RALEIGH, N. c., august 20, 1865.
To THE PRESIDENT
SIR: In reply to your despatch of Au-
gust 22d, 1 have the honor to state, in no in
stance in making appointments to office, or
in recommending for appointment, have
shown any preference for persons who have
participated in the rebellion; on the con-
trary, 1 have been very careful to prefer and
to appoint persons who were original Union
men, and persons who were in favor of re-
storing the authority of the federal govern
ment. Doubtless in many appointments
(some four thousand) some have been APP
pointed who ought not to have been, and in
some cases even friends have misled, to some
slight extent, by their recommendations !;
but, upon the whole, only loyal Union men
have been appointed and recommended at
Washin gton. 1t is my purpose and wish to
encourage and strengthen those who have
never at heart faltered in theil allegiance to
the federal government. have proceeded
deliberately and carefully in the work of res
toration, and thus far l am sure there are
no grounds for experimenting that North
Carolina will not present an acceptable con-
stitution. The great body of her people are
loval and submissive to national authority.
I know there are malcontents, radicals, and
not good men, who are engaged in misrepre-
senting facts, and fomenting strife for GER
tain purposes; but none of these things move
me in the performance of duty.
Thanking you heartily for the confidence
YOU have heretofore reposed in me, and for
the honor YOU have done me in making me
provisional governor of this noble State

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

Washington, Norember 81, 1865.
SIR: The President sincerely trusts that
North Carolina will, by her Legislature,
promptly accept the congressional amend
ment of the Constitution of the United
States abolishing slavery.

functions hereafter with the same wisdom
and in the same spirit of loyalty and devo-
ton to the Union that have marked your i'd
minstration hitherto.
The President desires you to feel entirely
assured that your efforts to sustain the adj
minlstration of the government and give eff.
feet to its policy are fully appreciated, and
that they will in no case be forgotten.

nary character. Not only on account of the
high social and political standing of the
gentlemen, who compose this Cow ention,
but because it is a Convention of the people
of all the States of the Union, (Applause,)
and because we cannot doubt if its proceed
ings are conducted with harmony and good

SIR: Contrary to my expectations, the
convention has involved itself in bitter dis
cussion of the State debt made in aid of the
rebellion. A continuance of this discussion
will greatly excite the people and retard the
work of reconstruction. Our people are be-
lieved to be against assuming the debt
by a, large majority. Is it not advisable
that our convention, like that of Alabama,
should positively ignore this debt now and

HILLSBOROUGH, OCIoneT 10, 1000.
Hon. William A. Grdhdna-Dedr Sir:
We intend to vote for our neighbour Josiah
Turner, jr., for Congress. We were proven
ted from voting for the person of our choice
for Convention by the interference of Gov
ernor Holden, who had, or pretended to
have, instructions from the President that no
unpardoned person was eligible. Yet Gen
eral Hampton, unpardoned, elected to
the South Carolina Convention. Judge Man
ly, unpardoned, was elected to our Conven-
ton. No other Governor received orders
that unpardoned persons were ineligible.-
How does it happen that our Governor re-
ceived instructions not given to other Gov
ernors2 How does it happen that no other
Governor or Convention received instructions
that we must repudiate the war debt We
are not advocating the payment of the war
or any other debt. If however, the people
of North Carolina wish to pay the war debt,
or any other debt, they will do it, and whose
business is it but theirs
We ask your opinion only as to the eligi-
bility of Mr.. Turner.
Respectfully yours,

Gentlemen:
Yours expressing your wish to vote for the
Hon. Josioh Turner, jr., as the representa-
tive in Congress from this District, and ask
ing my opinion as to his eligibility, the
doubt arising from his not having vet re-
ceived the pardon of the President, has been
received.
L doubt not, that the President has as little
disposition as he has power to interfere in
the case Memberships in Congress can pre-
sent no question for the President. Each
House is by the Constitution the sole Judge
of the elections, returns and qualifications
of its members, and if a representative be
twenty-five years of age, has been seven years
L citizen of the United States, and he at the
time of his election an inhabitant of the
State, he has all the qualifications prescribed
by the Constitution, and there is no power
or authority that can require any others.
have recently endeayored to demonstrate this
in a paper published in the Raleigh Sentinel
of this date. As to a pardon, l presume it
is only necessary that the President shall
have leisure to consider the case of Mr.. Turn
er to obtain that Certainly no citizen of
this State has shown more vigorous opposi-
ton to the whole secession movement, or
conducted himself in a more manly and pa
triotic manner throughout the war. L have
recently seen a letter from high official in
Virginia stating that " q special appeal had
been made to the President" by Governor
Pierpont, Freaman Smith, G. HI. Lewis,
Treasurer of the Commonwealth, and several
other influential citizens of that State, who
formed the acquaintance of Mr. Turner, and
witnessed his coarse in the Confederate Con-
gress, praying an immediate grant of his
pardon.
