satisfactory. We had no knowledge, when

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Raleigh,
N. G., Standard, of Wednesday, con-
tains the following highly important in
tellgence Gov Holden has received the
following dispatch from President John
s1n, which is laid before the public for
their information
WAsHINGToN, d. c. Nov 9th, 1865.
Hon w. W. Holden, Provisional Cover
ner of North Carolina:
"Accept my thanks for the noble and
cffectual manner in which you have dis
charged your duty as Provisional Cover
nor. You will be sustained by the Gov
ernment. The result Of the recent cleo
tions in North Carolina, have greatly dam
aged the prospects of|the State in the res
toration of its governmental relations
Should the action and the spirit of the
Legislature be in the same direction
it will greatly increase the mischief
done, and might be fatal 1t is ho-
ped the action and spirit manifested by
the Legislature will be so directed as rath-
ther to repair than increase the difficulty
under which the State has already pla-
ced itself.

under the Constitution of the United
States That, when our armies advanced
and drove their armies and with them
their State governments off the soil they
claimed to control, they ceased to be
States at all. How can State exist
without Government And where was
the government ofany one of those States
after our victorious legions occupied the
territory?
But this-is all aside from the main
question. In former article we reques-
ted our neighbor to inform us upon what
principle, recognized by democrats, Pres
ident johnson was justified in requiring
the adoption of the constitutional amend
ment; in requiring the adoption of an
anti slavery clause in their State consti-
tuition as also an article repudiating their
State debt. The only answer to these
interogatories, was that it was necessary,
in order to sustain the principle of the
Emancipation Proclamation. To this we
replied that the Proclamation was a mill
tary measure in time of war. That as
soon as peace was restored, then the sta
tus of the negro was proper subject for
the court, and not for the Executive
That on the other hand, according to our
understanding of the just principles of
our Government" Constitutional Amend
ments, both State and national are polit
cal questions, having no reference to nor
in any way dependent upon military orders
nor proclamations, and that al owe every
thing else they should be the embodiment
of the peoples ,ciU who adopt them. To
this subject the HsrDH '!man" has not
deigned to reply We trust he will give
them his attention on a future occasion.
We are not disposed to let him effect too
much for the purpose of lodging over
these matters. And as his answer has
been deferred so long, he will also much
oblige us by informing ''intell gent
Republicans, why it is, or upon what
Democratic principles tile President Or
ders his military Geyernors,-eight
months after the termination of the war
to retain the control of their States, all
though ciug Governors have been elected
as also legislat ires. We want no dod-
gug. but straightforward answer; or
else "give it up"

PARKs,-Thc New York Central
Park covers about 1000 acres of
ground, aud has 8 mils of carriage
road, five miles of bridle-road, and
tween ty miles of walks. In Eng
land, the royal park of Windsor has
$500 acres; and Hyde Park has
4o0 acres Regents Park, 450 acres;
and kensington Gardens, $50 acres.
The carriage-road Of Hyde Park is
three miles round. The Phoenix Park,
in Dublin, contains 1852 acres. In
France, the famous Bois de Boulogne
is now extended to 1000 acres. Vi
emma has her prater four mil long.
In fact, all the great cities of the
civilized world have their great and
small parks, an instructive sense of
actual public nece sity seeming to
dictate their existence. Windsor
Park and the Bois dc Boulogne be-
long to the English : | French crowns
their use by the common people be-
ing limited privilege rather than
a positive right. On theother hand,
the New York Central is the undis-
puted property of the people and
no official can have any other privi-
leges there than are ollowed to tho
humblest citizen. The origin Of parks
is traced to the days when it was
customary in England to set apart
large enclosures of wood and field for
the safe-keeping and cultivation Of
deer ; those enclosures being first
known as royal preserves" and f.
nally, under certain restrictions,
thrown open to the public.

DEATH OF VAN AMBuRaH.-Isas

DEATH OF Van AMBURaH.-Isaac
A. Van Amburgh, faniious for his
feats as tanner of wild beasts, died
suddenly, at Philadelphia, on We'd
nesday morning, in the 55th year of
his age He began his career as a
keeper of animals in menagerie,
and soon exhibited the extraordinary
power over them which he professed.
He made his first appearance in 1858
at New York: in the cages of lions,
tigers, leopards, etc. In one of his
subsequent places he rode horse from
the stage up ''set of runs, or MIN
ic wilds; {; and while on the way, a
royal Bengal tiger sprang from a
thicket upon him. A fearful struggle
then took place between Van Am
burgh and the tiger they clut ,hed at
each other and grappled, and the
contest continued, the combatants
rolling and tumbleing until the reach
ed the footlights- On one occasion
he introduced with the presence of
the lion a child and lamb. The
thought was suggested to him b. the
Scripture phrase "The lion and the
lamb shall lie down together, and a
little child shall lead them" While
in England in 1889, Queen Victoria
made several visits to Van Amburgh.
Once she remained till the audience
had gone, to see the feeding of the
beasts. They had been kept with
out food for thirty-six hours. and
we're fierce and ravenous-so that the
lion and tiger simultaneously plung-
ed at lamb which was taken into
the cage, and would have made two
mouthfuls oft, but Van Amburgh lash
ed them with severity, and drove
them into their corners, where they
remained in perfect quiet.
Van Ambnrgh, in the course of
his career, had many severe contests
with the animals, in some of which
he was bitten and torn, but he al
ways came off the victor. He pos
sessed great physical strength and
fearless courage. He had a command
ing presence his movements were
graceful he was firm, and under all
circumstances self-possessed. In his
intercourse with his acquaintanees-
he was never married-he was ex-
ceedingly kind, and even gentle and
his geniality was one of the most
prominent of his qualities.

IT APPEARS that in the Tennessee
Legislature the resolution remonstra-
ting against the pardon Of JEFF. Davis
and others was amended by adding
the names of James Buchanan aud
John c. Breckenridge to the list de-
clared infamous and worthy of death,
on motion of DIR. Keith, who stated
that he had been Democrat, and had
been deceived by them. The pream-
BILE and resolutions were then adopted
10 to 3.

Governor Parson, of Alabama, rec
ommends the comforting illegal rights on
the negro, the same. as are enjoyed by the
now-voting whites. But this same Gov
ernor wanted special code for the blacks
which would keep them in sort of vas
salage. If he could only come to the
conclusion that the coIored race and the
poor whites are entitled to precisely the
same legal rights as the "more favored
classes would exhibit some degree of
heartiness IN securing it, and in doing so
woald receive the support of a majority Of
the citizens of Alabama; the question as
TO the reorganization Of that State would

Democratic Consistency.

Whenever, in his opinion, it is necessa-
ry in order to stir up the prejudice OF the
people, against the negro, our neighbor
offhe Herald, will have us understand
that the American citizen of African de-
scent is one of the most docile, peacoa1le
beings imaginable When, for instance,
it was proposed to have him fight for
the Union, it was nonsense! The negro
had no courage He would never make
a soldier. Now when it has been dem
onstrated that he. could make soldier,
that he was possessed of courage, cf dar-
ing and determination. We are informed
that he is capable of performing the
most daring and cruel deeds. In quite
lengthy article in the Herald we are re-
referred, in proof Of this, to the bloody
scenes that have lately transpired in ia
maca. For ourself, we are free to admit
that we are not well informed as to the
causes that have led to the present unhap-
DIV state of affairs in that Island, but we
would not be surprised, if the whole
truth we're known, that it would be found
to be attributable to the working of a
class of politicians in that Island similar
to those which are known by the name Of
copperhead, in this country; whose polit-
ical employment seems to be to stir up,
on the part of the tairer complexioned
portion Of the people, a prejudice against
the negro race. But the burthen of the
Heralds article seems to be to prove how
impolitic it is to extend to a
race so ferocious, any political rights
Now in this we think our neighbor rather
inconsistent. We have in our own coun-
try, without going to British Island
examples of the most iendish cruelty,
perpetrated by class of men formerly
citizens of the United States-Good
Democrats in their day-By them Or
phan's Asylums have been set on fire and
consumed by the flames, with the Or
phans in them Can any cruelty exceed
this ? Unless, perhaps, it might be that
of the indiscriminate murder of garrison
after its surrender, as at F,r Pillow, the
boiling of our dead soldiers at Bull Run,
or the numerous and various acts of fiend-
ish barbarity perpetrated upon our Union
prisoners at Florence, Andersonvlle and
elsewhere! And yet while the crime Of
perjury is upon the souls of many Of
them, and the hands of all red with in
nocent and patriotic blood, and while
the victims of their iendish cruelty are
yet scarcely buried, they are knocking at
the door of Congress, for admission into
our nation al Halls, and our neighbor and
all his sort are loud in favor of their adj
mission. A nd in their behalf dare even
to invoke chat instrument which they
have already basely perjured themselves
to overthrow-the constitution Of the
United States. What jewell consttten
cy is2 May we not indeed exclaim

The editor of the Madison Courier
viciously attacks, the custom maintained
on most Western railroads Of keeping
separate cars for ladies and gentlem en
accompanying them. The result of the
arrangement, he says, is, that while the
ladies' car has a neat, home-like as
pect, the man-car is more like a hog
pen, or sheep-car; the floors covered
with tobacco juice, cigar stamps, bits OF
apple Feelings, torn paper, broken
bottle, with now and then something
worse. As there is some truth in the
CO~riers complaint, we copy more OF
his objections. He says: ..e
" In the ladies car no smoking. is
allowed, for fear it might be offensive to
their delicate sensibilities. In the man
car cigars may be smoked with perfect
IMMUNITY, no matter how Offensive to our
delicate seDsibilities. 1t frequently hap
pens that some old countryman gets out
his old rusty pipe, that he brought from
the fatherland, and after charging it
we'll with the strongest tobacco to be
found, sets il afre, and smokes US out.
We presume it is delightful to. him to
see the clouds of smoke, enough to daz-
zle she sun, as they curl up and around
we don't think it delightful. He may
see in the strong-smelling smoke visions
of home, and tender scenes, of days
when he with his Susan talked love over
'sourkraut and cheese, or courted
Bridget of the Green Isle-ioe can't see
al He, with his strong meerschaum; or
time-worn clay pipe, may feel the soft
tintillations of love and sing of Rory
O'More or Bingen on the Rhine we
cant feel so-we feel like paEing."
