THE IMPEACHMENT.

The impeachment of Andrew johnson for
high crimes and misdemeanors is drawing
to close. The managers for the Honse
have closed their arguments, and Mr.. John
sons counsel are now being heard. He is
having in all respects very fair trial. "
Our information from Washington salts
fies us that he will be convicted and unseat-
ed. This is consummation devoutly to be
wished. In the name of Liberty and Jus
tice we appeal to Senators to do their duty.
and thus save the country from the dangers
that threaten it. We trust that honest old
Ben Wade will soon. be President. Loyal
men every where will then breathe ,freer.-
The nation will settle itself on solid rbasis,
for it will no longer be disturbed by an am
hitious usurper, who, if permitted to go on
unchecked, will certainly plunge us again
in war;. The salvation of the South depends
on the conviction of Andrew johnson. If
guilty, let the Senate say so, and the good
work of restoring the government to loyal
hands will at once be done. a.. atHi1 --

The Removal of Disabilities.

As a complete and triumphant refqtation
of the falsehoods of the Registsr and other
rebel sheets in relation to the political disa-
bility of Gov. Holden, attention is invited
to the letter of the Congressional Executive
Committee, in the STANDARD to-day, signed
by Mr. Schenck and Mr.. 1uIlock This let
ter was entirely unsolicited, but was consid-
cred proper at this time in view of the ex-
traordinary and not very scrupnlous course
of Mr.. Goodloe and Mr.. Helper towards
Gov. Holden and the Republican party of
the State. lu. jazz. st4 sgilFa. &C.
We now state, on the best authority, that
all good Republicans iaboring under politi-
Cal disabilities, who may have been nominal
ted by the Republican party and duly elect
ed to office, and who have thereby given
proof, first, that they have earnestly advo-
Gated reconstruction, and secondly, that they
have the confidence of the loyal people, soiA
Je relieued By Congress IN time to allan
them to enter on their duties and that, on
the contrary, those who are opposing re-
construction and the new Constitution aoiLl
not be relie0ed, whether chosen to office OF
not, either nOao or hereafter. We know
what we say to be so. Every vote, there
fore, that may be cast for such persons who
are opposing the new Constitution and
thereby endeavoring to defeat reconstruc-
tion, aoiU be q cote thrown aaoay. emo

Free Speech Threatened in Warren
COuEty.

-
We learn on good authority that the dew
ilish X. Klux Khan have taken full possess
ion of the town of Warrenton. They are
out every night in disguise. hating peacea-
BILE citizens on the streets, showing their
mysterious Inscriptions, digging graves
about town and on the roads. They have
stoned the teacher of the colored school,
throwing a rock through the window while
he was writing at his desk, just missing his
head. They have also threatened to mob
the venerable John Reed, the Collector for
this District and member of the Constitu-
tional Convention. T.'I..t- sf
These facts have been brought to the at
tention of Col. Bomford, the commander of
this post, and we may expect soon to hear
of troops being sent to Warrenton We call
on our friends there to stand firm. Let
{ them attend the election in full force
and woe to any Rebel who shall dare
to put his. hands in anger on even the
smallest of Republicans in that County
There may be murders and assassinations,
but the murderers and assassins will be fol-
lowed up, and caught, and punished, if it
should require five years to do it, and a
whole brigade Of United States troops. r

Relief for the People.

We have heard much talk lately about re-
lief for the people All the sufferngs and
Gistresses of all kinds that have come upon
us during the last seven years have been
been caused by secession rule. The Union
men have tried in vain thus far to relieve the
people, for these same secessionists have
stood constantly in the way and prevented
them from giving relief. They have at
length succeeded in making Constitution
which contains, first, Equal Rights for al.
Secondly, provision that the poll tax shall
never go beyond So, nor beyond that in the
same proportion on land. Thirdly, home
stead, of the value of one thousand dollars
and five hundred dollars in personal proper
ty going back against all debts, old and
new. Fourthly, a lien to mechanics and 9TH
ers on their work until their wages are paid.
Filthy, a provision that debts shall be so
postponed as to give every honest man
chance to pay If these measures, coupled
with the immediate return of the State to
the Union, will not relieve the people, what
would relieve them Will they gain any
thing by rejecting all these measures for re-
lief, and still staying out of the Union9
Money is scarce and times are hard. This
is owing largely to the unsettled state of
the country and the want of confidence be-
tween man and man. There are millions of
dollars in this State boarded up on account
of the uncertainty of the future There are
millions upon millions in the Northern
States awaiting investment here as soon
as the State is restored to the Union. All
this money will go into circulation as soon
as we can get q permanent civil govern
ment; and this government we can get in
no other way than by ratifying the new
Constitution , -.tlH Dr.. .4
Relief men and those of you who want
relief and who are longing for better
times, bear these things in mind and vote
accordingly. ...... ..r.. ..-..l

A Mob of Rebels in IredeIl Courthouse
--Mr. Cowles denied free speech in
10 700

D SSkdtCStAAC ). r. .l D.
We learn that Hon. Calvin ]. Cowles, the
Republican candidate for Congress in the
9th District, attempted to address the peo-
pie at Statesville, Iredell County, on Satur-
day last, and was interrupted by a number
of Rebels and prevented from speaking.-
The Sheriff interposed in vain to- preserve
order. Mr.. Cowles at length left the Court
house, followed by his friends. .,.i. ,1
3 This is the same village at which, in 1866,
Mr.. Cowles was insulted. He was then a
Union candidate for the Legislature, and
was defeated by fraud, the seat having been
given to his opponent by one majority of a
number of illegal votes. 1iat1F .fa'i
These disorders are the result of fixed
purpose on the part of the Rebel leaders tc
prevent a free election. Troops are needed
in Statesville and in many other localities II
the State. The military authorities will
sec to it that these disorders are repressed
and that the people are allowed to go te
the polls and vote as they wish. ~ 10
We appeal to the Republicans of the 6tl
District to rally en- naasse to the support o
Mr.. Cowles and thus rebuke this Rebel ele
ment which thus denies him free speech.

warn our friends to see to itithat the ri ight
tickets are placed in every case in the right
hands. Let committees be appointed to go
through all the neighborhoods to warn the
people, and let active and fearless men be on
the ground during the three days Of the
election to, see that Republicans get the
right sort of tickets and that justice is done
to the true and loyal We have sown and
cultivated the crop, and let US reap the har
vest. We must not let the enemy come and
steal away the fruits of our labors. siIsi

Cheering News {!

We continue to receive the most cheering
news from all parts of the State. Never
before, in the history of the State, has
any party worked so industriously or SO
desperately as the old secession party, head
ed by Graham, Bragg, Ashc, and Vance,
They know it is their last chance for place
and power; that if defeated now they will
sink at once into oblivion, and new men will
take their places as the chosen servants of the
people. They are animated by pride, revenge,
and the lust for power, and they are NOV
ing every thing to defeat the new Constitu-
ton. But they are being met at every point.
Contending as they are under many disad-
vantages, the whole power of the rebel State
Government being against them, with its
thousands of disloyal officials, the Republi-
cans are acquitting themselves gloriously.
From the seaboard to the mountains their
speakers are in the field, documents are be-
ing circulated, and the officers and members
of the Leagues and Heroes, whose name is
legion, are lncessantly engaged day and
night in every neighborhood. We are fully
posted from all parts of the State, and we
anticipate the best results. The mons
trous falsehoods circulated against the
new Constitution by the rebel leaders are
being thoroughly exposed, and as fast as
they are exposed, and the people see
the truth as it is, there is a revulsion
against these leaders, who lave so often de-
ceived the honest and unsuspccting, which
is adding strength to the Republican party.
The truth travels slowly, but nearly every
voter will hear it for himself before he votes.
All we ask is fair and free election
But for the fact that the registration books
and the ballot boxes will be for the, most
| part in the hands of loyal men, and but for
the salutary fear of the strong arm Of a just
| government, which is determined to protect
the people in their right of suffrage, there
would hardly be the shadow of tair elec-
ton. As it is, we look for fraud, intimida-
ton, and violence of all kinds. The Repub-
licans will offer violence to none, but they
are determined not to submit to it.
They feel that their liberties and their very
lives will be in peril in case of their defeat
at the polls, and they will act accordingly.
They are not to be driven or kept from the
polls. They aciU cote. Still, some of them
will be deprived of their right of suffrage
and this will diminish, to some extent, the
overwhelming vote by which we expected to
carry the State. But happen what may, the
State will go Republican by large majority
With any thing like free election it could
not we'll be otherwise. Let our friends at q
distance, both in and out of the State, bt
assured that all will be well in North Caro-
lima. The ne,o Constitution aoiU be ratified
the Republican State ticket aciU 6s elected, aild
soe shall carry the Legislature by taoo-thi'fls o,
joint ballot Mark the prediction.

Read the interesting and prophetic letter
of Mr. Starbuck in the Standard to-day,
written to Mr. Gilmer in March. 1865. Mr..
Starbuek belonged during the whole rebel
lion to that large and patriotic body of citi-
zens who were constantly calling for peace,
and who struggled from July, 1868, as soon
as they could get hearing, for a State Con-
vention, in order to treat for peace without
regard to the Richmond government, and
thus restore the State to the Union. But
they were defeated in this purpose by such
public men as Vance, Graham and Bragg,
and thus the war was prolonged and untold
miseries heaped on our people. Shall we
go with such men as Starbuck now ?-Or
shall We follow Vance, Bragg and Graham
to still further ruin9 ry Ill.

10 Turner in MOntgOmery---Make q
Rebel Speech---Breaks his ssTickler''
and Spills his Liquor! @ a
A friend writes us as follows from Mont
gomery County: .s1 a.g Jit hs.r p T.
During the day one Josiah Turner came
in among us and attempted to enlighten the
citizens of old Montgomery in opposition to
the new Constitution, which he did by mis-
representing it, in incoherent strains, in
every particular, greatly to the amusement
OF the honest yeomanry of the County, who
fully understand the instrument without any
comments from Josiah. This is the man, we
understand, who voled in the Rebel Con-
gress for the conscript law, the tithing law,
and the twenty negro law-the latter to
screen his rich friends from fighting while
the said Josiah put the poor white boys in
to fight for his negroes. The weather being
rainy and damp, and Mr.. Turner being mind
full of his health, had imbibed rather freely !;
and in taking his seat in the Court house lie
broke his tickler containing his whisky, in
his breechcs pocket, and the whisky ran
down his legs on the floor, to the great
amusement of the people. Josiah dried
himself, shook the dust off his feet, and left
old Montgomery swearing he was no DEMO-
crat. Then that noble old wheelhorse of Re-
publicanism, Gen. Dockery, rose and made
one of the most effective speeches have yet
heard. The meeting adjourned with three
cheers for the Union and the new Consti-
tuition" '"' A. f""H Z iaq

The Sentinel and Col. Deweese.

The Sentinel has gone into conniptioas over
the appointment of Col. John T. Deweese as
Provost Judge by Gen, Candy. That paper
wonders who recommended Col Deweese for
this appointment The reply is, he needed
no recommendation. Gen. Candy saw the
necessity for such Court, on account of the
rebelious spirit of such as the Sentinel; and
knowing Col. Deweese well, and being sat
isfied as to his peculiar fitness for the place,
he appointed him. That is all. tsl
, Col. Dcweese is now ready for business.
While he is thoroughly loyal and rdevotedly
attached to the Government, and will make
offenders feel the full force of the law, yet he
is known to be a just man, not actuated by
malice or revenge. We can promise the
Editors of the Sentinel fair trial if they
should be brought before Col. Deweese for
sedition or resistance of any kind to the laws
of the United States. Hl- irH i
There is no danger of the Senior Editor Of
that paper being convicted on any charge of
piety. l's1t
The white men are thoroughly organ
ized, and, amongst other things, have ap-
