Civil Government i'm North
Carolina.

We are informed by our exchanges that
bill was introduced into the House of
the North Carolina Legislature, ON the
18th instant, to enable the State to re-
sumo its former relations as Constitu>
tional State of the American Republic.
After a lengthy preamble, the first sec
ton provides for holding a Convention at
Raleigh, on the 10th of May, 1867, TO
consist of one hundred and twenty citi-
zens as delegates to frame Con atitution
to be submitted to Congress for approval.
modification OF rejection.
The second section provides that all male
resident citizens, of twenty>one wears of
age, without distinction of race or color.
who can read or wriGe, or own one hundred
dollars, she'll vote; Provided, That no one
heretofore entitled to vote shall be disquali-
ed from voting in said election.
The third section provides that the dis
qualification for delegates to the Convention
shall be the same as required for the mem
bers of the House Of Commons, and the
oath to be administered shall be as follows;
That on the 4th of March, 1864, and at al
times thereafter, | would Willingly have
complied with the requirements of the Pro-
clamaton Of the United States issued on the
Sth day of December, 1868, had safe op-
portunty for 80 doing been afforded me,
that | was opposed to continuance Of the
rebellion and the establishment of the So
called Confederate Government, and volun-
tarily gave no aid or encouragement thereto,
but earnestly desired the suc cess of theUnon,
and that will heuceforth faithfully support
the Government of the United States of
America,
Section provides that the indge admin.
istering the oath, if he suspects any false
hood, may require other evidences. False
swearing is declared perjury.
Section provides for the opening of the
polls by the United Safes Marshal, who
shall appoint the Judges of the election.
Section provides compensation for the
Marshal and those whom he may appoint.
Section declares the present State Gov.
ernment of North Carolina void, and func-
tions of all the present State officers at an
end.
Section 8 gives the President power to
use the military and naval force to execute
this law.

plenary and irrefragible, of the suicidal
madness of secession
But the present troubles in South Car
oina and the adjoining States are The re
suit of condition of affairs existing IN
checked and unameliorated long before
the Rebellion. The public men of these
States, many years ago, began to teach
their inhabitants less Jns of contempt for
law and by their example more than
one eminent person there has inculcated
the doctrine OF personal vengeance, and
too proud to accept the protection of
courts of justice, or too passionate to await
their tardY process, has taken the law
into his own hands aud shot and stabbed
at his own savage will, not seldom with
impun'ty. When felony, no Sevar chiv>
ahous or however bedizened with fine
name, is fash enable among the upper
sort, what wonder is it that the contagion
of bad example Spreads and that the
lover orders give us sanguinary carl.
cature of the death~dealing exploits of
their social superiors We refer to these
things certainly not for the purpose of
Strengthening old prejudices, or of fan
ming the embers Of old hatreds; but we
would fain point out to the generally we'll
meaning although sometimes sorely mis-
taken men of the South, that the true
loyalty which it is now in their power to
display will be "A bright example to their
weaker brethrep, and will tend to make
their own lives more sacred, and their
property more secure in a State which
they love too well to abandon, md which
they would gladly see restored to order,
peace aud prosperity. 1t is easy to in,
dulge in factious COMPLAINT; it is not hard
to nurse nselsss and hopeless resentments;
1t Is momentary qualification to sneer at
authority, and to spit upon the statutes
but he vino does so in the States lately
In rebellion is destroying his own peace,
picking his own pocket, and filing the
bosoms of his own family with constant
fears and poisonous apprehensions. If
South Carolina desires to enforce her own
laws she must begin by inculcating a re-
spect for those of the United States
Her leading men little understand the
North if they suppose that there is any
desire to trample upon them-any wish
expect to see the errant State restored to
its true constitutional orbit, prosperous,
progressive and peaceful If we must
wait for this consummation, we will do so
hopefully and patiently, for the descend
ants OF the Huguenots must come right
at last, and the better mind of the State
in time assert itself.

In accordance-with this new programme
the Democrats have determined hot to
make iactious opposition, in Congress, to
the will Of the majority. OF course,
they are inspired hereto in having a hope
that the Republicans will so misuse tie
power with which they are clothed as to
create a distrust in their administrative
capacity, if not to" occasion a revolt on
the par. OF the more moderate among
them. To this end they have prevailed
on the President to agree to use the veto

whose vast internal doses enfeeble the

of which every box full taken creates an

of Representatives, instead of the Sec>
retary OF State as heretofore provided by
the Act of 1918, ond that upon the re,
ceipt by these two officers of official no.
tlce from three-fourths of the States that
an Amendment has been adopted. the
President of the Senate and the Speak
er OF the House of Representatives shall
forth With cause publication of the same
to be made in the newspaper authorized
by law to promulgate the laws, with their
joint certificate that such amendn ent or
amendments are valid to all intents and
purposes as part of the Con stitution of
the Uniied States.
Mr. Yates holds that three, fourths OF
the States represented in Congress are
competent to amend the Constitution and
that this view of the case necessarily fol-
lows the assumption that two-thirds of
their representatives in each House of
Congress are competent to propose an
amendment for ratification.
1t is well to know that the Admins
tration does not take this view of the
case, and hence the necessity according
to the radicals OF providing a new meth.
cd for its publication, if the amendment
now before the States should be ratified
by three>fourths of the loyal States. 1t
is believed that the discussion of this
bill will develop the views of Senators
upon the subject of annulling the State
governments which have been set up in
the South by the Executive, and the es-
tablishment Of territorial governments,
wherein all the people, without respect
to color, shall have voice.
The Suffrage bill passed by the House
on Friday, the 18th inst.
The House took up the Senate bill
providing for the Universal Suffrage in
this Distric, and without any amendment
adopted it precisely in the shape it was
