Ihe.cUn-e nt the war leit one great problem to lie aolved, namely, what waa the refcUlt Upon the political Cou iitiou of the Htatea theu lately in re b. lliou. At flrat there seemed to be but oue doctrine. J hia waa the d ic- t riii embraced iu the policy held by fieNidi'iit Lincoln and laa Cabinet; the dootriue whioh nndorlaid all tlie dmlarat ioiih of Colieren made, from time to time, during the wor, ond over au J again, proclaimed almont in tenia the dootriue alHO tu I reaident Jotin a iu and hia Cabinet lii Cabinet be ing the aame a that of hia p edecoa or, Lincoln, Thia duenna w ia that, all political power norciaed within theae Htutea wa almolutely extuigui 'h- ed. and that all oivil offloea were va caut. f rom the higher.t to the loweat from that of the Governor to that of the oonatable. It waa bold, however, that notwithstanding tjie war and the au id ligation of the Houth, the Htatea n n ft ned aa prlit'oul ert ties, and that I the Cotiatitutiou remained, it waa held, further, that certain alterationa should be made iu the Constitutions to adjust them to tho new order of thinga. Tho alterations demanded in thia Htate were: lat, the repeal of the Ordinance of JJew'Mttoti; 2d, tho email cpntion of slaves; 3d, the repudiation of the debt contracted in aid of the re bellion. To t'ttVet tueaactmtiges a Con vention was deemed ncceaaary. That Convention was called by ti e Provis ional Oovernor; for the Htnte until a new Oovernment could be formed waa placed under a provisional govern rue nt a goverment military in ib origin and nature, though making use of civil machinery. Thia Conven tion met in the Fall of I8t5. At this Convention the several alterations de manded were made and were approved at Washington. The State was now thought to be placed in proper eonsti tntional relations to the General Gov ernmei t. At the same Convention an ordinance was made for holding au election for Governor, members of the held a regular sessiou. Durine tbis session all the vaonnt offices of the Slate were filled, and our people, liav- ing done all that was required of them. rested in the hope that they had at length a oivil government It was a brief delusion. On the 2d and 27th of March, 1866, tho recon struction acts were passed by Con gress uots, tbe effect of which was to lay in the dust the fabrio of govern ment built np ty the Presidentaud his (J:ibinet, btatB were obliterated for the time being, and parcelled out into military districts. Everv office was vacated; not a peace officer was left within the limits of the btate. Eveu the 1'iovisioual Govertment though military iu its nature and powers was dispelled with, perhaps as tending to delude us, as to our true situation, by its civil forms. A General, in oom mand ot an army, took possession ot the Department, once the State of North Citroliua, Htaik militaiy rulo was established. The will of the com manding General was absolute; and ttiougu conns oi a certain sort ootitiu utl to be held, the General iu com mand interposed at pleasure, and con troded their proorndings as absolutely as he controlled the movement f his tioops on the m rch or in tin- field Such a ffoverument can Iih fiilv nlmr. aoter d by one term only that of i stem a spoiism. The diff renee between the "policy," as it was called, of the President aud Cabinet, and what was culled the tjongressiouai roiiey is seeu at a glaucn.

That tho Convention oi TM was a rr strinted Convention, ia matiiieat from the terms of the above order. The reasons why-it was made so by Cou ntess whose agent the Geueral in coinm.ind was amy be deduced from a few obvious consideration, 1st. The intent and mirposo of Congress. It is plain that the object waa to place North Carolina in proper rel tiouatothe rVderal Uovetumetit, aud to Rive to her 'institutions, nomo Ritueoua w Ib those of the loyal States, institutions whioli should preclude, n fur as human foresight could go, all possibility of future iuter ial dis ur bmoe or collision with tbe General Government This purpose oonld be fully aocomplishetl by a restricted Convention, v 2d. Congress was fnl1y cognizant of the fact that a Convention called as that was, not by the people ot the State, but by a force ab txtra was an anomaly in Amencau institutions, aua it intended to derogate irom me prin ciple which underlies thot-0 institu tions aa little as might be consistent with the objects which it iutendtd lo accomplish. ' !ld. The terms of Reconstruction were in conflict with the fuudfimi'utal principles of the Americau Govern ment iu regard to all matters of citi. zcuship embraced therein. Cougress assumed to dispose of this matter without power aa the Coiistiution then stood. U tizenship was peculiarly a oucstion for the Slate, except that Congress might pass uniform Natural ization laws. By the Acta of 1U ooti' struction Congress disfranchised a very large number of the best citizens of North Carolina ana invested with suflrago scores of thousands of liber stimed that any further invasion of tho Constitution was intended than was absolutely liecessarr to carrv out the. objects of the Aots, toward tbe formation of a oivil government. 4th. Wiso prudential reasons re quired it to be restricted. " Tho dis franchising and enfranchising clauses of those Acta would take the political oonvrol from thoje who were accus tomed to the duties of oitizenship, from those who were trained in the study and administration of gnveru- roen t.a'jd transier them to a body of men newly emerged from bondage, totally ignorant of the uature of government; to men likely to be misled or delnded bv any needy adventurer, who might c house to practice upou their credulity aud confidence. The result proved the foresight of Congress; everything iu that Convention was moulded aud shaped by that class of men. The peo ple of North Caroliua found none to spenk fur them there. A few wonld havH made a stand for her ancient in stitu ious and laws, but they were si lt need and paraljced by the theu lie uled crv of dislovaltv. ' Thnr, whether we Unit to the letter of the jower under winch that Con vention auted; whe her we apply the wsl) feilltil rules of ooutruolion almve all, when we look, to the intent aud pnipos-of Congress as expressed iu the very nam by which those acta are designated reconstruction aotj sots for rebuilding a government w.iicli has been destroyed we ie forced to the conclusion that its pow t ars wr limiwd to the formation of a Cvustitntion, sad to that ah ne. The oouolnsion then is inevitable, that the Convention having exceeded ita pow srs, th bonds issued under its an- i li'r t r are utd riy and absolute' 1 Mid.

But the principle of Ilcooustruotioo ia quest ion which is foreign to tue pres ent purpose. Ho much for tho bnnrts issued under ... . . . the authority of the Convention. Those were, however, in amount com paratively small. Let ns proceed to intme ismed by the authoiity of -the L gislalnre of lMS-'M and 'M-'TO, which mnke tip the bulk of what is oil e I the New Debt. ' TliCM in no part of the history of North Carolina, to which au honest man who loves hi State, recurs with sj much pain aa the history of that L"giida' nre. It seemed to bn anima te I by one feeling only, to bring down our dear old Commonweahh to the li'e4 point of degradation; tof de atroy, utterly, the few wrecks and rem- n ints of property spared to na by the ir lhe r rami Commission Keport develnpca a state of .sots in regnrd to tho Legislature alike unprecedented aud shocking; yet incapable ol denial, beiiig estatlihhed bf the sworn teau inouy of tho chief actors. To assist tut di l beratious of tho members a fr() hac room waa set up iu oue wing ot tue Cupitol. Bamu freely resorted to the sessions txlubited a contiuntd scene of riotuua ami drunken revel. If the press of ihe State can be trust ed and it ia always held to be legiti mtte evidence ou questions like this, other so ii''S were exhibited there of a uature that can only be daiklr hinted ui; a 'cues that belong to the lowest haunts of vice and crime. The pro. ca llings ol th'.s Jjegislatur were of a pleoe with these thugs. RitiRH" were formed throngb whom duly ouuld ncct as be bad to the Legis lature. At tho bend of these were ft few of those miscreants spawned upon us at that unhappy time, horn the worst part Of the North men detest ed and pnrned tl are as her. With tin m even lmneii some lew from our own Stute; M 0 vs of the baser sort, who had ben thrown np temporarily by the agitntiou of tbe t 1 iutiou j int as by deep stirring the mud is turowu up to the sufac. By these a sy tern of fiaud, pi 'dilution and ven ality was organized, the like of which h id not until that time beeu seen! , A regular Legislative brokerage was established, and wh' ever wanted an ant passed hud to pay a fee to the "Ring." What the fee on an ordinary ntwus, is not knoivn; the evidence d es not show. But the tariff ou rail r nid bonds, we bave under their own oath; it was teu per cent, null the bonds voted. What, tho hordo of mem bers received we are ignorant of; for here, too, the evidence is ailent, It w isja most proflukble traflic, and in tbe proiecutiou ot it then waa thought of the people of North Carolina. No question was asked as to what were the needs of the people, or what t he c-edit of the State would beatt The 0 ily question asked was, who wants a Rxilroad Bill passed, and who will pny the per oeiitiige on the bouda voted? Our peop'e bad loudly ex pressed their iudigoatiou at some of the proceedings of the Convention. When they fuuud out, for iustnnce, tli.it the change in tbe Con stitution in relation to the State Debt was inserted, as a basis for cor rupt speculation iu the old bonds; when they found out that the clause in relation to the tenure of office was fraudulently foisted in by one who piqued himself upon the cleverness with which the fraud waa accomplish nr people were left in mute amaze, It. is needless to dwell upon the pro ceedings of that Legislature- any longer; rnffioe it to say, that in the name of the Btate of North Carolina exhausted and prostrated by a de strnctive civil war bonds were issned to an amount that would have stag gered the great aud prosperous Htatea of New York or Massachusetts.
