The article VOL-XV.-NO.il28. characterizes this as fgross- neglect. Mr. McRae continued; If the article had referred to "himself alone, he should have passed it by in ; silence, as he had neither tneltime nor mcli nation to get into controversies! with newspapers, but as it! reflected upon the action of a committee, of which, he was chairman, he felt it his duty to say that the bill referred to had been held in the committee and was still h4eld at the request jofj its introducer, the gentleman from; Madison, who, as hs author, had'cqntrol of the bill. V Mr. Gudger said i ' Having! intro duced the Consolidation Bill' re ferred to in the . Charlotte Observer, and having it specially in charge, I asked the Committee not to consider it until after the r'ebess. Upon our meeting after Christmas the ijchair raaB of the Committee applied to trie three several times id'know if ! I de sired its consideration. . At my re. quest a special meeting was "called and the statements of myself and iers were heard by the committee with patieuce.

A Capital and. Timely Doenment. Washington, February 18. The following address has just been pre pared by the Democratic members of Con gress from the outh and Southwest To the people pf the Southern States: You have confided to the undersigned in tbis conjuncture of affairs the delicate and dim cult task of guarding ia the Federal Con gress your public interests, your rights, and reputation.! iou will mere tore pardon tne liberty we take of addressing you at a per iod so critical upon a matter affecting your destiny and that of your posterity. You canuot have failed to observe the persistent efforts of some of the leaders of the Repub lican party to revive the animosities of the late war, which, happily, are fast giving place to a spirit of concord and, unity n is impossible to predict certainly the effect of these appeals' to passion. We believe that through the representa tion of a few j upright and conscientious Federal officers and agents, an independent and able public press, and of many citizens without regard to party, the true condition of the Southern States and the real seriti mentof the Southern people are being grad ually made known to our fellow citizens of the North.!; We hope for their favorable decision when fullv apprised of all the facts. I The great ends of a good people will be reached when the people of all sec tions forget that we have ever been ene mies, and come together again as in the early days of the Republic, emulating each other only in .devotion to the best! interests of the! whole icountry. With this exalted purpose ' in view there - is nothing inconsistent with the honor and manhood I of ! a brave people to suffer with heroic patience, whatever be their pro vocations and) wrongs. Looking1 through the fearful present to a hopeful future, and repelling unjust epithets and gratuitous in sults with dignified moderation, let every white man in 'every neighborhood in the whole South regard himself AS a commis sioner of peace, maintaining the kindliest relations towards the black man, remem bering that the responsibility for the ex treme poverty! to which we nave been re duced, and the corrupt governments to which: his vote has subjected us, rests not so much upon him as upon the bad men who, with the assurance of Federal support, have by appeals to his worst passions sought to make him our enemy. While we labor by all honest means to convince him of the truth that our' interests and his are identi cal, and that; both must be preserved by good government, and that those . who stir up strife between us are the enemies of both races, let us at the same time see that he is fully protected in his guaranteed rights to vote as he pleases in all elections. Let us continue to deal with him honestly and fairly, and let us continue cordially to in vite to our midst those of any political party who either seek to know the truth or to find homes upon our soil. - I; I We ; dp not exaggerate when we admonish you of the disheartening fact that every street disturbance, every homicide, Of what ever character, by whomsoever committed, by black or white Republicans, or Demo crats, such as are incident to every commu nity upon earth, is perverted into a proof of a spirit of (lawlessness and violence on purpose to accomplish political ends. We: well know the gross injustice of such charges, which have weigTit only, where ig norance of bur true condition prevails., Strenuous efforts are now being made by those who misrepresent you to induce the passage by Congress of the most dangerous measures in order to irritate our people, to drive them to despair, and to provoke them to violent outbreaks in order to furnish an excuse for applying for military interfer ence. I . ! ! : We express the hope that a majority of the present Congress will not be found ready to sanction such legislation. If it be accomplished it would be against the pro test not only of Democrats, but of the moral North, and the statesmanship here of the party in power, and of such Republicans rfs Bryant, Jbivarts,' Charles Francis Adams and others, whose patriotism and sense of justice are known to the entire community. We may; however, mistake. The most extreme ocoression and unconstitutional measures mav be imposed upon you. In such event we would appeal to the wisdom and patience1 of a long suffering people by every hope of the future for continued for bearance and hopeful reliance upon me vir tue and sense of justice of the American people for the ultimate vindication of our the safety of our republican form of gov ernment.

Coroner Hewlett yesterday held an in quest over the body j of a colored man named Jim Boykin, which was recovered yesterday morning near the foot of Chesnut street wharf. It appears that on Wednes day night about lli'clock Boykin who was a fiat hand and who was asleep on his flat at the time rolled off into the water. Several persons in the.vicinity heard cries of help at the time and approached the place but arrived there too late to render any assistance. It is supposfjd that the de ceased was too benufj , lO cold at the time to be able to reajjhimselr. Boykin was about 35 yearaokr and was from the lower part of SampsolT county.
