Meeting at Holly Springs.

On Saturday last Republican meeting
was held at Holly Springs, Wake County,
which was organized by calling Quentin Ut
ley, Esq, to the Chair, and appointing
Booker Hutchings Secretary. Mr.. Utley ex-
planned the object of the meeting in an APP
propriate manner, after which speeches were
made by James Fl. Harris, W. W. Holden.
Jas. Font Taylor, G. L. Harris, w. R. Rich
ardson, and James Jones.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Richard
son called for showing of hands, when all
the hands of the colored people present went
up for the Republican cause.
There were some forty or fifty white per-
sons present, majority of whom were rebels
or copperheads. They did not seem to rel
ish the speeches, but the few white Republi
cans present listened with interest, and avow-
ed their determination to labor cheerfully
and hopefully to restore the Union under the
Sherman act. The two hundred colored
people in attendance were enthusiastically
with the Republican party. After the speak
ing was over they formed line on each side
of the road. and as the speakers started
home, walking between the lines, they were
cheered.
An excellent barbecue was served up on
the occasion by Mr. J. Norris.

, useful and law-abiding citizens. North Car
olinians are famed for obedience to law
Obedience to law is the glory and strength
of free people. Our race will be apt to
think itself superior to yours in natural en-
dowments. You will naturally think we are
mistaken. We have greatly the start OF you:
Time alone can solve the question. We Will
never quarrel about it; but leave it to be
decided by that sure and incorruptible judge
called, Time
Our people will soon learn that they nave
nothing to fear from you, even II you were
disposed to do them harm, which you are
not. In the United States you are 900 ,Ooo
and the whites are 30,000,0OO. In North
Carolina you are 100000 in number and we
are 100000. In Johnston County you are
| 5. 600 and we are 10000 in number. True
some of as are disfranchised, but not enough
to seriously affect the white vote-and you,
nv colored friends, know would be glad
to see that disfranchisement removed as
soon as is consistent with safety The
growth of true Republican sentiment will en-
sure its removal sooner than any other
cause-for 1t is a Republican idea that
governmental free governments never
safe, while large class of its people are
denied any rights that are enjoyed by any
other class.
Fellow citizens, what jubilee it will be
when the time comes that there is no dis

when the genius of free America will offer

compatible with freedom, an Indian or an
African sun may have burned upon him; no
matter in what disastrous battle the helm of
his liberty may have been cloven down; no
matter with what solemnities he may have
been devoted upon the altar of slavery,
the moment he touches the sacred soil of
America, the altar and the god sink togeth-

RALEIGH. N. G.
: u ESDAY, APRIL 3Oth, 1S6,
Registers of Voters.

Gen. Miles has issued Circular Letter to
the officers and agents of the Freedman's
Bureau in this State, from which we make
the following extracts:
THE various officers and agents of this
Bureau will, without delay, procure and for
ward to these Headquarters, the names of
three persons IN each election district other
respective sub districts to act as Registers
and Inspectors of Elections. Of these, two
will be white men and one colored man.
1t is desirable that one of the white men
should be resident of the district, possessing
necessary qualifications and can take the re-
quired oath; the other can be selected from
among officers or agents of the Bureau, ex-
officers of the United States Army or Navy.
In the selection of the colored men, care
will be taken to procure as far as possible,
those of Intelligence and sufficient education.
In case there cannot be found a sufficient
number of men, with necessary qualifications,
for each precinct the number can be reduced,
so as not to be less than two white men and
one colored man for each county.
All officers and Agents will give their
personal attention to this matter Their re-
ports will be in tabular form, giving age,
occupation, where born, length of residence
in their respective election districts, whether
they have been in the military service of the
United States if so in what capacity, and
under head of remarks, any other information
that may be of interest and service"
This is good movement. The officers
and agents of the Bureau have excellent OPP
portunities to obtain the required informa-
ton, and we are satisfied they will report
the names of none who are not loyal and
trustworthy.
1t will be seen that there are to be two
white Registers and one cC.ored Register to
each County. This is as it should be. The
colored people were entitled to at least this
much power in the work of enrolling. 1t
will be difficult in some localities to get inspec-
tors of elections at the precincts, who can
take the required oath, without taking col
ored men. 1t so happens that where there
are most rebels there are most colored peo-
pile, and in the localities referred to it will be
a good thing to have colored inspectors mix
ed with white ones, so as to ensure justice to
the colored voters.

MEssRs. EDITORS The readers of YOUR
much valued paper, will 1 have no doubt :,
feel somewhat surprised to hear from us at
Goldsdoro'. Fortune smiled upon us yes
terday, and We had the pleasure of hearinga
thorough Republican speech from the Hon.
Henry Wilson, U. S. Senator. The hour of
2 o'clock, P. NJ, having arrived, the bell
from the Courthouse summoned the people
to the above mentioned place, and about a
quarter past two the honorable gentleman
was introduced to large audience of both
races by Mr.. j. e. O'Hara. We regret that
bis time was very limited, (having only for
ty-five minutes) being obliged to leave at
half past three for Newborn The majority
of his audience was whites, and l am pleas
ed to write, that they were earnest listeners,
and that perfect spirit of peace and har-
mony prevailed. His advice to his white
hearers was that they must acknowledge the
manhood of the colored man, to con-
form in good faith to the Constitution
of the United States, and faithfully adhere
to the laws OF the general government and
to mourn no longer over "a lost causen-
His advice to his colored hearers was that
as they are now freemen, to hold their heads
triumphantly to the skies and as freemen
faithfully discharge their duty to God, their
country and their neighbors. Again has the
American eagle began to stretch his pinions
over the sunny South, from which they have
so long been withdrawn, and the day is
not far distant when the Republican ban
ner will be hailed as the sign by which
men shall conquer from the st. Lawrence
to the Rio Grande, from the Atlantics
stormy main to the Pacifc's rock bound coast.
Let every friend of Justice, Truth and
Liberty, and all those who wish to see the
Old North State again happy and prosper
Gus, but clothed anew with liberty for all,
shine in majesty, splendor and glory, proud
ly take her former position in our fathers
house at Washington. l say to such men,
buckle on the armor of faith and enlist I'm
der the Republican banner, that has been
thrown to the breeze, having on it inscribed
in letters that shall never fade, Union, Lib
erty and Political Equality. To those who
doubt the negro, let me assure them, that
they will use the ballot, for the same good
purpose, and as sensbly as they did the
bullet, and with this new weapon they will
achieve all that is necessary; how we'll they
use the bullet, will leave that for our friends
of the opposition to answer. In conclusion,
allow me to express my feelings in the Ian
guage of the poet:
IT'S vain, my tongue cannot impart,
NV utmost drunkenness ofheart
When first this liberated eye
Surveyed earth, ocean, sun and sky,
AS if my spirit pierced them through,
And all their inmost wonders knew;
One word alone can paint to thee
That more than feeling-I WAS FREE,
Fen for thy presence ceased to pine,
The world, nay, Heaven itself was mine
BUENA ESPERANZA.

An Old Lady Murdered in PhiIadeIphi

An Old Lady Murdered in Philadelphia.
PuILA DELPH1A, April a5.-About two
o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Magilton, aged
about six ty-two years, was found murdered
at her re. sidence, in Shipper street, above
Thirteenth Her throat was cut with a razor,
and seven confused wounds appeared on the
head, inflic: ted with hammer which had
been left b eside her The information of
the murder was first given to the husband
of the dece; ,sed by Geo. Winnemore, who
was taken custody on suspicion, and COM
mitted to a, Wait the coroner's investigation.
Winnemore is friend of the family and had
taken tea it'll the old couple, who lived
alone, on the previous evening. Nothing
was missing from the house, and it is not
known what could have prompted the muir
der The deceased was the mother of
Colonel Magi fton. The razor was found in
casspool bt longing to the house.
The razor has been identified as the PRO-
perry OF w innemore. 1t is supposed that
the unexpe cted return Of the husband pre-
vented w innemore from plundering the
house. H was soldier in the late war,
and was in debt to the tavern-keeper where
he boarded He also was anxious to obtain

Hon. Henry Wilson.

Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts,, is engaged
in speaking in different localities to the
Southern people, explaining the reconstruc-
ton act and urging the people of both races
all classes to accept the act cheerfully, and
thus restore themselves to the Union. Mr..
Wilson has nothing to gain in this work
either of personal or pecuniary character.
He is actuated solely by wish to promote
the general welfare. His speeches are not
offensive in their character. Heis kind and
respectful in his manner and language,
though firm in asserting his principles. He
is simply seeking to do good to his fellow
countrymen. One would naturally suppose
that such a man, holding the high position
he does, would be cordially welcomed by all.
Not so, however. He is assailed in the most
vehement manner by the secession press gen.
orally, and in many instances he is dispar-
aged, ridiculed and maligned. The Rich
mond and Petersburg press led the way in
these assaults, and they have been followed
by the Wilmington press, in this State. For
example, a Richmond correspondent of the
Wilmington Journal says:
"Senator Wilson spoke here in the Capt.
tol Square on Monday last. No great ex
citement seems to have been consequence
of the same. So far the white man has not
been made black, nor has the black man
been made white by the effects of his disin-
terested efforts Politically speaking, he is
dying-fast dying, and we now earnestly
hope that by the time his tour is completed,
that he will be most blackly and thoroughly
dyed and most completely and d-nably
dead"
Mr.. Wilson is to speak in Wilmington on
the list of May, and the above is intended to
prejudice him with the people of that COM
munity. But it will have contrary effect
We predict that he will address 5000 per-
sons in Wilmington, and that nine-tcnths of
them will proclaim themselves Republicans.
Our loyal people thank Mr.. Wilson for his
Southern tour. They are turning out enthu-
to hear him. With his Union an
tecedents, and with proud consciousness of
his integrity, he can afford to persevere in
his good work, entirely disregarding the
malicious attacks that are made upon him.
