NORTH CAROLINA.

The Raleigh Register Of Tuesday states that the
returns are not complete, but that it is ascertaned
with certainty that the Wings have carried both
branches Of the Legislature. In the SENATE their
majority will be four, in the HOUSE not less than
fweiUe. This, the Register thinks, will be more
efficient majority than if it were larger. Governor
GRAHAm's majority is now within fraction of
5000, and il is supposed will not vary far from that
when all the counties are heard from.

THE CALIFORNIA REGIMENT.

appears that the volunteers for California who are =. nr
sent encamped Governors Island are not quite willing
to further than they have goneAat least upon faith of
the promise which the Government has made TO them was
the general impression that after the enlistment
expired they 10 receive grants of land California as
reward for their services OF this intention implied that
California to be made integral part Of the Unon either
by conquest purchase but the conditions acceptance to
which each volunteer has subscribed make the destination Of
the volunteers perfectly indefinite and the locations of the
grants of land equally Of doubt II looks a. if there
had been ecei and the impressions made the of the
volunteers is said, Of the unfortunate character
Many Of them would like, very much and quit the
uncertain chance IN the West for which they have pered all
the sobecss of steady life in the great Easn cy
from whence they have been drawn.
Besides we do not what necessity there is for going TO
conquer California settle Oregon any thing Of the kind
Mr. Polk has declared that the prominent difficulty with Mex

sending large body Of troops far, when, in oil probability

persons will have learned that Paythng even in

The reasons given by the President for refusing
his assent to the French Spoliation bill are singu-
larly inconsistent and weak. Briefly they are, that
the claims are doubtful; that they have remained
unpaid good while, and can therefore remain so
little longer; that the money Is all ,odnfed for the
,car that it does not provide for the payment Of
the claims in money, but in land scrip, which is not
the right way and finally, to crown the incongrui-
ties, that the five millions appropriated by the bill
is not sufficient to meet the full amount of claims
This is much like the argument used in the cele-
brated case of the borrowed kettle, only good deal
more so :" l. The kettle was cracked when we
borrowed il. 2. II was whole when we returned
it! 3. We never had it,
The Justice of these claims on our Government
is, we believe, never denied, by those who under
stand their history, which briefly this During the
Europe brought about by the Revolution lin France the
French committed many outrages upon commerce,
csy seng and conscang the ships and other property of
American merchants to the value Of millions Of dollars
Our Government demanded redress and France acknowledged
the justice of the claim, and in the purchase of Louisiana,
the United States turned it in part payment agreeing
satisfy citizens who the losers But the payment has
been made though than fifty years have elapsed
since Government assumed it, The subject has
constantly before Congress- and the committees whom
referred have uniformly reported favor of payment but
the bills for the purpose either through obnacy careless
ness other obstacles have failed getting through both
Houses Of the Congress- until now This bill appopra
ted but five millions for the object and that from the public

millions Of dollars to tempt Mexico to make trea-
ty with /" convenient boundary" "ha the ADJUST
menf Of this treaty." he says, noe ought to pay a
fair equivalent for any concessions s0hich may be
made by Merico.''
This is beautiful pendant to the harbor bill veto
message. We don't see that the President has any
quainas about express constitutional powers
He evidently thinks it both "expedent and consti-
tutional" to pay millions to buy new territory on
the South. Will those who approve of the Presi-
dents constitutional objections to our harbor bill
inform in whas respect the constitutional power
is more clear in this appropriation to buy territory

TROUBLE ABOUT THE sUBTREAsURY.

IL was the intention OF Congress not TO let the
Subtreasury act 60 into operation before the LIST of
January next but by carelessness in the wording of
the BILL it turns out that it went into effect immedi-
aely on its passage, except to the provision in
relation TO specie payments which is postponed till
the LIST of January next And even here there was
mistake made, it is alleged, by which the act of
1883 was revived or kept in force, and this act al
lows specie only to be received in payments to the
Government A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post gives the following account of the bill,
which is, no doubt. on Treasury authority.

Mr.. Secretary BUCHANAN, in his letter to Mr..
McLANE four Minister in London) Of January 20,
lately published, says " The President ,ciH never
abandon the position he has taken in his Message
Clearly convinced of the right of the United States
10 the schole territory in dispute, and relieved by
the refusal of the British Government to accept
this offer Of compromise, from the embarrassment
in which the acts of his predecessors had placed
= him, he Uould not authorize the conclusion of a
= treaty on that basis" In this same letter he re-
marks that !" the question of peace or war may be
involved in the issue - and for this reason although
himself opposed 10 the acceptance Of such terms,
and as the Senate are part of the war-makng as
well as of the peace-making power, if such propo-
sition were made by the British Government, he
would feel it to be his duty to submit to them for
their advice before accepting rejecting it. In the
same letter he repeats the declaration that the
PRESIDENT mil accept nothing less than the whole
territory, unless the Senate should otherwise de-
termine." Fortunately the SENATE had previously
indicated their determination not to sustain the
President in his claim, and it is to this we are in
debted for settlement of the controversy.

bills, of just the character of this, at the following
