We have already stated that Gov Shar-
key, in behalf of the State of Mississippi,
has fled bill in the Supreme Court of the
United States to test the constitutionality of
the Sherman reconstruction act. So much
for Mississippi. But it seems Georgia is
also in the field. A telegram from Gov.
Jenkins, of Georgia, dated Augusta, April
9th, says: ~ will file bill in the Supreme
Court tomorrow for the relief of Georgia" :"
For "the relief of Georgia" Jenkins, thou
reasonest we'll" A short time since Gov.
Worth was to test the reconstruction act be-
fore the Supreme Court, but 1t seems he has
changed his mind, and he and Gov. Orr are
apparently to acquiesce, while Sharkey and
Jenkins, adopting different course. are to
try the question before the Court. If these
Governors only had chance. with what
eim would they rally their people to fight
against the United States! But their bills
for aelietn will come to naught. Thank
God, we have a Congress of the United
States The President may pardon traitors,
and give the light of his countenance to
copperheads and rebels, and the Supreme
Court may be regarded as a forum in which
treason may sun itself, and gather new
strength for its wicked assaults ON the tenn
pie of our liberties; but Congress, like the
Alleghanies will stand every storm that may
beat upon it. Thank God for the Congress

The Holly spriugs Meeting.

The Sentinel attempts to ridicule the Re-
publican meeting recently held at Holly
Springs, in this County, because it was main
ly composed of colored people. This is in
keeping with the course of that paper The
Sentinel, in its issue of October 13, 1866,
spoke of the colored people as "THE GoD-
CURSED SONS OF HAM," and it cannot bear to
see them assemble in public meeting to as
sert their rights.
The Holly Springs meeting was well at
tended, and was addressed by gentlemen
who uttered sound Republican sentiments
Many of the whites in the Holly Springs
neighborhood are hardened and impudent
rebels, and but for this fact the meeting
would have been larger. We learn also that
some of the colored people were SO threaten
ed by their employers that they were afraid
to attend the meeting. 1t is apparent that
the measure Of punishment for rebels and
traitors is not yet full.

Death Of Joseph B. Hinton.


We learn that this venerable and worthy
man formerly citizen of Raleigh) depart
ed this life on the 9th instant. He died at
the residence of his son-in-law, Isaiah Res
pass, Esq, in the town of Washington,
where he had resided for some twelve months
past. M
Mr.. Hinton had reached ripe old age-
His life had been an active one, marked BY
the vicissitudes of fortune. In his early
manhood he was leading politician in his
section of the State, and enjoyed to large
degree the confidence Of his constituents
In his later years he turned his attention 70
theology and medicine. He was cast in .
large mould, physically and mentally; and
if he had applied himself steadily and h.
bitually to any one Of the learned professiohs
he would have achieved distinction amsng
the first. The writer Of this was acquainted
with him, for twenty-five years. Hecan TN.
ly say, that though peculiar in some q his
ways, he was man Of good heart sterling
honesty, and enlightened and commanding
intellect. He belonged to the " old schoel''
of gentlemen, and was among the last Of tn
generation who took an active part in III
political struggles of 1924 between Adams
and jackson. ~

The Standard.

Our thanks are due to our friends in all
parts of the State for the additions they are
constantly making to our subscription list.
We shall always be found faithful to Repub-
lican principles-the only principles on
which the Union can be reconstructed and
perpetuated; and we trust we shall do moth
ing as public journalists to forfeit the conf
dencc or good opinion of our friends.
Our colored friends will find the Standard
an earnest and fearless advocate of all their
rights, political and civil. We are gratified
to observe that many of them are constant
readers of loyal journals We shall be pleas
ed to continue to add their names to our
list. Those of them whose means are small.
and who can not afford to pay by the year
in advance, can have the paper for six
months, or three months, or by the month or
week.
There are other Republican papers in the
State besides the Standard, which deserve
to be we'll supported. Let our loyal friends
in every locality sustain and encourage the
loyal papers. The reAels, whether in office
or as business men on their own private ac-
count, are disposed to prescribe the loyal
press. Let our Republican friends remember
this, and pay them back in their own coin.
Let no Republican encourage traitors or trea-
son by bestowing his patronage on rebel
Journals. When they repent of their sins.
and begin to lead new life of devotion to
the stars and stripes, it will be time enough
to encourage them-but not before.
Of the Republican or Radical papers out
of the State, that are worthy of patronage,
we may mention the Washington ClirOn-
icle, the Washington Eoening Leader, the
New York Tribune, the New York Eve
ming Post, the Albany Evening. journal, the
sCinclnnatti Gazette, Brownlow's Knoxville
Wing, and the Great Republic, Washington
City. The Chronicle is under the editorial
control of one OF the ablest and worthiest
men in the eountry-John w. Forney-and
is eminently worthy of support. The Great
Republic, recently established by Judge Ed
'munds, is a very able journal, and is the or
.gan of the Grand Army of the Republic and
.of the u. L. A.

To the Republicans at the North.


Our friends in the Northern States are
rich, powerful, and possess many great ora
tors and statesmen. The Republican party
here has been weak and poor hitherto, but
is now fighting itself into commanding po-
sition; yet we do appeal for aid to our
Northern friends. Our platform is that of
the Republican party of the nation, and we
are the loyal clement in the South--the only
leaven there is in the loaf From this time
forward it is our intention to press the CO.
horts of secession on every side, and to make
another open and desperate fight for the
Union. In our ranks are found the colored
voting population. They should be visited
and incessantly taught their duty and their
rights. We need aid. viii not our rich
and powerful friends in the North help us +?
Let their great men come down and confer
with us-address our people, and sow the
seeds of reconstruction broadcast over the
land 1t is great work, and no efort
should be spared to ensure success.
We can also assure our friends that if thei
orators come down, the people will turn ou
in hundreds to hear them. Why, therefore
should they delay9 The harvest is ripe
but the iaborers are few.

Gov. Worth Submits /!

1t seems that Gov Worth was ordered to
report to Gen. Sickles at Charleston, for in
structions; and, having done SO, we are
gravely informed by telegraph that the Gov
eernor accepts the Sherman act, and will adj
wise the people of this State to reconstruct
,,lnder 1t
SSo:the Governor at last understands the
situation. He could not see it when he was
lin Washington, nor when he returned; but
when the crisis approached that was to wit
mess }iis prompt acceptance of the situation
or his removal from Office, the scales fell
from his eyes and be sawi We fear that for
"a long time his vision will so magnify every
thing that he will see Radicals las trees
walking" These Radicals loom up terribly
tbefore his eyes.
''tNow'let the kettle to the trumpet speak,
The trumpet to the ,annoneer without,
The cannon to the heavens, the heavens to EARTH
Gov. Worth accepts the situation! 1t re-
rmains'to be seen whether lie has done s.,

Gov. Orr,s Speech.


We are tempted to make some comments
on the extraordinary speech of Gov. Orr, de-
livcred at the banquet in Charleston, on the
Cd instant; but, under the circumstances,
and especially as the speech was delivered
in the presence of the military commander
of District No. 2, with his APPARENT approval,
we fo.bear. -.
We must say, however, that we deprecate
the tone and much of the substance of this
speech. There appears to be disposition
to excite prejudice in the minds of the COL
ored people against the government, on ac-
count of the tax on cotton and the illusions
to yankee emissaries" coming among the
colored people to instruct them, evinces a
bitter, contracted, sectional spirit, unworthy
of Governor who processes to be national
and loyal in his views. Gov. Orr also as
sails the Republican party, and throws the
whole weight of his influence against the
effort which is being made to establish a
Republican party in his State. We think
we have had quite enough of South Carolina
politics All our woes may be traced to the
wicked act of that State, when, in her pride,
arrogance and self-will, she made the plunge
of disunion in 1860, and dragged other
States along with her into the vortex of fire
and blood, and anarchy from which we have
not yet fully emerged. 1t becomes such a
State to sit down very meekly in the valley
| of humiliation, and submit to such terms as
the conqueror may impose. The misguided
people of that State ought to be glad to bt
admitted within thefolds of the Republican
party. One thing, at least, is certain, they
will hardly be able to entitle themselves te
participation in the benefits and blessings
of tie Union while they put forward suct
men as their leaders as Wade Hampton ant
Gov. Orr, and pursue course calculated tt
continue the bad feeling which unfortunate
ly exists between the North and the South
Gov. Orr evidently needs to be reconstruc
ted. He will not get his State back in th'
Union by such speeches as that delivered b,
him on the occasion referred to.

Wesee from the proceedings ofa public meeting
in Wilkes County, published in the Standard,
that Col. Deweese, of the United States army,
who had been sent into Western North-Carolina,
by Col. Bomford, on purely official mission, is
perverting his duties and position by making
Radical speeches. Col. Deweese is the same per-
son who boasted in the late Holdenite meeting
in this city, of his bunnaing operations in Arkar-
sas, and brought down the House, by the
recita.-Sentila.
The meeting addressed by Col. Deweese
was composed of citizens of all shades of
politics, loyalists of course preponderating.
Col. Deweese simply performed his duty as
a federal officer in urging the peopleto COM
ply cheerfully with the Sherman act. The
resolutions adopted were not partizan, but
national in their character Wherein, then,
has Col. D. offendedi Simply in that he
addressed loyal and patriotic language to
the people of Wilkes County. That is all.
1t is not true that Col Deweese boasted
in the late Republican Convention of his
Cumming operations in Arkansas" He
spoke of the terror inspired by the troops
he commanded in disloyal town-the same
terror which prevailed here, when General
Sherman's troops arrived two years ago, and
when the Senior of the Sentinel quaked in
his boots, went down upon his knees, beg
ged for mercy, and professed to be one ofthe
humblest loyalists in the whole country
Speaking of bumming," does not the Sen
tinel know that Wheeler's cavalry plundered
Raleigh from sundown to dawn on the night
preceding the arrival of Gen. sherman?-
Certainly they did. They insulted and plum
dered their own people, on the pretext, no
doubt approved by the pious Senior of the
Sentinel, that what they did not steal the
yankees" would. And yet the Sentinel re-
CARDS these outlaws as heroes and saints, and
nearly every yankee" as a !" hummer" oh
hypocrisy !-oh spirit of treason, emanation
of Satan himself!
The Sentinel denies that military interpo-
sition has been employed to protect the per-
secuted Unionists of Wilkes County, and
asserts that Gen. Sickles had sent troops to
that section to "prevent outrages by Red
Strings" There is no truth in these state
ments of the Sentinel Gen. Sickles, not
knowing that Col. Bomford had been spe-
cially appealed to, gave the same orders the
latter issued for the protection of the Union
lists. The Red Strings" were not involved
at all, so far as we have heard
Col. Deweese did his work we'll. He
smashed treason for the time being in Wilkes,
for which both he and Col. Bomford deserve
the thanks of all decent, respectable and
patriotic people.

JEy Dear Sir:I never read the report of my
remarks in the Convention, at Raleigh, on the
27th ult., until after reached home. There is
doubtless an unintentional error in what said
about my sons I am made by the reported
speech to say my SONS enlistedin the Confederate
army to avoid a draft. This isincorrect What
meant to say was my sons enlisted early; many
enlisted to avoid the impending draft, for no one
then thought of importing the French mode, &c.
Please make the correction by giving this note
an insertion in your plper, and requesting pa
pers that copied the remarks to make this inser-
tion also. Very respectfully,
Mr. j. W. HOLDEN.
P. S.-This correction is desired because it is
true, and may be important to my family:
4, four esteemed friend is correct in stating
that the error above alluded to was uninten-
tional on our part. The speech Of Dr. Jor-
dan was much condensed-and like the adj
dresses Of many other distinguished gentle
men, who spoke on the occasion, far from
being fully reported
Other papers that have published the re-
marks of DR.. Jordan, are respectfully re-
quested to publish the above note.

tits significant fact that not one of the

Worth faction, has yet taken ground frankly
'and cheerfully for the Sherman act. On the

The Effect of Rebel Legislation.

A friend who is interested in our State
credit, writes to inquire if the rebel Legisla-
ture of this State had the right to release
Railroad companies from liabilities to the
State under mortgages; and also states that
under the legislation we have had since the
provisional government ceased the old N. G.
bonds have fallen from 64 to As.
Our reply is, that it is apparent that near
ly all the legislation referred to was intend
ed to benefit certain class in our State, at
the expense of the great mass of the people.
The corporations thus favored, with all the
other corporations in the State, are lin the
hands of the ruling rebels. 1t was desirable
to build up and strengthen these corporations
in view of the set purpose of these leaders to
prevent the reconstruction of the State under
the Sherman act. As this set purpose shall
manifest itself more clearly, and when the
conflict for and against reconstruction shall
have fairly commenced, these corporations
(and their name and influence is legion, in
I Guiding the Banks, which have thousands
of the people in debt to them0 will be ex-
pected to wheel into line and do all in their
power to prevent reconstruction, and thus
keep the offices and honors in the hands of
the rebel leaders aforesaid. This will ac-
count to our friend for the favors shown to
certain corporations. And we now say to
our friend, who lives at a distance, and to all
Others, that it is already apparent-we
weigh our words-that it is by no means GER
tain this State will be reconstructed under
the Sherman act. We apprehend the Con-
gress will see that the continuance of the ex-
isting rebel State organizations is great hin
| drance, if not in tue end fatal to the work oi
reconstruction The rebel leaders who con-
troll these organizations, and who WELD
through them great power over the people,
will never voluntarily reconstruct the govern
ment, first, because they hate the Union and
do not wish to return to it, and secondly, be-
cause reconstruction would at once deprive
them of power and consign them to private
life. Congress should meet again an July
It's cork is not get accomplished.
We are not surprised at the effect Of rebe'
misrule in depressing the price of State bonds
To continue these rebels in power is to rem
der it certain that not one dollar of the old
State debt will ever be paid, except as the
rebel debt is paid. They would pay the
rebel debt in full, if they had the power to
do so; and one reason why they are not dis
posed TO do any thing in relation to the ole
debt is that they hope after awhile to be In
a situation to put both debts on the same
footing, scale them, and pay them. The
rebel debt they regard as much more sacred
than the old or loyal debt; and but for the
authority of the general government, whicf
forbids the recognition of the rebel DEBT
they would tax the people one-tenth of thei
entire means every year to pay it.
