Gov Worth was -elected Governor and qualified. The legislature met, elected Uuited Mates Senators and continued tbe wotk of adiustinff affairs to the cbai'2i' conditions. The President r coguied the Stato as being again fuilv ltj the Union. Tbe Supreme Court c(f the United Sta'es anncRineed U at ll: State bad never been out of the yuon, and soon afterwards tbe Chief justice of the, United States came td North Carolina and held the Federal Court. And 5o the year 18G5 came to its close wjtb North Carolina apparently restored to the Union. All was peacefcU and harmonious, and the people .were ha; d at wo.k trying to make a; living- But in Goneness were some rabid Republicans, who were not content. Gov. Afidrow, of MasBacnusettf?, said, tbe wttr being over, the country should' prosecute peace as zealously as formerly they had prosecuted the ar. but some vere not content to let th? Southern whites return to the Unioniwithout humiha ion and deg radation. Congress refused to admit tbe Representatives elected by the peopl or th6 Senators elected by the iegislfHure. Congress ha 1 submitted to North Caro'ina au amendment to the C&utttut:on of the United States for ratification or rejection, which certa'mly was a recognition of her f Siatefbood; but the faction which now took possession of Congress dis regardeJl all that and would not ccn- eider.-ihat the State was lestortd to the Union. For soma purposes the was back; for others she was !'.ot. It denehded on how he Radicals want- r ;. ed itif or the occasion. To' humble and degrade the buu h- ern whites they passed a Civil Rights hill March'. 18bb, abolis ang all racedist;nctions and establishing so ciai dtquahty in public schools, m churches, in places of amasement, m 1 pteis, cars, auu an puunc piaoon. 1 j.ii li:.. This iniquity President Johason ve toeil, ind it wa allowed to r st for the jime.. In the meantime Governor Worth conducted the affairs of tbe Slate with wiaiom and. prudence, and thus an other year elapsed. 'H waS two years after the war was over before the Radicals in CongresB decided what to do. Then they ciaiimd that the right to reconstruct theSoulbern States belonged to Con greis and not to the President. They pasf ed a bill to abolish the existing State governments which weie the result of the Piesident's r"qntrnc .,guzeu, &nd to do the whole thing over again. The President had left the affairs of t he Southern States in theS fiandB of the old voters, with cer tain exceptions; CoDgrees determined to disfian.-bise laige numbers of whites and to give the ballot to the negroes. It determined to revolu t ionize the South. In this way the Radical fiict on iu Congiess ex peelid to bui'd up a large Republi can party at the South and to luako the Southern States Republican ffrn gbolds, bo that by their aid they could bold ou to the re ns of power in . the Ftderal goverumont. That was one idea; another was to bum li ate'and degrade tbe Southern whites. All the ire and spleen and rancor and hate of the Radical leaders were turn ed loose on the beads of the help less -'rebeli-,'' and they put tho heel ortbe tyrant's t.boe 6u tbe necks of their conquered foei men who for twt yearH had been in the fields at the plojgb making corn and provisions- On February 20, 1HG7, they passed a ftjill upsetting the State govern ments at the South, oblitf ratiug State lines and treating the territory as conquered territory, pa caling it out ino militaiy districts. President Johnson, who was very far from being lacking iu manhood, promptly vetoed tho measure; but there vere only u few Democrats in those days in Congress, tbe Republi cans having a large majority, and t! e infamous bill was passed by a two thirtbj vote over the veto. It became a law on March 2nd. What was onco North Carolina thus became a part of Military Dis trict No. 2, whose headquarters were at Charleston. Gen, Canby was the bfiti up in command. IGovi Worth refiiaed to recognize these changes except so far ,13 actual foue comt elled him. But Gen Canby ie-iiuel orders which he lequired the courts of North Carolina to enforce in the cou ts of justice and his will was the law. He was the military monaich pf his district. ,-Od Ji ne l'.ith, 18G7, he issued &n 0?dor to enroll the voters, and ap fon.t. d oflicers all over North LWo iria to take down tie r names. Lnrge numbers of whiter wi ri disfranchised,, bat the negroes were all enrolled ". This preliminary being di-ne, on the lht'i of Cvtober, 18(17, he issued h order for an election of delegates 0 hold a convention. The election I was h-ld for two days, Kovembor 19 I aftd 20:h. It was bel l by Canby s men. Only those enrolled could vote, jhfisj men made returcs to him at t.liari ston. The author i tits in Ni.rth Carolina had nothing to do with the matter. Gen. Canby thereupon issued-an order as follows : 4 - Hk'ADyl ABTEBS .MjLITABY DlSTBICT, ; Charleston, Dec. 31, 'G7. fifuntru' Or iter) Ao. 1(55. ) '; At an election held in the State of North I'aiolina on the 19th and 20th days of November, 18ti7, pursuant to dexoial Orders No. lul from these Eleadquaiters, dated October 18. 1,867, a majority of tbe regiatered Rotors of the said State having vottd n the question of holding a couven- tion, and a majority of the votes cast t being in favor of holding such ccn- ' vention, tbe delegates elected thereto aud hereinafter umed are hereby nth tified to assf-ikibie in convention at ti&Ioigh Oil the 11th oi January, lK;s. for ihe purposti of fr.uuing a (Jonsts tut.ion aud civil govtninj-nt, etc. By comrnrtud t-f Brevet .Irfj 3r Ct Ti eral.Ed.

Appended to this was a list of thi men who, ho said, had been elected. They were chiefly Rstdica's. 1'he convention duly met on the ' ll'.h of January, 18(38, and framed a ! brand-new Constitution, a natch- i wck concern, made up cbietly of the ! constitutions of Ohio and Illinois and other Northern States 1 This Constitution provided for a j Governor, State officers, judges and ! all the machinery of government, and j it was determined to elect all these officers from Governor and Chief Jus tice dow n to township trustees, mag- lstrates and constables, and all, at tbe same time. egi 'ihlat ure The election was hld, if we recol lect aright, for three days, under the supoi vision of Canby 'h ratr, and the , returns were made to taiu at Charles ton. tiov. lloldcn was the Radical nom inee, while Thos. S. Ashe was the nominee of tbe Conservatives. At tbe same time the question was submitted to this peoplq whether the proposed Constitution should be adopted or not. Gen. Canby said that the Constitu tion was adopted and that the Radi cal ticket was elected, we suppose that was so, and do not question it, but Gen. Canly's people did the counting down in South Carolina. It was arranged for tue new Stale government to go into offset on July 4th, 18GS, but Gov. Worth claimed that the whole business was unconsti tutional and void; that he vas 'fiov eruor of theSta'e of North Carolina; that Congress had no power to pass any sucn law; mat ine only voters in North Carolina wore the white citi zens, and that ho would not yield his office except to force. He was forci bly ejected by Canby's subaltern and Gov. Holdeu became the Governor of the State. The new legislature met at the same time in special session and as there was but a handful of Conservatives in it the Radicals had all their own way. A man namod Littlefiejd, a sutler, hose lecenfc occupation had been spoiling the iiegroes who had con gregated near Ueaufort, South Caro lina, was telegraphed fur to come up and work the hands and he came. lie formed combinatiois by which under tho pretence of making liberal appropriations for railroads $20,000. 0UO of bonds were to be issued, of whic 1 tli rinc; was to get one-tenth for passing them.

After t be election of officers atd the transaction of the, routine business of the meeting of the A. &, N. C. R. R. 'Jo on August 2d, 1888; at llorehead, Col. John VV. Hinsdale, of Raleigh, said: Ma. j Cha.hman- : Before wo 6hall adjourn and return to our homes, I wiwh l) speak of one, upon whose familuiir face we have been accustomed to look arid whof-e warm hand we have been wont to press at these an nual gatherings of the st ckholdeis of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad Company, but who sinco our last meeting has passed over the river. llsj.

Wheu I think of him, memory car lies Uie back over tLirty eventful years to our first sweet intercourse in the htlcyon dajs of our youth, when as boys together we lingered in the classic shades of Chapel Hill, and I recall the genial and kindly friend of my eatly manhood. Joiiling he army ut the beginning, he so: veil the Southern cause for four yea-a. With sick hear' and shattered hops be came home frora the war. Maj- G itling was a holdier of con spicuous giilantry, who nt-vei bhiiked a duty or shunned a dang-r. After the war he cast. hs lot in Mexico, and there led a roving life for a biief pe riod. Ou hid return to North Caro lina, he entered vigorously upon the practice of h a profession, and salon distinguished himself as an ably and eloquent advocate and a prudent and learned counsellor. Of his connectioa with iLis com pany it is neeulees for n,c to speak. It is familiar to us all. By bis gent'e manners and his del ghtfui iud en gaging converse ho en h areJ .u'n if to hiB associate?, and bound himself to us as with hooks of steel. Mr. Chaiimau, we are reminded, by Major Catling's death, as we aro re minded almost every day by the death of other fneuds, it. at w-, too, are mortal and must booh go the way of all ileeh. Bu the saddest i t flection is, that when wo die we are so soon forgotten. By a small circle of those, who w'ere nearest and dearest to us for a while, will our graves be kept green and wreathed From tbe rest ! we shall tas a completely out of mind as j:t earihly forms shall have vanished out of their Bight. I desire to place on record one memorial of my dea 1 friend which will for a sea son at leabt pi t serve a recollection of his virtues, and of how highly they were appreciated by his fellow stock- holders of the Atlantio and North Crolin Railroad Company. I move the adoption of tbe following resolu tions i "Whereas since the last meeting of tho stockhoideis t'f the--Atlantic & Xortb Carolina Railroad Company, jChj.
