OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for the sonth.

Terr1tOria1 GOVERNMENTS iOr ING Sousns
The following is the resolution of Mr..
Broomall, of Pennsylvania, which passed the
House by vote of 1o7 to 81:
Resolped, That the Committee on Terrific
ries be instructed to inquire into the expedi-
ency of reporting a bill providing Territorial.
Governments for the several districts ofco
try formerly occupied by the once existing
States of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and
giving to all adult male Inhabitants born
within the limits of the United States, or
duly naturalized and not participants in the
late Rebellion, full equal political rights in
such Territorial Governments.
The above is test vote, which shows
that the House is not disposed to favor the
proposition for universal amnesty and uni
versal suffrage.
The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune says:
at is the opinion of Il prominent Senator,
who has had unusual opportunities of obser-
walton, that at the present session of Con-
gress an enabling act will be passed, reject
ing the present governments of the rebellious
States as utilities, and that the loyal people
of those States, without respect to color, will
be authorized to choose delegates to consti-
lions will be required to submit the consti-
tutons thus formed to vote of the people
for approval or rejection. The Senator
makes these statements with so much earn
estness that little doubt can be entertained
of his source of information. He predicts
that the bill will very shortly be presented
for action"

We predicted that the Presidents message
would disappoint the tire-eaters of the South.
Their organs bestow doubtful compliments
unmistakable" sneer
The Wilmington Dispatch says:
AS far as he goes he is very conservative, and
service-secure for her the admission of repre-
sentation. But he does not 20 far enough by half
Indeed, we forced to believe that he is either
insincere, or of weak intellect. He ought to tell
Congress that the test oath which it has passed
for the exclusion of Southern from office is not
only unconstitutional, but outrage on the coun-
try. He either knows that this is so, he is no
statesman; and his opinion any point of Con-
stitutonal law, in the last case is utterly worth
less If he knows that the test oath is unconsti-
tutional, then he should say SO like man, and
not in all his public utterances avoid committing
himself, like some miserable county cross roads
politician. He occupies position in which he
may afford to dcspise the arts of demagogism,
and should do If it is his purpose to be frank
and he does not believe that the test oath is I'M
some one of sufficient capacity to enlighten him
on that point. The letter of Gov. Graham pub
lshcd during the last twelve months, might serve
to assist him i'll his research after the truth in
gard to this question. Taking the message all in
all, 1t Is a disappointment"
1t is little remarkable that the President
does not recommend in his late message, as
he did in his message of December, 1865, a
modification of the test oath. Indeed, when
he says, as he does, that only loyal mem
bers" of Congress should be admitted, and
forbears at the same time to repeat his re-
commentator that the oath be modified, he
impliealy endorses it. This is what vexes the
Dispatch and Others of that ilk.
The real feeling of the " Southern leaders,
towards the President, is shown in the cool
and contemptous manner in which the Dis
patch advises him to employ the services of
Mr.. Graham. This is nearly as good in its
way the opinion of Gov. Swain, that if
Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Perry had been admit
ted to seats in the Senate they would have
induced that body to adopt " a wiser scheme
of adjustment" than any yet presented.

Col. Forney, in a recent letter over the
signature of " Occasional" in his paper, the
Washington Chronicle, says:
Congress is called upon to provide re-
publican governments for all the States of
the Uuion and now that the recent rebels
have again defed the laws of the land, and
in the name of an aristocracy worse than
any on the face of the earth-an aristocracy
that was supposed to have gone down in the
field of battle-insist upon ruling a country
they sought to ruin, there is but one course
left to those in whose hands the public lib
critics have been placed by the people The
course was plainly indicated in the reply of
Speaker Colfax; and he is an idiot, and
worse, who supposes that there is any human
power on this continent that will prevent the
completion of the work it imposes upon the
representatives of the people''

Mr.. Wentworth offered resolution in the
House of Representatives of the United
States, day or two since, to the effect that
the many recent acts of disloyalty in the
Rebel States are additional reasons why they
should pass the Constitutional Amendment
before Congress can consider the propriety
of admitting them. 1t was passed by 119
to 49,
One of these recent acts of disloyalty in
North-Carolina was the election of Judge
Manly to the Senate. Another, was the dec
laration by Gov. Worth in his message that
Congress is an unconstitutional body.

Further from WASHINGTON.

The House select committee to inquire in
to the New Orleans riots and the murder of
three Uunion soldiers in South Carolina will
leave here next week forservice on these
Investigations.
Congress will undoubtedly pass a bill pro-
viding that every Congress shall commence
on the 1st of December. The object is open
ly declared by the radicals to have in effect
a permanent Congress. There is to be no re-
cess, but an adjournment: in such a case, &C
cording to this programme there would be
no recess during which the president could
make appointments requiring the confrma-
ton of the senate According to the present
law no removals can be made during a ses-
sion, until the successor of an incumbent
shall be confirmed.
After an extended discussion on an amend
ment ordering an election in all the States
on the 22d February next, and after provi-
ding in the first section that Congress shall
meet on the 4th of March, the House at three
adjourned till Monday, when the bill again
comes up.
WAsH1NGToN, Dec. 6.-HoUsE.-On mo-

dietary committee was instructed to inquire
into the necessity of further legislationin re-

RALEIGH. n. g.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER g, 1866.
Scene in the House of Commons.

We refer to the proceedings for sketch
this State, yesterday.
Mr.. Russ offered resolutions affirming the
LOYALTY of this State under its present organ
ization, which passed by large majority
Much excitement prevailed during the con-
sideration of the resolutions. Violent and
infiammatory speeches were made by Mr..
Crawford Of Rowan, and Mr.. Russ, of Wake,
against the Unionists of this State, and
against any attempt that may be made to
supersede the present government OF North
Carolina.
Mr.. Blair, of Randolph, offered an amend
ment to the effect that those Southern lead
ers' who fired the Southern heart" and in
volved the country in war, ought not to be
allowed to vote or hold office. The MAORI
ty lodged this by refusing to order the yeas
and nays upon it.
Unionists were Kissed in the Hall when
Mr.. Blair offered his amendment and when
the House refused to order the yeas and
nays
Mr. Blair, Mr.. Lyon, Mr.. Blythe, Mr.. Free
man, and indeed all those Unionists who vo-
ted against the resolution, deserve the thanks
of every patriot for the frmness they dis
played on the occasion.
If any thing had been wanting to make
such action necessary, the scene in the House
on yesterday would have rendered it the i'm
perative duty of the Congress of the United
States at once to sweep the existing State
organization, with its disloyal Legislature,
from existence. We declare. in the most
emphatic terms, that the Legislature of this
State in 1864, during the rebellion,) was a
much more loyal body in sentiment than the
present one.

Posi- OFFICE ROUTES OF THE SOUTH
The net postal receipts from the late insur-
gent States for the year ended 3Oth June last,
were only $75, 1888 less than the liabilities for
the mail service in that section. This is a
small deficit. Previously to the war the pos
tai service in many of the Southern States
was an expense to the government. The
postal service in the South ought to be in
creased.

The Sentinel regrets that action has been
so long deferred by our Legislature on the
Howard amendment. We concur with that
reason why the Legislature should not have
adopted it at once, unanimously.
The Sentinel adds, /" We are ready to sur
render any personal or political feeling to
effect the great object of national tranquility
and Union" That is very pretty express
sion, but unfortunately the facts do not sus-
tain the Editors in making it. The Sentinel
| also adds:
| But we never can vote for the enlarge
ment of the powers of the Federal Govern
ment, or the Congress and Executive, which
| look to the destruction of the old government
as the Howard amendment proposes to do,
or the humiliation and degradation of our
own people. If they are to be DISTINGUISHED,
let Others do it,
To all which we have no particular objec-
ton. 1t is very refreshing however, to hear
the Sentinel and its friends praising " the old
government" Every one knows how they
love the old government" and how they
hate the present one. They went out from
the old mansion five years ago. and labored
to the last moment to fire and destroy it
Since they left, many changes have occurred.
They will condescend to return to it, if the
occupants will beg their pardon for having
left it and sought to destroy it, and if in
addition, they will put every thing in the
mansion in the same condition it was
when they left. This is so kind and reason
able that any thing else would be "humili-
ating and degrading;' and true Confede-
rates." who scorned to "cowardly abandon
the cause of the South" will suffer any thing,
no matter how terrible awful, before they
will obey any will but their own. Never
theless, they submissive as lambs, and
