United States Senator for North-Caro-
Hna---The RebelliOus Spirit of the
South.
North Carolina has just supplied us with
a specimen of the sort of loyalty" that per
yades the South, by the election of Judge NJ.
E. Manly late of the Supreme Court OF that
State to the office of United States Senator.
Judge Manly was an original and malignant
traitor He used his high position on the
bench of the Appellate Court of the State,
the highest judicial tribunal, to foster the
progress of secession and to take North-Car-
olina over to the rebel government. After
the war had commenced he distinguished
himself as the convenient tool of jeff Davis,
deciding in the numerous cases that came
before his court, involving the legality of the
arDstrary acts of the Confederate govern
ment invariably in favor of his master.
Judge Pearson. the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court an upright Judge and at heart
a Union man, stood for the most part alone
in his resistance to the usurpations of the
Jeff Davis administration, Judge Manly be-
ing always against him, and in majority of
instances, taking Judge Battle, weak and
vacillatng man, with him. When the war
ceased and the active rebellion was subdued,
Judge Manly continued a bitter and unyield-
ing traitor. As Il member of the Reconstruc-
ton Convention held at Raleigh in Novcm-
Der, 1865, he opposed the act declaring the
ordinance of secession passed in 1861 null
and void in the past us in the future, and
struggled against the reputation of the rebel
debt. The act recognizing the courts of
the State was introduced in order to get rid
of this malignant traitor and Others who dis
graced the bench of the State, and whose
term of Office, being for life, could not be
otherwise brought to a close. In the Con-
vention he succeeded, with the aid of Judge
Howard, of the Superior Court. in at first
defeating the proposition to repudiate the
rebel debt; but a telegram from President
johnson subsequently induced the conven-
ton to reconsider its action and TO pass the
ordinance of reputation over the heads Of
the sccessionists
The selection of such an unSubdued rebel
for United States Senator proves how futile
1t is to hope for any restoration policy based
upon & healthy sentiment of loyalty at the
South. North-Carolina has been generally
admitted to be less impregnated with seces-
sion than any other State of the late Con-
federacy. 4 large share of her people pro-
fessed to remain at heart true to the Union,
although compelled to give an outward adj
heslon to the rebel government. Many of
her citizens joined the Union army and
fought we'll in the Union cause The admin
istration of JEFF Davis found in North Caro-
lima its most Troublesome enemies: and as
soon as the progress of the federal army re-
claimed that State to the Union the secession
sentiment hid its head, and the community
seemed upon the surface to be earnest in its
loyalty. The action of the North Carolina
Legislature is therefore full of significance
1t shows that tue spirit of the rebellion is
not dead, and that it has only laid aside its
arms to resott to more covert but not less
dangerous means to compass the destruction
OF the Union. 1t has evinced proud and stub
UOIu REORGANIZATION 10 Insult anu OCIy rne
loyal States by forcing into Congress such I'M
washed traitors as this rebel Judge. 1t is
time for Congress to adopt such decisive
policy as the state of the country warrants,
and to put down in reality the rebellion that
still stalks abroad, although it may for the
present keep its revolver and its bowie knife
