THE NEW YORK DAY BooK.-This paper caps
the climax of Southern radicalism. by proposing
the names of Jefferson Davis, for President and
Edgar Cowan. for Vice President, of the United
States. We are sure that no one deprecates more
deeply the use of his name in such connection than
Mr. Davis nor will it meet any favor from his
friends in the South 1t is in this way that such
papers as the Day Book have always done the
South more harm than good. We have use
either for Northern or Southern radicalism.-
Raleigh Sentinel.
The Day Book and other Northern papers of
that style, are deceiving the people of the South
for the purpose of getting their money. Their
course pleases doubt few extreme men who
profess to be mighty strong friends of the South
but who take care to buy from the Yankees and
patronize Yankee newspapers, because they
think them little cheaper than Southern papers.
Such papers the NY. Day Book aud News
have done great deal to njure the Southern
people and impose heavier burdens upon them.
That's all.

THE SOBER SECOND THoUGHT.-Soon after
the close of the war great deal Of property in
the South was seized and sold by U. S. officials
as forfeited or confscated. Besides, many other
things were done for which there was no law or
authority under the Constitution. or by enact
ment of Congress. Now, that excitement and
passion is passing away-these unlawful acts of
officers receiving attention from the u. S,
Courts-the sober second thought is beginning to
have its influence.
The following paragraph inspires the hope that
even handed justice will yet prevail, and that
ma ny unrighteous decisions will be reversed by
higher authority:
I'm the Supreme Court at Washington Wed
nesGay last Chief Justice Chase granted writ
of error in the case of Joseph Bruin. whose pro-
perty had been seized and sold under decree
of the District Court of Virginia, Judge Under
wood presiding. The writ was granted on the
following grounds:
First, That the District Court condemned and
sold the absolute estate of the petitioner in and
to the property, which judgment it was beyond
the power of the court to pronounce.
Second. That the condemnation of the property
was for treason. of which the party could not be
adjudged guilty, except by finding of jury.
Third. That the proceedings were in Admir-
atty. when they should have been the common
law side of the court, by information aud not by
libel"
In this case, we believe Judge Underwood
himself, after unlawfuy condemning the property
to sale purchased It at very low price. We
are gratifed to see that Chief Justice Chase is
rectifying such proceedings.

EFFECTS OF INDUsTRY.-A correspondent of
the Raleigh Episcopal Methodist writes from
Baltimore as follows:
Il am stopping at the Fountain Hotel, where
North Carolinians ought to stop. MIR Clabough
the PROPRIETOR stands every day with his neat
white apron on and carves the beef for his numer-
our guests, for he believes, and no doubt cor
rectly. that no one can do it so skfully him
self; and not long ago he gave in $47 900 income
The chief clerk Mr. Dodson, is a model of his
equal to his duties. | have heard that not very
long ago he boy tallying oysters at the
wharf-four years ago conductor on one
residence valued at $4,000. the gift of his ad
miring patron, the Proprietor of the Hotel. Such
is the reward for industry and fidelity"
The idea of a man with annual income of
$4,000 putting on an apron and acting as
waiter at a Hotel table, may surprise and aston
ish people. but not for it is certain that
that man (the proprietor of fine, large HoteD
learned Industrious habits while he was boy
and he is not ashamed to work after becoming
rich. 1t is an honor to him. and ought to put to
blush the nice young men who are afraid to soil
their hands by rolling barrel of molasses or
sugar, carrying bars of iron into or out of a
store. Young man. pull off your coat and go to
work-dont hire othe" people to do what you
do yourself. In this progressive age only
such people as are industrious will be considered
respectable. Providence will never help man

MALES AND FEMALES IN THE UNITED STATES.
The New York World says: THE census
shows the alarming excess of73O,OOO more males
than females in tue United States. In the Wes-
tern States particularly, there is enormous pro-
ponderance Of the male populatian. Illinois has
an excess of 80 900; Michigan, 10000; Wisconsin,
43 900; and so on. AS the American Equal
Rights Associations fully disposed of the female
suffrage question last week, they should deal with
the excessive male population at the next ami
versary. In Massachusetts and elsewhere in New
England, there is an almost innumerable number
of s2insters of certain and uncertain age, while
there are 100000 unappropriated males wander
ing in loneliness in the Western wids. Equal
rights would make such state of things impos-
sible, and the society should see to It.
MAKING Child HAPPy.-Blessed be the
hand that prepares a pleasure for a child, for
there is no saying when and where it may again
bloom forth. Does not almost everybody re-
member some kind hearted man who showed him
kindness in the dullest days Of his childhood!
The writer of this recoIlects himself at the mo-
ment, as bare footed lad, standing at the wooden
fence of poor little garden in his native VILLAGE
while with longing eyes he gazed on the flowers
which were blooming there quietly in the bright
ness of Sunday morning. The possessor came
forth from his little cottage; he was wood-cutter
by trade and spent the whole week at work in
the woods. He had come into the garden to
gather flowers to stick into bis coat when he went
to church. He saw the boy, and breaking off
the most beautiful of his carnatons-it was streak
ed with red and white-he gave it to him
Neither the giger nor the receiver spoke word,
and with bounding steps the boy ran home
And now here, at vast distance from that home
after so many events ofso many years, the feeling
of gratitude which agitated the breast ofthat boy
expresses itself on paper. The carnation has long
since vithered, but nov it blooms afresh.

~ The following very sensible admonition
from one of the ablest and most distinguished
thinkers and public men in Europe, is admirably
adapted just how to this latitude. John Stuart
Mill, in his late Inaugural Address before the
University of St. Andrews, says:
"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the
delusion that he can do no harm if be takes no
part and forms no opinion. Bad men need moth
ing more to compass their ends than that good
men should look and do nothing. He is not
a good man who without protest, allows wrong to
be committed in his name, and with the means
which he helps to supply, because he will not
trouble himself to use his mind on the subject"
This should be sufficient answer to all our
disappointed and "disgusted" politicians and
private citizens, whom we daily hear exclaming:
II am going to mind my own business, aud shall
never cast another vote as long as live Those
things ought we to do, but not leave these undone.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION,-We
devote much of our space to the publication of
the opinion of the Attorney General Of the United
States as to who are disfranchised by the Re-
construction Acts. We cannot see that it throws
much light the subjective fear that there
will be as much doubt as to the meaning of the
Attorney General there has been about the
Reconstruction Acts.
The status of the class of officers alluded to
by the Attorney General has, we think been
well understood; but the information mostly de-
sired and needed was whether the inferior officers
under the State Government who held office
previous to the war, are disfranchsed or not
The Attorney General promises to give fur
Their opinion hereafter. and hope he will de-
eide the question alluded to for the benefit of this
State especially.
