Mr.. Stanbery,s Opinion.

We surrender much of our space to-day to
the opinion of the Attorney General on the
reconstruction acts.
The opinion is an able one. and has evil
IDENTIFY been we'll considered We do not
attach much importance to it, however. 1t
depends entirely upon the temper ofthe peo-
pie whether the rebel States will be recon-
strueted under the Sherman act. With the
rebel State organizations in existence and
with so many rebels as voters under the act,
while number Of good Republicans are ex-
cluded from the ballot-box, it is by no means
ensure the return of the States under the act.
But we hope for the best.

registration is completed, they are to super
intend the election and make return of the
votes, list of voters and of the persons elect
ed, to the commanding General It is very
clear, from these provisions, that, in super
intending these elections, the duty of the
board is to receive the votes of the persons
whose names are upon the registration and
to reject all others. There is no provision
anywhere to surcharge, or falsify, or to add
a single name to the registration, or to erase
a single name which appears upon it.

other quarters. There are persons who read

CATAwBA STATION, N. c., May Goth

EDITORS STANDARD How would your
readers like to have an occasional contribu-
tor to the .Sta,1Clard from Western Carolina,
the very appropriately termed Switzerland
of America ? If they desire it, We humbly
tip our cap, and beg to introduce ourselves
to their good feelings, under the nom de
plume of Sc G. Nc"
In our preliminary, we will state, if the
matter which we write will only be as pure
as the air we breathe, there will be no danger
of it producing any communicating effect on
the morals of any of your numerous readers.
Catawba County has long been noted for
the industry, perseverance and indomitable
energy of her hospitable citizens. Her rev.
dictionary history, IS connected with that OF
Lincoln County, from which she was divided
some eighteen years ago by the indetatlga-
| BILE exertions OF her, then Uincoln) member
to the Legislature, Mr.. Wilson. Her capital
is Newton called IL honor of the Immortal
philosopher, Isaac Newton, as We suppose,
| and whose picturesque scenery IS surpassed
! by only few towns IN North Carolina. A
branch of the w. N. G. r. r., about two
miles long runs to the town. In the survey
of the road, we think this could easily have
| been avoided with less money than to BALD
the branch. Newton is in a prosperous con-
dition. if we judge by her appearance. Sew
eral new buildings have been erected since
the war, and all her stores are full. The
merchants have had good time, as there
was great deal of corn to sell in this Coun-
ty. It sells now at 81 to l 10. There is q
very good school under the supervision OF
Messrs. Clapp 6 Finger, gentlemen in every
respect qualified to fill the position Whlch
they occupy. -,
Shall we not say something concerning the
place from which we hail, Catawba Station
1t is not yet town, and neither was New OK
not many hundred years ago. It is pleas
ant place ON the w. N. c. r. r. and near the
banks of the Catawba river The Shutora
Gold Mines, owned by Northern tirm-
Powell, Conner g. Wilson's Lime WORKS,
Granite Shoals Cotton Factory, are all near
this place.
In future communication we expect
give you more extended article concernns
this section of the State, hoping II MAY
prove interesting to your readers. :,
