Mr. McDonald, of Moore, by leave, in-troduced
a resolution declaring what has
been done by this Convention, and appoin-ting
a committee to proceed to Washing-ton
and enquire what more is necessary
to be done to restore the State to the Un-ion.
Lies over.
We find the above in the Convention
proceedings of Saturday. Tn the present
financial embarrassments of tlie country—
the scarcity of money among the members
of the Convention, to say nothing of the
depletion in the State Treasury, we would
advise a resolution looking to the creation
ofa ''reconstruction committee" to be
"omposedof the most loyal Union n-.cn in
the Convention, who Bhall have the power
to summon in attendance before them Bucb
throw light upon the all-important sub-ject.
Although the interogal >ry of our
somewhat inquisitive Jriend may b< an-swered
in a word—eat all the dirt you
can for a lilc time—yet perhaps the intro-duction
ofThad Stevens & Co. upon the
witness-stand would elicit something
more. By all means don't tax anybody
with the expense ofa trip to Washington
on this matter. If the speeches and reso-lutions—
the bombast ami gasconade—of
our amiable, charitable and Christian cou-sins
of the United States Congress, which
maybe seen in any of tlie newspapers of
the day, are not sufficient to answer the in-terogatory
of our carious representative
from Moore, then and in that case, sum-mon
a few of the leading radicals to come
down to Raleigh and let them undergo

THE BALL A ROILING.—A i:ni<!i meet-ing
has just been hckl in Wake county.—
The lirct resolve will meet with a hearty
amen all over the State. It is, "That we
are very anxious to see our State restored
to the [Jnion." The fifth recommends
"Gov. Holden, or some other good loyal
man, as a candidate for < rovernor of the
State at the next election. Gov. Holden is
popular in Washington and at the North,
where we need friends, and withal he is a
good and true loyal man. Therefore he
will suit both North and South." &c.—
Many of the ex-(fc»err.or's friends would
doubtless be pleastd if he could be induced
to become a candidate. But aside from the
tickling sensation produced by the recom-mending
of his name for that office, we pre-sume
no other effect will be produced.—
Nothing further, at least, until the resur-rection
of bad tpirits.
Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, May 28.—Nothing done
in the Senqfte.
The House adopted a resolution direct-ing
the Secretary of the Treasury to re-port
the amount of gold sold since the
1st instant; at what rates, and the agents
employed therefor. Mr. Williams submit-ted
a preamble and resolutions requesting
information from the President whether
any employees of the Government in the
Southern States have offered public honors
to dead or living Confederates. Mr. Nich-olson
objected, and the resolution
was laid over. Thad Stevens intro-duced
a bill declaring that the States late-ly
in rebellion have forfeited their rights
under the Constitution, and can be rein-state.
lin the same only through the action |
of Congress. It provides that they may
form rated governments, the present ones
being continued for municipal purposes un-til
they shall be duly altered, and their
Executives and Legislatures recognized.—
Constitutions are to be formed by conven-tions
and submitted to the people, a ma-jority
of whom is necessary lor ratifica-tion.
All male persons above the age ot
twen-one years to vote. No constitution
is to be presented for Congressional sane
tion which denies civil rights to any per-sons.
The bill was committed to the com-mittee
of the whole on the state of the
Union.
Mr. Whaley offered a resolution direct-ing
the Committee on Printing to report a
bill limiting the hours of the employees in
the Government printing office to eight
hours per day- Rejected.
Mr. Lynch, from the Committee ofBank-ing
and Currency, reported adversely on
the proposition to exempt the currency of
State banks outstanding on the 1st of July,
from the tax of ten per cent, imposed by
law. This report was laid on the table.
WASHINGTON, May 29.
SENATE.—The bill for the admission of
Colorado was passed over the President's
veto.
The reconstruction resolution was con-sidered.
Mr. .Tofinson moved to strike out
the third section, which disfranchises the
Confederates until 1870. The section was
stricken out by an unanimous vote—yeas
43, nays 0. Several amendments were
offered embodying the views agreed on in
the Republican causus. They exclude from
Federal and State offices those who hav-ing
been in mbers of Congress or Stale
Legislatures, or Judicial officers took part
in the insurrection, or gave aid and com-fort
thereto. Congress, however, may re-thirds.

Asheboro a week or two ago. WV1I, we
heard Dr. Sellars-say he would write, and
no doubt he did write. And he is a friend
of Billy Holden, too.
Never was Sancho Panza half so much
devoted to the honor and glory of his
knight as is Dr. Sellars to the renown of
his friend Holden. If Holden, like Don
Quixote "attack a flock of sheep,"Dr.
Sellars, unlike devoted Sancho, would never
whisper into Holden's ears, even privately
that they were sheep, but would swear all
the time they were "giants." Why should
not Sellars be more devoted ? Sancho re-ceived
the government of his much cove
t*3 island from a duke and not from his
mattter; while Dr. Sellars derived his gov-ernment
of the little kingdom of Randolph
directly from Holden himself, when no one
else would have favored him with the
government of an ass. Assuredly he should
be Ilolden's friend. Now, Mr. Editor, we
have a matter of importance to which we
would call your attention
At the close of our late county Court
we found the following bill of indictment

ATTEMPT TO ABANDON AN INFANT.—
On Tuesday night an unmarried woman
attempted to abandon her child, three
months of age, by concealing i; in a freight
car near the depot in this town. After con-cealing
the infant she started to Goldsboro
on the 10 o'clock train. The child was
discovered in time to intercept her escape
by telegraph, and she was brought back on
the return train. The woman is a native
of the eastern part of the State, of respec-table
parentage, and liberal education. She
appeared perfectly willing to give the
child over to any person who might want
it ; but as such articles are so easily made
to order in this country, no one seemed
disposed to accept her otfer.

LINCOLN KILLED ABOUT THH RIGHT
TiMi:.—It is really well to keep in mind
the manner m which many of the Radicals
received the news of the death of Lincoln.
The Rev. Mr. Motley, of Lima, Ohio, in
a speech delivered the day after the assas-sination,
said-
" I had noticed by the papers for a week
or ten days prior to the assassination, that
Mr. Lincoln was adopting and pursuing a
policy that would eventually bring these
scoundrels down South back, and give
them again the right ofsuffrage, and when
1 beard of the assassination, I just thought
to myself that Cod, in His inscrutable
Providence, had taken him (Lincoln) off
just about the right time.

Mrs. Margaret Strange, of this city, and

borrowed it himself, giving his bond se-cure'

against till those who were disposed to be
loyal, and to cherish s^ntiment-s of love
and attachment to the cause of the Union,
and the good union people of the county
by Ihe lhs'tiga.fon of^the "devil aiiu" his
coadjutors, to wit, the original secessi.mists

earnestness of his nature a certain proposi-tion
pending before said Court, to wit:
That a company of cavalry should be rais-ed
b) tha said county, equipped by the
said county, mounted by the said county,
Ted by th said county, and paid by the
said county, whose duties it should be to
"put down, and suppress, and crush out, by
the gnu, the pistol, the sword, the bayonet,
and the terrors ofdeath and bodily pains
all love lor the Union, and all demonstra-tions
of the good union people of said
county; in gross violation of his duties aud
allegiance as an American citizen—to the
manifest aiding and abetting of the odious
and detestable doctrine of secession, to the
evil example of all persons in the like case
offending, and against the peace and dig-nity
of the State;
And the jurors aforesaid on their oaths
aforesaid do further present that after-ward,
to wit on the day anil year aforesaid,
in the 04unity aforesaid, the said Dr. Seb
lats ii"< having the fear of God. before his
eyes or the love of the Union in his heart ;
but being moved and seduced by the in-stigations
of tlie devil, and the original se-cessionists

that Jonathan Worth ought to be hung,and
that he would be hung before the war
was over, the offences of the said Worth
being thai he »va a Union man, and op-posed
to the doctrine of secession, and

to have a paid company of spies on
Union men scattered over the county of
Randolph, declaring in the face of said
Seilars that twoor three old ladies with
their broom-sticks were quite sufficient to
prevent any breach of the law by Union
men. That all this was done by Dr. Sellars

case offending, in utter violation of his
duties and obligations to the Onion, to the
manifest aiding and abetting of the doc-trine
of secession, to the manifest loosening

Correspondence of The Ualtirioro Sun.
The surmise that the radicals in Con-gress
would assail the Secretary of the
Treasury on account of his adhesion to
the President's polioyof concilliation was
soon verified. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, tlie
radical leader, sounded the uhargb en Sat-urday
igajptt Mr. MoCuDooh, ind his par-ty
was expected to follow. The House
did rot, however, *M the propriety at the
time ofabolishing a constitutional provision
by a clause in a revenue bill, at the dicta-tion
of tin ir leader. Therefore. M r. Se-vens
will renew the attempt, at another
time, to take from the Secretary or the
President all appointing power that they
may have under the constitution. Mr.
.Morr-Il exhibited a comniemluM. deifea t<>
bannh paaty politics and topics froth ihe
consideration of the revenue bill.- The
republican Senate will resent and ljunish
the refractory cabinet minister in }soim:
other way—that is, by rejecting m nuta-tions
for office, and withholding pay fr. m
appointees until their nomination shall be
confirmed. Pernaps Mr. Stevens gamed
his entire object by taking an opportunity
to denounce the Secretary, and thus en-deavor
to diminish the confidence which
the public have reposed in him.
The republican senatorial caums will re-suit
in a proposition essentially to modify
the report of the committee of fifteen.—
Il the extreme radicals have come into
Mr. Sherman*! measure, which is doubtful,
it may command a two-thirds vole There
are nine democrats and three republicans
Who can be counted against it, only twelve
against thirty-seven. Mr. Morgan, Mr.
Wiley, and Mr. Stewart will propably
support the now plan, though till last
named Senator would prefer "his tXn.—
The new scheme will base represei'ition
00 voters, omit the third section wh» h de-prives
citizens of the right of votii,i. for
four years, and provide that cx-rebcBk shall
not be eligible t i State QV Fedeialj.flice.
If the radical extremists, to the njuiber
of live or six, support this or some jmitar
plan, they will carry it by tWO-tbiJds.—
The Senators, in caucus, it is gatd, nsid-ered
the subject of a recess of Congress,
and decided that it would be necessary.
If any one believes that the course of
such a paper as The MtdhmtmdEmminer
is lieneiicial to Southern interests, he is
much mistaken. Its bitter and virulent
denunciation of the Union Governor of
\ irginia is not enly uncalhd for, but is a
positive injury. When Gov. Pierpoint
lirst assumed the office of Governor, 1
uiV prospects seemi i rather dangerous,
every ^Virginian was loud in his praise.—
Even if he has not done exactly r ght sin.e
then, or acted in a way to please everybo-dy,
he deserves ere lit for doing as well as
he has. Let us he consistent; and while
frankly acknowledging that our sympathies
were with the Confederacy, let us treat
kind those Union men who treated us
kindly when we all considered ourselves
in imminent peril. The Richmond Ex-aminer,
by its unjust assaults upon {'resi-dent
Davis' administration, did much to
break down the Confederacy, while | pro-fessing
great friendship for the i aui / It
is now doing injury tothe south by in .
sarily abusing certain citizens of \ iftrinia
who are looked upon by the Governfnenl
as orignal Unii n men.—CharlotU
