Co1ERA1NE, BERTHE Co.. March rs, 1887.
TO the Editors Of the Standard:
GENTLEMEN There continues to be, in
some of the newspapers of the State, con-
slant repetition of former misrepresentation
respecting me, without any regard to the
correction of them which appeared in the
Standard of the 1st of January last. Per
haps ought, before, to have publicly at
firmed the correctness ofthe statements made
in that issue of your paper in regard to my
course during the rebellion. I do so now
Your statement of my present position is
also correct. But have concluded that tits
my duty to EXPRESS, more in detail, to the
people of North Carolina, my views upon
the present unfortunate and embarrassing
condition of public affairs. You will add to
my obligations for your past kindness, if you
can make room to publish the address which
i now send you.
Ssl Yours respectfully,
JOHN POOL.

their interests, united in unwavering sup
port of those measures and candidates for
office that seemed best calculated to regain
and re-establish their power and influence.
In many instances they succeeded in carry
ing their points. So damaging was the eff
feet of this conduct upon the federal rela-
tions of the State, and SO unexpected to the
national authorities, that the President of
the United States, who, from motives of mer-
CIV and magnanimity, had unwittingly
opened the door to it, felt called upon to adj
minister his rebuke and remonstrance in the
following telegram:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9th, 1865.
Hon. W. W. HOLDEN, Proc. Gorernor:
"The results of the re-
cent elections in North Carolina have greatly
damaged the prospects of the State in the
restoration of its governmental. relations
Should the action and the spirit of the Leg
islature be in the same direction, it will
greatly increase the mischief already done,
and might be fatal
1t is hoped, the action and spirit manifcs-
ted by the Legislature will be SO directed as
rather to repair than increase the difficult
ties under which the State hasalready placed
itself.n ANDREW JOHNSON,
Presdeat Of the United States.
This courteous but pointed advice was i'm
mediateiy communicated to the Legislature,
but was not only unheeded, but treated with
defiant contempt by those for whom it was
intended. As was to be expected, when our
representatives, elected to Congress under
the Presidents preparatory proceedings for
the restoration of the State, arrived in WASH
ington, they found the Congress fearful and
indisposed to confirm and perpetuate the re-
suit of those proceedings by the sanction Of
civil authority. So unexpected and danger
Gus seemed the united action of the rebel
leaders, since the commencement of those
proceedings, that Congress deemed it essen
tial to the national safety to await further

MURDER N NoRro1K-As INJURED

MURDER IN N0RTOLK-AN INJURED HUs,,
BAND KILLS Hrs WIFE's PARAMOuR.-At @
little before IL o'clock last night o murder
was committed at No. 81 west Wide
Water street, which was known to persons
in the house but not outside until George
Smith, the murderer, on his way to tie
watch-house to give himself into the hands
of the police, met policeman Sheppard,
told him the particulars, and surrendered
himself. Smith was taken to the watch
house.
Smith, who for some time past has been
employed rs laboring man about the
New York steamers when in port. had had
his attention called to an improper init
macy between George Martin, an en-
ploye on board the steamship Niagara, and
his wife. Martin was in the habit of visit
ing Smiths house when in port, and was
informed that he could continue to do SO
provided he conducted himself properly,
remarking that grounds for suspecting him
had been offered him, which he dis
credited. Last night, on Smiths return
home from work, he found Martin in his
wife's bed, drew his pocketknife, and
stabbed him in the heart. Martin stag
gered into the adjoining room, fell at the
foot Of a bed, and died.
We saw the prisoner at the watch-house
conversing with his wife at 1:30 4. M. He
stated that he acted on the excite
ment Of the moment, and not in cold
blood. A surgeon was called in, but too
late to be of any service.-NorfolE Jour-
nal Of yesterday.

"The working classes must feel the bur

would probably get up great professions,
and cry out against oppression. Being
Americans, accustomed to restrictions and
small social tyrannies, which the most

Neither Surratt nor anybody else is ever
likely to be punished in this city for aiding
the rebellion, whether as an assassin OF the

likely TO get clerkship in one Of the De-

of intense excitement this morning by the
discovery that Mr.. Gowing, a well-to-do

kept several hundred dollars IN the house.

that the COWS were in the corn, and as
soon as he opened the door, fcllcd him to
