Wake Comfy Court.

The term of Wake County Court held here
last week, was probably the most laborious
in the history of the County. Nearly the
entire term was consumed in considering
and disposing of indictments for offences not
extending to life or limb. One white man
and several colored men were whipped fol
stealing. 1t is to be regretted there was nc
authority to continue the Court another
week. If this could have done, the proba-
bility is that all the business would have
been transacted.
The Magistrates in attendance, the Special
Court, and the County Attorney, Mr.. Badger,
and the Sheriff and Clerk, deserve the
thanks of the County for the industrious
and able manner in which they discharged
their duties.
During the term, the Magistrates made an
order to establish County Workhouse, I'M
der the provisions of the recent act of the
Legislature. The following gentlemen were
appointed Directors: r. G. Badger, O. Bus
bee, J. @. Williams, Dr. W. l. Busbee, W.
H. High, R,.W. Wynne, W. D. Jones. w. H.
Harrison, and H. A. Hodge. W. J. Holle-
man, Esq, was elected Superintendent of the
Workhouse-an excellent selection.

TUESDAY, AUG UsT %. 1866.
Look ON this Picture.

The Sentinel of August 9Th contains the
following:
"The Sentinel shall continue to be firm
defender of law and order, a warm supporter
of President Johnson's policy, and a vehicle
of the latest views. 1t aoiU oppose proscrip
| ton for opiniOn's sake"
And now Look on That.
| The Sentinel, in subsequent issue to the
above says: o.5 Hai".
In view of such an antagonism, while we
would not seek to deprive Mr.. Goodloe oil
any pecuniary emolument or personal sue
cess. under ordinary circumstances, we really
think that it is his duty to retire from the
office of Marshal for the District of North.
Carolina"
| And the Sentinel of 25th August says:
SIN North Carolina the President has
work to do. Every man in Office in the State
civil or military, who is in favor of Radical
measures and opposed to the President
should be removed at once. Many of them
if not most of them, are exceedingly hostile
to the President and to the patriotic princi
piles and purposes of the Philadelphia Con.
vention. Some of the delegates appointed
by the Washington County meeting to the
| Traitors Convention to be held in Philadel.
phia, in September, are office-holders under
the President in this State. Many of the
collectors and assessors, collectors of the Gus
| toms, pOstmasters and the District Marshal
are hostile to the President and to the Con
stitution as it is. So are also officers of the
Freedmen's Bureau. They should be re-
moved, at once, and their places supplied
with true men TO the government"
The Sentinel has deceived its readers In
its issue of the 9Th of August it promises tc
'oppose prescription for opinions sake
and in its issue of the 25th of August it de
mands the removal of every officer in this
State who does not endorse the Philadelphia
Convention.
High times, indeed, when Southern trait
ors like the Editors of the Sentinel and those
for whom they speak, demand of the Presi
dent that he remove men from office on &C
count of what may be regarded, and only re
garded as excessive loyalty!
The Sentinels conscience (0 was troubled
recently because certain Southern gentlemen
took the test oath in order to fill some OF
these offices. If these gentlemen should be
removed, where will that paper find persons
to fill their places who can take the oath2
But it seems military" men, who will no,
play the politician by taking sides with the
Philadelphia Convention, must be removed
also. The Sentinel wants secession office
holders, secession Generals. and secession
troops. This will do for the present, but
that paper would be much better pleased if
it could have Mr.. Davis for President, Peter
Mallett for commandant of conscripts, and
Wheeler's cavalry in the field fighting for
" our beloved Confederacy"

He told me what he thought of Southern

I must tell you further, that about six
months after the war there were many asso-
Citations formed, known as relief associations,
such as Gibsons Brigade Relief Association,
and the Hays Brigade Relief Association.-
These associations were made up of soldiers,
and the presidents of the associations were
the old commanders of brigades, and vice
presidents were the old colonies of regiments,
and SO down. They held secret meetings,
and were to all intents and purposes mill
tary organization. Sheridan feared these Or
CARNATIONS as a nucleus for further distur-
Dances, and he made up his mind to sup
press them. He issued order declaring
that all relief associations and all associa-
tions tor the erection of monuments intended
commemorate the late Rebellion, should be
dissolved and suppressed.
When they heard of it. they came and
begged him not to issue it. He said, a

We publish to-day an address by some of

18th September. There are many respectable
names to this call, but there are thousands of
other army officers, and all the great names
such as Grant, Sherman, Logan, Thomas,
and Meade-are wanting
These officers say the best'' of the South
ern people were represented at Philadelphia.
This is not so. The "6est'' people in the
South are the Unionists, and they had no
representatives at Philadelphia. The worst
people we have in the South are unrepentant
secessionists and latter-day war men. These
were fully represented in the Convention re-
ferred to. If their deliberations should do
no good, we trust they may do no harm.

UNPARDoNED DELEGATES. of the
delegates to the Philadelphia Convention
were unpardoned persons, such as A. H.
Stephens and w. A. Graham A Georgia
correspondent of the Richmond Examiner
says:
6 I do not know how many, but there are
several of our delegates who belong to t. the
excepted classes" and are consequently still
liable to be asst gned to quarters in Fortress
Monroe by the divine Stanton and the angelic
Holt. In an assembly of freemen consulting
for the good of the Union, hemp neck ties
are not appropriate. They obstruct free ut
terance and interfere with perfect enjoy
ment."
The Examiner comments on the above as:
follows:
1--WE very fully concur as to the absurdity
of persons protesting to speak as freemen in
a political convention, who are as yet, I'M
pardoned, and who hold their very lives and
all their property at the breath of the Presi-
dent; If, however they do not speak as free
men, it is clear they ought not to speak for
the South, but leave the work to those who
can do so without having to encounter by
any possibility the Executive displeasure for
a slip of the tongue. If gentlemen are unpar-
doned, their utterances are always open to
suspicion OF a desire to placate the pardonlng
power and thus get out of a scrape. When
men are ON the scaffold with rope about
their necks, it has been customary to hear
them as matter of curiosity, to know what
they would say under such a peculiar stress
of circumstances, but their opinions have
generally been printed to satisfy morbid
craving for the sensational, and never for the
public instruction"
1t cannot be supposed for moment that
these delegates were in condition to de-
hberate and act Independently. They must
have had constantly before their eyes the fear
of Executive displeasure.
By the way, how is it that Gov. Graham is
not pardoned? Is 4 Holden" still preventing
it? We really think the Governor has earned
his pardon. Will the Sentinel enlighten us
on the subject
