llag of the fifty-fourth Massachusetts

With the flag came a letter. After
consulting Mr. Loring, President of
the Senate, and Mr. Sandford, Presi
dent of the House, as to the prece
dents, the Governor had notified the
General Assembly of the arrival of
flag, supposing that order would at
once be taken for. its formal re
ception iu joint convention. The
House committee, however, had ta
ken a different view of the proprieties,
and reported a resolution formally ac
ceptitig the flag, and directing the
Governor to have it placed in Doric
Hall. Mr. Pierce, brother of the
Congressman, had moved to amend
by extending the thanks of Massa
cnusetts to Mr. Ripley, and quite an
'excited debate had sprung up.' A
Mr. Codman had assured the House
that the letter was replete with such
patriotic feeling that members would
be ashamed to vote against the
amendment after once hearing it
Mead. Bitter' speeches had been
iade on the other side. Mr.
Pierce had given notice of his purpose
to move a recommittal of the report in
rrder to procure the letter from tbe
Governor. In order to prevent this
a member had moved the previous

Radical meeting. I -
The Republican Imass meeting at the
Court House last night, some allusion to
which was made in- our last, ; was presided
over by Capt J. M. Wise, the cigar man,
with Ellis Patrick as: Secretary. The first
speaker wasW. H. Moore, one" of the re
cent liepresentatives of the party in tne
Legislature, who talked for about one hour
and a quarter in explanation of his acts in.
the Legislature. Some one asked him about
his position on the usury bill, to .which he
replied that two petitions went up from the
county; one in favor pf and the other against
the bill, and as he could not vote to carry
out the wishes of both, he concluded it
would be as well not to vote at all. He
complimented the Legislature as a body of
public servants who! did their duty, &c.
. W. P. Canaday offered a resolution look
ing to organization, &c.
F. W. Foster made a humorous speech,
introducing very little matter of a political
character. I
G. L. Mabson was the next speaker, and
was followed by J. H. Smythe, who is said
to have made a very' sensible speech, urging
the importance of chosing men of intelli
gence and j fidelity jto represent the party.
He alluded to the course of the Democratic-
Conservative party in this respect, taking oc
casion to pey a high compliment to one of
bur most distinguished citizens.who, he said,
was the choice of that party in the State as
one of the representatives of the county in
the approaching Constitutional Convention,
on account of his possessing the qualities
referred to in such a remarkable degree. '
Smyth's remarks palled. Brewington, an
other of the late Republican Represents
tives in the Legislature, to his feet, who
- talked a good portion of the audience out
the remnant adjourning with three cheer
for W. H. Moore.

city Affairs--A Friendly suit.'
After a cons ultation between the Attorney
for the presen ; contestants for the manage
ment of city affairs and the new Board of
Aldermen reo mtly elected, which took place
yesterday, we learn that a friendly suit for
a settlement o t the matter was finally agreed
upon, the A
torneys for the new .Board
agreeing to relinquish all the pains and pen
alties which lihe law imposes againswany
one holding over contrary to law, and that
all the emoluments and perquisites of the
Mayor's office! shall be allowed the present
incumbent until the suit is decided. . It was
also agreed, by the Attorneys for the
present incumbents, for the sake of
a peaceful sejtlement.not to take advantage
of the legal opinions to the effect that their
ierms oi omce do not expire until August.
In other words, the case is to go .up on its
constitutional merits. It is understood that
the suit will lie a strictly friendly one in
every particular, and that no counter suit
will be attempted by either party.

Near Mt. Mourne, Iredell county,
a negro named Byers was killed in a peculiar
manner, which is described by the Char

seated j on kn ox. Tbe ox had a chain
around! his horns,- one end of which was
being carried by Byers in his hand. The
negro got tired carrying the chain in his
hand, and put the end of it around his own
neck. The ox took fright, at something,
threw the negro off, and dragged him about
a hundred yards over a very rocky place.
Both were found sometime afterwards, the
ox standing still and the negro perfectly
dead, with the chain still around, his neck.
