Now that political reconstruction has been
accomplished, there comes before us the
grand questions of domestic industry, inter
nal Improvement and all the interests of f.
nanclal and commercial prosperity 1t may
be that the hands which grapple these prob
lens are somewhat unskilled, but there are
clear heads and brave hearts behind them.
Laws securing to all men the exercise OF
equal rights, establishing a generous system
OF public education, giving to labor protec-
ton and tn capital security, and shielding life
and liberty, are to be planned and perfected :;
and thus under the Providence of Almighty
God, such liberal code both formed and
framed, as will do honor in its degree, as
the Constitution does honor, to the wis
dom and patriotism of the loyal people of
North Carolina.
This legislation will be as important as it
will be onerous. All Improvements must
encounter opposition, for the advocates of
former systems seek refuge in appeals to
prejudice against the dictates of wisdom,
and are as unreasonable rs they are obsti-
nate. But we go forth conquering and to
conquer. We embark upon ship, whose
hold contains our treasures. We know who
laid its keel, who drove the last nail and
caulked the last crevice in its hulk, who I'M
'furled the flag from its mast head, who
mans its guns and he who stands at the helm
Knowing these things, we shall encounter
storms without fear, and prosperity without
elation. There are smooth seas beyond the
reefs, but from calm we only ride into the
darkness of the storm.
Nevertheless, it is the duty of every man,
in the promotion of the public welfare, to
merge politics into patriotism, whenever
they have descended below that scale, aud
to forget benefits or harm to individuals,
when the good of the whole demands action
upon any measure. Such arc the fruits of
enlightened craftsmanship, that those who
meet on the political arena as anniversaries,
advocating opposing interests, in other
things may agree, without unworthy con-
cessions, to sustain the general welfare and
promote the common prosperity. This
disposition has been manifested on various
occasions in the past, and we trust will not
be wanting in the future

THE UNRECoNsTRUcTED STATEs.-The
Southern States which have not yet held
elections on the ratification of the new con-
situations, under the reconstruction laws, arc
Virginia. Mississippi, and Texas. Virginia
completed her constitution, and her c0nven-
ton adjourned on Friday night, April IL
The election for its ratification has not yet
been ordered.
In Mississippi the constitution has been
completed, and was signed by the members
of the convention on the 18th of May. On the
18th of May. in the Constitutional Conven
ton, an ordinance was passed designating
June % for the election for ratifying t.Ie
constitution. Major Gillem has ap-
proved the ordinance, and the election will
consequently take place on the day designa
ted by the convention.
Texas is very far behind in the work OF
reconstruction. Her election for conveii-
ton has been held, resulting favorably, and
General Buchanan has issued an order fixing
the first of June as the time for the first OF
June as the time for the meeting of that
body. The Constitutional Convention ac-
cordingly met on the list of June, at Austin,
and is now in session for the purpose of
framing new constitution, which will
probably consume two or three months, so
that the election for its ratification can hard
ly take place until some time in the fall.

Will some republican newspaper
Of reputable standing and influence
answer the following questions !?
Is not the party in power COM
mitted to the passage Of q funding
bill, pledging the government to the
payment Of the fvc-twenty bonds
in coin?
Does the party expect to reach
pecie-payment without contrac-
ton Of the currency If SO, bow !?
If not, when will contraction COM
mence
Is it the purpose of the party in
power to Withdraw the treasury
notes, or the circulation of the ma
tional banks?
If the treasury-notcs arc to be
withdrawn. what reason can be Civ
en- for their retirement in preference
to the bank-notes? The govern
ment pays no interest on the former,
and on the latter it is paying about
$40, 100000 yearly.
In reply to the above questions.
We may be told that Tiers is no in
tention among the republicans to
contract the currency. This will
be evasion, and it will be untrue.
There is such an intention. and it is
among the very classes of men who
control the financial legislation Of
congress. The republican western
doughfaccs in that body will vote
on this question As New England

speela, Dispatch to N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Washington, Nov. 1O-Since the
arrival of General Grant in this city
the question of repeating in his fa-
vor the laws of Congress limiting the
authority Of the President has been
/ freely discussed.
It is announced that these laws were
enacted to restrain Mr.. johnson
from interfering with the recon-
struction policy Of Congress. and
that there is no occasion for their
continuance under . President who
is in harmony with the majority in
Congress.
A number Of leading Republicans
are opposed to repeal Of these laws
and advocate the assertion of q per-
manent controlling influence by Con-
gress over the Executive.
As it is known, however, that the
Democrats intend to introduce q
bill for tho restoration Of the full
privileges Of the Presidency to Gen
Grant, it is thought that the Re-
publi,ans will anticipate them, and
that an act will be passed at the
commencement Of the December
session, to take effect from the 4th
of March next. which will give the
new President the full privileges Of
bis Office.
The efficc-holders will, Of course,
be in favor Of the existing condition
of affairs. But the outs are in .
decided majority, and as most Con-
gressmen would desire to conciliate
the rising power, in view Of the i'm
mensc number of Offices to be filed,
there is little doubt that the act
will 60 through Congress with a
large vote. @.

young children, secreted pistol
beneath his pillow, and after his
wife bad come to bed. put the mus-
Sic Of the pistol at her back. shoot
ing her through the heart, the ball
lodging near the nipple. He
then shot himself. the ball taking
effect near the navel with : down.
ward tendency, lodging in the groin.
He fingered until Saturday evening
whe he died, having in the mean
time been removed to the county
Jail. Although in his senses dur
ing tho entire time, no expressed nc
remorse at what he had done. Five
helpless children arc left to the
cold charity Of the world in conse
quence Of this double crime
Mrs Brown was sister
Of Mrs. Joseph Pursell of this
county, with whom two Of tho chill
drcn now are, ana whore the
probably will remain.
It will be remembered that this
same Brown is the man who built the
Sherman house near Hugh Ovens

paint shop. During tho time he
lived there, he Was several times
under arrest for inhumsnly beating
his wife. who was entreated BY
friends not to 60 with him when he

sequel il Is feared by them.
