A MoNsTRous BEARD.-We have been
presented by Mr.. Scott, Chief of Police,
with the photograph Of gentleman now on
visit to this city, whose beard has grown
to the monstrous length Of six feet within
the last seven years We understand he
has tc carry it rolled up under his arm when
walking-otherwise it would trail the
ground. The name Of the individual who
wears this singular appendnge is Andrew
Kcppen. His beard is of II perfectly natu-
raj growth. and from its appearance one
would judge that, if wrapped around his
body, it would afford almost rs good n COW

CoTroN rAx.--rhc bill repeating the tax
on cotton, which the House OF Representa-
;ives passed, and which the Senate has dis
cussed to little purpose during the past
week, was still pending in the latter body
when it adjourned on Friday, 1t is the
pinion Of parties well acquainted with The
merits of the case that the failure Of Con-
grcss to act upon this measure before the
first of the'ncw year will be productive Of
great mischief to the cotton interest, and
that the delay will cause a light crop next
year. Planters arc dcsrous to know pre-.
ciscly what Congress will do before they
make their contracts for the new year. and
numerous letters and petitions, praying for
immediate and decisive action of one kind
or another, have been received by senator's
and members during the past week. Sever
nj senator's had prepared long speeches Oh
the subject while the hill was before tho
House. and it could not be passed until each
senator had unburdened his mind. This is
really the true cause Of tho delay. Phnd-

We regret to see from the Southern pa
pers that great many persons arc emigrat.
ing from portions Of that section on account
Of the disgust which they feel at the hard
and oppressive government, imposed on
them, and the general condition Of things
throughout their respective communities.
If matters are so wretchedly bad that they
cannot possibly live where they have hith-
erto passed their lives. if the curse Of abso-
lutte starvation is upon them and their fami-
lies, of course they arc right to pake their
escape from an in,olcrable situations but
we do hope, for their own sake and the
country's, that they will remain where they
nrc, If it is possible. Whatever Of strength
and influence they possess is sorely needed
in the South, and the time may not be far
off when it will be needed yet more sorely.
Let them, If they can, stand to their critical
posts in the midst of all the evils that arc
upon them and all the perils, that threaten
them. Wo do not believe that there is rs
yet necessity for their surrcndering up
their beautiful and glorious region to ne
groes and worse than negroes.
Dark signs undoubtedly fill the Southern
air, but there is yet hope for that unhappy
section. Nay, there is almost n certainty
TINT time and perhaps II short time may
bring relief. The late vast political revolu
tions hold out brilliant promises of future
infinitely better than the present Let o&r
Southern friends await that future in tho
vigorous and brave discharge Of all their
duties. No matter what the Radicals Of
the country may do or attempt, the Federal
Government in all its departments, is dcs-
tined to pass into tho hands Of the Conscr-
vatvcs, and. when that inevitable destiny
shall be fulfilled, the evil work done by the
Radical party in the South will be undonc
ut all hazards so far as it can be done. Of
course no legislation, however wise and
energetic, will at once avail to rcpair the
wide spread ruin and desolation, but every
thing will yet be placed upon solid basis
OF craftsmanship, aud then prosperity, uni,
versal prosperity, will come in its own good
time. Nothing in the future is more certain
and more cheering than this.

SOuth.CarOlina.

The following extract is from the South
Carolina correspondence OF the Washington
Chronicle. 1t will be seen that Gen. Candy
has taken the malignant rebels in that State
n hand, and has sent troops to protect the
voters. This should be done in this State.
So strong is rebel violence in some sections
that, free election cannot be held, unless
troops are placed within striking distance.
We fear trouble in Caswell County from the
outrages of rebels, and their impudent no.
tifcation of Republicans to leave the coun-
ty:
"The secessionists are practising mercl-
less system of ofproscription against the Union
voters of the upper districts, and General
Candy has just ordered movement of
troops to afford the necessary protection
The Republican canvassers were ON last Sat.
urday driven hy mobs from Chester and Alb
beville districts. The rebel leaders are SOW
ing the dragons teeth, and they may yield n
plentiful crop of armed men. The mills of
the gods grind slowly, but yet they grind; and
if this system of terrorism is any longer per-
sisted in, it will recoil in vengeance upon
the heads of its inventors. Troops of hun
cry and houseless men, women, and children
are now wandering along the roads of this
State, deprived Of labor, food, and shelter
because of : the faith that is in them.'"

Masonry.

The Sentinel of yesterday contains an ar
tlcle entitled "Negro Masonic Lodges" and
desires to know if the Masons of North Car
olina will not be prompt to resent this sim
pudent intrusion" The Sentinel admits
that 1--WE do not belong to the ancient and
honorable fraternity, and therefore know
nothing of its system of government" A
candid admission: and this being the fact,
the Sentinel should have remained silent and
waited for information. IF we have not been
misinformed. Mr.. Pell once had charge of
congregation. Did he think it intrusion"
for a colored man to taste the sacramental
wine9 Did he think it "intrnsion" for the
man or woman with a dark complexion to
profess faith in the GREAT TEACHER, who
declared he was no respector of persons 3
In other words, does the Rev. Mr. Pell be-
lieve that the African has soul tn be saved
or, does he believe with "Ariel" that the
black man is beast. and dies and perishes
like the beast of the field? There is GER
tain passage of Scripture, which says of GER
tain persons that it "were better for mill
stone to be hanged about their necks and
that they be cast into the sea-" The Rev.
Mr.. Pell may recall the remainder of the
passage Like Christianity, Masonry ire
gardcth no man for his condition.
There are Masons of every nation, of
every cline, of every shade of complexion.
The Caucasian, the Indian, the Turk, the
Arabian, the Hindoo, the Mongolian and
the African have for ages met upon the
level" 1t is this broad, Catholic spirit of
Masonry, its humanitarianism, its cosmopol-
itanism, its great fundamental doctrine of
the brotherhood of the human race, and of
the inherent dignity and equality of all men,
that has caused this institution to spread
into all lands, and to be venerated with
veneration only second to that which is ac-
corded to the Christian religion itself.
Whenever it becomes intrusion" for any
other than the Caucasian or the Anglo Saxon
to be admitted to therights, lights and bene-
fits of Masonry or of the religion of Christ,
then will our faith fail, not in either of the
Institutions, but in the hollow hearted hypo-
critics who should to-day be scourged from
the holy places they are desecrating as the
money changers were scourged from the
temple in Jerusalem eighteen hundred years
ago.

So Fallen (!

Frank Caldwell, the secession candidate
for Congress in the 5th District against Mr..
Lash, the regular Republican nominee, has
fallen so low that he is advocating in his
paper, the Greensborough Patriot, the re-
pudiation of the old State debt. Frank
states that W. W. Holden is largely in
terested in the old bonded debt" Frank
lies. Holden owns no State bonds and no
Bank stock of any kind. Frank, when did
you hear from Warnersvile al
Frank is also in the habit of telling the
people that Holden is secessionist. There
he lies again. But if Holden be secession
ist, why did the lamented George E. Badger
vote for him for the Convention, in Wake,
in 1861? And if Holden he a secessionist,
why did Frank support him for Governor in
1864? r-.,,..,
And William A. Graham, once the hon.
ored and peerless leader of his party in this
State, advises the people of the State to re-
ject the new Constitution because it con-
tains provision that every citizen shall
taky an oath to support the Constitution
and the laws For proof of this see his
letter in recent Raleigh Sentinel

Feebleness PersOnified.

ming for Governor on ticket which bears
fraud on its face; poor Helper retiring for
Congress to let Mr.. Boyden run in his place
against Mr.. Cowles; Mr.. B. S. Hedrick, of
Washington City, running for Congress
against Col. Deweese; and poor old Frank
Caldwell dribbling out his crazy nonsense
on the stump as candidate for Congress
against Mr. Lash These men all together
will not get votes enough to mark mile posts
to Washington City.

ANOTHER ONE,

The York Herald publishes and
the Sentinel copies an article under the
caption, Negroes ruled out ofthe Free
Schools in Connecticut" Common
readers would suppose that colored
children were not allowed to attend
public schools at all in Connecticut
The fact is simply this, that in town
meeting in Hartford, both Republicans
and Democrats being present and par
ticipating, it was agreed that the two
races should attend separate schools.
1t is all utter falsehood, that &C the ne
groes are ruled ont of the Public
Schools in Connecticut" They attend
different schools from the whites; that
is all. So it Will be in North Carolina.

PROPERTY QUALIFICATION.

Let it he remembered that the new
Constitution requires no property quail
ifcation for Office. All intelligent and
ambitious young men have now a fair
start ard an even chance. Under the
old slave aristocracy, they were tram
pied down OIL a level with the slaves.
Talk about disfranchisement /! Dis
franchisement indeed ! Here we have
been living for years under Consti-
tuition which has degraded every white
man who was not able to own GER
tain amount of property. Whatever
his worth or intelligence, he was not on
a civil orpolitical equality with other
white men who were richer than he was.
And now this old oligarchy are trying
to "cone it " over poor white men, by
raising a senseless clamor against the
black man, in order to divert their at
tention from their own expressions.

Gov. Holden.

Gov. Holden reached home Thursday morn
ing from Danbury, Stokes County. He ad-
dressed the people at Wentworth on Satur
day, and at Danbury on Monday last. He
was advised by his physician at Danbury
tllat on account of his lungs, affected from
much speaking in the open air, it would not
be prudent in him to meet his appointments
at Dobson. Trap Hill, Wilkesborough, Tay-
lorsville anl Statesville. He regrets exceed
ingly his inaI ility to address the people at
those places, but he is conscled by the re-
Election that the great bo'ly of the people
in these localities are tried and true Republi-
cans, and will cast very large vote for the
Constitution and for the ticket.
Gov. H. brings good news from Rocking
ham. Stokes and Forsyth. The Republi-
cans have made excellent nominations in
these Counties. They are united, enthusi-
astic and constantly working for the good
cause. These three Counties will not give a
less majority together than NINETEEN
HUNDRED for the Constitution and fofthe
ticket. The colored people in these Coun-
ties. as elsewhere, are a unit for the Repub-
licans, but the above majority will be cast
mainly by the large white population of the
above Counties. On his way home he heard
good reports from Person. Guilford. David
son, and Randolph. The Republicans OF
Caswell will do their whole duty, if prompt
" protected by the military. They have
right to this protection, and we trust the
military authorities will not hesitate mo-
ment to extend it.
Our Republican friends may rest assured
indeed, his past course and his energy OF
character afford sufficient assurance-that
Gov. Fl. will not lie idle between this and
the election. He has no fears for the result.
Information from all parts of the State au-
thorize the opinion that the Republicans
will carry the State by a very large malority;
but in view of the unscrupulous and dcsper
ate character of the opposition leaders, and
the means they are using to deceive and
mislead the people, it is important that
every Republican and every friend of law,
order and civil government should exert
himself to the uttermost A bold and uni
ted charge along the whole line will COM
pletey route the forces of the opposition,
and crown the cause of good government
and sound principles with glorious
triumph.

Important Order from Gen. Candy.

We have received and shall publish in
our next, an important Order from General
Candy, in which he speaks of combinations,
formed or being formed to prevent, delay or
hinder the execution of the laws of the Uni
ted States, or by force, intimidation, or
threats to prevent a free exercise of the right
of suffrage. He calls upon all civil and
military officers to do their duty, to the end
that law may be maintained and the people
allowed freely and without molestation to
60 to the polls and deposit their votes.
There is ground for apprehension on this
score, and we regard Gen. Canby's Order as
proper and timely. Gov. Graham leads the
conspirators in this State against the gov
ernment of the United States, and advises
the people to reject the new Constitution,
because it provides that every citizen shall
take an oath to support the Constitution
and the laws, Secret oath-bound organiza-
tions exist all through the country, whose
object is to defeat reconstruction by force
and fraud and will resort, if necessary, to
murder and assassination to carry out this OBJ
ject. As the Washington Chronicle says "How
different these midnight couclaves from the
Union Leagues! The poor blacks meet to
educate themselves in liberty and law, t.
prepare for suffrage and schools; educated
whites meet to prepare for midnight assault,
housebreaking and murder" The leaders of
these secret eonclaves have already proclaim
ed war of races. No such war will begin
unless they begin it, and woe unto them if
they do! We want peace. We were for
peace in 1860, in 1868, in 1865, and we are
for it now We would sacrifice every thing
but blessed Liberty to maintain peace, but
Liberty must be preserved at all hazards
Let the Republicans stand like q stone waN.-
Let them cote at all hazards. Their right to
vote is every thing to them. Their very
lives and liberties depend on this right
Let them not surrender it In any event. The
military will protect them. We have Gen.
Canby's word for it, and the word of brave
soldier will be maintained against any and
all odds. The flag waves every where to
protect the loyal in the exercise of their
rights, and a terrible retribution will fall on
that man or set of men who may attempt by
armed violence or force to trample on those
rights.

C0nuentiOn-First Senatorial District.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 26th ult.,
informing me that have been nominated
by the Convention you represent, for seat
in the State Senate, has been received.
surely did not expect such nomination
and do not seek any office, yet cheerfully
bow to the will of my Republican friends.
/ believe the honest will of the Union men
of the country must he maintained in order
to secure peace. happiness and prosperity.
These results are to be achieved amid tho
curses and frowns OF those who have sapped
the foundation of this government by their
plots of treason. But we must no. falter. For
so long as we honestly contend for the prin-
ciples of Justice, Union. Liberty and Equal
ity, we may expect the assistance Of divine
Providence
It would afford me the greatest pleasure
to canvass the District, but pressure Of
business absolutely demands my personal
attention. leave the whole duty in the
hands of my friends. "Let US have faith
that Right makes Might, and in that faith
let us, TO the end, dare to do our duty as we
understand it."

Your obedient servant,

Taxation.

All that we could desire would be, that eve
ry honest man who wishes to inform him
self upon this subject, would read the two
productions side by side We have no
doubt as to the conclusion at which he
would arrive. There is no more infamous
fraud being practiced upon the people of
North Carolina than the representations
which are made about the heavy taxation
imposed by the new Constitution by rebel
presses and rebel orators

Orange County.

We are gratiiied to learn that the pros.
poets OF the Republican party are growing
brighter and brighter in Orange. The old
wheel-horsc, II. B. Guthrie, the Republican
candidate for the Senate, is making the Reb-
el leadcis quake in their boots. We hear
almost every day of gains from the white
men in Orange to the Republican party
Those who have suffered by the war, and
who long for peace and prosperity, say they
like Gov. Graham as man, but they can
not follow HIM as po,itician to further
ruin Put down Orange as certain for the
Republicans.
