DOES A DiSSEVERED HEAD RETAIN SEN
SJRHTTE,

The British Medical Journal says:
much has been written and many con
aicting opinions expressed as to wheth-
er the head after decapitation retains
any sensibility, and the question has
been revived in Paris apropos of Lee
MARES execution. NJ. Bonnafont gives
the following account Of an experiment
on. the discovered heads of two Arabs,
which will probably set the question at
rest. He says: 81 was in Algiers in
1888, where | met with a military sur
geon, NJ. de FaHois, who asked me what

The CRIME OF TEiCHING.--A LADY REFUSED
RipTISM,

The Walnut street Baptist Church is
one of the famed institutions of louis
vile, XIV. Its beautiful spire re&ches
toward heaven some two hundred feet
or more, aud the wealth of its congre-
cation, if woven into Brussel carpet,
would cover large portion of Gods
footstool. For the last three months
this church has been charging its Dor
ders NIGHTLY. A constant revival has
been in progress, with success so re-
mlrkable that it seemed as if the WICK,
e1ness of the wicked in that city would
certainly come to an end very soon. a
few evenings since, among a little COM
pany that called upon the pastor OF the
Walnut street Baptist Church, Kew.
Geo. 9. Lariner, to express their desire
to unite with said church, was young
lady who, for some time past, has en-
gagged in teaching a treedmens school
in Louisville. She is OF one excellent
Quaker family in Pennsylvania, and
was formerly a teacher in the State
Normal School of that State. She is
Christian lady of culture, refinement,
and unusual intelligence. Some three
years ago she sought and obtained
position as teacher of freedmen, because
she conscientiously thought she could be
of more service to the Christian cause
in that capacity than in any other:
Having given the pastor history of
her religious experience, she was cor
daily welcomed. But the man of the
Lord had not yet found out that she
was teaching 'nigger school, and SO
when that fact came to his virtuous ear,
he was of course startled, and felt it
his duty to counsel the officers of the
church before proceeding any further in
the matter. This was accordingly done,
and twice putting off the young lady
without an answer, after some perple
kitty and trouble of spirit, during which
time a baptismal robe had been sent
her, and all the necessary arrangements
made for her baptism the following
Sabbath, these holy men informed her
that they could not receive her. No
reason was given-none could have
been given for their action except the
fact that she had taught freedmen's
school.

REPUBLICAN MEETING in ASHE COUNTY.

REPUBLICAN MEETING in ASHE COUNTY.
At meeting of the citizens of Ashe
County, N. c., held at Dunns Mill, in the
Long Branch District, on the 18th day of
May, 1857, on motion. Rev. Reizin Jones,
| Joseph Graybeel and Eli Ham were appoin-
ted to prepare set of resolutions expressive
of the feeling and sentiments of the Union
! portion of the citizens of the surrounding
vicinity, and to report at an adj ourned meet
ing to be held at the Silas Creek Church
house, on the Gath of the month.
| According to appointment the committee
prepared the following preamble and resolu-
tions:
| WHEREAS, Ever since the late rebellion
commenced in this once happy government
all those who have held Union sentiments
and were opposed to the cruel war, that is
just passed, have been prescribed, insulted
and abused, and even since the surrender
they are stigmatized as Tories, Traitors,
Bushwhackers and the disturbers of the
public peace by that party which brought the
war with all its calamities upon US, and which
| by the way, now would have the world be-
lieye that they are the only Union men that
are entitled to consideration from the au-
thorities of the government; therefore, in
| justice to ourselves and for the purpose of
| making our true position known, be it
Resol0ed, That we heartily approve of the
course pursued by the Republican party in
Congress, and cheerfully accept of the pro-
visions of the military bill and are willing
I in good faith to accept of said provisions,
| together with the proposed Constitutional
| amendments. ..'.
i Resobued, That it is the interest as we'll as
1 the duty of all the loyal citizens of North
! Carolina, to unite their efforts as one people
| and one party, and lend their aid to the
! Republican party North to consummate the
| great work of reconstruction commenced by
4 the National Republican party, and thereby
regain our political rights in the Union
! which were wrested from us by the foul
work of secession and all its concomitant
| evils.
! Resozged, That the late law passed by the
! last rebel Legislature of North CAROLINA Civ
| ing amnesty and pardon to criminals of the
darkest hue, merits and should meet with
| the just Reproduction and execration of all
gust and honorable men, and that all similar
! acts and laws is but carrying out the dirty
work of secession, and is only calculated to
invite danger and delay the restoration of
the seeded States to their relations in the
| federal Union. =
Resoloed That the foregoing preamble and
resolutions be published in the North Caro-
lima Standard
The foregoing resolutions were read and
un unanimously adopted by the citizens fPiney

THE REBEL PROGRAMME.

Elk Governor Perry, of South Caro-
lima, is still distressed about negro suf-
frage and the speeches of northern radi-
Gals in the South. He says:
If left alone the negro will act in
harmony with his master; every day
by means of this radical agitation the
negro will be less and less under the
influence of his true friends and neigh
bors. AT present, out of the towns and
villages, the negro cares nothing about
his right of suffrage, and knows moth.
ing. Unless influenced by bad men he
will not trouble himself to register or
vote. This, however, will not ALWAYS
be the case. If, therefore, we are wise
IN the coming election, true to our
selves, and have the true interests of
the negro-at heart, we may defeat the
call OF convention, and save the State
from radicalism and agrarianism, and a
war OF races in-the f1lture.'
Here is disclosed the clearly defined
purpose OF the rebel leaders to oppose
reconstruction under laws of CONGRESS-
relying solely upon the ignorance Of the
negro In the rural districts for the DOW
CI Will Iltcu TO QoIoaJ q convention
This is precisely the fact to which we
have called attention repeatedly; and to
overcome the obstacle we have propos-
ed organization throughout the South,
stating distinctly that it was only in
the cities and towns that the masses
were informed.
The warning we have so often repeat
ed has to large extent passed unheed-
ed by the Republican party. But now
that the plan is disclosed by the con-
i te Of a leading and obstinate rebel

the South are well: they will do good:
but they are useless for any practical
result unless preceded by organization.

fees as may be imposed by the municipal or
other competent authorities.
All contracts hereafter made for the man

insurance of Intoxicating liquors shall with
in this military district be deemed and treat
ed as against public policy, and no civil &C
tion suit or proceedings for the enforcement

8. In public conveyances on railroads,
highways, streets or navigable waters, no

jured party may sue for and recover in the
civil Courts.

ished, where lands are leased, or let out tor
hire or rent. Cotton, corn or other produce
of the sale, when severed from the land, may
be impoundel, but the same shall not be re-

sold in satisfaction of any judgment for the
same, Provided, that any unsuccessful claim

such cotton, corn, or other produce, shall, in
no case, be postponed to any demand for
rent or hire. But to the extent of such
claim for labor there shall be lien on such
cotton, corn or other produce having prefer
ence over any claim for rent or hire.
