" c.:
Accept my thanks for the noble and eff
cient manner in which you have discharged
your duty provisional governor. You will
be sustained by the government.
The result of the recent elections in North
Carolina have greatly damaged the prospects
of the State in the restoration of its govern
mental relations Should the action and the
spirit of the Legislature be in the same direc-
ton it will greatly increase the mischief al
ready done, and might be fatal.
1t is hoped the action and spirit manifes-
ted by the legislature will be so directed as
rather to repair than to increase the difficult
ties under which the State has already placed
itself. ANDREW JOHNSON,
President Of tile United States

HILLSBOROUGH, October IL, 1860.
Hon. William 4 Grahan-Dear Sir:
We intend to vote for our neighbor, Josiah
Turner, ,jr., for Congress. We were preven-
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, was 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
ernors? How does it happen that no other
Governor or Convention received instructions
that we must repudiate the war debt 2 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,

RALEIGH, N. c. October II, 1865.
His Excellency the PRESIDENT Of the United
States:
SIR: Contrary to my expectations, the
convention has involved itselfin 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 large majority. Is it not advisable
that our convention, like that of Alabama,
should positively ignore this debt now and
forever? Please answer at once.

HILLsBoRoUaH, October 18, 1865.

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 yet re-
ceivcd the pardon of the President, has been
received.
I 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 representative be
twenty-five years of age, has been seven years
a citizen of the United States, and be 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 en8eavored to demonstrate this
in paper published in the Raleigh Sentinel
of this date. AS to pardon, 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-
tion to the whole secession movement, or
conducted himself in q more manly and pa
triotic manner throughout the war. I have
recently seen letter from high official in
Virginia stating that " a special appeal had
been made to the President" by Governor
Pierpont, Freaman Smith, G. H. Lewis,
Treasurer of the Commonwealth, and several
other influential citizens of that State, who
formed the acquaintance of Mr.. Turner, and
witnessed his course in the Confederate Con-
gress, praying an immediate grant of his
pardon.
am, with hign respect,
Your obeolient servant.

Governor w. w. HOLDEN, Raleigh N. c.:
Your decision is correct-that under the
proclamation they cannot vote for members
or sit in convention as members, without first
being pardoned on taking the amnesty oath.
If the party comes within any one of the ex-
ceptions, they must obtain a pardon before
voting or sitting as member All those
who are aspirants to seats in the convention,
and are elected, will be pardoned upon your
and a submission of their
names by telegraph.

ATTBMPTE BURGLARIEs, AND ARREST
OF ONE OF THE SUSPECTED PARTIES FOB TILL
TAPPING.-There we're several attempts made TO
otter forcbly INTO houses aud stores in the neigh
bOThOod of SxtC enth and South streets last night
An attempt was made to force into the -four
store Of Dunham Il Brother, In Sixteenth below
South streets, by prying open the shutters OF the
i1ont windows. The thieves did not, however,
get inside.
The grocery store at the south west corner of
Sixteenth and Spruce was also attempted, but
for some reason or other they were frightened
off. The police saw two or three suspicious
locking persons lurking around the neighbor-
hood, who were suspected of being the guilty
parties. Chase was made, but they managed
10 escape in the locality OF Tenth and South
streets, where there was ball going on at the
time. HThere the police lost sight Of them. At
an early hour this morning, George Hornkief
young man apparently twenty years of age, was
drawer OF Mr.. Alexander Dougherty, who keeps
liquor store at Broad and Bedford streets
He entered the store while Mr.. DOugherty was
at his breakfast. His little girl went into the
store, and instantly rushed back TO her father
saying, "Father, there Is a man behind the
counter Mr.. ID. then cot up, and going into
the store, saw HornBief just leaving the store.
He ran after him, and chased him for some
distance through the alleys and by-ways until
he emerged at Fifteenth and Walnut streets.
Here Officer Sankey saw Hornkef aud made
chase after him also, and caue ht him after he
had run a short distance. When he was taken
to the Station House. he was recognized as one
of the men who had been seen prowlng around
in the neiehborhood of the attempted burglaries.
There is no doubt that after The failure of these
two burSlarious attempts, Hornkief undertook
his little operation of tapping the till. He was
taken before Alderman Swift, and was held i'm
$1,000 to answer at Court

SERIOUS SPoRT.-Some days ago, rather
serious practical joke was attempted upon Cap
tam Levy, who resides al Hamilton Terrace,
Ward. Three boys got q quantity of very in
flammable material, supposed 10 be preparation
OF nitro-elyoerine, and during the temporary
absence Of Captain and Mrs. Levy from home,
srewed IT over the front porch. The night was
very damp one. When Captain Levy came
home he ascended the porch first and as his
foot touched the inhammable material 1t took
fire, and cracked and blazed all around him.
He cautioned his wife not to advance to the
porch, as she would be in danger of catching
fire. The material was swept off as cleanly as
could be done, but even the dust that was left
loot rested upon it. The police AUTHORITIES
traced il up and arrested three lads belonging
to the most respectable families in West Phia-
delphia. The material was purchased at Mr..
Ellis drug store, Seventh and Market streets.
The three lads were held in $500 for further
hearing on the charge of attempt at arson.
