in 1888, when. Confederate notes began to depre-

refused them in payment OF debts contracted be-
fore the war. The banks, 1t is true, continued to

TIE POLITICAL SITUATION.

A correspondent of the Boston .9dUer-
tiseT, who claims to have had recent in
terviews with Senator Sumner and Will
son and Gen. Butler, communicates 10
that paper what puFpOrts TO be their
views concerning prominent political top
les and leading statesmen. His report
is at least gossipy and entertaining, as
personal matters usually are, even if he
is not always accurate.
MR. SUMNER ON STANTON.
Referring 10 Secretary Slanton's re-
movaI, Mr.. Sumner pronounced the event
"a national calamity" because the "reb-
els are everywhere encouraged by it,''
as they see from it that the President is
with them. Yet he is confident ''lhat re-
construction on just principles will pre-
vail in the end" though its trials are
generally increased. In answer to an
of the correspondent, Mr..
Sumner said of Mr.. Stanton:
"Stanton has not the elements of per-
sonal popularity. He never cultivated
The amenities. He is often impatient,
cold, and even harsh and antagonistic,
but he is always patriot. His fidelity
has been constant, down to the last.
Here" he added, handing it to me, "is

who saw him often sin his last official du-
ties, and calls him 'one of the purest

same time. OF eousse he is a usurp and

not act accordingly long ago."
He complained Of the hesitation Of
Congress on the impeachment question
which be considered characteristic of lis
whole course during the war. In answer
to d QUESTION in regard to the causes
which have Influenced Congress-espe-
cially the Senate-he spoke as follows oI

SENATOR FEssEEDEN's CHARACTER

"His forte is personality. He runs to

GEN. BUTLER ON JOHNSON.

The next celebrity upon which the cor
respondent of the Advertiser called was
Gen. Butler, and the conversation very
natural turned upon President johnson
and his removal Of Stanton, Sheridan and
Slckles. If the President could be ca
culated upon as other men, he thought
these acts might be regarded as part of
a plan to take the control of he Govern
meht, and that is putting Gen. Grant In
to the War Department his object was to
familiarize the army with his control.

GENERAL GRANT.

GENERAL GRANT,
The Senator confessed himself puz.
zled by the position of General Grant
In reference to his acceptance of the
portfolio of the War Department, he
said:
There can be no military obligation
on a General to assume a civil office.
Grant might have refused and thrilled the
country to the confusion of the President
aud the rebels. So, at last, it seems TO
me. Such refusal would have been no.
tice that a patriot like Stanton should
not be struck through him, and would
have helped to make the President pow
erless. Il would have been notice also
to the rebels that they could have no
hope through him. confess this is what

" Regulators

The outrages so frequently perpetrated
by armed bands of disguised scoundrels on
the property of people in the country, are
attracting public attention. They must be
stopped, and it will be disgraceful to our
people if they are not. Every one of these
"raids'' is public calamity, for the reason
that they are misrepresented at the North
as the violent acts of disloyal persons at
the South towards helpless freedmen which
the civil authorities do not endeavor to
punish, &C., &C., &c. Moreover, they tend
directly to stop the farming operations of
the poorer people who are unable to re-
place the horse or mule which these despe-
radoes and thieves take from them, and
are thus the cause of great distress and
suffering. But no such considerations as
these ought to be taken into the account
1t is enough that the good order of society
is endangered and the laws set at defiance
with impunity, and if in these days and
with the same number of civil officers in
every county as formerly, and with all the
pressing necessities for the preservation of
peace and quiet which surround us, we
cannot protect ourselves from a few dozen
robbers in disguise, we are contemplate
indeed, and do not deserve to be trusted
with the management of our own affairs.

A Canadian Roman Catholic Miracle.

A document has been published by au-
thority of the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Quebec, giving, at great length, the particu-
lars of a miraculous cure effected last New
Years day by the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
and the authenticity of which is certified
by DR.. Lachalne, graduate of the Lavel
University. The scene of the miracle was
the Jesus Mary Convent, at Point Levi,
opposite Quebec.
In November, 1862, nun of that insti-
tuition, Sister Mary F. Thomas, after an
attack of pleurisy, went into a consump-
tive decline. Last May hemorrhage of
the lungs commenced. In the month of
December she had to take to her bed, be-
ing unable to dress herself. The symptoms
became worse, and her confessor began to
administer the last consultations of religion
At this stage the superior of the Convent
told her to pray for cure. She did so,
addressing herself to the Immaculate Mary.
The other nuns did the same, and all were
inspired with firm faith that New Years
day would witness cure. On the 31st of
December candles were kept burning all
day before the image of Mary. At six o.
clock on New Years morning she arose,
after refreshing sleep, perfectly cured
When the doctor came she opened the door
to him, and he, OH seeing her, was thun-
derstruck, and believed he was dreaming
He now certifes that on the 31st of Deem
Der she was IN the last stage of pulmonary
consumption, and that on the 1st of Jan
uary she was instantly cured, and that the
cure is miracle.

Railroad to the Roanoke.

The Tarboro' Southerne,' says 800, OOC
has been subscribed toward building
the railroad from Tarboro' to Williams
ton on the Roanoke. From the same
souce we learn that a meeting of the
stockholders is to be held at Williams
ton on the 18th of this month. When this
road is built all the produce heretofore car
ried to Norfolk, Petersburg and Whining
ton, from regions of that section of coun-
try by rail, will find its way to the Roanoke
and thence by water through the Albemarle
and Chesapeake Canal to Norfolk, or by
sail vessels to New York and other northern
ports That is, we think, settled fact -
We cannot blame the people of that Sec
ton for making an effort for their own in
terest. They are rather to be commended
for their enterprising spirit
The SOutherner informs Us that there
are already four steamers running between
Williamson and Norfolk and Baltimore.

Col. Tew.

We have, within the last few days, pub
lished two paragraphs relative to Col. Tew.
These reports were both based upon the
assertions of the same party, and now we
copy below similar statement from the
same source, as we find it in the Hillsboro'
Recorder of the 9Th inst. We fervently
hope the report that Col. Tew still lives may
prove true. We are unable to devise why
any mortal man could wish to deceive the
family of Col lew Yet we must confess
that we have but little faith in the report
The Recorder says
1.-THE citizens of this place greatly sur
prised, though gratiied, to learn that Col Few is
probably yet alive. A young man, who gives his
name as W. ". Wallace, citizen Of Little Rock
Arkansas. represents himself to have been pris-
oner i'll the government prison at the Dry Tortu
gas, where he had been confined since June 1868
and from which he was released on the 7th of jan
uary last. He says that among the prisoners at
present confined at Dry Tortugas, is Col G. c.
lew, who was wounded and captured a the battle
of Sharpsburg that he was taken to Fort Della
ware, and afterwards to Fort Cinch on the Florida
coast that at point in his transfer. in at
tempt to escape, he killed Col Turner Of the North
ern army, for which he tried by a court mar
tal, and sentenced to perpetual Imprisonment at
the Dry Trtugas that he had been severely
wounded in his hip, probably i'll the attempt to es-
cape, from which he still suffering. He says
that Col. lew is passing under assumed name,
but that he gave to him his real name; and though
protesting to no intimacy, or frequency of inter
course with Col. Tew is satisfied Of his identity.
1t will be remembered that at the first report of
head this man says he has still the marks of
wound in his head"

Justice He has written to officers and
others in various counties in regard to THEN
arrest, and exhibits a proper appreciation
of the subject. We do not undertake tc
say what is the best course to pursue under
the circumstances, but something ought to

RACES at once. We hope the Legis lature
will Immediately do something in that di-
rection, and that the Magistrates in every
county where these offences have been COM
mitted will also take action in the matter.
No quarter ought to be showed to these

The Pitt county affair, where disguised
party of men forcibly took away from the
Sheriff and Clerk the process of the Courts
returnable to the Spring Term, in order to
prevent judgments from being obtained,
was little ahead of any ''Bill for the re-
lief of the people (which has been offered.
Outrageous, infamous and inexcusable as
it was, there was still at the bottom of the
affair somewhat natural, though misdi-
rected motive, viz the desire to protect
themselves from what they thought was OPP
pression-the oppression of merciless cred
itors but in the conduct of these " Re
gulators - no such plea, bad as it is, can be
offered. They are regular highwaymen,
who rob Unfortunately except where
there are enough white men to re-
sist them, and whenever they COM
NIT robbery they boast that they
have regular organization, extending
through several counties. They defy de-
lection, and go prepared for murder when
they think it necessary. It is impossible,
if the local civil officers of q county are
vigilant that these outrages can continue
without some information being obtained
in regard to the perpetrators and their
abettors. If no complaint is lodged with
the State Executive, or the military officers,
and no effort is made, except perhaps de-
sultory examination of the person robbed,
now-can anything be expected? Let the
people turn out and put a stop to these
lisgraceful outrages.
