RAPHAEL SEMMEs is not so success
ful in his efforts to publish a newspa-
per in Mobile as he was in robbing
and burning unarmed merchant YES

paper, the Mobile Gazette, is not pat
ronized as it ought to be, and that if
the people Of Mobile do not extend a
helping hand it will be suspended.
SEMMEs claims that his paper is a
representative paper, yet complains
that it does not get its share of the
advertisements. Truly, an admirable
story! va

In publishing the report Of n meet
ing Of the employees of the National
Printing Establishment last week, we
took occasion to refer to Hon. JoHN
d. DEFREEs, Of Indiana, in terms Of
commentator. We were not aware
at the time that his friends were
thinking of presenting his name to
the next Legislature as candidate
for the office Of United States Senator.
1t will be seen by a communication
on the second page, that he il
mentioned in that connection. The
author is one Of our most prominent
and active Republicans, who knows
Mr.. DEGREES qualifications well, and
whose views are worthy of considera-
ton.
II is we'll. known that we we're, dur
ing the campaign, and have been
since, committed to the election of
Governor MORTON. But we are not
blind TO the claims Of other distin-
guished Indianians, who would fill
the position with honor and useful
ness 20 their constituents, among
whom we are proud to name, john
d. DEGREES. We can endorse all
that our correspondent says, in refer
ence to his capacity and fitness for the
high office, and the claims which he
has upon the Republican party, for a
life of devotion to its principles, and
if it is the intention to present his
name to the Legislature, he will be
able to rally TO his support number
Of long-tried and influential friends.

From Washington.

Our Washington dispatches furnish
the gratifying intelligence that the
President, who, it would seem, is not
quite satisfied with the progress he
has made in the work Of reconstruc-
ton, has wisely determined to leave
that question, hereafter, in the hands
of Congress, and not TO attempt again
bis old role Of factious opposition to
that department Of the Government.
The President further commits
himself to faithful execution of the
laws passed by Congress over the
Executive veto, and intimates that
the decapitation of Republican office
holders has reached its terminal point.
The plan Of reconstruction on the
basis of " impartial suffrage and gen.
eral amnesty " is receiving the serious
consideration of the Presidential
mind.
He refers to his letter to Governor
SSHARKEY, as expressing his senti-
ments on impartial suffrage" and
declares himself still in favor thereof.
On the question of general amnes-
ty, the mind of his Excellency is not
fully decided, and he wisely refrpins
from committing himself thereon I'M
til the matter has been duly weighed.
Ifthe result Of bis cogitations on
these grave questions should be an
effort to conform his future course to
the wishes of the people, as express
ed in the recent elections, and an
honest cooperation with their repre-
sentatives, the friends of the Union
will be as much surprised as gratifed.

Gross OUTRAGE IN LENoIR.-We learn
from the Goldsboro' Meas that VIM. r.
Loftin, six miles from Kinston, was attacked
on the night of the 2Sth ult., by twelve or
fifteen mounted men of both colors purpose
supposed to be horse-stealing. Loftin was
shot in the arm, and negro living with
him was shot in the face. Several of the
robbers were wounded and driven of, leav-
ing horse and coat, which may cause the
capturing of some Of the party.
DR.. Bartleson's house and out-houses were
also burned, and he was shot several times
It is supposed that the same party was con-
cefned in both outrages.
We learn that at the late term of the Supe-
rior Court for Lcnoir there were many pre-
sentiments and indictments by the grand
jury. In the case of Mr.. Perkins, of Wayne,
for an attempt to rob and murder him, the
jury failed to agree, and there was mistrial.
Crime seems to he on the increase in Lee
noir. On the night of the Oath April a man
named james Laurie was robbed of his
pocket book and watch. near Kinston, by
some negroes. Recently the gin house of R.
w. King, Esq, was fired by an incendiary
and consumed, with cotton screw, cotton
seed, corn, &c. 81

The Grecnsborough Patriot did Mr. Dick
injustice in one of its recent issues, and we
took occasion to correct that journal from the
record. We showed that Mr.. Dick, so far
from having done what that journal charged,
had pursued a totally different course. We
took it for granted the Patriot would correct
its misstatement. It declines to do so, and
insists in substance that its statement as to
Mr.. Dicks course is true, when the official
record is the other way.
The Patriot was at one time truthful, re
liable paper. But since it was bitten by the
secession snake it cvinccs neither moderation
nor regard for truth.
By the way, the Patriot contains some very
fine poetry, a specimen Of which we give be-
low. Our readers will be able to form some
idea from this specimen, of the. literary
character of the Patriot:
my country dear, to her I'll lend
All the help have and can;
And her banners I'll defend
And. johnson is the man.
We have man to rule our State,
And all he would embOlden
To stand firmly and risk their fate
That man is not Bill Holden.
Bill Holden has done run his race:
He ran with all his vigor,
But now he can't white man face,
But looks upon the niger.
So does Charles Sumner and old Thad
Both meaner than the devil;
Because they can't quite rule they're mad
To place Sambo on level.
Negro equality they like
What they always did lust in
Then ought to have just such a strike
As benbow give Bill Muslin"

mencement.

Our thanks are due to friend for ticket
to the commencement bali mplimentary to
the graduating class at Chapel Hill, on
Thursday evening June 18th, 1865. We OBJ
serve that the Managers of the Ball are as
follows: Willis Aston, of Halifax, ]. s. Bat
| tie, of Marlborough, W. r. Dortch, of Cam
| den, Ala, Chas. F. McKesson. of Morganton,
A. Phillips, of Orange, and John B. McRae,
of New Hanover. Honorary Managers; Hon.
Jefferson Davis, of Fortress Monroe. Gen. W.
R. Cox, of Wake, Gen. ]. G. Breckenridge
of Canada, Gen. R, D. johnson, of Charlotte
Gen. Robert E. Lee, of Lexington, Va, and
Hon. 2. B. Vance, of Charlotte We do not
wellsee how two Of the Managers, Mr. Davis
and Gen. Breckinridge, can attend. The
latter is at present sojourningin Canada, and
the former is confined for cause at Fortress
Monroe.
We heard at one time that it was desirable
that President johnson should be invited to
attend Commencement. Presidents Polk
and Buchanan were present by invitation on
former occasions. If the Managers would
invite the President, and if his duties would
allow him to attend, and if Mr.. Davis, Gen.
Breckenridge, Gen. Lee, and Gov. Vance
could be present, the latter as the orator of
the day, the occasion would certainly be both
cool and peculiar. It would indeed be a
scene for the pen of the historian.

THE RIGHf SPIRIT. 1t afforded us much
pleasure to notice the closing up of the diff
ferent Government Offices yesterday afternoon,
during the hour set apart for the floral tri-
butte to the Confederate dead in our City
Cemetery.
This touching and tender recognition Of
our great bereavement will be treasured by
our sorrowful citizens, and the fair maidens
and matrons of the land will hold in kindly
recollection the gentlemanly officers on duty
at this post.
We hesitate not to say that if the officers
of the United States Government throughout
the South will. in the discharge of their Off
cial duties and in their general intercourse
with our people, be guided and influenced
by such feelings as prompted this act of
courtesy, it will do more to restore good feel
ing towards the North and cement the bonds
ofour Union than all the display of military
power which can be made. This is one step
in the right direction, and we are greatly at
fault if its good effects are not seen and felt
by all our people.-Augusta (Ga.0 Chronicle
