E&JJF.F FBOM POLUTICAL DlSSABIUTIES. ;A bill to relieve every man elected, o office, in this State, from the tlisabili:ies im posed upon him by the act ol Congress, lias passeVtiie"llouse of Bepresentatives, by a tvvo-thij-ls vote. The .Svjaate bas not acted yet. KulterjUnl Stus-. Our cotemporary has been led iuta error, by a paragcujdi in the Standard on the sub ject wbic! was not as clear a it should have been. Tlte dwability bill pas?ed the House was made up of names recommended by the Convention. Some of thesj names ought uot to bare been recommended, ns they are those of unrepentant Rebels. No one proposes, nor does any bill before Con gress propose to relieve "every man elected to office." Our meaning in the paragraph referred to was, that those eleeted to office who had voted for the new Constitution, would be relieved. This is far as we have gone, and as far aa-we expect to go, if call ed to the Executive department. Stan dard. We Stand corrected we trust Congress will not relieve any jihui of his political disabilities w ho has not given his influence and support to Reconstruction. We hope Gov. Uolden will carry out what he fays in the last sentence. $Iobe Clubs. We are indebted to the following persons fur clubs ot subscribers to the Stab iuce last week : - Mr. E. D.

Our worthy Mayor has a number of hands at work on the streets, and is beginning to make them look more res pectable than they have looked for some .time. We hope that -the tax payers will fork over to the Mfsl al their taxes, so that .lie Mayor may coainue his force until our Vdlage may not be, as it has been, a re proach to the citizens of the place. There are many improvements needed aud we fear that the Treasury will be drain ed before they are all completed. But we think Mayor Justice is taking the right course, he is doing well what he does, so that we may have at least a portion of the Sheets in gu&dj order.

This firm, also, has on hand a good assort ment of other articles, which, like the fi in, dont need nay puffing. When our readers come to Rutherfordtori, to buy Goods, they would j3o well to give Messrs. J. A. IMw-Leb it Co., a call. Tue C n a i'.lotte Democbat. We see that the Conservative press of the State wo openhig a broad side fire on the above name Journal on account of the course it is per suing iolitically. 7'he Democrat is a Con servative paper but at the same time it is a paper that desires peace in our distracted country, and when these fire-eating Con servatives commence sponting he gives them fits, and this is sufficient for them to call him a Hbldenite, Carpet Bagger and all the low flung names that they apply to the Re publican party, if they can't control and make submissive to the leaders rule, they read out any man. Would that all the opposition press of the State were as the Democrat, for if they were we might again differ politically and at the same lime remain personally on good terms, but alas how different, it is death, politically, personally and otherwise, for a man to op poee the rule of the aristocracy, the intell gence, the wealth aad honor of North Caro lina they thinlc are centered in a few men of the State, who have once ruled, but vre are glad to say will rule no more.

The execution of Renbea Wright, who, together with a colored female accom plice, was tried and convicted of murder, at the Fall term of the Stokes Superior Court, took place near D.mbury, on Thurs day of last week. Upwards of two thous and persons were present at the execution. This is one of the few instances in which an exec.tion has taken place on Thursday. Friday, almost universally, is hangmaa's dayi JEc. A Cbwxal's Bhotiieb Executed by Mis take. A deplorable mistake was recently committed in a town of La Mancha, Spain. A crimnal was being conducted to the place of execution, when he escaped and took re fuge jn a hospital. As admission could only be enforced in presence of the civil author ities, the building was surrounded until the aorregidor (magistrate) could arrive." When thai functionary came an-entrance was ob tained, and a person wearing a dressing gown aud a .light-cap was men walking in the yard, an algnazil thought he recognized him as the fugitive, aud at once arrested him. The man on being questioned did not reply, but gesti culated with great auhcRtion ; he was never theless hurried away and the sentence of ex ecution carried out without his having ut tered a word. It turned oat afterward that he was a deaf and dumb iminato of the hos pital, aud Hie brothor of the real culprit, which lost circuiustanue accounts for the re semblance. "SpPBBiE. Cower.

Established in the second year of the war, it haw been atewdly conducted upon tho fundarorntiit principle that when the Government was saved from treason by the sacrifice of its loyal cfalatus it must bo exclusively restored is their name and by their bauds. A little more than two years ut ter the deleat of tho rebellion finds the work of restoration on this principle nearly halT finished ; but treason, still at work, has become defiatil un der the encouragement of a perfidious Executive, who, after exacting more than all the condition insisted upon by Congress before the restor.it a. of the insurgent States, deKborately joined Uc traitors ho hadewora to punish. Congress 4nevtH therefore, under a double responsibility. It must insure republican governments to the tneurgi nt sections, and it roust sternly restrain tho ctTorti efithis perfidious President to defeat that cousuuj mation. To tho WEEKirr Chrokicle especial attention has been and will coutinu'e tobe given. . Its po litical, literary, foreign, and financial departments have secured It the highest position among con temporaries and readers, and tho developments of the time will find it eqial to all their new re quirement. The Weekly Ciisonipwc will be one of the most useful papers during the Pteeidential cam paign. As that campaign has already opened, persons desirous of receiving a newspaper whoso editors are in constant communication with lead ing men of tho nation at tlie capital, aud to con stant correspondence with the lender of the Re publican party in tho North and West, could not do better thin subscribe for it. It will contain the latest political intelligence and jilL the texts and points necessary to politicians who intend to take an active part iu that struggle. The Weekly Chronicle is a folio sheet of strong white paper, the printing neat, the ar rangon.cut careful, and tho whole under the ex clusive superintendence of an ablo and necom plished newspaper man. Apart frenvlts political contents, it is an admirable family companiin, and compares favorable with the estnbli-hed se rials of this class in the great cities, differing from them only in the fact that it is a oorfect reflector cf the times, keeping: paco with the move-menu of tho ago, audj'particularly with the frreat strug gle for the maintainance ot free government on this continent.
