disturbed, and not destroyed, respectfully ask
your excellency to declare on the part of the
authorities of'the United States that the
State lias done her part and tbe government
relations have been reconciled.
Tlie convention instructed tlic legislature
to provide for the payment of the debts of the
State, and declare that all debts contracted in
aiil of tlie war to be illegal, nnd .prohibit
ed the payment of the same. Mr. B. said: We
have heard that, notwithstanding the State
might yield, and as I understand, has yielded
all that was involved in the war, and notwith
standing our people were submissive, well-
disposed, and anxious for forrncf relations, her
delegation in congress would not be admitted
unless they liad qualifications not prescribed
by the constitution; that they would be re
quired to take an oath which few men in the
State can take, affirming, not merely that they
arc right, but that they have never been wrong.
The exclusion of her delegates upon any such
test as suggested would be felt by our people
universally to be such a deep wrong-that it
would put their strong devotion to the gov
ernment and the lively hope of perfect re
conciliation to the severest trial. They can
understand the bitterness of tlie strife and
the aversion to treason, but tliev will be con
founded at the repulsion of offered friend
ship and avowed loyalty. The convention,
therefore, respectfully asks congress to repeal
the test oath. I have thought it respectful,
both to you and to congress, that this request
should pass through your hands, with the
hope that your Excellency’s magnanimity
would add to it some reflection which would
avail that body.
After further remarks by Mr. Rcadc, in
which he spoke of the confidence reposed in
liim by North Carolina, the president re
sponded as follows:
Hon. Mr. Reade, X receive from you with
pleasure a copy of the proceedings of tlio
convention of North Carolina. I appreciate
cordially tbe spirit of conciliation ill which
you have addressed me. The convention of
North Carolina has done much and well to
wards restoring that State to her proper na
tional relations, but something yet remains
to Ire done to render that restoration practi
cable. An acceptance of the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery throughout
the United States, by the legislature of North
Carolina, is, in my judgment, practically im
portant to the successful restoration which is
so mrtch desired by all. Without answering
specifically the questions you have propound
ed to me, it will be sufficient to say that my
action must depend upon events, and that
Mr. Holden will be again instructed to con

tional tank capital and issues to which she
will be entitled by her capital, business and
production. The rumor that only four mil
lions of national bank capital have been
yet assigned to the South is that no
application has been made for more. On the
best authority we may state that no definite
application for a national tank in the South
ern States, by Southern capitalists and busi"
ness men, has been refused by the comptroller
of the currency, and that none is likelv to be
The only question as to this matter" which
has arisen is, whether the comptroller of tlie
currency has.tbe power, under the existing
law limiting the amount ofnationnl currency
to reduce the amount of currency assigned to
the northern banks to the extent of the
amount to be assigned to the Southern States
This question may be left to congress, if thev
choose to act upon it. But the" probability
of any increase by congress of the limit fixed
by existing law to the amount of national
bank issues daily diminishes. The secretary
of the treasury and the comptroller of the
currency are steadfastly opposed to it;
It is also to be considered that a portion of
the legal-tenders are now’ finding their way
to the South in payment for cotton at the
present high rates, and that much of it will
remain their as a circulating medium.
The difficulty in the way of such a contrac-
tion as we have suggested, is, first, that the
government requires a revenue of three hun
dred millions, nnd it is argued that it will be
hard to raise that sum unless money be abun
dant. But expenditures may be, and must
anil will bo reduced, and the" revenue, when
collected, will go further in all government
expenditure, when the consequence of reduc
tion shall be felt in reduced expenses of liv
ing, and in , a decrease of the price of all
commodities.
A graver difficulty is presented by the New
York Journal of Commerce, in the fact that
“the secretary of treasury wiU have his hands
full to provide for his maturing payments, and
therefore cannot afford to disturb the market
in which lie must be a borrower for years to
come,” and that, within three years, tli'cre will
fall due nearly a thousand million in treasury
paper, which must be either funded or paid.
It may be admitted that it cannot be paid •
but that it can be funded in long bonds
we sec no reason to doubt, and perhaps at
even a lower rate of interest. If congress and
the executive government be disposed to ef
fect the necessary contraction of the currency
without a convulsion, which must occur, at
some time, if they shrink from this work, the
first step to be taken by them is to reduce
the public expenditures by a radical system
of retrenchment nnd economy: and the next
and equally necessary step must bo to raise,
by taxation, an amount exceeding the aggre
gate expenditure,•’and faithfully apply the
Stir]fins to the extinguishment..of.the,.public
debt.—KatioaaT ititclligcnlir.

OBITUARY.
' 200 Syrtl P Boilers, thirty .to one hundred Gallons,
e ach, at
asviUe, Ga., -Miss Axxie E. Carver, who was just
nineteen years of age. Seldom has It fallen to oar j
sad lot to record the death of one so beautiful aud
lovely as this young lady, who, like a spring flow
er, has been transplanted to bloom in the midst or j
the Paradise ol God. She possessed all the win- I
ning charms ofher sex, which constituted her the ;
cynosure of the social circle. Her countenance j
was radiant with the light of intelligence and af-!
fcction, the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit i
sparkled in her speech and deportment, and her i
heart was In holy harmonv with all the sweet cliar- j
Ities of life.
Following in the footsteps of a father of blessed
memory, she united with,the Presbyterian Church !
in this city, and adorned her holy profession by i
the practice of tchatsorer thing* arc pure loirhj and
of good report. The grace of God added new love- |
lincss to her natural graces and was to her em
phatically a crown of glory and adiadem of b.au-
ty Her last days were spent in repenting the
rich promises of the gospel, In rehearsing some of
the sweetest strains of sacred poetry, and in rumi
nating on the ravishing glories of tlic life everlast
ing. After a brief season of bodily suffering, she
fell asleep on the bosom of her Saviour God, and
was borne on Angel’s wings to the beatitudes of
tho Better Land.
This painful providence lias cast an airof gloom
over a large circle of sympathizing relatives nnd
friends, who sorrow not ns others who linvc no
hope. It will bo long ere the name of Axxie Car
ver is mentioned without tears.
“With us her name shall live,
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give
Our praises and our tears.”

Washington, Oct. 20,18C5.
Sir: Y’our letter of October lptli, with one
inclosed'in Tclation to furniture, lias been re
ceived. , , , , ,
In answer, I hate to ; say that the manufac
turer is liable,to a duty of six per cent, on
the entire value of all furniture (including
mattresses, feather bedding, bureaus,, tables,
washstands, chairs,, etc.,) he makes when tho
same is sold, or removed for sale, use or de
livery.
AYlien lie'’ buys articles of furniture .on
which the duty has been paid and morecom-
iletely finishes and fits them for use or sale,
jy upholstering, painting, varnishing, oiling,
etc., he is liable to a duty of six per cent, on
the increased value only thereof.
No deduction cau be allowed on tbe sale of
marble top furniture for the cost of .the mar
ble tops; though the duty may ha\*e been
paid thereon.
When a.piece ot carving becomes apart of
an article of furniture on which no duty lias
been paid, its value cannot be deducted from
the value of such articles of furniture, though
the duty may have been paid on the. piece of
carving.
Tlie increased ,vnhic.given an article bv
finishing is the price at. which it is'sold, fesV
the cost of the original article before fin
ishing.

Please help mypoOr family, my dear wife and

hare sacrificed all. I know you will excuse
me for troubling you again. Farewell, dear
