CITY Affairs.

We publish to-day the proceedings of
meeting held in this City by the Republi
cans in relation to municipal affairs. The
term of the present Mayor and Commission
ers will expire on the 10Th of next month,
when the duty will devolve on the command
ing General tofi the vacancies by appoint
ing loyal Mayor, nine loyal Commissioners,
and a loyal Chief Of Police, who can take
and subscribe the iron-clad test-oath ~,
The meeting referred to was very largely
attended. 1t comprised much of the inteili-
gence, bone and sinew, and loyalty sf our
people. Excellent resolutions were adopted,
and the proceedings were marked by ludg-
ment, order and good ten per. As an old res
ident fthe City, and as one deeply concerned
inthe prosperity of the place, we can assure
the commanding General that this meeting
not only truly represents the. great body OF
our loyal people, but that the persons recon-
mended arein all respects well qualified for
the places for which they have been designa-

sary at present that we should advert to the
very improper and unjust administration OF
our affairs by the present Rebel Mayor and
Commissioners We may do this hereafter
1t is sufficient to say that the great body Of
our people desire thorough change, and
that they look with confidence to the COM
manding General to order this change. 'ag
81 1t was to be expected that the rebel papers
of this City would bitterly assail this move
inent These people, who have been so long
RECALLING themselves at the public teat must
be expected to squeal when they areipulled
away from it. The Sentinel speaks OF the
Republican nominees as !" fellows" and
whines over the prospect that the interests OF
property are about to be sacrificed.
The persons recommended are as intelligent,
as decent, and own as much property as the
present Board If this is denied, and if any
further reflections should be made on the
Republican nominees, we shall go into a
strict comparison, man by man, and show
that the proposed Board will lose nothing in
any respect by such analysis as to character
and property" ae ,ag 5r
The Sentinel, assuming to represent an eff.
fete aristocracy, turns up its pug nose at the
Republican nominees, because they are me isI
chanics and working-men. They are not OF
the elite. They do not represent the potato
top, with the best part Of their families in the
ground. That paper does not like the hard
hand of labor, or the countenance imbrown-
ed by toll in the open air. Poor Sentinel! !

its altar of roses, and take things as they
are. The people are going to rule. Poor

Immigration.


We publish to-day a Circular fLom Mr..
P. Bonfort, on the subject of immigration
Mr., B. is eminently fitted for the business
in which he is engaged. In the language OF
friend, g the only obstacle is rebellion. If
the rebels continue to control, an acre of
land here will be worth about what it was
when Sir Walter Raleigh's ships landed the
colonists in the early times" But we hope
for better things. We can say with conf
, dence to all persons abroad, who con-
/ template settling in North=Carolina, that
the prospect is We shall soon have a stable,
loyal government, with men in Office who
will extend cordial welcome to immigrants,
and that the policy of the new government
will be such in all respects as to render this
State very desirable to settlers with or with
out capital. ~ ,s.lf.s. .-,.s.....sF ye..lT ai

pie and their families with the view of In

ed people whose names are thus used are

it is mean and cowartlly in leading persons

Instead of. giving good advice to this race,
which is so weak because of their want of

ing to improve and benefit them by holding
ont to them the rewards Of energy, industry
and. skill. these leaders strike them in their
feebleness with the WEAPONS of calumny and
malice, and lose no occasion to excite por-
tions of the white race against them by false
! statements as to their purposes and desires.

of harmony and good viii between the two.

will be no distinction in this respect between
the races The people of the United States

lead to the bloodiest, the most desperate,

by the hand of God, as in the case of the color

of God and all the thuntlers of ayenging

will run coeval and coequal with that of

will be no NEGRO government" and no

We are under obligations to MIR. Ashley,
of Ohio, for a copy of his bill, introduced in
the House ON the 5th, to facilitate the
restoration of the rebel States, and for other
purposes"
This bill provides that plenary power
shall be given to the Constitutional Con-
ventions over rebe, State officials, so that
they may remove them and appoint loyal
men in their places; and that majority of
the votes cast shall be sufficient to ratify the
Constitutions. This seems to us an excel
lent measure We have heretofore urged it
in earnest terms, and we trust the Congress
will speedily adopt some such measure. Mr.
Aslielcy deserves the thanks of our loyal
people for his action in this matter.

The following extract is from letter from
an intelligent Republican from Western
North-C Carolina:
81 desire to congratulate you and all coed
Union Republicans on the result of the late
election for Convention and delegates there
to. If falsehoods, SANDERS and disloyalty
could have changed the result, certainly
there would have been no Convention called
nor a single Union man elected in the State
In this district, composed of Ircdel. Wilkes,
Alexander and Caldwell the Republican can
.dioates had the most bitter and vituperous
opposition from the socaled Conservative
party, embodying all the maleontents and
composed mainly of the little village politi-
clans, such us lawyers, doctors, merchants,
clerks, conscript officers, and especially
preachers, secaled. They were conspicu-
Gus in their furious efforts to defeat the Re-
publican party, and it is entirely owing to
the firmness and patriotic impulses that an
mates the toiling masses that we have been
successful I imagine there never has been
so great a disappointment felt by the oppo-
site class I have just alluded to. The far
mcrs and mechanics on returning home
would often look sad and uneasy, and in an
swer 10 enquiries as to the cause would re-
ply that they were told in town that the
Union candidates would scarcely get IL vote,
and would be the worst beat men that ever ran
as candidates for any office; but the result
pruves the gratifying fact that these village
prophets have lost the art of divining and
their pcrnicious politics and principles have
been discarded by that large class ofpeople
who compose and sustain nation.
1t can't be said that the Republican can
lidates were elected by the votes of freed
men alone. for if the writer of this is not
greatly mistaken, they received the votes of
more white men than the so-called Conserv-
ative ticket did in this district. In other
words, our majority is greater than all the
| colored votes cast in the election. Let the
| penny -a-line sheet and editor in Statesville,
put, that fact in his pipe before he puffs his
smoke in any gentleman's face hereafter"
FLORIDA has chosen Convention by
about 800 majority, over the number of
