RALEIGH, N. c., WEDNESDAY,,
An erroneous Impression Corrected. )

There is no foundation for the impression
that Congress is about to territorialiss the
Southern States. The proposition in Mr..
Stevens bill, and indeed in all the bills on
the subject, is simply to re-organise them.
at the close of the rebellion the President
found the insurgent States without govern
ments. By virtue of his power as comman-
der-in-chief, he proceeded to re-organize these
States. He permitted the people to form
new governments, and new governments were
thus set up under martial law" Butitwas
for Congress to decide whether these govern
ments should continue. The President un-
questionably so held at the time, and his
Provisional Governors were SO instructed. 1t
was for the law-making power of the country
to say whether the work was such as should
be received. That power has decided that
the States were not properly recognized,
and that it must now be done in accordance
with such rules as it may prescribe. When
thus done, and not before, the Southern
States will be restored" !" to use the language
of the President "to their constitutional re-
lations to the federal government
No one has proposed to reduce the South
ern States to the condition of Territories.
The purpose simply is to re-organize them.
Ifthe President, who can make no law, had
the power to re-organize them, surely the
Congress, the law-making power, has the
right to do so. These States had lost, by
rebellion, their " constitutional relations to
the federal government" 1t is monstrous
assumption that the President has the sole
right to restore State to these relations.
he can no more do this than he can prepare
a Territory for admission, and when thus
prepared, urge its admission into the Union
as State.
Indeed, Mr.. Stevens bill, and all the bills
we have seen provide for continuing the pre-.
sent de tacto governments until the new gov
ernments shall have been put in operation.
Does this look as if the purpose was to ter
ritorialise the States?
We go further and state, that those North
Carolinians who are soroundly abused forhav-
ing advised the introduction of Mr.. Stevens
bill, have thus far prevented the displacement
of the present State governments and the es-
tablishmcnt of military governments. The
bill itself will show this, as it proposes to
continue the present governments until re-
organization shall have been effected, thus
excluding purely military rule. We make
this statement with no expectation of recei-
wing any thanks from those officials who
have thus been favored, but simply to aid in
removing the unfounded impression that the
friends of Mr. Stevens bill are the advocates
of territorial or military governments. II
martial law should be declared by Congress
and put in full operation in the Southern
States, those who have had control in these
States since the provisional governments
ceased, may blame themselves for it.

Gov. Morton's message was delivered to
the Legislature of Indiana on the 18th. We
copy the following summary of the message.
He is opposed to the sudden payment Of
the national debt He says it was contrac-
ted through the misconduct of the South,
and they and their children should bear
their just proportion, which they cannot do
in their present impoverished condition,
therefore taxation should be reduced to the
amount necessary to pay interest and the or
dinary expenses Of the government, and the
payment of the principal postponed to times
OF more general prosperity. He considersa .
return to specie payments not result SO i'm
portant that we should hazard general dis
order and bankruptcy to attain, and further
reduction of currency at this time unsafe.
The North, he says, has not been animated
by spirit of revenge in dealing with the
South since The conclusion of the rebellion,
but the course of the South has had its nat
ural and inevitable effect upon the public
mind of the North, which is rapidly passing
from mercy and forgiveness to stern demands
for justice and the exnction Of the penalties
for treason. - ss.itt - * g ~
The Governor adds: The right unques.
tionably exists, and if in its exercise Con.
gress confers suffrage upon negroes and over
turns their State governments, the South
will have the consolation of knowing that it
is their own act and deed. Let them take
warning, and speedily reform>their ways, be-
fore they have driven the nation to point
where passion and prejudice must both give
way to the stern necessity of establishing
new governments that will protect oil men
in the exercise and equal enjoyment of life,
liberty and property. But, come what will
come, the nation will live, and its unity and
power be established"
Gov. Morton has been unanimously nomi-
mated for the U. s. Senate by the Republi-
cans Of the Legislature, and has no doubt
been elected Gov. NJ distinguished him.
self as the friend of the soldier during the
war, and by the zeal with which he pressed
the war for the suppression of the rebellion.
He is deservedly one of the most popular Of
all the public men of the Northwest He
has no doubt uttered in his message the SEN
timents of a vast majority of the people Of
that region of country.

The Necessity for Loyal, Stable Gov.


ernment.
In many portions of this State the people
are a law unto themselves" Violations of
the law, and outrages of all kinds are Of
daily occurrence. Not half the crime was
committed half the outrages occurred
under the provisional government that are
occurring now, though that government was
for months without judicial tribunals, and
was established just at the close of the war,
before the bad passions of men could have
time to cool. In a word, we had less crime
and better ORDER under the provisional gov
ernment than we have now.
This condition of things, we apprehend,
will grow worse unless some remedy shall be
applied. Life and property are already in
constant peril in many localities, and unless
something is done to repress crime there are
portions of the State in which law-abiding,
honest people will find it impossible to live.
The present civil government of this State,
"set up under martial law" is a failure, not
only in respect of loyalty, but it is unable to
protect the lives and property of the people.
This, of ITSELF is the strongest argument that
could be addressed to tue Congress in favor
of reorganization That body is bound, by
themost solemn obligations, to guarantee to
every State republican form of govern
ment, and to protect the people of every
State against lawlessness and violence. The
government of this State, which exists at the
pleasure of Congress, having failed in this
most vital respect, it is the duty of that
body to interpose at once and authorize the
formation of government which will pro-
tect life, liberty, and property.

The Charlotte Democrat thinks there was
no lawful authority for appointing Commits
sioners to Washington, as nothing of the sort
is to be found in the captions of the acts and
resolutions. 1t presumes that when the Leg
islature re-assembles an appropriation will be
asked for to pay their expenses.

ought to "stay in the State and attend to his
duties as law officer" 1t is pleased with
the appointment Of Messrs. Brown and Gil

ave respectfully submit that such old po-

James M. Leach are not the sort of men t.

In the Senate, on the 18th, Mr.. Summer
presented eleven petitions from the coIored
people Of Nortll-C Caroline, praying for an
organization of the government Of that Ststs.
The bill for the admission of Nebraska and
Colorado, with the House amendment pro-
yiding that there shall be no civil or poIiH-
cal distinction on account of color in thoss
new States, passed the Senate BY . vots Of
90 to IA, and now goes to the President. u
is believed he will veto the bill.

House on the 18th, and was discussed. MI.
Bingham, of Ohio, spoke In opposition te Il.

President Swain asks, in his Third Let
ter to Gov. Perry on Political Subjects" /" how
the Congress is to ascertain the true charic-
ter of the 100000 voters in this State9 The
answer is easy 1t can be done by the test
oath in Mr.. Stevens bill, or by some other
test-oath. The instigators ana leaders of the
rebellion, and such latter-day war saints as
Governors Swain and Graham, would not
think for one moment of degrading" them
selves by taking this test-oath. As matter
of course, the provisions of any act to re or
ganize the States would be most rigidly en-
forced; and if any of the "small fry that
follow those gentlemen should break through
the trap and take the oath falsely, they
would be punished severely for the crime Of
perjury. The idea of the old colored man
would be realized in their case When asked
by the Court if he knew what would be the
consequence of swearing falsely as witness,
he answered promptly, Yes, sir, ears off and
no part in the kingdom
There will be no difficulty in sitting the
chaff from the wheat. Let Congress pass the
bill properly guarded, and the loyal people
will soon ascertain the true character of our
voters. The political character of every vo-
ter in the State is known 10 his neighbors.
The loyal will be put on the books, and the
disloyal will be kept off the books; and no
one will be allowed to vote or hold office
whase name is not recorded in the book. ss
We trust our friend, the President of our
State University, who has written his sThird
Letter to Gov. Perry ON Political Subjects"
can now perceive that it is possible for Con-
gress to ascertain the true character of the
100000 voters in this State" s
The Sentinel is much distressed at the fact
that Mr.. Summer has presented at one time
eleven petitions from coIored people of this
State, praying Congress to authorize loyal
civil government in this State. We have the
pleasure of informing that paper that petit
tions praying Congress to do the same thing,
have been forwarded to Congress from thou
sands of loyal whits voters. We forwarded
yesterday to Mr.. Stevens ten petitions from
white voters well filled, from the Counties Of
Cleveland, Wake, johnson, Randolph, Meek
lenburg, Castor and Union.

indictments by the Grand Jnries. Ifthe peo-
