lamities, twill be as well tor each member of
societyto take care of his or her health, and

The end comes prematurely to all who neglect

The Omnibus Bill as it is called, to admit
all the Southern States to representation
with the exception of Virginia and Texas,
was under discussion in the Senate last
. week, having passed the House, and it was
expected that the final vote would be taken
Yesterday. The discussion in the Senate was
mainly as to whether Alabama should be in
Guided that State not having cast for her
Constitution, as was then required, major
ity of her registered vote.
Texas and Virginia are not yet ready, and
therefore net included in the bill.
Tried by any test North Carolina is en-
titled to admission. First, she has the best
Constitution of any of the States. Second,
she has preserved her colored vote unit for
the nation, and she has cast for her Consti
tuition a larger white vote than any other
State. Third, she has given for her Consti
tuition and for her Republican State ticket
majority of her registered vote. These
facts are understood and appreciated by
our friends in Congress, and our State, if it
had been deemed proper to separate her
from the others, would have been admitted
ere this.
There will be no difficulty in inaugurating
the new State government, after the bill
shall have passed the Congress and become
a law. Persons chosen to office who are
banned, and who supported the reconstruc-
ton acts in good faith, will be relieved of
their disabilities and enter on their duties.
Persons chosen to office who are banned, and
who did not support those acts, but, on the
contrary, abored to defeat them, and thus
to perpetuate strife and disunion, can not
expect to be relieved Some mode will be
adopted in due time to fill vacancies thus
occasioned.
The fundamental condition, proposed to
be imposed on Arkansas, will be disposed of
by the committee of conference of the two
Houses by the time the Omnibus Bill is final
ly acted on, and there will, therefore, be no
delay on that account If this condition be
adopted it will be applied to all the States,
but if it should fail it will not be applied to
any. The States will 60 in on the same
footing. ..... ...
If the bill should be perfected by the two
Houses and go to the President by the 18th,
and if he should retain it ten days. that
would mark the 22d as the day from which
the ten days would begin to run, at the end
of which the State officers are to he inaugur-
ated. 1t is, therefore, quite probable that
the new State government will be Inaugural
ted on the 4th day of July. .....

The people are still suffering in this and
other Southern States for lack of food. The
effects of the war remain with us still and,
as in all ages, the poor and innocent suffer
more than the wealthy and vicious, who pre-
cipitated the war. Yet justice will be
done. We have an abiding faith that in
the end all things will he well. The Sc
we're lessons of economy taught Ivy poverty
and famine, are working in the minds of the
poor and weak a revolution of feeling
AGAINST those who have SO often deceived
and oppressed them Out of the depths
North Carolina will come more loyal in
heart and more independent in mental and
material resources
1t is true that the war was the primary
cause of the suffering. But after the war
was ended, those evil leaders who fought it
to the hitter end, continued to retard and
impede the restoration of good government,
sowed the seeds Of discord, and the poor
are now reaping the harvest of poverty and
want. 1t is enough to make those starving
thousands rise up and invoke Divine wrath
upon the heads of their betrayers.
And to add further to the misery, since the
late election employers have actually resort
ed to system of slow starvation,-a kind of
torture for political purposes unprecedented
in the history of the world. That in Amer
lea, where all men owe allegiance to gov
eminent which tolefates freedom of thought,
where education is general and churches are
to he found in every village, that one portion
ofthe people should thus be oppressed and
starved by the other. while all look on with
cold eyes and few with pity, is astonishing
and humiliating The enormity ofthe crime
is not fully appreciated. This nation will
have to pay the debt of suffering by other
pangs as piercing and keen, when the wick
ed instruments of this woe will be powder
ed by the iron hand of God-but now, men
go ON and starve and Cypress their fellow
beings for base purposes, and no one is found
to raise his hand to protect the defenceless.-
Yet vengeance is with the Lord
Let us have no more talk of Spanish In.
QUESTIONS, retailed by Protestant priests, or
of Cromwell in Ireland related by Catho
lies, or of Puritan prosecutions told by
rebels, or of any of the ancient horrors,
while the story of this modern persecution
remains untold. Here in North Carolina,
men who have held high positions, who
preach and instruct, and who aforetime have
led the people, who belong to the Church of
Christ, and in all outward sembances are
Christians-here, in country and city, these
men have commenced a crusade against the
life of the poor, withholding work, money
and food, thus evoking famine with all the
dread diseases of the body and the pangs of
soul which follow in its path. The state
ment seems incredible! But innumerable
tongues have related the story in the ears of
God and man. 1t is undeniable. 1t is I'M
ustakable. 1t is a grand. stupenduous
monument of crime and tyranny, reared in
the sight of all. May He, who holds the
lightnings, shiver its polluted column to
the lowest foundation.
