NoTIcE.--Gen. Wood, commander
of the Department of Alabama, has
notified Raphael Semms, who was a
few weeks ago elected probate Judge
for the city of Mobile, that he will
not be allowed to exercise the func-
tons of Judge until he gets himself
pardoned. Mr.. Semms was the com
mander of the Confederate Steamer
Alabama, during the war, and did
great damage to our commerce.

"TREAsoN" IN MARYLAYD.-A ter
rible insurrection has broken out in
the loyal camp, in the State of Mary
land. Governor Swan, has fired upon
the political Fort-"Loyalty"-and
Lieut.. Gov. Cox, Congressman Phelps,
and the Collector Of the Port, and
Post Master Purnell, of Baltimore,
have fred shots in quick succession,
at the same citadel, and It is supposed
that the whole State will surrender
before the fourth of July, to these
new traitors, under the lead Of tho
Johnsons'. The "Plugs" and "Rips'
of Baltimore have set up tremen-
dous howl because they see power
and patronage passing from their
hands. Why don't the Winter Da-
visites call for Massachusetts, bayon-
cts to help them, as they did in 1861.

AMENDED.-The 'Infernap' Reyen
lie law has been amended, in the
House, so that in the future, Incomes
under $1,000 will be exempt from
taxation. Those above $1,000 and
under $4,000 must pay five per cent,
and all above $4,000, ten per cent.
We fear the government will never
realize much support from us, under
this bill, as our income is likely to be
under 81 900, but if it needs any ply
steal help to "coerce" the "traitors''
at the other end of the line, into its
support, we can be counted in.

The conduct Of tho Rump Congress

and meets with deserved contempt
A bounty bill has been before that
body for over two years, granting
either land or money to those who
volunteered in 1SGl-2, making their
bounty equal to that given to soldiers
in 1861 One pretext after anoth-
or, is adopted TO stavc off the bill, and
prevent its passage. 1t is alleged
that it would take too much money
out of the now scant Treasury, or,
that the lands are not surveyed. This
sounds like economy and justice, bat
when We reflect, and finally learn,
that for the past year, that body has
spent all its time and money upon
the NEGRO, it looks more like ras-
cality than anything else. If we ac-
cept the plea Of economy, why was
the Negro Bureau Bill passed, and
that over the Presidents veto too?
under which Twenty-Five millions of
dollars were to be lavished upon the
lazy Negro; or, if so much Of their
precious time is taken up in devising
means TO raise revenue to sustain the
government, that they cannot attend
to the wants of the soldier, why can
the members wrangle for two months
over the Negro Rights bill? Were
not those men elected by ,1hite pco-

still be necessary to perform in con-
nection with the freedmen, is equally
applicable to North Carolina.

may begin to get rid of some of the madmen who

1t is pretty well understood that the Republicans
in Congress cannot be unit on the proposed
amendment to the Constitution limiting represen-
tatlon to such races in every State as are admitted
to full equality in the elective franchise 1t is
thought very doubtful therefore whether this
amendment will be adopted by the necessary uum-
