Congress-.

We give to-day summary of the proceed
ings OF Congress on Monday and Tuesday.
1t will be seen that that body has made
good beginning. The lake has been laid
at the root of the tree" OF secession and trea-
son, and We trust it will be taken up and
used until the tree, and even the roots, shall
have been extirpated. It has j" numbered
the ground too long already. .
The tone of Congress, we are rejoiced to
see, is eminently national. We trust this tone
may be maintained, and that suitable action
may result from it.

There are no truer UnioLists than those of
the South. We trust our Northern friends
and the Congress Will bear this fact in mind.
1t was an easy and profitable thing to be
Union man in the Northern States during
the rebellion; but Southern Unionists had
to maintain their prineiples-and they did
maintain them-against the bayonet, the
dungeon, and expressions and contumey of
all kinds. Traitors are demanding their
rights" Loyal men only ask for projection
and for permanent civil government ON loyal
basis. 1t can not be that loyal and patri-
otto Congress will disregard this request.

GRAPEs.-A writer in the Eastern part
OF this State to the Petersburg Erpress, says
In Chowan county met with Mr.. Cherry
and Jos. Cannon. two of the largest growers
of grapes in this part of North Carolina. II
is said that Mr.. Cannon was offered $12, OOO
for his grapes the purchaser to gather them.
While do not credit the report, it is very
apparent that the cultre of the grape is the
most lucrative business that our people can
pursue. In the district of Columbia piece
of land was pointed out to me that was then
set out in vines. 1t was very poor, situated
on the side of hill, and yet the purchaser
gave $1,000 per acre for it. The first crop
of grapes showed the good sense and SOUND
judgment of the winner, and proved remun-
erative. Far better lands can be bought IN
North Carolina for So an acre, and our soils
the natural home of the grape. Amateurs
may be gratified to know that Mr.. Cannon
has a new variety of grape, which he pro-
nounces the best in the world, or at least the
best that he has ever seen. 1t is called the
Mish grape. The demand for it is very great
far exceeding the supply. think it is na-
tive Seeding.

A PENITENTIARY.-Gov. Worth, in his
late Message to the Legislature, recommends
the building of a Penitentiary in this State.
Our opinion about the matter will not infiu
ence the action of the Legis nature one way or
the other, but we merely w: int to say that we
do not agree with the Cove rnor.
First, we are opposed to this scheme be-
cause it will require larger amount of mon
ey to erect the buildings an put the estab
lishment in operation than the people can
spare in their present impo7 erished condi
ton. The Governor acknowledges that the
people are barely able to pay their present
taxes, and many are entirely unable to pay
their debts, yet he makes Communications
that will certainly increase taxation.
Second we are opposed to building Pen
itentiary because we think it will increase
crime by diminishing the terror OF our pres
ent modes of punishment to evil doers.-
There are thousands of worthless characters
who have no visible habitatit IN means of
making a living, and who wo uld not fear to
commit crime if they knew th;st confinement
in the Penitentiary, where they might learn
a trade and get well fed and clothed. was
the only punishment to be infiict ed. Hang
ing and whipping are the best me ans to di-
minish crime and lessen the numb er of evil
doors.
Third, we are opposed to bringi ng crimi-
nal or pauper labor into competition with
itenitary was erected, of course various me-
chanical branches would be carried on, and
the work would be thrown on the market in
competition with that of highly u seful and
respectable class of our population--the Inc
chanics If the State goes into the business
of learning criminals trades and the manu-
facture of harness, saddles, boots, shoes, &c,
our present class of mechanics who nssnufac-
ture such articles would soon be obliged to
quit their trades and go at something else to
support themselves and families.
Fourth, we do not think the Legislature
ought to sanction the recommendation, be-
cause the question has heretofore been sub
mitted to the people and an overwhelming
majority voted against Penitentiary.
Besides the expenses of erecting the build
ings, purchase of machinery, &C., it would,
require heavy annual appropriation for a.
few years at least to keep the establishment
up. 1t is very doubtful whether it would
ever pay expenses Charlotte Democrat.

:. sCHEMING WAITE AGAIN.

We have just been informed of a nice little
arrangement to GUST our present District
Judge from his position, and to provide a
successor in the person of Judge Waite. As
the people of the Secoud Judicial District
have some interest inthis matter, we think
its exposure called for. That such a change
would be distastefal to the people and the
bar we do not hesitate to affirm, and that it
has the sanction of any considerable portion
of even Waite's own party, we as confidently
deny.
We are informed by gentleman who spent
some time at Washington last winter, that
Waite, though nominal political friend of
Judge Mcbride, did, through some sort of
friendly association in former years with
Hon O. H. Browning. now SecretaryTof the
Interior, endesvor to effect his removal, for
the parpose of securing his place. He now
claims with great confidence that he will sue
coed. Feeling that the substitution of such
a man as Waite for the present incumbent
would be an imposition and outrage on 8
people already soreIy afflicted with incompe-
tent and detested Federal officials, we enter
their solemn protest against this last scheme
of restless politician. Judge Mcbride is no
friend of ours, but he has discharged his
duties in a manner which has won the conf
dence and respect of all and when we see
an attempt made 10 set aside an impartial
and competent official and put in his place a
petty political trickster, who, in every attempt
at preferment, has been squelched by his own
party friends, we feel that the scheme should
Mcbride is Republican, he is no brawling
politician or partisan, and confines himself to
his official duties and as we must have a
man of his political faith on the bench of the
Chief Justice, we, and the people of this Dis
trict, desire no change. In this we but utter
The sentiments of respectable men of all par
ties, unless it be the little knot of personal
.adherents of Judge Waite, who have no more
influence on the general sentiment of the bar
and the public than the existence of bubble
on the current of a river. The people of
Idaho have suffered a good deal from the APP
pointment of unworthy and incompetent
Federal officers, but such a visitation as the
one threatened by Waite would be calamity
only equalled by the reign of Aleck Smith.
From such Judge may the good Lord de-
liver as.
