The Howard Amendment Common
Plan.

We never discuss Federal politics in these
columns, without disposition to apologize
to our readers. We feel as they do, great
concern in all matters relating to the poll
tical prospects of the country, for not only
our material interests. but our social vel
fare are Immediately involved in the issue !;
but VIC know how useless and unnecessary
such discussions are. Our own people are
quite or nearly unanimous in their support
of the President, and by their conduct as
citizens, give the best evidence of the JUS
tice and propriety OF his policy of restora-
ton. Nevertheless, we have o fractional
party i'll this State who do not sustain the
President, but are urging the adoption of
the Howard amendment, and otherwise aid
ing and encouraging the Radicals.
This party, small and insignificant as it
is, has given notoriety and some character
to its movement, by assembling in Raleigh
in caucus, adopting a platform, nominating
q prominent gentleman of the State as its
candidate for Governor embracing on its
Executive Commute the names of some of
Tile mOSG I6SpeCUdDl6 ClJlZeuS vi bu6 SUAL6
in point Of talent and social position. AL
though General Dockery very prudently
declines the nomination, he endorses the
platform and urges the people of North
Carolina to accept the Howard amendment
as common plan by which the ve1ed ques-
ton of restoration may be settled. Candi
dates, also, in several counties in this State,
are running for the Legislature in favor of
adoptingthe proposed Constitutionalamend-
ment. This question therefore assumes
double interest to the people of this State.
The universal argument in North Carroll
ma in favor of the adoption of the Howard
amendment, is one of expediency. But few
of our people have become SO apostatized
as to urge it as matter of principle. We
must accept this amendment, they say, or
terms will be offered us that viii be more

Avery good one occurred in our hearing
one evening last winter. An old Irish gen
gleman, fifty years in ''bonds" of holy we'd

Funeral of the Rev. Dr.. Hawks.

The funeral of the late DR.. Hawks took
place yesterday afternoon, from Calvary
church (of which the deceased was the pas
tor on the corner of Twenty-frst street
and Fourth avenue. The funeral cortege
formed at the parsonage, i'll East Twenty
second street, and from there proceeded to
the church. On the arrival of the remains
at that place they were received by the fol-
lowing distinguished clergyman, who also
took part in the procession, viz Bishops
Potter, Lay, Talbot and Quintard. Among
those present we're Rev. Drs. Dix, Mullen
burg, Tuttle, Gallaudet, Haight, Higbee,
Tucker, Chauncey, Houghton, Young, Wes-
ton, McVicker, Price. Morgan, Tying, How
land, Rev, John H. Hopkins Jr., Rev.
Mr.. Gilbert. Mr.. Bremen, of Yonkers
Gen. Dix, Governor Fish, G. c. Verplanck,
Henry Pierpont, and many others.
The procession was headed by the
Bishops of New York and New jersey
The Bishop of Missouri, brother of the
deceased, and his son, were among the
mOurners.
The Rev. DIR. Washburne read the first
part of the admirable funeral service Of the
Episcopal church. The Bishop of New
York read the sentences and prayer also
the address beginning, 'Forasmuch as it
hath pleased Almighty God" &c.
The choir and congregation sang with
good effect the beautiful selection, ct
heard voice from heaven saying" &c.
After the impressive services were ended
in the church, the congregation filed up
the two side aisles and passed down the
middle. At the altar there was beautiful
collection of white tube roses in the form
of crosses and crowns. These, we under
stand, were voluntary gifts of former lady
members of Dr.. Hawks church. In the

At ten minutes past four an imposing

ed to Greenwood Cemetery, where, with
out further ceremony, they were deposited
in the place selected for their last resting
place.-N. Y Herald, 3OM ,M

twenty five thousand majority Governor Holden
told me the same, and so did everybody except the
Virginians'
We extract the following disclaimer from
a long editorial in the Standard:
1--WE saw Mr.. Stephens in the room Of the Clerk
Of the House, in presence of DR.. Powell, DR.. Sloan,
General Banks, and others. The conversation
hurried, the House was i'll session, and
Mr.. Stevens was called off once to vote. He said,
among other things, that the whole work OF recon-
struction under the President was usurpatlon and
null and void. OF course we could not agree to
that as we had been an actor in this work ourself
He said he would see to it that this work should
not stand. In this it is well known he agrees with
Judge Ruffin, of this State. He spoke of an ena-
bling act, but we did not see it. Negro Suffrage
was not mentioned by any one during the CONVEX
sation We have not, to this day, seen MIR. Ste.
vens' enabling act. 1t was introduced at the heel
of the session, and looked for 1t IN vain In the
Washington papers. Just we were about to
leave. DR.. Powell handed Mr.. Stevens new test
oath, to be adopted in the place of the present
of this oath sufficiently we'll to repeat them, but
this oath had our approval, mildcr and bet
ter one than that which ROW exists. Before we
went to Washington. while we were there, ana
all our thoughts as measure to be voluntarily
adopted by our people. We saw and heard enough,
however, to convince us that II the DO" ara amenu
rnent should not be accepted by the Southern
States reorganization would follow, with negro
suffrage, confscation of property, and many
other evils. This il the extent of our Rad'cahs",
and of our completely with Mr.. Stevens.
We have no idea that Mr.. Stevens intended to
misstate our position. We do not believe him ca
pablo of falsehood Intentional misrepresenta-
ton. 1t is natural that he should include Us with
other Southern loyalists in his general statement
as to what they desired. Gov. Hamilton is known
to be 10 favor Of negro suffrage. He attended the
Republican caucus, and spoke to that effect We
did not. We told Mr. Stevens and others, ne
toldtte President, in substance what we have said
i'll our Address in relation to the condition of
things in this State. We told them tlOyalty in
North Carolina was at the bottom and disloyalty
on top that our State government was in the
hands of the secessiOnists ; that supreme devo-
ton to the Union was neither passport to Office
nor badge of responsibility; and that the I'm
ened, and the cause of restoration ubstructei by
this condition of things"

Andrew johnson.

In his speech at the Memphis ratification
meeting, Hon G. A. Henry spoke as fol-
lows of President johnson
Iclaim the right to speak of Andrew John
son in this way, for / have some reason to
know the man. We canvassed the State in
1853 for Governor of Tennessee. There is
more resistance in him than any other man
I ever encountered The harder he was
pressed the higher he rose under the
pressure, and it seemed to me the heavier
he was loaded the lighter he ran. The
greater was the obstacle threw in his way
the more triumphantly did he clear it at a
bound His powers were never fully de-
veloped till we got down to our work Sin dead
earnest" in what the boys called ground
scuffie.
He had beaten everybody he had ever
encountered. He beat my friend L. c.
Haynes of your city, for Congress and !
think you will agree that it was no easy
job. He beat the Hon. M. P. Gentry, for
Governor, who had never been beaten be-
fore and "great, let me call him, for he
conquered me-" and predict such will be
the fate of any Radical that opposes him.
You know I never was his political friend.
He was Democrat and Wing Oil and
water were not more opposite than we, and
! yet, in the new order of things, ardently
desire the success of his administration,
and if he should be the standard-be of
that great body of conservative men who
were drawn together lately in Philadelphia
by patriotic determination to save the
Constitution from violation, and the coun-
try from utter ruin, for one will do "good
yeoman service in his cause, and will call
upon all lovers of this country, whether

who would stay the wild wave of Radical
ism which is creeping over the land and

to rally around his banner and bear it to
victory.
