MIR. Turner and Governor Caldwell.

A great deal of interest he's been excited
throughout the State by the card recently
published bv Governor Cald we'll, in which
Hon. Josiah Turner, Jr.. OF the Sentinel,
was stigmatizgd IS 50 liar " and ga lying
and filthy slanderer." There were rumors
that Mr. Turner had gone to South Caro-
lima, from which place he would demand a
rotraction of tie offensive terms, and there
upon, Caldwell published second card,
epo.ogizing for ths offence. Ia the mean
time, how, yer, Mr.. Turner had sent, from
Columbia, demand for a rehGrn TO
Caldwell. Col. john II. Waite, whobore

BOlatertnR.

It will be remembered that, pending the
Impeachment of Holden, and in anticipn
aion, ss it WERE of the charges which he
Apprehended might be preferred against
himself, Chief Justice Pearson sought to
bring before the Senate, in a rather sur
reptitous manner, q vindication OF his
shameless conduct during the Ku-Klux
campaign" of last summer. The fact
that, at such time and under such cir
cumstances. he essayed such defence. is
the most incontrovertible evidence that
he thought an apology necessary. An in
dependent, honest, fearless. high-m 'nded
Judge, sustained by the con ciousness of
duty performed-having the mems co"scia
Si6i Tecti-would have disdainad parley
with cavaliers, and would have been
willing to leave with Time, which ''sets
all things even," his Justification, The
Senate signally and properly rebuked this
unseemly and undigni6ed effort, On the
part of the Chief Justice, by deny ing him,
in an indignant and summary manner, the
coveted hearing.
Not to be bafaad in his indecent haste
Ak H0l1 G4AIb6bAOus LuO SIiO4 USblCS seeks
another audience. We observe in the re-
GENTLY published volume of the Supreme
Court Reports for the last term. an sppen-
dix, in which is Incorporated the same
paper that, We suppose, was rejected by
the Senate, and wherein Judge Pearson
extenuates his course in the Kirk Ha5eas
Corpus cases. Except protestations OF
honesty, it contains no reasons for his ex-
traordinary conduct, with which the public
are not already familiar. And such pro-
testations, we submit, will not, and ought
not, to weigh feather, in the face of the
fact that the great Writ of Right was
practically denied, by him whose duty it
was 10 enforce it. to scores of oppressed and
incarcerated citizens.
The Chief Justice, himself, by his own
showing, is not satisfied that these err most
facto protestationa will s'go down. with
an outraged and indignant people. and.
accordingly, he invokes boIstering en-.
dorsement from his Associate Justices.
This we have in the shape Of joint dictens

Practical RECOMMENDATION.

We have often said that the country Lad
been cursed with too much Reconstruction
and too little reconciliation. We have had
suffering enough. If we have indeed
sinned, we have paid grievousy for our
errors. II legislation, if the sword, if hui
initiation, if grief and suffering could have
restored the old order of things, then re-
construction would have been completed
long since. We have undergone defeat !;
we have subm tilted to q revolution IN all
social and civil affairs we have had Fed
eral garrisons throughout the length and
breadth Of our section. Odium has been
heaped upon our cause aud our leaders
have been dishonored. Our principles
have been spit upon, and our sympathles
OF affection and Of patriotism have been de
rided. And yet reconstruction Is lncom
plete. The President and Cong es= con
sumo most of their time in patching up
their work of hate and tyranny. Federal
soldiers still garrison our towns and CT
lies, and our best and wisest men are still
denied the rights of free citizenship. The
Southern people remain alienated-nay,
She government has done and IS still do
ing oil in its power to check the growth
OF o common sympathy between the Feo-
pie of the different sections Of our country.
One tear dropped by the North over the
grave of ROBERT LEE, would do moro to
conquer the Southern heart than sea Of
blood and thousand gibbets. One spark
OF genuine feeling manifested towards
crushed and suffering people would more
effectually secure their affection, loyalty
IL you please-than garrison in every
Southern household. Sympathy, kind
ness, the consolation of friends and broth
srs, are what is wanted to win us back.
Permit us to mourn over ruined hopes and
broken fortunes. Respect the sanctity and
the dignity of our grief and suffering.
Honor our dead and living heroes, not
brand them as '' traitors and rebels"
These facts begin to impress themselves
npon the more thoughtful portion OF the
Northern people, and the hatreds and pre-
JUDGES of the Southern people with which
they have chilled their hearts, begin TO
thaw, and occasionally We are permitted to
enjoy the genial sunshine of sympathy and
kindness. Recently we have noticed the
following announcement among the pro-
ceedings of the Pennsylvania Legislature !:
"The lower House passed to its second
reading bill appropriating So 600 for
the use of Washington Cemetery, Mary
" land, to be extended in removing TO said
"Oemetery the bodies of Confederate SOL
diera buried in scattered places in Penn
sylvania. The vote stood yeas A. nays
"35.
There Is more practical reconstruction
In such action than all the legislation OF
Congress, costing nearly as many Millions
We need nothing to teach lis our duties.
We want sympathy. We must be taught
30 feel that we are citizens of common
ceuntry with equal rights and equal priv
ileges. We want reconciliation to go
hand in hand W it'll reconstruction.

The convention Act.

We surrender much OF our space to-day
to the opinion OF B. F. MOORE, Esq, upon
the constitutionality of the Convention
Act The position which Mr.. MOORE holds
in the legal profession in North Carolina
entities his opinion to as much' II not
more respect than that OF any other man
in the State. 1t will probably carry with
it greater weight upon the legal questions
embraced than the opinion of any other
man in North Carolina.
We commend it to our readers, and e8-
pecially those who may have some doubts
of the legality of the Act of the Assembly.
Il will go far towards setting at rest an
issue which has been forced into the can
vass by Gov. CALDWELL, and Is IN fact the
only one left to those who are DESTROYS of
cursing our people by imposing uron their
present Constitution.
