it to the Treasury if I did not accept it, or part of it. On consultation with friends, I agreed to take - one-half, which about repaid me for time and money expended injtry ing to get my seat. Now to these gentlemen it no doubt seems strange, that Bansom should have offered me this money when nothing but honor and decen cy prevented his keeping it ; and as also strange, that I didn't take it all when it was offered to me. isut they m ust know that there r are refined and generous instincts still existing men, though they may feel them not. Their favorite candidate, Judge Merrimon, when I explained his thing to him, said candidly and without hesitation, that it was per- ectlv riaht and larorter. and that he lad intended, if he had been elected instead of Ransom to do the very same thing I As to why Gen.Ttahsom did not also divide with Graham and Manly, the answer is, he drew no money for their terms, and was not their successor. This question they should ask of their new friends and co-workers against the Democracy, Pool and Abbott ." . A correspondent writing from Ber ie county says in relation to this subject : "Our people here know nothing of the $5,000 business. The general re mark is that Gov. Vance ought to have had every cent of it, the whole $5,000, and a wish is equally general that it had been ten times as large. This is a plain, common sense view of the matter : Gov. Vance of course had a right to receive the back pay due the Sen at or from North Carolina, as he was duly elected and only kept out by the partisan vindic- tiveness of a Radical Congress. The attempt on the part of Messrs. Hum phrey and Love to tarnish the repu tation of Gov. Vance by civiner a 'alse coloring to this transaction, must signally fail : the folly of the attempt is only equalled by the un worthiness of the motive that prompted it. STATE NEWS. The Danbury Reporter savs that Mr. Drury Smith, of Eockingham county, was drowned in Dan river re cently. Capt: R. B. Peebles, says the Ral eigh News, recently killed 4 fine deer m one da v. The Eagle is rejoiced to hear that there is a hopeful prospect of locat ing abank at Hickory at an early day. Hie Raleigh Ein learns that the Western Railroad suit of Howerton and others against Tate and others will be tried in the Supreme Court on Thursday. The wife of W. P. Welch, Esq., Senator in the present General As sembly, died at her husband's resi dence recently. Mr. Welch himself has been seriously ill. The city of Wilmington and coun ty of New Hanover has a debt of $626,021,69. The bonded city debt amounts to $564,200 and the bonded county debt to $54,000. The floating city debt amounts to $7,821. Some of the citizens of Burke are gettin&up a petition to the Legisla ture asRing ne passage oi an act pro hibiting tne sale of intoxicating li quors within one mile of the Court House. The Wilmington Star learns that a man by the name of John Armstrong employed at Abbottsburg, met with a fatal accident on Wednesday last. He was attempting to cross the rail way of the company at that point, just in front of a loaded car, when he accidentally leu and the car passed over his body, inflicting wounds from which h died in about six hours. The local of the Raleigh Era is ahead of anybody in the State on the marvelous. Here is his latest : Capt Davies of Goldsboro-owned a fine scotch and bull terrier named Nellie, arid the father of her litter of pups was a large bull in that place who used every morning to go with the market basket in his mouth for beef. It hasn't been long since the puppies were born, and that very morning came the bull with the basket of beef and took out a piece for Nellie, and so kept it up every morning the same way for several days. The Great Pyramid of E(jYPT.-At a recent meeting of the king's College Engineering Soiety, a paper by Mr. Jacob "On the Great Pyramid" was read. The author first gave a general description of the Pyarmid, as to its position foundation, in ternal and external masonry, and the chambers and passages which it contains. He then propounded the theory, originated by Mr. Taylor, of London, and which has been re cently more fully developed by the astronomer Royal , for Scotland. This, theory supposes V the great Pyramid to have been, built for a standard of weights and measures, from the wonderfull relations r ex istance in the dimensions of this stupendous structure, aim est inex plicable on other hyphothesis. . tion Acceptance of Mr. Battle.! It will be - seen-, from, the corres pondence below that Gov: Caldwell has" appointed Hon. Kemp P. Battler, Superintendent qj Public Instruction wh ich posi tion has been accepted by . that gentleman' The correspondence speaks for itself : V ; Raleigh, Jan. 14, 1873.! .-' Kemp P Battle, Esq:: 'rrA Dear Sir The office of Superin tendent of Public Instruction having becom e vacant by. the -death of-Rejr.-James Reid, it devolves upon me tjo fill the vacancy. This is an office !of great importance to the people" "if both races, and the success or failure of our common schoQl3 is largely de pendent upon the qualificatioiis and fitness of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. After maturely considering the matter in all its as pects, I have determined to tender the office to you. From a long ac quaintance, I believe you possess, ih an eminent degree, all the qualities and qualfications which are necessa ry and requisite tomake our com mon schools a success, and that your appointment will ive general, if not Universal, satisfaction. I am further persuaded that your freedom ffoni political prejudice and intolerance will prompt you to take as much inj terest and manifest as much zeal in behalf of the education and moral culture of one race of our fellow-citizens as of-the other; and that "you will know, or favor, or ignore ndjone on account of his or her race or pre4 vious condition, but that vou .will administer this office and discharge its duties impartially, and without favor or fear. I trust, sir, that you will accept; the accompany commission and give me your valuable aid in an honest' effort to build up and maintain a good system of common schools our State. I am , sir, very truly, Your obedient servant, Tod R. Caldwell, Governor. in1 Raleigh, Jan. 14, 1873. His Excellency Tod R. Caldwell, Gover nor of North Carolina : Dear Sir After careful delibera tion I deem it my duty to accept the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina, which you have so unexpectedly tendered me. The cause of popular education should be raised aoove partisan con siderations. Reciprocating and hon oring your motives in endeavoring to effect this great object, as shown in the appointment of one not of your own party, I shall labor with earnest desire, as the constitution provides, to diffuse the light of knowledge equally and impartially among all the youth of the State, without bias of politics or bias of race. To aid in relieving the intellectual famine of the rising generation, in removing from the State the blight of ignorance, in rekindling the extin guished fires of our venerable Uni versity, once so honored and useful, in placing North Carolina abreast with the most cultured of English speaking people, is worthy the ambi tion of any man. Deeply impressed, notwithstanding your favorable opinion, with a sense of my want of the requisite qualifica tions to accomplish the task, yet in tending to bringto the work indus try and zeal, I will enter on my du ties, relying on your efficient aid, as well as on the co-operation of the Board of Education, the Trustees of the University, and most of all, of the Legislature of the State. Thanking you for the kind terms of praise with which you accompany my commission, I am, Very respectfully yours, Kemp P. Battle. From the Raleigh News. John Pool After Ores well's Place. John Pool, the expiring Senator from North Carolina, is working very energetically to secure a place in the President's Cabinet. He has obtained from the Radical party in this State, a certificate of meritorious conduct for services ren dered in defeating Vance, and his re commendation for the position of Post Master General is said to be nu merously signed by leading Southern Radical politicians. Mr. Pool clings tp office with a death-like tenacity. As he vacates his seat in the U. S. Senate he is anx ious to step into a snug berth in the President's Cabinet. It is said that his chances for ob taining Creswell's position are very good, as the President is disposed to reward him for his eminent services, sacrifices and patriotic labors for the Radical party in North Carolina. The followingis the certificate which Senator Pool took to Washington City in his pocket, from the Republi can member of the Legislature : ; Senate Chamber, ) Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 13, 1872. jf At a Republican caucus held in the Seriate Chamber, Dec -13; 1872, it was resolved by the Republican mem bers of the ' General Assembly of North Carolina, in joint caucus as sembled, that for his services to the Republican party in this State, and in the Union, for his labor in behalf xf equal rights, and for his efforts, in the Senatorial contest which mainly brought about the defeat of the Dem ocratic nominee, Hon. John Pool is entitled to the thanks of the nation, and especially to the thanks of the Republicans of North Carolina. It was further resolved that a copy of this resolution be furnished the Hon. John Pool. . Rich'd C. Badger. Chm'n. ;" E. R. Dudley, Acting Sect'ry. William H.

' " .H Cotloii Ref aiding Tax A despatch from Washington j states that the friends of the cotton tax refunding scheme are making a powerful anT what . they think will prove a successful, movement in fur therance of their object. A circular accompanied " by. the argument of Judge B.R.Curtis and Messrs. Hughes and Sharkey and Herschel V. Johnson, as well as a memorial and resolutions of nearly all the South ern States arid cities, has been signed by all the members from the cotton States preseritr- This circular which with the accompanying papers tyill be laid on the desk of every member, is a declaration that they intend to $ies& the passage of au act at this session to refund the tax collected by the general government after the close of the late war. T They set forth that in their belief the law imposing the cotton tax was unconsiitu)onal;thatit was unjust and oppressive iri its: operations ; that it fell essentially upon producers, and was passed when1 their States were wholly unrepresented, under the mistaken idea that it would fall up on consumers. They ask of Con gress a fair examination of the argu ments submitted, which they claim demonstrate the correctness of their positions and the reasonableness of their demand. xi is staiea mat una paper is sign ed unanimously by all the members of the House of Representatives now present from the cotton States, ir respective of politics or color;, and it is expected it will have a powerful effect and give dignity and force to the movement. Usury Law. The Raleigh Sentinel contains the following : Hillkboro,' Jan. 12, 1873. Mb. Editor : What will the Leg islature do on the subject of usury and interest ? To make eight per cent lawful and allow parties to contrantforas much more as suits them is to establish eigh teen per cent as the lawful interest, who has borrowed of banks at less than eighteen per cent ? I will vote for no man who allows a money lender more than eight per cent., and that is too high by half. As many robbers as we have banks in North Carolina could not do more mischief to morals and pro perty that banks who loan money at eighteen per cent. Yours, Against Utvky. The Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg Index says : "Governor Woodson, of Msssouri, who ha just been inaugurated, is a native of Goochland county, Va., and left here some eighteen or twenty years ago, and established himself a practitioner of law in Kansas City. He has brothers and other near rela tives now residing in this vicinity." The war ressels Powhatan and Saugus now under sailing Qrs at Norfolk, Va., will leave, for Key West this week. LATE TELEGRAPHIC KEWS. Arkansas Election Matters Decision of the Court. ; Little Rock, Jan. 13. Judge Cald well rendered a decision to-day in the case of Judge Harrison, against Gov. Hardley, and others. He sus tains the defendant s demurer to the jurisdiction of the Court. He fays the Court has no jurisdiction under the Enforcement Act of any election except where the parties have been deprived of their right to vote by reason of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. In the com plainant's bilLno averment of this kind is made. He gave leave to the counsel to re argue the case before a full bench in April, wheu it m thought Judge Miller of the Supreme Court and Circuit Court Judge Dillton will be present. Referring to the decision of Judge Durell, of Louisiana, he savs the Court in that case decided in had ju risdiction solely on the ground that tjhe averment in the complaint set up that the parties had been deprived of their right to vote by reason of ineir race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. In this suit no such averment; is made, and the com plainant is remitted to the Courts of this State for relief. Washington Affairs. s Washington, Jan. 14.
