We are glad to learn that Rev. L. L. Hen dren is now actively canvassing to se cure funds for the complete restoration of this institution of learning. The College, the largest in t he State, was de stroyed'by fire during the latter part of -the war, but owing to the zealous and untiring effarts " of its friends, in the face of great difficulties, it has been in great part re-built. Still some $20,000 is necessary to put the building in a complete state in accordance with the plan ot those who have it in charge, and to this end the gentleman above alluded to is at work. This is a work which should be vigorously pushed forward, as it3 re-establishment will be a matter af fecting in a no small degree the-educa tional interest ot the State. We are glad to "see so efficient a gentleman as Mr. Hendren appointed to this impor tant work, and we know his labors will be rewarded by abundant success. Sunday. All tne cnurcue3 on bun- day last were well attended in the fore noon, but the exceeding inclement weather in the evening prevented a full turnout. The Rtv. Mr. Hendren, the General Agent for the Greensboro Fe male College, occupied the pulpit at the Edcnton Street Methodist church in the absence of Rev. A. W. Mangum, who is still confined to his room by sickness. Rev. Dr. W. M. Wingate, ot Wake Forest College, filled the pulpit of the Baptist Church Sunday morning. The remaining churches were occupied by their respective pastors. Peace and quiet reigned throughout the city the entire day ; not a drunken man was to be seen and not a single police arret made. "' - ..-.mi - . i i. There will be a meeting of Chapter No. 10, R. A. M., on Thursday evening, for work in the Royal Arch Degree. LEGISLATURE OF NORTH CAR- OLI N A. SENATE. Monday, Jan. 27th, 1873. Senate called to order at 11 o'clock, Lieut, Governor Broaden in the chair. Journal of Saturday was read and ap proved. Messrs. Allen, Waring and Slilley asked the privilege of , changing their votes from the negative to the athrma tive, on the appeal from the ruling, of the Chair taken on Saturday. Granted. Mr. Worth, who had not voted, asked leave to record his vote in the affirma tive on the same question. Mr. Gudger moved to reconsider the vote by which the decision of the Chair was sustained. V Mr. Love moved to postpone the con sideration of the vote till Wednesday week. .. - Mr. Cunningham moved to lay this vote on the table, but withdrew it, pro- vided Mr. Love would not make a speech on it. The consideration was postponed. Mr. Respess stated that Mr. King. Senator from Lenoir, was detained in his room on account of sickness. Mr. Worth, the same statement in re gard to Mr. Troy, of Cumberland. Mr. Price, the same in regard to Guilford Christmas, Assistant Door keeper of the Senate. Petitions and Memorials.

By Mr. Seymour, a bill to repeal chap. 169, laws tV 18G9-'70. Referred to Committee on the Judiciary. Rules Suspended. ( On motion ol Mr. Gudger, the, bill creating the office of public guardians, was taken from the calendar and re committed to the Committee. Also, the bill to more definitclv es tablish the State line, was taken from the calendar and recommitted to the Committee on Propositions and Griev ances. On motion of Harris, col., the bill making Neuse river a lawful fence from the Johnston county line to the upper falls of the Neuse, in Wake county, was taken up and passed its several read- in "S, On motion of the same, the bill to incorporate the Charlotte 'Spoke and Handle Factory, 'was taken up and passed its readings. On motion of Sir. Powell, the bill to incorporate the North Carolina Steel Rail Company, was taken up and passed its several reading. Special Order. The hour having arrived for the special order which was the considera tion of the amnesty and pardon bill, Mr. Welch offered an amendment to the amendment of Mr. Seymour, striking out for the crimes of "murder and arson" and the amendment to read for the crimes of rape and burglary. Mr. Welch said in offering this amendment he did it in good laith and hoped it would be adopted. ugh be had never belonged to any secret organization, political, religious or otherwise, yet he knew there was no palliation for the crimes, his amendment proposed to leave in the bill. While he was opposed to all crimes, no matter now, when or under what circumstances committed, yet he was in favor of the amnesty and pardon asked for in the bill and should support it. Mr. Norwood, next addressed the Senate in support of the bill. He had, no expectation that a discussion would occur on a second reading of the bill, and did not expect to say anything himsell on the bill but since the dis cussion had taken the present shape representing the- constituency that he does, the counties ot Orange, Person and Caswell, he felt it a duty incumbent upon himself to submit a few remarks in regard to the enormous crimes said to have been committed. The great ques tion involved in the present question was whethuer 5 nt l'ie P?st 6houJd now do something for the relief of the citizens of certain counties, or whether they showed a disposition to keep them down. The speaker said he had some complaints to make from members on the other side of the House in their representation of the great and enormous crimes said to have been committed, but he would waive that, and let it be admitted that the crimes are great ; let the uumber of Ku Klux so termed, be estimated at 40,000; let the ramifications of this order extend to every county in the State; he would go further and say, let the concession be made that all the crimes committed were by this order ; even then he was ready to meet it and discuss the question of amnesty and pardon upon its merits. The ques tion, as it i3for the State to offer pardon and amnesty and if so, what are the re quisites. lurst: uan tne sover eigns of a State do it? I it not in the power, of the State to do so without conflicting with the general Government. There is no dan ger of a cooflict.The general Government sustained by the three great pillars of tne 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, could overtop all that we could do, and afforded a protection to its citizens' that no power could pievaii against it, and it could not be weakened by any acts of pardon or amnesty that we could pasi. The next requisite was the man ner and circumstances under- which these acts of crime were committed, and also the numbers engaged in the com mission ot these crimes. 40,000 is the number estimated. Now he would ask if this number Of itself was not suffi- cient for an act of mercy and pardon. j Under what circumstance were the crimes committed ? It is a most difficult task, and one hard to accomplish, to say, yet he would attempt it. The Speaker, after stating that the organizations re,- sul ted from the effects of the war in opposed to the billThe blood of Out which we were engaged, goes on at co- law and Stevens risexfrom the ground siderable length to show that the wsr and appealed to hi3 pitty to go against was inevitable; that neither the Norm it. l-i ,1 - . "1.1. A t l!.! or ooutn are responsioie ior it, out from a glowing delect in the Constitu- tion recognizing both free and slave labor. ; Afterthe war, when those that were engaged in it returned to fheir homes and firefeides, they found quite a changed condition of affairs and circumstances. He would speak of Orange county, a county that he knew more of. In that county, soon after the war, crimes be- came general, and to such an alarming extent that two men by the name of Watson were outlawed by the State Government. Other crimes were Tola- mitted by parties who "layed" it on the Watsons. , bmoke houses robbed, sheep, hogs and cattle stolen; horses taken and carried away, and it was impossible for the civil law to reach them. Even if they were arrested the 'ail '.of the county could not hold chem. The sympathy on the outside was always with those incarcerated, and evil-doers got out and went unwhipt of justice, Upon the heels of this,emmissaries filled thecounty and established orders, by what name' he knew not, but they taught the blacks to rise up and massacre the whites and many other acts of lawlessnees in the vocabulary of crime. He wouldn't saythese order were, or had any connection with the Union League, but he knew that such orders existed, tjhe leaders oi wmcn j tausrht the members hatred and animosity to the white race. He also knew that while these disorders were going on all over the county, that armed negro sentinels were placed on the streets of Hillsboro, persons were threatened with their . lives, and the greatest fear and alarm pervaded the whole community. It wa3 at this time when a returned Confederate soldier, suggested the idea of what was after- wards acted upon, viz : the organization in that town of 200 minute men, organ ized expressly for mutual protection and the protection of property. This was the commencement of organizations in Orange county, and thus it extended r-i till it became a powerful and effective organization. Finally the organization took the aggressive and did commit offenses through malice. The older in his county was numerous and embraced I .i ' 1 - . . . 1 tne very oesr. men in me county. The Speaker then spoke of Caswell, paying a high tribute to the character, and lust reputation ot this old county, rpfprrinor tn her . v.. v.. - a Browns and Kerrs, and. the proud posi tions they had held in this assembly Also totthe opinion expressed by Judges ot the Superior Courts, who had ransacted business in the county, that it was the most pcacable and well ordered county in the State. He said when reconstruction came then it was that an attempt was ruaue to rind this proud old county down to the dust. The first Senator they sent here, to fill the position of Bedford Brown, was a known thief, who had been convicted as sucn Dy tue laws ot his country. Ihi3 same man, it was known, advised colored men to burn the barns of white men, and was lore- most in all the conflicts between the whites and blacks. This man was mur- dered it is true, but he had the opinion of both whites and blacks that his fate was merited. The Speaker again referred to the disorders in his own county Orange, the murder oi the negro man Jeff, who burned the barns of three of the best citizens in Orangecounty, and also the gro msn that threatened and at tempted the foul crime of rape on the person ot a highly respectable young lady of that county, the daughter of a lone widow, &c. These murders were committed by persons from adjoining counties, but they were committed and "the parties well deserved the fate they met. He said as far as he could learn and as far as he knew, that all organizations had been raised under similar circumstances a those in Orange, and now we are coldly told here by members of the opposition that such crimes as I have stated is a just causi for punishment, &c. The Speaker after referring to the Kirk war, the arrest of Col. Bingham, and his immeidiate release or pardon by Gov. Holden, and stating- that Gov. Holden before the Kirk war had ex pressed his desire to proclaim the same pardon, now asked for in this billhe closed with an earnest appeal for the immeidiate passage of the bill. . Mr. Grundy offered a substitute tor the preamble of the bill, which was in substance that as members of the various organizations, of which mem bers of the Democratic party belonged to, had committed crimes, &c, &c, and proceeded at some length to advocate his substitute. He said that the original purpose of the Ku. Klux Klan was to deieat the reconstruction actsof Congress and to prevent a faithful execution of the laws of the United States. He was sorry that such organizations were counte nanced by leading men of the Democra tic party, who stood back in the dark and hearkened en the young and mis guided meu who performed the damna ble deeds of crime. Their leaders were afraid to come out and show themselves, but satisfied to urge others on, that they might not have the responsibility to shoulder, It was not his desiie to reek vengeance on the perpetrators of these crime?; that belonged to the Almighty. He would be glud to have the powir to bring out kautrs that they may be punished instead ot the misguided men who obeyed their in structions. ' . - Nile offered the substitute in good faithv . (Question, by Mr. Worth. Will you snnport the bill if your substithte is adopted Mr. G No Sir !) He offered this substitute in order that the leaders in th is measure might goon record. Why not ask the same par don lor Masons, Odd Fellows and other Societies ;as they didxfor the K. K. Klan ? He was surprisedxto hear the Senator from Orange say that both white and - black said Stevens had received a just fate surprised that high toned honorable gentlemen should palliate the crirnes of these midnight marauders and assassins. He was op- The infant children, and widows of 1.1 l . tnese men appeaica to me party ; also men who had been whipped for opin ionsake, &c. &c. He was fo( pardon and amnesty, and would say here, that if the murderers of Stevens aud Outlaw were ferretted out, he would sign, his name asking for executive clemency. The Speaker concluded with a strong appeal to the Republican members to stand ffrm in the opposition to the bill, &c. : Mr. Worth desired to submit a few remarks in regard to the bill. He was in favor of its immediate passage. The other side of the House seems to haye an abundance of mercy in their pre- ambles, but blood and thunder in their speeches. The Senator from Beaufort in his remarks yesterday had occasion to say that the change made in the present General Assembly from a Re publican majority to a Democratic majority was caused by the Ku Klux Klan. Just here he was reminded of a serious religious anecdote. A certain preacher had charge of a church in a certain county, had tried in vain to pre vail on the son's of a pious old brother of his church to turn trom their wicked ivays. The boys, several in number, were notoriously wicked, and he never failed to call on them when he came on his round to the church. Going one day to the abode of the young men, he found one on his knees praying devoutly and called upon the minister to pray for him. The minister asked a brother of the voung man so deeply . affected why the sudden change in his Brother ? The Brother replied that a rattlesnake had bit him. The preacher knelt down and commenced his prayer with a sup plication, for v "more rattle-snakes." Now. he would say if the Ku Klux gave us the majority and defeated the Republican party in 1870, he would, like the old peacher pray for . more Ku Klux. He was unwilling to lose so much time considering this bill, it was evident that the opposition intended to make a party mrasure of it, then let us staud together and make it a parly measure too. He was ready then and thereto vote for the bill. Mr. Dunham followed in favor of the bill. He was surprised to see that a meas- ure so important to the general interests t t . 1 .1.1 t -1 ot the who eotatesnouia De maae siricts W partisan, and was moreover surprised at some of the sentiments of members of the opposition. 1 he senator Irom punishing tne leauers, anu paraon ing the young and misguided, and whenever we give him an opportunity to vote upon a bill granting amnesty to all, he refuses. He forgets that it is better that ninety anu nine guilty men should go .unpunished than that one innocent person should suffer.- The ob- iection ol the KepuDiicau' members as thev sav. is a portion of the names men- tioned in the bU are loyal, and the others disloyal. He undertook to say that there is not in a line in the pro posed bill that imputes crime to any organization. It does not say crimes uaVe been committed by members of either organization. Jt simply assumes UuC possibility that crimes were commit ted and proceeds to give pardon. He advocated the bill not because of its benefit to one party or the other," but for the good of the whole people. 40,- 000 men were said to be members of this organization- not old, decrepid men, but. active, able bodied young men, the very bone and sinew of our State. They ask whether we shall prosecute them to the bitter end, put them to death, incarcerate them in A ' . a . prison, or grant them pardon? He would ask Senators if we were in a con dition to drive from our borders 40,000 men. The bill ha.3 a wider scope than this, if these prosecutions are to con- ' ... n 1 A AAA I f tinue it will embrace 240,000 instead of 40 000 : the wives, children, fathers mothers, brothers and sisters of the 40.000 will all feel .the effects of the rmnishment as well as those immediate- lv interested. He would ask in the name of God and mercy to grant this boon of amnesty to the women and children ol North Carolina, for they were certainly more interested than any one else. Two years have now passed since peace and tranquility has been restored The Republican party hold indisputed sway in the State Government. They assert that law and order is restored, and he was clad to '- know and believe it was. Then, why seek this revenge upon the mis guided youths of our State ? Wh y do they wish to see the young men of our State crossing beyond the Doraers by every train that leaves the State, fleeing for safety from their UDjust accusers They admit that they are political of fenses and yet desire to wage this war, he might say of extermination, merely to get at the leaders as they say, behind the throne, Mr. Dunham proceeded briefly to state the causes that led to these organ izations, dwelling particularly on the change in the Judicial system of the State, &c, and in conclusion asked, af ter describing the scenes of Cavalry, if Christ could could say " Father forgive them, they . know not what they do, why should the Republican party be so persistent in their piosecution of the;c blind and jnisruided : young men, as tliey term them Oa the vote oh Mr. Welch's umcad- ment, and the passage;;of the bill on its second reading, the yeas and nay were called aud both passed by a fctnet patty vote. Alter passing its second leauirjg, oa motion the further-consideration ol tae bill was postponed until ttwnorro w at 11 o clock. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. At 10 A. M. the.

The bill pro vides for the payment ot warrants here tofore issued for work done on said road, and provides for an agent of con struction in each county through which the road passes to re-sell and re-let to contractors such portions upon which no work has been done.J Mr. Waugh offered an amendment extending the road from bparta, Alle- ghany county, to Winston, Forsy the county, and appropriating $500 to be - expended on the Blue Ridge portion. Mr. Anderson opposed the bill, lie would ever oppose any legislation look- ins towards a recognition of the unholy measures of that most iniquitous Legis lature of 18G3 and '69. Mr. Anderson continued for some length in opposition to the bill Messrs.. Badger and Trivett favored the bill. Mr. Bryan, of Alleghany, spoke in favor of the bill. Hettlwelt upon the necessity of giving this rich and pro ductive section an outlet to the markets of the world. He urged it not only as a benefit to Western North Carolina but to the whole of the State, &c. Mf. Jones, of Caldwed, took the floor in advocacy of the bill.
