We copy to-day, from the Hillsborough
Recorder, the proceedings of a rebel meeting
held in Hillsl,orough, in this State, on the
SOth of last month. The whole report is
from the pen of Josiah Turner, Jr., "unpar-
doned rebel.n The resolutions adopted are
clearly seditious and rebellious. respect
fully call tile attention of Gen. Sickles to
these resolutions.
Ofcourse we care nothing about the reso-
luton, offered by one McCauley, in relation
to ourself There is not one word of truth
in it. 1t is rehash of the old slang against
us. Turner's hypocrisy is shown in the fact
that he drew the resolution, got McCauley
to offer it, and then asked him to withdraw
it. As every body knows, Turner made no
objection to Holden when Holden supported
him for the Confederate Congress as the
peace or Union candidate.
This meeting was held under the eye of
Gov. Worth, with his implied sanction
Turner is one of his appointees. Gov.
Worth wanted to make him President ofthe
N c. Railroad. Gov. Worth will not say
that he disapproves this meeting, gotten up
and controlled by Turner The Sentinel, the
Governors organ, will not disapprove the
proceedings of the meeting. The most afro
cious feature in the proceedings is the wish
expressed in the 18th resolution for the death
of Mr. Stevens.
We state these facts, that Gen. Sickles
may see that Gov. Worth is hypocritical and
unreliable in his professions.
We regret that an officer wearing the uni
form of the United States was found in this
meeting, giving to it apparently his counten
ance and appreciation.

The Sentinel is just now disposed to COM
pliment Daniel R. Goodloe, Esq. All such
compliments from that paper are insincere
Mr.. Goodies character is too firmly based
to be thus shaken in the eyes of his friends.
But twelve months ago the Sentinel misrep-
resented Mr.. Goodloe, and then refused him
hearing in its columns. And the Sentinel
of August, 1866, contains the following:
"But, people of North Carolina such
Union as the Radicals commend to our lips,
such a Union as W. W. Holden and his sup
porters commend to US, such Union as
Daniel R. GOodioe and his " Southern loval-
lists" commend to US, stinks in the nostrils
Of every true American 1t would be more
poisonous, more destructive to American lib
erty, than the blighting eff1uvia of the 6ohon-
apas is to animal life."-iSentine3.
Well, we now have just such Union Mr..
Goodies views have prevailed. The blight
ing efluvia of the boh0n-upas' is upon US
Comment is unnecessary.

The Petersburg Express says, Mr.. Will
son did not address the negroes in Rich
mond because he had reason to believe that
Henry A. Wise would have replied to him
He slipped off to Petersburg and made
speech which any coiored individual on the
spot could have surpassed, and any colored
school boy could have answered. Wise
wasn't needed We do not believe word
of this Henry A. Wise has no right to
speak in public, as he has not taken, and
refuses to take the amnesty oath. Mr. Viii
son is not in the habit of /" slipping Off from
Mr.. Wise or any one else.
A few days since an immense meeting of
the colored people was held in Petersburg.
The demonstration was so grand, and the
meeting was so loyal and patriotic that the
Express was struck dumb. 1t was meekly
silent on the occasion, save in its very inter-
esting report of the proceedings. But it has
again found its tongue, and it shows both
its venom and its treason by the above alIu-
sion to Mr.. Wilson.

WASHINGTON, April 10.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
The Supreme Court took the motion for
leave to file the Georgia bill for considera-
ton without argument.
Chief Justice Chase said that if the Court
wished to hear the argument, he would no.
tlfy the counsel.
There was an interesting argument in the
Senate, yesterday on adjournment. The
point made was that special session, called
by the President, cannot legally adjourn with
out his consent. Itwould be dispersion. The
difficulty lies in keeping quorum together.
without which the Senate can neither work
OR adjourn sine die. If a quorum is present
on Tuesday, the session will probably be
prolonged. If not the chairman will adjourn
the Senate under yesterdays action.
Several Radical Senators announced that
were (they) the President, they would per-
sst, like Mr.. johnson, in nominating friends
and supporters. There is no sign of COM
promise.

The Mississippi and Georgia Complaints
in the Supreme Court-The Matter
Under Amusement.
WASHINGTON, April 10, P. NJ.
In the Supreme Court, on the motion to
file the Mississippi bill, the Chief Justice
said:
A motion to file bill was usually granted
as matter of course. But he suggested
that if the bill contains matter which is
scandalous, or unfit to become before the
Court, the Court examines it or refers it to a
Master. In this case, the Attorney General
objects to the bill, as containing matter unfit
to be brought before the Court, and that is
the only point which can now be considered.
Upon that point, the Court will first hear
the Attorney General.
Mr. O'Connor announced himself, and
also his associates, in attendance, should it
be decided to argue both bills
The Attorney General said that the Georgia
bill lacked the point on which he proposed
to oppose the filling of the Mississippi bill.
The Mississippi bill was, in legal sense,
scandalous as it proposed making the Presi-
dent defendant before the Court.
Gov. Sharkey said that he had amended
the hill, so as to proceed against the Presi-
| dent as citizen of Tennessee
Mr. Stanbery read portions of the bill,
claiming that it was manifestly against the
President, as President. He alluded to a
process somewhat similar, issued against Mr..
Jefferson in the Burr trial Mr. Jefferson
did not obey or even notice the process As
an officer. he should advise the President to
disregard the subpoena, and traced thercsult,
should the Court persist and the President
remain firm. The Court, to maintain its
dignity, would have to imprison the Presi
dent for contempt of Court. He maintained
that, equally with the King of England, the
President was exempt from proceedings OF
this kind. He could only be brought before
the body of the Senate. After his impeach.
ment, the Courts could punish him for acts
committed while President. Buthe was be-
yond their Jurisdiction, while occupying the
Presidential chair
He also maintained that the action wa.
against the United States government, q:
much as though the government were named
He announced that he appeared there ut thu
request of the President, for whom, wher
the bills passed over his veto, there was bu
one duty to faithfully carry out and execute
these laws.

RALEIGH. N. q.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18th, 1867.

Holden saws that the President has en-
couraged the spirit of rebellion" by pardon
inc Gov Vance. How is it with MIR. Ste
vens the Standards demigod, Mt. Sherman,
and others. who recommended the pardon?
-iSentinel.
We do not know who recommended the
pardon of Gov. Vance. But every culprit
on the way to the gallows excites sympathy,
and it is easy to obtain names to paper
No array of names could have justified the
President in this act Governors Vance and
Graham and their followers are known to be
enemies to the national government. In
1868 they basely deserted the Union cause
in this State, and went over to the corrupt
despotism of Davis, which they had pre-
yiously opposed as bitterly as we had. They
did this, in our opinion, to save their slaves;
and they put the last poor wool hat white
how in the rebel armies to die for their ne
groes. But they failed. Davis went down,
and the starry flag went up. Two years
have elapsed since the close of the rebellion,
and though these gentlemen and their fol
lowers have been kindly treated by the ma
tional government, and it has done every
thing it could to WOO them back to their
love for it, yet not the first hearty, cordial
word has either of them thus far uttered for
the government or the Union. All the hor-
rors of the war in this State during the
wears 1868, 1864, and 1865, may be traced to
these gentlemen and those who acted with
them. Gov. Vance issued with his own hand
the orders under which scores of Union men
were hanged and shot, and women and chill
dren arrested, imprisoned and outraged, only
because they were true to their fathers, sons
and brothers. Every bullet that crashed
through the brain of the poor Unionist was
substantially directed by his hand. He is
still unrepentant and defiant. In our opin-
ion he will be so always. To pardon such a
man is to offer premium to treason.
No man can say that the writer Of this
was not disposed, at the close of the rebell
ion, to treat Gov. Vance kindly. It.was al
our request, while Provisional Governor, that
the President liberated Gov. Vance from the
Old Capitol prison On his parole. But in
this, as in hundreds of other cases, leniency
was thrown away. The difference between
the President and ourself in this respect is
this: We have long since realized this fact
and as loyal man, we have acted upon it
while he has pursued a course which has in
separately associated him in history with thu
worst enemies of the country.

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALTHAlL, SACHUSETTS,

IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can in
terferc with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty well as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres" "lepines" and English Patent Le-
vers, are perfectly we'll aware of the truth of
thisstatement
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place of these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse of foreign factories which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere
How well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, we are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches OF
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequalled by anything hith-
ertO made by ourselves and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of business, and have filled it with the
best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and we challange compare
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diction that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran-
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. All persons selling
counteriets will be prosecuted.
