RALEIGH. N. c., TIL URSDAY.

call for July session of Congress. The
people demand it. They want rebuke adj
ministered to the usurping Executive which
shall be prompt and decided. And they in
sist that immediate legislation shall remove
all doubts respecting the force and scope of
the military BILL which have been suggested
by the preiudiced "opinion" of Attorney
General Stanbery.
1t is to be hoped that every loyal newspa-
per in the North will urge upon our repre-
sentatives in Congress the Importance of be-
ing in Washington ON the 1st of July, in
order that the extra session, contemplated by
law under certain exigcncies, may be conf
menced at that time.
* i 4
Let Congress assemble. Let it pronounce
at once, and in emphatic terms, its opinion
OF the Executive usurpatiOn. Let it demand
the instantaneous removal of rebel officers
who may have been restored previous to its
meeting, in accordance with the "opinion"
of Stanbery. Let it pass a supplemental or
explanatory act, which will remove all
doubts as to the powers conferred under the
laws already i'll existence. Then if the
President continues obstinate and unyielding
let it proceed to exercise the authority vest
ed in it by the Constitution, SO declsively as
to prove, once for all, that no officer of the
United States Government can with impuni
ty exceed the line ofhis duty or trench upon
the functions reserved to other departments.
From the New York Independent.
The appearance of such an opinion at the
present time shows clearly enough that the
President is bent on mischief and hence it
becomes important that quorum of Con-
gress should meet on the Sd of July, and
either remove him by impeachment or
promptly enact supplemental law strong
enough in its provisions to battle his evil de-
signs 1t is true that the President is not
bound to act upon the advice OF the Attor-
ney General; but that he will not do so it
would not be safe, from what we know of
his character, to presume There is every
reason to believe, on the contrary, that the
said advice was furnished by his own insti-
CATION, as an excuse for measures which he
fully intends to adopt, if Congress shall fail
of coming together upon the day to which it
stands adjourned. 1t will he great and in
excusahle blunder to give him five months
in which to work his malign will upon the
question of reconstruction. with no restraint
save that which Mr. Stanbery's preposterous
construction of the law has not removed.
We presume that, in view OF the dangers
which now menace the country, there will be
general and hearty concurrence of senti-
ment among all loyal men in favor of a meet
ing of Congress on the third of July. Even
Conservative Republicans must, we should
think, recognize the necessity for such a
meeting.

HOUSE CLEANING.

The following poetic ehusion 10 appropriate
TO the present time, and will BE- appreciated by
hosts Of readers who passed through the perils
of house cleaning]
"The melancholy days have coae, the saddsst
Of the year."
OF cleaning paint and scrubbing floors, and
securing far and near.
He1ped in the corners Of the room, the ancient
dirt lay quit,
And spiders wove their web secure from fear
and din and riot;
BIT now the carpets all are up, and from the
staircase top
The mistress calls to man and maid to WELD
the broom and mop.
Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms, the
house but now presented,
Wherein We dwelt, nor dreamed Of dirt, so cory
and contcnted!
Alas they're turned all upside down, that quiet
suit Of rooms,
With slops, and suds. and soap, and sand, and
tubs, and pals and brooms;
Chairs, tables, stands are standing 'round at
skies and At sevcns,
While wife and maid hy about like meteors in
tho heavens.
The parlor and the chamber aoor was cleaned a
week ago,
The carpets sheok and windows washed, o. all
the neighboFs knew;
But still the sancfsw had escaped-ths table
piled with books,
Pens, ink and paper all about. peaes in It's very

Till fell the women on them all, - falls the

And sighs to 6nd them on the desk CT in the

And then he grimly thinks of her who set this

and stnmps to the amount Of I'll ,02l for
their own use. They also took pen knives,
gold pens and stationary to the amount of
1928. They also voted themselves Supreme
Court Reports, Adjutant Generals Reports,
Revisions, Laws, Manuals, and other hooks
to the amount Of about $4,000. Here We
have the snug little sum Of S33,744 appro.
priated for the individual benefit Of Senators
and Representatives, and the only item OF
this amonnt which Senator CatteH opposed
was q 9 insignificant one Of distribution Of
Supreme Court Reports.
The cost Of publishing the laws for the en-
liyhtenmcnt Of the people Of the entire State,
as estimated by Mr.. Cattell, is little more
than $25.000 about $4,000 less than the
members voted for their individual use. We
believe no respectable number Of people have
ever found fault with the Members ofthe Leg
islature for voting to themselves this amount,
for the usual extras which oil Legislative
bodies use. Bot how . Senator can vote
these extras for himself and colleagues, and
refuse to vote much smaller sum for the
publication Of the Laws for the people Of the
eutire State, we cannot comprehend.
The Marion Register shows that the aver.
age cost Of publication of the Laws to each
tax payer is about fifteen cents. Does Mr..
Cattell believe that there are even 1000 out
Of the 100000 inhabitants of Iowa who
would rather save the Is cents and be de.
prived Of the publication Of the Laws? We
are willing to accord to Senators Cattell,
Stubs and Parvin entire honesty ofpurpose
in opposing the publication of the Laws, bu,
they must excuse US if we ca, not support
either them for Governor Of Iowa.

ing that be has ever attained--to be willing
to aid in elevating such man in his ambi-

Senators Cattell, Stubs and Parvin Ger.
tainly cannot complain because the Press oi
Iowa will not help to elevate them higher in
positions Of profit and honor. They have no
right to expect or ask such aid. Every vo>
ter who is honestly opposed to paying for
publishing the Laws ought to rally around
these standard bearers, and when the new
party whose watchwords should be "parsi-
mony" and Ignorance" succeeds in carry

reward in the sum Of Is cents. "Hurrah
