For the Standard


MEssRs. EDIToRs :-In view of the wild
anarchy that exists throughout our State, is
it to, be supposed that the Pell-Worth gov
ernment OF North Carolina connives at the
outrages that are being committed p While
intimidation, robbery and murder rule the
hour, and the loyalty of our people proclaim
ed by our egotistically loyal Legislature, is it
not surprising that measures have not been
set on foot to check lawlessness and turn
aside the assassins knife2 Would it be out
of the line of duty, of the State govern
mcnt G) to offer rewards for the detection
and apprehending of horse-thieves, and thus
by advice of the old maxim set thief to
catch thief" we might succeed in seeing
some of our scoundrel neighbors brought to
justice. In the meantime, would it not be
well, when suspected parties in neighbor-
hood become possessed of a horse or a mule,
description of such might be forwarded and
advertised through your paper, without max
ing public the locality. and in case such ami
NAL had been stolen, the losing party might
learn his whereabouts on personal applica-
ton at your Office.
The secret societies referred to some time
ago in the Standard are, I am informed, now
in full blast, and some of their modes of
operating are partially coming to light.

Meeting in TransyIvania.

At a meeting of the citizens of Transyl-
vania County near Brevard, on the End day
of February, 1867, Robert Hamilton being

requested to act of Secretary, the following
gentlemen were appointed committee to

meeting to w.t. G. G. Ncill, W. A. Bishop,
]. U. Orr and Rev. A. F. English.
On motion, the Secretary was added to the

were presented and unanimously adopted:
Res0lued 1st, That we fully approve the
course persued by our Representative, Hon..
James Blythe, in the Legislature.
Resozoed, 2nd, That he is entitled to our
continued confidence and thanks for the un-
wavering manner in which he has withstood
the cowardly and unmanly attacks of the
majority of the Legislature towards himself
and constituents.
Resolued, 3rd, That the Judiciary Commit
tee of the House be referred to the records
of the courts in this, the eth Judicial Circuit
of this State, for the verifcation of Mr.
Blythe's statements in regard to the undue
prosecution of Union men.
Resol0ed, 4th, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the Henderson Pioneer for
publication and that the Raleigh Standard
be requested to copy the same.

Petersburg Market.

PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. 1S, 1867
We have very little to say of the markets
to- day. Business was very dull, and there
was scarcely anything doing. There are no
country buyers in yet, and many of our prin-
cipal merchants are out of town buying their
spring supplies. Within the next two or,
three weeks the trade will open, but thus far
the prospects are not very encouraging. Our
country friends will be able to fill their me-
moranda from the stocks of our wholesale
houses and they ought, as far as possible, to
buy their goods here, and not send the money
out of the country. They should at lest give
the preference to the Southern market.
CoTToN-Small sales at an advance ofhalf
a cent in middling, but not enough to give
tone to the market. The staple is frmer, but
the buyers have, for some cause, temporarily
withdrawn from the market. From the
limited transactions we do not feel justified
in altering our quotations. Common, 27@
81! Fair, 2S@2S1; Good, 10000 Choice,
80.
ToBAcco-The offerings On Change to-d5y
fell off very much, but the prices were main
tanned. No quotable change, and no fine
parcels sold. Primings, 0Oa so; Lugs-
low, 8 00a4 so; Good, 4 50a7 90; Fine yell

Action of the Fortieth Congress.

1t now seems to be probable that no final
action will be taken by the 39th Congress in
relation to the Southern States. That body
has probably done as well as it could have
been expected under the circumstances, en-
barrassed as it has been by Executive op-
position and by hesitating, weak-kneed
members. 1t has, at least, laid the founda-
tion of a settlement in the Howard amend
ment, which is now u part of the Constitu-
ton. For this, and for the earnest efforts of
a large majority of the two Houses to settle
our national troubles permanently on loyal
basis, it deserves the thanks of the country.
The 10th Congress will be organized as
soon as the 39th expires, and will proceed at
once to business. This Congress is more
radical than the present one, and is, there
fore, truer to the Union. Nearly every lead
ing radical republican in the 39th Congress
is member OF the 40th and in addition to
this there will be decided accession to the
40th of men like Morton, of Indiana, and
Logan of Illinois, who are fresh from the peo-
pie, and will not hesitate to carry out the
peoples will. The 40th Congress is, there
fore, safer and more reliable body than the
Goth, and we may look to it for early and
