Holden SAYS that not more than forty of
the new Legislature will accept the Howard
amendment. We doubt if twenty would =
Petersburg Indsr.
Well, what of it2 What is it to Holden
It bans him. It says he shall hold no Office
until relieved by two-thirds of Congress-
Yet, forgetting himself, he advocated it to
save his State from further and harder con-
ditions. When those further and harder
conditions are imposed do not blame Holden
for it. His skirts are clear
We are not the man you take US for, Mr..
Inder. We have seen this people terror
stricken once, pleading for mercy. We did
all we could then, forgetting ourself, to aid
and relieve them. We want no more such
trials. Poor old Virginia i-furrowed by
the bomb-shells of hundred battles, sit
ting in grief and poverty above the graves of
her mighty dead -itis notin our heart to wish
to see her suffer any more. But she will, if she
reject this amendment, as the indications are
she will Is it possible you hate us, because
we warn you of approaching evil, and beg
you to escape it2
What is the proposed amendment to us
individuality If there ever was true Union
man in the South the writer of this is one.
He suffered all kinds of persecution and OBJ
loquy during the rebellion, on account of his
Union principles. But he had at one time
taken the oath as member of the Legisla-
ture, Gn 1s46) to support the Constitution of
the United States, and afterwards involunta-
rily engaged in the rebellion. But Congress
will relieve him, you say. Well, suppose it
should, that could only render him the more
odious in the South Men who have never ia.
ken that oath, but who are covered to the
arm-pits with blood, shed in fighting the
Union armies, would be placed in all the Of
fees: and then, as now, the Union men of
the South would be governed and trodden
down by unrepentant rebels. This is what
the proposed amendment offers to the Union
,uen of Virginia and North Carolina. Think
you they desire it on its merits, so far as it
is applicable to themselves? No. They
feel they are banned unjustly by it, and that
the very reliefwhich the Congress may extend
to them would render them still more odious
to the Southern people. They are for it only
because they love their country, and are pre-
pared to forget themselves to save their coun-
try That is the secret, and the whole secret
of their willingness to accept the proposed
amendment
These are the views of Mr. Bolts, of the
Senior Editor of this paper, and, in our opin-
ion, of the great body of the Southern
Union;sts.

A Compliment.

The Sentinel of Saturday last contains the
following:
Is 1T TRUE 1--WE have expressed the be-
lief, heretofore, that Ex-Gov Holden was not
serving the Radical policy for naught No
one can think for moment, that. at heart,
he sanctions Radical measures or the How
ard amendment, as fair, just and proper
measures for North Carolina We have heard
it several times limited that he has in pros
pect no small pay as the result of his labors
in the Radical cause. Since the election we
have heard it distinctly stated that he anti
cipates position on the next Radical ticket
for the Presidency, as the candidate for Vice
President. If it be true that he experts such
thing which we very much doubt, we pre-
dict he will be as much disappointed as he
was about San Salvador"
Our cotemporary is disposed to be compli-
mental. At least, we regard the above as
complimentary. Abraham Lincoln was a
Radical, Andrew johnson is Radical, Gen.
Grant is Radical, when compared with the
Sentinel and its friends. The Vice Presiden-
cy is an august position. We have no as
pirations, and could have no hopes in rela-
ton to it. 1t seems impossible for the Sen
tinel to attribute other than selfish motives to
its opponents All its friends are paragons
of unselfshness and public virtue. Nothing
like selfshness or ambition ever mingles with
their dreams They are pure and unde6led.
But Others are always on the hunt for office.
They can neither espouse nor oppose pub
lie measure without suhjecting themselves to
the imputatioD of being governed by corrupt
or selfish motives. This is strange, but true.
How will our neighbors account for it2
By the way, "is it true" that our neigh
bors are looking to the revival of the Con-
federacy, with the hope that the Senior will
be Chaplain to the Senate, and that the Ju-
nior will be nominated on the ticket for the
Vice Presidency in the next contest, in place
of Mr.. Stephens "Is it true" that these
gentlemen are not serving the Confederate
policy for naught 2"

It is understood that the commissioners in

tomorrow, but will, through their counsel,
file response denying the power ofthe Gov
ernor to try the charges. but at the same time
declaring their readiness to meet the accusa-
tions before any court of competent jurisdic-
ton. The commissioners have entertained
no proposition looking to any compromise,
but declare their determination of resisting
any encroachment upon their functions

Affairs i'm baltimore.

Ihe excitement IN Baltimore Is represented
as very great, growing out of the attempt of
Gov. Swami to remove the Police Com
missioners of that City. The following is
from the Washington Chronicle:
BALTIMORE, October 21.-The bold stand of
the UniOnists of Baltimore in opposition to the
plans of the rebels is producing its natural fruits
:. The Mayor stands firm in supporting the po-
lice commissioners in refusing the orders of Gov.
Swami.
The whole staff of Swami have resigned and ta-
ken sides with the Radicals.
Generals kenly, Denison and WoOley have re-
ported for duty to the Mayor.
Eight hundred policemen and three thousand
Boys in Blue" are in arms and ready.
Last night the Union men met in their respect
I've wards and organized for instant action.
1t seems to be understood that Governor Swami
has changed his position and will not probably
attempt to remove the police commissioners.
The commissioners have refused to answer his
summons to Annapolis tomorrow, and will an
swer by counsel.
Swami did not get much satisfaction from
President johnson, whom he called to see yester-
day at Washington.
The President came here this morning, osten-
sibly to attend the Catholic ceremonies but real
ly to consult Swami.
1t seems to be more than probable that
conflict OF arms will be averted.
1t is charged that Gov Swami is anxious
to be elected to the q. S. Senate, and he
knows he cannot succeed unless he can OBJ
tain control of Baltimore by perversion of
the registry law. Baltimore elects some
twenty members Of the Legislature. The
object is to elect these, not by Unionists, but
by sympathizers with the rebellion. 1t seems
to be the settled purpose of the Destructives
to utterly ruin the country. We trust the
Union men of Baltimore will stand firm.
The President, OH the 18th instant, par
doned George v. Strong, of fGoldsboro.-Sen-
tinel.
Will the Sentinel tell us why Gov. Graham
is not pardoned9 Ten months have elapsed
since the Provisional Governor retired from
Office. Who is to blame now for the nom
pardon of Gov. Graham? Oh how the Senti-
mel would curse Andrew johnson, if it only
dared to do it'll
The Memphis Post is mistaken in assum-
ing that the Standard has any sympathy
with the copperhead Democratic party North,
or that it has proposed or desires to revive
the Democratic party of North Carolina
The old Wing and the old Democratic par
ties went to pieces with the rebellion. The
former was broken up by geographical issues,
and the organization of the latter was per-
verted and used to promote secession and in
volve the country in civil war. The Senior
Editor of this paper was once Democrat,
and he still holds the great Democratic prin-
ciple of the right Of the people to rule, but
he resisted he movement thus to pervert and
use the Democratic party, as Andrew john
son did; and he has been SINCE as he is now,
a National Union man.

requested to proceed at once to the North and
purchase such machinery as is required to

We trust the entire stock in this Company
may at once be subscribed It can not fail
to be profitable, while the establishment will
add greatly to the prosperity of this commu
nifty. No man could be more competent
THAI. Mr. Willard to conduct the operations

The Washington correspondent of I'll

The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Examiner says:
"The President was told the other day, by
one of the most eminent of the Conservative
Republican Senators. that he would be i'm
peached and removed. That nothing, at
his command could now prevent it. The
President could not see it. He talks politics
freely with all comers, who are chiefly Office
beggars and sycophants, and are interested
in deceiving him. His reliance upon the
people" is still his leading characteristic, and
the people are against him, except those
whose support ear do him no good"
The President will not get the truth from
office-beggars and sycophants.'
The EYE AND EAR.-Those who are suffering
from deafness or diseases of the Eye should avail
themselves of the opportunity now offered for
obtaining relief by consulting Dr. Gardner, form
