The Legislature.
This body is now under full teadway
and we may consequently soon espeei

Btruction, as exemplified by the legisi
latiou of this body.
That it will bo unjust and prescrip
tive in many respects, we can but ex
pect 1'roin the character of the members
composing it, while an almost total
abseuce of ability and statesmanship on
the part cf the radical majority of car
petbaggers, nat'iTe scallawags and nes
groes augurs but ill for the inaugura
tion of any measures looking to the
advaucemcut of the material interests
of the State.
The imported Yankees, who mis-rep-reseut

her Legislative Halls, strengthened by
the alliance of the so-called Governor,

whole control of affairs aud are push
ing forward their claims with an utter
disregard and contempt of the native

of the first few days proceedings aod in

of any importance transpiring at the

The Amnesty Proclamation.
The fourth of July was signalized
Iv the President in a manner worthv
of his position.
On that day was promulgated a proc

participants in the resistance which
terminated over three years ago to the
Federal government in the South.

who have violated the laws of war in

to aa act passed on Friday in the

will be seen that a fine of not less than
one thousand dollars, or two Years' im

is composed of six hundred andit&irty

Hoii. Horatio Seymour Nominated.
By a private telegram
we are able to announce
the nomination, on the twen
ty second ballot, of the Hon.
Horatio Seymour of New
York, as the Democratic
nominee for the next Presi
dency of the United States.
We have no time to eom
ent on this nomination, but
can only say that it will
cause a thrill of enthusiasm
throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
With Horatio Sevmour as
the Standard bearer of the
Democratic party, we have
no fear of defeat in November.

MR. SEYMOUR'S SPEECH.
&.c. Sic,
Nkw York, July G. The police
arrangements were inadequate this
morniug to keep back the surging
crowd, which so blockaded the passage
that the delegates had great difficulty
in makiug an entrance. At half past
ten the delegates were generally iu
their seats.
The Convention was called to order
at a quarter to eleven. Prayer by Rev.
Wihiaui Quinn.
The reading of the journal of Satur
day was dispensed with.
The delegation from the Working
Men's Convention were invited to seats.
The coniuiiitee on permanent organ
ization reported for President the name
of Hon. Horatio Seymour, of .New
York. Great cheering.
A Yice President and Secretary from
each State were receni mended.
The rules of the Democratic Con
vention of 1SG4 were also recommend
ed lor the government of the Conven
tion. The report was adopted and the
committee discharged.
The committee n resolutions asked
permission for consu'ta;iju during the
sessiou of the Convention. Agreed to.
The chair appointed Messrs JJiirler.
of Pennsylvania, an I Hammond, of
South Carolina, the committee to con
duct the permanent Presideut to the
chair.
Mr. Seymour proceeded to the plat
form amid great cheering, which was
long continued. He returned thanks
and counseled moderation, toleration
and harmony. lie said the mnst im
portant ouestions forced upon the con
sideiation of Convention were some of
those forced upon it by tlie resolutions

discussed briefly the Republican plat
form and accused that party of viola
ting its own declarations against repu
diation and unequal taxation and then
asserted solicitude for the soldiers' and
a lors' widows and orphans. lie ac
cused the now dominant part- of ex
travagantly wasting the public monies,
tiinting the national credit, expediting
immigration by over burdening labor
with taxation and breaking down all
con t utioml guaranties of rejublican
liberty. He denied the assertion of
the Republican Convention that the
Declaration of Independence is now
sacred on ever inch of American soil,
lor in ten States of the Union the mili
tary power suppresses the civil law.
EVENING DISPATCHES.
New York, July 6. A !arje num
ber of resolutions were offered aud re
ferred. Resolutions endorsing President
Johnson and applauding Chief Justice
Chase on the impeachment question
created applause.
The resolution urging universal am
nesty wit: out any exceptions was un
animously adoped.
The Convention then adjourned to
four o'clock:
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
will vote for Mr. Chase oa the first
ballot.
Mr. Pendleton's friends claim 103
votes on first ballot, but it is generally
believed they will require twenty or
thirty to make that.
Judge Chase's letter is published.
Tn alluding to suffrage and other do
mestic affairs, after expressing himself
in favor of according suffrage to all
citizens, Judu'e Chase says, '-On this
question I adhere to my State riht
doctrines. Iu the event of my ucsniua
tiou and success, I trust that nether
the great party which makes the norm
nation nor the great body of pa
triotic citizens, whose co-operation
would ensure success, would have cause
to regret their aetiou. It is an earnest
desire with me to see the Democratic
party meeting the question of the day
in the spirt' of the day, and assuring
to itself a long durati-ju of ascendency.
It can be so if it will."
The Convention resissembled.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Conven
tion presented an address, expressing
no preference for u candidate, but
breathiug harmony and confidence iu
the result.
The effort to overthrow the two
thirds rule failed.
The Convention adjourned at ix
o'clock, without taking a ballot or adop
ting a platform.

Governor Worth's Protest.
We give below the manly protest of
Governor Worth on surrendering the
office of Governor of the State to 31 r
Ilolden, the Provisional appointee of
General Can by :
State of XoRTn Caromva, 1
EXKCfTIVE DhPARTMKNT.
Kalcigh, July 1st, lr-68. )
Gov. VT. VT. IIoldex, Raleigh. N. C. :
tV: Yesterday morning, I was
verbally notified by Chief Justice Pear
s in, that in obedience to a telegram
from Gen. Can by, he wouid to day, at
10 A. M., administer to you the oaths
required preliminary to your entering
upon the discharge of the duties cf
Civil Governor of the State; anil that,
thereupon, you would demand posses
sion of my office.
I intimated to the Judge my opin
ion that such proceeding was prema
ture, even under the reconstruction
legislation of Congress, and that I
should probably decline to surrender
the office to you.
At sundown yesterday evening I re
ceived from Col. Williams, Command
ant of this Military Post, an extract
from the General Orders, No. 120, of
General Gauby, as follows :
"IIeapq'rs 2n Military Dist., )
Charleston, S. C, June 30, 1SG8. )

.EXTRACT.
"To facilitate the organization of the
new State Gawejrnujeut-, the following
appointments arc laade; To be Gover
nor of Xorth Carolina, V", W. Ilolden,
Governor, elect, vice Jonathan Worth,
removed; to be Lieutenant Governor
of North Carolina, Tod It. Caldwejl,
Lieutenant Governor -elect, to fill an
original vacaucy to take effect July
1st, 18GS, on the meeting ot the Gen
eral Assembly of North Carolina."
I do not recognize the validity of
the late election, under winch you, and
those co operating with you, claim to
be invested with the civil goverment
of the State. You have no evidence
of your election, save the certificate of
a Major General of the United States
Army.
I regard all of you as, in effect, ap
pointees of the Military power of the
United States, atd not as " deriving
your powers from the consent of those
you claim to govern." Knowing,
however, that y u are backed by Mili
tary force here, which I could not re
sist if I would, I do not deem it uc--ccssary,to
offer a futile opposition j but
vacate the office, without the ceremony
of actnal eviction, offering no fur
ther opposition than tbrif my protest.
I would submit to actual expulsion
in order to bring !efore the Supreme
Court of the Uoite'd States the question
as to the constitutionality of the legist
lation under whieh you claim to be
the rightful Governor of the State, if
the past action of that tribunal furn
ished any hope of a speedy trial.
I surrender the office to yona under
what 1 deem Military duress-, without
stopping as the occasion would well
justify, to comment upon the singular
coincidence, that the present State
Government is surrendered, a&icithout
legality, to him, whose own' official
sanction, but three years ago, declared
it valid.
I am very respectfully,
Jonathan Worth,
Governor of North Carolina.
From the Kaleigh Sentinel.
General Assembly ofNorth Carolina
BY AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.
Raleigh, .N. C, July 1. 1868
Pursuaut to a proclamation of W.
W. Ilolden, Governor elect of North
Carolina, the Senators elect convend
in the Senate Chamber in this city this
day.
The Senate having been called to or
der, lion. It. P. Dick, Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, administer
ed the oath prescribed in the new Con
stitution to the Lieut Gov. electyTod
fit. Caldwell, Esq., Hvho thereupon as
sumed the chair as President ot the
Seuate.
The President appointed Mr. Bar
row, Senator, of the 4th District, to
act as priucipal Clerk, and Mr. Sweet
of the 10th District, as Clerk pro tern.
The oath prescribed in the Constitu
tion was then adui.uistered to the fol
lowing Senators by Jud.e Dick, who
ckimcd to be under no political disabil
ity: Messrs. White, Etheridge, Martin
dale, Respass, Barrow, Ueasley, Eppes,
(negro) Bellamy, Rich. Sweet, Moore,
Colgrove, Legg, Galloway, (negro,)
Hayes, Harrington, llall, Cook, Brog
deu, Jones, of Wake, Wynne, flyman,
(negro,) Wiustead, Lassiter, Burns,
Shotfucr, Welkcr, Davis, Bceuian, Mel
chor, Bobbins, Long, Forkner, Mason,
Eaves, Smith and Llythe.
Certificates of election were present
ed by Messrs. Allen, Purdie, Turner,
Lindsay, Richardson, Wilscio, Jones,
of Caldwell, Moore and Love, and
were laid on the table because of al
leged disabilities. Several of the
Seuators submitted objections to the
ruliug. The President declared the
Senate orgauized aud ready for busi
ness. When the 22d District was called,
Mr. Turner, of Orange, offered his cre
dentials. The President aked if he was ban
ned by the Howard amendment ?
Mr. T. saul, that depended upon
what law we were organizing the Seuate
under. If we were acting under the
Constitution of North Carolina, neith
er the Howard amendment nor any
other amendment disqualified him. If
we are organizing under the acts of
Congtess and this was a provisional
government, then he vras required to
take the test oath, and so were all the
tjcuotors. ' lie wistied to ffnow uuW
what law we Were organizing. No one
here had authority to question his right
to a seat when hj offered Gen. Canby's
certificate of election. Could the peo
ple of Burke, who had elected the
Presideut of the Senate, say to the
people you iitu-t send a representative
to the Seuate that pleases us or our
representatives, or he must stand aside?
Mr. Turner's credentials were laid
upon the table. Subsequently Mr. T.
moved that the Senator from the 14th
District be called and allowed to quali
fy, lie had not answered to his name
when called. The Presideut subse
quently called Mr. T. to order, stating
that Mr. T. had no right to speak, as
the Senate was organized and his cre
dentials not received.
Mr. T. said he begged pardon, he
thought one member elect hud the same
rights as another.
The President explained : The Sen
ate was organized and the Senator could
appeal from his decision if he wished.
Mr. T. said he should be guilty of no
such bad maimers to the Chair. He
would not appeal.
Mr. Turner said he did not under
stand the Senate to be organized.
When he was ruled to silence, he knew
it was not. He then held up the cre
dentials of Mr. Melchor, Senator from
Cabarrus, and said he had been reques
ted by his friend to move that he be
allowed to qualify, but as it was out of
order for him to speaK, he would re
turn it to the Senator, which he did
without making the motion.
An unknown Seuator said every
Senator had been offered an opportuni
ty to qualify if he desired it.
Mr. T. said the President had denied
his right to participate in the discus
sion aud organization of the Sijnatj.
lie knew if he should ask permission
of the body to be heard, it would not
be denied.
The President stated that by con
sent, Mr. T. could be heard.
The vote being taken, it was unani
mous for Mr. T. to proceed.
Mr. Turner said the vote of the
Senate showed clearly that if he had
appealed from the decision of the Chair,
as invited, the Chair would not have
been sustained.
Mr. Turner said he did not know the
Senator who sat before him, his name
nor his district that he represented, but
from what had fallen from him he
knew be bad some sense of right, jus
tice and propriety ; he therefore asked
him to move that all Senators present
ing certificates be allowed to qualify.
He did not understand the action of
the Senate as that Senator did ; on the
contrary the permission Lad been re
fused to certain Senators to q-ualify.
It was now a question of brute force.
What right had the people of GranvUle,
Person and Burke, through their re
presentatives, to say to the people of
Orange, you shall not be heard on this
floor without my permission, when all
are elected under .the same law and au
thority ?
He could submit to the despotism of
military power, because there was no
help for it but hecsojd upx, lie would
not, submit in silence to the despotism
of civilians professing to act under the
constitutions and laws. He had the
same right to forbid the President ta
kiog his seat that he had to , forbid
him and no Senator had or could of
fer a reason why one Senator should
qualify and another should not.
The unknown Senator kept quiet and
made no motion, as Mr. Turner had re
quested. A. II. Galloway, negro, from New
Hanover, said, for Ms part, he could
sec no reason o authority for one
Senator to Question the . certificate of
another. The right of one Senator to
qualify was uite as good as another,
until tfe-e Hwoard ArueBsfuient was
adopted and it became a part of the
Constitution. No te3t oath could be
required now. He was Hot willing, t6r
did he think he had any authority, to
require oaths of others, except the oath
required of all.
Mr. Jones, of "Wake, said when he
was elected he had doubted whether he
would be able to take his seat, but bis
disabilities had Veen removed, and as
this was a serious question, he moved
the Senate adjourn uutil to-morrow, to
consider the question.
It then being one o'clock, the Senate
adjourned.

ed ti liie Senate to install the Lieutenant

Judge Keade called the House to order.

they will be requested to stand aside for
the present. I have no authority to ad.
minister the oath to any thus banned. I
shall qualify those whose names have been
published as having their disabilities re
moved by Congress."
He then proceeded to qualify those who
presented themselves in answer to their
names at the desk of the Clerk.

Bv Mr. Sinclair: The following resolu

Be it rexalesd by the General Assembly

tion be transmitted at o-ice to the proper
authorities at Washington, I). C.
Mr. Sinclair said now that the Hth Arti
cle was adopted, it was time to show the
olive branch. They were strong enough to
defend themselves from opposition- Oppo
sition was to be expected. In fact, it was
a privilege of a free government. It was
time that the voieo of the people should be
heard. It was true that they could not re
move the disabilities, but they should show
their spirit of kindness and toleration. He
hoped this resolution would not be choked
off, but, if it was to be rejected, he desired
that the years and nays might be callad,
and that every I am might go fully and
squarely on record.
Mr. Abbott opposed the resolution, and
said, in his remarks, that he first wished to
see signs of real repentance. He did not
consider it prudent, at this early stage of
the session, to go into this ornamehtat irorlc
of clemency, and that sort of thing, but
thought they should rather fortify and
strengthen themselves. He was as much
disposed io kindness, where he thought it
wo4ld be met in a proper spirit, as any man,
and when it would redound to the public
good. He moved to lay the resolution on
the table.
Mr. Sinclair called for the years and
nays. The call was sustained, and resulted
in th following vote:
