Another Order by Gen. Sickles.

mug
Gen. Sickles has issued an order in rela-
ton to certain monies advanced by South
Carolina Banks during the war for the pur-
chase of horses for the Confederate service,
but which, not being expended, had been
distributed since the war under Chancery
decree among the Banks and other claim
ants.
The order annuls the decree as a fraud
against the United States, and appoints a
Receiver on the part of the Government, to
whom the funds distributed, including the
costs and fees, are to be paid.
The Receivers are directed to report
promptly any delinquency or obstruction on
the part of individuals or Corporations in
the way of the execution of the order.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YoRK.-From
catalogue of this medical institution Just
received, we learn that it's next session will
open on October 18th. 1867. The lectures
will be given in the building adjoining the
New York hospital, as they were last year.
The graduates of the University will perceive
at once the important advantages arising
from connection with this, the largest sur
gical hospital in America. There were trea-
ted in it last year nearly 5000 cases, more
than half of which were surgical Owing to
being located in the midst of dense popu-
lation, the college clinics are perhaps carried
forward on a scale elsewhere unattained.-
The hospital is open to students every day
throughout the year. They will attend the
clinical instruction of the physicians and
surgeons, and witness the surgical operations
which are almost of daily occurrence. 1t
has a large library and anatomical and sur
gical museum accessible to students, as are
likewise the post norton examinations in the
dead-house. Professor Post is one of the
consulting surgeons. All who desire to at
tain proficiency in medical science, will find
this institution one of the best in the coun-

Republican State Convention.

Let the Republicans of the State
bear in mind that State Convention
will be held in Raleigh, on Wednes-
day, September 18th.
We trust meetings will be held in
every County, and every neighbour
hood in the State represented. Let
us give such an impetus to the work
of reconstruction as to render the re-
turn of the State to the Union certain
under the present acts of Congress.

Paw of Clergymen.

The worst paid men in the community,
considering the amount of labor, brains, and
self denial exacted of them, are our clergy
men. 1t is quoted as wonder all over the
country when a Beecher or Hawks gets
| $40 1000 per annum, when there are thousands
of merchants, manufacturers, and even farm
ers whose income is counted by the thou
sand. But the great bulk of our clergymen
do not get one thousand dollars per annum.
| Thousands of theru will not average five
hundred dollars year, though the same
ability, education, and labor expended in
some other calling would secure them
handsome income. On this subject the
Springfield Republican, speaking of letter
of the Hon. Amasa Walker says that he has
received, in answer to inquiries made at the
request of that journal, information from
one thousand ministers of eight denomina-
tons, in regard to the advance made in their
salaries since the depreciation of the curren-
cy. These one thousand ministers live in
eighteen different States, and the salaries
range from three hundred to five thousand
dollars per annum. The following is a table
of the general average:
Average salaries in 1860, $772 39
Average salaries in 1865, 907 20
Average gratuities per year. 80 II
Average advance in salaries from 1860
to 1866, II
per cent.
Average advance in salaries and gratu-
tiles, 81
per cent.
This is, of course, much below the advance
in the expenses of living. Washington City
Erpress
1t is deplorable fact that Ministers of the
Gospel and Schoolmasters receive less COM
pensation for theirservices than those of any
other calling. This proves two things; first,
the vanity, folly, pride and selfshness of this
world; secondly, that we have not attained
high state of civilization. If thoughtful,
honest traveller, in quest of home, should
find in any neighborhood the Church well
filled on the Sabbath with neatly dressed
and attentive hearers, the Minister we'll paid
for his services, and the Schoolmaster also
well compensated, and esteemed and respec-
ted with the Minister as the leading man of
the neighborhood, he would justly conclude
that this would be good place for him to
settle; and the high character of such a
neighborhood, if its climate and soil should
be inviting, would speedily draw to it intel
ligence, capital, enterprise and wealth. 1t
is vain for any people to assume that they
are enlightened, or imbued with the princi-
Piles of Christianity, if they slight or neg
lect the Minister and Schoolmaster.

their strength for future emergencies; and
we learn that many of our white fellow-citi-
zens are also joining Some of the old ef-

and speeches have only tended to excite and

Kentucky neutrality during the war, which
was the neutrality of Lord John Russell,
saved her from the penalty of Abraham
Llncoln's Emancipation proclamation until
the ratification of the constitutional amend
ment abolishing slavery. Kentucky loyalty,
such as it was, saved her from the pains and
penalties Of the reconstruction bills of Con-
gress. Thus her State administration. as a
loyal member of the Union, has remained
untouched by the general government and
thus, though somewhat ishy during the war,
Kentucky, with the return of her-say fifty
thousand-unreconstruc rebel soldiers
from the disbanded armies of Jeff Davis. is,
as far as she can be in her State government
to-day, what South Carolina was in 1860.
Her returned rebel soldiers, fusing with their
sympathizing staying at-home democracy,
have given color and character to the Legis-
lature and the laws of the State and the
principles OF her dominant party. Thus,
holding as far as they can to the old bred
Scott decision that the negro has no rights
which white man is bound to respect" he
remains DISTINGUISHED in Kentucky and sub
ject to the black code of the the old regime
OF negro slavery. So it is. that with forty
thousand negro men cut off from the ballot
poA, anu nlCy thousand, more or less, return
ed white rebel soldiers re-admitted at once
to the polls, we have this rousing Kentucky
pro-rebel democratic majority of forty, fifty
or sixty thousand for Governor.
The result in Tennessee settles the question
of the drift of the negro vote in all the un-
reconstructed rebel States, and turns them
over into the hands of the republican party
under the reconstruction bills of Congress.
The result in Kentucky gives US pretty
clear idea ofwhat would now be the politi-
cal condition of all the other Southern States
had President Johnson's general policy of
reconstruction been accepted by Congress-

The Campaign In Granville.

| We learn from various sources, that the
speech of Mr.. James II. Harris, at Oxford,
on Tuesday last, was one of great ability,
and produced fine impression on the au-
dience. More than two thousand persons
were present. Mr.. Harris spoke for two
hours and a half, enchanting during the
whole time the attention of his hearers, and
eliciting the most enthusiastic applause. A
large majority of the whites present were
much pleased with his speech.
Mr.. Harris was introduced to the people
by R. W. Lassiter, Esq, leading member of
vile County.
We learn that the Rev. Mr.. Lansdell, for
merly of this City, attempted to reply to
Mr.. Harris. This gentleman is trying to pass
himself off in Granville as Union man.
No one trusts him, however, with the excep-
ton of little squad of traitors headed by
Mr. Tom Lyon, of Tar river.
Mr. James H-Jones and Mr.. ]. B. Hutch
ings, colored, have also been recently can
vassing Granville and Orange with the best
results for the Republican cause. We learn
that Mr.. Tom Lyon and the reverend gentle
man above named, having attempted to re,
ply to Mr.. Jones, were exposed by him to
the people in their true colors. Messrs.
Jones and Hutchings are doing good service.
They will continue the campaign in Orange,
Chatham, Person, and Caswell, and after
wards 60 to Nash and other Counties east of
Raleigh.
The greatest zeal and harmony exist in the
Republican ranks in Granville. Union
Leagues are being organized in nearly every
neighborhood. Granville will send three Re-
publican delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention by at least one thousad majority.

fuckers HALL-THE SCENERY.-A con-
siderable crowd assembled in this elegant
hall last night, in spite of the fact that it was
thrown open, lighted up and the scenery eX-
hibited exclusively for the benefit of the
Messrs. Tucker and members of the city
press. If any thing, however, could justify
the presence of unbidden persons, it would
be the fact that q great majority of the ga
Zers had never before beheld such a grand
exhibition with such perfect appointments.
A description of the capacious exhibition
room, with its well arranged galleries, tiers
of inviting private boxes, stage furniture,
ETC., would be impossible with the data we
have in our possession. An acquain lance
with the interior construction arrangement,
finish and equipment Of the favorite theatres
and concert rooms of Richmond, Baltimore,
Washington and other cities, permits us to
testify that this enterprise of the Messrs.
Tu 2ker equals the best and excels most of
them in all particulars.
Trucker HALF is superb creation. The
stock scenery has been gotten up, like all
else about the establishment, in the best
style art, and much Of it would make very
presentable pieces in panoramic views.
They typitied landscapes, woods, prisons,
gardens. the horizon, lakes, cottages, streets,
rocky Businesses, chambers, palaces, sc. The
lake scene, with boats moving on the sur
face, with all the concomitants of thunder,
lightning, rain, &c, approached the sublime.
Eyes not unused to scanning mastery exc
cutions in this department of painting were
there and their owners were rather astounded
at the magnificence they looked on. 1t is
not to be denied that Raleigh will have as
elegant theatre as any city in this country,
south of New York, when this structure is
completed, which it will be within short
time. We presume the seats will be placed
in the building and all other work done be-
fore the first fall month.
We cannot commend too strongly the I'M
stinted expenditures and untiring determin-
alton Of lIessrs. r. S. & W. II. Tucker from
the beginning of the undertaking to the
present moment. In the erection of such
temple for the legitimate drama, with pa
lacial store on the street floor, they have
reared the grandest pile within the limits of
their native city.
Mr.. Coates the contractor, and Mr. G. A.
Brown, stage builder, have given incontesta-
bic proof of being masters in their respective
fields of labor. Superior workmen and di-
rectors can hardly be found in the North or
South.
We trust this example may not be lost on
other wealthy citizens. They can proftably
to themselves, contribute largely to the beau
ty and prosperity of the city, and we beg
them to enter at once heartily on the noble
Work.-Pr0gTess
