Mr. Bright was born in Central New
Yorkin 1812,- and there studied law.
Soon after removing to Indiana, he be
came deeply interested in politics, and
almost from the outset of his public ca
reer, was a public leader. He was suc
cessively a circuit judge, State Senator,
United States marshal, Lieut. Governor
and United States Senator. His'lservice
in the federal senate began in J845 aijd
continued unbroken , down to his expul-
sion in 18G2. ' " ' . '
Although his position in' the Senate
was a stPoW one, and he served on
some of the most important f 'commit-
tees, he "earned the most enduring
and honorable fame when the radicals
expelled him, in a time of high excite-
immitUA bad renorted resolutions in
favor of fhe expulsion of Senators John-

sufficient to warrant his expulsion. Tlie fended persons eould'go for us? We
subject was , postponed one week, and
in the meantime it was decided in the
councils of the war party hat Mr.-
Bright must be expelled in spite of the
reportfrom the judicial committee,
which was composed almost entirely of
Z x"U i-l-r f mna ArlAnA t.t
republicans. He was expelled by a
vote of 32 to'14, and here is all that the
resolutions recited against him and all
that the action of thej Senate iwas con
fessedly based upon : '"" ' t
Washington, March H, 1861.
My Deak Sir : Allow.me to intro-
duce to vour acauamtance my friend
Thomas B. Lincoln, of Texaiju He vis
its your capital mainly to dispose of
what he regards a great improvement
in firearms. I recommend hinif to your
favorable consideration as a gentleman
of the 'first: respectability, and reliable
in every respect . Jesse D. Bright.
To his Excellency Jefferson Davis,
President of theConfederatidniof States.
Mr. Bayard tried in vain tojhave the
war inflamed : majority take a sensible
view of this letter of mere introduction,
and Mr. Bright explained that he gave
the same man a letter of introduction
several months previous to Gov. Floyd,
then Secretary of War, and that he
came back and bored him for a letter
to Jefferson Davis, which he save. It
is to the credit of several republican
Senators that they could not be induc
ed to sanction by their votes; . such an
unjust act of arbitrary power.
After his expulsion Mr. Bright did
not return to public life. Some time
ago he bought a fine residency in Balti
more, where he died. His disease was
rheumatism of the heart. He was a
man of fine presence, of persuasive ora
tory and of commanding abilities. He
was an unswerving democrat, and pos
terity will regard his expulsiori from the
Senate under the circumstances, as an
honorable event in his long, useful and
powerful career. I

If there is one i.thingf inorfc than an-
other which we aretproiid of in connec-
tion with the ceremonies attending the
, . v, ; i , vi- ic, 4t,f

the press generally have " spoken well
and favorably of the action of the peo-
pie of Charlotte in regard to the enter
tainment of her guests, on that occa
sion. Had we time and space atr com

In addition to the extensive arrange-
ments which had been made by the ya-
nous committees, every citizen pi
lotte threw wide his doors, ana mvitea
visitors to partake of the hospitality so
necessary on such an occasion.
As to the good feeling which was ex
hibited on all hands, we must quote
the following paragraph from the last
Atlanta Herald: '
"Wilmington and Fayetteville, the
lower capital and the upper metropolis
of the Cape Fear region,; appeared to
have been transported, almost en masse,
to add the lustre of the -revolutionary
fame of the Cape Fear to the commem
oration of the glory of the mountain re
gion of Carolina. Besides her organiz
ed, delegations, Wilmington was rep
resented by members of her historic
families. As "one star differeth from
another star in glory," so . the deeds of
the revolutionary patriots of Cape Fear,
and those of M ecklenburg, are to be
separated only by a question of locality
and not of degree. Co-operating in the
worthy commemoration of yesterday
with the descendants of those Grahams
and Alexanders whom Cornwallis made
illustrious forever as the "Hornets of
Rebellion" were descendants of that
Hugh Waddell and John Ashe, who
openly flouted British authority by des
troving the stamps in the Cape Fesr,
and of that Moses, John DeRosset, who,
as Mayor of Wilmington, headed the
demonstrations of disloyalty with which
Wilmington seized the boat of the Dili
gence, lying in the Cape Fear, to en
force the Stamp Act, and afterwards
made an illumination in honor of the
enforced concessions of the royal Gov
ernor.
Fifty-Ninth Annual Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
Diocese of North Carolina.
The session of this Convention, held
in Newbern last week, was of a most
interesting character to the Episcopal
Church in the State.
We glean the subjoined condensed
account from the Newbern Times of
Saturday:
msuops AiKinson ana. iyman were
both present. Thirty-two clergymen
were present and fifty-six lay delegates.
The annual sermon was preached by
Rev. Aristides Smith, of Halifax. Bev.
J. Worrall Larmour, of Goldsboro, was
elected Secretary.
On Thursday, on motion of Dr.
Armand J. DeRosset, of Wilming
ton, the following resolution, signed
by Bishops Atkinson and Lyman, was
forwarded to the Charlotte Centen
nial :
"The Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the Diocese of
North Carolina, sends'its greetings to
the citizensvlof Charlottee, and to all
those engaged there, in celebrating
the Centennial Anniversary of the

Dr. Armand J. DeRosset was unan

it in the highest terms as a work of

The Mecklenburg; Centennial
From the New York Herald.
The great success of the celebration
at Charlotte vesterdav. following, after
a month's interval, the eauallv suc-
cessful celebrations at Lexington and
Concord, relieves us from misgivings
respecting the grand uentenmal o
1876, which will not be local, but
national. These recent demonstra
tions, in the South as well as the
North, attest an all-pervading nation
al pride and fervent spirit of patriot-
ism wnicn Kinaie into eninusiasm as
occasions are offered which -render
their proper exhibition. We have
not dissembled our deep anxiety. that
the Mecklenburg Celebration should
satisfy public expectation,, and our
columns for the last month bear wit-j
ness that we have done alt in ourj
power to invest it with1 interest.' Our
zeal has been stirred first, by a genu
ine sympathy with the local : feeling
in iSorth Carolina; secondly, by a eon
viction that these preliminary: centen
nials are a gauge of the patnotic feel
i ng of the oountry by whicli the 'coun
try may judge of the great celebration!
next year ; and, thirdly,! ahd more
especial ly, by a feeling that "thesuccess
of these patriotic festivities at Char
lotte would be a test of the interest of
the South in the great occasion whicbj
is beginning to : attract the attention
of all civilized riatiorts.
We feel greater satisfaction in the
Mecklenburg celebration - than'; in
Lexington, Concord and Ticonderoga
because it has taken plaoein the South
and is a eonspiciOus proof that the
recent civil war has not quenched norj
abated the patriotic spirit of that sec
tion of the , country. The glorious
memories of the -Revolution are th
strongest bond of union between the
North and the South, and we fervent-'
ly rejoice at the proof iven yesterday
that the emulous patriotism,: of Caro
lina founded on Revolutionary memo
ries is not inferior to that of Massa
chusetts. How trivial is the recent
controversy respecting " dates ,i and
documents in comparison with this
proof that our civil war has notrdinw
med the fiires of patriotism I The
Centennial Celebration in North

that in Massachusetts. " Charlotte is
