Irorlng the last flwal year .(.".4I3 ar-rc of public lands were disposed of. Of this qnanfjty 3.08.915 acre were taken under to b owe-tead law. and 2,159.512 acres sold forcaan. The remainder wa located with military- warrauta, Imliau scrips, or applied ia latinfaction of college or grants to raa.il- roaia. or to other public use. The entries under the homestead law during the last year covered Mil, 545 acres more than those dur ing tbe preceding year. Surveys have-been vigorously prosecuted to the full' extent of tho means applicable to the purpose. The quan tity oi land in market will amply supply the preaeat demand. .The claim uf tbe nw ander the home stead or pre-emption law is not. however, limited to land subject to sale or private en try. Auy unappropriated surveyed nnhlie land may, to limited amount, be aciptired uaaar tne former laws, if the party entitled to enter under them will comply with tbe re quirements they prescribe in regard to the residence and cultivation. The actual set tler) preference and right of purchase is even broader and extends to lands which were uu surveyed at the time of his settlement . Hi right vu formerly confined wi hin much narrower limits, and atone peiiod of our his tory wo conferred only by special Statute. They were enacted from time to time to le gatice what was theu regarded as an unau thorised Intrusion upon the national domain. Tne opinion that the public lands should he regarded chiefly aa a source of revenue is no longer maintained. The rapid settlement and unsuccessful cultivation of them is bow jnBt ry considered of more importance to our wafl-belng than is the (and whi. h the le of theru would produce. The remarkable grow th aad prosperity of oqr new States and territories attest the wisdom of the legisla tion -which invito the tiller of the soil to se cure a permanent home on terms within the reach of all.

It is es timated tbat aa additional quantity of 174. T.to,523 acres is still doe. under grants for liks uses. The policy of tbu aiding the State is bjiildipg work of internal inipn ve in euts vu iqiAigiiZxtad more than forty year since, la the grant to Indiana and Illioois.to aid theee Slats in opening canals to connect tbe waters of the Wabash with those ,4" Lake hne, and the rters of the Illinois with those nfTiaie Michigan. It was followed, with some inodiflcatious. in lha grant to Illinois of alternate section of public land within cer tain lirtiiaa of the Illinois Central Rail way .-r-. Fourteen States and sundry corporation have received similar subsidies in connection with railways, completed or in prooea of con struction. A tho rervd sections ore ra ted at the double minimum, tbe sales ol them at IBB enhanced price haa tho in many ia- s-aoee indemnified tba Treasury for the is enough in many cases to breed a rebellion in a loyal country against the Confederacy, and baa actually been the cause of much alienation of feeling in many parts of North Car .linn. It is not my purpose now to give instances and call for punish roent of the offenders that I do to their commanding officers-but to ask If some order or regulation ran not be made for the government of troops on detached service, the severe and unflinching execution of which might check thi stealing, pilleriug, burning, and anmelimes muidcrous con duct. I gie yon my word that in North Carolina it has become a grievance, dam nabfe and not to be borne. If God Al mighty had yet in store another plague, worse than all others, which ho intended to lot loose upon the Egyptians iu case Pharanh still hardened his heart, I am sura it must have been a regiment or so of half-armed, lialf-ulscipllned Confeder ate cavalry. Mad they born tartiedlonee among Pharaoh's eubjeetorwitb or with out an impressment law, he would hare become so sensible ot the anger uf God that be never would have foiloa ed the children of Israel to lha Red Sea. No, air, not an inch ' Cannot officers be reduced to tbe ranks for permitting this I Cannot a few men be shot for perpetrating these outrages as an example t Unless something csn be done, I shall be compelled in some ore. lions to call ont my militia, and levy ac tual war against them. I beg your aarly and earnest attention to this matter Vary rasaiutfully years, Z. F TAT We lay before our readers this impoi- is written and of average abililv, not withstanding the advetse criticism of vio lent political opponents. We think tbe paragraph ou reconstruction should have been oinft'.rd entirely, especially as, ac cording to the President himself, the free exercise of the ballet has only been ob structed in "exceptional cases.' The fish ery and border question Is discussed ia a tone of firmness nod decision, but not of hostility. The quest, on of Revenue re I'm in i referred t briefly but sufficiently to indicate that the government, under the control of the Republican party, will yield to the demand of the nation ou that point. A great reform in the revenue will almost certainly bo inaugurated by the next Congress. Exactly what shape it will take is now a matter nf some doubt Whether the reduction will be made in the tariff, or whether the Internal revenue will be abolished remains to be seen. The probability seems to be tbat there will be some modification of tbe tariff and that tbe internal taxes will be nearly all abol ished Tbe subject of a reform in the civil service the President meets squarely and in a manly manner, He ia himself an earnest civil service reformer, sud is ready to o-operate with Congress in the movement. 1 ; Ou one subject the President's silence is to be deeply regretted by the country, aud more deeply still by bis party we mean the subject of the removal of politi cal disabilities. While these disabilities remain it will be impossible to restore per fect harmony snd good feeling between the two lately beligereut sections. This articles oimpcaceBieut against lite Gov rmor. That tb resolution will be adopt ed by the House and tbe managers uf tba impeachment appsinted at an early day admits of but little doubt. Tbe trial, how - ever, will hardly commence until some State bad a right to reriresentHiioii in the board of directors oP litis Itailioed, smd the Governor as antboriscd to appoint seven Directors. Tbe power al the Gov ernor lo appoint Dirirtoia must cease, I ibink, with ihf repeal of the Act by which it wa confi-rred. It nay not be improper to aay, that tba Executive Department hn reeognit d the form and virtue of thia icjiealing Act by Ihr appnjuruirnt if Diicrtors i i ihu Wes tern Railroad. The repe lling yet restor ed his power iu that instance, and, as 'I think, take it away iu thia The cases me ariui igun. It is objected that the act is unconsti tutional. But the Legislature might u p. l i lo- act of 1869, provided il Jul not interfere wiib vested i igbl nor inn air the unprecedented misfortunes of tbe late civil wsr has made the homestead de cision ol vital importance to thousand of our citiseii. 1 he Senate by resolution, and without any party distinction has sus tained it : ud I: will be approved by a large majority of uur bttnaua and gener ous people. . If there are too many Ha pre me Court J udges lbs uBinber can be reduced before tbe next election, and brfrt- that tinv the hoim-slead decision will heactjiiie in and approved of by all the good pro pie- of the Slate. .The saving of the (ala ry of one or t o judges for a few years will hardly be regarded by unfortunate debturass a sufficient inducement to risk the homes and comfort their wives and children. Wheu men's interest are deep ly concerned tbev will uot be controlled i... ka I ....... 1. J . UU jil, lll. , r wi il . . I also earnestly hope that the Legiaht tnre, without disiii.eiioii of pany, will urge -Congress to amend the Bankrupt obligation nl contracts. What effect this Laws so that our jnesent State homestead time alter the Ckriatinus holidays, and will probably last for some time. This rbovama, which was, doubttoee, commenced after mature consultation among the Conservatives, is nothing more than wa generally expected. From the time the result of the election became known in, ill ibe n pacta lion of all pat ties ha been thai Gov. Holden and several of the Puperior Court Judges would be impeached. So far as the Governor is concerned It seem that these expectations will not be disappoint ed. After all the chaigea which had been so confidently niadc against the Governor by bi opponent ihcy could not well have doue otherwise than impeach him. Let them make goodl their charges, or ret tbe Governor stand vindicated before tbe world.

The result of tbe late elections in West tirginiA and Missouri ; and last summer' in Tenncaiee, is sufficient to convince all sensible men that .he day for nniversal amnesty has arrived. There are three important tbbiga that this government must do, Bud they will speedily be done. They are, a rffonn in the revenue, a re form in tbe civil service, and the removal of all political disabilities growing out of the late mr, They will be dt n i through the Republican party or srer it. If tin y ure speedily and graciously done by and through ibe Republican party, al party will thereby add twenty years to its lease of power. But K they are done oner the head af that party what instant its life, for all practical purposes, is at aa end, and it can never be resuscitated. Two of these things the Republican party, through its head, the President, has expressed its williugncss to do. Lot the statesmen of she party in Congress rise above tbe si lence of the President, aud enact a gener al law during the present session for tbe removal of all political disabilities iupos I responsibility of further struggle or of ma- ed by the 14 th amend ment, and they wlH hing peace. He it b-lieved by many to not only deaerra the thanks of tha eoan- he negotiating for an armistice. If ha sac try, hot will Braaa to ba tbe lira af their ohtaaiag this be will propose tbe party a'ao. And 1st tbea add (e this ajstilirtani of a Caawtilutul Assembly to de All the indications are that the war in Europe is rapidly drawing to a close. 'The French government seems to have played its last card and lost. It mobili zed all it force-sand eoi-ceotratcd all its energies to break tbe lines of the German around Pari. It first efforts promised to be successful, bat they all failed most signally in the end. The gram of the Prussian upon the French Capitol Is tighter than ever can never be loosed but by tin- voluntary act ol the assailants. Nearly all the important placea iu France are In tne possession" of the Hermans. They have recently occupied Orleans, Dt ippc and Tours. Upon the occupation of Tours the French Uovcriiment retired Uorduanx. The great French army of the I.oiie, from which so much was ex pected has been pretty thoroughly routed and demoralised. Paladine's army has been smashed up, and these heavy blows are rapidly being followed up by Prince Frederick Charles. German unity has been effectad, and King William ba, by the consent, or request, of all the German powers assumed tbe title of Emperor of Germany. It is now thought there will be no war between Russia and any of the other power.of Europe growing out of the Eastrrn question. We are much gratified to be able to state that at last there seems to be a faint glimmering of peace in tbe distance. Tbe latest rumors are that farther French re sistance is admitted to ba useless. Since the army of the Loire has been beaten in detail it is said that Gambetta. the bead of tbe French govern aaont, declines tbe S'ale and return her bonds, and the pro ceeds of imIc of bonds. The Comnanv have, by assenting to the act, so often al luded to, made the-msclvcs It abb- to the State for a return of bonds and the'r pro ceed. This is plainly intimated by the Supreme Cort The Supreme Court in the case of McAden vs. Jenkins, have in- iiinaieu tunc tne state nas no interest as stockholder in this road. The point was not fairly before the Court, but the dictum is entitled is consideration aa coming from the highest Court in h State. The qdeslioa is one of great interest and importance. The interest of creditors as well aa the Stale may be involved in its decision For any purpose of legisla tion now pending, I cannot conceive that any expression from me upon this point is necessary or advisable. I reiterate tbe opinion that the State has relinquished her right of representation in the 1! ,.u d of Di rectors of tbe Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad Company. 1 W.

J Mr Hanks : As it is ydnr business to acquaint tin- public with transactions of the dsy. I will relate a marriage cere mony to you as it was undoubtedly .per formed a few days since by a Radical Dutch Magistrate of our county. I re late it to you as one of the young man's waiters told it to me. The parlies came out, waiters, then bride and groom, took their position in the ceulrc of the room execiing Ksq. R. to stand in front, but his own fancy from some cause led' hitn to stand rather in one comer. All bands ready, be began, to read the ceremony over and continued to rend until he passed the place where the groom should have answered, "I will," without any hesitation, and discovering bis mistake, he" said, "I'm rong heare ! Shon 'yoTTOrter sed I vill V- Tbe young ladies father spoke and said, Esq. K , you should have told htm to say "1 will." "Veil den," said he , "shtop. an I Vill red it over ap in." He did so, and when be reached the place he said, "Iaw Shon, say I vill ; now Shuly Ann you say I vill." J ust before finishing the ceremony he paused for some minutes, tho parties waiting and concluding he did not intend to finish, were about talcing their seats, when he called ont; "Sbtop tare I ish not ton mil yon yiu" He then concluded the aaramony by pronouncing them mau and wife, but i be groomsman said ha did not. He then left lor home without waiting for his dinner, and felt badly, I have no doubt, to think he had made such a com' plete failure. I think the editor should know of every pablic man who showsiiiuch a "deep shade ef green." ?
