WHY THEr WANT Civil WAR We presume
that few here who trouble themselves to note
closely the developments Of the views aud designs
Of those at the South who prefer disunion to any
guarantee Of southern rights in tbs Union, fail to
comprehend the fact that none win be more dis
appointed than they, II civil war fails to follow
the secession Of South Carolina. Else, they fear
that their cherished scheme of an entire Southern
Confederscy may, after all, be defeated by the
fusal Of the border slaveholding States to trust
their future in the keeping Of such statesmen as
Messrs Iverson, Toombs, Wigfall and Keitt As
regretable as the fact is, 1t is now becoming 50
plain that none but the wilfu.ly blind fail to
see 1t, that civil war thus forms the groundwork
Of the policy for the immediate future, Of those
who assume to launch the extreme South upon the
uncertain sea of Immediate and separate State Sc

CURIOUS FREAK In the North Carolina House
OF Commons committee has been raised to in
quire whether the House has been duly organized
In pursuance Of law. 1t appears that law Of the
State requires the members Of the Legislature to
be sworn &" to support, maintain and defend the
Constitution Of the United States, to the best Of
their knowledge and ability" But the Clerk, in
swearing in the members, substituted the words
pows, and belief for g. knowledge and abllity,n
and hence the inquiry The Clerks motive for
this alteration has not been explained and 1t 10
surmised some party trick was intended by it.
