To the Colored Citizens Of North Carolina to
assemble in CongentiOn, at Raleigh, in Oc
tober:
GENTLEMEN In 1865, when I sat in
Convention with you, I esteemed it the
proudest moment of my life to be thus asso-
ciated with such men, and engaged in such
a work. In the formation of the State Equal
Rights League, you did me the honor of
making me Secretary. This enjoins it upon
me to be present at the first Annual meeting
of the League, or at the Convention.
I regret very much that circumstances
above my control prevents my attendance
But, gentlemen, you may be well assured
that if absent in person, 1 am not in spirit.
My heart longs to be with you-not because
of the high estimate 1 place upon my SER
vices, but because I am interested, soul and
body, in the good work you meet to per-
form.
The Convention of last year did noble
work, notwithstanding all of us, on our re-
turn home to our constituents, did not re-
ceive the welcome plaudit of "well done,
good and faithful servants" But all was not
completed. There still remains vast deal
to do.
1t is claimed by some that we now have
equal rights in law. How far this is true,
you must decide. If you should find it true,
then you must consider the extent of our
political rights. The education of our peo-
pie should form an important item in your
deliberations; and the laboring interests of
our people must not be forgotten. Our peo-
pie must be taught to confide in each other,
and assist each other; the lack of this is do
ing destructive work among US. And they
must learn, also, men and women, that the
richest treasure modern times afford, is spot
less reputation"
1t must be remembered that these are pc
culiar times in which we live, and in all
your counsel and deliberations, show your
selves 90 as harmless as doves, but as wise as
serpents," to the end that we all may be
benefited, and peace and goodwill prevail.
May the presence of God be with you, and
His wisdom direct you, that your duties
may be performed with honor to yourselves,
and profit to the State and country.
Respectfully,
JOHN RANDOLPH. JR.

Mr.. JAMES E. OHARA:
SIR: I have received yours of this date in.
viting me to address the Convention of col
ored persons of which you are Secretary,
now assembled at the African Church in this
City for the purpose of promoting the cause
of education amongst their race. You as
sumo very truly, that am a friend to your
race
I could not be otherwise so long as 1 may
be regarded as fellow creature of the race
of man; and l am a warm friend to educa-
eaton everywhere
Owing to my pressing engagements in
highly important cases on trial or about to
be tried in the Superior Court of Wake
County, now in session, it will be not only
announcement, but really impossible for me to
be present at your Convention.
Allow me, however, to express my plea
sure, that your race are striving by peaceful
means to elevate themselves in the grade of
humanity.
The best means of doing this you can as
readily appreciate as any one. They are
universally acknowledged to be, industry,
and education both moral and religious
That idleness is the parent of all vice is an
adge as old as time; and it requires but the
observation of day to verify this truth,
whether among the one race or the other.

Needy Women.

A new trouble has turned up; or
rather new way of its development.
For the information we are indebted to
an earnest article going the rounds,
credited to a religious journal. Our
pure minds would never have discover
ed it. 1t appears that the women have
taken to rounding out their forms with
bags of seed, the specific ovule in this
case being the seed fed to canary birds,
which it is said has caused an imitation
in the price of bird seed. At the risk of
exciting the market of painters oil we
suggest that fax seed would be still bet
ter.
The religious journal thus describes
this new danger:
at seems by the manner of its use it
will deceive the most wary. 1t is said
to be inclosed in small bags adapted to
the proper size and shape, and attached
in some peculiar way to the undercloth-
ing, so that at the motion of the body
the bagged bird seed moves so as to re-
semble very much the living flesh"
Ifit deceives "the most wary" what
chance is there for the simple, confding
and credulous, who take every female
seeming for TRUTH Should not those
who are most wary in these concerns
give to the unsophisticated the benefit
of their experience and skill in detect
ing these counterfeit presentments Of
female charmsi 1t would seem also that

rate of recantation, we expect him
shortly to repent of all his errors and
join with us in heartily advocating the
Mayors reelection. And, by way of
fastening that repentance, we would
like to ask him, confidentially of course,
whether he was not just little impru-
dent in charging Mr. SWEENEY with
having made deficient return to the
assessor of taxes. If he thinks not, we
will endeavor to show him at some fu-
ture time that, by alluding to this sub
ject, he has "put his foot in it" as badly
as before. We will allow him a few
days for reflection. If he is not, by this
time, heartily ashamed of the slanders
contained in his article Of yesterday
morning, he is certainly more shameless
than some Of his friends have heretofore
believed him to be. We know of more
than one of his party associates who
consider his assaults upon Mayor SwEE-
NgY's reputation as citizen and man
outrageous and despicable beyond ex
preston. We will not dignity the
charges he has made by offering de-
nial. The people of Wheeling will
make all the reply that is necessary, by
their votes in the next municipal elec-
ton.

The National Debt.

The radicals in Congress still have IN
eye to the "main chance" and are piously
opposed to anything that may work
detriment to the plentitude of their
p ockets. The bill for the assemblingof
the Fortieth Congress on the 9TH OF
March 1867 was u very shrewd dodge
for securing to the reelected
members few hundred dollars
mileage for trips home and back which
were never performed. Of q piece with
the same class of legislation was the re-
cent tabling of resolution directing
that no more government bonds be is
sued unless made subject to tax
alton like any other property.
The taxation clause didn't 60 down
with the men who had invested
their extra pay" in Government bonds
and SO the proposition was incontinent-
ly strangled. While the laboring
classes all over the country are
groaning under the burdens Of Fed
eral taxation which the payment
of the national debt has rendered neces-
sary, these men who are every day
squandering millions of the public
money not only refuse to permit the
bonds of the government already is
sued to bear their proper share of
taxation, but are unwilling to permit
those hereafter put forth to contribute
to the ultimate liquidation of the na-
tional debt.

Exit Military ConlIni.sions.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered its final decision
against the authority of courts martial
or military commissions to try citizens
for offenses committed remote from the
theatre of war and in districts where
the process of civil courts is unobstruct-
ed. The decision is complete justifi-
cation of the course pursued by the
Democratic party in denouncing and op-
posing these mock trials during the
late war, and it stamps with the ap-
proval of the highest court in the
land what, few years ago, was called
"copperheadism," "disloyalty" and
treason" We all remember the time
when it was even dangerous for any
man to question the legality of these
Military Commissions for the trial of
persons not connected with the military
service, and the so-called 'loyalists'
were never moved to deeper wrath than
when some man who revered the Con-
stitutiun of the United States dared TO
protest, he it ever so mildly, against
the system which has just been officially
declared to be without the sanction of
law. No American citizen can avoid
feeling some degree of humiliation when
he remembers that, with the sanction of
the War Department of the Federal
government, these illegal tribunals
have. i'll some instances, condemned
citizens to death, and, in many cases,
inflicted the most rigorous and cruel
Imprisonment that brutality could con-
ceive. The decision of the Supreme
Court, declaring that these things were
in violation Of the fundamental law of
the land, is very satisfactory to those
who, at the peril Of their lives,
protested against military despotism
during all the dark days of the civil
war. but it cannot restore to life the
victims who were illegally put to death,
nor erase from the memory of thousands
the bitter recollection of the horrors of
incarceration in a military prison"
The decision will probably secure our
countrymen from a repetition of these
wrongs, but it cannot blot from our
history . bloody page which every lover
of his country would be glad to have
erased.

A Happy Occasion.

A gay and brilliant throng, composed
Of the elite and fashion of our city, was
that which last evening participated in
the festivities accompanying the mar
riage of our gallant young friend, Major
E.W. STEVENS, of New Castle, Penna.,
to Miss ANNIE p, daughter of NJ. u. Cox,
Esq, of this city. The bridal ceremony
vas performed in beautiful and impress
sive manner by Rt. Rev. r. V. WHELAN,
Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling.
His address to the happy pair, whose
destinies he united, was extremely
touching and appropriate. At the con-
clusion of the solemn services the
young couple were greeted with the
warmest congratulations of their many
friends who had assembled to witness
the ceremony of their union. The
grace and dignity with which the bride
received the good wishes and compli-
mentary greetings of her admiring
guests, were the subject ofgeneral COM
mendation. All remarked the gentle
courtesy and elegance of manner which
she so charmingly displayed upon the
happy occasion.
We regret that We can only speak in
! general terms of the various elements
which combined to make the reception
last evening one Of the grandest events
in the social history of our city. The
splendid costumes, the matchlcss
beauty of fair faces and bright eyes,
and the brilliant interchanges of
wit and sentiment that adorned and en-
| livened the occasion, were well fitted to
produce an impression long to be re-
tanned, and those who witnessed the
festivities will ever remember them as
among the most imposing in the expert
ence of our fashionable society. Old and
young, grave and gay, seemed to exert
themselves to make the evening bright
and happy in its auspices for the young
pair who bear from our midst the best
and warmest wishes that friendship can
feel or sincerity utter. May the future of
their lives bring to them no event less
happy than the omens which smiled
upon the union Of their destinies.
