Queen vietOria's speech.

The following are the principal passages
of interest in the Queens speech on the
Propagation of Parliament.
Her Majesty has great satisfactson in con-
graduating the country and the world at
large on the successful accomplishment of
the great design of connecting Europe and
America by the means Of an electric tele-
graph. 1t is hardly possible to anticipate
the full extent of the benefits which may be
conferred on the human race by the signal
triumph Of scientific enterprise; and Her
Majesty has pleasure in expressing her deep
sense Of what is due TO the private energy
which, in spite of repeated failure and dis
enlargement has at length, for the second
time, succeeded in establishing direct COM
munication between the two continents.
Her Majesty trusts that no impediment
may occur TO interrupt the success of this
notwithstanding; calculated asiti undoubt-
sdly to cement yet closer the ties which bind
Her Majesty's North American Colonies to
the mother country, and to promote the I'M
restricted intercourse and friendly feeling,
which it is most desirable should subsits be-
tween Her Maicsty's dominions, and the
great Republic of the United States.
A widespread reasonable conspiracy,
having for its object the subversion Of Her
Majesty's authority in Ireland, the confiSca-
ton of property, and the establishment of a
Republic, having its seat in Ireland, but de-
irving its principal support from natural
lied citizens Of foreign and friendly State,
compelled Her Majesty, at the commence
ment Of the present session, to assent to a
measure recommended by her representa-
tive in ireland, for the temporary suspen-
sion, in that part of Her Majesty's domin-
ions, Of the hdbeas corpus act.
That measure, firmly but temporarily act
ed on the Irish Executive, had the effect of
REFRESHING any outward manifestations of
reasonable intentions, and cause the with
drawal from Ireland of the greater portion
of those foreign agents, by whom the con-
spiracy was mainly fostered. The leaders,
however Of this movement were deferred
from prosecuting their criminal designs be-
yond the limits of Her Majesty's dOminions.
They even attempted, from the territories Of
the United States, an inroad upon the peace
ful subjects of Her Majesty in her North
American provinces. That attempted inroad,
however, only served to manifest in the
strongest manner, the loyalty and devotion
Of Her Majesty's subjects in those provinces,
who, without exception of creeds or origin,
united in defense of their sovereign and their
country.
It served also to show the good faith and
scrupulous attention to internal rights dis
played by the Government of the United
States, whose active interference by check
ing any attempt of an invasion Of a friendly
State, mainly contributed to protect Her
Maiesty's dominions against the evils of
predatory inroad

Wake Comfy Cont.

The term of Wake County Court held here
last week, was probably the most laborious
in the history of the County. Nearly the
entire term was consumed in considering
and disposing of indiesments er-oGsnees.nt
extending to life or limb. One white man
and several colored men were whipped for
stealing 1t is to be regretted there was no
authority to continue the Court another
week. If this could have done, the proba-
bility is that all the business would have
been transacted.
The Magistrates in attendance, the Special
Court, and the County Attorney, Mr.. Badger,
and the Sheriff and Clerk, deserve the
thanks of the County for the industrious
and able manner in which they discharged
their duties.
During the term, the Magistrates made an
order to establish County Workhouse. I'M

The Sentinel Of August 9Th contains the
following:
"The Sentinel shall continue to be firm
defender of law and order, warm supporter
of President Johnson's policy, and vehicle
OF the latest views. 1t soM oppose proscrip-
ton for opinions aken
And now Look ON That.
The Sentinel in subsequent issue to the
above says:
In view of such an antagonism, while we
would not seek to deprive Mr.. Goodloe of
any pecunlary emOlument or personal sue
cess. under ordinary circumstances, we really
think that it is his duty to retire from the
office OF Marshal for the District of North
Carolina"
And the Sentinel of s5th August says:
In North Carolina the President has
work to do. Every man in Office in the State.
civil or military, who is in favor of Radical
measures and opposed to the President,
should be removed at once. Many of them,
1t not most of them, are exceedingly hostile
to the President and to the patriotic princi-
! pies and purposes of the Philadelphia Con-
yention. Some of the delegates appointed
by the Washington County meeting to the
Traitors Convention to be held in Philadel-
Phia, in September, are ofice-holders under
the President in this State. Many of the
collectors and assessors, collectors of the Gus
toms, postmasters, and the District Marshal,
are hostile to the President and to the Con-
stitution as it is So are also officers of the
Freedmen's Bureau. They should be re-
moved, at once, and their places supplied
with trna mon RI tho rrovarp,nopf
The Sentinel has deceived its readers. In
its issue of the 9Th of August it promises to
oppose prescription for opinions sake"
and in its issue of the 25th of August it de-
mands the removal of every officer in this
State who does not endorse the Philadelphia
Convention.
High times, indeed, when Southern trait
ors like the Editors of the Sentinel and those
for whom they speak, demand of the Presi
dent that he remove men from office on ac-
count of what may be regarded, and only re-
garded as excessive loyalty!
The Sentineps conscience (?) was troubled
recently because certain Southern gentlemen
took the test oath in order to fill some of
these offices. If these gentlemen should be
removed, where will that paper find persons
to fill their places who can take the oath9
But it seems military" men, who will not
play the politician by taking sides with the
Philadelphia Convention, must be removed
also. The Sentinel wants secession Office
holders, secession Generals, and secession
troops. This will do for the present, but
that paper would be much better pleased if
it could have Mr.. Davis for President, Peter
Mallett for commandant of conscripts, and
Wheeler's cavalry in the field fighting for
"our beloved Confederacy."

We publish to-day an address by some Of
ficers of the army in relation to the proposed
Soldiers Convention at cleveland, on the
18th September. There are many respectable
names to this call, but there are thousands of
other army officers, and all the great names
such as Grant, Sherman, Logan, Thomas,
and Meade-are wanting.
These officers say the best" of the South
ern people were represented at Philadelphia,
This is not so. The " best" people in the
South are the Unionists, and they had no
representatives at Philadelphia. The worst
people we have in the South are unrepentant
secessionists and latter-day war men. These
were fully represented in the Convention re-
ferred to. If their deliberations should do
no good, we trust they may do no harm. IS

The Test Oath.

Our contemporary of the Newbern Times
says:
III the President and his party are going
to hold on to the test oath, as it is. the neo,
pie OF Tue south cannot understand what
good the Philadelphia Convention and the
like are going to do, or if they propose to
level all barriers and open the doors IF Con.
gress 10 all classes, they cannot conceive what
is to prevent continuation of the sectional
strife indefinitely. : ~ '''1oA''
On Tue other hand, if the Radicals are to
rule ana the test oath and the Howard
amendment are both to be enforced. it will
be death, alike to secessionists and Union
men in this country, for. practically the
doors, to large extent. will be closed aoa;nst
the South during the lifetime of the nresent
generation"
We happen to know that the President
and his party" do intend to hold ON to the
test oath. The President has said nothing
against this oath-the members of the cabi.
net seem to take it for granted that it will
not be repealed, and the Philadelphia Conven-
ton has substantially endorsed it. If the
Howard amendment should be adopted. the
present test oath will necessarily cease, for
the amendment referred to will supersede it
as constitutional test. Congress will then,
by two-thirds vote, permit such persons as
it may choose to hold Office, and will remove
the disability only with that view. That
body will do full justice to Southern Union
men. $500
If those politicians at Washington who
called the Philadelphia Convention are OPP
posed to the test oath, they did not have the
moral courage to advise the Convention to
take ground against it. They feared the eff
feet OF such course on the Northern cleo
lions. If that Convention had denounced
the test oath, and had recommended the adj
mission OF all the members elect to Congress
from the South just as they are, itsadvocates
and supporters could not have carried single
township in the Northern or Western States.
We do not say this with q view to defend the
justice or propriety of the oath, but to show
the strength of the so-called radicals.

HERRNGS SAFES IN THE LATE PORT
LAND CoNFLAGRATIoN.-T There is moral to
be drawn from one of the incidents of the
late disastrous fire in Portland, that should
be carefully considered by those who would
avoid danger that is all the more insidious
because we are apt to imagine ourselves Sc
cure from it. We refer to the test that has
been applied to the safes Of different manu-
features that were exposed to the terrible or
deal of fire there The word SAFE, which is
applied to the iron chests or boxes that are
manufactured by all makers, is only applic,,-
BILE, in reality, to such as have successfully
stood the test, and our advertising columns
show that the Herring Safe fairly sustains the
reputation it long ago acquired, of being
one ofthe most perfect ire-proofs yet made.
After seeing the reports of the great losses of
vauables contained in other safes, we were
led to inquire why people should be so blind
to their own interests as to trust their treas
ures in such insecure repositories, when 9TH
ers that had been proved and tried in hun
dreds of fires, could be had and we were in
formed that in this, as in many other matters,
people forget the. motto. THE best is the
cheapest" and that one cause of the great
loss in this instance was, that the Portland
merchants had purchased safes manufactured
in the East that were cheaper than Herring
could afford to sell his for. We should as
soon trust our funds to street broker, who
might offer large interest. than the more
cautious and wellknownnelghboring banker,
as put our valuables in an iron box that will
not stand the test of fire; and having expert
enced the satisfaction of owning one of Her.
rings make, we the more cheerfully recon-
mend them to our friends-S Scottish Ameri-

Gov Cox, OF OH1o-A Columbus (Ohio)
correspondent of the New York Tribune
says:
A large and enthusiastic Union meeting
was held here this afternoon, which was adj
dressed by Gov. Cox, Congressman Shella-
barger, and private soldier named Scott.
The Governor gave his approval of the Cen
gressional plan of reconstruction, and said
that he could see no material difference be-
tween it and that proposed by President
johnson soon after his Inauguration, and
he was willing to confess to at least surprise
that the President did not congratulate Com
gress and the people, at the close ofthe session,
upon the substantial harmony ofpolicy
which had been the result of such long de-
alterations He regarded the Philadelphia
Convention simply as an effort to destroy the
Republican Union party.
