UNION AND HARMONY.--A CONSOLIDATED
PARTY,

"A very important meeting of the State Re
publican Committee was held at Raleigh,
pursuant to public notice. on Wednesday
last. More than quorum of the large Com
mittee was present. and the deepest interest
taken in the proceedings. The meeting of
the Committee was so large that its session
was held in the House of Commons Hall at
the Capitol. Several prominent Republi-
cans from Wilmington, Greensboro and
other places who were not members of the
Committee, were cordially invited to be pres
emit, and did attend.
One sentiment and feeling seemed to in
spire all present, and that was, that union.
concert and harmony must prevail with the
republican party throughout the entire
State. Every idea tending to division or
dlscord In our ranks was emphatically ignor-
ed and denounced. The Republican plat
form adopted on the 9th of March last was
most enthusiastically endorsed and adhered
to by every one present The existence of a
strong, earnest and resolute Republican par
ty already in the State was fully RECOGNIZED
and rejoiced over. The chief object in view.
was to render that party still more efficient
and powerful. After full discussion and the
most free and frank interchange of sentiment
it was resolved to hold "a Republican State
Delegated Convention at Raleigh. on the
first Wednesday in September next, then
and there to take such additional stems in
the furtherance of the Republican cause in
this State as may seem necessary and proper.
The call for this Convention, to be made
by the present State Committee, will soon
appear in our columns 1t will be found to
be based upon the broadest and tairest
principles of Republican representation and
well calculated to givesatisfaction to all our
friends. In view of the determined purpose
thus evinced to combine and consolidate the
whole Republican strength of the State in
one common and patriotic effort, the anxious
hopes of chickering's and discord among us,
SO generally entertained by our enemies, will
be totally scattered to the winds. Ifinveter-
ate secessionists still entertain the belief that
their prospects are to be strengthened bv
unfortunate divisions in our party. thew had

The Late Freshet.

We have recently had a most destructive
freshet in this part Of the State. The streams
have been higher than at any former period
for years. The earth was already saturated
with water, and the heavy rains that tell ran
off, swelling the streams of various Sizes
Crabtree Creek and Neuse river, in this vi
cinity, have been very high, and have played
havoc with the growing crops. The same is
true, doubtless, of the Cape Fear, the Taw,
and the Roanoke.
We learn that cotton, corn and wheat
have been seriously injured. The damage in
Wake County alone can not be less than one
hundred thousand dollars The weather is
now cloudy and damp, and cool ough to
render fire comfortable Indeed, for a month
or two past clear weather has been the excep-
ton to the rule. If the present weather
should continue long the wheat crop must
suffer still more.

The President in Petersburg.

PETERSBURG, June Z, L. NJ
The Presidential party arrived here this
afternoon, on their return to Washington
having been escorted from Jarratt's Depot
by Mayor Collier and Committee of the
City Council. The Mayor renewed the ten.
der OF hospitalties formerly offered by the
municipal authorities.
The President said that while he was
grateful for this manifestation of kindness
he regretted that his public engagements
compelled him to decline the desired sojourn
for Cay, as business required his immediate
| return to Washington
The large concourse at the hotel received
the party with repeated cheers
The President, having been called for,
made few remarks in which he said he had
tried to discharge his duty faithfully. He
had made conscientious conviction his cour-
age, the public good his aim, the Constitu-
ton his guide, and these he would stand by.
He expressed his gratitude for this recep-
ton, and the hope that when he again came
here it would be under more favorable cir
cumstances, with the country whole and
peace and prosperity everywhere prevailing.
He was heartily cheered.
Secretary Seward, in response to calls,
merely remarked that he had heard from
the President exactly what he would say,
were he to make speech.
Postmaster General Randall was called
out, who briefly admonished all to forget
the strife of the past and to unite for the
future IN all the eountry's prosperity.
AS the party remained an hour in Peters
burg they were handsomely entertained with
a supper, and were the recipients of marked
attention.
The party will remain in Richmond to-
night and leave for Washington tomorrow
morning.

chief Justice Chase.

IN Sunday last the Chief Justice, accom-
panied by Gen. Miles, Judge Brooks Ex-
Governor Holden, Rev. g. W. Pepper David
NJ Carter, Esq, Maj. Dewey andLt. Gran
ger. of the 4Oth, attended Divine service In
the African Methodist Church in this City
Services on the occasion were conducted
by Rev. Robert Lucas, colored, and Rev.
Nelson Farrow, colored. Mr.. Handy LOCK
EFT. coored, closed the services WITH
nrayer After the sermon by Mr. Farrow,
the Rev. Mr.. Pepper delivered brief' but
most eloquent and impressive exhortatlon.-
Mr.. Pepper is stationed here at present as
Chaplain of the 10th regiment, and breaches
as occasion offers to the colored troops and
others.
The ministers referred to, Messrs. Lucas
and Farrow, were born and raised in slavery
They are mechanics, and have improved
their minds to remarkable degree, when
we consider their limited opportunities
They are men filled with the power OF the
Gospel, and their style, though by no means
finished or classical, is direct, earnest and
impressive. Such men are calculated to do
great good among their own race.
The Chief Justice was evidently interested
and impressed with what he saw and heard
on the occasion.

THE CHIEE JUSTICE IN N0RTH-CAROLINA.

The CHlEE JUSTINE In NOKIH.CAkOLlNA.
The visit of Chief Justice Chase to the
Capital of our State, for the purpose of hold
ing session OF the Circuit Court, may well
be regarded as one of the most important
events since the closing of the war. In its
moral, civil, and political bearings it can
not be overestimated. We regard it as one
of the most salutary and efficient steps in
the way of practical reconstruction. No in
telhgent man can fail to observe that the
appearance at this juncture, in our midst, of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, must naturally exert a
most marked influence for good. 1t demon
strates that the march of civil rule is steadily
gaining in strength and power. 1t proves
that in spite of all the efforts made to widen
the breach between our State and the gener-
eral government, that we are gradually, but
certainly approaching that happy period
when the authority of the United States will
again be placed upon its proper and legiti-
mate basis. Just in proportion as the gen
eral government, in all its branches. can I'M
interruptedly assert its constitutional and
rightful supremacy, will the great work of
restoration go forward.
In this connection, we cannot but regard
1t as most fortunate circumstance that
man of the eminence, great attainments and
worldwide reputation of Chief Justice Chase
happens to occupy the first position in the
most august judicial tribunal of our coun-
try. ....:
1t is further to be regarded as fortunate
for our State and people that we happen to
be located in the particular circuit assigned
to this distinguished Judge. His noble re-
cord as one of our ablest statesmen, his long
and faithful adherence to the rights of man
and the cause of universal freedom, his never
to be forgotten services to our nation as a
fnancier of the broadcast and most compre-
henslve views, together with the great abi-
ity he displays in his present high position,
at once point him out as capable of welding
more influence for. the public welfare, than
almost anything public man.-Neo6e7n Re

PERsoNAL-We learn that Chief Justice
Chase, in company with Judge Brooks, Ex-
Prov. Gov. Holden and Col D. NJ Carter,
attended the African Methodist Church in
this City, on yesterday morning. We pre-
sumo they attended Tupper's Church at
night.-Sentinel.
This personal fling at the Chief Justice is
characteristic OF the paper that makes it. If
allusion had been made to any of the rebel
Ministers of the City the Sentinel would
have given them their title But 'Tupper
is good enough for "a yankee" Mr.. Topper
is an educated gentleman, and is doing a
good work in our midst. Yet he is sys-
tematically sighted by traitors in this COM
munity, because he is ga yankee" and
breaches to the colored people, and the Sen
tineJ goes out of its way to lug him in as
"Tupper's Church."
The Reverend Parson of the Sentinel
could preach to the slaves, and pocket their
Confederate dimes as his salary. He is
ready to preach to them now, in their
new condition, if he can make anything
out of them as a politician. But fail
ing in this, it is gall and NORWOOD to him
to hear Of Yankees" preaching to them, or
to know that so eminent person as the
Chief Justice is not above participating with
them in their simple and earnest devotions.
For our part, we regard this act on the part
of the Chief Justice as furnishing additional
evidence,of his honesty, and of his consider
ate regard for the feelings and rights of all.

We find the following dispatch in the
Northern papers. We take it for granted it
is from some Agent of the Associated press
RALEIGH, June 5.-The State Executive
Committee of the Holden wing of the Re-
publican party held a meeting at the &aaad-
ard office to-day, and invited the Republic
cans throughout the State to hold primary
meetings in every county to elect delegates to
the General State Convention to assemble in
this City on the first "Wednesday in Sep
TENDER.
Now, there is no Holden wing of the
Republican party" A Convention of the
Republican party has been called, to meet
on the day above mentioned. Holden will
have no more to do with it than any other
Republican. 1t will be great and glorious
Convention; and if the State should be re-
stored under the Sherman act, it will be due
to the efforts of just such men as will COM
pose this Convention.
We think it high time the Republican pa
pers of the North were discartling these ly-
ing dispatches of the Associated Press
They will not be able to obtain truthful dis
patches from the South as long as the bust
ness of making up and transmitting news re-
mains in rebel hands.

Gen. Butler on Confiscation.

In letter recently written by Gen. Butler
he says;
"Is it not a self evident political truth
that where the land is held in large tracts
by the employer, to be titled by the employ
ed, there can be no just and true field for
the exercise ofrepublican citizenship And
it is one of the pressing exigencies of the
country, as the very basis of reconstruction,
that some plan must be devised by which
the lands of the South may be divided
among those who shall occupy and till them"
