ern people to the authority of the National Gov
ernment and whether loyalty is a sentiment that
Is fostered by cruelty and humiliation. We would
beg him to consider before 1t is too late, whether
the revival before the courts of the issues that
have been decided upon the battlefield would
tend to alay or to fan into flames the animosities
That have desolated the land. We would warn
him OF the danger of allowing trial-for acquit-
tai would revive, in ten.fOld Intensity, opinions
that are now set at rest; the decision OF the law
would abrogate that of the sword, while condem-
nation might stimulate frenzied thirst for blood
in the North that no Executive firmness could re-
slst; that, unappeased by one victim, would not
be sated until the South was filed with mourning
for our best and bravest and the temples of JUS
tice converted into dens of Srunkards with the
blood OF princes. For Mt Davis cannot stand
or fall as an individual The doctrines and con
stitutional constructions to which the Confedera-
cy owed its, origin, were not taught us by him,
but were inherited from our ancestors, and would
have worked out their legitimate results had he
never been born; he, in word, was simply our
agent, and conscious of this, we would only see
in his prosecution the spirit of that demonac
Emperour who wished that his whole people had
but one neck for his eXterminating blow. - =
By the simple adherence up to this time to a
just and liberal policy, President johnson has ac-
quired an influence over the Southern people far
surprising that welded by any of his predeces-
sors. He is now strong as no other man has been
before him, because he has won the support of
that section which, sooner or later, must possess
the balance of power. VIII he forfeit all this by
one act of needless severity will he, TO crafty
the brutal passions ofa loomed party, sacrifice the
bright future that now opens before him?
Let him but give freedom to the weary captive,
and the world will echo with the fame of the
Ruler, who, in the face of fanatical opposition,
dared to be generous as well as just. Let him,
catering to the evil passions of the Radicals, al
low Jefferson Davis to be tried, condemned and
murdered, and the nations of the earth will blush
at the blackest deed of human history; and he,
whom release would make the powerless and par
doned representative of an extinct party and a
dead creed, will become IN the eyes of the uni
theme of all posterity, and to avenge whose fate
in blood and fire will be the legacy of sacred duty
that the present, in its weakness, Will leave to
the coming generation, in its strength"

Our cotemporary of the Sentinel is not
pleased with the letters of our old friend
Tony Fulps. He says:
at is disgusting to witness the abortive at
tempts that are being made, in various quarters,
to ape the style of g Bill Arp These wretched
copyists approach the Original about as nearly as
a crossroads wit does the trenchant humor of

We apt to be disgusted with that which
annoys us. Truth hurts most, sometimes,

told about them, but when the truth comes
they vince. We have no doubt of the hon

Fulps is a loyalist. "Bill Arp" has adopt

The USury Law.

We invite the attention of our readers, and
especially of the members of the Legislature,
to the following communication from a
highly intelligent citizen of Buncombe Coun-
ty:-
AsHEvnLE, N. c., Jan. Is, 1866.
Elitors Raleigh Stand rd:
STRs: A recent trip to the North, during which
time mingled with the capitalists of New York
city, as well as my own experience, has satisfied
me that the usury laws of North-Carolina are
highly injurious to the interests of the State
Very many gentlemen of wealth and prominence
in New York city told me that any amouLt of
capital would seek investment in North-C Carolina
if those laws were changed Why should they
not be? Is not money, like all other species Of
merchandise, worth its value in the market p
Common sense answers, yes.
My plan, in brief, is this i: Let the regular rate
of interest be six per cent per annum, to protect
the poor, and then, according to, contract, to at
least as high a rate as ten per cent. My own
opinion is that there should be no limit, but am
willing to yield something to the old prejudice on
this subject The Legislature meets in few
days, and think it will be exceedingly wise to
make the change unless forbidden by our organic
laws. Very truly, your friend, R. B. v.

white Labor.

We copy the following from the Whining
ton Herald, from which it will be seen that
the, first installment of white labor from
abroad has made its appearance at that place.
What our St,,te especially needs at this time
is money and labor. If the colored people
will not labor as they should, they will find
themselves pushed out by white labor:
"a NEW FEAruRE.-Fifty two German emf
grants arrived here to-day, by the steamer Raj
eigh, from New York, in search of employment.
They were very successful in their search, and
were engaged almost before leaving the ship T.
c. Mc1lhenny, Esq, has employed the whole of
them, the men at SIS, and the women at $40 per
month, and will send them out to his plantation,
a few miles from town. for work there as early as
possible This is the first installment of white
labor that has yet arrived at this place for work
in the surrounding country. We hope that it
may not prove the last, as we are confident that
other ventures of this kind made by emigrants
will meet with the same reward and that their
services will be promptly engaged by the land
owners in this section of the State and indeed for
that matter, in many other portions of the State
also. Everybody is getting tired of the negro
IN of holding out inducements for him to work,
which if taken at all, are slowly and reluctantly
complied with. If they (the negroes) will not
work themselves, they must expect to see their
places supplied with another element, and they
themselves will, in course of time, be compelled
TO move on and give place to the indomitable en-
crgy of the white man. Who shall say that in
fifty years from now the genuine southern born
and bred negro as he exists now, will not prove
then as great rarity as the Indians are at this
time"
We notice Short article in the Field d
Fireside calling the name of the Raleigh
daily Standard and asserting that it, the
Standard, must be aware of certain char
acteristic "of diminutive specimens of the,
canine Species" Not having made study
of the subject, the Standard begs leave to be
excused from serving on that committee, or
passing judgment in the matter either for
or against the parties concerned.
But seriously, this allusion to the Standard
was entirely unprovoked, and is characters
tically vulgar. And this provokes us to say,
what we have long thought that the Field
d Fiaeside is an intense humbug 1t adds
nothing to the character of our literature,
but on the contrary detracts from it. The
reputation of our State TOR learning and good
taste in the field of literature, is lowered by
Just such sheets as the Field & Firesids.

The EFFECT OF MARRIAGE
Doubtless you have remarked with
satisfaction, how the little oddities
Of men who marry rather late in life
are pruned away speedily after mar
rage. You have found a man VINO
used to be shabbily dressed, with
a huge shirt collar, frayed at the
edges, and glazing yellow silk
pocket handkerchief, broken OF these
things, and become pattern OF neat
ness. You have seen a man whose
hair and whiskers were ridiculously
cut, speedily become like other hui
man beings. You have seen a man
who took snuff copiously, and who
generally had his breast covered
with snuff, abandon the vile habit.
A wife is the grand wielder OF the
moral pruning knife. If Johnson's
wife had lived, there would have
been no boarding up of bits of orange
peel; 10 touching all the posts in
walking along the street; no eating
and drinking with a disgusting vor-
acity. If Oliver Goldsmith had
married, he would never have worn
that ridiculous coat. Whenever you
find a man whom you know little
about, oddly dressed, or talking ridic-
ulously, or exhibiting eccentriclty OF
manner, you may be sure he is not
a married man. For the little cor
ners are rounded of, the little shoots
are pruned away in married men.
The wife's advice is the tiller that
keeps the Snip steady. They are
like the wholesome, though painful,
shears, nipping off the little growths
of self conceit and folly.-FTom Fra
sier's Magazine.
