The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1866-10-06

As sure as the sun rises and SETS the time
is rapidly approaching when these Southern
States, should they choose to do so, can
leave this Union and set up a Confederacy
without let or hindrance If united North
and an unlimited means were barely able to
compel of them in the late war return to
their allegiance to the government, could
there be a shadow of doubt of success in
revolt when those who battled together for
the Union are now as irreconcilably disu-
nited as were the houses of York and Ian
caster, and when the almighty greenback,
in consequence of it, shall become as worth
less as was Confederate bill Just previous
to the surrender of johnson ! Williamson
Erpositor.
The above is from newspaper published
in Martin County, in this State. The Ed
itor Of this paper, Abner s. Williams, is a
candidate for tine House of Commons in
Martin. If the people of that County should
elect him, it will then be known that they
approve of the above. If they do approve
it, they are not fit to be restored to the
Union. Persons who hold such opinions
should not only be excluded from office, but
they ought not to be allowed to vote.

Wake Superior Court.

On Thursday the case of the State es.
Charles johnson and Richard Putney was
tried. The charge was highway robbery,
committed on Sol. Greason, of Alamance
County, in February last. Mr.. Attorney
General Rogers for the State, and Messrs.
E. G. Haywood and r. C. Badger for John
son, and Messrs. Badham and Busbee for
Putney. The Attorney General entered a
mol pros. as to Putney, and Johnson only was
tried. The Jury, after being out short
time, returned verdict of guilty.
The speech of Mr. Haywood in defence of
the prisoner was characterized by much
learning and ability. We understand an
appeal has been taken in this case to the
Supreme Court.
The Court was engaged on Friday in try
ing Rufus and James Hodge for the alleged
murder of John Sturdivant. The Attorney
General, On account of relationship to the
prisoners, did not appear, and w. S. Ma
son, Esq, assisted by Hon. Thos. Bragg
and E. G. Haywood, Esq, appeared for the
State. Messrs. B. F. Moore, S. F. Phil
lips, and R. H. Battle, Jr., for the pris-
oners.
Judge Merrimon is acquitting himself in
the best manner. With such Judges on our
bench it will not be long before crime will
be greatly diminished, and society restored
to the healthy tone which existed previously
to the war

The Howard Amendment.

| We publish to day, (without endorsing
any reflections he makes on the President,)
the speech of Hon. John Sherman, recently
delivered in Cincinnati, on the Howard
amendment. Let our readers ponder what
Mr.. Sherman says.
| The last Sentinel contains the following
"a WORD TO THE PEoPLE-There is great
danger that there may be Candidates for the
Legislature in some of the Counties, who
profess to be personally opposed to the (How-
ardD Constitutional amendment, but who
might be induced, alnder certain eireunn-
stances," to vote for it in the Legislature
This is vital question. The Legislature will
| be called upon to vote for or against it at the
next session. Should the Northern elections
| be favorable to it, some men, who now seem
to be sound on the subject, but who are
| known to be timid tender men, could be
persuaded to vote for it. Such men aoiU not
do to be trusted at time like this. No man
should be voted for who will vote for it under
| 0ny circumstances, unless upon the positive in
| structions of his constituents fairly obtain
| ed, and, even then, not unless his own judg-
ment fully endorses those instructions COM
| ing from the great portion of an intelligent
constituency. 1t is not an ordinary matter.
1t proposes vital and dangerous change ofthe
Constitution, which should be well pondered
before voting for it, and then not because a
majority of the Northern people vote for it,
but because the people of the South believe
it to be right, or just, or best for the South
and for the Union"
We take it for granted from the above,
that the Howard amendment will not, in
any event, be accepted by the people of
North Carohna. The Sentinel speaks for
Gov. Worth and for a powerful faction in
this State. There is no hope, then, for
the proposed amendment, unless it should be
adopted By South Carolina. This may be
probable as South Carolina is more subdued
to-day, and better fitted to return to the
Union than those who now control the des-
TIMES of this State
Very we'll, gentlemen. We have done our
duty. We call on all men to bear witness that
zoe are true to the Union of our ia theirs,
and that our skirts are clear of the awful
fate which hangs over this people

Good Advice to the South.

The Hon. John Forsyth, writing from New
York to the Mobile Register,- says of Pensyl-
vania, over which he has recently been tray
Cling
"You ride over country dotted with
farms, groaning under crops, and are sur
prised at the lack of laborers, and wonder
who does all this work Capital and sci
ence have supplied the places of our large
gangs of negroes, and the work goes on as if
by magic. Thus Pennsylvania, with her three
millions of population, enjoys productions
equal to the labor six millions. The same
processes would make the South garden of
fruitfulness, the abode of great population,
and the seat of power We have all that
Pennsylvania has, in coal, iron and WATERPROOF
er, without her harsh winter climate. We
have products impossible to her soil. The
war has hewna pathway for Southern ener-
gies in a new direction. Let US follow it,
encourage men of labor and skill to settle
among US, capital to export our latent re-
sources and train and elevate the negro, to
be able to do his part Of the grand work of
closing the gap of civilization, which our
hearty Northern neighbozs have for so long
kept wide open betweeR as. By this path,
too, men of the South, we are to recover the
political power to make our rights respected
and sure

Reduction in Price of the American

Reduction in Price of the American
Watches,
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS.
In consequence of the recent great improve
ments in our facilities for manufacturing we have
reduced our prices to as low point as they can
be placed,
WITH GOLD AT PAR,
so that no one need hesitate to buy watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
More than 200 200 Watches
have.givcn our productions the very highest rank
among time-keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value
until for months together, we have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in saying that we now
make more than one-half Of all the matches soil in
the United States. The different grades are dis
tinguished by the following trademarks on the

authorize us to state that without distinction of
ade-marks or price,
AL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY

to be the best time-keepers of their class ever
made in this any other country. Buyers
should remember that unlike the guarantee of a
foreign maker who never be reached, this
guarantee is good at all times against the Com
pavy or their agents, and that if after the most
thorough trial, any watch should prove defective
in any particular, it may be always exchanged for
another. As the American Watches, made at
Waltham, Mass, are for sale by dealers generally
throughout the country, we do not solicit orders
for single watches.

only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
