New Borne Politics,

The New Berne correspondent of the
Raleigh Sentinel says in regard to political
squabbles and aspirants
"It is well understood here that Col. David
Heston sil be put forward, at the proper time, az
Republican candidate for Congress-. Recently,
however, new aspirant for Radical honors has
appeared in the person Of one Ellsworth a native
OF Maine, called by courtesy -" Reverend" and at
present officiating in the pulpit OF the Congrega-
tional chanel in this place. Ellsworth has been
haranguing the blacks about " their nights,
equality and such slang, and succeeded IN
building up radical wing to the Radical party ;
whereupon his claims give great uneaslness to the
Conservative or Meninger wing, who so for hea-
ton In Eiisworth's train comes Lawyer Carpen-
ter, who enyieth George Nason's berth In the

safhese little differences threaten to cause split
in the party, and we shall watch the progress; OF
the matter with interest, taking some consolation
from the old adage that when thieves fall out,
honest men obtain their own"
Now, this may be all very we'll for the
claims of our little neighbor, but it must

unless the Convention fixes the congress

disabilities of Governor HOLDEN as does
the latter gentleman, butwe have the equal
of either in qualifications, mental and 10y
oil, and we cannot tell why the little junta
of New Berne should get into muss be-
fore it is ascertained that the selection lies
within their organization. To be sure the
last Congressman, Hon. c. @. CLARK, elect
ed from this district, is resident of thai
city, but it does not follow that his sue
cessor must also reside there. In fact, that
having been an Illegal election, conducted
by rebels, any example then set is possibly
"more honored in the breach than the OBJ
servance." Anyhow, let our New Bern'
friends wait awhile, and the delay ma,

til the next term.
And here the matter rests at present.
Atthe October term of the Court, we sup
pose, the jury lists will have been revised
and the names of all taxpayers, without
regard to color or property qualification
will have been placed upon them, and thu
dangerous and radical change Of qualltica-
ton of jurors, co-existent with the
Common Law, will BE made without pro-
ducing a ripple upon the surface of the
great revolution through which we are
passing. In the future the events OF to-
day, which hardly claim passing notice,
NAV form the fruitful subjec! for the study
of statesmen and potent warning for the
consideration Of Governments. r ledge
ling at the bar in the Republic OF the
United States, defeated before jury OF h1'
countrymen, and appealing from the decl
sion of a Judge to the bayonets of Gen
eral. may excite merriment to-day, but
will constitute lesson for the future which
NAV benefit millions yet unborn.

General S1CKLEsf order was promulgated
on the 3Oth of May, and publlshed mere
on the 4th of June, following. The County
Court began it's session Oh Monday. 10Th
of June. The Clerk of the County Court
did not hand to the Sheriff the tax lists un-
til the 1st of July, which was according 10
law The Court could not, therefore, on
the 10th of June, have conformed to the
order, for it was impossible for it to know
what citizens were d" assessed Tor taxes.
The lists not being complete, many names
would have been omitted, which would
have rendered an over-Zealous desire 70
conform to the order a palpabie violation
thereof.
The order, in pointing out persons quail
fed as jurors, does not say that they must
merely have been assessed for taxes
but adds, g and who shall have paid taxes

been paid for the current year, we cannot tell
how the proper civil officers could eve-
now comply with it. The order clearly EN-
braces only such as have actually paid thell
taxes for General SICKLEs knew full vel
that many who were assessed never actual
~ paid, and was particular to embrace only
those who had. Arrearages of taxes has
been the rock upon which many Sheriff.
have been wrecked, and we do not believe
that the privilege Of sitting on juries viii
possess sufficient charms to cause all to set
tie promptly.
It will be thus seen that no officers ar
to blame in this matter, and any attempt tx
oast reflection upon them or create unne
cessary excitement about the matter, cal
only have its origin in ine1cusabl
ignorance, desire to malign an'
misrepresent our officials and people, Q
in selfish ambition to fill the vacancle
the removal of civil officers would create.

The Jury Lists,

There seems to be unnecessary rumors OF
the removal of certain officials growing out
of the non conformity of the jury lists of
this county with the terms of General SICK
LES order That the wish is often father
to the thought is the only solution of the
opinion that certain county officials have
rendered themselves liable to removal by
the military authority. If it is desired to
create vacancies for the purpose of filing
them with individuals more acceptable,
this can be done without these officials in
curing any liability. But we have military
officers who will not lend themselves to such
proceedings, and we look for no removals
here unless civil officials are forced, by a
high sense of duty and responsibility, not
to comply with the orders Of Gen. SICKLEs
In this case, when their civil obligations
interfere with their obedience to the mill
tary orders, a resignation, we are confident
will prevent the necessity of resort te
harsher measures. Our people will be
found to be law-abiding, and no resort te
force will be necessary to compel thei
compliance with the law of the land
In the case under consideration, no blame
can possibly be attached to any one TO
neglect to revise the jury lists in TIM
for the present term of the Crimina
Court. General SICKLEs' order says:
| "Al citizens assessed for taxes and who sha
have paid taxes for the current year are qualife
| to serve as jurors. 1t shall be the duty of tn

After the reception of this communication his
Honor announced that, although his oath did not
enjoin upon him to recognize any order emanating
from military authority, still. in view of the fact
indicated by the communication of the Post Com
mandant, that all verdicts rendered by juries at
the present term would be set aside, the Court
considered it advisable, in order to the coun-
ty and individuals interested unnecessary expense,
to continue all cases requiring trial by jury until
the next term of this Court. The jury was accord
ingly declared discharged. The Court would,
however, continue it's session to hear submissions,
and that the recognizances of defendants and wit,
nesses may be taken.
