MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF
DELAwARE.-The Wilmington Repub.
hcan thus speaks of the message of
Governor Salisbury, of Delaware, to
the Legislature OF that State:
He is greatly opposed to certain meas.
ures which were deemed necessary to
restrain the expression of sentiments in
favor Of rebellion. and enters into long
argument to prove .hat the rebels who
have laid down their arms should he
restored to the exercise of every political
rightand privilege! His own sympathles
with them can readily be inferred from
the opinions he has expressed. He is
also very much alarmed by the efforts
which are being made to elevate the
negro race, and urges that there should
be no relaxation of Legislative restrictions
in this State in regard to them. He is
haunted by the fear Of negro equality"
and cannot realize that equality before
the law does not mean social equality.
His argument in regard to the loyalty of
the people Of our State, and the injustice
of the restrictions imposed by the military
IIauthority is in accordance with the claims
of themen who aided and encouraged
the rebellion-men who argued that the
rebellion could mot abe put down, and
never voted a man nor a dollar to put it
down, nor for any one who. did. His
partisans have openly and repeatedly
hurrahed for jeff Davis, yet they were
all good Union men. We have not
time nor patience to comment on such
barefaced hypocrisy, and therefore
dismiss the matter by the remark that
the Governor appears to belong to
class who never receive new opinion
nor repudiate an old one, no matter how
mlschievous time may show it to be.

Charleston, committed suicide by blow
ing out his brains with q shot gun, at
his farm, near Mattoax depot, on the
Richmond and Danville railroad. He
committed the act deliberately, his
memorandum stating that he would not
live under the United States Govern.
ment and that the act would have been
committed when Lee surrendered, but
for the presence of company in his house
at the time.---N. C. Standard
