The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1866-02-14

Mr. Henry Of Berthe, urged the passage Of 1
bill aAd 6b3ecsef1f TO the le7ity with which 1t /
had been treated He hoped it would be /
discussed solely upon its ,merifs- As an of Il
set to what the gentleman from Sdrry had 4
said Of the action Of the House of Represen-
,tatiyes, postpening indefinitely the consider
| alton Of Houtharn claims. Mr.. Henry stated
that the Judiciary Committee had reported j
recently in the United States Senate, in favor \
of receiving and adjudicating such claims. /
Was North Carolina to stand back alone IN 4
her poyerty-strick pride, while other States
had their claims adjusted The creation OF
this agency would not add materially to the
burthenef Taxation and he for one would
be willing himself to pay his county's quota
of such taxation rather than such agency
should not be established. 5.s
Mr. Waugh again addressed the House,
| opposing the measure as wholly unnecessary,
adverted to the refusal Of Congress to mod |
| ,ify the test oath SO as to give our people or
binary mail facilities, and asked if it was not
notorious that the only test of loyalty was
sneezing simultaneously with Stanton, Sum
ner, and Wilson. He was not unwilling to
| the creation of IN agency to be sustained by
| voluntary contributions as suggested by the
gentlemen from BERTHE. AS we are regarded
| by the radicals as aliens and foreigners, we
| had better have Minister Plenipotentiary
| [Lauohter.l IF this agency is to be created,
| he should be in favor; Of providing that the
| salary shall be paid in State Treasury notes
| of DENOMINATION less than one dollar here
tofore issued Renewed laughter.
Mr.. Cameron said the gentleman from
Surry had set himself up as the wit of the
| House, and he had no idea Of competing for
| that honor. That gentleman had said, that
| his people were SO poor that the dogs were
leaving home, it was passing strange then,
| that he should oppose a little outlay that
would enable them to keep their dogs at
home and fatten them. The gentleman said
| that few of his people needed pardon under
| the $4,000 exemption. 1t would seem that
the wealthy only had the gentlemans sympa-
! thies. For his part he cared more for the
poor of the land. The resolution postponing
the consideration of claims from the South,
had passed but one branch of Congress. As
| to the Test Oath, he inferred from what had
been said, that there were persons in the gen.
tlemaI's section who could take it, and he
! had good reason to believe that State agent
could do much towards procuring the re
establishment of mail facilities. There were
numerous individual claims which could be
presented by no one so well as an accredited
State agent, conversant with the Department
and their modes of business. He had not
thought of it before, but he had perhaps q
claim of his own. Sherman's army had taken
every thing he had. They didn't leave him
meat enough to grease gimlet or meal
enough to bait bird-trap. Uaughter). He
would have been too poor to have fed his dogs,
if they hadn't killed them. They left him
| no clothes but those ON his back, and they
were out at the elbows right smart He had
been a consistent opponent of secession from
the very first, and this had been the usage he
had received. An intelligent agent at Wash
ington could materially aid our people in
prosecuting claims to a successful issue.
