Death of Isaac N. Sanders, Esq.

Death of Isaac N. Sanders, Esq.
We regret to have to state that Isaac
N. Sanders, Esq, the Senator from
Onslow, expired in this City ON Mon
day, 18th, after brief illness. Mr.. San
ders had been In feeble health for some
time past.
His death was announced in the Com
mons on Tuesday in appropriate terms,
by Mr.. Murrill, the Commoner from
Onslow, and some remarks were made
by Mr.. Manly; and in the Senate adj
dresses were delivered in relation to the
sad event by Mr.. Mckay, of Sampson,
and Mr.. Morehead, of Guilford. The
remarks of Mr.. Mckay will appear in
our next.
The deceased was inferred with Ma
sonic honors, and the funeral sermon
was delivered in the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, by the Rev. Il, T. Hudson.
A large number of the Masonic craft,
embracing many visiting brethren,
members of the Legislature and others,
turned out on the occasion. The remains
were placed in vault, so as to be sent
hereafter to Onslow.
We knew the deceased well. He was
a high-toned, honorable man, possessed
of more than ordinary intelligence, and
was devoted in his attachments to his
friends. The County of Onslow has
been deprived by this sad event of enc
of her worthiest, most respected, and
useful citizens.

1t is little curious, and yet very en-
cOuraging, to find that now, after all OF
the Governors have spoken, there is
not one in all the Northern States, from
Maine to Oregon, who is not Clecisively
committed against the treason of An.
drew johnson. They were all elected
on the issue between loyalty and trea-
son; were committed to freedom and
the sound reconstruction of the Union,
and despite the power of the President
and the influence of his whipper-in and
conscience-keeper, they are all ns much
opposed to-day to Messrs. Johnson and
Seward ns they were originally to Davis
and Stephens and Toombs and Benin-
min. The Governors of the Pacific
States were naturally heard from last.
They have come out with an unQuali-
fed endorsement of the Congressional
plan OF reconstruction, and with flat
opposition to whatever influence
thwarts 1t.
We have, therefore, now the Govern
Ors, the Legislatures, the national and
State Senators and Representatives, the
press, the pulpit and the people; we
have the whole body and substance OF
the nation standing in an UnbroEen
line against the pretty plattitCdes, the
encrOachments and tergiversations oil
the President. These are the men who
made Andrew johnson Vice President
very much against their Judgment and
wishes. They are those who aid in di.
recting the future. They are those in
whom the people have confidence, and
whatever imPedIments may stop the
way momentarily, they are those who
will prevail. We allude to this unan
unity of feeling as IA matter of some
Importance. twill be instantly appre

THE HUMDLE INDIvIDUAL AND DC

magistrate could offer free people, is
that offered by President johnson to
Americans in his speech to the COM
mite of the Philadelphia Convention,
where he says, 81 could have proclaim
ed myself dictatOr!" What a compli-
ment to the people, army, and Congress
of the United States, have we here! The
Detroit Post analyses this preposterous
boast, and thus gives the residuum; 1t
amounts to just this: Congress pre-

For the Herald.
Easter Sunday.

This is q festival of the Church which has been
observed for many ages, by the followers of the
Redeemer. 1t is movable feast:-hence it
someone's is earlier than it is at others.-This
will very easily be understood, when the follow
ing rule is recollected-viz: "Eastsr-dGy Is a.
rOays the first Sunday after the Full Noon suhich
happens upon, or neSt after, the t'centyJfrst day
of March: and ifths Full Noon happen oPo" a
Sanday yesterday is the Sunday after" Anoth-
er fact is stated by VIM. Hone in his "E7ervday
Book" that may well be remembered, viz: The
earliest possible day, whereon Easter can happen,
in any year Is the 22d of March. 1t fell on that
day, in 1875 and cannot happen again on that
day slr the year, 1885,"
"The latest possible day whercon Easter can
happen is the 25th ofApril."
This festival is commemorated by the Lutheran,
EpBcopal and Roman Catholic Churches, in Eu-
rope believe, with great regularity, as the year
passes on, and the time for its observance comes.
Connected with this season Of commemoratiou
in the Church. are many innocent amusements,
in which the people indulge. AS these are toIe-
rated by the Church, it is supposed, and correct
ly too, that there is no harm in these amuse-
Rents.
There are certain customs prevalent in some
sections of the country, which are supposed to be
peculiar to such section; such as the coloring OF
eggs for Easter. This has generally been thought
to be peculiar to the German people; and it was
breushr by them frerR the. Fatherland. But this
custom prevails in some sections OF England !;
Cumberland fer instance. The descendants OF
the Germans in this State, always prepared their
eggs for Easter, and had much amusement in the
sport of pecking eggs; the points Of the eggs
were struck against each other, and he, whose
egg broke the other, took the broken egg, as the
spoil or game of victory.
J.A.J. cf this district, many years since,
gave an Easter egg to A. G. S., which was color
ed about the year 1880, or perhaps before. He
kept one himself which was colored year be-
fore. About this period, this custom was in full
vigor-it began then to wape, and has been grad
ually going out of use, until it has almost been
forgotten Whether the two eggs, referred to,
are in existence now, am not able to tell. They
