/. lsister State has very black record, and il
he could be pardoned by Congress any Other
man who will sell himself to the Radicals
may aspire to enjoy the same amnesty. He
was an original secessionist ; his writings
were the most malignant and bitter that
ever appeared in the South he worshipped
at the shrine of the great South Caroline
statesman and it was not until the cause
of the Confederacy began to show signs OF
decay that his ardor to ''spend the last dol
lar and die In the last ditch abated. Then
he turned upon his victims Then he for.
got that he urged them on Then he de-
termlned to save Holden's bacon. He has
received pay for his infanly, but the thirty
pieces Of silver which Judas got brought
no good to him neither will the place and
emoiument which this prohigate politician
has obtained benefit him. The scorn OF
all honest men is poured out on his head
and the epitaph written upon his tomb,
stone will be, if justly penned : Here lies
a man who betrayed all who trusted him. y

| SUPREME CoUKT.-In consequence of the
| telegram elsewhere alluded to from Gen.
Candy, the old and vcnerated Supreme
Court of North Carolina on yesterday ter
minated its IabOrs and It's existence.
1t has been the pride and the ornament
OF North CaroEna-the very bulwark of its
liberties. Livery patriot will indulge the
aspiration that the Supreme Court may
continue to be in the future what it has
been In the past-an upright, pure and
stainless tribunal, where justice has been
impartially administered, and the jurisp~ u
dcnce Of the land illustrated and adorned
We have heretofore expressed our feel
iug8, and what we believe to be the senti-
ments of our people towards the retiring

SCARCITY IN Portions OF WILKES AND YAD>
KIN.-We learn upon good authority that
great scarcity of food prevails in portions
of Wilkes and 4adkin counties. Chiefly,
among those who are known as "Red
Strings" who, last year, instead of cult
waiting crops, spent their time in attending
League meetings" and other nonsense
Such people deserve to suffer until they
learn that Radicalism will not put bread in
their mouths but will take it out and leave
them to starve. Holden says, that times
with HIM were never so easy, and that
plenty lin his smoke house, of course)
abounds. Ye starving men who voted for
Holden and the honstitushun, what think
you? Will that satisfy your craving appe-
tites ? Will Holden's well-filled paunch
satisfy your empty stomachs ? Will negro
equality afford you food and raiment De-
pend upon it, you who SO think, will open
your eyes and come to your senses one of
these days-perhaps when too late-and
curse the rogues that deceived you.
