If the action OF our Courts are to be TINS
treated, it were better that they shonId be
totally abolished
Solicitor Coleman has since been remov-

Gus removals from office [ have heard Of
no instance where the officer has been in

The tow In the Capitol.
days past have been confined to the re-
cent disgracefnl scenes committed in the
very Capital Of the State We have already
| published extracts from the Raleigh papers,
giving some account of these matters,
and also the reports OF the Legislative pro-
ceediDgs. We have said nothing ourselves,
and will, on the present occasion, content
ourselves by making the following extract
| from the Sentinel, Of the 10th Instant,
giving more full! particulars Oar ever
faithful Raleigh corresp" 1dent also gives
an account OF these beautiful transactions.
The Sentt,sej says:
! Everything Radical seems to be IN q
stew. Ia Congress the most disgracefui
scenes were witnessed III counting the
Presidential vote. The Senate is rudely
| ordered out OF the House. In Tennessee
| the members are fighting. In New Jersey
Il member OF the Legislature is in the
! Penitentiary for bribery.
Our Cnpito! was. on Saturday, the scene
| Of great aad disgraceful disorder, in which
| every branch of the government partici-
pated -wbite and colored, Executive,
! Legislative and Judicial.
As stated III our Saturdays issue. tine
papers Of the Auditor were piled up il, the
passage Of the Capitol, and the Auditor
ARE ,ted. Instead OF taking his prisoner
to Jail. She Marshal took him to the Gov
ernor, who cursed aloud The most COM
mon oath to be found III the Governor s
organ is about " He'll freezing over" We
have it from one who heard him. that he
! did not use his famous quotation, but
said Supreme Court or no Supreme
Court, Chief Justice CT no Chief Justice,
id if my officials shall go to Jail. If they
! do. it shall be over the dead bodies OF my
militia"
About o'clock, Victor Barringer, Of the
Code Commission, and Goldsboro' secesh
Convention, appeared with a paper before
the Court, intended to purge Adams, the
Auditor, Of contempt The Chief Justice
asked if it was signed and sworn to by
Adams Upon being answered IL the
negative, the Chief Justice said Mr.. Adams
would appear at 1 o'clock, and if he did
not clearly and fully purge himself of con
tempt, he would go to Jail.
Victor folded bis papers and left we
suppose, to get thcm in ship shape, by
having them signed and sworn to.
! Saturdays proceedings will show how
} carpet bag Hayes wanted to ciesr the Cap
itol of the Court. James Harris, colored,
who located the penitentiary, offered bill
in the House to give the Auditor the north
that the Auditor be relieved from all fine,
and penalties to which he may be SUBJ ect-
ed for his neglect to >..:;ate the room here
tofore used by the Supreme Court. Maj.
Willie ID. Jones, the arch rebel and Roam
oke prisoner, Was heard to say it WIS time
! for him to call out the Middle Division
Galloway, colored, but the best behaved
!; and most liberal Radical OF the Senate,
thought the Attorney Genera! might give
J up his room a. he was seldom in it, AS
we write this hurriedIy for the press, at IL
|, o'clock, we learn the Senate has passed a
resolution referring the whole matter to
! the Governor In this the House refused
to concur.
Adams is not yet IN Jail We learn that
, the boys on the Bench overruled the Chief
Justice and Judge Reade, and the dignity
: and authority of the Court was not main
tanned. We are sorry in our hearts for q
r State that has such Governor, euch &
+ Legislature and such a Court.
The Attorney General is now able to ap
pear in Court. but he bears upon his head
and face the marks of the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, inflicted in &
grog shop fight.
FRIDAY Jones aud Henry Hunter, color.
ed. at first seemed indignant, like the
Governor and the carpet-baggers, but nov
they seem mortified that the Radica
whites don't behave better.
