| -----A Hairs i'm North Carolina -
Daniel r. Goodloc, an earnest and lifelong
emancipalionist,, and who has returned to his
native State, North Carolina, and ia ken an ac-
tive part in bringing it back TO the Union, has
addressed lcscr to Mr.. Charles Sumner on
the situation of afflirs in that State. In this
letter be shows up 'fthe management for per!
sonal ends which substituted a more exclusive
test for voters for the new constitution for that
imposed by Congress- He objects to the
sweeping cnlranchisament Of The black race,
| and protests most vigorously against the dis
franchsement of the whites favoring an act Of
general amnesty. In regard to the way in
| which the negroes are manipulated he bears
| the following testimony: ..r G-5
''!Hhe trouble is that they will vote for any
man who makes noisy demonstration O. de-
votion 10 their rights, without the slightest re-,
gard to his past public career or his private
| character and the result Is that they have
| placed the control Of the State and its affairs
| Ia the hands Of men who rose 70 emlnencc or
notoliety as the champions OF slavery and Sc
cession, or 10 wealth Us dealers in slaves. l
regret to say, also, that they elected quite a
| number of their own race to the late conrcn-
ton, and again to the Legislature, most OF
| whom could not stand en- examination before q
Massachusetts, committee empowered to ascer
tain the educational qualification Of voters.
| Men have been elected as Judges OF the Circuit
| Court who obtained their licenses to practice
| law within six months past. Doe OF the judges"
| is said never to have been licensed as lawyer,
and Others on account of character and quail
| flea would be regarded as presumptuous
il they should aspire to the office of justice of
| community Still others; Of both races have
been elected to Office who have been either con-
vlcted of or indicted for murder and other in
famous crimes The number of felonious aspi-
rants for office, with their success and failure,
| would form curious statistical inquiry. The
vindictiVc partisan may exalaim that the rule
of such men will be good enough for rebels
but the statesman, whose reputation tor all
time will rest upon the wisdom and success Of
his measures, must act on more generous prln-
cipies if he would have his name held in honor
by future generations.
Nothing which the farmer produces is of
quicker sale than eggs and poultry. The pri-
ces which he receives therefor axe in the main
remunerative; the labor incurred is light and
agreeable, and can be performed by the junior
duces food which Is highly palatabe and nutri-
tious at all seasons and in this respect is hardly
equalled by any other department of the farm.
Is it not worth while, then, to bestow more
care and skill in managing the poultry?
Chief Justice Chase, and Senators Fessen-.
den Trumbul, Grimes, Henderson and FoW-
Ter, are the most retlled men, at this present
time" in the whole country. They are abused,
traduced, and denounced One is the Judge
who presides in Court, the others are jurors
trying case The cause Of the outrageous,
unprincipled, and vilainous course pursued
towards them, is that the Judge has presided
mpartialy, and the jurors will not perjure
themselves bya verdict against their consc-
ences. .,,.,.yrT5 i
The accounts from Washington, to-day, do
not indicate any material change in the views
and claims of parties. The advocates of im-
parchment are not quite so confident of there
moval of the President. whilst their opponents
are about as firm now as at any time previous
that the verdict will be acquittal. ri H3LHyI
Some weeks ago Mr. Thaddeus Stevens,
called upon somebody, or anybody, ito show
him the recreant Senator" who wouldn't stand
up to impeachment, Sc de has beer, answered
by several Of the ablest mem bers of the Senate!

~ A CARD.-As had hoped in my late
card to have passed from tho political arena,
without comment it seems to bethe pleasure
of the newspapers to keep me before tho peo-
