sour friends in the various Counties of

r. G.. Badger, Secretary of the State Con-
sentative Executive Committee, the names
of all gentlemen in the State elected to
office, legislative or local, in the recent cleo

known as the Howard amendment, or who
are otherwise under disabilities. 1t is also
requested that the reasons of their disabili-

attention to this matter is most desirable"
In the first place, two-thirds of the Con-
gress will not, in any event, relieve such
characters as are requested to send in their
names to Mr.. Badger; and in the second
place, if they should, by possibility, lie re-
leved and elected to office, they will be re-
quired, before they enter on their duties, to
take an oath to support the Constitution
and laws of the United States" These laos

to swear to support negro, or manhood suf-

they are not to be trusted, and they will not
be trusted with Office of any kind. Their

Owing to the losses occasioned by the re-
bellon, to the short grain crops of last year,
and the discharge ofmany laborers from en-
ployment for voting the Republican ticket,
there is at present much restitution in this
State. Many poor persons are suffering for
bread and thousands of small farmers are
hndlns it difficult, if not impossible to mike
their crops, on account of the want Of prov
ender tortheir horses, to say nothing of meat
and bread for their families. The distress is
Zeal, and must increase for the next four
weeks. When the wheat is gathered some
relief will be felt, but there are many who
have no wheat to gather, and who will real
lze but little if any benefit from this source.
We know that Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the
Assistant Commissioner OF the Bureau for
this State, has been and is now doing every
thing III his power to relieve this distress
But his means are limited. 1t is impossible
tor the Bureau to give any thing like per-
manent relief. Its main care is the sick and
the lnhrm, and there are many cases of this
kind which it can not reach, or rather that
can not reach it to appeal for help. e..
time since by some benevolent citizens of
Boston in the hands of Gen. Miles, Col.
Pulliam and Gov. Holden, to be expended
for the poor of the State, is well nigh, if not
quite exhausted. We have reason to believe
that this fund has been jutliciously expen-
ded, and has relieved much suffering. See
ing the restitution that exists, and being
anxious to relieve it as far as possible, these
gentlemen have induced Judge A. w. Tour
gee and Mr.. James H. Harris to proceed to
Boston and other Northern Cities, and make
an effort to raise additional funds for the
poor. They will he aided by the Rev. S. S.
Ashley, who is on visit to the North, and
has kindly consented to unite with them in
this benevolent work. We are not without
hope that these gentlemen will be able to
raise an amount that will carry succor and
Joy to many an humble suffering household
We appeal to onr fellow citizens of the North
to contribute of their abundance to this OBJ
ject, which should touch the heart of every
Christian philanthropist
of one case of actual starvation in Wake
County We hear also that in one neigh
borhood, in Wake, about six miles from Ra-
leigh, there are not enough provisions to
supply even one family for day. Some of
the mills do not get enough toll to support
the milers We hear also that some of the
physicians state that in cases which they
treat no relief can be administered, for the
reason that the patients have heen so starved
that they can not recover, especially depriv-
ed as they are of any thing like nourishing
food.
This suffering is common to both white
and black. What is to be done? We pro-
pose hat persons of some means unite at
once to buy corn, and loan and give it, as the
case may he, to relieve this terrible distress.
If the Legislature were in session, the writer
of this would not hesitate to recommend
prompt and effective measures, by taxation
and otherwise, to relieve the perishing in all
parts of the State.

The number of schools now under charge

having been discontinued) is twenty three,

The Committee on Instruction have intro
dueed a system by which the payment OF 5
cents per week is required for each scholar
in attendance at day or evening school.
The profcssed inability of the Freed people
to assume even so small a tax and the natu-
raj reluctance of the teachers to enforce its
payment rendered the first establishment of
this system difficult, but it is now very gen
orally adopted, (at Newborn and Warwick
Va. the Freedmen pay the board of the
teacher as an equivaent) The amount re-
ceivcd from this source up to the present
time, $637,75 The FreedmeR's Bureau have
refunded to us $500, as an equivalent for
rent of the various properties held by the

THE UNRECoNsTRUcTED STATEs.-The
Southern States which have not yet held
elections on the ratification of the new Con-
stitutions under the reconstruction laws, are
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. Virginia
completed her Constitution, and her Con-
vention adjourned on Friday night, April
II. The election for its ratification has not
yet been ordered.
In Mississippi, the Convention is still in
session, and the Constitution not yet COM
pleted.
Texas is far behind in the work of recon-
struction Her election for Convention
has been held, resulting favorably, and Gen
eral Buchanan has issued an order fixing the
first of June as the time tor the meeting OF
that body. The work of framing Consti
tuition will probably consume two or three
months, so that the election for its rati1ca-
ton can hardly take place until some time
in the fall.
