A Noble Act of Justice.

Weare gratitied to learn, as we do from
the Marlborough Southerner and the Sentinel,
that Gen. Candy has released from impris-
onment in Marlborough Jail, Maj. Tatten,
Barnes and Mancr, unjustly sentenced to i'm
prisonment bya Rebel Court on account of
their political opinions.
We read tho proceedings in these cases
with indignation. These men were perse-
cuted because they were members of the
Union League and 'oyal to the nation, and
if Gen. Candy had not released them, as
we are glad he has, Gov. Holden would
certainly have done so at the earliest prac-
ticable moment. Loyal citizens must be
protected. Freedom of opinion and of the
ballot must be maintained. The humblest
citizen of the State must enjoy equal civil
privileges and rights with the most exnlted
Persecution of the people because they be-
long to the Leagues or to the Heroes, or be-
cause they vote as they please, must cease.
Loyal men alone shall rule"

Both Houses of tine General Assemble II
North Carolina passed resolution rat;fv;r.

day evening.
The II ouse was first to act in the matter
Mr.. Seymour, of Craven, having introduced
the resolution, made brief, but eloou.nt
speech, and then moved the previous oues
ton. The vote was 70 in the affirmative
and % in the negative.
A message was transmitted to The Senate
at once, notifying that body OF the action of
the House.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Rich, that the
Senate concur in the action of the House
Mr.. Robbins, conservative Senator from
Rowan. led of in speech against ratifyinp
the amendment.
Mr.. Blythe, of Henderson, followed in one
of his best efforts. The rejection of the
amendment by the Rebel Legislature and
the results arising therefrom, and the future
condition Of the State. if the amendment
was again rejected, were too plainly delinea-
ted by Mr.. Blythe to admit of any misun.
Outstanding.
Mr.. Welke5 of Guilford, followed Mr..
Blythe. His speech, was brief. eloquent and
to the point. The vote will be seen in
another column.
Step by step, the old State again resumes
her Constitutional rights to the Union, never
again to be broken.
The election for two United States Sena-
tors will take place next Tuesday week.
When this election is over, the last link in
the chain of restoration will have been
forged, and then the members of Congress
will take their seats. Grand, loyal result.
The Union fires of 1861, 1853 and 1865,
which burneds bright during the rebellion,
have at last trlumphed.
We trust the harmonious action of the
Legislature, so earnestly begun, will not be
marred by any thing that may occur during
its session; and that the greatest good, to
the greatest number" will be steadily kept
in view. . a..

The lamentations of the Sentinel, the
Rebel organ, over the grand proceedings in
this City on the 4th instant, are amusing.
That paper keeps up its old game of ridi-
Guile in relation to the Republican party.
The answer is, the Republican party is Sc
curely in power, is above the Sentinel and
its selfish, bafie.l followers, and the admins
tration Of the government by the Republi-
can party will command the respect of every
decent citizen in the State. Decayed oil
garchs whose only claim to responsibility is
in the past, may sncer and ridicule, but the
people will laugh at them and the Republic
can party, with Gov. Holden at its head,
will govern them. Selah.

VI EuSlduu Is cqudi " tiidt VI duy country,
yet the English .'ebt is the result Of the &C
cumulations OF ages, and is of enormous
magnitude. The secret of the credit of
England is the unvarying punctuality with
which her interest is paid, and the fact that
she is constantly adding to her wealth and
power by the use of what she has borrowed
I do not doubt that the General Assembly,
responding to the general wish of our peo-
pie, will make prompt and ample provision
for meeting the interest on the State debt.
By meeting promptly the interest on her
debt the State will be enabled to borrow
money to prosecute internal improvements,
which are essential to the development of
her resources. Money thus expended, and
money expended for education, will consti-
tute the very best investment the State could
make. A vigorous and well-directed system
of internal Improvements, from the seashore
to the Tennessee line, thus placing US in direct
communication with the Mississippi valley,
with cheap rates of freight and travel, would
stimulate agriculture and the mechanic arts,
build up our seaports, increase our CON-
merce both foreign and coastwise, draw
thither immigrants from the Northern States
and from Europe, arrest emigration from the
State, give employment to thousands of our
people, and thus place us at no very distant
day in the front rank of American States
No State in the Union has superior advan-
tages to North Carolina, whether we consid-
or the extent of her seacoast, the value of
her harbors, her geographical situation, the
salubrity of her climate, o. the nature and
variety of her resources and productions
She is exempted on the one hand from the
protracted and rigorous winters of the
North, and on the other from the blasting
heats of the South. Favored thus with eli
mate and soil, extending from Currituck to
Cherokee five hundred miles, and one hun

to do justice to all, and, as far as may be, to
be the friends of all. If the administration
of public affairs shall bring peace, prosperity
and happiness, al will share in these bless

disorder, and further suffering and misery.
none will be exempt from these calamities.
The injunction of the Constitution regard
ing education should be faithfully observed.
Colleges, high schools, Normal schools for
the education of teachers, and public schools
for all, should be established at the earliest
practicable period, and literally sustained
from the public treasury. We should so
conduct our public schools as to render them
superior to all others of similar kind in
the State, and thus make it the interest, as
we'll as the duty Of parents to regard them
as common to all, the rich and the middle
classes as we'll as the poor. The first duty
of q free State is to educate its children. 1t
cannot be too often repeated that the
structure and perpetuity of free institutions
depend on the intelligence and virtue of the
people. Wemust either prepare to educate
thoroughly the rising generation of both
races, or abandon the hope that we shall
continue free, self-governing State 1t
does not follow, nor dues the Constitution
require, that the white and colored races
shall be educated together in the same
schools. 1t is believed to be better for both,
and more satisfactory to both, that the
schools should be distinct and separate
But they should be equally calculated to
lmpart instruction, and the schools for the
two, thus separate and apart, should ENJOY
equally the fostering care OF the State
