SoRRow.-SoRRow sobers us and
makes the mind genial. And in sor-
row we love and trust our friends more
tenderly, and the dead becomes dearer
to us. And just as the stars shine out
in the night, so there are blessed faces
that look at us in our grief, though be-
lore their features were fading from our
reeollections. Suffering! Let no man
dread it too much, because, it is good
for him, and it will help to make him
sure of his being immortal. 1t is not
in the bright, happy day, but only il,
the solemn night, that other worlds are
to be seen shining in their long, long
distances. And it is in sorrow-that
night of the soul-that we see farthest,
and know ourselves natives of infinitely
and daughters of the Most High.

RALEIGH. n. g.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY o, 1867.

We learn from telegraphic summary kind
ly furnished us by our neighbor of the Pro
gress, that the bill from the reconstruction
committee was under discussion in the House
on the 18th, amid much excitement Mr..
Stevens said he would not agree to postpone
the vote upon it till Monday
The latest news is that the bill will most
probably pass the House and go to the Sen
ate on Monday the 18th. The only hope of
defeating it in the Senate is by speaking
against time until the 22d instant, for if it is
passed and sent to the President after that
day, he can "pocket" the bill, and it will
fail to become a law Under this view of the
matter, the bill will doubtless become law.

WHAT IS THE MATTER No less than
three clergymen have been before courts OF
laws for crime-Rev. S. l.. Williams, for pick
ing the pocket of lady in Broadway IN.
W stage Rev. Joseph Bahia, for the alleg-
ed murder of his crippled sister, and Key.
Joel Lindsey, for the murder of his child
eleven years old. The Rev. Mr. Williams
after careful examination of his case, had
been committed for trial Lindsey has been
convicted of manslaughter in the third de-
gree, while Bahia was acquitted from lack
of evidence This Is bad state OF things
and shows how wicked our age is. Why does
not the millennium come that Cummings
propehsied for 1866, but which he now puts
off until 1870?

Others who thought with him, had for no
other reason changed their votes. He de-
precated such displays of political prejudice.
He had none of that kind of prejudice, but
was prepared to vote for the good of the
whole people He opposed this donation of
scrip to the University, because he believed
the State should have two colleges
instead of one, Therefore he opposed
indefinite postponement, but was in favor
of placing the funds in the hands of per-
sons, who shall be empowered to take care
OF 1T and do everything necessary towards
establishing an independent Mechanical and
Agricultural College at the best place and
in due time He would himself give 100
acres of land, if this College were to be
established in Rutherford County. He was
in favor of allowing every man in this
State to be heard His substitute made
ample provisions towards carrying out this
plan in the proper manner
Mr.. Morehead favored the passage of the
original bill. He held that this donation of
land-scrip would save the people from taxa
ton and thus give them speedy relief Unless
this donation was given, the people would
certainly be taxed to support the University
or it would go down-and thus the last great
free school in the State meet speedy death
Let us take advantage Of this donation he
said, and carry out in good faith the inten-
tions of the act of Congress. And let us do
it at once, because the State might be placed
under the military, and the donation be lost
Should the University fail to receive it, OF
course he was in favor of locating the col
lege in that event in GuiIford County

MURDER-The New York Tribune has a
very sensible article upon the subject of
1.-THE Mystery of Murder" in the course in
which it furnishes some very startling facts.
Amongst others is the statement that in the
City of New York there were during the
year 1866, no fewer than II homicides and
murders, without including numerous cases
of death by drowning or other means, where
it was not clear whether or not there had
been foul play. Only 33 persons were ar
rested for these crimes, and the records of
of which were for offences committed in q
previous year, with 10 prisoners still to be
tried. That is to say, of the perpetrators OF
clear and unmistakable homicides in New
York more than so per cent. are not arrested
and nearly 80 per cent. are not punished.
