SoUTHERNERs IN PAKIs.-Geo w. Kendall,
in a letter from Paris TO the New Orleans
stumbled upon George N. Sanders, yester-
day. His hair Is as long and bushy as of old:
his countenance mild and as placid As
though the cards were running in his favor.
If he has been engaged at all in Paris it has
been with good living. He gets enough to ear
In Paris, does George-probably three meals a
day. He speaks well Of Horace Greeley-much
better than he does Of other folk could men
ton. He talks Of going TO Russia, but on wnat
mission / cannot say. He will always find
friends. 20 where he will.
i have also seen General Tosmbs, and many
OF our Southern people here; and, as i have
said about Sanders, all seem to be getting
along. General Toonbs,, il i am rightly in
formed, intends going home this winter and so
do many others who are in the same boat with
him. wish TO see them all back; we need

N c.:
Every dollar of the debt created to aid the
rebellion against the United States should
be repudiated finally and forever. The great
mass of the people should not be taxed to
pay a debt to aid in carrying on rebellion
which they in fact, if left to themselves, were
opposed to- Let those who have given their
means for the obligations of the State look
to that power they tried to establish in vio-
lation of law, constitution, and will of the
people. They must meet their fate. 1t is
their misfortune, and cannot be recognized
by the people of any State protesting them
selves loyal to the government of the United
States and in the Union. 1 repeat that the
loyal people of North Carolina should be ex-
onerated from the payment of every dollar
of Indebtedness created to aid in carrying on
the rebellion. I trust and hope that the peo-
pie of North Carolina will wash their hands
of everything that partakes in the slightest
degree of the rebellion, which has been so
recently crushed by the strong arm of the
government IN carrying out the obligations
imposed by the Constitution of the Union.

Washington, December 2S, 1865.
SIR: The time has arrived when, in the
judgment of the President of the United
States, the care and conduct of the proper
affairs of the State of North Carolina may be
remitted to the constitutional authorities
chosen by the people thereof without danger
to the peace and safety of the United States.
By direction Of the President, therefore, you
are relieved from the trust which was here
tofore reposed in you as provisional COVER
nor of the State of North Carolina. When
ever the governor elect shall have accepted
and become qualified to discharge the duties
of the executive office, you will transfer the
papers and property of the State now in
your custody to his excellency Governor
Worth.
1t gives me especial pleasure to convey to
you the Presidents acknowledgment of the
fidelity, loyalty, and discretion which have
marked your administration.
You will please give me reply, specifying
the day on which this communication is re-
ceived.
have the honor to be
your excellency's most obedient servant,

Governor VIM w. HOLDEN, Raleigh, ~ O. ::
Information comes to me that reports are
freely circulating in influential quarters and
where, without Contradiction. they are calcu-
lated to do harm, to the effect that in ap-
pointments to office. and in the recommen-
dations for appointments, the true Union
men are totally ignored, and the provisional
governors are giving decided preference to
those who have participated in the rebellion.
The object of such representations is to en-
barrass the government in its reconstruction
policy and while place no reliance in such
statements, feel it due to you to advise you
of the extended circulation they have gained,
and to impress upon you the Importance of
encouraging and strengthening, to the fullest
extent the men of your State who have never
faltered in their allegiance to the government.
Every opportunity should be made available
70 have this known and understood as your
policy and discrimination let; [ojn@tam Acknowledge
