THE HEAD OF A DEAD MAN TRIEsToi
SPEAK.--A poor fellow was guillotined,
in Paris few weeks ago. According,
to The custom, his head and body were
given the surgeons for the "advancey
ment of science" An experiment was
tried with tho head with q very inter-
estlng result. They injected into the
arteries freshIarterial. blood taken from
n dog, and shortly afterward the, head
gave unmistakabIe sign Of life. The
color returned to the cheeks and lips,
the eyes opened brightly and gazed
upon those around, the lip moved asif
attempting y&inly to speak; and tho
entire face bore the semblanceto active
life. SO soon as the operator ceased
to inject the life blood Of the dog, the
appearances OF death rapidly succeeded.
ii was earnestly held by the eminent
surgical gentlemen in attendance, that
during tho operation the brain was IN
full and natural action, and that the
lips tried to ritter the last thought
which found resting place in the mind

One of the Dangers.

Among the many dangers connected with
the new order of things is Illustrated by
the following from the Washington Union,
as the result of the election last week in
the District of Columbia. What is here
pointed out may be extended throughout
the South. If similar feelings and antago-
nism become general, the evil effects of the
late measures of Congress will be made
manifest upon those for whose benefit the
legislation is thought to be intended
We hope, however, the good sense and pru-
dent action of both classes will check re-
suit that otherwise must be inevitable
Since the election on Monday not less than
fifty negroes have been discharged. and others
will be as soon as white men can be found to ill
their places negro BARRIERS losing their GUS
toners, and hundreds Of negroes are lettering
around the corners, and their grumblings can be
heard by the passersby. They pointing out
to each other the men who discharged Them and
in some instances threats of vengeance have been
made. This is an unhappy state of things, and it
is not yet at its worst. The antagonism is grow
ing stronger and stronger every day, and what
the result will be no knows but we are pretty
sure it will not be of much benefit to the negro.

Hon. nj. r, Manly.

We publish elsewhere the address OF
Judge Manly to his constituents of the
county of Craven. We feel sure the pa
triotic and intelligent people of that county
will regret to lose the services of their dis
tinguished Senator in any future meeting
which the present General Assembly may
have, as we know the Senate of the State
parted with BIN with reluctance. Judge
Manly may not, and in all probability vii
not, be permitted to take his seat in the
United States Senate to which he has been
elected by the representatives Of the peo-
pie; but it is a satisfaction to every good
man'in the State to know that his retire
nent from public life is not in conformity
with the will of the people whom he has Sc
long and faithfully served, or the result OF
the plottings of the dishonest and willy
politicians who managed to defeat the
wishes of the people of the State last year,
by depriving him of his position upon the
Supreme Court Bench, which he had so
long honored, but his public life ends with
the death of the State itself.
After long and pleasant official connec-
ton with this distinguished gentleman, we
are prepared to add our regrets in behalf OF
the whole State, should the result of the
present political difficulties deprive North
Carolina of his valuable services.

close of the spring months, when it was too
late to begin agricultural operations for the
season with reference to the change, and
everything was in such state of unhinge-
ment and prostration that little could have
been done that year anyway. Last year
was also unfortunate, although the negroes
had learned that freedom was not exactly
synonymous with idleness, and had become
partially cured OF their freaks of vagrancy,
Drowning rains early in the season and
whitening draught afterwards, destroyed
the hopes of the husbandman In large por-
tons of several of the States. Much OF the
cotton seed which had been kept for years,
did not terminate ; WORKOUT implements,
which the planters had ne means to replace,
were an impeachment to cultivation and
the immense consumption OF cattle and
horses by the war left deficiency in draught
animals, which had not been supplied
There is good reason to hope that all these
evils will be escaped this year. Such drown
ing in spring and droughts in summer are
unusual, and not likely to occur again until
after long interval. Tho two years which
have elapsed since the war, have matured
every two-year- old colt into horse, every
growing steer and heifer into an OK or COW,
so that the lack of animals will be meaSur-
ably supplied There is plenty of fresh cot
ton seed of last years growth, and the pro
cecds OF last years crop will enable the
planters to procure ncCdcatoo1 and imple
ments. The negroes have had an additional
year Of training in their new condition, and,
it is to be hoped, have made some prog
ress towards habits of self-imposed indus
try We think, therefore, that the South
Will thrive this wear, as a business Commu
nifty, as they have not before since the be
ginning of the war, and that every future
year will bring additional prosperity
IF the Northern Republicans were actu-
ated even by motive SO creditable as en- |
lightened selfishness, they would try to adj |
vance the South, instead Of iSnobly OBJ !
structing it. The prosperity of that section
will, Ill many ways, increase our own. In
proportion to its growing wealth, 1t vii
moro and more divide with us the burden
of the public debt. The expectation of
it's great staple, when revived to the old
din ensions, will be the most convenient
means of rcdressing our foreign exchanges,
and will enable us to resume specie pay
ments without danger Of il drain of gold to
Europe It will create III the South the
same steady market for Western agrlcul-
ture which the cotton planters enjoy III Eu
rope for their staple, and thus cut up by
the roots one Of the favorits arguments for
a protective tariff,
eff there was ever time when the
South needed to have consohng words
spoken to her, it is now and the only solid
ground of encouragement which we can
discover, is the bounty which Heaven will |
bestow regardless of spiteful politicians.

The Baltimore Conference NJ. E. Church
South have cast unanimous vote in favor
of Lay Representation and Of changing the
Church name to Episcopal Methodist. The
minority vote on Lay Delegation was pre-
viouslv 33 more than one fourth of the
whole vote on Lay Representation, and 50
more than one-fourth on the change of
Church name. This required 90 votes,
clear, to carry the first and i59 votes to
carry the second, under the requisition for
three fourths' majority. The Baltimore
Conference voted on each, 1Ot yeas with
no nays. This carries Lay delegation by
fire majority III the vote of the whole
Church. The change of name is lost by
So. It is believed that conference in Il
hnols will join the Southern Church with
votes enough, if allowed, to overcome this,
and thus carry both measures, after both
had been given up for lost.

very best citizens, be brought forward, and
much is ut stake. Before this election, all
Others heretofore held in the State pale
into insignifcance, and upon its result the
future of North Carolina depends. Bad
men will use every exertion to control the
new voting population to work out their
nefarious ends, and if they succeed, the pro-
scription of the last Congress will not be a
1.-THE of that which will characterize the
legislation of the political vagabonds who
will float to the surface upon the dirty scum
which the storm that is now sweeping over
us will throw up from the filth and mire Of
the bottom.
Let us, therefore, respect the law, as long
as it is in force, and SO soon as the orders
of the President and the Commanding Of
fcer of this Military District are promulga-
ted, let us do all in our power to so control
events, that our country, devastated, I'M
poverishcd and degraded, may still be
saved from greater infamy. The schemes
of disorganizcrs will be thwarted by this
course, and all movements looking to re-
organization of our State Government be
conducted pcaceably and in strict confor-
nifty with the law of Congress. If We are
only true to our State and ourselves, we
may vet recover from the oppression Of
the day, and by firm and wise action ward
off many of the threatened dangers. On
the contrary, if we give up and lie supinely
upon our backs, the storm will sweep on
none the less certain, and its fury will
leave us at the mercy of those whose hearts
are closed to every generous impulse, and
who will make the name Of North Carolina
4 by-word and a reprOaCh forever.
