The Washington Chronicle of 31st January says: ' i The committee of Southern members appointed after recent consultation to solicit the President to recognize the South in the reorganization of his Cabi net, had a consultation with him a day or two since, in which they made known their desires. They were cordially re ceived and courteously treated. They were assured that when the proper time arrived and circumstances permitted, the President would be glad to conform to their wishes. He implied that the conditions precedent were not yet met. a Laws of Congress. Attention is called to the following Laws, passed at the present session of the Forty-second Congress, com mencing with chapter 1, and to be continued from day to day until they are completed. The following appear in this issue : Chap. 4. An Act to provide for holding adjourned terms of the Supreme Court of Arizona. Chap." 5.

The New York Times of the 29th January contains the following dis patch from Raleigh : 1 Raleigh, IT. C, Jan. 28. In the lower House of the Legislature to-day the res olution relieving ex-Governor Holden's disabilities imposed by the Court of Im peachment was defeated by a vote of 58 to 51, a strict party vote. The bill to legalize ra order is still under discussion iu the Senate ; it will probably pass to morrow.1 Public sentiment is greatly In favor - of the removal of Governor Holden's disabilities. If the question was submitted to the peopla there would be scarcely any opposition to the re moval.. The Governor is prosecuting claims against the : United States Gov ernment in this ' city, and has as many warm friends as ever. He is univer sally beloved by the poorer class of people. - The refusal of the Legislature to remove his disabilities creates great sympathy for him, and the number of his friends is increasing every day. .The Party of Lawlessness. The Daily -Nines of this city has been flying in the face of the Con stitution by demanding a suffrage qualification, and : its arguments haye"rinduced : Mr. "Watson, of Or ange; td introduce an amendment to the "election law providing that no person shall be entitled to regis ter or vote who does , not produce a receipt ibr his poll tax for the year previous. i ' Article six of the Constitution, under the head of 11 suffrage and eligibility to office " says : . Section 1. Every male person born in the United States, and every male per son who has been naturalized, twenty- one years old or upward, who shall have resided in this State twelve months pre ceding the day of election, and thirty days iu tho county in which he offers to vote, shall be deemed an elector. Now let the News and Mr. Watson press the plan of their suffrage qual ification, and with characteristic impudence violate the Constitution of the State, as their party has al ways done whenever it had the power and the opportunity. Soldiers of the War of 1812. In the House of Kepresentatives, on the 30th January, the ' bill came up to restore to the pension rolls the names of certain persons, soldiers of the war; of 1812, stricken from the rolls in 1862 for having taken part Jn or sympathized iwith the rebel Hon.; The proceedings state that Mr. Hawley, of Connecticut, opposed the bill," and said he was content with the concessions made to those who wero in rebellion, but he wanted some mark left on the statute books to show that the nation disapproved of treason. Mr. Cox denied that there was a sol- dier of the warof 1812 who. bad ever raised his hand against the flag, al though their sons might have done so, and their sympathies might have been with their children. He challenged the citing of an instance where one of these old soldiers had raised his arm against the flag.' Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said his position' in opposition to treason and traitors was well known. He stated" that when in command at New Orleans it became necessary to disarm the citi zens, and, among others, there cam a to him some of these old soldiers, whd said with tears in their eyes, My arm is too old. to raise this weapon against you, but' "do not .take from me this sword which I wore under Jackson," and he allowed them to retain their pre cious relic. Whether they were right or wrong they had won the right to be wrong by shedding their blood for their country. Applause. The war was now -r nd being over let us remember what LappT in lg61( but in 1812 and 1814 not the New Orie f J861, but the JNew Orleans or leiz. The bill was passed by a large majority, with much applause. This is one of the noblest acts per formed by the present House of Representatives, and the bill should promptly pass the Senate. The Era Rises to Explain. In the Era of the 29th inst., in crats, and therefore your honorable body witf see that by not passing this bill at the next election we shall loose 40,000. votes to the Dem ocratic party.' . t:; And may it please your honorable body, we most humbly beg leave to call your attention especially to the cases we mean the murders of Stephens of Caswell, and Outlaw of Alamance. It is said by the great British poet that "murder will out," and so we fear in these cases. And therefore you see that if you do not pass this bill that those.good and christian men, and of course Democrats, who murdered Stephens and Outlaw, both of whom were miserable radicals, may yet be indicted for murder in the first degree," and tried before some mis erable radical Judge, and then, if they cannot get a jury, of Democrats will have to be hung. We further Ut6 you to take into consideration the fact that the SSemocratic party is opposed to punishing any- class of men who have gone into any com bination or conspiracy against the reconstruction of the States. .We confess to . you that we have a'deep solicitude for the passage of this bill by the present General As sembly, for the reason that we are aware of the fact that we shall never Republican Papers in N. C. republican Papers "in N. C. THE EVENING POST, Wilmington, N. C. noticing Mr. Badger's reply to Mr. haye ft majority in the Lecture Anuerson, oi oiny, intj luuuwiug sentence appears : " He TMr. Anderson! is a member of all the wealth, intelligence and virtue, of the State, and his county pays into the State Treasury the enormous sum of seventeen dollars.'' Now, it was not intended to do Mr. Anderson injustice, and so, making enquiry at the proper office, it is found that his county pays more than seventeen dollars in the way of State taxes. The amount of " State taxes " paid by Clay in 1872 was $277.09. The General Assem bly sat thirty-two days before the recent recess, and the State Treasu rer paid its members five dollars per day, or $160 to each. Mr. An derson received $202 for mileage, making $362. So it appears that Mr. Anderson drew from the Treas ury before Christmas, eighty -four aouars ana ninety-one cents more than his county paid in State taxes, and the Senator from Clay, and the Judge and Solicitor who hold courts in that county, and Mr. An derson since the recess are all being paid by Mr. Badger's (or some oth er) county.. This accounts for Mr. Anderson's anxiety a bout the taxes paid in Wake. Haying himself long since exhausted the amount paid into the Treasury by his county, and being anxious about his present and future payy it was but natural that he should ask about how much was paid by other counties. Having explained the matter, the Era would suggest that Clay coun ty be divided, and that another county be formed out of half of it. again. But, may it please you Honorable body, we beg leave to say, that while we have the deepest solicitude for the passage of the bill, now before you, granting "Amnesty and Pardon" to one class of criminals, and we think your action on the bill indicates its pass age by both houses of the assembly, although wre are not Ku Klux, but good Democrats, and in full sympa thy with the Ku Klux and Demo crats, we therefore beg that you will pardon us for crimes that we have committed since the war, that is, what the radicals call crimes. Some time since the war one of your humble petitioners being a little angry with one James H. Harrison, of Johnston county, went to his house in the night, and called him out of his house and shot him and killed him. Another of your peti tioners being angry with a man by the name of Strickland went to his house in the night and shot and killed him in his own door. An other of your petitiouers about two years ago in the county of Johnston went to the house of a poor, but worthy widow woman, being an gry with her, called her to the door of her own house, in the nighttime, and shot and killed her.

To the Honorable, the General As sembly of North Carolina : Your humble petitioners beg leave to represent to yourhonorable body that they are laboring under griev ances which they trust and believe you in your wisdom and Christian magnanimity will redress. We be lieve, and have reason to believe, Jl ...til a mat you win not treat amiss our application for a redress of our grievances. We have seen the noble and patriotic action you have taken in behalf of that noble, patri otic and Christian band of men called the Ku Klux. We beg leave to say to you that we most heartily sympathize with the unjustly per secuted men persecuted for right eousness sake and desire to express to you our most cordial and heart felt thanks for the noble stand you have taken in their behalf. We believe, as Senator Dunham be lieves, that they are the best men in the State. Noble Senator! We humbly thank, him for his good opinion of these good men, and we doubt not his opinion is entitled to a j ust consideration , for the reason that he may be a member of the clan himself, and therefore toiows exactly what he Js talking about. We also most especially do thank that wise and noble Senator, Nor wood, for his able and eloquent speech in behalf of. these good and christian men. And may it please your honora ble body, we desire .to call your at tention to the fact that if you do not pass the bill entitled "amnesty and pardon, "40,000 of the best men of the State, we mean 40,000 of the Ku Klux band will be driven from the State, all of whom are Demo- me ivu jviux ivian, we pray your honorable body to grant " Amnesty and Pardon " to us. We therefore suggest to you to include us in this bill, and if you do not think proper to do that, then, in that event, pass a seperate bill granting Amnesty and Pardon to us, and also to all other Democratic criminals in the whole State. We have confidence in you, max you will grant this, our humble request, for the reason that wTe know you are in favor of grant ing Amnesty ana Pardon 77 to the murderers of Stephens and Outlaw, and to men of your party who have committed outrages upon helpless women, a recital of which would be revolting not only to civilization. but to humanity. We would further suggest and pray your honorable body to par don all Democrats and Conserva tives for any and every outrage committed by them upon the d d radicals; that is to say, that if any Dem.ocrat has stolen a hegroe's mule, hog or cow, or taken the same from him vi et armis, he shall be pardoned. And your petitioners will ever pray. 1HE UEPUBLIC-UOUItlER IS One of the live newspapers of the times, and circulates everywhere.
