widow several rides in bis buggy, to church ana

conclude to marry some day, and, if he did, he
thought she would be the woman. Upon this
hint she acted, purchasing wedding dress, and
consulted few particular female friends in re-

the judiciary, reported bill to regulate the
time and manner Of holding elections tor Sena-
tors in Congress. 1t provides
First That the Legislature of any State
next preceding the expiration Of a senatorial
term shall elect on the second Tuesday, Of it's
session successor of the retiring Senator. The
voting shall be RIGA uoce, and the name Of
person receiving majority of the votes cast in
each House shall be entered upon the journal of
each House, and joint meeting of the Houses
shah be convened at IL o'clock the following
day, and if the same person is found to have re-
ccived majority. he shall be declared elected;
but if the same person shall not have received a
ma ority of the votes Of both Houses, or if either
House shall have failed to take proceedings as
required, the joint assembly shall proceed to-
choose uiUn Uoce and the person receiving
majority of votes, all the members being present
ard voting, shall be declared duly elected

Third That the Governor shall certify such
election, and the Secretary of State couotersi en-
the certificate, with the President o. the Senate
Es.y@ The census contains some facts not very
complimentary to the righteous Purtans. Mas
sschnsetts, with population but little less than
Illinois, has about six times many paupers
and more than ten times many criminals -
Georgia, with = population about the same as
Massachusetts, has about one fifteenth as many
paupers and one-trentieth many criminals
Taken together, the average pauperi.m ard
crime in New England about eight times
greater than in any other equal portion of the
population of the country What the Puritans
lack 10 these respects they make up in preten-
sion. With eight times more paupers ADD
criminals proportionally than the rest of the
country, they pretend to about eight times
more virtue than the remainder Of the human
race.

MISTAKE OF NOT MUCH IMPORTANCE.-At
the late Commencement of the n c. University
the degree of Doctor of Laws conferred on
Andrew johnson. President of the United States.
But it SO happens that the President is not pro-
fessonal lawyer, never has been, and probably
never will be. notwithstanding our University has
prociaimed him master of the profession. Mis-
takes will happen in the best regulated families"
We presume the Chapel Hill Faculty took it
for granted that Andrew Johnson certainly a
lawyer. inasmuch as he has hefd all the prominent
offices within the gift of the people. forgetting
that sometimes common men smart as
lawyers if not as cunning. Bat the old sign
board once used by the President and inscribed
"A johnson, Tailor" can be found, suggest
that L. l.. ID. DO added. in accordance with the
decree of the University of North Carolina.
--
II A correspondent of the Wilmington Jour
nal writing from Johnston county, proposes the
following ticket:
For Governor, Gen. Matthew W. Ransom,
For Lieut. Governor. Gen. Robt. B. Vance.
We learn that Gen. Ransom will not be
didate.
The Charlotte Democrat says plot of incen
diarisrn had been discovered among the. negroes,
and several arrests made Exchange Paper.
We find the above paragraph in some of our ex-
changes, and we copy It for the purpose of say
ing that no such information promulg gated by
the Charlotte Democrat Some weeks ago we
stated that three or four mean white men and pe
groes had been arrested on the charge of incen-
diur<m. bat we never heard Of any plot among
negroes Of that sort. In fact, in justice TO our
colurcd population. can say that with but
few e1cepti"n~) they have behaved remarkably
wrll-much better than the same class of persons
have behaved in other towns as large as Char
lotte. We believe that the influence of the lead
ing colored men of this place has been used for
good. and on that account the whites have had
no conflicts with the negroes in this immediate
section. 1t j. true that some lounge about and
idle away time. and some stcal,~-f"r the latter
uiIrnce several have been whppcd,-hut, as a
general thing. the colored people of this town
lave behaved themselves in n proper manner.
And wherever their department has been CORRECT
they have found true friends among the southern
white men.
