After a suspension of my editorial work tin this paper for nearly two '.months past, I resume it again to-day. Such differences as, for a time, existed between the managers of The EuAand the undersigned, and which resulted In the temporary suspension of my con nection with it, as Editor, have been fairly- and pleasantly - adjustedt and nothing more need be thought of them' by my friends, since I am satisfied.

In entering upon a new field of jour nalism, a few words of salutation seem to.bo appropriate. In these, leaving the past behind me, I shall look only to the future. After having occupied an independent position for several years, 'I. hnVft dellbomtelv attached myself to one of the two great political parties of the country the National. Repub lican Party. In doinz this. I have become a member a part and parcel of it, and shall stand by it with the firm ness and steadfastness of purpose that characterized me as a member of the Whig and Union parties of other days. I shall seek by all honorable means to promote its success, an a unity, in the State and in the Nation This, I am convinced, Is important to the preser vation of the National Government, and with it the blessings of liberty "to ourselves and our descendants." For, in the language of the great statesman, from whose teachings I learned my political principles, I believe that "the vigor of government is necessary to the preservation of liberty." But for the Republican party the Great American Union would now be numbered among the things that were, and the institu tion of slavery would still bo cursing the fairest portion of the fond. That it lAJlll 1111 1 LCH T1 iUl UUUIIg of its ascendancy is perfectly true ; but when'the magnitudo of the questions with which it had to grapple is con sidered, and the extraordinary .crises through which it was called to pass, it may, well challenge a comparison; In this respect, with all the parties that have preceded it, in this or any other country. ' t In discussing the various questions and issues of the day, I Khali strive to avoid everything like scurrility and per sonal vituperation. I shall give utter ance to my political sentiments, ana those of my party, fearlessly and with manly frankness, but will never descend to a personal quarrel with any one. I shall labor to establish for The Eua a tone and diameter worthy of the Organ of a great party. To my contempora ries of the Press, of all parties, I shall ever be ready to extend all proper cour tesies, and bespeak a return of the same to myself. I wish to cultivate friendly relation with all, and shall, therefore, endeavor to give just cause of offense to none. .LEWIS HANES. and Justice was kicked out of the fo rum." Nothing can be more unjust to the Court and Jury than this assump tion. The jury for the present term was summoned in the same manner as at all preceding terms since the late war. The jury that sat on Shotwell's case was composed of eight Republicans and four Democrats, and was as honest a J ury as ever was empannelled. Its ver dict, in convicting eight and acquitting three of the prisoners noth withstand Ing the fact that there wa3 very strong evidence against those acquItted-shows how honest and how scrupulous thfl jury was. Not a single human being who heard the testimony has beeri .heard to say that the verdict was not both just and righteous. And notwith standing the venire consists of hirty- bix, the same Jury that trtea snotwen and others has been retained by the counsel for the defence, with, perhaps, the change of a man or two, in every subsequent case. This is a vert high compliment to the integrity and Im partiality of the Jury, butt no higher than it has justly entitled itself to. And we dare say that the remainder of the venire is composed of men equally honest and conscientious. We hazard nothing in the opinion that Shot well and his co-conspirators have had as fair and Impartial a trial aany that ever took place on this con tinent, both by the Court and Jury: This fact ought to be made known to the people of the State through every newspaper within her borders, as a means of breaking up and destroying the Ku KIux organization. Its politi cal character has been fully proved, and the effort'to create the impression, bv iournals of the political party of which It is an ally, that the present trials are devoid of everything like fairness that the verdict ni the ciises was a foregone conclusion cannot have any other effect than that of encourage ment to the Klans. It is, to say the least of it, giving them moral "aid and comfort." The Journal has further complaint to make of matters that are incidental to these proceedings, but the matters of which it complains are some of the evil points of Ku Kluxism itself, and can only be gotten rid of by getting rid of the Klans themsel ves That these plans should be broken up and destroyed ought to be the wish of every good man in the State, as well !as one of he ob jects of the press, of all political parties, and to this end we invoke the aid of The Journal, for whose editor we always entertained sentiments o sonal esteem. have per- A PPO 1ST ED.

A card from Dr. G.'B. Poulsox, a highly respec tably citizen of Salisbury, appears in this issue of The Era, proclaiming himself a member' of the Republican party. The number of men in the State who are at heart Republicans, but who have never formally attached them selves to the party, Is quite large. Many, it Is believed, will follow the examples of Mr. Haynes and Dr. Poul son soon. - . : i Southern Outrages, The follow ing are the names of the Senators and.

That of Massachusetts was perfectly harmoni ous. Wm. C. Washburn was nominat ed for Governor on the first ballot by a very decided majority Contrary to the expectations of many, and the wishes of some. Gen- Butler did not bolt, lie made a sieech to the Convention after his defeat in which he accepted the sit uation, pledging himself heartilyto the support of the nominee. Massachusetts will be carried by the Republicans this Fall by an overwhelming majority. In the New York Convention, we are sorry to say, ierfect harmony did not prevail. This resulted mainljf from the factions into which New York city is divided. One delegation from the ritv was excluded, and another the Greeleyites withdrew. We seel how ever, that Mr. Greeley and The New York Tribune accept the nominations and will support the nominees. This renders it highly probably that harmo- nv will be so far restored as to enauie the Republicans to carry the State. This they can easily do, if united, ow ing to the recent exposure of the frauds anil corruptions of the Taninianv Ring the head of the Democratic party in that State and in the nation. Republicans, says The Washington Pcpublican, who deplore the dissensions In their party in New York can console themselves with the thought thaj their onnonents are even in a worse condi tion. There are now no less than six Democratic factions In New York city, all brought into existence by th rup ture in the ring. Pirstoi all, there is the German Democratic party, who claim that they can poll thirty thous and votes. The Democratic Union is the second organization. It polled 27, 000 votes sonic time ago, and has fought Tammany for the last seven years. The Led with party stands next on the list, and numbers about 10,000. The young Democracy is the fourth, and, last of all, the Mozart party under the leadership of Ben., Wood. Taminany is the sixth, and even still the strongest party of them all. Both Conventions endorsed the ad ministration of PresidentJiKmtsj Mr. James E. Harvey; has retired from his connection with the editorial staff of the W ashington Patriot. The conduct of the Patriot will be lodged in the future In the hands of Gen, IS. Lu Jeffries and Mr. O. K. Harris. The Washington Star says : Mr. Jeffries was Assistant Provost Marshal General during the war, and has since been engaged in the practice of the law here. He is a writer of force and ability. With Mr. Harris' capa bilities as a journalist the public are fa miliar. It is understood that the Pa triot will now make a New Departure, (not, however, politically) and, drop ping something of its solemn pomp, will be more nearly a journal of mod ern times. ; I fitrht tlie Presidential battle among themselyes. It Is understood that Judge Stanton, of Maysville, Ky., Is to lead tills "new departure" in that State. Tills movement seems to be perfectly natural on the part of those who liave so vigorously opposed the Vallandigham-Giresbeck platform. From their standpoint the acceptance of that platform is a surrender to the principles of the great Republican party, and if they are forced to accept the principles of that party, they pre fer association with it. to that of their old Democratic friends, who, as they conceive, have deserted them. The present movement, doubtless, looks to some division in the Republican party that .will give the movers a decent pre text '.to separate themselves entirely from their former Democratic friends. But if this really be the object of the movement it will fail sicnally. The Republicans of the Nation will enter the next Presidential race as a unit, and so entering it will be certain to win. fThe Bourbons will cither have to accept of the Vallandigham plat form, go with the great Republican party, or exist as a faction without power or influence in the Nation. IS FEMALE , STJFFEAGE SECURED BY THE RECENT CONSTITUTION AL AMENDMENTS! This Is a question that; has, of late, elicited i much discussion North. A very large number Vf the advocates of Female suffrage, with Theodore Tilton at their head, contend that it is already secured by the 14th and 15th amend ments. Some of the . arguments ad vanced seem to be specious and plausa bc enough, but by no means convinc ing to legal minds. Among the able men who have been drawn into the discussion of late is Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, one of the ablest lawyers in the country and himself a woman suffrage; man. Mr. Carpenter takes Issue with Mr. Tilton, and makes a powerful and unanswerable argument, in which he clearly shows that the 14th and loth amendments do not confer the right of suffrage upon females. lie shows clearly that there is a distinction between "privileges and immunities," '"i m . .m A A . .

' ' ! THE NORTH CAROLINIAN. The advance sheet of--; this I paper, which has been so favorably criticised every where and by all parties, has al ready been noticed in these columns. We to-day give Major Hearne, the talented and gentlemanly j editor, the benefit of his own declarations as to the character and objects ofUiis paper, in the following extract: j The mission of Tlie North Carolinian Is the peace, progress and prosperity of j the country, through inculcating In tlie people a love or law and order as iiius- trated and taugnt uy me lasung pnei oles of the erreat Democratic party. The times are auspicious for a journal of that standard of excellence this pa per assumes for itself, and the local con dition of the people of North Carolina, in a political sense affords ample scope for the exercise and practice of .those great principles of free government, it is designed to teacn, present ana upnoia through these columns, i l The.

He took the ground that under a decision of the Supreme Court of thisState every mem- ler of the Empire in whatever portion of the State, is liable to be held respon sible for its acta in other parts of the State, whether guilty of any unlawful act himself or not, and therefore refused to say whether he was a member of the organization or not. j j j . Col. Saunders is Principal Clerk of the State Senate, and was elected by the Conservative party in that body, though the belief of his having fled to avoid ar rest was notorious at the time. ! This is conclusive of the fact that to be a Ku KIux presents no obstacle to promotion by that party. vj It is hoped that the Committee will be able to obtain Col.

Scientific farming is taught practically, if desired. Thcj institution is one of which the Episcopal Church has reason to be proud, and the work being done by it is of the highest importance to the colored citizens of this and other States, which will be, supplied with teachers from its halls.
