MURDER. Monday. the 18th. lust afte,

MURDER. On Monday, the 18th, just after
dark, William Mayo, colored man, was
shot in the left breast and instantly killed,
at the intersection of Morgan and Whining
ton streets. Coroner Crawford held an in
quest during Intervening, and the testimony,
we learn, fixed the killing upon Peter Lane,
another colored man of this City. Mayo was
married to Lanes sister, and for some years
there had been ill-blood between Them
Mayo had returned to Raleigh from Cedar
Creek, where he had been working on the
bridge, and it is understood that he had
some $50 or 70 dollars with him, having
been paid off This fact is supposed to have
been known to Lane and another colored
man named Mitchell. This VIM Henry
Mitchell has been arrested, and Mayo's pock-
ct book containing $7s recovered Mitchell
says that he held Mayo, while Lane shot
him.
Lane has fed. He is a noticeable person,
tall and of strong frame, of light mulatto col
or, quite sensible and shre. d, and crack
blacksmith by trade. Upon close examina-
ton one of his eyes will be found to be in
jurcd. Mayo enjoyed fair reputation
throughout the City for honesty, politeness
and industry. We learn that he has numer-
Gus friends, white and colorca, who are in
terested in endeavoring to secure the capture
of the fugitive Lane.

TIE MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION BILL
TIE Albany Ecening Journal, in an article OH
the military reconstruction bill, says:
"This is a righteous programme. Its ne
cessity has been amply demonstrated by
prolonged experience of tenacious and UNI
Welding bitterness on the part of those who
have been in rebellion, and who still exhibit
on every occasion the same spirit which
prompted them to take up arms against the
Government. The experiment Gas Presi-
dent johnson called it) of civil governments
controlled by the traditional Southern leaders
has failed. 1t is apparent that under this
system there can be no permanent reconstruc-
ton, and no security for the rights of Union
lists During truce-the length OF which
will be determined by their own conduct
the Southern States must be held under mill
tarv domination. The law of the bayonet is
a hard alternative, but it sometimes becomes
an unacceptable one Order enforced by au-
thority is preferable to anarchy created by
loose and irresponsible agencies. 1t is bet
ter to incur all the expense and trouble OF
governing the South during period-if the
end is to be peace and submission-than to
protract indefinitely the turbulent and mis-
chievous condition of affairs which now ex-
lists. For these reasons we have believed it
necessary to provide for the continuance OF
martial law in some respects throughout the
unrepresented States And for these reasons
we are heartily rejoiced by the action of the
House yesterday, which we hope will be
speedily concurred in 10y the Senate"

THE CosF1scAr1oS PRoeRAMxE.-In thu

THE CoNFIscATI0N PRoGRAMME.--In tho
House, on Monday, Mr.. Stevens said
'' The President has already, as far as he
is able, and illegally, pardoned and restored
to these rebel traitors property which was
conliscatcd by the act of 1862 AMI he had
done that in defiance of the law. Last Sat-
urday gentleman from Alexandria came to
income of the judges there-and told me Of
the case of an old gentleman who had bought
some seventeen thousand dollars worth of
property under a tax sale of tie United
States, but that the rebel, whose property it
had been, came recently with the Presidents
pardon and an order for the restoration of
the property; and an ejectment has been
brought in the State court, and, beyond all
question, the recovery will be had Sir,
more than two billions, SO far as can ascer-
tain, of property belonging to the United
States, confscatcd not as rebels property,
but as enemies property, has been given
back to enrich traitors. Our friends whose
houses have been laid in ashes, whose farms
have been robbed, whose cattle have been
taken from them, and whose houses have
been rif1ed, are to go forth suffering and la
boring, while Wade Hampton and his Black
Horse Cavalry are enjoying their millions of
dollars, and while all these men along the
Valley and elsewhere, with their manors of
thirty thousand acres, are still enjoying them.
God willing, and 1 living, there shall be q
question propounded to this House and this
nation whether portion of the claims of
loyal men shall not be paid by the confsca-
ted property of rebels. But this bill cuts US
all out This bill is helping the President
to take from the people that which belongs
to them, and to give it back to traitors"

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,

washington, january 25th 1857.
SIR Your prompt and active co-opera-
ton is respectfully solicited in furtherance
of the object OF the following joint resolution
of Congress, approved January II, 1867:
PUBLIC REsoLUTIoN-No. 81
"a RESOLUTION to provide for the exhibition
of the cereal productions of the United States
at the Paris Exposition in April next
Resolved by The Senate and House Of Representa-
ties of the United States Of America IN Congress as
sen.bled, That the Commissioner of Agriculture
be, and he is hereby, instructed to collect and
prepare, so far as practicable, and with as little
delay as possible suitable specimens of the cereal
productions of he several States of the Union,
for exhibition at the Paris Exposition, and for
ward the same in proper order and condition for
shipment TO j. c. Derby, agent of the United
States Government for the Paris Exposition, at
New York: PiOvided, that it shall require no
further appropriation from the public treasury"
An exhibition such as is proposed of the
finest samples of the best varieties of wheat,
corn. and other cereals, would command the
admiration of Europe, as it would assuredly
arouse the pride OF all Americans, and l re-
gret that this Department has not been au-
thorized to make collections for this purpose
until the present time. The Exposition opens
on the first of April, and collections should
be sent in a few days from the reception of
this request to be in season for proper ar
rangement, packing, forwarding to New York,
and transportation to Paris. You will rem
der the country essential service by i'm
mediate and judicious action in this matter.
1t is desirable that small packages of the
finest samples of the best varieties of such
products of your neighborhood should be for
warded, by mail, in packages of two pounds
or less, each distinctly marked with name,
donor, local name, and county and State in
which it was grown.
Such packages, addressed to the Commits.
siouer of Agriculture can be sent without
postage from any post office in the United
States. AS it will be seen, the resolution
makes no appropriation for this purpose ;
therefore, parcels should not be sent by ex.
press in any case, unless at the expense of
communities represented.
Fiji Very respectfully,
ISAAC NEWTON,
Commissioner.

Poor, poor Crawford!

"SocIAL EQUALIrY."-In letter to the
indianapolis Journal, in reference to some
recent troubles in that city, on account of
the attempted exclusion of colored people
from his lecture, Fred. Douglass thus tersely
sums up the whole question OF" social equal
ity :"
"You represent me as demanding social
equality for the negro. 1 must ask, is this
quite fair What is social equality 2 Does
it consist of being in the same hall, and on
the same floor listening to the same lecture 2
Do you regard every man as socially equal
with you because you are on the same floor
at church, market or elsewhere9 Do not
character. wealth and intelligence control the
matter of social relations When we meet
in a public hall do not we meet as citizens,
as the public the rich and poor, noble and
ignoble, standing upon common footing
But is it not quite another thing to force me
into association with all I meet as equal
citizens in street or hall I? My parlor, and
nv table, and my hand are my own, and
can choose my own friends and associates,
and you have the same right; but when you
60 into public hall you venture beyond
your parlor limits. and your right ends where
that of another man begins"

Poor Crawford !

The LAST MAN.-On the day which witnessed
the final act OF that series of tyrannies which has
dsgraced the closing session of the Thirty NntI,
Congress, was announced to that body by tele-
graph, the death of Samuel Downing, the last of
the soldiers ofthe American Revolution.
He died in time, just in time. to escape being
witness of the overthrow of that liberty for which
he fought.-Ia. hsdex
What mistake. The old man died at
the very moment when the work of saving
the Union was about to accomplished. If
the present Congress had expired without
some act on its part to make good the sacri-
fees and sufferings incurred during four
years war to suppress the rebellion, patriots
like Samuel Downing might we'll have de-
spared OF Liberty and Union. But the
Union is now safe. 1t will be restored in
good time, on just principles, and it will en-
dure for ages. Samuel Downing could have
exclaimed, with his last earthly emotion,
columbia, Columbia to glory arise,
The Queen of the world, and the child of sl,ies f..
Thy Genius commands thee, with rapture behold
While ages on ages thy splendors unfold.n

,be Language of Hatred and Treason.

The Language of Hatred and Treason.
With certain exceptions, Congress has per-
mitted the great body of secessionists and
traitors to vote in recognizing the South
ern State governments, while it has banned
thousands of good Union men; and yet these
secessionists and traitors, instead of thank
ing Congress for its liberality and kindness
towards them, curse it and the Northern peo-
pie with exceeding bitterness and fury.
These traitors fondly hoped that their pre-
tended State governments would be continu-
ed, so that they might retain power to per-
secute and Cypress the Unjonists of both
races, and enjoy the Offices of the country,
for which, in 1860, they involved the people
in war. They were opposed to any plan
which would disturb them in their hold on
the State organizations, while the Cnionists
on the other hand were in favor of any meas
ure which would pave the way for the return
of the States to the Union. This is the diff
ference between the two. The Southern Sc
cession presses receive the bill recently pas
sed by Congress with the most bitter denun-
Citations. We copy the following from the
Petersburg Mdec as a specimen of the hatred
and treason which we find to greater or
less extend in all these journals:
All this and more has Congress done toward the
Southern States. But this people cannot follow
the example of their ancestors. Their swords are
broken, their bravest sleep upon blood-stained
shields, their banners hang as trophies IN the Toe
mans halls, their cannon frown upon them from
the victors strongholds. They are disarmed,
treasureless impotent. There remains to them
only one defence against AFFECT slavery, and 1t IL
the Jealous preservation Of the spirit OF freedom
still abiding in their hearts. Southern limbs may
clank Northern letters, and Southern necks wear
Northern yokes, but SO long as our people, true
to themselves, keep mind and soul untainted,
they can never be degraded, nor the hope of deli
verance be ever extinguished.
That Government which rests not upon the

THE LEGIsLATURE-We have noticed
that the General Assembly of this State has,
for some time, been in the habit of opening
its sessions without prayer, as was hereto
fore the meritorious custom. These short
predatory prayers, by some minister, may be
considered unnecessary now, as the members
themselves are continually preying!
Seriously, we cannot understand why that
body should continue in session without do
ing anything for the benefit of the people
whose money they are devouring every day to
the amount of twelve or thirteen hundred dol
lars. However, our representatives, Wilson
and league, 1--WE don't know so well about
Matthews, must not be connected with that
class of men to whom our structures ap-

Railroad Meeting at Trinity College.

The citizens of Trinity College and vicin-
ity met at the College, Feb. 16, to take into
consideration the proposed Railroad from
the Coal Fields to Mt. Airy. James Leach
was appointed President, and B. Craven,
Secretary of the meeting. After full dis
cussion, a committee that had been appoint
ed for that purpose, reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adop-
ted:
Resolced, That the proposed road is of the
greatest importance to this section of the
State. and that we will not only favor it by
all proper means, but we will aid in furnish
ing the money to build it to the utmost of
our ability.
2. We are satisfied, that by far the best
route is by way of the Factories, Trinity Col
lege. High Point and Salem From Deep
River to Salem, 30 miles, it will not be nee
essary to cross any streams of consequence,
not a single bridge to be built, and the gra-
ding will cost less, perhaps, than the same
distance in any other section of the State.
3. BY this route the road will pass through
section Astounding in valuable freights
throughout, and will he on or near the g old
Fayetteville Road" the line of all the noun
tain travel for the last hundred years, and
no other route can have so many important
points. and so many controlling lines of ira
vel and trade.
L. This route would not only develope and
be supported by the unequalled water pow
er of spindles. and an incalculable amount of
machinery of every kind !; but would pass
centrally through section abounding in
valuable metals. Within radius of ten miles

Resolced, That the Secretary be requested
to correspond with the President of the Yves
tern Road, and to take such steps as may be
necessary to have the merits of this route du-
ly reprented.
Resolced, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the Raleigh, Fayetteville and Will
mington papers.
