EDITOR puGNlX: Notwithstanding ! au
thorized You, Il few days since, to publish
my declnation, the frequent requests of
friends have induced me to be a candidate
for tiic House of Representatives In
accepting the nomination, it is proper that
1 should announce my views upon two i'm
portant subjects in relation TO queries that
have appeared in your paper, viz: ''repu-
diation" and the 'stay law" The former
in my opinion, would be disgraceful to
people, dishonorab!e IN State and an un-
worthy idea to be entertained by q South
Carolinian.
The stay law believe to be unconstitu-
tional, as the Constitution expressly de-
clares that no law shall be passed impairing
the obligations OF contracts. Creditors
haze rights as ,oeH as debtors.
If the people Of Richland District Ito
VIII ON am grateful for past favors) should
honor me with a seat in the Legislature, all
my energies shall be directed 30 az to in

MARRIAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Standard, of 29th ultimo,
says:
We have heard various complaints
from different portions of the State,
IN objection to supposed regulation,
TO the fact that ladies were required
to take the oath Before they were
permitted to marry. Such was at
one time the military order, but we
are happy to say that civil law is so
far restored that this hard and incon-
venient regulation has been abolished; {;
and now, any and every lady in North
Carolina is free to marry when and
whom she pleases without taking the
oath of allegiance, except to her
spouse, which we hope to see duly
administered.

mechanical ingenuity and enterprise.
Instead of regarding the Erie Canal

"a TIE CRoPs -WHITE LABOR. Our
people know; says sthe, Macon Tele-
graph, that they can depend alone on
their own efforts, and they can see
plainly that freedmen are but little to
be depended upon, and doubtless the
bone and sinew of the whites viii be
spent to- the greatest extent stfe en-
sning year The prospect of much
higher prices, from the scarcity of the
great staple of the country hereafter,
will stimulate the industrious. Ws
expect half of the .ppoduct of the
next crop will be the result of white
labor. At the same time we cannot
see how even million of bales of
cotton can be produced. A Mrge
number OF the able-bodied negro men
have gone North, or enlisted in the
army, and majority of the freedmen
lett with us cannot be relied upon.
Time will prove our prediction. We
state the fact advisedly-the negro
will not work steadily unless com
PEELED to do SO. He has been trained
to compulsory line of conduct, and
when left to his own impulses. we
cannot expect a favorable result. He
is naturally indolent, and the system
by which he has been ruled has served
to increase that propensity. But by
industry, prudence and economy, the
white population through it's own ex-
ert1on and proper use of such of
the freedmen as can be relied upon,
the former will be able to realize more
for its own support, and profit also,
than heretofore. The future is bright
with hope to determined people.
and we believe all our predictions will
be realized.

fresident's Reconstruction Policy.
WASHINGTON, October S.-The
speech just made by Gov. Morton, of

is regarded as important in executive
quarters. His reflections against the

who has been in Indiana some time
back, asserts that the negro suffrage
policy would be voted down in
Indiana by from $4,000 to 100000
majority.
Governor Morton does not condemn
the favorite radical idea of excluding
the Southern Representatives from
Congress, the idea is gradually gain

K1sarET.-All natural means having

Constantinople, the Sultan of Turkey
has come to the conclusion that eeeat,
drink and be merry is about the best
course to pursue under the disheart-
ening circumstances. He has issued
q sort of firman, adapted to the ext
gency, wherein everybody is enjoined
to sing, dance and feast, within the
limits of the capital. This is prac-
teal illustration of the tenets of Ma
homet's creed-here to-day, gone to-
morrow. The deaths per day in the
stricken capital of Turkey are re-
ported at 1000. The walls for the
dead and dying are strangely involved

in this CHASTITY life-in-death existence,
