COMMUNICATIVE.

Reporter-Do they meet regularly? !?
Communicates, but their meet
ings are secret; they meet in lodges,
and only members are admitted; we
are particular about our members;
all who apply for admission are
obliged to furnish papers showing
their connection with the army, and
an honorable discharge.
Such was the interview our report
er had with one of the military lead
ers of the organization, whose replies
show that this new army may be
used a5 any time at the beck Of Con
gress, to sustain its policy by force.
and to silence all opposition to the
impeachment of the President.
When the fact is realized that it is
unnecessary to create military de-
partments" for a "benevolent" or
ganization, the object of the army,
III the present crisis of the country.
will be found apparent.

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE. A special
despatch to the Savannah Republi-
can, dated Washington, February 10,
says:
''There is hardly a shadow of
doubt that the present State Govern
ments in the South will be speedily
set aside. The only debatable ques-
ton now is whether those who volun-
tarily engaged in the war against the
Federal Government shall be de-
prived of the right of suffrage, as
we'll as the right Of holding any
Office, Federal or State.
''Gen. Banks, who is now consi-
dered a conservative, made q very
strong speech yesterday, in which he
stated that it was yet possible to har-
monize the Legislative and executive
branches Of the Government, and.
also, that none but loyal men. should
vote. Banks and Raymond are sup
posed to have an understanding with
President johnson, and speak by
authority
"From information received from
the most reliable sources, it is evi-
dent that the Constitutional amend
ment is now deemed far from suffi-
clent as aguarantee, anditis generally
believed that large army will soon
re-occupy the States. This may ap-
pear very hard destiny. but cando,
compels us to say it is inevitable. and
the Southern people may as well be-
gin to realize the painful fact"

SUING NOTES OF HAND.-A writer
in the Albany lGa.l Ners SAYS:

Many sharp persons, in taking
notes for old debts, are careful to
have them payable to bearer instead
of to order, and to make them over
$500. Why is this? Anote for $500,
if payable to order, cannot be sued
in the Circuit Court of the United
States, unless the payer Of the note
was q nonresident or otherwise had
the right to sue in that Court. But
if the debt is over $500, and is pay
able to A. b, or bearer, and it is
transferred to a nonresident OF this
State, it can be sued in q Circuit
Court of the United States. The
purpose is to thus get their debtors
before jurisdiction where the rene
dy is more summary and the stay law
Of our State would not be in the way
Of selling the debtors property.

A Washington letter says: Mr..
Colfax, so far, has no opposition worth
mentioning for the Speakership OF
the Fortieth Congress, and it is likely
that an organization of the House
will be effected Immediately. Hon.
James Brooks, of New York, who
was ousted from his seat in the pre-
sent Congress, by 5000 majority,
will probably again receive the com
pliment of u nomination from the
Democratic side of the House.

The New Plan ef Reconstruction.

Inc NatlOnal IiIeHiyenceT says:
eve have full authority for stating
that the plan of reconstruction which
was published in the Richmond En-
qui1'e1' and copied into the MteUigea-
cer is an exact copy of the manuscript
now at Raleigh Thus it was pub
lishcl on Wednesday in the .Se"Nae7,
the able organ of the State adminis-
tration in North Carolina.
In leading article npop this same
subject, the MteUigcace, says:
"The plan which has now gone to
the country originated with the most
judicious men OF the Carolinas, has
been considered hy men OF the South
having the confidence of that sec
ton. by distinguished statesmen and
military chiefs here, and has been
endorsed largely in circles OF conscr-
vative Republicans of the North. 1t
has been submitted to Legislators ut
Richmond, and has been received III
good spirit, though not with nnquali
fled approval. The Legislature of
North Carolina will probably have
the honor of first acting upon a mea-
sure that, like the Mecklcnburg De
claratlon of independence, may be
the initiation of what shall lead to
great and glorious results. Much
will depend, however, upon the
spirit in which it will be received at
the North. If patriotism shall die
tate that party shall stand still,
while measure for reunion of
States and lands, and hearts and
hands, shall be the dominant ques-
ton for consideration until settled in
the interest of all the people of the
country, then our dark day and
perilous period is past. 1t is in the
spirit with which the new plan is re-
ceived. not its details-not in the
prospect of its adoption as whole
that we have hope. If it is generally
received in n good spirit, and with
kind feelings, all the rest will follow
as the light the day."
The New York Herald's Washing
ton correspondent, writing on Thurs
day, says:
From quarter not to be doubted,
L have information that the reported
propositions about to emanate from
the Southern States in reference to
reconstruction are well founded. 1t
Is now we'll known in political circles
that such propositions are under con
sideration, and that the Southern Lee
glslatures now in session are acting
In concert upon the matter The re-
port that they will first be submitted
in form by the Legislature Of North
Carolina is doubtless unfounded.
They will come in general proposal
from the whole South, and will be oe
such a nature as may be acceptable
to the Republican party and the lead
ers in Congress. The greatest inte-
rest is evinced in the matter, and the
anxiety exhibited by prominent
Southern politicians shows conclu-
sively that such measure has been
agreed upon. The Virginia Legisla-
ture now have the subject under con-
siderat;on privately, and, in few
days, if intelligence reaches them from
the South, it will be publicly dis
cussed.

The telegraph informs us that ''the
Portuguese, by Senatorial action,
offer the abolition of slavery in the
Portuguese colonies. We do not
know anything of the conditions,
nor are they important; it is certain
that the present crusade will sweep
slavery from all civilized nations.
Whether the nations will feel any
better after the thing is done, is one
OF those problems mixed up with the
uncertainties of the future.

MAssAcHUsETTs.-The New York
Herald, of Saturday, has the follow
ing paragraph:
1t is understood that the Commit
tee of the Massachusetts, Legislature
has declared against the constitution
al amendment. This is quite cha
racteristic. That State and South
Carolina always go arm-in-arm to-
gether against everything constitu-
However, the amendment will be
passed without Massachusetts,, and
will become part of the supreme law
of the land. She Will then have the
satisfaction, at least, of knowing that
she is consistent in being on the
wrong side whenever the Union and
prosperity of the country is con-
cerned

partakes somewhat of impartiality,

''Such is the absurd legislation
prepared by the chiefs of the radical
party. 1t is useless to discuss it; it
is enough to make public such i'm
practicable measures, which breathe
only the accents of wrath, of ven
geance and passion. and which, it is
hoped, will be speedily repudiated
by the general Reproduction"

Official: T. J. BRAMHALD,
Assistant Adiutant- General

the apartment closed, proceeded to
his house in Fifth Avenue, when the
following dialogue ensued, which the
reader will find bears out the asser-
tions which form the preface of this
article:
Reporter, (handing the Colonel q
copy of the above general orders'I
There is report to the effect that
the grand army of the republic, to
which reference is. made in these
orders, has been raised for radical
purposes, and that it is designed to
be used against the President and his
adherents, should any trouble result
from his proposed impeachment.
Communicate Congress should
impeach the President, [ have no
doubt as to which side the grand
army of the republic will take.
Reporter-Will you please tell me
what are its objects, and when it was
formed?
Commander-It had its origin
some time since, in portions of the
West where there is no militia. Its
objects are of a benevolent character;
it aims to assist all its members who
may be in need.
Reporter-How many men are
there enrolled in the organization?
Commander-Over 500, 900 All
soldiers honorably discharged are ad-
missible. We have Democrats and
Republicans in our ranks; but all the
leading officers are radicals, so YOU
can imagine how the army would be
welded in case of any national ne
cessity.
Reporter-Then the army may be
said to have a radical character in the
maiu?
Communicates; it is under radi
cal officers, and if there should be
any necessity for its services, [ have
no doubt they would be rendered for
the purpose of supporting Congress,

Oaths of Office.

We give below the oath taken by Jonathan
Worth when he was inaugurated as Governor
of North Carolina:
ct, Jonathan Worth, do swear that as
Governor of the State of North Carolina, I
will execute the duties of that important
Office without favor or affection, agreea6ly to
the Constitution and laos Of the State, and
according to the best of my skill and ability.
So help me, God"
A Justice of the Peace, among other
things, swears:
"That will not delay any person of COM
mon right, by reason of any letter or order
from ana person in authority to me directed
or for any other cause whatever; and if any
letter or order come to me, contrary to luao,
will proceed to enforce tile Ian, such letter or
order Notwithstanding"
Every member of the Legislature takes an
oath to support the Constitution of the State !;
and every officer of the State, from the low
est to the highest, is sworn to enforce the
laws of the State.
But the military is supreme. The Gov
ernor can do nothing without permission of
the commanding General. He is sworn to
discharge the duties of his office agreeably
to the Constitution and laws of the State:
yet the commanding General sets aside these
laws, and makes new ones whenever he
chooses Indeed, ace haze no State C0nstitu-
tiOn. President johnson himself declared
that we lost our old Constitution by REBEL
ion, and the Constitution framed by the Con-
vention under the provisional government,
acas 0oted down But Gov. Worth and his
partizans claim that we haze Constitution.
He swears to support it, but breaks his oath
by obeying every hour the orders of the
commanding General, which are in direct
violation of the provisions of that instru-
ment.
What is the remedy2 The remedy is for
the State officers to resign, and let their
places be filled by persons who will be re
CURED to take no such oaths, and who will
be responsible alone to the military for their
action.

Is Your Name on the Role

There are Union men in the South who
decline to unite themselves to the Republi-
can party, and yet declare they are the best
Unionists among us. They are fretted if
their Unionism is questioned Well now,
gentlemen, the Republican party is the
Union party, and there is no other party in
the country. Let us put case: A man vol
unteers for twelve months in the Union
army. He fights through his twelve months,
but declines to re-enlist. Such man has
been a soldier, but he can not claim noao to
belong to the army. 1t is so with the Re-
publican party. The best evidence that a
man is Unionist is to see him in the Re-
publican ranks. He can do but little if any
good if he is not in the ranks. 1t is very
we'll to point to his scars as a volunteer, and
to say he is true; but the conflict is still 60
ing on, and the name of every soldier should
be on the roll, so that, when called to the post
of duty, he can at once respond and 60 for
ward, and by his conduct prove his fidelity.
Is your name on the roll of the Republi-
can party2 If really Unionist, and your
name is not on the roll, put it there at once.
Those who are ashamed of the Republican
party in the day of its weakness in North
Carolina, will be forgotten by it in the day
of its power.
