publish below some extracts from the slate press to show how the conduct of got caldwell is regarded by the pub lic we say the ptiblie because although we quote from the conservative papers yet we have seen no endorsement of gov caldwell's recent usurpations by the rad ical papers their silence is ominous and bodes no good for the governor — the governor must have indeed strayed far out of llie right track if his own party papers cannot defend iiim we shall give further extracts from our exchanges from day to day we have only room for the following for to-day's paper l'roiii tlie wilmongton journal * # # • * the governor makes no attempt we s:iv to sustain his action through the courts of law nor does lie follow in the footsteps of his predecessor aud invoke the strong arm of the military neither martial nor civil law promising anything in aid of his purposes cor caldwell has resorted to another means so abhorrent to humanity that it is scarce • ly to be believed incredible however s it may seem it is irane the less true that the governor of north carolina has combined with officers of the executive department to obtain control of the state institutions referred to aud in the event of an appeal to the courts of law to decide the right be tween his appointees and those of the legislature to starve the iu mates even unto death a more fiendish diabolical malignant scheme was never devised or executed the consequences of this barbarous savagery of the monster of inhumanity who is now in consequence of the crimes of his predecessor governor of north carolina falls more lightly upon the in mates of the asylum tor the deaf and dumb and blind for the reason ihey can be sent home and there carted for until the controversy is settled aud we learn that the officers iu charge of the institution have determined as soon as the funds on hand are exhausted to anticipate the regular summer vacation the friends of these poor unfortunate victims cursed before they were born need not have any apprehension nor bo alarmed lest they snffeer for food * * # # # # the spectacle thus presented to our j gaze is one that shocks every feelliug of ; humanity human l.uiiru.iire is utterly inadequate to portray the enormity of sunk conduct ' on the part of the chief magistrate of a civilized people if tlm appointees of the legislature are wrongfully in possession the law points out a peaceful bnmane i speedy mode of ousting them the courts an pen and presided over by the per sonal and polical friends ol the governor he will not appeal to them he requires j his orders to be obeyed or the innocent and guilty the sane and the insane alike are to be starved to death people of north carolina behold your governor ! from the goldsboro messenger the he'njhlli of radic d villainy — there is no day passing that the radicals i do not manifest a desire to " rule or ruin j jn our own state tod r caldwell the j accidental governor is just now playing j a heavy lole of the malicious tyrant — ' when a few weeks ago he undertook to deprive the state i'i inter of tho printing ; awarded him by the legislature cald well was defeated in his evil designs by j a radical judge # * * * the state of affairs at the state prison are just now deplorable the prisoner are on half rations because caldwell re ! fuses to recognize the officials in charge this has called forth another letter to the governor from mr m a blodsoe who is the president uf the penitentiary board from the tarboro southerner * # * * the latest and most monstrous exhibi tion of arbitrary and unlawful power on ' the part of the mountebank radical gov j ernor is his course in the matter of peni j lentiary and deaf and dumb asylum under ihe abominable decision of the supreme court in the cusp of clark vs stanley — a case that judge moore virtu j ally set aside — this man caldwell has taken upon himself the authority to oust the old and regular directors and ap point a set of his ready tools and syco phants the old boards were duly ap pointed bv the legislature and up to this time caldwell has recognized them as lrraal and endorsed all all requisitions for /*• 1 money made ic-r carrying on the institu tions he now appoints a new board for the peniieuliary and refuses to allow the old any means from the treasury to buy provisons for the convicts the old board sustained by law and authority of the legislature refuse to give way to the command of the governor and the consequence is that the prisoners in toe penitentiary have been put upon half rations and locked up to prevent a revolt unless the governor backs down from his unwarranted position there is dancer of a serious outbreak on the part of the convicts it may well be asked is the governor seeking to have three hundred of his party friends released from the peniten ti try that that they may vote for him in august election v we have been gov erned long enough by the will of the radical party ; let the constitution and the laws prevail for a while from the raleigh sentinel upon whose hands is the blood of 11 art s field ? not upon the guard for they were four times fired at before they returned the fire if gov caldwell had obeyed the law and furnisled money as he has done for twelve months there had been nothing of this we have more than once suggested a meeting of the citizens of this city to knee by the weight of public seiitimenta compliance with the law we are glad to learn tint the people of franklin have assemblednnd spoken in respectful terms their opinion to the governor will ihe people of raleigh await fur ther bloodshed before they speak ! governor and governed must all be amenable to the law from the wilmington star of all the official swell heads we ever knew we think his accidental excel lency the mast conceited and wrong headed his way is the best way his idea the right one lib will is law and there must b no going behind his simple thus saith tod caldwell governor of north carolina * ***** the latest fantastic trick that our mountebank cromwell has tried to day before high heaven and his gapping parly friends is in the matter of the appoint ments of directors for the penitentiary and insane asylum * * * * tne first act in this drama the effort to taira the public printing from the person le gally authorized to do the work for the suite was a complete flash in tlie pan and recoiled upon his accidency with laughable elf.ct but the poor i.ifatua ted imbecile creature of eircimisanccs cannot see how great a fiasco l has made but drives wooden head once more upon the stone-wall of law and right to meet another disaster hut there is another aspect of this matter the public interests suffer while this lillipution contest is being wagtd — notice has been given that no more con victs can be received at the penitentiary until " this cruel war is over here the interest of justice and the public safe ty are brought to a standstill at the irate and irresponsible dictate of a stubborn governor who wantonly trample on the laws ot the slate people of north car olina ! contemplate the beaut of this situation and this aiiiiabla rule of this radical parly that knows no law but the license of iis own sweet will ! behold your governor ! see him tread in dis dain upon every principle of law justice and liberty and make a mock of your own elected representatives see the man who despises you and lifts his corrumpt party up over your heads sliming polla tincr degrading ruinning the mate whosi constitution and laws he&woreto uphold ! the man the creature the despot i before volt ! judge him ! i l gov vance and amnesty pending the passage of one of the bills granting amnesty to individuals named therein in the house representatives hist week speaker blaiue caiie.-i atten tion to the fact the name of gov vajsce of north carolina was inserted in one oi them contrary to the exceptions agreed upon hy members llie following col loquy ensued : mr shobei — i do not know by whose authority the name referred to was insert ed in the bill but the geutleraan in ques tion does not come within the category to which the speaker refers the speaker — has he not been a member of congress ? mr shober — he was a member of congress but he did not resign his seat to take part in the secession movement the speaker — that is not the point — the questiou is whether while he was a member of congress he withdrew there from aud aided the rebellion mr shober — ho did not withdraw until on the 4th of march 1861 his term expired and he was a candidate for re election at the time north carolina sece ded from the union the speaker — the chair is misinformed then as to the precise facts of the case the disposition of the house has been and is most generous and the chair has been extremely anxious that this might not be abused mr shober i presume some one of my colleagues inserted the name of gov vance in the bill in the spirit whieh the chair seems to intimate the speaker the chair is entirely uniaformed what gentleman put it in * * * * * * mr wadded — i desire to say one word as i am one of the north cariliua dele gal ion here 1 do not know who insert ed the name of mr vance whoever did insert it in the bill has nut so far as i knuw violated any understanding tacit or otherwise of the house the house has instructed the communicatian on the judiciary to report an amnesty bill the speaker the chair does not de sire argument upon that point j he ques tion of amnesty i not now before the house mr waddell — mr vance however ob noxious he may be personally to gentle men does not come within the provisions ofthe law lie did not withdraw irani his seat in congress and take part in the rebellion his term had expire and he was a candidate for re-election at the time the state seceded the speaker — the gentleman well knows that had it been stated yesterday when a call for aira.esiy bills was made that the name of mr vance was iucludi d it would have elicited discussion and ob iection in the house mr waddell 1 do not know that it would have defeated the bill at all in the afternoon mr leach rose to the following personal explanation : mr leach upon coming into this hall this morning after the house had met i was iufoiuied by my colleagues that some excitement had grown out of the announcement of the fact that the name of governor z b vance of north carolina appeared among the names pre sented on yesterday for incorporation in a bill for the removal of disabilities and it was stated by yourself 21 r speaker as i understand that you were sorry the member who presented h r s name was lot present to avow it and ask to have it withdrawn ir i presented that name and i ditl it in view of wliat 1 thought to be the duty that involved upon me as a : member of this house it is a fact known i suppose to the â– whole house that governor vance is not one of those excluded by any ruleor vote . of this house he was a member of con gress with me before the war and we | remained here acting and voting as i'n ion men until the expiration of our term and the inauguration ofthe late lamented ' president lincoln this house has by three urths or four-fifths majorty passed not h-es than four or five bills removing tbe disabili.s of governor vanee more than that sir lis relief is recommended by ex gov holden of north carolina and also i h ive understood by the present governor j gov caldwell ; and i believe all five of the republican judges of the snpreme i court of my state in addition to that the legislature of north carolina em : bracing one hundred and seventy mem | hers and containing a large republican minority passed with but nine or ten dissenting votos a resolution which was tut to this congress asking for the re moval of the disabilities of gov vance these sir are facts which stand upon ' record ; and i take occasion to say now : and here that those v ho knew me know that 1 am incapable of ray co..duct in compatible with the character of a gentle man or of taking any improper advantage iu any matter of this kiial now sir as this house had passed several i ills for thu removal of the di.-a bilities of gov \ ance and as he was not embraced iu the classes which have been excluded in the general bills 1 bad it right to present his name in tbe manner 1 did a that of a warm personal friend and a generous hearted men ; and in so doing 1 was representing the people of my state i know that i was represent ing nineteen-twentieths of more than two hundred and twenty thousand voters of north carolina of both parties and both races i know sir that gov vance with whom i am well acquainted would be the last man iu the world to have his 'â– name standing iu a hill as an obstacle to i the removal of the disabilities ot anybody \ ; in the simplicity of my nature in the honesty of my heart with a siiicere'pur p-.sc to do wbatl thought right and what 1 thought justified by thu bills wbich this house passed last spring and again last winter and i believe a^ain this spring by four fifths majority for the removal of gov v t aiice's disabilities 1 introduced his name in the bill presented yesterday ; and in doing so 1 do not understand that i have committed any unpardonable sin — if 1 had supposed it to be in conflict with any unde standing agreed upon in this bouse i certainly would not have done so 1 would not upon any consideration have introduced the name of any man whom i understood to be embraced in the excluded classes feeling that in making this statement 1 have discharged my duty in this regard and regretting that i was not present when the question was brought up i thank the house for indulging me in this expla nation vo*v take your home taper the

publish below some extracts from the slate press to show how the conduct of got caldwell is regarded by the pub lic we say the ptiblie because although we quote from the conservative papers yet we have seen no endorsement of gov caldwell's recent usurpations by the rad ical papers their silence is ominous and bodes no good for the governor — the governor must have indeed strayed far out of llie right track if his own party papers cannot defend iiim we shall give further extracts from our exchanges from day to day we have only room for the following for to-day's paper l'roiii tlie wilmongton journal * # # • * the governor makes no attempt we s:iv to sustain his action through the courts of law nor does lie follow in the footsteps of his predecessor aud invoke the strong arm of the military neither martial nor civil law promising anything in aid of his purposes cor caldwell has resorted to another means so abhorrent to humanity that it is scarce • ly to be believed incredible however s it may seem it is irane the less true that the governor of north carolina has combined with officers of the executive department to obtain control of the state institutions referred to aud in the event of an appeal to the courts of law to decide the right be tween his appointees and those of the legislature to starve the iu mates even unto death a more fiendish diabolical malignant scheme was never devised or executed the consequences of this barbarous savagery of the monster of inhumanity who is now in consequence of the crimes of his predecessor governor of north carolina falls more lightly upon the in mates of the asylum tor the deaf and dumb and blind for the reason ihey can be sent home and there carted for until the controversy is settled aud we learn that the officers iu charge of the institution have determined as soon as the funds on hand are exhausted to anticipate the regular summer vacation the friends of these poor unfortunate victims cursed before they were born need not have any apprehension nor bo alarmed lest they snffeer for food * * # # # # the spectacle thus presented to our j gaze is one that shocks every feelliug of ; humanity human l.uiiru.iire is utterly inadequate to portray the enormity of sunk conduct ' on the part of the chief magistrate of a civilized people if tlm appointees of the legislature are wrongfully in possession the law points out a peaceful bnmane i speedy mode of ousting them the courts an pen and presided over by the per sonal and polical friends ol the governor he will not appeal to them he requires j his orders to be obeyed or the innocent and guilty the sane and the insane alike are to be starved to death people of north carolina behold your governor ! from the goldsboro messenger the he'njhlli of radic d villainy — there is no day passing that the radicals i do not manifest a desire to " rule or ruin j jn our own state tod r caldwell the j accidental governor is just now playing j a heavy lole of the malicious tyrant — ' when a few weeks ago he undertook to deprive the state i'i inter of tho printing ; awarded him by the legislature cald well was defeated in his evil designs by j a radical judge # * * * the state of affairs at the state prison are just now deplorable the prisoner are on half rations because caldwell re ! fuses to recognize the officials in charge this has called forth another letter to the governor from mr m a blodsoe who is the president uf the penitentiary board from the tarboro southerner * # * * the latest and most monstrous exhibi tion of arbitrary and unlawful power on ' the part of the mountebank radical gov j ernor is his course in the matter of peni j lentiary and deaf and dumb asylum under ihe abominable decision of the supreme court in the cusp of clark vs stanley — a case that judge moore virtu j ally set aside — this man caldwell has taken upon himself the authority to oust the old and regular directors and ap point a set of his ready tools and syco phants the old boards were duly ap pointed bv the legislature and up to this time caldwell has recognized them as lrraal and endorsed all all requisitions for /*• 1 money made ic-r carrying on the institu tions he now appoints a new board for the peniieuliary and refuses to allow the old any means from the treasury to buy provisons for the convicts the old board sustained by law and authority of the legislature refuse to give way to the command of the governor and the consequence is that the prisoners in toe penitentiary have been put upon half rations and locked up to prevent a revolt unless the governor backs down from his unwarranted position there is dancer of a serious outbreak on the part of the convicts it may well be asked is the governor seeking to have three hundred of his party friends released from the peniten ti try that that they may vote for him in august election v we have been gov erned long enough by the will of the radical party ; let the constitution and the laws prevail for a while from the raleigh sentinel upon whose hands is the blood of 11 art s field ? not upon the guard for they were four times fired at before they returned the fire if gov caldwell had obeyed the law and furnisled money as he has done for twelve months there had been nothing of this we have more than once suggested a meeting of the citizens of this city to knee by the weight of public seiitimenta compliance with the law we are glad to learn tint the people of franklin have assemblednnd spoken in respectful terms their opinion to the governor will ihe people of raleigh await fur ther bloodshed before they speak ! governor and governed must all be amenable to the law from the wilmington star of all the official swell heads we ever knew we think his accidental excel lency the mast conceited and wrong headed his way is the best way his idea the right one lib will is law and there must b no going behind his simple thus saith tod caldwell governor of north carolina * ***** the latest fantastic trick that our mountebank cromwell has tried to day before high heaven and his gapping parly friends is in the matter of the appoint ments of directors for the penitentiary and insane asylum * * * * tne first act in this drama the effort to taira the public printing from the person le gally authorized to do the work for the suite was a complete flash in tlie pan and recoiled upon his accidency with laughable elf.ct but the poor i.ifatua ted imbecile creature of eircimisanccs cannot see how great a fiasco l has made but drives wooden head once more upon the stone-wall of law and right to meet another disaster hut there is another aspect of this matter the public interests suffer while this lillipution contest is being wagtd — notice has been given that no more con victs can be received at the penitentiary until " this cruel war is over here the interest of justice and the public safe ty are brought to a standstill at the irate and irresponsible dictate of a stubborn governor who wantonly trample on the laws ot the slate people of north car olina ! contemplate the beaut of this situation and this aiiiiabla rule of this radical parly that knows no law but the license of iis own sweet will ! behold your governor ! see him tread in dis dain upon every principle of law justice and liberty and make a mock of your own elected representatives see the man who despises you and lifts his corrumpt party up over your heads sliming polla tincr degrading ruinning the mate whosi constitution and laws he&woreto uphold ! the man the creature the despot i before volt ! judge him ! i l gov vance and amnesty pending the passage of one of the bills granting amnesty to individuals named therein in the house representatives hist week speaker blaiue caiie.-i atten tion to the fact the name of gov vajsce of north carolina was inserted in one oi them contrary to the exceptions agreed upon hy members llie following col loquy ensued : mr shobei — i do not know by whose authority the name referred to was insert ed in the bill but the geutleraan in ques tion does not come within the category to which the speaker refers the speaker — has he not been a member of congress ? mr shober — he was a member of congress but he did not resign his seat to take part in the secession movement the speaker — that is not the point — the questiou is whether while he was a member of congress he withdrew there from aud aided the rebellion mr shober — ho did not withdraw until on the 4th of march 1861 his term expired and he was a candidate for re election at the time north carolina sece ded from the union the speaker — the chair is misinformed then as to the precise facts of the case the disposition of the house has been and is most generous and the chair has been extremely anxious that this might not be abused mr shober i presume some one of my colleagues inserted the name of gov vance in the bill in the spirit whieh the chair seems to intimate the speaker the chair is entirely uniaformed what gentleman put it in * * * * * * mr wadded — i desire to say one word as i am one of the north cariliua dele gal ion here 1 do not know who insert ed the name of mr vance whoever did insert it in the bill has nut so far as i knuw violated any understanding tacit or otherwise of the house the house has instructed the communicatian on the judiciary to report an amnesty bill the speaker the chair does not de sire argument upon that point j he ques tion of amnesty i not now before the house mr waddell — mr vance however ob noxious he may be personally to gentle men does not come within the provisions ofthe law lie did not withdraw irani his seat in congress and take part in the rebellion his term had expire and he was a candidate for re-election at the time the state seceded the speaker — the gentleman well knows that had it been stated yesterday when a call for aira.esiy bills was made that the name of mr vance was iucludi d it would have elicited discussion and ob iection in the house mr waddell 1 do not know that it would have defeated the bill at all in the afternoon mr leach rose to the following personal explanation : mr leach upon coming into this hall this morning after the house had met i was iufoiuied by my colleagues that some excitement had grown out of the announcement of the fact that the name of governor z b vance of north carolina appeared among the names pre sented on yesterday for incorporation in a bill for the removal of disabilities and it was stated by yourself 21 r speaker as i understand that you were sorry the member who presented h r s name was lot present to avow it and ask to have it withdrawn ir i presented that name and i ditl it in view of wliat 1 thought to be the duty that involved upon me as a : member of this house it is a fact known i suppose to the ■whole house that governor vance is not one of those excluded by any ruleor vote . of this house he was a member of con gress with me before the war and we | remained here acting and voting as i'n ion men until the expiration of our term and the inauguration ofthe late lamented ' president lincoln this house has by three urths or four-fifths majorty passed not h-es than four or five bills removing tbe disabili.s of governor vanee more than that sir lis relief is recommended by ex gov holden of north carolina and also i h ive understood by the present governor j gov caldwell ; and i believe all five of the republican judges of the snpreme i court of my state in addition to that the legislature of north carolina em : bracing one hundred and seventy mem | hers and containing a large republican minority passed with but nine or ten dissenting votos a resolution which was tut to this congress asking for the re moval of the disabilities of gov vance these sir are facts which stand upon ' record ; and i take occasion to say now : and here that those v ho knew me know that 1 am incapable of ray co..duct in compatible with the character of a gentle man or of taking any improper advantage iu any matter of this kiial now sir as this house had passed several i ills for thu removal of the di.-a bilities of gov \ ance and as he was not embraced iu the classes which have been excluded in the general bills 1 bad it right to present his name in tbe manner 1 did a that of a warm personal friend and a generous hearted men ; and in so doing 1 was representing the people of my state i know that i was represent ing nineteen-twentieths of more than two hundred and twenty thousand voters of north carolina of both parties and both races i know sir that gov vance with whom i am well acquainted would be the last man iu the world to have his '■name standing iu a hill as an obstacle to i the removal of the disabilities ot anybody \ ; in the simplicity of my nature in the honesty of my heart with a siiicere'pur p-.sc to do wbatl thought right and what 1 thought justified by thu bills wbich this house passed last spring and again last winter and i believe a^ain this spring by four fifths majority for the removal of gov v t aiice's disabilities 1 introduced his name in the bill presented yesterday ; and in doing so 1 do not understand that i have committed any unpardonable sin — if 1 had supposed it to be in conflict with any unde standing agreed upon in this bouse i certainly would not have done so 1 would not upon any consideration have introduced the name of any man whom i understood to be embraced in the excluded classes feeling that in making this statement 1 have discharged my duty in this regard and regretting that i was not present when the question was brought up i thank the house for indulging me in this expla nation vo*v take your home taper the following is taken
