Truth, Crushed, will Rise.

The New York Tribune and Washington
Chronicle, together with other influential
journals, are advocating the re-assembling
of Congress.
We call attention to one fact. The issue
is between the Military Commanders of the
Districts, and the rebel Provisional State
governments, the former being backed by
Congress and the Republican party, the
latter by the President and his faction Had
Congress wiped out these organizations,
when the Southern Unionists appealed to
them to do so last winter, which appeal is
still continued, there would have been no
trouble now in Louisiana or elsewhere. We
trust that the error may be corrected in July
next. Republican reconstruction is scarcely
possible when rebel State organizations are
tolerated by Congress itself, and premium
thus offered to disloyality. Will Congress still
persist in handling treason with kid gloves
and sprinkling it with otto of roses when it
assemblies in July2

The Surratt Trial.

WASHINGTON, June II.
In opening for the prosecution, after de-
scribing the assassination the District AttOr-
ney said that the prosecution would show to
the entire satisfaction of the jury, by COM
petent and credible witnesses, that the pris-
oner at the bar, Jno. H. Surratt, was then
and there present aiding and abetting in
that murder. He would show that at the
time of the murder he was in front of Ford's
Theatre, cooperating with Booth, they would
hear what the prisoner said there; they
would know him as the partner of Booth,
they would know him as director of the
bullet that pierced the Presidents head, and
director of the knife that fell upon the
throat of the Secretary of State; they would
know that the companionship then and
there between the prisoner and Booth was
not accidental but was the result of hong and
premeditated plan and association.
The examination of witnesses was then
commenced.

Gen. Griffin and Gen. Reynolds of Texas
report to Gen. Sheridan that Judge Reeves
OF the Ninth Judicial District of that State,
in a charge to the Grand Jury of his Court,
stated he should not receive the testimony
of negroes, as the laws of Congress on the
subject was unconstitutional, and he there
fore deied them. They also report the
same facts against Judge Dougherty, who
stated, in the headquarters of Gen. Reynolds,
that, as regards the testimony of negroes, he
would not recognize the law or authority of
Congress, and will be bound only to the
sovereign State of Texas. Reports of a like
character are coming in almost daily from
the different parishes of this State

which hadcolonial connexion with Great
severtit. and sactioned acts which depended
f86r their validity wholly upon that success
and can have no application to acts OF
rebel self STYLED government, seeking the
severance of constitutional relations OF States
to the Union, but defeated in the attempt,
and, itself, broken up and destroyed.
Those who engage in rebellion must con-
slider the consequences If they succeed, re-
bellion becomes revolution: and the new
governmentment will justify its founders. Ii
they fail, all their acts hostile to the rlghtiul
government, are violations of law, and org
mate no rights which can be recognized by
the Courts of the Nation whose authority and
existence have been alike assalled.
We hold, therefore, that compulsory pay
ment, under the .Sequestration acts, to the
rebel receiver, of the debt due to the PLAIN
tiffs from the defendant, was no discharge.
1t is claimed, however, that whatever may
be the right of the plaintiffs to recover the
principal debt from the defendant, they can
not recover interest Tor the time during
which war prevented all communication be-
tween the States in which they respectively
resided.
We cannot think so. Interest is the law
full fruit of principal. There are, indeed,
some authorities to the point that interest
which has accrued during war between in
dependent nations, cannot be afterwards re-
covered; though the debt, with other inter
est, may be. But that rule, in our judgment,
is applicable only to such wars. We per-
ceive nothing in the act of: the 18th July,
1861, which suspended for time all pacific
intercourse between the legal and insurrgent
portion of the country, that requires or justi-
fies the APPLICATION of that rule tc the case
before us. Legal rights could neither be
originated nor defeated by the action of the
central authorities of the late rebellion.
The plaintiff must have judgment for the
principal and interest of his debt, without
deduction.

PUBLIC MEETING AT CARTHAGE. MOORE IN


Pursuant to previous notice, meeting ot
the Enthusiastically Union men OF Moore
County. was held at CARNAGE on the 18Th of
June, 1867. =
Inc meeting was organized by calling
Col. VIM: r. Richardson to the Chair, who
explained the object of the meeting in few
appropriate remarks, and then introduced tn
the listening audience Dr. Alfred w. Thomas
wh" mad been authorized by the Congress-
lonal Executive Committee, to visit the
south and explain to the people the plan of
reconstruction proposed by the Congress of
the United States. And we'll did the Doc
Tor perform the work assigned him. For
three hours he held the entire audience SPELL
bound. He showed from the past history
OF the country, that the Republican party
dld not break up the government, nor were
they responsible in any way for that sad
catastrophe. That John c. Calhoun sowed |
the seeds of disunion in 1882, in the Con-
gress of the United States, and his Demo
cratic friends produced the Legitimate fruits
of his heretical doctrines in the disruption
of the Democratic Convention at Charles
ton. This once great and powerful party,
which at one time controlled the destinies
of this nation, by falling out among them
selves, I" sowed to the wind and reaped the
whirlwind" But he did not charge this
upon the good old jackson and Douglas
wing of the Democratic party, for these men
stood true to the Union, and are to-day side
by side laboring to restore the rebel States
back to their proper position in the govern
ment.
The great work which the Republican par
ty had to perform, was to endeavor to build
up that government, which others had tried
to destroy, and to hand it down to posterity
in its pristine glory that this might in truth
become the land of the brave and the
home of the free" The Doctor devoted
about one hour, in the conclusion of his
talk to the colored people, to whom he gave
much wholesome advice, and endeavored to
correct some false notions entertained by
them. I

of people in the State suffering for bread and
the common necessaries of life. and although
many have little property in the way of

ton Is it RIGHT to use the money which
has been or may be paid into the public
treasury to defray the expense of an extra
session of the Legislature and then force the
people to pay more taxes to make up def
ciences? Is it right or honorable for the
State Legislature to voluntarily assemble
when it is we'll known that the members will
not be permitted TO act as free American cit
liens, and that they will be subject to militia

is no necessity for re-assembling the Legisla-

State laws to the new condition of things af-
| ter new Constitution is framed and adopt

We think something can and will be done
to prevent the re-assembling of the Legisla-
| ture. 1t is now more than probable that
Congress will meet again in July. That

ernments which Mr.. Stanbery declares exists
in the Southern States, and we can not

Congress should re-assembIe in July the Lee
