'i i o ae's of Congress above referred t i .vlndi'd from registration and from :;i;!:"rat;e all persons who having taken a-i "':ith of office to support the Cou ft:tt:tien t f tho United States, after- '.:1:3 aided or abetted in the war "JvUnst the United State-?, thereby dis franchising thousands of our best citi :'a ,.s. The interpretation of those acts ni: the number of citizens disfran chised thereby, rested solelywith Gcn cr,; CaLby who in point of fact by a ' Circular' Order dated 31st October, 1"''7, specified to what classes of citi ' -ns uHVago should be refused and to wI'f- it should be granted. By this cnler a large number of voters were unfranchised. It appears then, even if Mr. Ilussell received a majority of the votes cast at the election so-called, in April, 18G8, tli.tt ho was elected not in accordance with the Constitution of the State but n plain violation of one of its plainest 1-revisions to wit: that suffrage should universal. This being so, f Mr. lhr-:sell was elected at all lie was elect f 1 nly according to Canby. As a PMif-r.il rule North Carolinians prefer J- have their Judges elected according 'J-vx rather than according to Canby. '' much for the election. And now t. the result and the way that result W:,s "'-'rtained and published. After the election, so-called, was f-v r, tij returns were sent to General I'ihyat Charhiston, and by him or "'nofiiecrnntlerhis command, were nip.ire i a!1 general order issued micing, among other th irs. that - f. L,. Kussell Jr. was elected "'"'go for this District an.l I hat n t'-it f that fact would be forward- to him directly from headquarters "Charleston. The order further di- r.?ftfil llml 11.. -r. ?oted that the Post Commanders filion!,l soo that Mr. T?;i-oll 1 . j i -.i4odi,ii anil , uws- wil were not ban nod, should o indnrK-..i into office after takinsr U 'a proper oaths. If there is any other evidence of the ' that Mr. Russell received a major- even of the votes that General anby permitted to be to., o.i fln.L O UU save a general order issued from Charleston, South Carolina, we kii.-nv not what that evidtneo is. If there ha3 eer been any examination oreorn- paiisoa of the votes cast in that elec tion, so-called, by any official or even by any citizen of North Carolina we have yet to learn the fact. "Whether Mr. Kussell Las now, or ever has had, auy commission from any Governor of North Carolina we cannot say with certainty, for of late, Gov ernors of North Carolina Lave done ni largely unlawful things. iut we do say that we very confidently believe he has not now, nor ever Las had, any evidence o:" his election even by the nidi Canby permitted to vote, save the certificate of General Cauby. We say further that if any Governor of North Carolina istued any eommiKsicn to Mr. lliiasell we know of no authority by which he could have done so, save that fcf.mo certificate of that tame General Can by. It has been charged, but with what truth we know not, that the compari son of the votr s made in Charleston, showed that the lbidieal candidate for Governor, had not received a majority of the otes cast. Whether this charge be true we know not, but we do know that all the votes in that election were upon one ticket, and the presumption is,that if one candidate was defeated all were defeated. But whether true or false, Canby's certificate and Lis order set tled everything, for that was the only eviderco in the ease. Anl well it might, for the power of the man who, from his residence in one State, could order the arrest and trial by military tribunal of citizens of another State; who appointed and re moved tit wilJ, I'.ij a Ictcyra?)), the highest State oliiciuls; who held the officers of cities and peace officers of counties "responsible" to himself for the performance of their duties; who opened and closed at will citizens' places of business and permitted or forbade traffic at will; who enlarged or limited suffrage- at will; convened Conventions and seated and unseated members; who appropriated by milita ry orders the moocy in the Public Treasury and levied and collected taxes, as to him might cecm best, lacked nothing of being absolute. Here is a man who was elected, if elected at all, at an election held un der a military order from General C'anby and by virtue of which order onl j-, was it possible for any ono to vote at all; by another order from that same General Canby who ordered tho election, a large number of the voters of North Carolina were excluded from suffrage in violation of tho Constitu tion of the State; tho only evidence we have that this man received a ma jority of even the votes permitted to be cast, is a certificate of thi3 same Gen eral Canby, who ordered his Post com mander to soo him put in possession of his Judgeship ! Do not these facts justify ns in call ing Mr. Hussell, Canby's Judgo ? Whose Judge is he, if not Canby's ? White men of tho Fourth Judicial District are you willimg to make ' 'Canby'e Judge" "the people's Judge ?" no rvr.ouoi.N iiikiiu: sci.i KQUAIiITY Commenting on tho recent elope ment of the daughter of a carpet-bagger at Port Gibson with a negro, the Yieksburg Herald, of tho 9th, prints the following synopsis of the speech of a negro, who, it appears, is a mem ber of the Mississippi Legislature, named Davenport: "The timo was not far distant when the Port Gibson olfair wouhl bo re peated daily it would be nothing to see large numbers follow tho example of that young lady. He would ,go i'uither, and eay there wero thousands of Southern women, many here in Vicksbarg, of the mo.st respectable families, who would do so to-day, were they not afraid. But these things would change, barriers wouhl be broken clown, for the white women now see that the negro is the coming man and that they have tho control of the city and State governments. If he were not a married man he could get the daughter of one of the best families in Yieksburg, and were he in the matrimonial market, he would buckle on a brace of revolvers and meet the women's brothers or fathers who would dare to interfere with his love affairs, or rather, attempt to pre vent daughters and sisters from tneir choice in the selection of a good hus band (whom they were anxious to have) among the colored men." These sentiments, says the Mobile Iicristsr, it will be borne in mind, were uttered by a colored legislator of Mississippi to an assemblage of ne groes and white Radicals, not one of whom uttered a protest against them, but all of whom must be regarded as applauding them, since silenco gives consent. OlK CAS iDIDA-I IiS. Of Colonel Alfred Moore Waddeli-, for the third time our candidate for Congress, the columns of the Journal have made too frequent and too hon orable mention for years past, to ren der it necessary for us to say a single word now. Twice already has he borne tho flag of our party in triumph. In 1870, in the very darkest hour of our political existence, when scarcely a ray of light brightened the sky, and in tho very dying hours, as ifc were, of the cam paign, he gallantly led the forlorn hope and snatched a brilliant victory from the very jaws of defeat. And again, in 1872, he approved himself Lo bo worthy of the confidence that was reposed in him. From one end of the district to the other, and in every part of it, he is thoroughly well known, and his re nomination by the Convention at Magnolia under tho operation of the two-thirds rule, shows beyond all doubt what a strong hold lie has upon the affections of his constituents. Soldier, scholar and statesman, as he was so happily characterized by Mr. Davis in his nominating address before the Convention, Colonel Wai dell received from its members proof of confidence and affection of which any man might well be proud. Colonel At.TiMAIvD Alktkakpeb Mc- Kov, of Sampson, the candidate of our party for Judge in this Judicial District, is about forty-eight years of age, end has filled many high places of honor and trust in his native county. He was the Attorney for tho county under the old County Court system. During Governor Bragg's term of ofli je ho was ono of the Counsellors of State. He served with credit to himpelf for several terms in the Senate of North Carolina and as also a mem ber of the Reconstruction Convention of 1SG5, assembled under orders from Andrew Johnson. In a word, in whatever position in life he has been placed, Colonel McKor has acquitted himself with credit to himself and to his people. A man of varied and ex tensive legal learning, of spotless purity and irreproachable integrity, polite in his manners and courteous in his demeanor alike to rich and poor, and possessing both their confidence and their love, Colonel McKoy is well worthy of tho high honor that has been conferred tipon him. Nor was the Convention less fortu nate in its selection of a candidate for the office of.S olicitor. Captain William S. Nokmekt, of Robeson county, is a gentleman of whom v.e may well be proud. Gradu ating at Chapel Hill in the year 1857, he commenced at once tho study of the law. and came to the bar daring the next year. Just as he had aid the foundation of a good practice, the war came on, and ho straight way, took up arms in defence of his State. First, as a member of the 18th Regiment and subsequently ns a Cap tain in the 51st Regiment of North Carolina Troops, for fours years Mr. NonMKvr proved himself in camp and on the battle Held to be a gallant soldi, r and officer, faithful and true in the di.-.chargM of all his duties, nis immediate comrades say that where danger was greatest there Norment was sure to be. But it is not merely as a soldier that Captain Normext de serves commendation. He is a good lawyer, a man of fine mind a forcible speaker, and withal a man whose pri vate character as well as his political record is without spot or blemish. Af ter the war he was the Attorney for the county before the County Courts were abolished. Ho is at jircsent a member of the lower nouso of the Legisla ture, wlicro ho has earned a truly en viable reputation. With such candidates as these and presented to tho people under such encouraging auspiccF, there can be no doubt of saccess if our party friends shall only do their duty. Ye have a clear Conservative majority in both tho Judicial and the Congressional Districts. We have only to poll our acknowledged strength and tho victory will be ours. Jl IHCIAL ; II A. 711 Alt. CA.MIVS ji ix.i: as a fiET-reu u niir.it. The following letter has been hand ed to us for publication by the gentle man to whom it was addressed. It is understood to be substantially a fair sample of the letters Judge Russell has been sending to Conservatives in various part3 of the District. The letter reads as follows : - Wilmington, May 9th, 1871. Dear tSir: I am a candidate for re election. I am gratified to learn that every true Conservative and lover of law approve of my official course. I regard you as one of those men and am assured that I will largely be sup ported by them. If elected, and of it there seems no doubt, my future con duet will be what it has been in the past. Your3 very truly, Dan. L. Russell. "Jess so, Josiah." And that is ex actly what is the matter, may it please your Honor. The people are terribly afraid that in what you intended to say in the last sentence of your letter you told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; in a word, that if re-elected your future conduct will be as bad as your past. And that is the very reason they do not intend to re-elect you. The people do not want a man on the bench who disregards judicial propriety by going out of his way to make public proclamations to the ne groes that he will sustain them in as serting their "right" to go wherever the white man goes; nor one who sus pends judgment upon a convicted rogue for stealing a farmer's hard earned crop; nor one who suspends judgment on a man convicted of taking forcible possession of the house of a poor old widow woman and leaves the man in possession; nor one who has the Sheriff of a county arrested b"can"p that Sheriff required him to pay his taxes; nor one who seeks to bring the law-making power of the government of the State into disrepute by denouncing an act of the Legisla ture as worthy of no more respect than a resolution of a set of cross roads politicians; nor do they want a man on the bench who insults, with out provocation, venerable old men who have nearly reached their three score years and ten! But let ns leave your Honor for a moment and consider your' Honor's letter a most unique production, that it may be safely said has few equals and no inferiors unless it be the work of some other Radical North Carolina Judge who rose with your Honor to the bei.ch on Canby's certifi cate. Plain people have an idea that Judges know something about gram mar as well as law. It may be that this notion is a mere delusion left over from the times when Canby's certifi cate was not accessary to make a Judge in short from the times in which your Honor's official life would never have begun. However that may be, tho idea exists, and lest the rising generation, without regard to race or color may be misled by the fearful and reckless manner in which your Honor uses your parts of speech, it may not be out place to ask by what authority your Honor makes the plural verb approve, agree with a singular nominative. The rule if we remember ! -:i,i rit . miiii, icuua lUiiuiiH i A verb must agree icitJi it nomina tive in number and person. The use of the word every precludes the possibility of a plural nominative, for every is a distributive pronoun, the grammar Eays, nnd while relating to several persons or things "signifies each one of them separately." Will your Honor rise to explain this little matter, or does your Honor hold that it is one of the inherent rights TkI1 y -!- 4 nof . -v XT' -T OOIfll AOn J"1" v,i lUa i'""" control, to vioiatethe laws of grammar as well as those of North Carolina, and that this timo honored old rule, like the solemn act of the General Ass-m- uiy is entitled to no more reepeci man u. resolution 01 u beau, a - .uauu l.-t: r ,ie .li: tlcians And while your Honor is up will you bo kind enough to explain also by wnar. antuority you maite mose auu Prefer to"e, true Conservative"? The rule reads, if we remember aright, that J'ronouns mustagrec with the nouns for which they stand, in gender, num ber and person. Does vour Honor think this rule also worthy of no more respect man a resolution of a set of cross-roads poli- ticians y jjoes your nonor mm m is exactly consistent for oho so tenacious antl solicitous about contempt of court as yourself, to be so very reckless and indifferent about contempt of gram mar ? Poor oltl Liudlev Murray ! -Who ever thought he would be dragged down to the level of cross-roads politicians ? Iheso Iittio mutters of irammar doubtless seem trilling to your Honor compared to the weightier matters of ine law an ootier au rum on negro Ait ... , etpiality for instance. And it may be so, but really it does seem that a Judge on tho bench, and especially one who is a candidate for re-election, ought not to send out electioneering letters so full of errors that even a small school boy would be spanked for. But this is not all. "If eh vt(d," says the Jutlge, "and of it there seems no doubt." Now it is not to be denied that "it, or as some people say "ItiC meaus almost nnvlln'iKT nnil nossili!v iifi onplit tlierfl- fore not to be surprised at any use the o 1 J D . .. ,.. Judge might maJio of the word, but surely this is the first timo we ever lienrd that. ;" moftnt. "if t hffrd" If i" ; ., l i 7..,i aeiu me grammar says a pronoun it u -l n - i ; word used instead of a noun to avoid a disagreablo repetition of the noun." Will your Honor explain by what pro- cess "if elected became a noun ? "Mv future, ermdnet. will be what it has been in the asr," Bay8 the Judge ! This caps the climax ! Did ever any body before Judge Russell have any future conduct in Vaajiant f And does Judge Russell think such a letter as this will fool any "true Con servative and lover of law." Leave the bench Dan. and go to school again, or people will think you are in the wrong placo and that you ought to be a candidate for the Leg islature on the same ticket with Bill Moore, Brewington and Banks and the rest. Bad law, bad manners, bad politics and bad grammar do not make a good Judge ! Ol lt CANDIDATE FOIt COXGIIOS INTUESECO.xl) DISTICICT. Upon the recommendation of the Democratic -Conservative Executive Committee of Wilson county, with the approval of the leading Conserva tives in other parts of the District, the Wilson Advance and other Conserva tive papers place at their mast heads the name of George W. Blount, Esq., of Wilson, as our candidato lo repre sent tne Second Congressional District in the next Congress of the United States. There is no truer or better man in the District than Mr. Blount, and he possesses, in an eminent de gree, those high qualities, which should distinguish a m amber of Con gress. In the language of the Com mittee who have brought him forward, 'He is a gentlemsii of high character, moral and intellectual worth and un doubted patriotism." The Advance closes its announce ment with the following stirring ap peal : People of the second Congressional District ! You now have it in your power to elect a worthy and honorable man to represent you in the next Con gress of the United States. Can it be possible that you will prefer au incom petent and illiterate negro, one who has been convicted of bribe-taking as a Legislator, to George W. Blount, an honest, pure and upright man ? Can the more intelligent and honest por tion of the colored people commit such an act, when they know that it will bring disgrace, not only upon their own race, but upon the State of North Carolina ? We hope and trust not. liemembcr that the election law re quires "That when a voter is chal lenged AT THE POLLS UPON DEMAND of ant citizen of the state it shall be the duty of the inspectors of the Election to require said voter before being allowed to vote to prove by the oath of some other person known to these judges the FACT OF HIS RESIDENCE FOR THIRTY DAYS PREVIOUS THERETO IS T1TE COUN TY IN WHICH HE PUJiFOSES Tu VOTE." Remember also that the election law says "No elector shall be en titled TO REGISTER OR VOTE IN ANY OTHER rRECTNCT OR TOWNSHIP THAN THE ONE IN WHICH HE IS AN ACTUAL OR BONA FIDE RESIDENT OK THE DAY OF ELECTION, AND NO CERTIFICATES OF REG ISTRATION SHALL BE GIVEN."

So much for the negro party candidates for Con- gress, and now a word as the Judicial candidates. Augustus S. Seymour, of Craven, is the neero partv candidate for Judrro in the Third Judicial District. Mr. Sey mour has reptesenteil that county in both branches of the State Legislature; and, by his vote in favor of the Eppes resolution, hereinbefore mentioned, fixed his position upon the Civil Rights question. I In the Fourth Judicial District Mr. Russell is the candidate, though not the public nominee of the negro party. His celebrated Opera House obiter dictum shows that he holds Civil Rights to be a higher law than even an act of Congress. Professedly inde pendent, because too regardful of the sacred character of the exalted posi- tion to seek it through the medium of a party nomination, he is, in fact, the candidate of a party, and is now open- ly engaged in a canvass of Brunswick county. In the Raleigh District Mr. Harris, the negro party candidate for Solici- dissension, or by reason of indepen tor, openly announced his endorse- dent candidates the control of the ment of Mr. Sumner and his Civil next General Assembly to the Repub- Kfe". bill.

In Craven county, Dudley, another negro, who introduced a Civil Richts Bill nf bin own into tlw T.m"iat m-o last winter, and Abbott, also a negro who favored Civil Rights, are the can didates of their party for the Legisla ture.

In the county of New nanover, neaton, white; Brewington and Banks, negroes, avowed advocates of Civil Rights, aro candidates of the negro party. Duncan Holmes, also an avowed Civil Rights advocate, has just been made an Alderman of the city of Wilmington. Edward Cant well, white, who has long publicly favor ed Sumner's bill, and who now advises negroes to vote for no man who is not favorable to Civil Rights, is tho candi date of the negro party for tlie Senate.

Well, three hundred voters, white, with their wives and daughters, assembled at Peter Rourk's residence, to hear what Mr. Davis and Mr. Waddell had to say on the subject of civil rights, for let me tell you Messrs.

Robinson, Esq., Vicc Rrcsidcnt of the Chamber of Coi.i merce : Sir: Your Committee made a tour of inspection to the public works for improving the Harbor during tLe present week. On Tuesday, the 21st, we visited the two Inlets, or swashes across tho beach, (alluded to in our report of the 22d of May last.) Also tne old breakwater, and beach adja cent, Zeke's Island and Federal Point The next day was appointed for a visit to AJaid Head ad its surroundings but was prevented from doinrr so bv a ftl.. e -i -l . Dublin ui wmci an a ram. Since our report of tho 22d of May last, no work whatever has been done, As then advised tho appropriation was entirely exhausted in the earlv iwrt aprii. The swash alluded to in our last re port as being between two and three hundred feet wide has considerably contracted, being now not more than 50 or GO feet wide, and appears dis posed to close itself, although quite deep, and the water passes through with great velocity. Tho second swash is wider than the first, probably 75 to 1G0 feet wide and appears quite deep also; not having seen it before, wo aro unable to say whether it is enlarging or contracting We think they could bo closed with yery little labor or expense. Ifc has been suggested that these swashes aro not dangerous, and will probably close themselves by the operations of na ture, owing to tho extensivo marshes and shallow water of the bay interven ing in a distance of some two miles or more between them and deep water of the river. This may be true, and we hope it may prove so, but wo should feel much better satisfied if they did not exist. The point of beach (previously alluded to as in a dangerous condition) has not worn any since last reported, but rather en larged and strengthened, which is a yery encouraging feature; the beach beyond, however, is evidently wast ing, which may, to some extent, he, attributed to portions of it, which are still exposed to the action of the wind, not being protected by brush fences and shrubbery. The break-water is in vcrv rrood A ;i - condition except the northern end of it, next to Zeke's Island, being laid in suauow water, has been somewhat nu tier mined, and thin, added to some leaks, has produced a current passing through, sufficient to prevent the for mation of beach in front. This; r-in l.e easily remedied, and no doubt will re ceive attention art soon as ivmi;; erations commence. v- Zeke's Island 7 resents no new nr changed features. The dellecting break-water nt UV,"!- eral Toint stands very wrli. The ebb current passing outside of it seems to create an eddy below, which has tho appearance of forming a reef or shoal from its point far out into the inlet curving toward Federal Point shore, some distance below. If this abear ance proves a reality, then wo havn another very encouraging feature in the operations of tho work. Iho suction (ircdce Woodbnrv. ar rived from Baltimore about a week ago, and is now undergoing some ne cessary repairs, which will probably icwu.no u W ttK or l,ro to COT-.l plete, when she will bo ready for work on Bald-head channel, from which we may reason ably expect vtduablo results as nature is disposed to favor it, there now being more water iimu it, than upon the rip cf the old, or western hannel, and is being generally used by essels of 121 feet and under, and re think from an examination of the Coast Survey map of soundings, recently made by Mr. Yinal, anel tho state ments of some of tho pilots, that 14, or even 15 feet may bj towed safely through it. The steam tns East on is still in Bal timore receiving a new boiler and gen eral repairs; in a few weeks we may expect to see her in position, when ac tive operations will commence again. The last Congress made an appro priation of 8150,000 for this work dur ing tho present fiscal year ending Julv 30th, 1875, which is thought by' some to be liberal. Perhaps it is, compara tively, but in reality it is inadequate to a successful issue of the work in hau l. We hoped for a larger amount, but must be content with this, and should nature favor the work in the future as it has done in the past, our Supervis ing Engineer will be ablrf to make- a good report of the appropriation. We are pleased to sny, that Capt. Phillips returned some days ago, tail ia now at his old post, which seems to suit him so well, and we trust he will earn new laurels in this new branch in the science of engineering. We feel gratified in beiug ah'r to re port the general situation of nh'aini .in a much better condition thuu v.e ex pected to find them, and congratulate the Chamber upon th! encouraging aspect before us, tendering the hep" that the operations of tlie present fiscal year will greatly facilitate tho com merce and navigation of our port.
