The North Carolina commissioners,
we learn from the Washington pa
pers, had long interview wi&h Pre-
sldent johnson on Wednesday, who
communicated to them his decision,
both IN regard to the order of Gene
raj Sickles, and to the interference of
the officer Of the Freedmen's Bureau,
III annulllng articles of indenture in
numerous cases where colored chill
dren had been bound out.
On both points the President de-
cided that the officers were in error
II interfering Secretary Stanton
issued instructions to General Sic
kles, directing him to rescind his
orders prohibiting the execution of
judicial orders inficting corporeal
punishment. These instructions were
delivered to Governor Worth, to be
handed to Gen. Sickles
General Howard also issued and
delivered to Governor Worth, orders
to his subordinate officers to cease
any interference with the laws of
North Carolina, when they bear
equally upon the whites and blacks.
Judge Ruffin explained fully to
General Howard the character of the
law for binding out children. If Or
phans are without any property for
their support, they are bound out by
order of the court; but children hav-
ing parents living, cannot be appren-
tlced except by the parents them
selves. With this explanation, Gen.
Howard did not hesitate to issue the
orders desired by the North Carolina
commissioners, who left Wednesday
evening for home

THE PROPOSED SOUTHERN TERRIFIC
RIAL B1LL.-A Washington cores
pondent OF the New York Herald
writes rs follows:
ct is confidently asserted by
Southern men that the Territorial
bill now before Congress will never
be enforced by the President, if it
should be passed. Not one of them
believe in the right of Congress, or
any other body or power, to destroy
q sovereignty. This is the ground
assumed by the President; hence the
confidence of the people interested. "

he had heard say that Lincoln was
usurper, and met his dues, and that Booth,
when the people obtained their rights,
would be rcvered as q patriot.
Mr.. billiard, of Albcrmarle, objected to
the resolutions, and asked If they had
come as sheep to the slaughter Had they
come to make laws for the south? and were
they to attempt to force upon the south
what she does not want lie had come for

M strong Republican party. If they

the door to immediate evils. lie would
admonish the Convention TO attend to the
business for which they had come together,
and not take measures towards giving the
right of franchise to people the votes of
whom could be secured at any time by the
nse of two barrels of liquor.
Mr.. Clements, of Portsmouth, moved that
the first resolution, relating to suffrage, he
laid on the table. Lost.
Mr.. Gibbons offered the following sub
Stitutc for the first resolution:
Resolrcd, That we endorse the action Of
the Congress of the United States in rem
dcring treason odious and traitors infamous,
so far as it has gone that 1t Is the sense OF
this Convention that no person should here
after be capable of holding any Office, lc-

18th of April, 1861, without taking the fol-
lowing oath in addition to the one now re-

Mr.. Gibbons said that the time for giving
the negroes the right of suffrage had not
arrived, and that this Convention would by
these resolutions slip beyond Congress.
Mr.. Tucker, of Alexandria, argued that
the elective franchise should in justice be
given to the negroes, and that there was
not better way in which to punish the
rebels than to make the colored men their
equals.
Mr.. Pollack, of Frederick, objected to
the resolutions because they were of the
"milk and water" kind, and expressed
himself as a friend to Congress. The
rebels should be deprived entirely of the
right of suffrage.
The resolutions, after revision, were
adopted by So yeas to % nays.

PROSPECTS OF A EUROPEAN WAR.-Our
last advices from Germany indicate that
the tcud between Prussia and Austria is
deepening in intensity, and that nothing
short of the Intervention of the other Eu-
ropean Powers can prevent the breaking
out of hostilities both in Germany and
Italy. The policy of Count Bismarck is
now, for the first time, making itself APP
parent. Austria is beset on all sides, and,
in the extremity in which she is placed,
must either fight her way out of the diff
ficulties by which she issurrounded or sue
cumb to the demands of Prussia, and thus
