The letter from the new Corporation Attorney
Mr.. Shea, to the President of the Board of Al
|dermen, which we publish this morning, will
repay careful reading. 1t was called forth by
a resolution passed by the Aldermen, but which
failed TO get through the Board Of Councmen
directing the Corporation Attorney to dscon
tinuc all suits for the enforcement of the city
ordinances. Mr.. Shea, therefore, thinks il
proper TO inform the City Government upon
what principle and by what method be proposes ia
discharge the duties of his Office; and the citizens
viii be glad Of the assurance not only that the
ordinances are to be enforced but that obedience
will be exacted without fear or favor humanely
and justly, for the establishment Of good order
and the benefit of the city. II is a CLEAN OF the

DIFFICULT QUESTIONS TEND To
NETTLE TMCNSELvEA.

The Unionists ofNorth Carolina, relieved from
the pressure of Rebel violence and terrorism
unanimously declare that they will no longer be
ruled by Vance and his minions. They demand
aneY election for State Officers and Legislature;
they insist that their State shall ratify the Con
stiutional Amendment; and they choose to live
under the protection Of the Federal Government.
its laws and its Military police, until all this can
be brought about deliberately, quietly and in
due form. And this, We have reason to believe,
is in substance the wish Of the long-silenced,
ovcrborne, conscriptod, robbed, hunted com.
mon people of tho other States lately under the
heel OF the Rebellion.
Gen. Scbofeld, commanding in North Caro-
lima, promulgates General Order which de-
clares every person residing in that state Free,
under President Lincoln's Proclamation of Jan.
lst, 1865. But he also warns those hitherto on
shaved that they must work lor q living and
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1865-05-10

advises them to hire to their late masters when.
ever they can obtain fair wages By so doing.
And this advice they are generally needing.
Thus North Carolina is quietly settling down
upon basis of Union, Peace and Freedom.
And thus other States will follow her in the
same shining path if well let alone. Andherein
is the justification of President Lincoln's re-
fusal to beaommtted to any Of the schemes Of
" reconstruction" from time to time pressed
upon Congress. He thought it best to wal
till we had something to reconstruct, and mo-
be pledged beforehand to a particular course
that might not prove cxpedicnt in view o
unforeseen contingencies. To do to-day the worl
of to-day, and let the morrow dictate the ii
methods Of doing to-morrOw's work, such wa
the craftsmanship Of Abraham Lincoln.
If we rightly apprehend Gen Halleck's lat
order from Richmond, that also is grounded il
practical good sense. Every person in the Stat
is invited to come forward and take the oath o
allegiance prescribed by the Amnesty Proclama
ton, and to have the fact of his taking the oatl
duly recorded. This, in the case of 800 in.ever,
600, will be sufficient and final. But the Gov
eminent reserves the right of proceeding agains
those whom it deems fragrant offenders, es
pecially those who have robbed, starved 0
mastered our captured soldiers. Whoever
so prosecuted may of course plead and prove hi
having taken the oath as above; and that fac
will have such weight with the tribunal as
shall seem to deserve.
