The latest news from Washington City is
10 the effect that if Senator SH4R,rAS's bill
Tor the admission of Alabama passes it will
not do SO l'y strict party vote. Several
Kadleal Senators are outspoken in opposi-
ton to the proposed Jaw, and General But
LEE says he will oppose the bill if il shall
ever reach the House.
Evidently the result in Alabama was On
unexpected that it has thrown the Radicals
INTO confusion and alarm The Central
Committee had freely expended enormous
amounts OF money ut the call of thei,
agents IN that State to carry this initiatorv
election in the grand Congressional scheme
OF Reconstruction, and the assurance HAD
been confidently given by those who re-
celved the money and uSed ii, that the Con.

Public Speaking in Onslow

At the request of the citizens OF TIE
county, Col. e. D. HALL, OF this city, a
member of the State Conservative Execu-
tive Committee, viii address the people Of
Onslow, at Jacksonville, on Tuesday,
March 3D.; Swansboro, Thursday, March
5th, and Richlands Saturday, March 18th.
Col. HALL is a fine speaker, and will
doubtless do much good for the cause Of
Conservatism in Onslow. We hope this
example will be followed by other gentle
men throughout the State. If our leading
men will exert themselves there will be a
grand rally of the white men throughout
the length and breadth of North Carolina.

Miscegenatton.

We direct attention to that portion of
the proceedings of the Convention, social
ed, published elsewhere, in which Mr..
DURHAM proposed an additional clause to
the Bill of Rights, prohibiting intermar-
riage between the white and black races.
It will be seen that he could not even get
vote upon it, but through the ignorance
Or knavery of the President, it was flibus-
tered on the table. White men we're too
afraid of their party to vote for the propo-
lingering in their breasts made them I'M
willing to place upon " de archives of gray
ity " their opposition to it. The subter-
fuge will avail them nothing. Like Nessus'
shirt, the iniquities of negro equality will
stick to them, and these men will yet be
compelled to seek the companionship of
negroes, being avoided by all respectable
white men.
This action of the Convention, III connec-
ton with the refusal to permit Mr.. DAVID
MACRAE the use of the Hall of the
House Of Commons, to read for the
benefit of the poor of Raleigh, because the
Young Mems Christian Association, under
whose auspices he was acting, would not
permit the indiscriminate association of
whites and blacks, in which movement
General ABBOTT signifed his devotion to
the negroes, whose representative he un-
doubtedly is, calls for the earnest consider
alton OF our people How far will this IA
natlcism go? Whittier does it lead p
Where must be it's end ? In the name of
| high Heaven, are these men mad ? or do
they act from the impulses of wicked hearts
and ignoble natures
White men of North Carolina we be-
seech you to heed these things and be
warned in time. Every right which we
value; every association which we hold
sacred, appeals to US for succor. Upon our
efforts rest the hopes of future prosperity
and peace; in our defeat comes poiticalruin
and social and moral corruption.

AHEFsTtD FOR MURDER.-Upon cdpids issued
from the proper authority III OnslOw county, and
directed 10 the Sheriff Of this county, Thomas E.
King Esq one of the Sheriff's Deputies, on Tues
day last, made the arrest of white named
VIM. F. Riggs, charged with the murder of Mrs.
Peggy Batting, who is said to have been the
mother-n-law of Riggs. The arrest was made on
Topsai sound about sixteen miles from this city
where Riggs resided. We have been unable to
gain any definite particulars of the fact, but far
az we can learn the following is the state of the
case The murder is alleged to have been COM
mitted in Onslow county, near the border of New
Hanover, where Riggs and his family resided,
about the first year OF the war; Riggs states that
soon after the death Of the old woman he was
arrested and the case investigated before Magis-
trae After the investigation he was committed
to the Jail of Onsiow county where he remained
some three months. At the expiration of this
period, he says he released to go in the army,
and volunteered in a regiment organized about
that time. Since the war be has been living in
this county and Onslow
He is now confined i'll the Jail in this city, where
he will be held until such time as the authorities
of Onslow shall request his body. His trial will
probably take place at the first Court held for On
slow county.

To the Honorable the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentdtiUes Of the United States IN Congress cs-
senobledI: The a1hie people Of Alabama send UiS
Meir humble petition.
We beseech your honorable bodies to
withdraw yourselves from the influence of
the passions and contests OF the hour, and
contemplate for a brief period our miser-
able condition, and the yet more wretched
state which is already prepared for US
Surely it is only such influences that have
prevented you from bestowing upon US q
single ray of beneticient regard.
According to the last census taken by
the federal government, the white people
of Alabama largely outnumbered the negro
or colored population. And we think we
arrogate nothing which your honorable
bodies will not condede to us, when we say
that nearly all the education, intelligence,
and civilization of the State are found in
our race. But poverty prevails throughout
the land We are beset by secret oath
bound political societies : Our character
and conduct are Systematically misrepre-
scented and mahgned to you and in the
newspapers of the North The intelligent
and impartial administration of just laws
is obstructed Industry and enterprise are
paralyzed by the fears of the white men
and the expectations of the black, that Ala
bama will soon be delivered over to the rule
of the latter and many of our best people
are, for these reasons, leaving the homes
they love. for other and strange lands.
Before the late unhappy war the white
people of the South contributed their whole
just proportion of the great and good men
whose acts and characters constituted the
chief renown of the republic. Those of us
who endeavored to withdraw the South
from it's partnership therein, did not do so
in order to make war upon the Northern
States or their institutions, but for the pur-
ing another, not unfriendly, independent
confederacy, in which, under almost iden-
teal constitutions, We might be more free
from diseord. And however criminal, in
your opinion, we may in this have been,
yet neither our sins nor our sufferings have
reduced us to uncivilized barbarians.
On the other hand, it is well known to
