IIOH. Lllil Ham:
Dear Sir . Your favor of the 24th hurt., ask
ing my opinion to whether I concur with you
In your nrticlc in the hist numW of the OU
North StiUe, entitled "The XIV Arucvhiient
The Ix-gislalsre," wa received lo-d;iy. 1 en
tirely voiuur villi you ill llio conclusion at
which you nave arrived, that any roa Itanncd
by the Mtli article of the amendment to the
Constitution is ineligible to a scat in tho Legi
laUire. Thv itrval object of thin amendment was
to i 1 rent certain classes of our citizen who
had heretofore occupied po-ltiun of honor and
profit, either under the State or Federal (lov
eminent, n hod taien mi oath tu tujijnrt the Cult,
dilution of the United Slate, no J afterward en
gaged in rebellion against the government of the
I'nitul State-, from ag.iin 1 iny voted with vf
fice, until Coi-gres had rviuovcd their disabili-lit.
Now to My that a eron heretofore banned in
not eligible to the office of a i n .!,!., f4 t el
igible tu a $eat in the. Ltyittaturt, is ascribing to
the framer of this arliele an utter stupidity,
which no one would willingly do.
Suae, a eonatruetion will violate the Intent
and apirit of the act. I therefore agree with you
that a member of the Legislature w an officer
within the meaning of the Nth article.

that the origin of the story hnsno U-lter founda

in..'., of Mr. Stephens, who has made binuklf
exceedingly odious to the people of Caswell, ;d
which Im- doubtk'-s been increased by the rcxt ut
instances of burning and crime in that county,
llis Hist course has identified him, no doubt,
with the outrages of the members of the I'nion
League, nud hence it is not to bo wondered at
that he should In- die objax't of much hatred and
ill-feeling. We allude to these thinirsas slnmlv
probable and because tbe rumored story, as pub
lished by the Standard is not of such m charac
ter as to conininiid our belief.

I'ursuant to a call of the Kxecutive (lomniittee
of Kranklin Towusliip, a meeting of the voters
was held in Franklin Academv, on tiie'ilst inst.
Whvu on motion of W. K. rrwhry, 1 .-., the
niivting was organised by apjsiintingH. H.Yrott,
t'lialrriiaii, and mi motion ol Wm. (I. McX'nly,
U'm. M. Kioeaid, r'j., was appointetl to art as
Sweretary. The t'hairm ni then called on Wm.
!(. I raley to explain the object of tha meeting,
which he did in a few brief remarks. He mged
uo'i the iHopIo the iinpiwi one of tho roiuinn
election, the propriely of selecting able and sui
table standard bearers, and their duty to act in
harmony with the ih li-unlions from oilier Town
h's, and 10 support the nnmiiiMs of the nt
proachiug Convention. He said that beconsid
ervd theCociity Commiioneni to be the most
impnr.ant eimnty ofheia a'hieh Mople were call
ed upon to elect. Tint under the old county
court system, when the it took Ismds from
county oflieerw which proved to he insufficient,
the court was liable for the wnalty of the bonds,
ami mi, under the new system, the county com
missioners would be held lial le for insufficient
bonds taken by them. Const iptently it behoov
ed the 1 ople to select turn forthat Hiton who
were not unly prudent and judu-ious in the man
Xeuieut of p' b'ic all .irs, but that they should
aUo be rr ,ilr men. He said thnt we had
plculy ofgisHl and true men to till the positioits,
I .ill. tn the iA-ciidaturc. as well as the various
county offii-ers, but whilst there might Ih indi
vidual or Township preferences he did not think
it In t 10 irainniel the delegates with instructions
to vole for any particular individuals, but to h 1
them go to the convention free to act in harmo
ny with other Townships.
The meeting was uildresaed also, by Mr. John

THE STATE I'KESS.
We see that several of our State exchanges
are expressing their djsap probation of, and re
gret at, the course and tune of the political press
ut the capitol of thCStute. Within the last six
months wc have received a number of letters
from distinguished gentlemen in different parts
of the State, of both the old political parties, ex
pressing siinilaf dissatisfaction and disgust and
urging us to remove our paper to Kaleigh. Of
theee letters we give the following extract as a
specimen which we publish- in the hope that
iliifj to'liom it refers may profit by the sug
gcsliuiig which it contains, as nearly every edj
lor in tbp. Mtstc. - . ..'ir ru.AA, ...tKt , . .i'.

"Raleigh. May 7th, 1870.
My J)tar Sir : 1 merely write to say that 1
like the geiteraljone of your mr very much ;
and that I oflcnwish you would move' with it
to Kaleigh. The editors of the two papers here
seem to imagine that they and their fortunes and
mpntati mi- are all that is world the attention of
an adnnnng world. They have no word lor
internal improvements for immigration, for tar-
ills, taxes or currency ; but countless columns of
villihcation of each other. W hat a contrast do
these Kaleigh papers make with those pf-Rich-loond
or Norfolk ? In the latter you find two
thirds of the space given to the above named
subjects which are so much neglected In re.
There they Lave a sufficient amount of political
venom, but they have the good sense and the
capacity to give it utterance in language at once
fhaste and terse, if compared with our slang
whangers. It is doubtless to this constant dis
cussion in the columns of the Virginia papers,
of internal improvement and immigration, that
the pcoplcof that State are indebted for the rapid
sale of their lands to Northern and European
buyers, as well as for tne vigor with which Itail
roads'are being built. If the editors in this
State could be induced to take a similar course
there can be no doubt that similar results would
follow."

well, might justify the most rigid surtillance o
his conduct and his arrest on the first sustiiciot'
but we cannot justify or excuse, so violent and
summary outrage against the laws of the land,
as in this instance is said to have been commit
ted. It is notorious the world knows it thnt Rad
icals, member of the Union Leagues, in this
State, may commit the worst acts and the vil
ciinics-kium.to.oiir lass, with impunity and
without fear of plmishmc nt, if corrupt Cours
and corrupt Kxecntive can screen them. But
wo know, even under such circumstances no ex
cuse, no justification, for lynch law or mob law,
in any ease. In one euse out. of a ttuuiaaml, it
may have done some good, but the evils of law-nes-i
e s never terminate they grow from bad
to worse, till the distinctions of virtue and vice
become obliterated and anarchy, confusion and
ruin ensue.
The & n'inrl and the Democrats and Conser
vative of this State, in all that thev have s .id
or done, most ttnhcsifatinghr ronrfemn all in
stance of lawlessness and c.'ime. We are or-
DOBcd to I'nion Lcaguism, Ku Kluxism and ev
ery other ism, that does not respect and obey
the laws of the lat:d,-and we shall not fail to de
nounce cvtrv instance of bunrlarv. stenlinv.
house burning, rape, or murder that may occtl
whether done by white or black; Union Leag
uers or Ku Klux or what not. The Conserva
tive legislative Address has taken strong and
proper ground upon this subjoct, and upon that
platform we stand.
Crime must he stopped in North Carolina at
all hasards. Every thief, burglar, house burner,
or ravisher or murderer should be visitel with
the full punishment of the law. lint these pun
ishments must be administered by the Courts
and lint bv the mob or the lawless men who
chooses to take the taw in his own hands.
"THE WAR NOT OVER"
fJcn.dtors Ferry of Connecticut and Morton of
Indiana, have had a tilt, and the latter gentle
man relieved himself of a great quantity of loy
al bile. He has taken it upon himself to be the
leader and regulator of his party, and assumes
t) exercise the pontifical power of excommuni
cation. Mr. Ferry has the courage, justice and
magnanimity lo lift his voice in favor of the re
moval of disabilities, anil he is met by Mr. Mor
ton with the declaration, "I abhor the spirit of
"his argument. It is the argument that begot
"the rebellion ; it is the argument tliat justifies
"it. The spirit of the rebellion breathes through
"his entire speech." In vain does Mr. Ferry
demonstrate by reference to the action of the
Republican conventions and reconstructed Leg
islatures -of all the Southern States that they
put themselves on record in favor of the remov
al of disabilities ; in vain does he show that the
Northern Republicans have declared in favor
of the same .policy ; Mr. Morton will bear no
reasoning, no facts; but, closing his ears against
them, pronounces the effort in favor of a gener
ous policy, a new rebellion. He appears to
think that without a new rebellhm his party
n ill Stand no chance at the fall elections, and is,
therefore, determined that there shall be one.
He goes so far as to assign to Mr. Ferry tlie
leadership in that rebellion. I. , yhat arc we
to think of .Mr. Mtrton'a candsir l.en he makes
Ijjie following unblushing declaration ;
Sir, the war is not over, and will not be.syer

ncn to power and bring them back to make
laws for this country.
Th. war has, been over eTcr since The nrren
der at AppoOB ittox, so far as the fighting men
Sin Concerned, but with mere partisan politi
cians, like Mr. Morton, it will never lie at an
A-nJ so long a they can make it subserve nartv
or personal ends. "Murder stalks abroad at
noonday audSuidnight,'' and "there is no peace
or aecurity of the great body of the Union men

tor, when he know that Union men are as sale
ut the South, as they are in the State of easy di

An election for Supreme Court Judges took
place in New York last week, which resulted in

loo defeat of the Republicans. Resides, the Dem
ocratic majorities have increased in the rural d; -
IricWeven more than in this oerrnpt metropolis.
The Republican party in this city and State is
completely demoralized; and if it cannot lie rad
ically reorganized, it might as well be disband
ed. Its present forlorn condition is due in great
part to, the utter failure of the national Admin
istration io ruin ,n the pledges wherewith it ob
taineiVjHiwer, and in partly the incapacity and
corruption of its local leaders.
I 'row the very start (Ten. i rant's Administra
tion was a heavy load iih)H the party in Net?
York, and the burden lias been growing m
inroleTTibtiT with every mrmthr ttrat-hn--elapsed-
s:nce he tmk the oath of oliice. lie has shown
an utter laclcot statesmanship ill dealing w. il
the great questions which have come beforehim ;
whilv his-uant of all tact in the choice of his
confidante, and in thedi-tributjhn of his pat mil
age in the State of New York, proves that he is
incapable' of rjsing to the level of a politician
eecTi of ordinary importance. The siwinrr llio
Kefiublican p-rty gives it to Is? understood th
under un possible circumstances can Grant be
its candidate for re-election, the Isstter it will be
fbr that party. Not its future triumph merely,
but even its healthy existence, demands that the
party reach and public,, announce this determi
nation without delay.
Rut this terrible defeat. of the Republicans is
also in a measure due to the shameless barter
old sale of the party to the IVmiieraey by Re
publican leaders in the 1." t Legislature, in con-
s'MH'raiiori oi n larpeamoimi in casn. iwonr inree
gnsawv jobs, and a few fat oflioes under our new

did not rebuke the t.rcachc-y of their corrupt
leaders. The Sua called loudlv Usin ' I n. but
they had ngu sense to hear. Now they all are

IlillsiHjro , tlie scene ot his early prolessional la
bors, for a long period his boine, and his,cho.seu
place of retirement in his declining years, has
left a void in the communitv which is the sub

brought lucther his profeiouon.il brethren, prac
ticing in the conrt, to give expression to their
sense of his loss to the country, and their appre
ciation of a public character so admired, distin
guished and useful.
Entering upon an active career in the practice
of the law early a ?r attaining tu years of ma
jority, and pursuing it either at tlie Bar or upon
the Bench until his voluntary will drawal from
the highest seat of justice in the StaU-, when ap
proaching the age of seventy, he won distinction
as a Counselor, Advocate and Judge, which by
general concession assigns him few rivals and Ho
superior in the annals of .North Carolina, and
gives him a place in the front rank of American
Lawyer.
