A rabil Radical cotemporary, havin

A rabil Radical cotemporary, having
in view the Haynes tragedy, says:
"Can you name Southern soldier or
officer who has been murdered in the
North since the war? We defy any man
to DO this; and yet there are two South
ern men in the North for every North
crn man in the South But if such
assassinations were li!htly suggested,
and when committed, applauded by The
Northern press, and the victim malig-
nantly misrepresented, might we not
expect to harvest crop of assassinations
as bloody as that OF the South? Has
assassination become the boast of chiv.
airy"
The Southern soldiers who went
North after the surrender demeun them
selves as gentlemen, and have neither
broken the laws nor rendered themselves
obnoxious to the communities in which
they reside. Had they sought by OBJ
tanning control of tho local governments
to inaugurate reign of terror, plunder
without stint, and persecutc whoever
did not endorse their scoundr, ,lism, vi
olcnce and lloodshed would have fire.
qucntly resulted, as natural conse-
quence. Mems natures arc about the
same the world over The passions are
no more under control North than South;
aud too many individuals, smartiug un-
der real or supposed wrongs, choose to
become their own judge, jury and exc
cutioncr. Men in the South who stir
up bad blood run the same risk en-
countered elsewhere. Every deed of
blood in the South finds its fellow in
the North. A single issue of a North
ern journal frequently contains recitals
of half dozen tragedies committed on
"loyal' soil, the results either of pas.
sion or cupidity. But it suits the pur-
poses of Radicalisu to invest every trag-
ic affair in the South with a political
significance. The object is to make
sentiment in the North. The scheme
will no longer win. The country fully
understands our carpet-ba9gers and
scalawsgs, and the motives prompting
them. 1t is their death struggle. \
year hence, even the negroes, who Lave
been their trusty followers, will shun
them as the 'ague. Every doG has his
day. They have had theirs.

letter from Omaha to a Friend in
Philadelphia, which is published in a
late number of the Friends htelligencer.
The date of the letter is 9TH month (of
June) Is, 1869. At that time Friend
Janney had visited but three Of the a.
gencies, those for the Wiunebagocs, the
Omahas, and the Pawnees. With each
of these tribes he held a council, and
found them much pleased at having
Friends for their caretakers. They call
the agent Father, the superintendent
Grandfather, and the President of the
United States Great Father or Great
Grandfather. Of these three tribes the
Winnebagoes are, Friend Janney thinks
the best informed but the most demor.
allied; the Omahas the most orderly
and virtuous, and the Pawnees the most
warlike. The last mentioned are less
civilized than the others, but they have
one redeeming characteristic. They do
not drink ardent spirits, and will not
allow it to be brought on their reserva.

eyes opened to female beauty, but sor-

BIISINESS.

Our town for the past week has pre-.
sented the appearance of its usual stag
nation. The rain seems to have thrown
around us a somnolescent garment, In
the folds of which all lie perfectly con-
tent, complacently watching the ceru
lean armament, no longer vexed with
anxious longings as 20 the promise OF a
shower.
The merchants stand about most fire.
quently in front Of their establishments,
with arms "a-kimbo," searching up and
down for customer.
The NJ. DIS. however present a pleas
ant contrast by the manner in which
they ride around, urging their horses
into the fastest of slow trots, giving one
the idea of an immense pressure Of bus
mess.
The lawyers work silently and in.
omparative solitude, but many an un-
fortunate finds himself in their web,
long before he thinks that there are
"breakers ahead" These lawyers up
hold the adage, "he that laughs last,
laughs BEST" and doubtless many come
to the same conclusion before they are
polished off in "manner and form" as
is suitable to the tenets of these prcfess'
sional gentlemen. ...
. Our old town bears the improvements
now going on with singular equanim-
ity, not even being startled by the new
Post Office in process of construction
on RutledgeSt next door to General
Kershaw's Office under the super
vision of the new appointee, whom
the present quarters don't suit, for what
reason we do not-know.

The SoBTH CAROLINA RAILROAD
CoMpANY.-It gives US great pleasure
to announce that the negotiations for
some time pending in London for the
exchange of the pastdue guaranteed
bonds of the South Carolina Railroad
Company for new first mortgage bonds
of the company, have been brought to
a successful issue. This gratifying in
telligence is contained in cable tele-
gram, dated London, July 18th, receiv.
ed by President Magrath from the Hon.
G. NJ. Furman, to whom the conduct OF
the negotiations was entrusted.
The differences oft South Carolina
Railroad Company with the city Of Au-
gusta and the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company, were amicably ad-
iusted some weeks ago, and now that
the greatest difficulty of all-the equit-
able arrangement of the past-due debt
has been overcome, the Sou'h Caro-
lima Railaord Company will, We trust,
find no obstacle in the way of rapid
return to condition Of prosperity and
profit. The South Carolina Railroad is
the highway of the State. Upon it de-
pends in a large measure our commercial
progress aud business success. And
whether We regard it as private cor
poration or as a great public work, we
have every reason to hope that our
brightest anticpations of its future pros
pcrity will be more than realized. The
road has had to encounter many dangers
and embarrassncnts which arc known to
the management alone; but the worst is
-nxrr, -uuL -the-day is arrrvnci'iss

years of patient waiting, and at the same
time enlarge the usefulness of the CON-
pany as the leading feeder of our com,

CONCLUSION.

On yesterday morning, at an carly
hour, a messenger came up from the
scene of slaughter to this city for the
purpose of procuring coffin for MIR.
Greene. Later in the day another mes
scnger came for another cofin-this one
for Mr.. Holland. We suppose the next
one ordered will be for MIR. A. Z. Wood
ward, who, we learn, was not expected
to live. All of the parties in this tra-
gic occurrence were, we understand,
m men highly honorable and of undoubted
social position. A. p. Woodward is
we'll known in this city, having been
living here for two or three years, clerk
ing for the house of w. S. Royal, cor
ncr of Broad and Centre streets, and
had gone home for few days on Wis
it to his family. He is man of good
character and a capital shot with pis-
tol, having frequently in his employers
store, shot off the head Of a rat at twen-
ty PAGES with a Colts revolver.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
THURSDAY, Nov. 25.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS,

UNFINISHED BUSINESS,
was then taken up. The resolution for
the investigation of alleged frauds in the
management of certain railroad bonds in
troduced by Mr.. Welch.
The question was on the substitute Of
MI. Ellis, which had been accepted by
Mr. Welch.
Harris of Wake, offered as a substitute
of the whole, the bill introduced into the
Senate yesterday by Mr.. Lassitel', on the
same subject.
Mr.. Durham said he was in favor of Mr..
Ellis substitute, because it named COM
mittee, majority Of whom could not be
bought. If the same course was pursued
as in the last investigating committee, it
would simply amount to white washing
affair, and he would move to lay the whole
matter on the table. The people believe
that corruption in it's vilest form exists in
the management of the bonds, and demand
that this Legislature shall appoint com
mittee of irreproachable character to in.
| vestigate the matter thoroughly. He favor.
| ed the substitute of Mr.. Ellis, because il
looked toward an honest investigation,
the other did not. He was opposed to
| these white,washing committees, &c.
| Mr.. Pou said the substitute amounted &c
SIMPLY uOGAtuS' AC "to III 4aFOA Va GAS
House investigating the matter in Commit
| tee of the whole; he thought the idea OF
naming the committee in the resolution
was an insult to the presiding officers,
was ridiculous, as the rules specia y al
| lowed the House to name committees ii II
saw proper.
MIR. Moore of Chowan favored the sub
stitute because it gave the Governor power
to appoint the committees, and its rejec-
| ton would be an insult to the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. Durham said he was satisfied fair
investigation was not going to be allowed;
the proposition of Mr.. Ellis was making
members vince It was to be presumed
that the Governor would be satisfied with
the men elected by Directors OF his own
appointment !; therefore he was not the
man to appoint the committee. He thought
there were members on the floor who
would move heaven and earth to prevent
the investigation of these alleged frauds.
IF Mr.. Ellis proposition be defeated
any committee that may be raised would
simply amount to another white washing
affair.
J. H. Harris, of Wake, colored, advo-
Gated the adoption of his substitute in a
long speech.
MIR. Pou next took the floor, and while
arguing against the substitute message

In addition to the roads mentioned, the in

Mr.. Welch accepted the amendment.
Mr.. ". disclaimed any intention of be-
ing influenced by partisan motives. He
had conversed with Republican Presi-
dents of Roads and they were anxious for
the investigation.
Mr.. Ingram moved to amend by striking
out all after the word Appropriations
and insert the words ''have been mado at
any time"
Mr.. Sinclair thought they had better go
back to the days of Adam.
GIr. WEIGH accepted the amendment.
