The Victims of Stewards Little Bell

There is to be meeting in the City OF
New York, on the 22d of February, which
must excite great interest throughout the
country. It is to be composed of the vic
Tins of the arbitrary and despotic power
which Secretaries SEWARD and STANTON
welded during the war. It is said that
this meeting will be largely attended, as
many have already announced their inten-
ton of being present. They embrace, says
a correspondent of the Boston Post. Gov
errors of States, Senators, members of
Congress, clergymen, doctors and lawyers,
and the Convention will represent as much
intellect as ever assembled in the United
States Congress. Among those who will
certainly be present are Gov. Wall. of New
Jersey, Governors Lowe and Pratt, of
Maryland, Gov. Morchead, Gen. Black
we'll and Hon. James B. Clay, of Kentucky,
Hon. G. L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, George
W. Jones, D. A. Mahony and Henry Clay
Dean, of Iowa, Messrs. Milligan, Bowles
and Horsey, of Indiana. Algernon S. Sui
Ivan and James A. McMasters, of New
York, a number of clergymen and lawyers
of Missouri, besides hundreds of prominent
citizens of every State in which the tinkle
of Mr.. Seward s bell could be heard during
the war. Every State from Maine to Cali
fornia chose which formed the Confeder-
acy excepted) will be represented. It is
understood the Convention will not take
anv action whatevar on the ouestion Of tba
next Presidency, but confine itself strictly
to the main object for which it has been
called-to assert the supremacy of Consti-
tutional principles, denounce the arbitrary
acts of the last Administration and the
efforts of the Radical party to Africanize
the country, and afford the victims of
Stewards little bell an opportunity to be-
come personally acquainted with each

The University.

We publish the report of the Commit
tee of Trustees, who were requested to in
vestigate the condition of the University
and suggest such reforms in it's educational
management as they might deem necces-
sary. There can be, Or at least there should
be, few subjects of more interest to the
people of North Carolina than the welfare
and prosperity of the State University.
Much of the past proud history of the State
much of the worth, intelligence and refine.
ment of the present day, is owing to the
beneficial influence of this grand old insti
tution-this nourishing mother of itera.
ture and learning. Her good auspices have
also left their impress upon the men and
institutions of other States.
The report which we publish to-day was
adopted by the Trustees, at their recent
meeting, though its provisions will not &c
into operation until the commencement Of
the next collegiate year in June, 1868, al
which time the University will be further
reorganized 10y the election of full corps
of Professors.
This latter, after all, is at present the
important matter to be decided, and
one which the people of the State, through
the press, should consider. The persone
of the Faculty, and especially as to the
individual who shall occupy the Presi
dency, has more to do with the immediate
prosperity of the University than all Others
it is the one practical issue. Any and
all 20 be chosen must be competent. THAI
is not a question to be- considered, but
follows as matter of course. But there
must be something more than mere capac
ity. Many persons capable of taking
charge of Washington College could have
been found, but how many could have
been chosen, who in two short years would
have rescued its fallen fortunes and made
it one of the most prosperous schools il

prosperity.
The frowns of Heaven, which have sent
us unpropitious seasons-the curse of man.
which has rendered our laborers worthless
the injustice of Congress, which has heap
ed burdens upon our productions-have
left US almost helpless. The dearth of pro-
visions, the absolute want for the veriest
necessities of life during the earlier months
of the New Year, will lend additional suf-
ferings to our section. Those whose means
or industry have supplied their store-houses
will be in peril of its loss, often at the ex-
pense of their lives by the hands of the
vicious needing bread. We are not, there
fore, prepared to do without the protection
of the military. Federal soldiers, acting
under the orders of C6fcers and gentlemen,
could exercise authority and protect the
peaceful, when the efforts of local police
would be injuriously misinterpreted by the
evil disposed And in this connection, it
gives US pleasure to state that military af-
fairs, under the administration of our pres
ent Post Commander, has been marked by
a spirit of Justice and decision which has
Injured to the general welfare, and has es-
tablished for him reputation which must
be dear to Il true soldier-one who loves
his flag and his country, and honors truth
and justice.
In gloom, in dependency, in material
prostration, in absolute want, the South
to-day heralds the New Year. National
injustice has ruined one section, and is fast
laying its blighting hands upon the other.
In the very frenzy of despair our people
appeal to the yet free whites of the North to
stay the red right hand of party despotism
and national injustice. In the grave of the
dead year let US bury the sectional animos-
tiles which have delayed reconstruction
and checked reconciliation. Let us borrow
hope from the fraternal oblations which the
Northern States have offered upon their
political affairs, trusting that the solemn
dirges which announce the death of the
year may also be the grand requiems over
the grave of sectional hate and national
injustice.
We hope for brighter prospect Tor the
South than that which now seems to fill
her horoscope. When the year, born to-
day, is about to close, may smiling peace
and plenty be broadcast over the entire
length and breadth of the land

Murder by an Armed Mob,
FALKLAND, PITT Co., N. c.,
Dec. "a, 1867.

Editors Journal To the long list OF
murders and outrages that have recently
occurred in different localities, we have to
add that of Mr.. Willis Briley. a quiet, in:
offensive man, living in the neighborhood
of Ballord's Store, in this county. Mr.. B.
was brHtally murdered in his own house
early in the night of the 23d instant He
was shot down dead in the presence of his
wife and children. The mob that commit
ted this hellish deed is said to have con-
sisted of about thirty mounted men. Who
they were or where they came from is only
matter of conjecture so far. The same
party attempted the murder of other citi-
zens living near Mr.. Briley's, but they sue
ceeded in making their escape. We pre-
sumo the proper authorities will make every
effort to ferret out the violators Of the laws
of our country and of God. The cold
blooded and heartless murder of such an
innocent, harmless old man as Mr.. Briley,
at his freside with his family around him,
has awakened general alarm and indigna-
tion, and we learn intense ezpitepentpreYails
IN tne nsighborhood. There are various
theories aaoat in regard to this murder,
hut we forbear comment, as we are not
satisfied which is the correct one.

Important Movement.

A call is published in the Richmond pa
pers, signed by the leading professional
and business men of that city, for public
meeting to adopt measures to encourage
immigration from abroad. DR.. OLIVER, a
gentleman from Scotland, now in Virginia
for the purpose of ascertaining the induce
ments to emigration from his country, will
be present to give and receive information.
We trust this meeting will result in some
thing practical. Without immigration, Ia
Dor and capital, this Southern country can
never recover from its prostration. and that
particular section which first acts upon this
fact will first realize the benefits to be de-
rived. We hope ere long that our own i'm
mediate people will wake up to the vital
Importance of this question, and take steps
to inaugurate movement that alone can
bring us renewed and certain prosperity.

'e WASHINGTON, April 6, 1868.
Thad. Stevens, the long acknowledged
leader of the House in its Radical on
slaughts upon the constitution, the fer
cest if not the strangest spirit of all the
Radical band, impeachment's foremost
champion, was not always as successful
in his schemes and efforts as he has lat
terly been as an exponent of Radicalism.
At the time when the great anti Ma
sonic excitement-born to life from the
Morgan bugbear-swept over the land,
like fierce simoom, from Maine to Geor-
gia, Thad. Stevens was a member of the
Legislature of Pennsylvania Espous-
ing the cause of the anti-Masons from
disappointment, and actuatediby feelings
of the bitterest animosity against the
Masons for reasons that will be made ap-
parent, he introduced resolution to the
effect that the House, of which he was
member. inquire into the subject of Ma
sonry, with power to send for persons
and papers. The House, largely anti
Masonic-the members as well as the
Governor of the State having been elect
ed upon the then tremendous issues of
the day-adopted almost unanimously
the resolution, and number of well
known masons were summoned to attend
the "high court then in session at Har
risburg, to give evidence in matters ap-
pertaining to the Masonic order.
A thorough investigation was to be
had in the premises and the secrets of
the brotherhood laid bare to the world.
The ''devil'' the ''goat" and :he "grid-
iron" were to be shown up in all their
hideousness; the fearful and horrible
rites and ceremonials were to be brought
forth. and exposed to the light of day,
