In the Senate on the 9th the Stockton
case was under consideration. 1t will be re-
collected that Mr.. Stockton retained his seat
luton to strike his name from the list of vo-
tiers, upon the ground that he could not vote

amended was agreed to by a vote of % to

cant.

MEssRs EDIToRs:-I have hitherto been
a great admirer of VIM. A. Graham, and al
ways supported him when a candidate be-
fore the people. But when find him trying
to step out of the Rebel Congress at Rich
mond into the United States Senate at Wash
ington, begin to think that he is little
ambitious, or at least very anxious to obtain
seat in Congress which he attempted to
destroy forever
We all know that he voted, while in Rich
mond, men and money to carry on the war
against the government; and if, with the
money and men thus voted him, Gen. Lee
could have gained Arlington heights, his
cannon would have RACED every house to the
ground in Washington City-even the very
capitol which Mr. Graham now seeks to enter
as a representative of loyal North Carolina
And again, Gov. Graham has represented in
his published letter that all the people in
this State are truly loyal. He is greatly mis-
taken. For some of the members of the last
General Assembly, to whom he owed his cleo
ton, were so disloyal that they would not
appoint Enthusiastically loyal man"
magistrate.
For instance: In this County, Halifax,
there were some few of the old magistrates
that had the misfortune, Cor good fortune
to be called Union men, and they were
dropped from the list like hot potatoes =
And yet these gentlemen say they are loyal
to the very letter. Acts speak louder than
words.
There are a great many men in this Coun-
ty at this time that hate the Union it is,
with perfect hatred, and would rejoice to
see it torn up root and branch. They would
rather live under the Emperor of France
than President johnson. By the way I think
the President has been too lenient towards
leading rebels. He has pardoned too many,
and he will see it before twelve months 1
find some now, who were great deal more
loyal before they were pardoned.
Before L close these desultory remarks,
desire, Messrs. Editors, to ask the Preacher
Editor of the Sentinel to read a sermon by
Bishop Pierce, delivered in Nashville Tenn,
in memory of Bishop Capers, deceased in
1855. 1t will do him good, though he may
have read it before. He will find it in the
Methodist Pulpit South, page Sc.

The former collector of customs at Newbern,
N c., in reply to an invitation to return to the
government the amount of money he had on
hand when that State seeded, replies that the
money was deposited by him at the time with the
depository at Wilmington, and incloses his re-
ceipt for the amount, 81, OPS. The funds were af-
forwards confiscated by the rebel government
The reply does not satisfy Commissioner Sargent,
who has directed proceedings to be instituted for
the recovery of the money. Similar proceedings,
it is stated will at once be commenced against all
public officers in the South who at the commence
ment of the rebellion had government funds in
their possession, and failed to return them to the
Treasury Wilmington Dispatch.
