FROM WASHINGTON. extract
the following from special despatch
to the Baltimore San, of Monday:
e'It is expected that the President
will, during the present week, appoint
q successor to Mr.. Stanton, as Secre
tary of War. AS yet, no selection
has Eeen made; but it is believed the
Executive is desirous of bringing
into his Cabinet one who is as near
as may be the type of the conserva-
tive sentiment of the people as
evinced in the recent elections.
Such an one the late Gov. Andrew,
OF Massachusetts, was regarded, and
it was understood, in official circles,
that he was to succeed MIR. Stanton,
who, as before stated in these de-
spatches, will probably be removed
outright under the authority of law
as it stood prior to the passage of the
tenure of Office Act. The latter Act
Is construed by the President as in
valid, 30 far as it applies to Cabinet
officers. By some, the first section
OF that law is interpreted as applying
only to members of Cabinet actually
appointed by Mr.. johnson; and as
MIR. Stanton never received a formal
nomination by the present Executive,
his case, it is argued, does not come
within the terms of the tenure of
Office law.
'"The dismissal of Mr.. Bradley from
the District of Columbia bar yester-
day, by the Supreme Court of this
city, has been to-day the subject of
criticism among lawyers. Whilst it
IS admitted that the conduct of Mr..
Bradley may have been sufficient to
warrant his dismissal upon regular
hearing in the mode usual. it is never
theless claimed that an attorney can.
not be discharged except upon spe-
cifications filed and trial had thereon;
that this procedure, which ended in
the dismissal of Mr. Bradley, was, as
presented by the record, merely
case of contempt, the penalty for
which only goes so far as fine and
imprisonment. 1t will be rccollected
that the matter grew ont of the trial
OF Surratt, Mr.. Bradley being one of
the prisoner s counsel. A great deal
of partizan feeling was manifested by
both parties during the trial, and the
parties pro and con arc equally well
defined. Now the trial in all its
phases is regarded by eminent law
yers as the most disgraceful in the
annals of Jurisprudence"

COLUMBIA. :.
Thursday Ae::5s;i Nov. IA, 1867.
! Hard 'trimca this winter.

We learn from one of our New
York exchanges, that the financial
prospect grows worse and worse in
that great commercial emporium.
Hundreds of houses in that and other
cities are said to be on the brink of
rain, and how they can be saved, is a
question that no one seems capable
OF solving. A New York merchant
states that in sixteen years expert
ence, he has never seen, trade SO dull
as it is at present, and another states
that unless business improves, there
viii be greater crash before the lat
of January, than that of 1857.
= 1t is further stated, that prices
have gone down to an extent that
, mnst be ruinous to houses that have
large stocks on hand; but even the
largo reduction of prices fails to
tempt buyers. The banks are shut
ting down on commercial paper, and
merchants who have large payments
to make, many of them will have to
80 into liquidation, while Wall street
grows more uneasy every day. There
isa larger number of people, in every
branch Of industry, out of employ
ment at the North, than there. ever
was at this season of the year; and
that number, it is thought, will be
greatly increased during the winter.
The people and the press at the
North have good reason to believe,
as they do. that they are on the eve
Of the hardest time experienced since
1887.
In this frightful condition of the
business world at the great CONNER
cial centre of the Northern and East
-ern States, it behooves the impove-
'rished people of this section to pre-
pare for the coming storm, and, if
possible, to avert the evils which
always and without fail follow COM
mercial revulsions like that now
threatened. Economy and industry
should be the order of the day;
while the producers Of .aeir fertile
soil should bend all their energies 70
raise the necessary provisions for
man and beast. There are now hun
dreds of thousands of producers
among us, more than in former times,
and they must live. If one class
does not work, they must neverthe-
less have something to eat and to
wear; whilst the other class, the
Widows and orphans which the war
has bequeathed us, must be support
ed. This condition of affairs should
be taken into serious consideration
by our planters and farmers, and for
this season, at least, let them devote
their means and labor to the produc-
ton of food for the poverty stricken
people. No man who loves the
South, or who wishes to see her pros
per, should now withhold his hand
from any work that he can do, whe-
therit may be considered respectable
or not. The idea of simply making
money or amassing a fortune, in these
times, should be banished from the
minds of the Southern people; but,
by united efforts, they can manage
to live through the present crisis, for
which they will be hereafter thankful.

Indiana...GOv. Morton.

Gov. Morton's message was delivered to
the Legislature of Indiana on the 11th We
copy the following summary of the message:
" He is opposed to the sudden payment of
the national debt He says it was contrac-
ted through the misconduct of the South,
and they and their children should bear
their just proportion, which they cannot do
in their present impoverished condition,
therefore taxation should be reduced to the
amount necessary to pay interest and the or
binary expenses of the government, and the
payment of the principal postponed to times
OF more general prosperity. He considers
return to specie payments not a result so I'M
portant that we should hazard general dis
order and bankruptcy to attain, and a further
reduction of currency at this time unsafe.
The North, he says, has not been animated
by spirit Of revenge in dealing with the
South since the conclusion of the rebellion,
but the course of the South has had its nat
ural and inevitable effect upon the public
mind of the North, which is rapidly passing
from mercy and forgiveness to stern demands
for Justice and the exaction of the penalties
for treason.
The Governor adds: The right unqnes-
tionably exists, and if in its exercise Con-
gress conters suffrage upon negroes and over
turns their State governments, the South
Will nave tile consolation OF knowing THAT Id
is their own act and deed Let them AXE
warning, and speedily reform their ways, be-
fore they have driven the nation to point
where passion and prejudice must both give
way to the stern necessity of establishing
new governments that will protect all men
in the exercise and equal enjoyment OF lite,
liberty and property. But, come what Will
come the nation will live, and its unity and
power be established"
Gov. Morton has been unanimously noml-
mated for the U. S. Senate by the Republl-
cans of the Legislature, and has no doubt
been elected. Gov. NJ. distinguished him
self as the friend of the soldier during the
war, and Ivy the zeal with which he pressed
the war for the suppression of the rebellion.
He is deservedly one of the most popular OF
all the public men of the Northwest. tie
has no doubt uttered in his message the SEN
timents of vast majority of the people Oh
that region of country.

An Erroneous Impression Corrected,

There is no foundation for the impression
that Congress is about to te,ritorialize the
Southern States. The proposition in Mr..
Stevens bill, and indeed in all the bills on
the subject, is simply to re-organi-e them.
AT the close of the rebellion the President
found the insurgent States without govern
ments BY virtue of his power as comman-
der-in chief, he proceeded to re-organize these
States. He permitted the people to form
new governments, and new governments were
thus set up under martial law But it was
for Congress to decide whether these govern
ments should continue. The President I'M
questionably so held at the time, and his
Provisional Governors were so instructed 1t
was for the la'e-nanhing power of the country
to say whether the work was such as should
be received. That power has decided that
the States were not properly recognized,
and that it must now be done in accordance
with such rules as it may prescribe. When
thus done. and not before, the Southern
States will be "restored,' to use the language
of the President ''to their constitutional re-
lations to the federal government"
No one has proposed to reduce the South
ern States to the condition of Territories.
The purpose simply is to re-organize them.
Ifthe President, who can make no law. had
the power to re-organize them, surely the
Congress, the making power. has the
right to do so. These States had lost hy
rebellion, their constitutional relations to
the federal government" 1t is monstrous
right to restore State to these relations.
He can no more do this than he can prepare
Territory for admission, and when tins
prepared, urge its admission into the Union
as State.
Indeed, Mr.. Stevens bill, and all the bills
we have seen provide for continuing thspre.
sent de tHct0 governments until the new GOV
ernments shall have been put in operation.
Does this look as if the purpose was to ter
ritoriazize the Statcs2
We go further and state, that those North
Carolinlans who are so roundly abused forha
ing advised the introduction of Mr.. Stevens,
bill, have thus far prevented the displacement
OF the present State governments and the es-
Establishment of military governments. The
bill itself will show this, as it proposes to
continue the present governments until re-
organization shall have been effected. thus
excluding purely military rule We make
this statement with no expectation of recei
wing any thanks from those officials who
have thus been favored, but simply to aid in
removing the unfounded impression that the
friends of Mr.. Stevens bill are the advocates
OF territorial or military governments. If
martial law should be declared by Congress
and put in full operation in the Southern
States, those who have had control in these
States since the provisional governments
ceased, may blame themselves for it.

RALEIGH. N. Q.
THURSDAY. JANUARY II, 1867.
The Right of Petition.

| The Sentinel denies that it advised the
grand juries of the State to indict persons
who have signed memorials to Congress to re-
organize the State government. That paper
would deny any thing, or assert any thing to
advance its ends. 1t admits however, that
it cautioned the public against the move
ment, and advised tue grand juries to look
into the matter Look into it for what p
Why, of course to indict the signers. What
else2 1t, therefore, denies in one breath the
charge we brought against it, and in the
next admits it. This is very much like the
Sentinel
The people have a right to petition for
what they please, and the tools of petty ty-
rants can not even inquire into this right
The right of petition is above inquiry If
the people can not appeal or cry to Congress,
then they are slares. If, when they attempt
to exercise this last privilege of free men,
they are met with threat from those in au-
thority that their right to do so must be in
quired into, and if found guilty of sedition
or rebellion, they must be dealt with by the
grand juries-we say if this is their condi-
ton, then they have no rights as free men.
But the people will not surrender the ri ght
eof petition. They will maintain and exer-
else it at all hazards.
We again call the attention of the Con-
gress of the United States to the fact, that
the people of this State have fallen so low,
under the hand of rebel power, that when
they presume to exercise the right of petit
tioning the Congress for redress of grievan-
ces they are threatened by the organ of Gov.
Worth with indictment and punishment for
50 doing. Our people are oppressed and dis,
satisfied They are governed by disloyal
men, who prescribe, malign and prosecute
the loyal. and who are not " we'll affected" in
any sense to the United States government.
Our loyal people have no representative in
Congress, and must, therefore, petition to or
memorable that body for redress of griev-
ances. They have no other way of making
their wants known than through the right of
petition. If this right is taken from them
they will once at sink bc.ow the level of the
Poles and Hungarians, for the Car will hear
Austria will hear the prayers of the other
We pray the Congress to end all these COM
plants and troubles by speedy action in the
work of reorganization. We shall have no
peace, no stable or loyal government, and no
prosperity until this work is done.
