The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1867-05-15

The Sentinel alludes to the fact that we
have failed to publish the statement of Mr..
Anderson, Superintendent of the N. G. Rail-
road, giving his reasons for the discharge of
Col. Dunn. We received the statement
from Mr.. Anderson, but declined to publish
it, because it contained a grave charge affect
ing Col Dunn's personal character. We
shall believe the charge when proved, but
not before. If it should be proved, we will
have no hesitation in regarding Col. Dunn
as unworthy of confidence or respect.
We repeat our statement that no uncon-
ditional Union man or Republican can
obtain employment under our State corpor-
ations; and that services performed for the
Confederacy, and sympathy with the lost
cause y constitute with these corporations
the passport to office or employment.

Hon. Henry wilson.

The Hon. Henry Wilson spoke twice in
Charleston to large audiences. He was well
received. A. G. Mackey, Esq, introduced
him to the meeting. The colored people
present, by showing of hands, announced
themselves unanimously with the Republican
party. The Charleston correspondent of the
Herald, under date of the 9TH says:
Senator Wilson is still here. ! He started
for Savannah on Saturday morning, but af-i
ter getting out to sea the boat had to put
back to Charleston ON account OF severe
storm. General Sickles, General Scott and
many of the prominent citizens have paid
him all due attention. He abandons his
contemplated visit to Beaufort and Savan-
nah, and leaves here to-morrow for Augusta.
From there he goes to Montgomery, thence
to Mobile, thence to New Orleans, and from
there he ascends the Mississippi. He pur-
poses speaking at various points in Tennes-
see and Kentucky on his way north.
In his second speech here, on Friday night,
Mr.. Wilson referred to the intimations which
are being made. that colored men who vote
with the republican party may lose employ,
ment and be turned out of their cabins and
holdings, and he said that would be the first
act towards coniscation, if it should take
place. He thought it very likely that Con-
gress would regard it as a violation of the
reconstruction law, which contemplates the
free exercise of manhood suffrage, and would
confiscate the property of men SO offending.
He himself would support such measure !;
but if the reconstruction act was carried out
fairly and impartially, and proper persons
were chosen as Senators and Representatives,
he believed the rebel States would be read
mitted, and that no measure of confscation
would be resorted to. 10
The colored people INDUCED largely to-
day in their new privilege of riding in the
street cars. The whites took it with good
humored resignation"
Mr.. Wilson was in Augusta, Ca, on the
9Th, and was to have spoken there on Mon
day last.

:. How are the mighty Fallen 20

S" oAC sAC L dhCA
Jefferson Davis once the President of the
so-called Confederate States, will soon be
placed on trial for the crime of High Trea-
son. Three years ago Mr.. Davis welded
imperial power. Vast armies of freeborn
Americans obeyed his nod, and his word was
law to eight millions of people. He involv-
ed his country in war to secure the right to
carry slavery into new regions. and to render
it perpetual and predominant on this conti-
nent. Behold the result The cause which
Mr.. Davis advocated, and maintained for
years in council and on the battlefield, has
ignominiously failed. The people whom he
sought to continue forever in slavery, are
now free; and some of these very people,
once slaves, constitute part of the jury that
will try him for the crime of treason. He is
about to he taken from his place of confne-
ment in Fortress Monroe, to be brought to
Richmond for trial, and it is stated that he
will be consigned to the Libby prison, the
place in which so many victims of his
usurped power suffered from cold and hun
ger under the hand of brutal jailors. 1t is
also singu lar fact that John Minor Bolts,
who is the foreman of the jury to try
Mr.. Davis, was confined by Mr.. Davis in this
very prison for his Union sentiments.
In beholding such spectacle all human
resentment dies. No sharper pang could be
inflicted on so proud spirit than the con-
sciousness that he is pitied by those whom
he has ruined, and over whom he once held
the tyrant's lash.
To descend from great things to small, we
may mention that only six months ago JON
athan Worth, the Governor, so-called, of
this State, deliberately suggested in his
message to the Legislature that the colored
people were in the way in North Carolina,
and ought to be distributed" throughout
he country. But Congress conferred upon
the colored people the right of suffrage,
and soon after this, Governor Worth
called meeting of this people and address
ed them, urging them to vote with him
The coored people heard him patiently and
respectfully, and then unanimously declared
they would not vote with him. In the
course of his remarks to the colored people
this Governor, so-called, who was so arro-
CANT six months before, and who had pro-
posed that this people should be gotten out
of the State, was so reduced and so meek in
his bearing that, to sustain his character,
and to make good lis statement that he was
peculiarly their friend, he referred to one of
his own servants, and told every one who
was disposed to doubt his word to task
Stephen" if what he said was not so. Verify,
great change has come over the dreams of
certain people during the last six months.

Gen. schofeld has very properly ordered
that Fl. Rives Pollard shall not deliver his
lecture in Virginia on "The Chivalry of the

Gen. Schofeld to let him deliver the lecture.
This is good. All such pestilent traitors as
Pollard ought to be put to hard labor in the
corn fields, to make bread for the starving
widows and orphans of the Soatk We

from Montgomery county to this city informs
us that he has rarely, if ever, seen as fine q
prospect for wheat as the present 1t is

that, without some unforeseen accident, the

OCR LOAN ASSOCIATTONs.-No enternr;s
that Smyrna ever engaged in has been of NOR,
advantage to it than our Building and Loar
Associations are like to prove There are If
the two Associations over 5000 shares of stock
and every month one dollar per share for each
share OF stock owned is paid into the treasury
and Immediately loaned to some member. who
can pay large premium therefor, because the
principal never has to be refunded. Thus
last week, the Smyrna Association loaned
$1,000 at 26i per cent premium, and the Dia-
mond State, this week, loaned $1,000 at 25 per
c'nt And thus it is every month. This is
the eighth month that each Association has
been in existence ; therefore every stakeholder
having five shares has paid in $40, which is
now worth about $53-an increase of 81 ner
cent. In addition to this great advantage, it
Is saving fund. A large number of our young
men, mechanics, clerks, etc., are shareholders
and are each month laying up from 81 to S..
(some more, perhaps which is so much saved
that was heretofore spent, they hardly knew

done without materially contracting the cur-
rency, although it is well remarked that the
currency will be governed by the law of supplv

should be paid in uniform money. not cold
