Senator Wilson has prepared a bill, and will press it to an early rote, repealing all laws in the south which recognize inequalities in civil rights and; immunities in consequence of distinctions or differences of color, race or descent. BY MAIL. SOUTH CAROLINA. President Johnson to Governor Perry. Governor Perry has received the following tel egram from the president: WASHINGTON, Nov20. To B. F. Ferry, Provisional Governor: I do not think it necessary for the members elect, for South Carolina, to be present at the or ganization of congress. On the contrary, it will he better nolicv to uresent their certificates of election after the two houses have organized, which will then be a simple question, under the constitution, of the members taking their seats. Each house must judge for itself the election re turns and qualifications of its own members. As to what the two houses will do in reference to the oath now required to be taken before the mem bers can take their seats, is unknown to me; and I do not like to predict. But, upon the whole, I am of opinion it would be better for the ques tion to come up and be disposed of after the two houses have been organized. I hope that your legislature will adopt a code in reference to free persons of color that will be acceptable to the country, at the same time doing justice to the white and colored population.

F the senate to report joint rules for the government of the , two houses du ring the session, was taken up and adopted. The speaker appointed on the part of the house, Messrs. Wough, Jenkins of Warren, Henry, Bax ter and Wilson, Resolutions were introducedbv Mr. Russell to disperse the misapprehension upon the northern mind as regards the state ; of public feeling in North Carolina growing out the recent elections. Whereas, There are numerous indications that a large portion of the people of the northern states of this union have been led to believe that the people of North Carolina ar not well disposed towards tne general government ; and whereas, it appears from a telegram from his excellency, the president of the United States, to the prori- sionalgovernor of this state, published in the Standard newspaperof the 29th inst., that his excellency has been misinformed as to the views and sentiments of the people of North Carolina, and especially as regards the issues involved in the late election of this state ; and whereas, jt is right and proper that this general assembly should correct, as far as may be in its power, such erro neous impressions and vindicate the character of the state, therefore be it Resolved, That the people of North Carolina have accepted the terms Offered them by the president of the United States, and complied with all the conditions laid dovm by him as ne cessary to restore our practical constitutional relations with the other states of this union, and that they have done so in good faith and with the intention and determination to preserve and maintain them. Resolved, That the people of North Carolina are loyal to the government of the United States, and are ready to make any concessions, not inconsist ent with their honor and safety, for the restora tion of that harmony upon which their prosperity and security depends. Resolved, That we have confidence in the ability, integrity and impartiality of Andrew Johnson, president of the United States, and that in behalf of the people of North Carolina we hereby return our thanks to him for the kindness, liberality and magnanimity which he has displayed towards us. Resolved, That a copy of these resolntions be transmitted to his excellency, the yresident of the United States, and to the congress, when it shall assemble. Mr.. Jenkins of Warren advocated the imme diate adoption of the resolutions. He thought they expressed the sentiments of the entire peo ple of North Carolina, and that being Tittered as .the earnest, spontaneous declaration of the peo ple, would have the effect of removing from the minds of the president and the northern people any erroneous opinions, concerning the loyalty of the state to the union and the constitution. Mr. Henry desired an opportunity to consider the resolutions with more deliberation ; he dep recated hasty legislation upon a subject of such importance. These resolutions contemplated BY MAIL.

The committee reported whole number of votes cast 154, necessary to an election 78, that Mr. Best had received 78, and Mr. Williams 76, and that Mr. Best having received the requisite num ber of votes was elected, and the report was re ceived and concurred in. Then on motion of Mr. Simmons, the house ad journed to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. DAILY WIL- eeported expressly for the MINGTON HERALD. Saturday, Dec. 2. The house met at 10 o'clock, and, after prayer and the reading of the journal, proceeded to business. Robert H. Cowan of New Hanover, appeared yesterday, qualified and took his seat. Mr. Teague stated that he was recorded on the journal as having voted for Mr. Best, while the truth was he voted for Mr. Williams. This would have made it a tie, as Mr. Best was elected by a majority of two. The speaker decided that it was too late to cor rect any error under the existing facts. Mr. Smith of Hertford introduced a resolution to go into an election for a United States senator for the long term, commencing on the 4th of March, 1865, and then immediately for a United States senator for the short term, commencing on the 4th of March, 1861, assigning as a reason for so drawing up his resolution that if they were sent to Washington without designating the term for which each is elected, neither could take his seat. The failure to designate the term is only to new states, never before in the Great Britain. The London Times says that it is reported that Mr. Cushing is instrucied not only to co-operate with Mr. Adams in bringing the respective claims of the two governments to a settlement, but to ascertain the opinions prevailing u Eng land concerning American finance. Such a pur pose, it says, would strongly attest the pacific disposition of the American government, and as good credit means sound policy and good ad ministration, such news should be encouraged as a benefit to the whole world. The London Star says that there is but little doubt that Earl Russell has determined to sub mit a reform bill to the house of commons. It is stated that the cold weather has had no effect in staying the cattle disease, but that the frost and rain has rather aggravated it. Stephens, the Feniau Head Centre, has been again remanded for further examination. Martin Higgins, reported to be another Head Centre, had been arrested at Tuaui and commit ted for trial. The Dublin Evening Mail states that a person was despatched from New York in September, aud arrived here with credentials to appoint another Head Centre in the place t' Stephens. He accomplished his mission, and ivturned the name of the new Head Centre, hieh Avas kept secret. The Irish judges had decided that no action could be maintained against the lord lieutenant of Ireland, in his official capacity, in the Luby case. The London limes soys there or be no doubt of the treason of the head centre and his accom plices, and trusts that Stephens' arrest will ex tinguish feniauism altogether. A million and twenty-four thousand pounds sterling in gold is en route troin Australia. The news from Jamaica and Chili caused a heaviness on the London 'change. SIR MORTON PETo's ACCOUNT Of HIS JOURNEY. Sir Morton, the newly elected M. P. for Bris tol, had returned from America. He had made an address, in which, after a few words urging Earl Russell's claim to the confidence of the na tion, he went on to speak of his journey. Refer ring first to Canada he declared, that in no part of England is there greater loyalty for the cpue'en 4han there is in Canada. 1 Then, coming to the western .states, he spoke of the extraordinary increase of population ainl industry, especially at Chicago, which, a lew years ago, was but a village, and now contains 250,000 inhabitants. Turning eastward t Bos ton, he said thai there no sign of the war could be seen, for that, during the war, $5,000,000 had been spent on public works aud improvements, Adverting to the rational lie said that no one could doubt the ability of the people to pay it, and that any one who suggested the idea of repudiation would be scouted with indignant contempt. ' Fenianism he treated as utter folly. Finally, he declared his belief that it would be impossi ble for two nations like England and America to imbue their hands in each other's blood, and he praised Lord Russell's proposal for the appoint ment of a commission to investigate such claims as the two countries might agree to refer to it. THE ALABAMA CONTROVERSY. The further correspondence between Earl Rus sell and Mr. Adams is published in all the Lon don journals. In the first letters Earl Russell cautions Mr. Adams that any claims arising out of the depredations committed by the Alabama cannot be submitted to the proposed commission. To this Mr. Adams replies by asking what cases will be so referred, and Earl Russell promises that an answer shall be sent shortly. In antici pation of that, and by waytof putting on record a justification of .his policy during the time that he held the foreign seals, Earl Russell writes a long letter on the 3d instant, reviewing his policy, and concluding with the announcement that this u iU be the last opportunity of reverting to the subject. In this connection he contends that there is no paral lel between the conduct of France when our American colonies revolted and that of England during the recent rebellion, inasmuch as England never conceded belligerent rights to her colonies, while America did concedetnem to the confederate states. Next, with regard to certain regulations for the prevention of breaches of the foreign en listment act, which exist in America, but not m countrv. Earl Kusseii comenu. i This was proved in issued from Bal- Mr. Sharpe introduced a resolution lo inquire into the propriety of introducing a bill to ascer tain the manner of qualifying clerks of the su perior court lately elected. Mr. Mahler introduced a bill, which passed its first reading, in regard to public records in Burke. Referred to the committee on judiciary. Judge Gilliam has just been elected judge of the fourth judicial district without opposition. Mr. Speaker Settle has been elected solicitor. In the fifth district Mr. Buxton, the present incumbent, was elected ; and Mr. McKay, solici tor of same district, by one vote. In the third district, Mr. Fowle has been elect ed judge. The following joint committees have been appointed; On the State LAbrary. Cameron, Kenan ana Russel. On Deaf and Dumb Assylum. McKay, J enkins of Warren, Allison, Davis of Halifax, Craig. On Military Affair. Webb, Hyman, Kenan, Luke, Mahler. , On Public Buildings. Joyner, Judkins and Moore of Alamance. T . On Private Bills. Waugh, Lee of Gates, Davis our own these are really ineffective. 1850. he savs. when nrivateers timore to prey upon Portuguese commerce, a grievance which the Portuguese govennent made the subject of formal representations that do not seem even to have received any answer from the government at Washington. Next, with regard to the conduct of the Ln tish government, Earl Russell contends that the hare done all that they could do in order to pre vent the grievances complained of, and m a mem orandum attached to the letter he gives a sum mary of all the proceedings which have been taken under the foreign enlistment act. Never theless, he will .not confer d that the act is per fect. He thinks the two governments might j wisely determine to consider whether a better measure might not be devised.
