THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. WILMINGTON, N. C, FEBRUARY 22, 1806. OUR EDITORIAL CORRESPOSDEXr-E. Vie State of Business before the Leoislatvre-The Freedmen's Code Revenue and Militia Bills 'J7ic Public Debt and Vie Banks The Negro and the Jury Boa Railroad Passengers to be Taxed " City cf Wilmington ' Outlives of the Bill intro duced in the Legislature to incorporate Wilmington as a Ciy, d'c. , d'c. IUixigu, X. C, Feb. loth, 1K6. -Although all the important matters are yet to b acted upon, members arc beginning to get restless and already express desire to end the ses sion. A proposition has already been adopted m the house, proposing to raise a joint committee upon the question of adjournment, but the senate did not concur. None of the bills reported by the commission on freedmen have, yet been acted upon. The revenue and militia bills arc unreported, and nothing has yet been done in reference to the public debt, and coupons now due, or in regard to the banks of the state. The bill giving the negro the right to tes tify, after having bee debated in the committee of the whole house for nearly two weeks, and fa vorably reported upon, was referred to the judi ciary committee, and is now ca the calendar, with a favorable report also from that committee. Notwithstanding this, many members regard it doubtful as to its fate in that body. The general impression, however, is that it will pass the com mons, while the chahces in the senate are not so good. The revenue bill will be reported the hist of this or the first of next week. The bill will propose to tax railroad passengers one-tenth of one cent per mile, -as a new source of revenue. Col. Cowan's bill to incorporate the inhabitants of Wilmington, provides for a city government, to be divided into four wards as" follows : The first to include that part of the city which is north of the middle of Market street and east of the middle of Third street : The second, that part which is north of the middle of Market street and west of the middle of Third street : The third, that part which is south of the middle of Market street and west of the middle of Third street, and the fourth, that part which is south of the middle of Market street and east of the middle of Third street. There shall be a Maj or and eight Alder men, one-half of the Aldermen to be elected every year the elections to be held on the Thursday after the third Monday in December. Tho Mayor to hold office for cne year. Tho salary of the Mayor not to exceed $2,000. The chief executive officer shall be the Marshal, who shall be Chief of Police, head of the Fire De partment, and collector of the city taxes, with power to appoint a deputy to assist in collecting taxes. The salary of the Marshal shall not exceed 2,000, to be fixed by the board. The board may appoint one or more assistant marshals and such other police force as they may deem necessary. The marshal to give bond. The board to appoint a clerk and treasurer, with a salary not to ex?eed 61,500. That as soon as practicable after the rati fication of this act, and the giving of ten days no tice, the sheriff of New Hanover shall hold an elec tion for Mayor and two Alderman for each of the four wards of the city; the sheriff to decide, by lot, which one of two persons elected from each of the wards shall hold office for the long and who for the short term. At this first election, the sheriff shall provide a box in which each voter may vote for "acceptance" or "refusal," and should there be a majority of votes w ith the word " refusal " thereon, then the act to be null and void. This bill is now before the committee on corpo rations, and will doubtless be reported favorably upon in a day or two, and the bill of course will pass both branches without opposition. As the bill refers itself to the voters of tho citizens of Wil mington for ratification, they will be called upon at an early day to decide the important question in reference to their corporation government. The bill has been drawn with great care, and pro Tides fully for all contingencies likely to arise. Snstaiii tlie Executive. The more we reflect upon tho opinion expres sed by the President upon the subject of recon structing the union, tho more anxious we are that he should receive the cordial and unwavering sup port of the entire country. Are we doing it? Professions unaccompanied by action are worthless. Wo know that ho is do ing all that he can to defeat the indefensible and unpatriotic designs of an iinscrnpulons faction, to bring disorder and disgrace urion the country, Will we not co-operate with him? Are we doing it? Would it not bo well to call a public meeting in this community, to embody tho opinion we en tertain of the President's conduct of public affairs? Would it not be well for the General Assembly of North Carolina to assure Mr. Johnson that they approve his reconstruction policy, and that they will render all tho support they can, to enable him to carry it to a successful conclusion? Maryland has already done this. On the seventh of this month resolutions to sustain tho President passed the lower house. The next day' they were acted upon in the Senate, and passed that body only four members voting in tho negative. - Let us then follow this example. Meetings are being called all over tho country, says the National Intelligeiieer, to strengthen the President's hand, One has been called, or rather suggested to be held in Richmond on the 22d of this month. It strikes us a most fitting dedication of the day.- A day already sacred in tho history of this country could not be more appropriately spent. Y hat say tne citizens ot llmmgton W hat say the embodiment of the dignity and wisdom of North Carolina ? Are you not willing to strength en the arm of the "Executive authority for the maintenance of constitutional right ?" If you are, why procrastinate ? Why lose in supineness the precious moments ? Let us rather be up and do ing, lest we lose by delav. Remember, citizens of the South, we " are debarred representation in the national congress denied the opportunity for re cuperation from the prostrating effects of civil Btrife subjected to anxiety and suspense as regards our political future provoked and discouraged by the taunts and menaces of the dominant p'arty, and made to realize the humiliation, , the degrada tion of a vassalage dependent upon the whims and caprices of an arrogant, exacting and unscru pulous faction." . . " "; X . jj Sleeting to Sustain the President. The country Js beginning to exhibit a determin ation to give a more substantial support to the President's reconstruction policy. Opinion is be ing embodied in action. Public meetings are be ing called, for the 22d of February, to give Mr. Johnson the comforting assurance that his course, us t orsbadowed jn. hia iaterriewa with tho Dong- las Montana and Virginia delegations, receives the annrobation nl will roniinand tho onuoJ ; 1 ' - . .. . : support of all pa" i"s m - impenum suugie linen' We uWrv with mat pleasure, i i our country exclmi ep received !;' m-'h. hut mars meeting already caUedxn manv j.Iuct s tfr tho 221 of Tebruarv, witbmit distinction of piiiy, to eadoiae the petition ot the iYesi dnt upon th-'proroPfd r evolutionary measures of the radical faction in ronsreei..

There is some speculation amoiig the newspaper press in this state, and out of it. about tho forma tion of a ' new political part' in North 'Carolina' all growing out of the fact that Geii. T. L. Cling man has recently spent some time in lialeigh, and it is alledged has been frequently closeted with Mr. Ilolden. Now, Ir. Clingnian and Mr. Ilolden are both ambitious and aspiring men, neither "disposed to lie in cold obstruction, and to rot," (although we have heard it profanely suggested that the ex- provisional was " too dead to skin, ) but that their intercourse has had any such object as the forma tion of a new political party, wo regard as simply nonsense and utterly untrue. WTc hope that they are better patriots, and meu of too much sagacity to desire or design, to "build their greatness on their . country's ruin." Party ! This is no time to be dabbling in the dirty pool of party politics. Tho state is prostrate and bleed ing at every pore, she loudly demand' the curative skill of her purest and ablest sons to restore her to health and happiness. Out! then, upon tho in human wretches who would distract hor councils and retard her restoration by this miserable gabble of party. Perhaps, we might more charitably account for the intercourse, recently had between these gentle men. May it not be true, that Mr. xloldeu desires to get rid of the Standard, and establish another paper in Washington City? If this be true, is it not natural that General Clingman might desire to control a leading press, situated at the capital of the state? The Veto. Tuk telegraph in yesterday's paper brings to us the gratifying intelligence that President Johnson has vetoed the bill for enlarging the powers of the freedmen's bureau, upon the ground of its un constitutionality. This bill proposed to establish an agent in every county where frcedmen and re fugees exist ; and the expenses of theso agents, of course, were to be defrayed by the general govern ment. This would have added several millions of dollars yearly to the national debt, and would have been obliged to be met by an additional increase of taxes to be levied upon the people. . We of the south lind difficulty enough .now, in paying the taxes which are absolutely required, to carry on tho govemmenr. without any addition thereto, for the purposes of aiding false philanthrophy. If con gress will let the negro, alone, and confine itself to its legitimate duties, there will bo great hope that our lands will once more be worked under a profit able system" of cultivation, and our people bo re stored to their former-state, of happiness. Too much legislation is a eurso to u country. , Presi dent Johnson has once more given tho south. xe newed assurances of his protecting caro. - 'IIe is continually proving, by his manly course, that the rights of the states of the south were not entirely overthrown iu the downfall of their late confeder acy. He is determined to be the president of the whole country, not president of a part alone, rul ing with the power of a supreme dictator oyer the conquered territories of the south. Freedom is not altogether dead unto us ; it lives as long as he holds the reins in his firm unyielding; grasp. Let us stay his hands, and do all in our means to aid him in his struggle for constitutional rights against the actions of the mad radicals, who would gladly see the bright 4sautherh' stars submerged in. the waves of bloottined and rain. Already they call him an usurpexfroni a territory, not a free inde pendent state cl these United States. It is they who would be usurpers in seizing upon the gov ernment, Hud running n mad career, : Until civil liberty perished never more to rise. Ij'etuscall mass meetings all.pver our land, apd the peopleyy endorsing his conservative course, will add an other hmrcl to his imperishable crown of honor.

That is the language of this party after the. battle is over and the victory won. By the by, they do not give us the same assurance that fat John did, for "said he, "If I do grow great, I'll grow less; for I'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly as a nobleman should do."

We were pained to learn from the lialeigh I'ro gress, that a large frame dwelling, belonging to Mrs. Frank - Haywood, situated a mile east - of Kal eigh, was burned down a few nights since. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. When we say we are pained to see toe destruction of this mansion, it is not so much on account of the ma terial loss, although at this, or perhaps at any time, that may be a considerable item. But we wero thinking of the historical associations con nected with the original proprietor, Wilie Jones; of revolutionary fame. The Jones family of Halifax, were characterised by wealth, refinement, social promiuence, and political distinction, and none more so than Wilie Jones, who for many years, in fact until the period of his death, was the leader of tho democratic party in North Carolina. Hh was the leader of his party in the convention which asscm- j bled to deliberate upon the federal constitution iu 1788, and which was at that time rejected. lie was no orator but rather a jolitical strategist. We recollect Judge Daniel, late of the supreme court, once remar ked to us, while speaking of the prominent men of that convention, "one stamp of the foot, and one G d d n of Wilie Jones had more iulluenee in the convention than the- combined eloquence of Johnson, Iredell and Davie. We turn to Wheeler and find upon page .1X8, he thus speaks of Mr. Jones while a member of ; the convention, which met in the old borough of Hills borough,, to deliberate upon the adoption of the federal constitution : In politics sa iu war, strategy is often used. Wilie Jones, Judge Spencer, Bev. Daid Caldwell, General Joseph Vlc Dowell, and others, wore leaders of the opposition, and conscious of tlcir numerical strength, as wfl as of the in tellectual powers of its eloquent and talented advocates, JohDson. Iredell, Davie and others, they maintained a sullen and' portentous silence. They forced its friends to the .unenviable position of imagining the grounds of oppo sition, and then defending the constitution. The advan tages of this position wero great. On the third daj' pf the session, the. president (Samuel Joknsoi, then governor of, the state,) laid before the con vention an official copy of the ; constitution, with accom panying documents. Mr. Wilie Jones moved that the que; tion" upon the constitution be - taken without debate, and be put lmmeoiateiy. irus was opposea by Jlr. Iredell, Mr. Davie and others. Such however, was the tact of Mr. Jones, that the learning of Iredell, the eloquence of Davie, the intellectual power of Johnscn, availed but little. The convention, by a vote of to 84, rejected the in strument. North. Carolina,. placed, upon, her sovereicn rights, remained out of the Union. . On the third Mondav in.

Prof. Buckland, at a public meeting lately held in Oxford, said that in the parish of rit. Mar garet, Leicester, containing 22,000 inhabitants, it appeared that one portion of it was effectually drained, some parts but partially so, and others not at all. In the latter, the average duration of life is thirteen years and a half, while in the same parish, where the drainage is only . partial, the average is twenty-two years and a half, thereby showing the frightful eG'ects of a bad atmosphere. A little girl was lately reproved for playing out doors with boys, and informed that being seven years old, she was "too bier for that now."

SrEAKEii : While, as a member of this house, 1 am one among the youngest, yet, I have had probably nmre experience in the business of life than many who arc here, and I say t" yon, sir, and the other members of this body, that the vhcupeit employees 1 have ever had, were those whom 1'paid the hiyhept wages. You may give t he clerk of the treasury t'l ,-VX) per annum, and then, sir, I have no hesitation in saying, that if his duties air faithfully performed, he is. all things considered, the cheapest officer in the state. He r, eir the confiden tial clerk of the treasurer. He is, therefore, necessarily the custodian of nil the treasure of the state. He gives no security, but his principal gives a bond in the sum of $250,000 ftri" the safe keeping of the funds, and for tho faithful discharge of his other duties as treasurer. This being the case, the treasurer must not only have a man in whose honesty he thinks ho may confide, but, sir, he must have one whoso intenriiij in like Csr's wife, "above sus picson." Such is, I venture r.- assert, the character of the gentleman now employed as dork by our treas urer. y On motion of Mr. Marler, the house reconsidered the vote by which on yesterday 4$4,000" was stricken from the bill and "$3,000" msertvd "as the salary of the governor.

He moved that the amendment lie on the table, but subsequently withdrew the motion at the request of Mr. Caldwell.
