From the Raleigh Standard
CONFISCATION.

We learn that there is some alarm among the
people in relation to con6scation of lands BY the
general government. We are not presumed to
know more than others on this subject, but we
will state briefly our own opinion as to what
may be expected.
We feel sure that the lands of the great body
of the Southern people are in no danger get
Of confscation. They would have been ia no
danger in any event, if the States had accepted
promptly the Howard amendment and returned
to the Union. But the lands Of tho instigators
and leaders of the rebellion have been in danger
from the first. Recent events have not dimin-
ished that danger. We can not predict what
will be done with the property of these leaders
They may save it yet, if they will but We con-
Tess, from our knowledge of their proud, stub
but little hope that they will. We apprehend
they will continue in a course which will COM
plete their own ruin, as they have runcd their
country. But one thing is certain, the property
Of the loyal as IN no danger. Treason must be
shown both 10 intent and act, before the title
will vest in the national government; and even
if it should have vested by technically in law,
those who are Enthusiastically 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 expense of wicked, unrepentant, ''con-
scious traitors" IF it be true tina, the pardons
granted by the President will not save, in the
last resort, the property of those who are un
pardoned will be confscated, for Congress has
forbidden the President to graut any more par
dops
Mr. Stevens has solemnly declared that he
will devote his remaining strength to the work
of confscation. His influence in Congress is
we'll known. The great body Of the Northern
people, and many of our own people, feel that it
would be act of gross and crying injustice to
free the slaves and give them 70 lands; and
that, to say the least, it 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 90 back
wards and this revolution has not yet run its
course.
1t is natural, under the circumstances, that
persons about to purchase land should be care
full about the titles But We repeat, the prop
ery of our loyal people is in no danger. They
can make good titles, as there is no reason to
fear that in any event con6scation will fall on
them.

MISSISSIPPI VS.. THE q. STATES.
Application for an Injunction against the en-
Jorcement of the Reconstruction Acts.

WAsHIkaros, April s.
In the Supreme Court, to-day, Judge Sharkey
gave notice of motion for preliminary injunc-
ton against Andrew Johnson, President Of the
United States. and General Ord, Commander of
the Military District of Mississippi. and stated
that the motion was founded on bill of equity,
which he proposes to file, brought by the State of
Mississippi as complainant, against the parties
named, to enjoin them from executing the acts of
Congress recently passed. called the Military bill
and the Supplemental bill
Attorney Genera! Stanbury suggested, that as
IT was case involving the original Jurisdiction of
the Court the motion in the first place should be
for leave TO file the BILL
Judge Sharkey acquiesced, and said the Coun-
sci for the State ofMississippi would now make
the motion for leave to file the bill, and were ready
to argue it.
The Attorney General said he commended that
the bill, IN so far as it purported to make the Pres
dent party defendant, is in effect suit agains,
the United States. and he would therefore, object
to leave being given by the Court to file the bill.
lie further stated that be also was ready now to
60 into argument of the motion.
The Chief Justice, after consultation, stated that
application for leave TO file the bill might be made
and put on the motion docket, but in conformity
to the rules of the Court, would not be heard un ii,
the neat regular motion day. This motion will
therefore come up on Friday.

GEN. BEAUREGARD.-This distinguished Con-
federate officer has written letter advising &C.
quiescence in the demands of Congress in regard
to reconstruction. In reference to the colored
vote he says:
with regard to the suffrage of the freedmen,
however objectionable it may be at present. it is
element of strength for the future. If properly
handled and directed. we shall defeat our adver-
saries with their own weapon. The negro is
Southern born: with little education aud some
property qualifications. he can be made to take
sufficient interest in the affairs and prosperity of
the South to insure an intelligent vote on bis part.
In future political contests with the North.
protective tariffs, internal improvements. ETC..
the freedmen of the South will side with the
whites of the South aud West. and they will thus
contribute to give US back the influence We
formerly had in the councils of the nation

s@ Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was
in Richmond aud Petersburg, Va, last week,
and made speeches. A report of bis speech at
Petersburg, says:
"He addressed a vast assemblagc, in front of
Jarrett's Hotel, to-night-the coIored element
largely predominant, and enthusiastic in their
manifestations of approval. The Senator spoke
upN ards of one hour, proclaiming himself radi-
cal, aud entirely committed to radical prinei-
Piles. He pronounced slavery to have been the
cause of the late war, and said that neither
North nor South were guiltless in the conflict.
The negro is now as much a citizen of the Uni.
ted States as the President, and entitled to all
the privileges of the whites. He implored the
negroes to exercise the right of franchise as .
free man. He disclaimed all intention on the
part of Congress and the North to degrade or
humilate the South, but the measures Of recon.
etructiou rather aimed to elevate the lowly and
the oppressed"

We again beg Pustma>ters to take little more

of newspapers going on now al days. that We sug-
gest to Postmasters not to deliver papers to any

NEGRO TESTIMONY REFUsED.-In the Su-
perior- Court this morning, in the case Of the
State VS. Schottell, charged with larceny, attor-
ney General Rogers proposed to introduce ne
gro testimony for the prosecution. The coun-
sci for the defence objected, when Judge War
rem announced that if such evidence was offered
and the jury rendered a verdict Of guilty, he
would set the decision aside. The case was
thereupon dismissed without argument and the
prisoner released.
Whether this action will lead to new compli-
cations, under the civil rights bill passed by
Congress, remains to be seen. That law de-
clares that the negro is citizen and shall have
the right 10 every State and Territory in the
United States to give evidence. If the rule is
applicable to criminal cases 10 which they are
not directly interested, We may expect soon to
hear that the Judge is in the hands of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court -Rale;gh Progress.

the election for Sheriff of RichlanG District is
