Pardons for North-CaroIiniar

The Sentinel at last admits that the Presi
dent has not ordered the pardon OF all North
Carolinians whose applications are on tile.-
The Sentinel thinks the report that all have
been pardoned is a mere sensation report
gotten up for effect. 1t certainly created
sensation with the Sentinel That paper was
delighted for little while, but it now says
ave learn, from friend in Washington,
cognizant of the facts, that this announce
ment is premature What has been done is,
that quite number of those, whose crime
was simply holding petty office under the
late Confederate Government, have been par
doncd, most of them upon the recommends
ton of Gov. Worth, and that their pardons
will be forwarded in short time. The ar
engagements made by Gov. Worth, IN refer
ence to this matter, are such as will insure
the most prompt and the earliest action pos
sible in the premises The President, how
ever, must select his own time and way to
dispose of them"
How can any arrangements which Gov
Worth may make ENSURE the most prompt
and the earliest action possible 2" The mat
ter of pardons is with the President. Gov.
Worth can ENSURE -" nothing in this respect.
By the way the Sentinel has done gross
lation to pardons 1t would do no good to
correct this ininstice Let it be. We may
observe, however, that the Sentinel has been
among the State archives, and it says they
" shall be made to reveal other facts of not
less ominous import than the foregoing. y
Let us have these "ominous" facts, Mr..
Sentinel. What are they?
The Sentinel has recently been engaged in
trying to prove that Gov Worth has infu-
ence at Washington. We have nothing
against Gov. Worth personally, and we re-
gret we cannot agree with him politically
For the good of the State and the benefit of
our people we should be gratifed if Gov.
Worth had not only some influence, but
much influence at Washington, provided he
would not use it to the injury of the true
Union men. Up to a certain period his
record rs Il Union man was good But Lu-
offer fell, and SO did our worthy Governor
He was elected Governor by the secession |
vote over true and tried Unionist, and |
elected because he pandered to secessionists |
and they expected to use him. We have the |
testimony of the President himself that his |
election under the circumstances, acas q btooo
areU nigh ,tatal to the State. He is less a !
Union man now than when he was elected. |
We regret this, but it is so. He is further
than ever from his old friends. He is at
length fully in the embraces of the seces-
those who sought to destroy the
government, and who would rather see it
blasted forever than restored on terms that
would exclude them from power.

The STATES WHERE NEGROES VOTE.
The Albany Argus, in a comprehen
sive statement of the existing condition
of this question in different States, de-
MES the truth of an assertion lately
made by Worcester paper, that ne
groes vote in Massachusetts on paving
a poll tax.
There are only two States in the Union
where the negro is allowed to vote with
out property qualification. They are
Vermont and New Hampshire, the for
mer of which has eighty negro voters
and the latter one hundred and ninety.
In Massachusetts every voter must,
within two years, have paid State or
county tax, unless excused from taxa
ton.
In Rhode Island voter must own
real estate of one hundred and thirty
four dollars in value, or of the clear
yearly value of seven dollars over any
ground rent.
Acoiored personis not allowed to vote
IN New York unless he has resided in
the state three years, and is freeholeer
In value OF two hundred and fftv dol.
lars and paid taxes thereon.
Massachusetts, which does not at home
allow any man to vote who has not
paid State or county tax directJv-fo,
they all pay indireclly-is very DESTROYS
that the Southern States shall ALLOW no
groes to vote without such d1scrimina
ton. She goes in for universal blacl
suffrage at the South, while denying i
to her poor whites at home. This
Massachusetts philanthropy, or her pre-
erence for negroes oyer whites.

Mr.. DAVIS AGAIN-FoRTREss MONROE,
April 2S.-Jef Davis, 1 am told, expresses
the hope that he is to be brought speedily to
trial. In the shadowy remoteness and I'M
certainty of a general amnesty, think there
can be no doubt, however, but he would pre-
fer an immediate decision of his fate to being
kept much longer in prison. A doctor who
knew him during the war, and saw him
few days since for the first time since his
capture, assures me that he has most per
ceptibly and painfully failed in health since
his incarceration. His face is very much
thinner, his hair is grayer, and his step is
not at all assured. He rested frequently in
his walks, and every ineament of his face
and every movement betrayed physical ener-
gies wasted and worn to degree giving as
surance of but little remaining vitality This
gentleman says he cannot live the summer
out in prison. Of Nea0 York Herald.

We learn from the marlborough A,yu>
that Gov. Worth has appointed Gen. Atlas
J. Dargan, of Arson, one of his Aids witt.
the rank of Colonel. The General accepts
the appointment.
1t is a noteworthy fact that Gov. Worth
has thus far appointed no unconditional
Union man to office. The time will soon
come to appoint Directors in the various
Railroad corporations We predict that
every out-and-out Union man will be elected
and secessionists latter-day war men ap-
pointed in their places.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May The Senate was
occupied with the question of reconsidering
the vote by which the amendment to the
Post Office Appropriation Bill, restricting
the President from making removals from
Office, was passed. A number of speeches
were made on both sides, when the vote was
taken and the amendment reconsidered, af-
ter which the Senate adjourned.
The House considered the new Tax Bill,
and also resolved to hold evening sessions in
the future. The Reconstruction Report
comes up tomorrow.

Assault on an Officer of the Freedmen's Bureau.

MACON, GA, May AT Augusta yester-
day James Taut made a brutal assault upon
Captain Bryant of the Freedmen's Bureau,
striking him several times over the head and
stunning him. The assault was utterly I'M
provoked, and, as understand, grew out of
some offence taken by Taut at Captain Bry-
ants action in reference to the attempt of
the colored people to decorate the graves of
the Union dead with flowers. Taut was ar
rested and held to bail to appear before the
Recorders Court on Friday.

SOME OF THE OUTRAGEs OF THE BUREAU
IN NORTH CAROLINA Opposite Newbern,
| on the other side of the river, some twenty
five hundred freedmen have been settled for
five years past. They were invited there by
the military, and located on little Plats OF
ground, which they were allowed to cultivate.
Eight months ago, Edward S. Fitz, Massa-
chusetts preacher, was placed in charge OF
the Trent River settlement by Captain James,
another New England preacher, who was
then conducting the Bureau here. A system
of extortion and cruelty was Immediately in
augurated. Fifty cents month ground rent
was demanded for every plat on which the
miserable little cabins were erected. Every
negro who owned q boat had to pay two
dollars and half month, or his boat was
forfeited Every darkey who kept a store
was taxed five dollars a month. Every one
who owned a horse was taxed similar
amount. Failure to pay any OF these exac-
tons was punished by the imprisonment of
the man or his wife-preference being given
to the wife-the contiscation of all his little
property, and in many cases the tearing
down of his house. A negro who quarrelled
with his wife was fined one hundred dollars.
and sent to prison until he paid it. All these
eXtortions were practised upon population
stepped in the deepest poverty, scourged by
disease, and many of them wanting the COM
mon necessaries of life and in this manner
anincome Of at least eight hundred dollars
month was derived by the Bureau.-C0rres-
oondence Of tile Ne,o York Herald.
We do not know how much truth there is
in the above. We should be glad to know
that it is unfounded. 1t is the peculiar duty
of the Bureau, while it is just to the whites,
to treat the colored people kindly, and to re-
alize nothing in the way of profits from the
poverty of this unfortunate race.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sum-
The Bank Failure---The Colorado Bill to be We
toed---The Committee Constitutional Amend
ment gees over---Next President.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Treasury De-
partment has appointed a receiver to take
charge of the affairs of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank. We may expect from him an
early report of the'result of his investigation
into the concerns of the association.
A thorough investigation of the affairs of
this bank will suggest some necessary modl-
tications of the law creating the national
bank system, both for the protection of the
| government and of private citizens.
The President will undoubtedly veto the
Colorado State BILL The policy of Congress
is to disfranchise eleven States, and enfran
chise certain bogus Territories, and thus to
perpetuate their two-thirds power. If they
can get a number of radical Senators by di-
viding Tennessee and admitting several more
Territories, they will probably do it.
AS the internal revenue bill will occupy
the House this week, the report of the COM
mittee of fifteen proposing constitutional
amendment will not be taken up very soon,
if at all. 1t will probably be recommitted,
with instructions to the effect that, before
they proceed to tinker the constitution again,
they should be required to read that instru-
ment. The third section of their proposed
amendment, prohibiting persons who had
participated in the rebellion from voting for
presidential electors till 1870, shows that the
committee were ignorant of the fact that
electors may be chosen by State legislatures:
Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania nominated
Gen. Grant for the next presidency in his
speech on Friday. He says that the contest
for the presidency is fast narrowing down to
a choice between Grant and Lee.
We give the above for what it is worth.
IF no cbanOe for the better should take place
in Southern feeling before 1868, Gen. Lee
would distance Gen. Grant or any other
loyal man in the recently insurgent States
The Union men of the South receive no en-
couragement from any quarter If they are
not utterly depressed it is owing to their
devotion to principle and their own indom-
liable spirit
