RETURN OF SENATOR WnsoN.-The Wash
linton correspondent of the New York 1ri-
6uaae says:
" Senator Wilson arrived here to-day from
New Orleans and left tonight for N Y. He
represents a good state of organization
among the Republican Union men of the
South. Immediately Oh his arrival here to-
day, Mr.. Wilson visited the rooms of the
Congressional Union Executive Committee,
and made arrangements for more vigorous
prosecution of the organization of the Union
party OF the South. Some of the strongest
men of the Union party north are to be in
vited to 60 South and enlighten the people
there. Judge Shellabarger is expected to
start South soon. After Mr.. Wilson has WIS.,
tied his home, he contemplates making an
other tour through the South. The Senator
represents the Reconstruction act as being
carried into effect faithfully by all the I'm
ion commanders. This is especially so in
Gen. Pope's District where no distinction is
made on account of race or color. On every
Board of Registration in Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida the colored people are repre-
resented by one of their own race. Sheri-
dan, Schofeld, Ord, and Sickles are not far
behind Pope, and are doing nobly in the
noble cause"

The Meeting at LashIey,S.

We publish to-day the proceedings of the
large and enthusiastic Republican meeting
held at Lashley's Cross Roads, Wake county,
on Saturday last. Not less than five hun
dred persons were present. This portion
of Wake has been celebrated for its devotion
to Union principles and we feel sure, from
what we saw and heard ON this occasion,
that the fires of Liberty and Union are burn
ing with undiminished brightness in this
neighborhood. Both races were represented
in the organization of the meeting, on the
committee, and in the speakers on the occa-
sion.
The Resolutions, like those adopted at the
Fayetteville meeting, cover the true ground
Wake County has thus far been well can
vassed by the Republicans. Meetings are
still to be held at Rolesville, Buckhorn, and
Affords Mill. Push on the column!

Finally, public policy should stilnulat

The owners of large estates should dlvid
and subdiYide their lands and sell them
reasonable rates to those who need them an
who can improve them. In the South thel

should be permitted to obtain homes. This

with safety to society. In these measures
Justice we expect and shall welcome the al
of many who formerly were shareholders an
participated in the rebellion.
By the acts herewith presented, it will b
seen that Congress reserves to itself full an
unrestricted right of judgment whenever
State presents itself for admission into th
Union. That right will be exercised fairl
and generously even, but yet in the interes
of peace and loyalty.
Certain conditions precedent are Iai,
down in these laws. These must be met
but beyond these conditions Congress mus
be satisfied also that the people of the pre-
posed States, respectively, are and are likel
to be loyal to the Union by decisive an
trustworthy majorities; that the institution
are framed upon the basis of equality, an
that they will from year to year and fror
age to age contribute to the peace, progress:
and prosperity of the State and of the cour
try.
If the people of the States lately in rebel
lion shall cheerfully and in good faith reoI
ganize their government upon the principle
of the laws passed by Congress, there vii
then remain no causes of difference betwee
the various sections of the country. TIL
Republican party is hostile to slavery an
opposed to its spirit and purposes. If til
spirit of slavery is permitted to cotrol til
institutions and civilization of the South
there can be no restoration of the Union
fact if there should be in name. The restora
ton of the Union means the establishment
of those relations of friendship between tn
States of the North and of the South whicl
now subsist between the States of the North
When that moment arrives, as it will sooI
arrive if the purposes of Congress are me-
in proper spirit by the people of the South
the nation will at once employ its lmmens
resources and power for the development
that region of the country, and in a shor
period of time not only will the evidences O
war have disappeared, but the reorganizeo.
States will be in the enjoyment of degree
of prosperity not before experienced.
There can be restoration, Cancellation,
friendship, and prosperity for all, if the
States lately in re,ellion rebuild their insti-
tutions upon the principles of justice; but ii
they dwell upon the past, revive and
strengthen the hatreds that were engendered
by the contests about slavery, if they deny
land, education, or equality of ri:,hts in any
particular to any class of their citizens, then,
in some degree, the malign influences of the
past and the present will be transmitted to
the future

Opinion of the Attorney General on the
Reconstruction Act.

We clip from the Sentinel of yesterday the
following summary of the opinion of Mr..
Stansberry on the Reconstruction Act. We
understand that it is a voluminous docu-
ment. 1t will appear in full in our next:
l. Persons, in order to registration, must
be citizens of the United States and of the
State.
2. They must be twenty-one years of age
at the date of applying for registration.
3. Militia and municipal officers before
the war. who engaged in rebellion, are not
DISTINGUISHED.
4. The terms Judicial, Legislative and
Executive" officers, who are disqualified,
certainly embrace the higher order of such
officers, who were such before the war, as,
for instance, under the head of Judicial,
Judges; under the head of Legislative,
members, but not subordinates under the
head of Executive, Governor, Treasurer, Au
dltor, Secretary, &c.
5. Besides these there are large number
of officers, whose status is in some way to be
Defined" such as Sheriffs, Justices OF Coun-
ty Courts" &c, who have jurisdiction over
but County, and yet others whose jurisdic
ton is restricted to the smallest civil sub
divisions The Attorney General has order
ed abstracts to be prepared for each of the
States, showing the character, &C., of these
officers, and he reserves until then an opin-
ion as to which are, and which are not, dis
franchised.
6. Engaging in the rebellion means di-
rect, overt act,-not common acts of human
ity or charity. Subscriptions to Confeder-
ate loans and voluntary contributions in
aid of the government, however. will dis
qualify, when the party had previously ia
ken the oath, in any of the prescribed Off
cial capacities, to support the Constitution
of the United States
z. &c. too, the performance of official du-
ties during the war, not incident to the war,
but in preservation of order and the admin
istration of Justice, was not engaging in
the rebellion"

Republican Meetings.
REPUBLICAN MEETING In WAKE.

Pursuant to previous notice large num-
Der of people assembled at Lashley's Cross
Roads, twenty-one miles west of Raleigh, on
the 25th instant, when, on notion j. w.
Collins was called to the Chair, Henry Smith
and Jacob Wilson were appointed Vice
Presidents, and l. Fl. Collins was appointed
Secretary.
The meeting was then addressed at con-
siderable length, in an able and eloquent
manner, by Ex-Governor Holden and MIR.
James H. Harris. They were followed by
MIR. Henry Smith and Mr.. James Jones, who
avowed their warm attachment to the he
publican party, and entertained the meeting
at some length with appropriate remarks.
The following Resolutions, reported by
committee consisting of II. q. Lashiey' W.
II. Bennett, T. B. Barker, Merrill ollVe, w.
T. Gunter, Willis Byrd, Nathan Coar' Amos
Byrd, G. EVANS, and Thomas wilson, were
unanimously adopted:
Res0Zced, That we rejoice that the Flag of
tbc Union once more floats over the whole
country. and we trust the day is not distant
when Secession and Treason will be forever
buried, and the Union restored on the broad
basis of liberty and justice to all.
ResoZced, That we are well pleased with
the acts of Congress to reconstruct the
Southern States, and we are ready and Will
ling as loyal citizehs to do all in our power
to give effect to those acts. But wefeel bound
to say, from observation and experience, that
it is necessary, in order to secure the recon-
struction of this State on thoroughly loyal
basis, that the existing rebel State organlza-
ton should be abolished
ResoZred That it seems hard that as loyal
citizens, we are taxed to support and keep
in existence a State organization, through
which rebels and persons disatfected to the
government are permitted to rule over us,
and at the same time to obstruct the work
of reconstruction.
RcsOlged, That we avow our warm and I'M
a1terable attachment to the Republican party
of the United States, and look to that party
as the only hope for liberty and good gov
ernment in this country.
Reso1ced, That we cordially endorse the
action of the Republican Convention held in
Raleigh on the 9th of March last.
Rex0zred, That the course of the North
Carolina Standard, in advocating the unity
of the nation, the supremacy of the federal
government, and universal suffrage, meets
our. hearty approval, and we tender its able
and fearless Editors our sincere thanks for
their indefatigable efforts to maintain and
perpetuate Liberty and Equal Rights to all.
Reaoloed, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the Standard. and other loyal pa
pers be requested to copy.
The meeting adjourned with the best of
feeling among the many Republicans present.

Brevet Major Gen. N A. Miles, Assistant
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for
the State of North Carolina, in his report for
the month of April, represents a satisfactory
condition of affairs in that State. The ma
jority of all classes appear to be moving in
their respective spheres with a determine
ton of purpose calculated to produce good
results. Notwithstanding much destItntion
prevails, there are encouraging prospects of
its being materially decreased. Crops bid
fair for large yield, and early fruits and
vegetables will soon be available. The adj
vancing Spring offers many opportunities to
labor; and there are but few localities where
those so disposed cannot obtain at least
partial support. The very liberal donations
from Northern philanthropists, in eonjunc-
ton with the facilities offered by the recent
resolutions of Congress, have enabled the
Bureau to reach cases of restitution unknown
heretofore or unable to be reached by the
Government. Farmers are working to the
fullest possible extent of their resources, and
large tracts of land, which have till now re-
manned forests, or which have tor years re-
manned idle, have been taken up by energet-
lie freedmen who are busy with their opera
lions, showing conclusively by the results al
ready obtained, that the great experiment of
free labor is success. AS general rule,
contractors are strictly observed by both
parties interested, and complaints of wrongs
or injuries are seldom heard. The educa-
tional work continues with unabatedsardOr,
notwithstanding the season has arrived
when many are called to the field of manual
labor. The monthly returns show much
more gratifying result than for any CORES
ponding period of the year previous. Gen.
Miles also says: "The initiatory steps ia
ken toward giving the eolored people their
rights of representation already gives evil
dence of IT'S influence in the development of
their manhood in q quiet manner, indicating
their appreciation of their position, unatten-
ded by any evidences of elatedness, but with
an earnestness of purpose characterized by
moderation and proper reasoning"

WHAT 1T ALL AMOUNTS To-The Griffin
Star editor, in giving an account of Mr..
Wilson's Atlanta speech, which he heard,
says:
''The Senator made one point clear, to
wit That reconstruction under the Sherman
bill meant simply this-when the South
adopts, by the constitutions and laws of
their States, the principles of that bill, and
sends to Congress representatives in perfect
harmony with the Radical majority, who can
be relied Oh at all times and occasions to vote
with that majority, then reconstruction will
be a fixed fact and not till then. In 9th er
words, when the South can be fully relied on
as thoroughly Radical, and certain to con-
tinue so, then Mr.. Wilson and his friends
Will be willing to rehabilitate and remit her
to those rights which the other States enjoy"
