shall hold any office under the United States,
or under any State, who, having served in
the federal Congress, or in any State Legls-
lature. or as an executive or judicial officer
of any State, or as an officer of the United
States, and taken an oath as such to support
the Constitution of the United States, after
wards engaged in the rebellion, giving aid
and comfort to the enemies of the United
States Two-thirds of Congress may remove
this disability. The question therefore IS,
whether certain persons shall be excluded
from office and the Union shall be restored;
or whether, on account of these persons, and
because we may not want to exclude them
from Office, we are to remain indefinitely out
of the Union. The people cannot hesitate
one moment as to their choice in this mat
ter. The chaff is to be separated from the
wheat; and if any of the wheat should be
about to be blown off with the chatf, Con-
rress will interpose as chief winnower and
save every sound grain
1t is our deliberate opinion that the above
terms are the very best the Southern States
can obtain. If these terms should be reject
ed, heavier and more stringent terms will be
required Delay in this matter will be dam
gerous.
1t is provided by the Constitution that
thereto may be ratified by the
or by Conventions of the States,
- as the one or the other mode of ratification
may be proposed by the Congress" If Con-
ventions, as well Legislatures, should be
allowed to ratify, our Convention now in
session might at once ratify the foregoing
and thus take the lead in the
great work Of restoration.

A Holy MAN CALLED TO "DIRTY" "
the Sentinel, who preserves his temper
never man preserved it before, says, "Provi-
DENTAL necessity, not choice, has placed us
i'll our present position. What Providence
wanted with us in this position, except to
expose the vieness of W. w. Holden, we
have not been able to discover. We confess
it is dirty business, but what our hands
find to do, we must do it with our might"
Verify, neighbor, thou hast announced
new principle in the dealings of Providence
with this sinful world Who imposed this
" necessity on Providence Neighbor, you
are disappearing when you assume that you
made it - necessary that Providence should
e call " you to - dirty business"
Providence wanted" you once, so you
aid, as a gospel minister. You groaned
md said he had called you. You an
,wered. You preached, and you printed
cligious paper as long us it phil, but when
It ceased to pay you ceased to preach and
print. Just then, venerable enemy and
your next friend of brimstone-breath and
;loven foot, :" called" you to print trea-
1onable paper. You followed him. Your
loly calling offered you cents but when our
venerable enemy and your next friend jim
5led the dollars. you said - 10 Satan, am
Icre. Providence is nece$sitated to let me serve
:ou." And you did it. What will come of
it we know not. You Hreaten US with your
pray lers. Better speak few. more words for
yourself, neighbor.

The last Wilson North Carolinian say

The last Wilson N0rth- CnrOlinian says:
"We believe the trial of Jefferson Davis
and the South, will fully vindicate the right
of secession, and the government authorities
fear an investigation. The health of our be-
loved leader is failing, and little hopes are
entertained that he will live through the
summer. His great and almost only desire
is now speedy trial, and we trust it will be
granted him.
The scenes of St. Helena are being re-en-
acted at Fortress Monroe, and should the
imprisonment of Jefferson Davis terminate
as did that of the hero of Austerlitz, we at
the South must ever cherish for his captors
feelings of revenge akin to those which ran
kle in the bosom of the Emperor of France
We shall I" detest" =" the capitulation of 1865"
All such newspapers ought to be crushed
by the strong hand of power. Men who
write such stuff, and those who approve it,
deserve to be scourged out of the State.

The Memphis Riots.

The Secretary of war has sent to the House.
in compliance with a resolution of that body,
the reports ofGen. Steneman in regard to the
Memphis riots.
Gen, Stoneman, after giving the history of
the riots, concludes as follows :-'' As before
stated. the rioters were composed of the po-
lice, fremen and rabble, and negroe-haters
in general, with a sprfnkling of Yankee-ha-
tiers, all led and encouraged by demagogues
and office-hunters, and most of them under
the influence whiskey. 1t appears on evi-
dencebeforeth the commission that j. Creighton,
recorder of the city made a speech to the
rioters, in which he said we are not pre-
pared, but let US prepare to clear every ne
groe son-of-a bitch out of town. Very few
paroled Confederates were mixed up with
rioters on Tuesday and Wednesday, the lar
ger portion being registered voters. Who
composed the incendiaries on "Wednesday
night remains to be developed"

Our neighbor of the Sentinel would hav

Our neighbor of the Sentinel would have
US to know that he ecW pray for u.s. and be
to us, until he finds out it is an of
fence to God" We regard this ''as the
most unkindest cut of ALL" Our neighbor
will certainly call down upon us an awful
doom if he perseveres in this business. He
prayed for years for Mr.. Davis and Governor
Vance, and the result was the former found
himself in Fortress Monroe, and the latter in
the old Capitol prison.
We are told that ".tasting and prayer"
should go together. If our neighbor would
eat less beefsteak his prayers would have
more strength. The injunction is, Fast and
pray, lest ye enter INTO temptation.'

Our amiable neighbor of the Sentinel
would have the world believe that he was
specially "called by Providence from the
pulpit, to engage in worldly affairs. Du-
ring the rebellion our neighbor preached for
the colored people in this City, and he drew
very handsome support from these poor
people. To very great extent they fed and
clothed him. He appeared then to have
sincere regard for the colored people. He
seemed to think that, as slaves, they had
souls; and he knew, from blessed experience,
that they had money. But as soon as the
Union troops reached here, and these slaves
were set free, our neighbor turned up his
oligarchic nose at these same colored peo-
pie, and he has not since "darkened the
door" of their church. This brings forcibly
to mind the language of the Saviour him
self, as recorded in the 10th chapter of
John:
81 am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd giveth his life for the sheep
But he that is an hirelng, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep,
and feeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and
scattereth the sheep.
The hireling feeth, because he is an hire
ling, and careth not for the sheep"

Gratifying Intelligence from Washington

General W. T. Wotford, the member elect
10 Congress from this Congressional District,
ielegraphs to this paper, as follows-his tel
graph bearing date Washington City, the
18th instant:
General Howard has directed General
Tilson to use extraordinary means to supply
the destitute people of our devastated dis
srict with provisions
We make record of this considerate order
with pleasure Doubtless it has been issued
through the influence of General Wofford at
Washington, his Representations and his feel
ing appeal in behalf the suffering people in
his district the Cherokee section of our
State, so long overrun and devastated by
Thomas army. General TilsOn cannot move
to supply the destitute in that section of our
State too soon. They need prompt relief. or
we are assured, in many places, starvation
will overtake many, and they will PERISH

We learn that much distress prevails in
on account of the extreme scarcity of pro-
visions. Gen. Logan, of Rutherford, has in
troduced an ordinance in the Convention
asking for relief for those of his constituents
who are suffering. We hold it to be the duty
OF the State, at any expense, to provide for
its suffering poor. The bonds of the State
could be readily sold in New York, to raise
money for this object. We trust it will I've
done. Georgia has adopted this course We
are sure, also, that Gen. Ruger will extend
all the aid in his power to our suffering
people

The Gee Case.

We learn that the Court adjourned on the
3oth ultimo, for ten days, to enable the de-
fence to prepare their argument The case
will be closed by the 18th instant There
has been no adjournment since the prosecu-
ton closed, except at the request and for the
benefit of the defence, to procure attendance
of witnesses.

ception of fees to the counsel, are betrayed

There cannot be more than one-half the

For want of effective stock, and the compel

The scarcity and consequent high price of
seed has compelled our planters to put too
little seed in the earth-their planting will
be the cause of bad stands. The condition
OF the plough animals is very poor on &C
count OF the great scarcity of corn, resulting
from the failure of the negroes to work and
house the last crop.

the amount of white labor thus employed
We have seen that about three hundred
thousand whites were engaged as farm labor
ers before the war. At least one fourth of
them were killed or MANNED during the con-
hict. This would leave two hundred and
twenty five thousand now at work in the
production of cotton. Then we have as the
