THE ERA. Official Orran of the United States. Official Organ of the City TV. M..BROWX, Manager. RALEIGH, 2. C.x THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 187.',. The editorial rooms, together with all the fixtures connected yith the AVer, have been removed to the sec ond story of the building occupied by the X. C. Book Store, corner of Fayetteville and Morgan Greets. Our friends are cordially invited to give us a call. Democracy and Insurrection seem to go hand In hand. We must thoroughly defeat the first in order to prevent a repetition of thesecond. The tame party that inaugurated war in 1SG1 would not hesitato to again deluge the country in blood unless promptly checked. We are pleased to state that Messrs. Mabson and Tucker made .able and effective remarks against the resolutions in regard to Louisi ana In the Legislature on Friday last. These gentlemen are entitled to the thanks of their constituents for the manner in which they have sustained the government in its ef fort to restore law and order. Congress cannot much longer re main inactive on the Ixuisiana question. It must act, and confront ed as it is by oath-bound leagues, who have heeded not the Lxecu tlve's warning voice to disband, it should press forward laws sufficient Our Coast Defences. The New York II(raldt true to the character it has long sustained as a sensation journal, endeavors to stir up popular excitement and ex cite prejudice against General Grant by the bnso insinuation, that in making his late recommendations to Congress concerning our coa3t de fences the President is actuated by personal considerations, and goes so far as to plainly hint at a covert de sire on the part of our Chief Execu tive to hvkiI himself of the oppor tunity afforded by an increase of our national armament to nlunce the country into a foreign war during the closing years of his term, and in the unsettled condition of affairs which would naturally follow, to demand a new lease of power. These insinuations against the President are, in our opinion, a part of the general programme, gotten up by the White League Democracy of the country, to manufacture popular feeling against the Administration and, to judge from the uniform at tacks made by the Herald on most of the important measures suggested r5,.r, ho r,f cof o,i r. banking-associations be and is here- ... r.v..v ..v, J1W1JJ by repealed, and each existing bank me past weii-Known readiness of ing association may increase its cir- the proprietors of that paper to serve eulating notes in accordance with any party, or to advocate any cause, the existing law without respect to f,,r ,,,ni,r ,c!,i; if. aiu aggregate limit, ana new bank "V ,ng associations may be organized cm. iuuisc ui uimuu is uoi pureueu m accordance with the existing law without ample reward.

The following is the full text of the finance bill passed by the United States Congress : lie it enacted, &c: That the Secre tary of the Treasury is hereby au thorized and required as rapidly as practicable to cause to be coined at the mints of the United States, sil ver coins of denominations of ten, twenty-five and fifty cents of stan dard value, and to issue them in re demption of an equal number and amount of fractional currency of similar; denominations, or. at his discretion, he may issue such silver coins through the mints, sub-treasuries, public depositaries, and post- offices of the United .States, and upon such Issue he Is hereby author ized and -required to redeem an equal amount of such fractional cur rency until the whole amount of such fractional currency outstanding shall bo redeemed.

Remember that the hydra-headed scorpion of seces sion, which brought untold miseries upon us In 1SG1, still lurks in the grass, seeking whom he may devour In 1875. The government stands on the side of justice and humanity. White Leagues and their apologists are actuated by vengeance and hatred to the Republic. Let no good citizen be caught in the trap. We take it, therefore, that the great body of tho people of the United States will treat with thesamemea sure of contempt these ungrateful thrusts at General Grant, as similar 1879, the Secretary of the Treasury ceived when directed at the wleern in coin the United the Treasury to redeem the legal tender United States notes in excess only of three hundred million dol lars, to the amount of eighty per centum of the sum of national bank notes so issued to any such banking association, as aforesaid, and to con tinue such redemption as such cir culating notes are issued until there shall be outstanding the .sum nf three hundred million dollars of such legal tender United States notes, and no more. And on and alter the first day of January, A. D. Since tho year 1SGG, nearly three thousand five hundred persons, a great majority of whom were white and colored Republicans, have been killed and wounded in the State of Louisiana, mostly on account of their iolitlcal notions. A bold at tempt is made to place men in the legislature of the State, who were clearly known not to be entitled to their seat. The government inter poses to prevent such outrages and is met with the cry of tyranny and violation of States' rights. The Democratic idea of States Rights includes the right to murder de fenceless citizens. The President declares his intention to protect the people in all their rights of person and property. Let all true Republi cans rally to his support. one's rece illustrious Washington over eighty i years ago. Rut to revert to the message over which the Herald raises Its warning clamor. Since the close of the re bellion the country has been mostly engaged in the discussion of affairs incident to remodeling the disor ganized commonwealths of the na tion, and in repairing, as far as pos sible, the vast amount of damage incurred. Very little attention has beeii paid to military matters other than was necessary to regulate our internal affairs. In the meantime, our national military armament has been seriously neglected, until at present, although we are reckoned States legal tender notes then out standing on their presentation for redemption at the office of the As sistant Treasurer in the city of New York, in sums not less than fiftv dollars. And to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and provide for the redemption in this act author ized and required, he is authorized to use any surplus revenues, from time to time, in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, and to is sue, sell, and dispose or, at not less than par in coin, either of the de scriptions of bonds of the United States described in the act of Con gress approved July 14, 1870, en titled "An act to authorize the re funding of the national debt," with like qualities, principles, and ex emptions to the extent necessary to carry this act into effect, and to use The great hue and cry about States' rights now set up by Demo crats, reminds one forcibly of the olden times. Tho howl of 1SG0 was succeeded by rebellion. The howl of 1S73, In Louisiana, had It not re ceived a prompt check at the hands of the General Government, would doubtless have caused scenes of bloodshed and great destruction of property. Buchanan, the apologist of treason and slavery, allowed the enemies of :the country to precipi tate civil war. Grant, the defender of the nation and the friend of the people, Is determined that murder and lawlessness, of whatever de- j scrlptlon, shall be promptly sup pressed. Buchanan was a Democrat, and carried out the desires of his party. Grant is a Republican, and will see to it that loyalty and good government shall prevail. as among the first powers of the the proceeds thereof for the purposes eartn. our means or even rierensivo aioreaiu. warfare are inferior to those of any second rate power of Europe. Com plications arising from a non-com pliance with just demands may, at The following notice of some of any time, cause a resort to arms ne- the material of which the late New And all provisions of law incon sistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. After announcing the intention of the White League of Louisiana to carry the late election either by fair or foul means, the Franklin En terprise, a paper published in Saint Mary's Parish, in that State, says : " Come what may, upon the radi cal party mast rest the whole re sponsibility of this conflict and as sure as there is a just God in heaven, their unnatural, cold-blooded, and revengeful measures of reconstruc tion in Louisiana trill meet xcith a terrible retribution." Here is a direct threat to visit xcun terrible retribution those who favored the reconstruction measures in Louisiana, and yet, when the President of the United States ex- ercises ms constitutional right of . guaranteeing to that State a Repub lican form of government by the prompt suppression of anarchy and lawlessness, Democrats raisea whin ing cry and endeavor to entrench themselves behind the old exploded dogma of States' rights. Think of these things, Republicans, and stand firmly now as you did in former days of Democratic treachery and misrule. cessary with Spain, and yet, the President says that disaster would overtake us in any conflict in our present condition, and the vast coast from Maine to Mexico would be at tho mercy of a foreign foe. The President, with the same foresight that characterized his military movements during the rebellion. sees danger in our present Inactive state and warns his countrymen of it. For this advice, which should entitle him to the gratitude of his fellow-citizens, he is assailed with all tho ribald terms tho White Leagues of the South and such Northern allies as the New York Herald can devise. To use the lan guage of a distinguished writer on he situation, "He on whose life once rested the fate of freedom be- bre Richmond, whose arm saved the nation in the midst of a thou- sand foes, who is the defender of the rights of the workingman of every land, is now assailed once more by the terrible minions of Slavery at home and abroad, and by their de luded followers at the North and South." On our part, we recognize in this last recommendation of the Presi dent an earnest effort to impress upon the representatives of the peo ple the necessity of upholding the dignity of our great republic among foreign nations, as in his action in .v.. .l 4 T - ivjinru iu xjuuisiana we discover an unflinching purpose to put a stop to lawlessness and the shameless acts of cruelty and oppression which are heaping up disgrace upon por tions of our own land.

York meeting was composed is taken from a very able letter in Harper's Weekly: It is instructive to review the histories of many of the men who gathered at the recent meeting in New York to assail the fame and threaten the ruin of the conaueror of Richmond. Many of them were the same violent partisans who ten years ago were laboring to starve the national armies in the field and snatch tho Confederacy from the grasp of Grant and Sheridan. There were noted reactionary pol iticians to whom slavery was nnep dear, and who had now come to gether to avenge its fall ; there were tho chiefs of the ultramon tane faction in New York ; there were noted rebels who were once fighting against the armies of the republic; there was the secretary in i jumt-jsksox ua v is, now pension ed by its Mayor upon thediminished revenues of our city ; there possibly Legislative Summary.
