thus left without any civil government, I'M
til Congress should provide the necessary
legislation for re establishing civil govern

among the constitutional powers of the Pres

beyond such provisional appointments.
But the President, unfortunately for us,
my countrymen, assarped legislatice authority.
By himself or his agents he prescribed the
qualification OF voters, fixed the times of
holding elections, dictated provisions to be
Incorporated in the State Constitution and
when his Legislation had been executed by
the people OF the section of country known
as North Carolina, he, with a stupidity
sublmely intrepid, informed Congress, in

Congress promptly ignored the Executive
usurpation, but swith caution and delibcra-
ton proceeded itself in the work of restoring
to life this dead State of the Union, prescri-
bling the qualification of voters, the mode of
holding elections, the kind of constitution

the unorganlzed region" to place in the
! Union. In word, Congress did all those

been doing since the foundation of the United
States government, in transforming sections
of country, which are without civil govern

Grant as a Friend.


Confederatesolders! Grant is your friend.
He gave you all honorable terms of surren-
der, bid you 60 home, obey the laws, be
good citizens and you should not be hurt.
This pledge he has kept, even against Presi-
dent johnson, when he wanted Lee and 9TH
ers tried and punished for treason. Grant
said no dismiss the suits-let Lee and all
the Generals and soldiers alone as long as
they keep their paroles. 1t was Grants
influence that sent bread and meat to thou
sands of poor Confederate wives and children.
1t was Grant who put an end to the war,
reduced soldiers into citizens, brought the
Union together, opened the channels oftrade
again, put an end to the immense expendi-
lures, and gave to labor its security and just
rewards. '4a
Gen. Grant is a working man, modest
man, a just man, a lair man; he has the
genius of common sense, Gas Henry Ward
Beecher says,J his honesty is proverbial, his
sagacity great, his knowledge of human ma
ture unerring, his patriotism of the ancient
order. The nation can repose in his Judge
ment, prudence and firmness The South
magnanimity. He will exact from her moth
ing but obedience to the laws, fidelity to the
Union, and support of the Government, the
same as of, by and from the other States that
were true all the time. She should follow
his advice given two years ago, and discard
an alliance with the Northern Copperheads,
whose friendship is death to her. She should
ally herself with the National party that
ruled during the war, now rules and will
continue to rule. She should make friends
OF the Republican party and from it alone
can she obtain help. That party is able,
willing and ready to grant relief 1t but
asks fidelity to the Union and Government.
Grant will "let us have peace Huntsrille

FREEMAsoNRY IN THE EAsT.-Robert
Morris delivered very instructive lecture
at the Cooper Institute Friday night, on the
subject of Frecmasonry in the Holy Land.
He said that at Smyrna he found eight Ma
sonic Lodges, which included among their
members the foreign consuls of most of the
nations not Roman Catholic, and nearly all
the Turkish digntaries. At Ephesus he at
tended Masonic picnic. At Beyrout he
found the only Lodge in Palestine. Among
its members is the Pasha of all the territory
from Asia Minor to Egypt. At Damascus
he found sixteen Masons, among them the
renowned Add Ell Kadir, formerly Sultan. of
the Arab race of North Africa. Throughout
Syria and Palestine there is an intense pre-
judice among the lower classes against Free.
masonry, but the high officers of the Turk
Ish Government, and the few educated and
intelligent men who are to be found there,
are well disposed toward the order. "'i

FURNITURE.-We take pleasure in di-
recting the attention of our readers to
the magnificent furniture establishment
Of j. & G. Mendel 81 Co., Main street.
They have a full and complete stock
of goods in their line, Sofas, Bedsteads,
Bureaus, Chairs, Mattresses, Tables,
Wash-stands, &c, of all kinds, from the
finest to the cheapest. Their Parlor
sets are splendid specimens of work
nanship, and their Bedroom furniture
is not to be surpassed either for beauty
or excellence by anything in the mar
ket. Messrs. Mendel lately furnished
the Grant House throughout in style
that has attracted great attention. The
contract was awarded to the lowest
bidder, and in procuring il this firm
had to compete with home and foreign
establishments. The judgment of the
public is that the Grant House furniture
is admirable. Messrs. Mendel are large
ly engaged in the manufacturing BUSH
mess, turning out at their large furni-
ture factory, on Fifth street, nearly all
of the very large quantity of goods sold
By them. Making their own stock they
are able to save to their customers the

THE RECENT CHRIsTMAs.-We pre-
sumo that according to usage the prop
er thing to say about the recent Christ
mas would be that sit passed off quiet

the truthful statement of the case. To
be plain, we have not seen in this city,
since the war, more disgraceful and
disorderly condition of things than pre-
vailed here from Thursday evening to
Friday midnight. Drunkenness, row.
dyism, noise, fighting and all manner
of cumming business, prevailed almost
without interruption, in different parts
of the city, during the time named.
Bloody noses, were as common as dirt,
and black eyes were in q beautiful
abundance. Several of the enterpris-
ing parties under whose management,

lege of helping to pay the fiddler.

How TO HAVE Your NAME "SCP-
PRESSED. 1T is our custom to publish n
our report CT the Police Court proceed
ings the names of all persons tried be-
fore that tribunal. We have been fire.
quently urged to deviate from this rule.
All sorts of arguments have been laid
before us, from that Of "family coBsid-
erations" and Cuisines standing" to
the famous drgumeatum Gd bucaliHum,
the persuasive feature of which is a
big club. Divers and sundry induce
ments in the way of cash and cowhides
have been held out to us, to bring abou t
departure from our regular habit.
We can understand very well why the
young man Of money, family and posi-
ton, who gets into trouble should want
his name suppressed from the Police
reports, and we can imagine the morti-
fication consequent upon it's publica-
ton. We have looked over the whole
situation and have finally hit upon
plan by which all young men of good
standing, who do not desire to have
their little scrimmages published to the
world, can be accommodated, and we
trust the plan will be satisfactory.
They have merely to avoid all fights,
DRINKS and disorderly conduct; in short,
keep clear of the Police Court. Let
them do this and they need have no
fears of unpleasant notoriety.
But the idea that because a young
man has money, good clothes and re-
spectacle connections, he can set all
decency at defiance and yet escape pub
LEFTY, while the poor hummer who has
no friends, cash nor character, is to
monopolize the notorieties of benzine
and rowdyism, is too ridiculous for a
moments consideration. If it is such
a terrible disgrace to be published, it
can hardly be less disgraceful to merit
publication.

The following are the particulars, as
given by the local papers:
"Quite a romantic wedding came of
in this city on Monday last. A gentle
man residing in California came to the
city and married a young lady whom he
had never seen, his only knowledge OF
her being a letter he had read, ad-
dressed to a relative, reciting her
troubles and her lonely condition. Itso
touched his heart that he resolved the
---~-..~- who nnnlh non sneh "a letter
would make good wife, and mother
to his motherless babes. He came to
this city, saw the lady, proposed and
was accepted, and, after the tying of
the knot, the two, mutually pleased
with one another, left for his far OFF
home in California.

CHRISTMAS AT THE MCCLURE HOUSE,
A friend from the Mcclure House is not
quito certain that he slowed away the
biggest dinner eaten on Christmas, but
he did his prettiest for one of the best
ever seen or eaten hereabouts. The ho-
tells of Wheeling all had magnificent
spreads for the occasion. The proprie-
tors of the Mcclure had a sumptuous bill
of fare, including all the substantials'
delicacies and rarities of the season, and
everybody who parteok thereof, has
since been lavish of praise ever the en-
tertainment.
