General Candy.

AS to General StOneman's successor, VIC are
assured that he is gentleman who stood high
in the old army with Southern officers and we
believe in his Southern administration he he's act
ed III spirit of kindness, fairness and hberality.
Wo are inclined to the opinion that the people of
Virginia may congratulate themselves in having
him rather than some one Else.
Richmond Enquirer
Our generally we'll posted contemporary
certainly could not have been close OBJ
server of General CANBY's conduct in the
administration of this Military District, nor
have read the manly letters of Ex-Governor
WORTH to President JOHNSON and to Gen
eral CANDY, which we have recently pub
lished, for We know that paper is too honest
to court the favor of any official by giving
credit where none is due. There has been
no Military Commander in the South who
showed his bitter partisanship more
maglignantly. There was something to
admire in the boldness and audacity with
which Generals SHERIDAN and SICKLEs dis
played their hatred to the Southern people,
but even this was not characteristic of the
administratio of CANDY. We hope our
neighbors will not suffer by the change, for
Virginia and her noble people have a
strong hold on our affections.

ment seems to have given but little salts
faction to the Southern "loyalists," whom
be is supposed to represent. Breckln-
ridge Democrat in the Presidential con-
test OF 1860, he may make violent par
titan, as new converts generally prove the
sincerity of their course by bitter ana
unreasonable opposition to former frlends
and opinions.
Messrs. STEWART and BoRIE are both
wealthy merchants with Democratic ana
conservative tendencies, who know much
more and care much more about the COM
mercial history and prosperity OF the coun-
try than of it's politics. General Cox has
no other political history than as Governor
of Ohio for one term, declining to run
again. He was offered the position of Sec
retary of War by President JOHNSON as a
compromise with the Senate in the Stan
ton matter and his whole course, military
and civil, has been one which has won for
him the regard of moderate men. Judge
HoAR has never been in politics-is law
yer of ability and has served as Judge OF
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
However able these men may prove
themselves to assist President GRANT in
administering the affairs of the country,
they certainly are not persons calculated
to v:talize" the party which GRANTS
Pennsylvania adviser, Mcclure, seemed to
regard as the chief duty IF Cabinet Mln-
lister. Hardly one of them could in any
sensc be regarded as a representative man.
and we are not surprised that Indignant
Senators should snccringly ask " who IS
Borie 2" when his name was announced as
Secrstary Of the Navy, or that Judge HoAR's
appointment should be received by such
chronic politicians as Senators SUMNER and
Wilson, from his own State, with scOlnful
laughter.
So far as his future political course is
concerned President GRANT has concealed
his opinions III the appointment of his
Cabinet officers and in the. utterances of
his inaugural as completely as he did in
his silence previous to his entrance into
office SO far as his personal preindices
extend the President has given quick and
forcible expression thereto. In the pro
motion of SHERIDAN and his return to
Louisiana, in the assignment Of General
HANCOCK to Dacotah, the return Of CULLEN
to his regiment, and the selections of Gen
erals CANDY, TERRY, and REYNOLDS for i'm
portant and pleasant commands, in such
hot haste, display personal partialities
and animosities of which We had hoped he
was incapable.
We will overlook his partialities and pre-
JUDGES, and shall not quarrel if he con-
tinues mum in his political opinions, and
if he will only act up to his promise in
meeting the questions which will come be-
fore him for settlement during the next
four years by approaching them calmly,
without prejudice, hate or sectional pride,
remembering that the greatest good to the
greatest number is the object to be attain
ed, he will add brighter crown than any
yet worn by him, and leave a name of which
his children and his children children will
have cause to be proud. He has it in his
power to reunite this distracted country
and make it one il sentiment as it is in
destiny.

The Fifteenth Amendment.


Six or seven States, including North
Carolina, have thus far ratified the pro-
posed Fifteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. It will re-
quire the ratification of twenty eight of
the thirty-seven States of the Union, for
we suppose Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas will be counted among the States for
this purpose, before it becomes part and
parcel of the Constitution. This amend
ment reads as follows:
Be IL resolUed (two-thirds of both Houses con-
curring), That the following amendment to the
Constitution of the United States be submitted to
the Legislatures of the several States, and when
ratified by three-fourths thereof it shall be part
of said Constitution
ARTICLE Is. The right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any State,
on account OF race color Or previous condition of
servitude.
SECTION 2. The Congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
AS mere question of party politics we
ton of this amendment. Negro suffrage
has already been forced upon the Southern
people, and they could possibly have no
objection to see it forced upon those of the
North. Yet, as matter of principle, we
regard it not only as Objectionable, but
dangerous to the welfare of the country
It's adoption does not alter the condition
of affairs in the South, but it will legalize
an outrage that has been forced upon US
by the exercise of illegal power.
But there is more serious objection,
still, to this proposed amendment. It will
be depriving the States of all power over
the question of suffrage, which theoreti-
cally belongs to the States under the Con-
stitution, and confers it upon Congress-
This right, of which the South has been
violently deprived, is yet exercised in full
force in the Northern States, and its full
power claimed for them in the Radical
platform upon which General GRANT was
elected to the Presidency. Let it once be
transferred to Congress, and this grave
question will become the football of party
managers. Citizens will be disfranchised,
as they have been in Tennessee, to suit the
necessities of the party in authority, and
the few remaining rights yet permitted to
the States will perish under the influence
of the power thus granted to Congress.
We can we'll appreciate the motives of
those gentlemen whose political record is
against the Reconstruction measures of
Congress in this State and elsewhere, who
recorded their votes in the Legislature in
favor of this measure, and while we believe
they have made mistake, we feel conf
dent that they have been led into this
course through conscientious and patriotic

VIM. T. ATKINSON.

President GRANTS inaugural and his
Cabinet officers are in strict keeping with
his political history since his nomination
at Chicago. His silence during the canvass
was considered master stroke of strategy
by his friends, and probably added some
thing to his strength. His silence now
is not SO keenly rslished by these same
friends. His inaugural was received by
the Radical leaders rather with negative
than positive applause, but then they ex-
pected his policy would be shown in the
formation of his Cabinet. 1t would be
impossible for him to hide his sentiments
longer behind his hitherto impenetrable
reserve. Already, as the day of Inaugural.
ton approached, the leaders became lit
tie FESTIVE, and their uneasiness was mani
tested by the increasing pertinacity with
which they persisted in their refusal to
repeal the Tenure fOffice Act, and
GRANTS highly commended prudence in
keeping his own councils while candidate
had now become most rascally virtue u
when these Republican Warwicks were de-
MED the confidence of their future Presi-
dent. Scarcely an intimation of any re-
concentrations of the Forthcoming inau-
gural, and barely name of the Cabinet
found their way into the newspapers, and
not one person was taken into the conf
dence of the President elect.
The inaugural threw no light upon the
political tendencies of the new administra-
ton. The uncertainty which had sur
rounded the opinions and probable course
of the successful candidate was made even
more so by the stolid unneaningness OF
the political utterances of the President.
All eyes turned, then, to the complexion
of the Cabinet, and its announcement
produced such unusual excitement that the
proceedings OF Congress were temporarily
suspended by the great confusion which it
caused. II the happy conception of the
artist who made the curtains in rear Of the
presiding officer of the Chicago Conyen-
ton to withdraw just at the moment when
GRANTS nomination was announced, ex-
posing to admiring and enthusiastic gaze
the life-hke features of their candidate.
with the magic words MATCH HIN" bid
ding defiance to all opposition, could have
been repeated, with slight variations to
suit the altered times and circumstances,
the effect would have been as great if not
so highly appreciated. At least we could
we'll imagine the form of the stern warrior
standing behind the Speakers chair, his
hands clenched over his closed lips with
the single word "MUM" printed in dis
tinct letters above him.
With the exception of WAsHBURNE, who
is the most intimate friend Of the Presi-
dent, there Is not man of positive polit-
zeal record among those who form the new
Cabinet. MIR. CREsswELL, indeed, may
have taken some position in the few years
he served in the Senate, but his appoint

6 Jnnea & Cn.u


There seems to be some feeling between
the native and carpet-bag factions of the
Radical party as to which shall have the
lions share in the division of spoils. The
poor negro is not much thought about in
this family quarrel. In making the follow
ing suggestions We do not wish to be un-
derstood as favoring the native rather than
the carpet-bag faction. But we do not wish
to be behind "our" Governor IL acknowl-
edging and rewarding talent among our fell
low citizens, even if some of our Northern
friends are deprived of some of the legiti-
mate fruits of their political labors. Besides
we desire to promote m0tive talent when we
know it has been unfortunate, and requires
only favorable opportunity to display it.
SELF
Now, Governor Holden, who has gen.
orally favored the carpet-bag faction in the
distribution of offices to control North
Carolina railroads, as evidence Abbott,
Estes, Latin, Littlefeld, Byrnes, ct cetera,
has developed latent desire to give some
of his unfortunate North Carolina friends
chance to retrieve their bad luck under
other administrations.
To illustrate Having appointed A. J.
Jones, of the former luckless firm of
"Jones IL Co., Cotton Brokers', Director
of the Fayetteville and Western Railroad,
we learn he is an aspirant for the Presi-
dency, with favorable prospects for sue
IT, - g IL IL
suggest to the Board of Directors the name
of DR.. William Sloan, as Treasurer. It
would be a comfortable way to revive
the fallen fortunes of the firm and place
them on their feet again.
To make assurance doubly sure, and to
show our disin.erested friendship for ma
tive worth and talent, We have one other
recommendation to submit. We further
learn that Governor Holden, in order to
show that his confidence in DR.. Sloan
is mistaken by the partisan efforts
of Governor WORTH and Treasurer
BATTLE, to implicate his former Treas.
urer in on ugly cotton speculation,
will appoint that individual Director of
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad. With the certainty of the ap-
pointment as soon as the stockholders shall
have accepted the amendments to the
Charter, we understand that DR.. Sloan is
to be candidate for the Presidency, with
most fattering prospects for success. We
desire in this event, also to recommend A.
J. Jones as Treasurer of this Company
We think the firm of "Jones & Co." could
run both roads for their own advantage.
Not that the firm would require them

Fire in GOlslsbOro'.

We regret to learn that the residence
of Mr.. George V. Strong Of Colds
5oro', was destroyed by fire Sun
day last. The greater portion of the fur
niture was saved. The fire was caused by
one of the chimneys of the residence. The
house was insured for $4,000.
We extend our sympathies to Mr.. Strong
and his family in this disaster, and
trust that his loss may be speedily made
cool
