Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The House on
yesterday discussed the tax bill. Mr.. Ste
vens offered an amendment taking from Sec
retary Of Treasury disappointment of special
commissioner of the Revenue, and providing
that latter officer shall be elected by Con-
gress.
Mr. Stevens remarked that he offered the
amendment because the Secretary said he
would appoint to Office only those who sup
ported the President. 1t is time he said to
build a wall to protect those who support us.
The Secretary was recreant.
Mr.. Hale, republican, reproyed Stevens
and showed that Congress had no such pow
er of appointment.
Mr.. Delano, republican, also defended
Secretary, who, he said, was not a slave to
be thus prevented from speaking his senti
ments. Can he not have an opinion Of his
own2 Must we all square our opinions by
regular line at the dictation of an individ-
ual Just such acts as this one by Mr.. Ste
vens, were creating very bad sentiment
throughout the country.
Mr.. Stevens thus discomftted withdrew
his amendment, promising to renew it on
Monday.

DEATH OF A Coop C1r1zEN.-We are
panied to have to announce the death of
Justus Kinsey, merchant, of this city. He
died at his residence, in this city, of small
pox, on Saturday morning last. Mr., Kinsey
was an estimable and useful citizen, and his
death is loss to the city. He leaves an in
teresting family, who have the warmest SYM
pathies of the entire community Sentinel.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1866-05-30

The Sentinel denies that Gov. Worth and
his friends are engaged in an effort to dis
solve the Convention Could impudence or
falsehood go further than this 1t is notori-
Gus that Gov Worth's friends have been ac-
tive in this movement, and it could he proved
that Gov Worth himself has been personally
engaged in it. We repeat, Gov. Worth and
his friends fear the action of loyal Conven-
tion like the present. The objection which
they make to it, that it will add to the ex-
penses of the State, and that it will increase
the excitement in the public mind, is purely
selfish. If it were secession, disloyal body,
they would be glad to have it in session for
months, and we should not hear word
about expense or excitement.

Will the Sentinsl be good enough to tell us
why it is that Gov. Graham, Gov. Vance, and
Josiah Turner, Jr., are not yet pardoned p
Holden was to blame seven months ago, for
the non-pardon of these gentlemen is,
the Sentinel said he was to blame; but who
is responsible now9
Gov Graham said last December that all
he wanted was a half hours chat with Presi-
dent johnson to ensure his pardon. Well, he
has had the chat, and he is not pardonedsyet.
Where is Gov Worth's vast influence that he
does not come to the rescue of his friends I?
It is believed that Gov. Graham maze him a
candidate and had him elected, because he
was not pardoned. One good turn deserves
another. Let Gov. Worth procure the par
don.
Oh how the Sentinel would denounce An
drew johnson, if it only dared to do SO!

COLD CoMFoRT-Mr Seward, in his late
great speech at Auburn, gives cold comfort
to those Democratic leaders and their rebel
allies, as he calls them, in their newborn zeal
for Andrew johnson He tells these leaders
that they have failed in their efforts to detach
President johnson from the great Republican
party. The New York World, and othercop-
perhead papers, denounce Mr.. Seward in
round terms for using such language. Pres
ldent johnson and Mr.. Seward are 'all right"

A CALL FOR PUNIsHMENT-The Char
lotte Times, an ardent Worth, Graham pa
per, calls as follows for the punishment of
those federal officers who have " tortured
Mr.. Davis to the verge of the grave:
at is impossible that President Johnson
can now sanction the imprisonment of Mr..
Davis for another day without imperilling
his own fair fame. The honor of the nation
demands that the men who have tortured to
the verge of the grave noble and illustrious
State prisoner shall not be permitted to es-
cape punishment. DR.. Cooper's official re-
port renders it necessary that the President
should hunt down and punish the guilty
parties, in order that the Government may
not be held responsible for their acts"
How long are such UNANIMOUSLY traitorous
sheets as the Charlotte Times to be allowed
to exist among us, poisoning the minds Of
our own people, and banding the Northern
people still more against the recently insur-
gent States9 High times, indeed, when
rebel newspaper calls for the punishment of
federal officers for performing their duty in
holding Mr.. Davis in prison under orders !!

The Sentinel is alarmed at the prospect of
a change of the basis Of representation in the
Legislature. We do not sympathize in this
alarm. The time has come for change of
basis, and we believe it to be the duty of the
Convention to make the change. Let the
white basis, so-called, I've established, and let
it be either of votes or of the whole white
population. Nor can we perceive any strong
reason for property qualification for mem
bers of the Legislature. 1t might be well to
provide that no person under twenty-five.
years of age should be eligible to seat in
the Senate.

Mr.. clark's Resolutions.

The extraordinary resolutions of Mr.. Clark,
of Craven, proposing to adjourn or dissolve
the State Convention, will be found in the
first days proceedings Of that body.
These resolutions assume that the work
for which the Convention was elected has
been accomplished; but Mr.. Clark was care
full not to set out in his resolutions the decla-
ration by the President in his proclamation,
and also by the Provisional Governor in
both his proclamations providing for the
Convention, that the Convention possesses
authority to exercise within the limits of
said State. all the powers necessary and
proper to enable such loyal people of the
State of North Carolina to restore said State
to its constitutional relations to the federal
government" We say Mr.. Clark was careful
to omit the above, for ne well knew that if
he set out this language his resolutions would
have no relation to the object he has in view.
The Convention, thus chosen and clothed
with "aU the powers necessary and proper :"
to restore the State to the Union, has not get
accomplished this soork and therefore, any
proposition to dissolve the Convention at
this time, is in direct opposition to the au-
thority of the President, and is calculated to
prevent the restoration of the Union.
1t is also assumed by Mr. Clark, that the
Convention does not derive its authority from
the people, and that further action by it
would be revolutionary. If this be so, then
all that has been done in the way of reor-
ganizing the State is purely military in its
character-has been done without the au-
thority of the people, and is as much revolu-
tionary as any future action would be. If this
be so, then are the members of the Conven-
ton mere instruments in the hands of the
military, and, SO far as the people are con-
cerned, they are intruders and usurpers.-
Such is the logical result from the position
taken by Mr.. Clark, Gov. Worth and Others.
The Sentinel says President johnson has
announced that nothing more is required of
u.s." This is notoriously untrue. President
JOIlilSOu HIS dllHOuuCcu uU SuCtl Ou
the contrary, we have no doubt the President
would regard the present occasion as most
opportune one for comforting with the loyal
delegates of the people of this State on the
great business of restoration. A fine oppor-
tunity is now presented, through the action
of our State Convention, to reconcile the diff
ferences between the President and Congress,
and to pave the way for the admission Of
North Carolina to her full privileges as a
member of the Union. If this opportunity
is allowed to pass by, years may elapse be-
fore the State is restored. The issue there
fore is, Union or Disnion! If the proper
steps are taken by this Convention, the State
can be restored by the first day ofnext Janu-
ary; but if the Convention should adjourn,
and nothing should be done, we may look
| for continued disunion, military rule, taxa.
ton without representation, anarchy, vio-
lence, and perhaps civil war! If these ca.
lamities should befall. US, the people will
know who to hold responsible for them.

How MIST Is GENERATED-lhe produce

veteran DR.. John Day, (b,other ofSir Hum

the access of cold air. saturated with mols

large bodies of water), and strikingiy exem

when the water. owing to the heat in Sum

The Little Children.

God bless the little children,
We meet them everywhere;
We hear their voices round our hearth,
Their footsteps ON the stair;
Their kindly hearts are swelling DER
With mirthiulness and glee;
God bless the little children
Wherever they may he.
We meet them meath each gypsy tent,
With visage swarth and dun,
And eyes that sparkle as they glance,
With rougery and fun;
We find them fishing in the brook
For mnnows with Il pin,
Or creeping through the hazel-brush
The linnet's nest to win.
We meet them in the lordly hall.
Their stately fathers pride;
We meet them in the poor mans cot
He has no wealth beside;
Along the city's crowded street.
They hurl the hoop and ball;
We find them meath the pauper's roof
The saddest sight Of all.
For there they win no fathers love,
No mothers tender care,
Their only friend the God above,
Who hears the orphan prayer;
But dressed in silks or draped in rags,
In childish grief or gee.
God bless the little children
Wherever they may be.
