For the Standard
Union Meeting at Chalk Level, Forsvth
County N. C.
On the 18th inst, there was mass meo.
ing of the loyal citizens held at Chalk I,evoI
in Forsyth County, to celebrate the-annivor'
sary of Johnson's raid, or exodus of TTnio,,
men to the u. s. forces. The MEETING yn.
composed of the best citizens of the conptrn
1t was called to order by DR.. J. L. Job9
son, who explained the object of the assen,
bly,, and introduced Col. w. F. Henderson,
to the audience.
Col. Henderson addressed them at Some
length, advocating the adoption of the How.
ard amendment as the surest road back 70
the Union. He appealed to the people r.
elect no man to the Legislature unless thew
were satisfied of his loyalty-to vote for Cen
Dockery for governor. He referred to tho
results of the late war, and the grand IT,;
umphs achieved by the Union men of tho
nation. He also spoke of the present do
pIorable condition of our own State finance.
and held that the people should not now
be cruely pressed by taxes or for debts
Otherwise the bulk of our real estate wonI1
pass into the hands of capitalists. Let ms
tice be exercised in mercy, and the Old North
State would soon recover her former prond
position in the Union of the States.
Mr.. E B. league, of Forsyth, then adj
dressed the audience. He also endorsed tho
Howard amendment
the meeting were rendered to Col. Hender-
son for his able speech, when the meeting
adjourned ONE OF THE CROWD.

The Raleigh Sentinel wishes US to explain
| by what method the States can regulate mat
| tiers to suit themselves, after they adopt the
Howard amendment.
In the outset we are disposed to take a
hopeful view of the case, rather than pre-
judicial one, as, in the condition we are in,
we might go farther and fare worse. We
would accept the Howard amendment hope
fully, as de1mier resort, because it strikes us
the interests of the South as well as her honor
and manhood, should be consulted at this
time.
Negro suffrage, and the acknowledgements
of "rebels," we believe, are the features in
the amendment considered most objection
able.
In the first place, we contend, that it does
not force negro suffrage upon the South, but
leaves it with the States, as will be seen in
section I'd of the amendment. The disfran-
chisement clause, or disability to hold Office
may be removed by Congress, at any time.
Secondly, we look upon the Howard
amendment as one of the terms prescribed
for re-admission into the Union, with the
rights and privileges enjoyed by the North
ern and Western States.
We should hasten the day, or at least
throw no impeachment in the way, for read
mission. When the Southern States are rep
resented in Congress, our members, in con-
junction with Northern conservatives and
moderate Republicans, can change. or
check the present tendency of affairs, and
then the restored States may regulate their
own affairs. But delays are dangerous. This
amendment rejected or action thereupo4 de-
layed, may subject us to much more serious
Inconvenience and longer suffering, as. the
Republican papers and orators plainly tell US.
Once fully restored, we can qualify suffrage,
under the Howard amendment.
There may be other requirements to our
re-adm1ssion-but we are certain the How
ard amendment is one step in that direction,
and may secure our representation in Con-
gress, and other benefits will follow.
We have repeatedly asserted that the
Howard amendment is no great favorite with
us, it is not our first choice but we prefer it
to something infinitely worse with which we
are threatened.-SaIena Press

RADICAL MEETNG.-The New York Times
of Monday, tell the South not to be obstinate
and reject the terms of admission to repre-
sentation proposed in the Constitutional
Amendment, and in another column has the
following:
THE MASS MEETING.-The Radical Re
publican meeting at Cooper Institute last
evening was very successful The hall was
crowded till scarcely a foot ofstanding room
was left unoccupied, and five or six thous-
and people gathered about the outside
stands. The principal addresses were deliv-
cred by Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, ex-Vice
President, and Senator Wilson, of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was noticeable feature of the
assemblage that the more roOzicaE the utter
orces of these Thoroughly Radical orators the
greater the applause and enthusiasm OF ecr0ood.
The sentiment uttered by Mr.. Hamlin to the
effect that while he recognized that the Sou
them States We're much in the Union as
ever for all purposes oftaxation, &C., they
could not be represented in Congress until
Congress chose to admit the men they sent, was
received with great cheering and cries Of "keep
them out"

The ssRed Strings to be Indicted!


The large vote cast for Gen. Dockery at
High Point has SO provoked the Editors of
the Sentinel, the organ of Gov. Worth, that
it says:
'The vote at High Point,-th only pre-
cinct abroad, as far as ascertained wher,
Gen. Dockery has obtained larger vot,,
than Gov. Worth, confirms tire suspicion,
heretofore generally entertained, of the &C
tive existence of the cred String7 and 9TH
er secret organizations in the State,-socie-
ties which we believe to be reasonable to the
Constitution and preiudicial to the quiet and
peace of the State It would be well for the
grand juries to look into this natter
The 4" Red Strings" as they are called,
are simply the HEROES OF AMERICA. We
do not belong to this Order, but we are
posted in relation to it. Mr.. Lincoln was a.
member of the Order. Gen. Grant is menu
Der of it. Andrew johnson is member of
of the mountains by Confederate troops, he
was aided by members of this Order, and
perhaps owes his life to them. Many of the
Union Generals and other officers are mem
bers of it. There are, probably, ten thou
sand HEROES OF AMERICA in this State
They have their signs, grips, and passwords,
Ike the Know Nothings, to which the Edi-
tors of the Sentinel used to belong. They
are unconditional Union men and patriots
That is all. Instead of being traitors to the
Union, they are among the best friends the
Union has in the State.
The organ of Gov. Worth wants them in
dicted. During the rebellion Gov. Vance.
the Senior Editor of the Sentinel, and other
rebels, denounced them as traitors to the
Confederacy; now they are traitors to the
Union! How can that be? Gov. Vance
and the Senior Editor of the Sentinel signal
lied themselves by prosecuting and impris-
oning these very "Red Strings" during the
rebellion. Now they want them indicted.
This, of itself, proves that /" the Confedera-
cy" still exists in this State in every thing,
except its forms. Try it, gentlemen try
it, if you dare! The loyal men of this State
aoiU make short aoOrk Of you, IF 9tou attempt
to indict them on account Of their U7sionssm
We dare you to try it. You viii be crushed
as you deserve if you lift finger against
these HEROES.

PAPER MILL-Messrs. L. w. Glazebrook
and VIM. B. Allegree have bought out the
interest of Mr.. Nat Tyler in the paper mill
near Forestville, in this county, and intend
to make it a first class establishment. This
is the largest mill of the kind in the South,
and we are satisfied that the gentlemen
above named will manage it in the most eff
fcient and successful manner. The paper on
which the Standard is printed is manutac-
tured at this mill. Our readers see that it is

The Texas House of Representativesha re-
jected the Howard amendment by vote of
81 to 5. 80
Texas is still true to our beloved Confed-
eracy.n Mississippi also Gov Humphreys
of the latter State, in his late message to the
Legislature, says
GAS the Chief Magistrate of the State 1
have sedulously avoided all collision with
Federal powers, and have yielded obedient
acquiescence in every case of usurpat1on and
wrong inflicted upon our citizens by Federal
authority. Our people are wearied of war,
its desolation and its vandalism; they have
returned to their allegiance to the Constitu-
ton of the United States They now seek
for peace, it's quiet and security, by submis-
sion tv its power. They have nobly met and
heroically performed their duties and respon-
sibilities, and proudly conscious of rectitude,
they transmit to posterity and history the
record of the past without blush of contri-
| ton or dishonor.
| Though our voice cannot be heard nor our
rights respected in the adjustment of our
federal relations, many questions present
| themselves for our consideration and action
as citizens of the State, that may affect our
| condition as citizens in the Union. Promi-
nent among them is the amendment propos-
ed by Congress as No. IA, which, at the re-
quest of the honorable Secretary of State,
VIM. HI. Seward, 1 herewith report for your
action. This amendment adopted by Con-
gress of less than three-fourths of the States
of the Union, in palpable violation of the
rights of more than one-fourth of the States,
is such an insulting outrage and denial of
the equal rights of so many of our worthiest
citizens who have shed lustre and glory up
on our section and our race, both in the TO-
rum and in the field, such a gross usurpation
e Al g ~
tralization of power in the Federal Govern
ment, that presume mere reading of it
will cause its rejection by you"
Gov. Humphreys thinks negro testimony
should be admitted in all cases, but he holds
that the freedmen are not entitled to bear
arms. He says:
"Public justice to both races demands the
admission ofnegro testimony in all cases
brought before the civil and criminal Courts.
Now that the negro has shown confiding
and friendly disposition toward the white
race, and desire to engage in the pursuits
of honest labor, justice and honor demand of
us full protection to his person and property,
real and personal. Firearms are not essen
tial to his protection of property or his hap
piness, and society should be guarded by re-
qulring him to procure license to carry
them-a privilege he can always secure,
where his character for good conduct and
honesty is known"
Gov. Humphreys is an ex-Confederate
General. President johnson pardoned him
into the gubernatorinal chair. Before he
could get his pardon he was obliged to say
that he regretted what he had done to de-
stroy the government. He n0U says he has
no contrltion" for what he did He boasts
of his treason. The President should re-
move him instantly from his place.

We find telegraphed to the Northern pa
pers statements of large Conservative major
tiles, at such places, for example, as Whining
ton We find dispatch in the New York
Times, dated Raleigh, which says, "The in
dications are that Worth will have an over
whelming majority. Dockery's vote is very
slim. Vance received several votes in va
rious parts of the State" All this is calcu-
lated to mislead. Nearly the entire vote for
Worth at Wilmington, as elsewhere, was
Destructive. That is it was cast by persons
who did all they could to destroy the gov
eminent, who stubbornly refuse to aid in re-
storing the government, and who would re-
joice to see the government go to pieces
Again, Gen. Dockery was not candidate,
and Gov. Worth's vote will be less by five
thousand than it was last November. Even
the telegraph lines seem to have fallen into
the hands of the Destructives.

Worth's majority.

Worth's majority. 5,942
The whole vote polled was $780, The
vote polled at the recent election will scarce
ly reach $4,000. There were at least 4O, 1000
votes unpolled. Gov. Worth's vote will prob
ably be from three to five thousand less than
it was last November
The Unionists of the State had no cahdi-
date for Governor, though in many localities
Gen. Dockery has received a handsome vote
We think it highly probable that if he had
taken the field and stumped the State. unem-
barrassed by the Howard amendment, he
would have been elected. There was no en-
thusiasm for Gov. Worth He has been bea-
ten largely in his own County, Randolph,
where he is best known, and the people of
which are almost unanimously for the Union.
His highest votes have been obtained i'll the
old secession Counties. This shows who
and where he is politically.
