The Legislainre.


The prOceedings..nf the Legislature for Tuesday,
Wednesday; and Thursday will be found in the
STANDARD of today to which we invite the atten-
ton OF our readers. The proceedings are becom-
ing more and more interesting We have no space
to-day Tor, comment or for an Editorial summary of
the proceedings
On Thursday, Jonathan Worth, Esq, of Ran
dolph, was unanimously reelected Public Treasur-
er. This was deserved compliment to a faithful
and able public servant
The two Houses also had two ballots on Thurs.
day for Confederate States Senator. The Hon.
Edwin u. Reade, of Person County, received the
highest vote. 1t is to be regretted that Mr. Reade
was not elected on the first ballot 1t seems to us
that it there is any one man in the State on whom
all good and true Conservatives can promptly and
cheerfully unite, that man is B1win G. Reads We
trust to have the pleasure of recording his election
in our next issue.
The two Houses have baloted number Of times,
without making election for Secretary Of State.
Every other officer has been re elected. with the ex-
ception of the State Printer, and Col j. P H. Russ,
the present Secretary; and the particular friends
of these gentlemen have not been wanting Ia any
respect in liberaty and magnanimity in the course
they have pursued. The former declined to be
c'ndidate for reelection, in the hope that such
a course would tend to harmonic the Conser.
vative party; and the latter, when he found
that his name was likely to produce division
and STRIFE came forward before the party in eau
Gus and in very noble spirit withdrew from
the contest. The implied understanding then was,
fnot expressed that the great bo Of the So called
Vance Conservatives would vote for any gentleman
for Secretary of State who might be agreed upon
by the "straitest sect" The latter, after cOuzEa
ton, determined to unite on ". + Richardson,
Esq, Of Wake; but many Of the Vance C0nserva-
tives, by refusing to vote for Mr. Richardson,
seem not only determined 10 prescribe the
"straitest sect" but to dictate 10 them the ca.,dl
date from their OOn ping Of tie p.Tfy for orhsm
they should cote Meanwhile scs-ral Destructive
Candidates have received large votes for the clice
and some OF these votes have been cast by members
protesting to be Conservatives. This is in brief
the situation of affairs with reference TO the election
of Secretary Of State far as it is generally known
in this City; but there are other facts connected
with this election, of very significant and i'm
portant character, which it may be necessary here
after to lay before the public. We trust the
'straitest sect" and those other Conservatives
who are acting with them from sense Of justice
and right in this election will maintain their posi-
ton with unhinchng firmness. They have yielded
all that could be asked of them by just or re lsona
bic men; let them now stand by their principles
and maintain their self respect at all hazards.

ResoIced That the people of North Carolina are
that they believe that in every crisis which may
arise all constitutional modes of redress ought 10

unhappy country into scene of havoc and desc
ation.
ResoIved, That for the purpose of obtaining the
independence of the Southern Confederacy, 1t

made to that effect
ResOLued That the President of the Confederate
States, by and with the advice and consent oil the
Senate, being the constituted authority unGer the

''I.incoln is Elected and I'm Free"

''Lincoln is Elected and I'm Free"
At the serenade of Governor Hahn, at
New Orleans, Judge +. II. Durrel, in
responding to toast to the Governor,
said:
The first thing that brought Mr.. Lin
coin to his personal knowledge vas his
election as President Of the United
States in 1860. He knew that he was
elected fairly by the popular vote. When,
the morning after the election, the news
came Of his election, little negro came
to him while he was yet in bed, and with
all the enthusiasm of which young Afri-
ca was capable, exclaimed: "Lincoln is
elected and l am free He believed
then, and he had since that time no rea
son to change his opinion, that the negro
understood the contest in the length and
breadth, its width and depth, as we'll as
we did, and from that moment he had
labored with a certainty in his own mind
that God had resolved that through this
great contest slavery should cease to ex-
list. That, as inasmuch as the white man
was the FIRST slave, the black man should
be the last.

A Jumping Match.

A young man who fought, but did not
die at Autictam and Gettysburg, recent
ly went into the Province, on foot, with
some small articles for sale. One night,
just as the sable curtains of the evening
were being lowered upon him, he applied
at very respectable looking house for
entertainment. He was very kindly re-
ceived by young lady, who happened
to be the only one Of the family at home,
with whom he partook Of the evening
meal, and everything seemed to our hero
to be going merry as marriage bell.
1t seems, however, that the young lady
began to suspect that in entertaining q
stranger, she had not entertained IAN an.

%On the subject of 'Misccgnation'
which occupies 80 large . share of the
Copperhead papers, the Chicago Rails
road Gazette wittily says. ~
The advocates of this new doctrine
believe that if black woman is ct to bo
the mother Of children by white father;
she is equally fit to ba the mans wife,
and her children made legitimate By
marriage. The opponents Of this horri.
BILE heresy think It we'll enough to mako
prostitute or concubinc of a black wo-
man and sell her children, but that the
idea Of marriage between such a mother
aud the white parent is rcpugnsnt to de-
ceucy aud good morals Richard NJ.
johnson, the Democratic Vice President,
was tho first practical miscegenator on
record. Andrews, who headed the New
York copperhead mob in their raid on
defenceless negroes, and who lived on
the Infamous wages Of negro prostitute,
is fair specimen Of the latter class
