"A New Arrangement"

The Raleigh Progress of a late date speaks of
new arrangement between the North Carolina,
Wilmington and Weldon, and Seaboardr roads, up
on which it remarks:
Unless we are greatly mistaken, Wilmingt ton
and Newbern will receive peculiar benefit from the
combination, subtracting or dlyertlng much trade
from Norfolk.
The Wilmington Post congratulates itself
the state of facts referred to- and says that the
rangement is one by which both the RAILROAD
Company and the merchants of Wilmington will
be benefited and our people will soon behold
some of the substantial results of the new ar
rangement.
else nature of the determinations imposed by the
new combination. but regret that the rivalry be-
tween Norfolk and her sister cities should deyel-
CD itself in what the Post calls the diplomatic
arrangement" of Colonel Fremont.
Determinations all in the nature of protec-
ton, and while they may benefit corporations, OF
even communities, their effects are necessarily
pernicious.-No1JoLE Virgipid1s
We regret that the Raleigh Progress and
our contemporary, the Post, should have
fallen into an error which can in no way
benefit Wilmington or New Berne, and may
tend to iniure the creditable efforts of the
officials of the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad to increase the business of thei
Company.
We can assure our Norfolk contemporary
that the "new arrangement" can in NJ
possible way injure Norfolk or benefit Viii
mington. 1t consists only in the route by
which freight to and from Middle anG
Western North Carolina, for or from, the
North shall be transported. Heretofore i
has gone by the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail
road-not passing over the forty-eigh
miles of the North Carolina Railroad be
tween Raleigh and Goldsboro'. An ar
rangement has now been made between the
North Carolina and the Wilmington ant
Weldon Railroads, by which this freigh
shall go by way of Goldsboro'. That is
the freight passing between Charlotte, O.
any point on the North Carolina Rail
road to Norfolk, or uice rersa, shall pas
over the whole length of the Road to Colds
boro', Ind to and from Weldon by the VII
mington and Weldon Railroad.
The two roads which have made this al
per, or any interference with any of tn
old channels of trade, except the Raleigl
and CASTOR Railroad, are corporations il
which the State has very large interest
and it was for their mutual advantage, an,
for the benefit of North Carolina that j
was entered into. It can possibly be @
little interest, either to Norfolk or Peters
burg, whether the freight which seeks thos
cities come by Goldsboro' or by the RAJ
eigh and CASTOR Railroad. It does affec

Registration in Virginia-Prospects In
other states.

We are glad to see, as the lists of re-
gistered voters from the various counties
come in, that the old Commonwealth pre-
sents a large majority of whites. In
published statement embracing forty-hve
counties and an aggregate OF nearly thirty
four thousand votes, the lCAtte majority
is nearly nineteen thousand Included In
the list are the cities Of Richmond, Peters
burg, Norfolk, Alexandria, Lynchburg,
&C., all of which give large negro major
tiles.
OF the forty-fve counties, Mirty-one give
erAite maiorities, and it is til ought that in
the remainder, not only the proportlonate
maiorities will be maintained, but that an
equal majority Of the other counties will go
| for the whites. This will, without doubt,
secure the State to the Conservative whites,
and Virginia, with her proud history and
noble associations, will be saved from ne
gro domination.
| The lesson taught by the example Of the
! Old Dominion should not be lost upon us.
! Since the Topping off Of West Virginia,
! the proportion of whites here is as great as
! in that State. If we will register thirty or
forty thousand white majority in North
| Carolina. the defeat of black and white
| Radicals will be an easy matter. This can
and ought to be done, and when we look
at the fate of Tennessee it is enough OF
| itse If to urge us to action. To avoid the
lawlessness and profigacy which renders
life, property and the privilege of a free
man the play-things of q cruel and despe-
| rate tyrant and his ignorant and besotted
minions, should be the object of the earn
est and manly desire of all good citizens.
A united effort will save lis from this igno-
miny and danger, and certainly the prize
is worth the trial.
We have always thought that Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia and Texas, al
) least, would be saved from the control o.
? the negroes, unless the latter is given tc
them by the partizanship OF General SHEER
IDAN and his willing subordinates Under
1 the liberal and just administration of Gen
eral ORD, Arkansas may also be saved. W.
hope no efforts, consistent with law ant
good order will be spared to accomplish
( SO desirable an end. If in these States
acting in compliance with the laws of Con
/ gress, the native whites can maintain th
t ascehdancy, we may have peace, prosperit.
: and an early return of all branches OF bu
siness and industry to their old and legi
innate channels. To do this, all not dis
:, franchished must REGISTER.

A Black Chapter.

In the many dark chapters the revolu-
tionary history of our government has fur
nished, the blacklist finds record in the
startling confessions of Conover," which
we publish this morning. While we would
receive with much doubt anything coming
from this man, Durham or Conover, the
leading Radicals whom he duplicates in his
crimes cannot complain if the story carries
conviction with it, as they fully endorse him
in their application for his pardon.
But unfortunately for Ashley, Holt, But
Ter and other partners in guilt, Conover
does not ask confidence in his unconfrmed
statements, but submits papers and letters
from the impeachers which will rise up in

man as Conover or Durham, as he is now
called for none others could be found so

The New Arrangement.

ssThere is another view, however, by which Nor
folk is made to suffer by this new arrangement,
and this is as d stakeholder IL the Raleigh and
CASTOR road, in whose prosperity as snch she is
somewhat largely interested, to the amount of
$40 COO Such the facts and differences which
the new combination develops according TO our
Ali that Norfolk and Portsmouth expect from
the Seaboard road is that the road be worked to
its fullest capacity, and this presume it is do
ing and intends to do. AS Norfolk is so largely
interested q stakeholder in the Raleigh and
CASTOR railroad, and many Of our citizens like
wise own stock in the road, it behooves our mer-
chants and business men in making their ship
ments, to that all freight is marked 81 td L.
! G.. r. r." Tho rate for freight by both routes Is
| the same."-Norfolk Journal
The above are the closing paragraphs OF
long comment upon the unfortunate error
into which two of our State papers in
advertently fell in regard to the new
freight arrangement. We are glad that
the Norfolk Journal viewed this matter in
its proper light, as not interfering with the
business of that city, but merely as to the
route freight should take, to and from this
State, to that port.
In view of the fact that the City of Nor
folk owns seventy thousand dollars of stock
in the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad, it is
very proper for the papers of that place tc
advise its merchants and business men IL
making their shipments to send them 6 OK
RALEIGH AND CASTOR RAILROAD" but il
view of the fact that the State of Nortl
Carolina owns very large amount of stool
in both the North Carolina and the Will
mington and Weldon Railroads., and thu
every citizen thereof is directly interested
probably it is well for them, as purchasers
to order their goods shipped by the Stat
route. We would regard the merchant
and business men of Norfolk as contuma
cious, indeed, if they refused to send goods
as advised, because it was for the benefit c
the purchaser, even though a differer
route was beneficial to themselves. Sue
a course would much more likely caus
them to lose future orders than to ad
much to the prosperity of the Raleigh an

Let us counsel the merchants and bus
ness men of Norfolk to attend to the!
legitimate business and not heed the advie
of those who would have them act in col
fiict with the interests of their patrons.

Judge MeaEes.

AS we supposed, General S1cKLEs has in
effect endorsed the action of Judge MEAREs
in regard to juries. His action has been in
favorable contrast with that Of Judges at
other points in this State, who placed ne
groes upon juries who had not paid taxes
for the current year, being clearly at vari-
ance with their duty and not consistent
with the order.
Judge MEAEEs has preserved the dignity
of his position, acted consistent with his
oath of office, and it now appears in accor-
dance with what General SICKLEs regards
as right and proper, and has not only the
approval of all good citizens, but what is
better, that of his own conscience.

Civil VS.. Military Authority.

It will be seen that the President,
through General GRANT, Acting Secretary
of War, has informed General SICKLEs that
no order of his will be permitted to inter.
fere with process issued by the Federal
Court.
This, we suppose, will end the conflict OF
authority, with the first submission OF the
military to the civil power OF the
Government. We say end the conflict, as
it is one thing to suspend the laws Of the
Legislature OF North Carolina, and pay
no regard to the process of her Courts,
and quite another to disobey the orders OF
the Constitutional Commander-in-Chle
coming through the actual Commander-in-
Chief.
We have said that we regarded the posi-
ton assumed by Colonel FRANK as consis-
tent with the orders of his commanding
officer, and the order itself was in accordance
with the powers claimed and conceded by
J Congress to the District Commanders. 1t
! is the only order of General SICKJIEs which
was advantageous to our people, and as
usual, in the various conflicts of authority
between the President and Congress, OF
between him and the Military Comman,
ders, the people of the Southern States are
the sufferers If the order of Gen. SICK
LES is thus made partially nugatory, it is te
be hoped he will withdraw it altogether.

We see that A. D. McNairy, lawyer of
Nashville, and who during the war was
q captain in the Confederate army, has
been arrested day or two since, on an in
dictment found by the Grand Jury of Hick-
man county. The alleged offence is that
Captain McNairy captured some thirty-five
or forty mules destined for the Federal
army, from man named Ledbetter, while
his regiment was on duty in Tennessee.
McNairy was released on giving bond in
the sum of 81, 800 for his appearance. This
is striking evidence of the realities of
