Ueverdy .lolinson's speech, in the United States Senate, a few days ag.... upon the repeal of the thirteenth section of the act ol .lulv IT, 1802. the object of which repeal was to affect the power of the President to grant n (teneral amnesty. We should he gratified, if we ha'l the space, to publish the grcaki part, or the whole, of this admirable and Matewnan-like effort, worthy, as it is, it t?i Siate in U pVmy dairi Wfur the present era of small politician. His entire argument demonstrate conclnaiTcly that the only power of Poncre-a orer the remission nf i.tfences is to repeal tlie statute creating num. noi ... j. ..... .. offenders. That M vested in the rirc.mvi. 1 alone hy the Constitution. It is within Lis province to pardon the tingle oflendtr, cith. r before or alter Conviction, or to make a general amnesty proclamation. Of the last the courts are bound to take notice, while of tbe first thej may require the certificate if the State Depart ment. The section repealed, therefore, neither qualifies nor limits the power liclonging to the President by the very terms of the Constitu tion. This has been fully decided by the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the matter ol the test-oath. '"This power of the President (say tbe Court) it not tuhjeet to Uyi latict control."

"We must let rumor, or whut we have heard, supply the lack. Some months ago, a requisition was made upon tiov. Worth by Gov. Fen ton, of New York, for the delivery of the body of W. H. Hughes, of Granville. County, on a charge of having purchased goods of sundry parties in the city of New York upon false pretences, and absconded so that the due course-of law, agree ably to the statutes of that Stale, could not be enforced. The officer from that State presenUd to Governor Worth all the papers, duly execu ted, necessary to sustain tbe requisition of Gov. Kenton. Gov. Worth, alter due consider ation; ordered the delivery of Mr. Hughes to the proper officer, and he was taken to New York and legally committed to prison. After a short time, we understand, Mr. Hughes, by some means, obtained bail fur his appearance at court, at a given time, in the city of New York. He mine to his home at Henderson, and did i.ot answer to his bail. Hi crnlly, tiov. Kenton made a second requi sition up,,,, (;,,v Worth tor his delivery. The ea-e was fully investigated, and Gov. Worth is--ued the order for his redelivery, upon which Mr Hughes sued out the writ of htibta eoryut. The cu.-e w as brought before the Supreme Court, and that body tendered its decision on yester day. The order of tbe Court is this : "The Court ordrrs W. n. Hughes to be delivered, by the Marshal of the Court, to IlieSherifl of Gran ville, to the end that he may be surrendered to James P. Bennett, Agent of the Slate of New York, in obedience to the warrant af the Gov. crnor." We hope to I able to lay lie fore our readers a correct history of this w hole matter, and the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case. The couiscofGov. Worth, in all this matter, has shown his great devotion to the laws and to the Const I, ul ion j and while he has exhibited a proper regard for the tights and welfare of our individual citizens, be bas equally exhibited ft purpose t discharge his duty fully to citizens ol other States. Citizens of North Carolina, who obey the laws and prove themselves worthy, may rely upon tbe protection and kind consideration of Gov. Worth, but those who are lawless, and, in 'he recklessness of the times, will attempt to defraud citizens of other States ot their just lights, need not hope for immunity from him. The highest glory of North Carolina, and that which gives us the greatest pride, is, that her people and her merchants are just, reliable men, and will pay their honest debts, if it lie possible. Nothing could sooner destroy that honorable reputation, than for tbe Executive and judicial officers of tlie State t4 lie indiffer ent to the claims of the citizens of other States against our own people, by screening in any way fugitives from justice, or those people of our Stale who seek to commit trespasses upon those of other States, and then fly homeward for pro tci tioti Board of Internal Improvements. We publish, to day, the report of the Board ' 1 '""'" impi.iriiiene in me riaie, mane to i i ......... i i ....... . . th. I. gislature at jts recent session. Its sug ire'lion strike us as discreet and proper. The prosperity ot the State depends much upon the it.in. ney and good management of the Kail Ito.-u!., ivw in existence, and the extension f the system. Their aucccss w ill depend al log. hut upon tneir control. Tlie amount of travel and freight may tie circumscribed at present, but thisnrnv be lira great measure im proved by good management. The-question propounded by the Board to the Legislature, or rather its suggestion In that ' idy, that the State should eease its appoint ment of Directors and place the entire manage ment of the Roads in the hands of 4 he individ ual Stockholders, we consider a good one. The State, in the nature of things, caanot be sup posed to be as intensely interested in the pecu niary interest of the Roads, as private individ uals. She must look to the general good, tbe interests which bear at all points upon her prosperity. Experience also has shown that economy is not a prime consideration, always, with those who manage State affairs. More over, when tbe selection ot Directors mnst be made from so many, the liest men for tbe posi tion are not atray as easily selected by the choke of one man, as by the more searching discrimination nf tbe ballot. Hence, for this reason, and and for the farther reason that political considerations have alwavs controlled in the selection or State managers of public works, to a greater or less extent, we be lieve the interest of the Roads, which certain ly demand all the help they can get in their present condition, requiresjthat their manage ment be placed in the hands of the shrewdest. most energetic and eaoat skilful hands the Com- I rmnies ran select The Spate's interest in the Roads should, in which the State is interested, should be fair )v and fully made to the Board of Internal Im- their affairs, as the interests of the State demand. may regard these ' Railroad interests of the state as ot the highest importance. We believe, nder proper 'management, they can be made sources ot itreat prosperity to. the State and people, and fo the individual Stockholders. This can only lie W.e under the most skillful "nd juelicious management, and the sooner they are s., placed, the better. ' Fpr tba BcntineL Uutwk Xmtnm :-The 3L P. 0, cnt wait much longer.

A man named David Moore and his wile, resi dents ol New Lexington, Perry county, Ohio, were arrested there on Wednesday last, charged with the murder of a little Imund girl, aged nine years, by whipping her in aiuii a brutal milliner as to cause her death in a few hours thereall-r. It jieems the child., an orphan,-wa bound to this Moore by the Infirmary Directors id the county, a few weeks ago, and that since then Moore and his wile have been in the habit of whipping her in an unmerciful manner. t Oh Thin sdaj evening ' last they again beat her most brutally. Some one outside nf the house counted twenty strokes of the stick and were fiually made to desist by some ot tbe neigh hors interfering. On Wednesday morning the child was found dead, lying in bed ; the body was still warm, tfl poet mortem examination revealed the fact that the back of the child was beaten almost to s jelly; there was also a bruise on tbe left temple, just above the eye, and a cut or braise on the right thigh, near the groin, ae if made by a stick ; also inflammation of tbe bowels. Moore and his wife were at once taken into custody, and on Friday they wens having a preliminary examination before Squire Fag ley, which had not reached a conclusion last evening.

The language in which it was expressed was most beautiful, the reasoning sound, and the instruction and coun sel conveyed truly valuable. It was a work evidently prepared with great care, and was an exhibition in itself of that la bor, study and research, tbe importance of which the lecturer endeavored to impress upon bis au. uence as productive ot sell culture.
