RALErGH, N. O.. March 20, 1871.
The arguments I'm the impeachment trial, which
consumed the greater portion or last week, closed
tonight The defence contended that under
the act for the better protection or life,
liberty and property, passed by the last Gene
raj Assembly, the respondent had power
to dealare any county or counties In
state OF insurrection whenever rhe exigences de-
manded II, and that he did, under this authority
declare the counties Of Alamance and Caswe in in
surrecti0n, owing to the commission OF large nnm-
Der or 0utrages upon loyal men. They argued
further that the respondent became convinced OF the
existence OF rebellion organized by secret societies
to overturn the reconstruction acts OF Congress- In
the alleged insurrectonary counties, ana in order
TO suppress 1t and protect loyal men, he found Il
necessary to organize military force and for time
subvert the civil authority which was paralyzed
and ineffective. The argument wound up by admit
ting that the respondent had committed grave errors
