RALEIGH, N. c., WEDNESDAY,

If race or color at the polls or in civil Offices
The Freedmen would not take less; the loyal
white men we hope would scorn to offer less.
In the North the Republican party is pledged
to this creed--impartial suffrage in every
State ofthe Union. What isl good for North
Carolina must be good for New York; the
mistake of Connecticut will not be repeated
At Raleigh the Convention organized the
Republican party in the State; at Savannah,
Montgomery, Macon, Jacksonville, Charles
ton, they adopted resolutions equally decis-
i've, but left formal organization to future
State Conventions. It is in the triumph Of
this party, which knows no difference between
man and man, that the South will be re-
deemed. Whatever party seeks to perpetu-
ate distinctions of race or color, in the South,
aims at the perpetuation of jealousy, and
strife, and poverty. The negro is ready to
do his duty, and whatever doubt may have
existed of the readiness of the white man to
accept absolute political and civil equality
is lessened by the example of such men as
Gen. Dockery in North Carolina, and Gov.
Patton in Alabama.n r5cr

False Renorts.


A number of false reports have gone out
about the late Republican Convention, all
emanating from that magazine of lies and
treason, the Raleigh Sentinel.
We now state that all the reports as to re-
plies or retorts made by Mr.. Harris to Mr..
Settle, Mr. Sinclair, and Others, are false
No such scenes as described occurred in the
Convention. They are purely imaginary.
The last Newbern Journal Of Commerce
says:
:" JAS. Fl. HARRIs, ps D. M. CARTER
Capt. d. NJ. Carter, late of the Confederate
army, in speech protesting his love for the
colored men, as well as his ultra Radicalism
in the recent Convention, was taken down in
the following handsome style, by Jas. II.
Harris colored. After Carter had concluded
Harris took the floor, and addressing him
self to the President, asked, referring to
Carter: What meat hath this our Cesar
fed upon, that he should have grown so fat"
we understand that the first orator wilted
under the scorching rays of an African son.
Three cheers for Harris"
The foregoing is also an unmitigated false
hood. The very best feeling prevailed in the
Convention between the two races.

We learn that there is some alarm among
the people in relation to confscation of lands
by the general government We are not
presumed to know more than Others ON this
subject, butw will state briefly our opinion
as to what may be expected.
We feel sure that the lands of the great
body of the Southern people are in no dam
ger get of confiscation. They would have
been in no danger in any event. if the States
had accepted promptly the Howard amend
ment and returned to the Union. But the
lands of the instigators and leaders of the
rebellion have been in danger from the first.
Recent events have not diminished that dan
ger. We can not predict whatewill be done
with the property of these leaders. They
may save it yet, if they will; but we confess,
from our knowledge of their proud, stub
born and defiant disposition, that we can
have but little hope that they will. We ap-
prehend they will continue in course which
will complete their own ruin, as they have
ruined their country. But one thing is GER
tain, the property Of the loyal is in no danger.
Treason must be shown both iA intent and
act, before the title will vest in the national
government; and even if it should have YES
ted by Il teclnicality in law, those who are
unmistakably loyal will not, in the end, lose
it. The government will not punish its own
sincere friends and supporters. 1t will rather
protect them and build them up at the ex-
pense of wicked, unrepentant, conscious
traitors" If it be true that the pardons
granted by the President will not save, in
the last resort, the property of the person
pardoned, it is clear that the property of
those who are unpardoned will be confsca-
ted, for Congress has forbidden the Presi-
dent to grant any more pardons.
Mr.. Stevens has solemnly declared that he
will devote his remaining strength to the
work of confscation. His influence in Con.
gress is well known. The great body of the
Northern people, and many of our own peo.
pie feel, that it would be an act of gross and
crying injustice to free the slaves and give
them no lands; and that, to say the least, il
would be better that the large bodies of land
held by Southern rebels be cut up into small
farms for the poor whites and the colored
people. Revolutions never go backwards
and this revolution has not yet run it.
course.
1t is natural, under the circumstances, thai
persons about to purchase land should bt
careful about the titles. But we repeat, tht
property of our loyal people is in no danger
They can make good titles, as there is nc
reason to fear that in any event confscatior
will fall on them.

NO. 49,.


Four months ago our loyal people wcrs
depressed and almost out of heart. The
Presidents plan had failed, through the
trcachery and selfshness of the secession
leaders, and the people, again deceived and
misled, had contemptuously rejected the
Howard amendment. The President of the
United States was defying the win ofthe
nation, and giving ''aid and comfort" BY his
conduct to Northern copperhsads and South
ern traitors. Treason was rampant In the
high places of this State. Federal oflcers-
men who had barred their breasts to the storm
of hundred battles depressed, and
sad in the midst of communities controlled
by rebel leaders, and did not seem to be as
free to act as formerly. The glorious flag Of
the Union seemed to feel the general gloom,
and to droop mournfully in the breeze.
A federal officer, honorable for his years
and for his useful services in camp and bat
tie, ordered that whipping by Court then
in session in this City should be discontinu-
ed. In doing this he simply obeyed the or
ders of his superior. Instantly the whole
camp of Rebellion was reused. Indictments
were ordered by the Court, and true bill
was found by the Grand Jury against the
following persons to-wit, Daniel E. Sickles,
]. v. Bomford, Theodore Josephs, DanielT.
Wells, 1t. Hayes, and Friday Jones, for OBJ
structing public justice Col. Bomford very
properly refused to be arrested, and after Q
while quiet was restored. Certain coward
ly demagogues strutted about the Court
yard and denounced their betters as "mean
white men" and negro equality" advo-
Gates They, too, have subsidized. We have
not learned what has been done with this
immortal bill of Indictment. 9
The Daniel E. Sickles thus indicted Is now
the military commander and governor of
this State, and will visit Raleigh soon. -Four
months ago, if he had been here, be would
have been liable to arrest by rebel Court.
We do not assail any one. We simply
state facts, to show what remarkable
charge has taken place during the last four
months. We had gloomy times then,
but they are better now. Wcllavs no doubt
they will continue TO improve.

Buchanan is most responsible for the late

anxiety the Union people of this State look

mad career. If he had done his duty yzAin
1860, all the "years of blood and sorrow"
referred to by him would have been ayerted.

FIRE at the Jail,

A fire broke out in the Rutland County
jail in this place about haf-past two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, which re-
suited in the roof and upper portion OF
thebuilding being damaged tothe amount
Of 5000 or $500, and the prison portion
and residence being so flooded with
water and otherwise injured as to be at
present unfit for occupation by the Jail
or's family or the prisoners. The fire de.
partment was promptly on hand, and but
for their timely assistance the entire
building, with several adjoining ones,
must have been totally consumed. AS
it is, however, 81 900 will probably cover
the entire loss, Deputy Sheriff Briggs
losing $200'or $500 in damages to furni.
ture and other householdeffects. Thepr
oners were all removed, and are now
confined in the prison of the U. s. Court
House. The fire originated from the
burning out of chimney.

GOVERNORS OF vERMONT.-1s.
CHARLES K. WILLIAMS.

Charles Kilborn Williams, the eight
zenith Governor Of Vermont, was born at
Cambridge, in the County OF Middlesex,
Massachusetts, on the Oath day Of Janu-
AIRY, 1882. He was the youngest son Of
that eminent philosopher and historian,
Rev. Samuel Williams, LII. D., by Jane,
daughter OF Eliphalet Kilborn. His
grand father was Rev. Warham W., Of
Waltham, who was son Of Rev. John
Williams, of Deerfeld, $50 widely known
as the redeemed captive,) by Eunice,
daughter of Rev. Eleazer Mather, and
grand daughter of Rev. John Warham."
He came to Vermont, with his father,
in 1890, and continued to reside in Rut-
land from that time till his death. After
graduating at Williams College in 1900,
he commenced the study of law with
Cephas Smith, Jr., Esq, of Rutland, then
Clerk Of the United States Courts for the
District Of Vermont, Having completed
his studies under the direction of Mr..
Smith, he was admitted to the bar in
Rutland County in March, 1903.
He was appointed Tutor in Williams
College, Massachusetts, in 1902, and
about the same time; received a similar
appointment from Middlebury College,
both of which he declined
He represented the town Of Rutland in
the General Assembly of Vermont for the
years 1909, II, IA, Is, 20, 81, and again
in 184o, after his retirement from the
Bench, by the general concurrence Of all
political parties in town.
In reference to his military services
We extract, from /. brief sketch of his
life, by Chief Justice Redheld, the follow
ing:
L" In 1908, he was called upon by Gov
ernor Smith, to take command as major,
of a detachment of militia called into
service by draft, to enforce the En-
barge Law, as it was called. That law
had become so obnoxious to the people
on the frontier, that it was found impos.
sible for the ordinary municipal author
tiles TO enforce its observance. The
odium attaching to the law. wss unfor.
tunately somewhat connected with the
acrimony and animosity of the politica
divisions of the time; and it was credit
able to Governor Williams, that he wa:
selected, at the early age of twenty six
for so delicate an office, by Governor
Smith, who was of the opposite politica
party, and when he Major W. himsel
was known to belong to the party
opposed to the passage of the Act o
Congress which he was thus called upor
to enforce at the point of the bayonet
