The Congressional Committee.

This Committee, it will be remembered
was appointed some days ago. for the purpose
Of following upon the heels of Generals Stead
man and Fullerton, who were appointed by
the President, to examine and report the facts,
which might come under their notice, in rela-
ton to the abuses and NAL practice in the adj
ministration of the Freedmen's Bureau. We
believe the Committee is not yet fully made
up, but it is expected it will soon leave for
the South, probably next week, on their mis-
sion to examine into the affairs of the Freed
mems Bureau, aud to make their report tc
Congress . A.,-a y.la-asaI
When General Steadman was in this city
some weeks ago, on similar mission, we be-
lieve several of our citizens called upon him
with whom he interchanged views.
The Congressional Committee will, no doubt,
shortly arrive in this city, and if truth is
their object, it is to be hoped that they will
not be content with negro testimony, but in
vite, as General Steadman did, an expression
OF the views Of our more prominent citizens.
II thus invited, we hope they will not hest
tate to give them freely. .s F
The appointment of this Committee by
Congress, evidently discloses want of con.
hdence in Generals Steadman and Fullerton
and It is regarded by some, that the report o.
the Congressional Committee is calculated
upon by the Radical friends of the Bureau, te
counterfeit the report of the committee of two
who, we believe, have their authority exclu-
sively from the President. Thus the war be-
tween the President and the Radical majority
m Congress is carried into the affairs Of ths
Freedmens Bureau. Sc

The Late george Edmund Badger.

This distinguished citizen of North Caro-
lima breathed his last in the city of Raleigh.
He was born in Newbern, on the 18th oil
April, 1895, and at the time of his death was
upwards of seventy-one years OF age ne
commenced his collegiate studies at 1aie ool-
lege, but was unable, owing to pecuii"iJ
ability, to remain there. t's nd
He came to the bar at an early age, ana
took position with such men as UAsroN' iNh,
DELL. GRAHAM, CAMERON, WILSON, ana
On arriving at tweuty-one, he was elected
- H. legislature from his native town, and
~ tho ooe of twenty-five he was elevated to
- nos;tion in the Superior Court. This
POSITION he held during the space of five
p ,,oora and was distinguished for his fearless
ard impartial, as we'll as profoundly inteli-
cent administration of the law. In 1925 he
resigned this position and resumed the prac-
tice of his profession. e t|.t
He was made Secretary of the Navy under
the administration of General Harrison, upon
whose death he soon after resigned. A vacan-
cy in the Senate of the United States having
occurred, by the resignation of Mr.. HAYWOOD,
he was elected to fill the vacancy, and re-
elected in 1848, for the term Of six years. He
was also a member of the State Convention
which passed the ordinance of secession. He
did not hold the doctrine of secession, but
united with the people, aud was true to the
Southern Confederacy He was an eloquent
speaker, deep logcian, and profound jul
rist Among such men as Clay, Webster,
Calhoun, Clayton, Mangum, Bell, Corwin,
Douglas, johnson, Davis, Cass, Buchanan,
Berrien, Benton, he was regarded as logically
profound.
Hisinfuence in the Senate was felt and ac-
knowledged--so much so that this body
passed unanimous resolution of regret
when it learned that the Legislature of bis
State had concluded not to continue him as
one of its representatives. He was frank
and courteous in his manners and sincere in
his friendships and opinions. He was social,
hospitable, aud generous-fond of converse
ton in which he excelled. He had several
attacks of paralysis under the last of which,
he shortly expired. The war had reduced
him from a state of comparative af1uence, to
one in which his means were much contrac-
ted. He was man Of genius-brilliant as
an orator, profound as jurist, able and pa
triotic as statesman, and above all a chris
tan gentleman Such is the estimate of the
authority to which we are indebted for the
facts of this condensed sketch. .l+

Messrs J. s. Whitaker & Co., the enter

informed that when he was presented with
the test oath, and told that he must take ii
before entering on the discharge of his con-
tract, he positively refused to take it, saying
that he could not do so honestly-he had
been friend to the Confederacy. The radi-
calls sometimes declare that the negroes are
the only loyal people in the South, but the
Southern people believe that, during the
war, the colored people were about as loya

PAINFUL ACeIDENT.--Iti is with unaffected
pain that we announce the unhappy death.by
accident, of GEORGE, son of HENRY WALES
Esq, cashier Of the Merchants and Mechan-

only eight years old, and was remarkable for
his fine temper and appearance. He met his
death about o'clock this morning, in the
following manner Attracted By bits of ice
which had fallen from car loaded with this
freight, he crept beneath the train. and when
it was put in motion, attempted, it is sup
posed, to escape. The result was instant
death. We trust that his bereaved parents
may be able in their passion of grief. to re-
member the blessed words of our Lord and
! Saviour, and to find comfort in the reflection
that "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"

"Meet US at the fair tonight,
Where all is beautiful and gay,
Where festive lamps are shining bright,
And eyes are brighter far than they: t
Where taste and fashion have combined
Their treasures to enchant the sight,
Where all is graceful and re6ned,-
Meet US at the fair tonight,
Meet US at the fair tonight.
at is a sweet enchanted spot,
Bedecked with wreaths and garlands brig ht,
By beautys gentle fingers wrought:
The gems Of art-fair natures flowers
and all that can the soul delight,
Are gathered in its fairy bowers
Then meet us at the fair tonight.
Come to the festival tonight,
1t is the season of the year
When love and friendship take delight
In tokens and memorial dear,
Then as we meet in converse sweet,
Our hearts fond pledges we may plight
In cheerful mood, while doing good
Then meet us at the fair tonight"

JAMES G. WHITE Eso.-We understand
that this gentleman, who was recently elected
to the office of Mayor of the city of Ports
mouth, has been suspended from the further
performance of the duties of this position by
President JOHNSON. During the time Mr..
WHITE has discharged the functions of the
office, he has given general satisfaction and
as an evidence of his administrative talent,
the city has been unusually quiet and free.
The reason of his suspension is owing, we
presume, to his failure to ask and receive a
pardon. The minority party opposed to him
have taken advantage of this, and have ulti
mately succeeded in ousting him, for the time,
against the wishes Of a majority of the citi
zens who elected him.
That Mr. WHITE has not applied for a
pardon, is to be accounted for by the fact that
the United States District Attorney advised
him that such proceeding was not necessary.
When this fact is stated in the proper quar-
ter, we have no doubt the action taken in
this case will be reversed In the meantime,
we have no objection to a general amnesty
which would relieve our citizens of these petty
vexatons. but, until that time, let us wait
with dignity for the restoration of our rights.
