WILiMINGTON, SEPTEMBER 26 Tai WitMrtrorov Hmaid has been designated by the state department of the United States an official paper for the publication of the laws of mased since the breaking out of the "--fc r - rebellion. We are now awaiting tne reception of new material ordered some time ago for an enlargement of sheet, when we shall our commence the publication of these laws, and shall also be enabled to do our commercial pat-- rons full justice without resorting to the annoy ing expedient of a supplemental sheet daily as . i saw vtvovuvi a jl , --, . I TV laws naaaort hv M(lrM bin) a 1KH1 will I r I be of much interest to the southern people, who an but be in ignorance pf what laws they are J now called upon to obey. We are therefore preparing to increase our edition in order to supply the demand which is already taxing our best facilities. We shall feel under special ob ligations to those of our friends who may desire to procure full sets of these laws if they will end in their subscriptions at an early day. The sniroreBtion is ventured that the price of subscription to Thb Hsb.au will be but a mere item compared to the value to the subscriber of a full knowledge of all laws passed during the period of separation, and which now, of course, are binding upon all sections of the country. f ' , : ; BEGGING THE QUESTION. We have had occasion several times to notice the fact that, while the northern radicals are extremely vociferous for negro suffrage in the south, thev are afraid to face the music in their conventions auu ueinuuu ii , ui me preBiueut.-- if j j J :i -o i l : J i In none of the radical state conventions which have been held this fall in the different northern states has an outright, bold and manly demand for negro suffrage been made. The leaders of the party and the stump orators never fail of uttering fearful maledictions upon the president, J the administration and the southern couotry in case the paper bullet is withheld from the black man ; but the moment a convention meets and an official exposition of sentiment is, demanded these doughty champions of negro equality be come silent as the grave, submit to the adoption of some generality about equality, natural rights, etc., and then run off bellowing that the right of negro suffrage is endorsed by the pf ople. The fact is the fixed position taken by the president, and the wall of constitutional rights by which he has fortified himself, has staggered and de moralized the radicals. A few short months ago they ipenly and loudly delared that unless the negro Twag admitted Jovote no southern state should be admitted by. its represent atives into congress. They were quite sure: they had the game in their own hands in this respect. Congress was radical and: they could control congress. But as the time for the assembling of congress approaches they betray a -weakness of the knees. They find that congress, the war being ended and popular sentiment: being so palpably against such a measure, that- no man advocating it can hope for a renewal of his lease of political life, is disposed to further the plans of the president for the reconstruction of the union. Hence the pai ty leaders seek a method of getting out of the dilemma in which they have so foolishly thrust themselves.! Neither the president, nor congress will force suffrage upon the black men of the south against the wishes of the white people, and so a change of tactics is resorted to. At the Syracuse, N. Y., convention of the radical republicans, a report of which, we printed yesterday? theifollowing resolution was incorporated in the platform : Resolved, That while we regard the national sov ereignty over all the subjects committed to it by the constitution of the United States as having been confirmed and established by the recent war, we regard the several states in te union as having Jurisdiction over all local and domestic affairs ex pressly reserved to them by the same constitution al authority, and that whenever it shall be deemed compatible with the public safety to restore to the states lately in rebellion the renewed exercise of those rights, we trust it will be done in the faith and on the basis that they will be exercised in a spirit of equal and impartial justice, and with a view to the elevation and perpetuation of the full rights of citizenship of all their people, inasmuch as these are principles which constitute the basis of our republican institutions. That is all there is in the platform of this great party, as made at their (general convention in the great state of New York, touching the suf frage question. We contend that ; it is simply begging the question completely. Mark the reading of the resolution: Under: the guise of equal rights," "full rights of citizenship," etc., is concealed the main issue of suffrage for the blacks. Notice, then, that neither congress nors the president are appealed to to grantthis. All that the president has done so far is unqualified. ly endorsed, so that the next congress is left no resource but t likewise endorse and ratify those acts. But the appeal is now made beyond con press and the president, to the Southern people utrecuy. We regard the several states in the nJf s toring jurisdiction) over all local and do rustic affajrs expressly reserved to themhy the same constitutional authority," -and therefore to them the appeal is addressed that, whehthey shall be restored to full communion in the union they will grant "equal and impartial justice" to all, -which the j certainly will do. Thus it is that before the terrible array efjre tired conserratism in the country radicalism is put to rout, and seeks shelter on the : time hon ored platform of national democracy. This is not one of the most singtdar phaxes of political revolution, but it is ncrertheless a remarkable instanceof the changes that are wrought some times in a day. HOTELS. ; . ' A writer in the Petersburg Express under takes to deride the hotels of this state. We are free to admit that we have no grand and sump tuous caravansaries on the magnificent scale of the Continental, of Philadelphia;! or the fit J Nicholas, Fifth Avenue or Aster House of New Yort, but we .should be Tery sorry to have to admit that we were below the standard of the Petersburg houses. It is doubtful if a traveller can find, throughout all the. country, more in different accommodations than those furnished at Jarrett's hotel, for instance, in Petersburg And yet the managers tf the railroads leading out of that city have so timed the running of their trains, doubtless at the suggestion and with the connivance of' the Petersburg hotel keepers, that all passengers from the south, bound north, are compelled to lay over one night m that town Ana to enect tnis arrangement, passengers irom as far south as this point, are obliged to ride all night in uncomfortable cars, when, were the ar raneement otherwise, and they permitted to Utart from here in the morning, they would reach reiersDurg tne iouowing morning in time to connect with all trains and steamers bound north, precisely the same as now when leaving here twelve hour8 earlier. But tMs 1S the tribute paid to the Petersburg hotels, which otherwise might have scant patronage. And that the south is required to do so much to keep up those remarkably poor establishments it comes with a very bad grace for them to turn aroand and charge us with keeping poor hotels. It is a notorious fact that Bailey's Hotel in this town is infinitely superior, in every respect, to any thing available in Petersburg. Indeed, though a small house and inconveniently built for hotel purposes, miiey is constantly improving, re painting, papering and furnishing, while it is a conceded fact (hat there is not a more sumptu ous table set in the southern country than he furnishes. Barring the at present irreparable fault in construction and size, Bailey's hotel will compare favorably with any establishment , have south of the Potomac. And then, too, we the City Hotel, just past into new hands, and undergoing thorough rennovation and rejuvina tion, with a promise of making it in all respects I a first class house. It is conducted by men who thorougly understand their business, and spare no efforts to please their guests. At Raleigh the Exchange hotel, on Fayette- ville street, invites the weary traveller to a pro- fuse hospitality. Everything about the house is neat and clean. The table is bountifully sup plied. The rooms are sweet and inviting. The attendance is civil and accommodating. Our Petersburg grumbler must have stopped at the Yarborough house where they are in the habit of lodging guests in filthy rooms and sending them away on long journeys in the morning with no breakfast. No Huch outrages are prac ticed at the Exchange, which is recommended as a model of a hotel. InGoldsboro, Mrs. Griswold's hotel invites the hungry to bountiful meals,, well served, and ap partments newly furnished with all the modern conveniences. "While it is a pleasure to spend a few days at such a house, the reverse is certain ly the case at any house in Petersburg. And we might go on and speak of other houses in other towns in the state, showing how shame fully this writer has slandered us. There was a time, when the state was filled with soldiers eating out the substance of the land, when the fare at our hotels was scant. But that time is past now, and there is no excuse for landlords who fail to please their guests. And there is scarcely a town in the state where a traveller can fail to be pleased. The Subjfct of Pardons. The : president has either adopted a moie liberal policy conw cerning pardons or has improved the method of passing upon them. The number issued within a week must greatly exceed that of any corres ponding period of his administration. He has notified the Attorney General' to send him no more applications at present. It is estimated that fully fifteen thousand are now in the-White House awaitijg his signature. The crowd in ms reception room atternoons is dense and clamorous. President Johnson's Policy Reconstruc tion of the Cabinet Southern Church esA General Amnesty. The Washington correspondent of the Phil- adeldhia Ledger writes: The pres'dent will fight this radical war to the end. Within one month after, the inau guration of oor new president, I advised you, on high authority, that in no event would the radical clement be favored, and the whole course of Mr. Johnson since has proved the correctness of that assertion. There is no colder quarter of the city to the destructive taction than the white house. Kerjresenta tives therefrom have called and called, sent card after card, but in most cases the presi dent was too "busv " to attend to them: he is "engaged!" Their calls are less freaucnt. and they have opened the war outside. It toul bejvtilc though not without prob able serious embarrassment to the president in carrying out the work of "restoration" he has so nobly commenced. This is the new danger that threatens us." As long ago as the 14th of July, the executive saw the cloud of opposition to bis pohey rising, and then used the above words. Hia sagacity far seeing and penetrating saw it all. To meet the contest - he armed at once and planted himself square upon the bulwark of the con" stitution.' To a well known Southerner, last week, he said, My chart is the constitution. I shall not deviate from it a hair's breadth if I can help it. On that constitution the states must be restored, and the privileges which it oonfers must be theirs. They are entitled to them and.tbey shall have them!" The president is firmly anchored there, and it is "because he has so fast a hold upon the helm of the national ship, that the waves of fanaticism and discord dash about him- They would beat him from his position,, but it will be "thus far and no farther," and they who think otherwise do not know the pilot they are, dealing with. ine U8i oi raaicsi compiainis wms i iuau out, and to be presented immediately after the opening of con er ess, is as follows 1st, Refusal to extend negro suffrage. 2d. The appointment of secessionists as provisional governors. 3L The free exercise of the pardoning jwerv wherein were included many who should have been hanged. 4th. The introduction of arms into the Southern states. 5tb. The disbanding of the colored regi ments. 6th. The refusal to order; a keeping con fiscation. 7th.- The restoration of the .'Southern churches, . v 8th. The refusal to arraign Lee,' the leader of the rebel hosts, after he had been indicted for treason. 9th. The refusal to try Davis by a military court 10. The apathy shown in the enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine as applicable to Mex ico, Such is the list so far, and there is no dis puting that it is quite formidable but I re peat, the president is ready, not only for the opening gun, but for all the terrible fire that is expected to follow. That the conservative tnasses those who love their oquntry and their whole country will sustain him in solid column, there can be no question, and this is all the president asks. Grant him this sup port and he will band his name down to pos terity a second Washington. The time is not distant when there will be an entire reconstruction of the cabinet. -The members whose "time will have come" are Messrs. Stanton, Harlan, Speed and , judge advocate Holt. You may rely on what I as sert. It is the president's wish that his cabi net shall be a perfectly harmonious one, or -as nearly so as possible, and when all is ready the change will be made and the new members duly announced. Of eourse, nothing is known as, to when the portfolios will be tendered, nor 'is it likely the names will be1 divulged until made public by the president himself. Rev. Dr. Newman has had an interview with the president with reference to securing, if possible, one of the Methodist churchea at New Orleans for the use of those who have attended upon his preaching during the past two years in that city. The Doctor, I hear, represents the number of said attendants at "one hundred," and he thinks it no more than right that one of the three Methodist Episco- pal churches in that city should be set apart lv : i.i i- a.. .1.- j-V ivr uicjx use j m vtuvr wurua, iuuj, me eaince shall be known as the property of the north ern church. But to this Mr. Johnson most decidedly objected. He considered the church- es tne nghttul property ot the trustees, and it the-methodists of the north were anxious for for them tQ CQme together ' The propositions of Bishop Ames to submit the question of "title" to the chief justice of the United States is a ludricous one, when it is considered that there is, by the decisien of the president restoring the churches, no such question at issue. Perhaps the bishop bad not then heard of the restoration. Kuinors ot a probable general amnesty by proclamation of the president are still current, and it would not surprise me if such a procla mation were issued. As matters now pro gress, years must elaose before the docket ot rebel applicants is cleared, and the best part of the president's . time during the whole of that period must necessarily be occupied in hearing the individual cases. I cannot be- lieve that he will much longer continue the present system, but that an important change will be made at an earlyiay. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
