Evil Days.

- Evil Days. SO -ty~
We were amused atafriend, during
thelat war, who. disguised with the
reEocations Of details, the nf,ltipli-
city of special orders, and the perse-
eutions of .conscript officers, wished,
in the bitterness of his heart, that
zssshe could dig a hole somewhere and
pull the hole in after hiIa, to get rid
: of his many troubles. - When one
thinks of 8 the uncertainty, of the
,times-the ,rascality that is, abroad
the houses that are burnt-the horses
and mules stolon-the murders com

trated-the robberies effectedA-who
does net year,l, in his mental distrac-
~tion. for one secluded hole, with no
: entrance cave Of solitude =
: lodge in some vast wilderness"- =
: where neither cotton nor mules do
corrupt, nor where thieves break
through and steal? Outside Of his
own family and hisown acquaintance,
one feels as if he were ina world of
sharpers, and there was dire neces-
sity for having both hands on apock-
ct, his coat tail under his arms, and
his very boots ID his eyes, lest, by
some villainocs hocus-pocus, he
should be swindled out of his socks.
A man sports a hinge watch-chain,
and we suspect him of raiding on
cotton. A stranger enters the house,
and, recalling at once the latest bur-
glary, we have an eye on the spoons.
Is it not ludicrous, and yet humilia-
ting. to think society is compelled to
act on the principle of the hotel
keeper, who presumes every man q
scoundrel, and compels him to buy
ticket before he is allowed to touch
the victuals!

quiet-it is hardly safe to walk the
streets at night. In lieu of the soft
guitar. and poetizing to tho silver
moon, succeed the loaded pistol, the
protective club, and the s'whistlinp
to keep the courage up" as one turns
abrupt corners, and passes gloomy
alleys. The pedestrian stumbles
along in the dark, with a vague hor-
ror of being felled to the earth like
an OK, and having his pockets riaed.
Bosklns ran against his own uncle
the other night, and, before q recog-
n1tlon was made, imagined he never

TIE STAY Law.

This relic of barbarian is still upon our statute
books. 1t may not be valid, as it was passed in
the eventful days of Confederate rule; but it has
been mooted tina: the Legislature, upon re-assem-
bling will validate it, or will pass similar one
to take its place. We hope not-In the name
of justice we protest against the re-enactment of
law prejudicial to the interests of our whole
people. There was time, perhaps, when it was
probably necessary, or when it might have been,
to say the best for it. regarded and submitted to
as necessary evil; but that time has passed.
no longer exists, and the continuance or reenact-
ment Of law SO uni just and deservedly Infamous
would be outrage upon justice. 1t would
hang upon US as a mighty incubus embarrassing
the energies of the State and cloggng the wheels
of progressive enterprise and industry. Let it be
forever abolished.
Much has been said, pro and con, about the
propriety of its prolonged existence. Some of
our contemporaries have displayed their good
sense in speaking out in favor of its unequivocal
Additions; others have argued that it is necessary.
We disagree with those who favor it in any
shape or form. We cannot SO regard it. We
believe that it is the interest of the debtor and
creditor alike to have it forever abolished. 1t is
high time the CREDITOR at least, should have his
dues, and we do hope that the Legislature may
deem it expedient to remove the barriers in the
way, WHICH the TeStFlctlOnS OF tnlS ODuOXlOuS law
impose.
There are many reasons that might be cited
ia justification of our position, but as they must
be apparen: to every intelligent reader, we think
it unnecessary to refer to them. he,e-Salis-
bury Banner. ~
We think the Stay Law has been great in
jury to honest debtors, as we'll to creditors.
Had it not been for that law, many persons
would have paid off their debts the first year or
two of the war, and would have saved that much
at least; but they refused to pay because they
could not be made to do it, and the result is that
they are still involved. They had better pay
now while they can do so with paper money.
We have always opposed the Stay Law because
we believe it is an injury to honest debtors, while
it enables dishonest ones to evade cheat 4 defauJ.
We are opposed to anything that will distress
honest men under present circumstances, but we
do think that creditors should be allowed to
secure their claims at least

THE EXTENT.

Gov Orr of South Carolina, in his proclama-
eiou issued on assuming the duties of civil Gov
Fernor defines the extent Of the powers Of the
civil government at present. North Carolina
10 in precisely the same condition that South
Carolina is in SO far as military and civil law is
concerned. The Governor says:
1.-THE order suspeuding the writ of habeas cor
pus issued by the President, has not been modi-
fed or revoked in this State, and the military
authority is, therefore, paramount ia all such
matters as they are Instructed to take Jurlsdc-
ton Of, and as such will be respected by all Or
derby and law abiding people.
The military Claim jurisdiction in all cases of
disloyalty to the government and iufractions of
its laws; to preserve order and discipline in and
near their garrisons; to adjudge and determine
all controversies in which freedmen and whites
are engaged, including violations of State laws
by freedmen; in all cases Of wrong or injury
done to its officers and soldiers and is an aIxil-
iary in aiding Treasury agents to recover Uni
ted States property, and the Freedmen's Bureau
10 supervising contracts of labor with freedmen.
Whenever person, therefore, is arrested by
military authority on either of the above
grounds, they have jurisdiction of the case, and
are Instructed not to obey any writ OF habeas
corpus for the release of such person.
10 all controversies between citizens, arising
out Of wrongs or injuries done to person or pro-
perty and in all violations of the penal code by
citizens the laws are in full force and the courts
will be opened henceforth on every circuit to
administer law and punish crime The vicious,
the lawless and the desperate will speedily be
overtaken by justice, and the majesty of the
law re-established and indicated"

THE CABINET.

The Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Examiner, writes - that paper as follows:
"The President seriously contempates a
change of Cabinet He has undoubtedly ad-
! vised with some few friends on the subject, aud
will act deliberately, but with decison in regard
to 1t at the proper moment. When he reaches
the point 10 his progress towards complete re-
storation of the Union, where be will necessari-
ly diverge from Congress, he must strengthen
his position by bringing around him advisers
and aids in whom he may entirely con6de. OF
course he must, when he recognizes tie restored
Union, reconstruct the Cabinet with some of
| the material that has been for four years mac
cesslble. He will necessarily call upon some
citizens of the States south Of US.
Attorney General Speed, Of Kentucky, was
appointed by President Lincoln as a representa-
tive of the then South in the Cabinet, but
President johnson may go further South for
his law officer. There can be little doubt that
Secretary Stanton will soon voluntarily retire,
and So will Secretary Harlan, of the Interior
Secretary Welles accommodates himself to the
circumstances OF the situation AS to Secreta-
ry McCulloch, he eschews party politics, and
the President and Congress and the country
seem to conide absolutely 10 his Judgment in
respect to the administration of the Treasury.
But four, at least of the present Cabinet NAV
give place to reconstruction by next July, or
before, and of three, at least two will, no doubt.

THE DIRECT LAND TAX.
It's Assumption Iy the Legislature.
From the Wilmington Dispatch.


We believe an effort was made in this county,
a short time since, and is probably BOW making,
to collect the Federal tax on lands; but with
what success We have not learned. 1t is fair to
presume, however, that it has not been so Hat
tering as the officers charged with the duty OF
collection may have expected or desired; the
impoverished condition OF our people rendering
it almost an impossibiiity for them to meet the
requirements of the law.
10 Virginia much difficulty has been found
in the collection of this tax, aud Gov. Pierpont
visited Washington city fol- the express purpose
of trying to make some arrangement for its post
ponement He had al interview with the Sec
retary of the Treasury, which resulted in al
order from that officer, directing that no sales OF
property be made by the commissioners for non
payment of the tax. The Secretary of the
Treasury is anxious that the States assume the
payments now due, and Gov. Peirpont thinks
that if the Legislature Of Virginia will pass an
act assuming to pay the amount due, i'll three
years. BY instalments, that it will be acceptable
to the government of the United States.
The same course of action on the part of our
Legislature, will prove equally acceptable to the
General Government, and We trust the question
will be brought up in that body at an early day
of the special session. No effort has yet been
made to collect this tax in large number, pro-
badly majority, of the counties Of the State,
and its assumption by act of the Legislature
would prove most acceptable to our people
Oar pecuniary condition is such that a tax that
would scarcely be felt, ordinarily, would now De
most onerous and oppressive; and to be allowed
the privilege of paying the direct land tax IN
three annual instalments will greatly relieve US
in our present straitened circumstances
The Secretary of the Treasury has no author
ity, We learn, to stop the collection of the tax;
but his order directing the Commissioners to
make no sales for its non payment, will be pro-
perly appreciated and gratefully remembered by
those interested. We again call the attention
Of the members Of the Legislature to this i'm
portapt matter. ~
