CONGRKSSION A L M ATTKKS
AVc have heretofore spoken of
the pvat debate in Congress ngai:tt
the use of troops at the olls, and
we will now explain tho points of
the discussion in which Congress is
id present en-racd. which may he
divided into two heads.
1. Many years ngo Congress
passed a law forbidding any person
holding a Federal oliiee or hittinir
on the Jury in a Federal Court,
who could not take the iron clad
"or test oath," that it, swear that he
bad never in miv manner aided or
sympathized with the rebellion. Of
course this disfranchised from oliice
tho large ma jority of our people.
but after the lapse of a tew years.
when tho passions excited ly the
war had begun to subside, this law
as to holding otlice was repealed,
but not us to Federal Jurors. So
that it is now a good ground of
challenge or objection in any Fed
eral Court to a Juror who cannot
take the test oath. 1ms right ot
ehallenm-i is seldom insisted noon,
jitnl in our State Federal Juror
have been summoned without re-
gard to their not being .able to
take tho oath. Hut still the ob-J
ieetioti can be made at any time.
and but a few days ago in the trial
of sonic eases in Charleston this
right of challenge was used by the
(lovernment, and used so as to oh-
tain a Jury packed to convict,
"Well, the democrats think that this
law bhould be repealed, that the
iron-clad oath should not be re
ijuircu of a man to enable him to
Kerve as a Juror, any more than to
hold an otlice, and the republicans
arc opposing this repeal, it does
eeem to us that any fair-minded
man, without regard to polities,
must pay that, the democrats are
right in demanding a repeal of this
odious and un just law. See how it
Works. A man may hold an oilier,
it matters trnt In w elevated, but can
not serve as a Juror tit' objection is
made) without tnking the iron clad
oath. To illu.-trate by an iu.-tance :
Judge 1 ick can, and does, preside
as the Federal Judge of our Dis
trict, no te.-t oath bring required of
him, and yet he signed the Ordin
ance of Secession that carried Xorth
Carolina into the war! Hut any
one of our good old citizens who
rave his son a horse when he went
into the iirmv. can be refused a seat
upon the Jury in the Court pre.-id
ed over by this Judge ! Is this
consistent or right i Assuredly not.
Any citizen (pialitied to sit on a
jury in our .-Mate v ouns wi-uni or
allowed to serve on a Jury in the
United States Courts, and we hope
that the democrat will succeed in
having this unjust discrimination
repealed.
"2. The other law which the detn-
ocrata wish repealed is in regard to
Supervisors and United States
Marshals tit tdeetions. i
Tl.e republican parly when it '
r 1 ' .
controlled the legislation of the,
Government, and in order to per-: aud maintain expi n.sive feticus to al
lietuate their siipremacv, paB.-ed a low other peoiilu to raise siock ou the
1 . . . '. ' . . t .. ill. fenced polliou of thur lands. Ait
law authorizing the appointment ol tilia is ni..;vtinat;v lo ,JO ,., is for
Federal Supervisors and Deputy farmers to asscit th. ir rights, pull

The powers conferred on these olh-
cers are repugnant to nil our ideas of
civil liberty and the freedom of elec -
, , .
t.ons. Ihc law authorizes the
jKjintinent of au unlimited number
of Deputy Marshals, who are to In
paid a day, who have the power
without any warrant, or other law
ful process, to arrest at their caprice
or pleasure "either at the place of

recorder, tho Ssato or,,' iu of our
' D-mtist friends:
"Mu. Enrrois: As our popple nrc
much exercised just now upon the
fence law, I will sho.v you my opin
ion. I believe that fence laws are
unc institutional. I deny the light
of a Icrishe uro to s iv that any one
shall fence to protect
his crops from
other 'i-Hi't-s sleek.
'I'l... s;,.,...
Conrl l)f theVnit-d'.Stales hav
j ways held that fence laws are un-
1 constitutional, llie leuco taw in
! North Carolina was good in its da v.
but the day of its utility has gone
by. When funis were few and small
and woods wire lare it paid the
farmer to fence his cornpaU-h nn.l
raise hogs and cattle oil seeds and
acorns, but imw the thing is n-vi rsed
in this section, fields are lirue mi l
Moods iiiv small and the fence law
a burden upon the farmers. The
legislature ought, to r peal l lit f. niv
law in toto. The idt a of voting upon
the fence question is to me prfel
ly absurd. What ri-jlit luxe I to
vote that my neighbor shall m ike a
fence, about his c. titivated fields?
None whatever. Tien if au individ
