The North.CaroIinaD Delegation.

Gov. Worth's North Carolina delegation,
including himself, Chief-Justice Ruffin, Elk
Gov. Swain and Hon Nat. Boyden, had in
terviews with the President and the Attor1
ney-General to-day regarding the subject of
Gen. Sickles' recent order in the Carolinas,
prohibiting corporal punishment. The laws
of North Carolina, as well known, provide
for the punishment of larceny, perjury and
bigamy by public whipping and there
being no Penitentiary in the State, and the
law being applicable not only to men and
women, but to offenders of every race and
color, the delegation were instructed to
come here for the purpose of influencing the
authorities to rescind the order. They ex-
press themselves satisfied with the result of
their interviews, and hope from the intma-
tions they have received that the object will
soon be accomplished. Incidentally the dele
CATION will undoubtedly do something to-
ward counteracting the efforts of ExGov-
Holden and his friends, who were here few
days since with the original draft ofthe North
Carolina Enabling Act, presented to the
House by MIR. Stevens, and urging its pas
sage. Gov. Worth has been peculiarly for
tunate in the selection of men for his delega-
tion who are entitled, from their war records
to a hearing before Congress, they one and
all having been conservative men, particularly
Mr. Boyden, than whom no man in the State
is more thoroughly hated by the fire eating
rebels. Judge Rutfin. formerly a law partner
of Lieut.-Ge Scott and a member of the
Peace Congress of 1861, is a venerable gentle
man over 80 years of age. and with Ex-Gov-
Swain, enjoys the reputation of being a
moderate and conservative politician, al
though they are both opposed to the Con-
stitutional Amendment. 1t is questionable
whether Mr.. Boyden will join the delegates
in this effort to oppose the Holden bill
Washington Correspondence NeO York Times.
We publish the above for what it is worth
Our readers will perceive that there are many
mistakes in it. The reference to the WAR
records of Messrs. Ruffin and Swain is a
cutting stroke of irony. There were no two
more desperate war men in the State than
they were. Mr.. Boyden was a good Union
man, and we trust he is so yet; but he is not
so thoroughly hated" as is supposed "by
the e-eating rebels" This IS proved by the
fact of his association in Washington with
such & fre-eating rebel' as Judge Ruffin.-
Besides, We regret to say that he did not i'm
prove his Union record by his attendance on
the Philadelphia Convention.

| The Sentinel the rebel organ of Gov. Worth +,
speaks of C the insolence of the Standards"
because the Standard utters and maintains
loyal principles, and suggests that the Sen
ior Editor of the Standard be summoned be-
fore committee Of the Legislature to give
testimony in relation to the persecution of
Union men in this State. He says:
Now as W. w. Holden has been the
chief maker and ventilatOr of these SANDER
Gus charges, we suggest that the committee
summon the aforesaid Mr.. Holden before it.
Give him an opportunity on oath, to make
good his charges, or to stand forth before
the world. as the ibeller of his own people"
We have uttered no ISLANDERS. There are
thousands upon thousands of loyal persons
in the State, who sustain US in what we have
said on this subject. The very foundation
stone of the present rebel organization in
this State is, that those who abandoned the
Confederacy, or who struggled for peace dur
ing the war, are cowardly traitors unworthy
of office, position, respect. This is what
the Sentinel and all the other rebel papers
in the State have constantly said; and this
being their tone, and the tone of the admin
istration of Gov. Worth, observed in all his
appointments, it follows inevitably that I'm
ionists are banned, prescribed, and persecu-
ted.
But we are to be summoned before the
committee. Try it, and see if we obey the
summons. We are a free citizen of the Uni
ted States. We are not to be dragged or
ordered before any committee, or any tribu-
nal, to crafty the malice of such as the Edi-
tor sof the Sentinel.
The insolence of the St0ndGrd' indeed!
Why, it is insolence in either of the Editors
of the Sentinel to attempt even to inform or
instruct our people as to their duty. Their
duty is to take back seats, and to put their
hands on their mouths. They ought not to
be allowed to vote, much less aspire to the
position of enlighteners and directors of the
public mind. They not fit to govern
either themselves or others.

Beware !!

We learn that a plan is on foot to give the
control of the n. c. Railroad and Western
n c. Railroad to the cliques who hold them
at present, forever. The States interest is
to be placed in their hands, without a voice
to demonstrate against bad management, or
monopoly, by giving the stockholders ttoo
directors to every one appointed by the
Safe This is to be done at once, and ire
vocably.
The State owns two-thirds of these roads.
and is entitled to full representation for ev-
ery cent of stock which she has subscribed.
If this thing be done, and the argument
used is that the State has always managed
her interest badly, what guarantee have we
that bad management on the part of stock
holders can ever be checked9 If the charters
are to be thus amended, let it be so done that
the State may resume her rights whenever she
desires to do so.
We warn Legislators to beware of this
partizan scheme, which may grow into a
huge and dangerous monopoly.

The Sentinel and other rebel papers are
falsely. assuming that Mr.. Stevens bill pro-
poses to reduce North Carolina to Terri
torial condition. The Sentinel refuses to
publish the bill, so as to be able to propa'
gate this lie with the greater effect The
proposition simply is to re-organize the
State so as to restore it to the Union, and the
present de .tiacto government is to continue
until the proposed reorganization is effected.
This is the whole truth of the matter, as Is
proved by the bill itself

Corporal Punishment.

Mr.. Wilson, Of Massachusetts, has offered
a Joint resolution directing the President to
instruct officers of the army and navy and OF
the freedmen's bureau to prevent and pro-
bibit the infection of corporal punishment
for crimes and msdemeanors in the lately
rebellious States until their civil governments
shall have been recognized and ratified by
Congress. Ordered to be printed.
This resolution, if passed, will at once set
tie this vexed question.

We had the pleasure of seeing Gen. Dock
cry in the City yesterday, in good health and
spirits.
Gen. D. requests us to say that the Wash
iugton star is mistaken in assuming that he
had endorsed Mr.. Stevens bill. He could
not endorse that about which he was not con-
suited.
Gen. D. is enthusiastically devoted to
the Union as he ever was. and is most anxious
for its speedy restoration, and will take any
proper plan to effect that result

The North.Carolina Enabling Act.

In the House. ON the 10Th, Mr.. Stevens cal
led up a bill reported from the committee on
reconstruction, at the last session, providing
the conditions on which the Southern States
may be reatlmitted. He offered some amend
ments. This bill now stands as tile first spe-
ciaI order.
The meaning of this no doubt is, that Mr..
Stevens has offered tine North-Carolina ena-
bling bill as an amendment to his own bill,
introduced at the last session. This bill,
therefore, has precedence. We trust it will
be speedily considered and passed.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives of
the U. s., IN Congress assembled:

the u. s., an Congress assembled:
PREAMBLE.
WHEREAS, We the loyal people of Yves.
tern North Carolina, embracing the monn-
tain section of the State, have lost all hone
at the hands of those controlling civil DOVER
| and the internal affairs of this State in ia
king proper steps to restore us to the Union;
and,
WHEREAS, Owing to the persistent disaf-
lection OF the inst gators and propagators
of the rebellion and the influence they wie}d
it seems incompatible for us to be heard
through our Representatives elect to Con-
gress and,
WHEREAS, We desire, and are anxious to
accept of the acise and prudent plan of Con-
gress, and of being speedily and permanent
ly restored to the Union, and to be relieved
of the ban of secession, and from our present
suspense, and deplorable connition; We
therefore present the following
PETITION.
We, the undersigned citizens of Western
NOrth-Carolina, mos; earnestly pray your
Honorable Body to grant, or enforce one of
the following modes of reconstruction, to
wit
First: To grant the loyal people the priv
ilege and power of forming a new State, to
be composed of sufficient number of coun-
Tics Ol Tie w est enll OI the Otate, containing
the requisite amount of population; the
boundary line to be fixed by Convention,
chosen by the loyal people within the said
section {: That Congress order the call of q
Convention, to be held in the same for the
purpose of forming a State Government ha-
sed on loyalty to the General Government,
prescribing that loyal cotes only shall be Civ
en-, or counted, in forming the new State
Government, and in electing Representatives
to Congress That the discrimination as to
the test of loyalty be made by your Honora-
BILE Body, with due reference to our location
and condition during the rebellion, and the
character of loyalty since.
Second: If the above proposition be con-
sidered impracticable, or incompatible, then,
that the whole State be reorganized on the
same basis as proposed for the new. While
we will bow with respect in obedience to
your decision, much prefering the first, we
plead with your Honorable Body, in the
name of loyalty, to extend to US speedy relief
from orr present down trodden and helpless
condition.
