The Fair Grounds.

Weoobserye that the State AgrlcuHurai'
Society yi proposes COMMITTEES 70 ask SIX, com
nensation from the general government for
the use and occupancy Of the Fair air Grounds esalf
in this city. This movement is unfortunate mate
because it opens the wholelquestlon of the
use and occupancy Of these grounds. The
Coniederates seized these grounds in April
1861 (before the State attempted to secede)
and they were gladly surrendered to them
by those who had charge OF the grounds at
that time. They were used as a canp,a
military prison for Union soldiers, and
hospital, and numerous cruel acts Of des-
potism were .perpetrated in that lesea5'iy.l
Nothing was ever said about the Com
federates paying for the use and occupancy
of the grounds. 1t was all right to peryert
them scithout compensation to Confederate
uses and abuses, but when the United States
come in and capture them ana them,
they mast be paid for. 1t would have been
much more appropriate for the Society to
have passed resolution of thanks to the
Government of the United States for not
having confscated these grounds and for
having kindly restored them to the city Of
Raleigh. .,aa5.r. Is no l,.,5.4g era AL od.f

Important Decisions by the Supreme

We publish to- day two very important
decisions just rendered by the Supreme
i Court of North Carolina-one in relation to
the Stay Law, and Homestead, and one in
relation to Colored Testimony, 1t viii be
seen that the Court has declared the Stay
Law unconstitutional, and has at the same
time very strongly intimated that the Home
stead exemption in the State Constitution is
good as against all debts, old as well as
new We rejoice at this decision. 1t will
carry joy to many household in the State.
The opinion ofthe Court, by Justice Reade
has been delivered in the best style, and
will long stand as monument to the wis
dom and liberality of that tribunal. j a.il
1t will also be seen that the Court has de-
cided that colored testimony must be taken
in all cases, and that there is no difference
in this respect between awhile man and a
black man The Court has done this, not
under the Civil Rights Bill, as it is called,
but under the institution of the State,
which guarantees equal political and civil
rights to all This opinion is by the Chief
Justice himself, and is characterized by his
usual terseness and point. ~, rf-l,g,
We point with pride to these decisions as
embodying the sense of the great bodysef the
people of the State, and as doing credit to
the noble body Of men from whom they
have proceeded sae bad ~ fssq.5
