Incredible, however, ns it may seem, it

of the , Executive Department to obtain
control of the State institutions referred
to, and ;in; the event of an appeal to the

There is no day passing that the radicals

deprive the State Printer of the printing j
awarded him by the Legislature. Cald- i
ivell was defeated in his evil desigus by
a radical Judge.
The state of affairs at the State prison
are ju3t now deplorable. The prisoners
are oojiialf I rations because Caldwell re
fuses to recoguize the officials in charge.

The latest nnd most monstrous exhibi

taken npon, himself the authority to oust
the old ahd regular Directors and ap
point a set' of his ready tools and syco
phants. The old Boards, were duly ap
pointed by jibe Legislature and up to this
time Caldwell has recognized them as
legal, and indorsed all all requisitions for
money: made -for carrying on the institu
tions. i .
He nowappoints a new Board for the

The latest fantastic trick that our
mountebank Cromwell has tried to ,ilay
before high heaven and his gapping party
friends, is in the matter of the appoint,
inenta of Directors for the Puiatcutiary
and Insane Asylum. re
first act in this drama, the effort to take
the public priming from the person le
gally authorised to do the work for the
State, was a complete flah in the pan.
and recoiled upon his Accidency with
laughable effect. But the poor, iufatua
ted, imbecile: creature of ciretitnstanccs
cannot see how great a fiasco le has
made, but drives wooden head once more
upon the stone-wall of law and right, to
meet another disaster.
But there is another aspect of this
matter. The public interests suffer while
this lillipution contest is being wagd.
Notice has been given that no more con
victs can be received at the Penitentktry
until " this cruel war is over !" Ilteie
the interest of justice and the public safe
ty are brought to a standstill at the irate
and irresponsible dictate of a stubborn
Governor, who wantonly trample on tlie
laws of the Sta;e. People of North Car
olina ! contemplate the beauties of this
situation and this amiable rule of this
radical party, that knows no law but the
license of its own sweet will! Behold
your Governor ! See him tread in dis
dain upon every principle of law, justice
and liberty, and make a moA of your own
elected representatives ! See the man
who despises you, and lifts his comimpt

GOV. VANCE AND AMNESTY.
Pending the passage of one of the bills
granting amnesty to individuals named
therein, iu the House Representatives
last week. Speaker Blame called atten
tion to the fact the nam of Gov. Yaxce,
of North Caroliu was inserted iu one of
them contrary to the exceptions agreed
upon by members. The following col
loquy ensued
Mr. Shobci I do not ksow by whose
authority the namereferred to was insert
ed in the bill, but the gentleman in ques
tion does not come withia the category
to which the Speaker refers.
The Speaker Has he not been a
member of Congress ?
Mr. Shober He was a member of
Congress, but he did not resign his seat
to take part in the secession movement.
The Speaker That is sot the point.
The questiou is whether while he was a
member of Congress be vitbdrew there
from and aided the rebelliou.
Mr! Shober He did not withdraw
until on the 4th of March, lbCl, his term
expired, and he was a candidate for re
election at the time North Carolina sece
ded from the Union.
The Speaker The Chair is misinformed
then, as to the precise facte of the case.
'1 he disposition of the lloase has beeu
and is most generous, and the Chair has
been extremely anxious that this might
not be abused.
Mr. Shober I presume some one of
a
my colleagues inserted the natno of Gov.
Vance in the bill in the spirit which tho
Chair seems to intimate.
'Iho Speaker The Chair is entirely
uniniorma wuai gentleman put u in.
Mr. Wadde!l I desire to say one word
as 1 am one of the North Cariltua deLe
galion here. I do not know who insert
ed tho name of Mr. Vance; whoever did
insert it in the bill has not, so far as I
know, violated any understanding, tacit
or otherwise, of the House. Th House
has instructed the Comtnunicalian on the
Judiciary to report an amnesty bill.
The Speaker The Chair does not de
sire argument upon that point. The ques
tion of amnesty is hot now before tho
House.
Mr. Waddell Mr. V.nce, however ob
noxious he may be personally to gentle
men, does not come within the provision
of the law. He did not withdraw fioin
his seat iu Congress and take part in the
rebellion. His term had expired, aud he
was a candidate for re-election at the
time the State seceded.
The Speaker The gentleman well
knows that hadjt been stated yesterday,
whon a call for aucneaty bills was made,
that the name of Mr. Vance was included
it would have elicited discussion and ob
jection iu the House.
Mr. Waddell I do not know that it
worfld b.iVH defeated the. bill at all.
In the afternoon Mr. Leach rose Lo the
following personal explanation :
Mr. Leach Upou coming into th
Hall this rroruing, after the House had
met, I was infoimed by my colleagues
tbatrome excitement had grrwn out of
the ! announcement ef the face-that the
name of Governor Z. B. Vance, of Nortl
Caroliua appeared-aiaong:thtoajaes pre
sented on yesterday Tor incorporation u
a bill for the,removal of diwlilitW. And
it was stated by yourself,' Mr.. Speaker,
as I' understand, that yoii" were sorry the
member wbo presented his'hame'was cftt
present to avow it and ask To have it
withdrawn. Hr, I presented that nam,
and I did it in view of wliat I thought to
be the duty that, involved tapr, rue . -
...... I ir 1
ujemuer ox mis. JJ.OUSQ.,
It is a fact known, I suppose, to the
whole House that Governor Vance is not
one of those excluded by any rule or vote,
of this House. He was a member of Con
gress with me before the war, and we
remained here meting and voting as Ua
lon men until the expiration of our terra
and the inauguration of the late lamented
President Lincoln.
This House has, by three-fourths or
four-fifths majorty, psscd uot less than
four or five bills removing th. disabilios
of Governor Vanco. More than tbat, sir,
his relief is recommended Ly ex-Gov
Holden, of North Carujiim, ad also, f
h ive understood, bvthe msr i,t fi
Govj Caldwtll ; and 1 believe all five of
tne itepublicau Judges of the Supreme
Court of my State. In addition to that,
the Leg.slatureT of North Carolina, cm
bracing one bnodred and seventy mem
bers, and. containing a large Republican
minority, passed, with but nine or Uu
dissenting voUs, a resolution which was
ent to ttHs Congress askin? for th re.
moval of tha disabilities of Gov. Vance.
lliese, sir, are facts which r
record : and I take
nd here that those who L-mw ...
that I am incapable of any co.iduct in
compatible with therharacter of a gentle
man or of taking any improper ad vautage
u nny ma iter oi mis kind.
Now, sir, as this House had passed
everal bills for the ruuuval f th de
bilities of Gov. Vance, and a h n. t
embraced iu the classes which have been
excluded In the general bills, 1 had a
got to present ins namv in the manner
did as that of a warm personal frieud
id a generous hearted men and i..
an
doing I was renreentiucr tl. r
my State. I kuow that 1 was renrenrnt.
ing nineteen-twenticths of more than two
hundred and twenty thousand votsrs of
North Caroliua of both parties aud both
races. I know. sir. tbat (I
with whom 1 am well acquainted, would

TAKE YOUR HOME TAPER.
The following is takn from the edito
rial columns of the Lady's Book for the
present month : " What tells as so read
ly llie standard of a towu or city as the
appearance of its paper I And its youth
or its age can as well be determined by
the observing as by a personal notice.
The euterpridr of its citizens is depicted
by its advertisements, their liberality by
the looks of the paper. Some papers
show n good, solid, healthy foundation,
plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appear
ance generally; others 'show a striving
io contend with the grasping thousands
around them, trying hard to wrench. out
an existence from Jio close-fisted commu
nity around them. An occasional mete
oric di.-if.luy in its columns of telegraph,
or local or of editorials, how what it can
do if it had the means, but it cannot
continue in the expensive work until sup
port comei', which ought to be readily
granted. A newspaper is like a church ; it
is wants foster'g iu the commencement, aud
for a few years ; then as a general t hing, it
can walk along, and rellect credit upon
its location. Take, your homo paper; it
gives you more news of immediate inter
est than X. Voik or other papers; it talks
for yon when other localities belie you ;
it stands up for your rights ; yon always
have a champion in your home paper,
and those who stand up for you should
certaiuly be well sustained. Your inter
ests are kiudred aud equal, and you must
rise or fall together. Therefore, it is yonr
interest to suppoit your -home paper ; as
a pleasure, not as a disagreenblc duty,
but as an investment that will amply pay
the expenditure."

In England an acre of the cultivated
root is said, by tha firm referred to, to
command cClOO. The root is also impor
ted by the United States from Spain,
Italy, Sicily, Franc, and Russia, but
chiefly from th two first named.
En;crtaining tbe opinion, after some
investigation, ibat the root can be suc
cessfally cultivated iu several of the
Southern and Wcsteru Suite, Messrs.
Meoler Sc Rittcnhousa consider that new
industry may be fostered, relieving us of
the necessity of importing a valuable and
indispensable product. The root 1 worth
from five to ten cents per pound, accord-!
ing to quality, and three pounds will yield
one pound of the extract. In addition to
the. yield of extract, the crushed and pow
dered root s applied to various minor
uss. Messrs. Meeler !c Rtttenhouse at
tribute the decreasing importations io the
statement above made from the Bureau
of Statistics, to the high tax on ping to
bacco, in which the extract is used, and
a discrimination in favor of fine cut chew
ingj the tax on which is about one-half
that on ping tobacco.
The followiug considerations upon the
subjtct of introducing the culture of the
root into this country wwc submitted by
the Commissioner;
J am not aware that thia root ha ever ben
a nucecwful culture here not by any im-aiui on
