A Just Reproof.

The action of the Supreme Court in re-
tlsing to allow the lawyers who signed
the insulting partisan protest against the
Judiciary of the State to practice before it
is eminently proper. We are glad to see
that the Justices of the Supreme Court have
rebuked the participants in that protest in
so dignifed a manner. The protest was q
direct insult to the entire judiciary of the
State, and was so intended by those who
originated it. 1t was the offspring of parti-
san malignlty and was intended to injure
the Judiciary of North Carolina. 1t was
originated by envious and malignant men
who wished to spatter their dirt upon the
Judges simply, because they were above them.
The remarks of the Chief Justice were
just but cutting. They could not practice
in the Court until they had appeared and
shown cause to the contrary. The reproof
of the Court came upon these insulters like
a thunder-bolt from a clear sky. They had
not anticipated such Roland for their
Oliver. The I" solemn protestants" left
the Court room feeling great deal
more solemn than they had antici-
pated. As they departed from the
room they outswore the celebrated
army in Flanders. They looked upon the
"rule" with hatred, and their blue bags
afforded them no consolation. They
even held a caucus to determine
what they should do, but as they
could not vote themselves into the court
their proceedings amounted to but little.
And thus the matter rests The solemn
protestants now really solemn-are in the
/ same condition as was Othcllo their occu
patton being gone. Their brilliant minds
will now have rest, and the world will lose
the benefit of their solemn wisdom. They
have row time to prepare another solemn
| protest, but their late experience has rather
sickened them of that occupation. Protests
are not so fashionable as they were. What
these legal lights will do, while thus hidden
in their legal bushels, is yet unknown. At
present the Capitol and adjacent grounds are
sprinkled with melancholy looking individ-
uals, attached to blue bags. They smile not,
neither do they weep, but their "cuss
words" come forth with rapidty wonder
full to hear These melancholy gentlemen
are the solemn protestants." 1t is to be
hoped that this gentle lesson will teach them
that it is, not only wrong, but injurious to
them elves TO wantonly assail the Judiciary
of the State.
We fully endorse this action of the Court
and hope that the Superior Court Judges
will pursue the same course 1t is a duty
they owe themselves, and it will also be g
charity to teach these officious lawyers that
they cannot bully the Judiciary, but must
behave in becoming manner. Let those
lawyers who signed the protest, as many o.
them have declared they did, upon the
strength of certain Names learn wisdom
from this just reproof, and in the future be
ware of designing politicians who woult
make tools of them.

prises are carried out by our shrcwdest and
wisest business men, who believe this city is
destined to prosper in the future, who
have confidence in the stability of our gov
ernment and the integrity and honesty of
our people. When capital is thus freely in
vested, and has no fears of shipwreck, and
every live man in the place joins in the eff
fort to re-establish business, it is an idle
waste of bad breath tor corrupt press to
cry out, "a ruined people !" The people
only smile at the folly or insanity of the cry
and pass on In pursuit of happiness. The
prospect of Raleigh is bright her citizens of
all classes are improving their condition;
few complaints come from any quarter, save
the charnel houses of old fogydom, and we
rejoice at the general prosperity.

The Right Spirit.

While wicked men, from personal mo-
tives, or to crafty their own evil disposi-
tions, are endeavoring to keep alive feelings
of bitterness which they know to be iniuri-
Gus to the country, it is pleasant to find that
those who did the fighting are now foremost
in the work of peace. 1t is well known that
those who, in time of war, did not dare to
risk their cowardly carcasses within the
range of buller, or who, if forced in, skulk-
ed every danger, and left better men TO do
the fighting, are now the most rampant in
their declarations OF hatred of the govern
ment, and what they will do fthey get the
chance. The really brave men, who fought
when they had the chance, are now the men
who do the most to preserve the peace. To
prove the truth Of this we present the fol-
lowing correspondence induced by the fol-
lowing order of Post 10 G. A. R.:
The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1869-06-16

A Democratic orator who was addressing
the great unwashed" of Providence, R. l.,
the other day, gave the following rather
mixed proposition as the last chance of the
Democracy:
"As few men saved Sodom, so may a
few good men saye the old Democratic ship,
if firm and true to the cause"
We acknowledge that the Democratic par
ty is as wicked as were the people ofSodom,
and perhaps a little wickcder, but we think
Democratic scriptural learning is very
shaky, when it says " a few men saved So
dom" Sodom wasn't saved at all, but was
destroyed by a "dry rain" of fire, brim-
stone and other liquid combustibles. We
reckon, however, that the orator was about
right and that a few men will save the
Democratic ship "jast as Sodom aoas saoed :"
A pleasant prospect for Democrats!

Wheat Culture.

We often ask ourselves, Why should not
North Carolina become wheat-growing
State? We shall be answered doubtless
that it cannot be made profitable. We very
much doubt whether this answer is correct
If it be intended to say that it cannot be
made to pay as well as in those States
that are pre- eminently wheat-growing.
Wheat-growing fell into disuse in our State
before the days of railroads, mainly because
of the expense of getting flour or the wheat
to market. Indian corn was cultivated in
many parts of the State, and still is, because
it could be converted into whiskey and, thus
reduced in bulk, conveyed at less cost to
market. 1t is this maize culture that
has exhausted our lands, and it is impera-
tive in order to restore our lands that it
be very greatly reduced in acreage. By an
improved system of farming, wheat would
be again restored to its place as first in the
agricultural products of the State.
There is no question that the soil and
climate of this State produce wheat of
superior quality. Our State reaching the
coast, and so near to the flour and grain
markets by water conveyance, has the adj
vantage over the Northwestern wheat States,
and because it ripens so much earlier, can
always be in the market one or two months
before many distant States, while there is
less liability to a failure from any cause of
this crop. Take year with year we think
our wheat crop is much more certain than
that of the West or North.
1t onlysremains, then, to determine by ex-
pertinent whether the quantity produced
per acre can be so increased as to justify the
farmers in growing wheat under all the ad-
vantages we have pointed out To our
mind this is certain. All that is needed is
that our land be improved and ordinary care
be had as to the seed sown, and our old State
will stand high as profitable grain grow
ing State We invite the attention of our
agriculturallsts to this matter of wheat
culture, and hope to see the days when our
hills and wales shall be covered with luxu-
RANT wheat that shall prove North Carroll
mas soil well adapted to this staple and re-
munerative to the well-to-do farmer.

SUPREME CoURT.-At the opening of this
court on Tuesday, His Honor Chief Justice
Pearson called attention to the following
rule of the court: I t.arr
"The Court, being informed of certain
libelIous publication, directly tending to
impair the respect due to the authority of
the Court, which was published IN the Sen
tineL, newspaper printed in Raleigh. on

solemn protest of the bar of North Caro-
lina," and purporting to be signed by GER
tain attorneys of this court, orders that the
| Clerk of this Court inquire and report to this
Court which of the persons whose names ap-
pear to be signed to said publication are
attorneys practising in this court.
| The Clerk thereupon reported that the

tising in this Court; as appears from its
records, to wit: Messrs. B. F. Moore, E. G.
Haywood. Thos Bragg, Sion Il. Rogers,

Jarvis, c. G. Clark, VIM. T. Dortch, T. B.
Venable, John Kerr, z. B. Vance, Joseph j.
Davis and E ]. Warren. 4,3 sst5iai -
On the return of the report of the Clerk
the Court orders that the attorneys named in
said report on account of the matter afore-
said be disabled from hereafter appearing
as attorneys or counsellors in this Court, uA-
less they shall severally appear on Tuesday,
the 18th Of June, 1869, and show cause to
| the contrary; and it is further ordered that
copy of this order be served on said at
torneys."
After the announcement of this rule, those
of the "s0iemn protestants," who were pres
ent left the court room, and the business OF
of the court was resumed as if nothing had
happened.

The Bainbridge Argus of the 29th says,
there can be no longer reasonable doubt
that the cotton-caterpillar has made its ap-

Florida, and that its work of destruction
has already commenced. We heard on
Monday that Colonel J. ]. Williams, plant
ing near Tallahassee, has a field of four
hundred acres, in which were not many
stalks of cotton that were not either wholly
or partially stripped by this dreaded
scourge. afsraa
