none seriously. The excitement is in.

O.. white lady down, in the public
streets, injuring her severely. This
added to the excitement prevailing,
and fears were entertained of gene
raj riot. Several shots were fired at
the freedman, but he escaped with
slight flesh wound. The negro was
arrested by the military. who charged
through the streets, dispensing the

Boutwell, concluded his remarks in
the impeachment court. Nelson, of
Tennessee, spoke ectempore; alluded
to the magnitude of the occasion;
feared lack of ability to properly
treat it. The managers charged Mr..
johnson with evil nature and wicked
ness; characterized him as destitute
of character; accused him of every
thing from great political criminal
to common scold. Nelson gave
the Presidents biography and the
refutation of these charges and asper-
sions. Those who, like Nelson, knew
the President best, sustained the
President. Nelson felt he was not
addressing Senators as politicians,
but as judges, who would rise above
prejudice or party, and was confident
outside pressure would be Indignant
ly repelled. If he believed convic-
tion n foregone conclusion, humble
as he was, he would scorn to address
them. Nelson cited tho resolutions
offered by johnson, and adopted by
Congress, immediately after the Bull
Run disaster, declaring the purposes
of the war still unrepealcd. TO these
resoA tions johnson was faithful
Lincoln's policy, after Lees surren-
der, was based on the resolutions,
which Johnson faithfully carried out.
Congress claimed powers in the Re-
construction Acts by implication;
the Presidents powers were plainly
implied. The President had right
to his own opinion. Honesty and
integrity of motive must be presum-
ed in such case. He denounced as
grossly improper, the managers plea
that the people demanded conviction,
and that the public pulse beat fitfully
while they declared it.

The soft and wooing tones in which the
Raleigh Standard invites the people of
North Carolina to the negro collar on their
RADICALISM AND RASCALITY,
The invitation Of the black spider to the
white fly, is accompanied by certain habits,
the most attractive of which is the home
stead provision placed like a lump of sugar
In the constitutional web.
The mongrel party has somewhat abated
its tone, and the negro, taking his cue from
the result of certain elections at the North,
has changed his demand for CONFISCA-
TION into the pleasant pastime of FLY
LOO.
There is another change in the tone of
the negroes which is no less remarkable,
and that is their new born solicitude for
the interest of poor ,cAite folks and msecha1a-
les.
There is something peculiarly seductive
IN the patrOnizing tone In which they per-
nit white man who has no money and
has to work for his living, to keep COM
pany with them.
This is what we call pretty general in
vitation, since it would include most of US.
It shows also that the negro has advanced
in the Christian virtue of humiliation since
DAUGHTERS OF THE POOR WHITE
FOLKS should be on the same social level
as the sable sons of Pompey and Caesar.
They can now actually go to the same
school. and sit cheek by jowl at the same
desk, and stand up lovingly together in the
same class.
We do not know how many white
father in North Carolina would be anxious
to give to his daughters the benefit of this
privilege, but we can answer for the white
mothers.
There IS not q acAue mother IN The State aCh0
ac0ud not prefer to see her girls enveloped IN
their shrOu0S.
We take it that very few sensible flies
will light upon the Homestead sugar lump,
for they can easily perceive that when it
has been used to secure their votes to rati-
fly the Constitution the negro party can
easily go back to their old programme and
substitute confscation for .17y-l0o.
Confscation to the land-holders will come
in the form of taxation.
That's the game of the black spider.

AEl Old Picture RC-PrOdEced,

Gibbon, in his Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire, after accounting the causes
which led to the destruction of that mighty
nation, says :
The Senate, once the most grave, and
stern, and just assembly that the world had
ever seen, was now timid, faithless and
licentious oigarchy while-name whilom
SO majestical and mighty!-the people
the great Roman people-was but mob,
vile colluvium Of Africans, Greeks, bar
barians, enfranchised slaves, Syrians, ibe
rated gladiators, made worse because their
af1inities were not natural and their ma
tional Legislators were personally corrupt
and politically dishonest"
It required more than thousand years
to bring the great Roman nation to the
dust. Shall our natiOn-SO recently so
dear to its citizens who prided themselves
justly in being Americans, so hlgh-toned
and majestic III the presence of the govern
ments of the world, and so grand and ire
sistible in power-perish from the face of
the earth III less than a century? The pic
ture which the historian gives Of the Roman
Legislature is justly applicable to ours
Where out of the membership of its ruling
party can there be found men more per-
sOnally corrupt more politically dishon-
est And the &C barbarians, the
* enfranchised slaves" the worst ele-
ments OF the Roman population, are
here too. Upon this class Of the
! population, q class so IMMERSED in the les
sons Of freedom, accustomed to being gov
erned in all the affairs of their lives, and
unable from their very nature to learn the
| lessons OF self, government, the Radical
Congress are striving by all the means
which their position affords to them-nOt
hesitating to adopt the most unholy, when
necessary bestow the privilege OF suf-
frage, for the purpose of placing in their
bands the balance of power. And this will
| Congress-s0- calied--dO that they may re-
tain the government of this country in their
own hands, although in doing it they place
the enlightened white maj ority under the
control of the ignorant and degraded ne

Americans, shall this transparent design
succeed Shall intelligence be governed
by ignorance Shall civilization yield to
barbarism ? Shall the vilest and most bru-
tai passions rule, instead of the puress pa
triotism and the highest political wisdom
guiding the destinios Of our nation The
issue is in your hands and that issue is
one which involves all things-enlighten
ment and degradation, salvation and de-
struction, life and death-yes, even-par'

Allow me 10 cali the attention of vegetable
raisers to the following facts, which are
important to them. The time is now at
hand for our early peas to begin to seek a
northern market. We expect to send for
ward many barrels next week. Allow me
to call your attention to the necessity OF
putting them, as well as other vegetables,
in old flour barrels, well ventilated by
boring holes in the sides of the barrels
the larger the number Of holes the better.
Pick the peas in the cool of the day, as
there is much danger of their heating if
packed up hot, and send them by early
mail train.
Have them at the station half an hour
before the train is due-deliver to the agent
and take his receipt.
See that the barrels are distinctly marked
with destination and name Of consignee.
The best substitute for the upper head
to the barrel is piece Of common white
homespun, laid over the top, with hoop
driven over it and fastened with small
nails
The passenger train, leaving Wilmington
at ) o'clock A. NJ, and arriving at Weldon
at 80 ?. NJ, will take vegetables and put
them in Baltimore at A. M. next day, or
in Philadelphia at 9 A. NJ. next day.
Freight to Baltimore from any point on
this road will be one dollar per barrel, and
to Philadelphia $l.2O per barrel.
Take through receipt to destination, and

arrangement with the agent.

the Radicals. In Bergen the Democrats

Of six, Hudson City gives one thousand
majority, a gain of over four hundred. In
Hoboken the Democratic ticket was also
elected by five hundred majority, heavy
gain. In Union, New Jersey, Demo

was also the case in Morris county. The
Democrats made clean sweep in Harrison
