the following State Directors in this Road ::
]. NJ. Coffin, o. G. Parsley, Peter. Adams, j.
E. Allen, John W. Thomas, R. S. Tucker.

The object OF this is to elect Hon Josiah

We think Gen Sickles should see to it that.
this great corporation is in loyal hands,
Thirty thousand loyal white men, and sixty
thousand loyal colored men in this State,
feel they have right to expect that their
affairs should be placed in the hands of citi-
Gems who have at least declared themselves
publicly and heartily for the reconstruction
acts. It ought to be understood. and TW
be, after while, that loyarmen in this State
have rights as we'll as rebels and sore-footed
Union men, who, hating the Republican
party and having no real affection for the
government, call themselves Conservatives

JUDGE WAYNE.

James NJ Wayne, recently one of the
Judges of the United States Supreme Court,
died yesterday in Washington, in his nth
year. He had been ill two weeks with ty-
phoid fever. Judge Wayne was a native of
Savannah, Georgia, and graduate of Mas
sau Hall [now Princeton College, where he
is numbered among his associates some of
the leading men of the present day. After
the close Of his collegiate course he studied
law, and was admitted to practice In his ma
tive town where he soon became better known
as a politician than as a lawyer. He was cleo
ted member of the General Assembly of
the State as an opponent of the 'relief law"
which at that time was exciting a good deal
of strong feeling throughout the State, and
held the position two terms, declining a re-
nomination for the third. He then served
as Mayor of his native city, and afterward
as Judge of Superior Court He was elect
ed to Congress in 1929. holding that posi-
ton until 1885, when he was appointed to a
seat on the Supreme Bench by President
Jackson, of whom he had been a werm po
litical supporter. In this last position he
has been more especially noted as authority
on questions of Admiralty jurisprudence,
and his opinions ON these points have gen.
orally been regarded as decisive.
THE HON. LAZARUS W. POWELL.
The hon. L. w. foWeli, formerly govern
or OF Kentucky. and subsequently United
States Senator, died at his residence in Hen
derson, KY, On Wednesday afternoon. Mr.
Powell was born in Henderson County, on
the 9th of October, 1912. He graduated at
St. Joseph's College, Bardstown, in 1888,
studied law at the Pennsylvania University,
and came to the bar in 1884 In June, 1885
he was elected to the Legislature, and from
1851 to 1856 he was Governor of the State.
In 1859 he was chosen to the United States
Senate, in which he served on the Judiciary,
Pensions, and Printing Committees. Sena-
tor Powell was one of the most violent oppo-
nents among the Senators of the war for the
Union, and gave so great ofense to the more
Conservative and Unionist Democrats that
he was not reelected in 1859, but supplant-
ed by Mr.. Gutherie.

EDITORS STANDARD - Will you please
inform me, through the Standard, why
North Carolina does not pay the interest ON
her Bonds9 Two years ago, went to Eu-
rope, and before going, invested in Bonds of
Virginia, Tennessee, and North-C Carolina.
At that time greatly preferred North Carr
lima by reason of the fact that her financial
condition was far better than any other
Southern State. 1 find upon my return, that
Virginia and Tennessee are paving their
coupons regularly, while the Old North
State pays nothing, but, Southern Conteder-
acy like, promises to pay Let me know
what the prospect is. THADDEUS.
We regret we cannot satisfactorily answer
our correspondent. Our rulers in this State
are faithful followers of the principles of the
Southern Confederacy. They promise big
things, but do nothing useful or patriotic.
They are taxing our people enormously, but
we hear OF no arrangements to pay even the
interest on the old Bonds

The organization of the negro Radical
party South costs about fifty millions of dol
lars year to the Federal Goyernment.-Sen.
tinel
The organization of the negro Radicat
party under Col. Jefferson Davis, during the
rebellion, cost the lives of net less than three
hundred thousand Confederate soldiers, three
thousand millions of dollars, and made one
hundred thousand widows and two hundred
thousand orphans. The only negro party
there ever was in this country was that Of
Jefferson Davis. He went to war about the
negroes, provided by his act of Congress
that every man should fight in the war who
did not own twenty negroes, and finally lost,
all the negroes and found himself q prisoner
in Fortress Monroe.

CHAFlsSTUN, July q NJ"
The following semi official announcement
is published this morning: Gen. Sickles
has been directed not to begin registration,
in this military District until Congress shall
have determined more explicitly who are
entitled to he registered. 1t is presumed
that Congress win extend the time for the
complexion of registration in the CarolInas
until October or November.
But for the perversity of the President and
his Attorney General, and the opposition to-
the reconstruction act by rebel leaders, no
session of Congress would have been necessa-
ry, and the registration of voters would nave

Our copy of the Sentinel seems to be

Our copy of the Sentinel seems to be very
anxious that the United States should go to
war with Mexico. on account of the alleged
seizure of Santa Anna on board federal war
vessel. We presume the supposed affront to
the United States will be diligently inquired
into, and that the government will do what
is right in the premises. There is no pros
pect, however, of a war.
The Sentinel seems to record the fact with
pleasure that some guerilla Mexicans, who
are probably responsible to no authority rep
resenting Mexico, walked over the flag" on
the ship, trampling it under their feet"
1t is the opinion of many well-informed per-
sons that there are many Mexicans on this
side the Rio Grande who would like to do
the same thing. People who object to walk
ing under the flag would walk overit, if they
had the power.
Our copy of the Sentinel further says:
s'Thc question now arises, will our govern
ment quietly submit to such an insult or will
it demand and enforce indemnity 1t is in
timated, in the Northern papers, that the
sailing of the fiI5ate Susquchannah, with
L
orders for Mexico, is with reference to the
matter of PREPARATION. We are incredulous.
The power and resources as well as the cour
age, of the government, appear to exhaust
themselves upon the people OF South"
The Sentinel and those for whom it speaks,
would only be too glad to see the United
States involved in another war: They want
war; with the hope that it viii bankrupt the
national treasury, and, by producing great
distress among all classes, pave the way for
the election of Democrat or Rebel to the
Presidency in 1868. This they think prob
able, but they would very much like a
chance to rift off from the United States, in
some CONFUSION which VIE might cause, and
thus secure the still cherished independence
of the Southern States. But they will not
be gratifed The Union of the States is an
accomplished fact, and
g Its flag will fly,
Till Times last whirlwind sweeps the vaulted
sky"

power, resources and courage" on the

his liberty2 Is this government not feeding
and clothing to-day hundreds of thousands
