mary meetings in evert county, to elect dele
gates to the General State Convention, to as
semble in this citv on the first Wednesday in,
September next. S
Chief Justice Chase is receiving members of'
the bar now in the city. He has created » fa
vorable impression, and the utmost cordiality
prevail*.
At Ihq opening of the Uuited States Circuit
'CLis ruoruiug, in the Senate Chamber, a large
number of distinguished members ot the bar
were present. Before proceeding to business,
Clue! Justice Chase made the following re
•marks:
Practitioners and Gentlemen of the Mar t *
Before proceeding to the regular business, 1
think it proper to address a few observations
to you. For more than four years the courts
of the Union were excluded from North Caro
lina by rebellion. When active hostilities
ceased,* in 1865, the national military authority
took trie place of all ordinary civil jurisdiction
and controlled Us exercises. All courts, whether
State or National, were subordinate to military
supremacy, and acted, when they acted at all,
under such limitations and in such cases as the
commanding general, under the direction oi
the President, thought fit to prescribe—their
process.might be disregarded and their judg
ments and degrees set aside by military orders.
Under these circumstances, the Justices of the
Supreme Court who attended to the circuits
which included tbe insurgent Btates, abstained
from joiuing the District Judges in holding the
Circuit Courts. Their attendance was unneces
sary, lor the District Judges were fully author
ized by law to hold the Circuit Courts without
the Justice of the Supreme Court, and to
exercise complete, jurisdiction in the trial
of all criminal and almost all civil cases.—
This attendance was unnecessary for another
reason, the military tribunals, at that time and
under the existing circumstances, were com
petent to the exercise of all jurisdiction, crimi
nal and civil, which belongs, under ordinary
circumstauees.to Circuit Courts. Being unneces
sary, the Justices, thought that their attendance
wou’.d'be improper and unbecoming. They re
garded it as unfit in itself and as injurious in
many ways to the public interests, that the
highest officers of the Judiciary Department of
the Government should exercise-their functions
uuder the supervision and control of the Exe
cutive Department. At loiigth, however, the
military control over the civil tribunals was
withdrawn by the President, the writ ol habeas
corpus , which had been suspended, was restored
and military authority in civil matters was
abrogated. This was effected partially by the
proclamations of April 2d, and fully by the pro
clamation of August 22d, 1866. Those
proclamations reinstated the full authori
ty of the National Courts in all matters
within their jurisdiction and the Justices of
the Supreme Court expected to join the
District Judges in holding the courts
during the interval between the terms at
Washington. On the 23d day of July, 1866,
however, an act of Congress relieved the num
ber of the circuits and changed materially the
districts of which the Southern circuits were
composed, without making or providing for
an allotment of the members of the Sqpreme
Court to the new circuits, aud without such
allotment, the Justices of that court have no
circuit jurisdiction. The effect, of the act be
fore was to suspend the authority of Justices
to hold the Circuit Courts in the altered cir
cuits. This suspension was removed by the
act of March 2d, 1867, by which anew allot
ment was authorized under this act. The Jus
tices of the Supreme Court have been agaiu
assigned to circuit duties, aud the Chief Jus
tice has beeu allowed to hold with the Dis
trict Judges the Natioual Courts in the circuit
of which the District of North Carolina is made
a part. lam here, therefore, to join my broth
er, the District Judge, iu holding the Circuit
Court for this District. It is the first Circuit
Court held in any District within the iusurgeut
States, at which a Justice of thd Supreme
Court could be present without disregard ot
superior duties at the seat of Government, or
usurpation of jurisdiction. The Associate Jus
tices alloted to the other Southern Circuits
will joiu iu holding the courts at the regular
terms prescribed by law, aud thus the National
Civil Jurisdiction will be fully restored through
out the Union. It is true that military authori
ty is still exercised within these Southern Cir
cuits, but not now as formerly. In consequence
of the disappearance of local authority, aud in
supervision or control of all tribunals, whether
State or National, it is used under acts of Con
gress aud is only to prevent illegal violeuce to
persons and property and to facilitate the re
storation of equal rights and benefits •in tbe
Union. This military authority docs not extend
iu any respect to the courts of the United
States. Let ns hope that, henceforth neither
rebellion nor any -other occasion for tbe asso
ciation of any military authority over courts of
justice will hereafter suspend the due course of
judicial admiuistration by the National tribu
nals in any part of the Republic.
The remainder of the session, the court con
sumed in hearing unimportant eases aud mo
tions.

urer, Attorney General, Judges ot the Supreme

Hour and other commodities.
Fifth. All persons who voluntarily joined
the rebel army, and all persons in that army,
whether volunteers or conscripts, who commit
ted voluntarily any hostile act, thereby en
gaged in insurrection or rebellion ; any person,
however, who was forced ipto the rebel army,
but avoided, as far as possible, doing hostile
act 6, and escaped from that army as soon as
possible, cannot be said to have engaged in the
rebellion. *
Sixth. All who exercised the functions of any

aud who will be most likely to detect and ex
pose any attempt at fraudulent registration.—

ZREIvd.A.rtKS-
Ccttox -During the early part of the week under
consideration, the market maintained the buoyancy
which characterized the closing days adverted to in our
last report, and sale* were effected at full prices, say,
25.’s for strict middling. On Thursday the market
became somewhat weaker by reason of a decline in
Liverpool and New York markets. This depression
continues, and in view of the heavy receipts at Liverpool
and the large lots en route forthaf and other European
ports, the prospect for an advance Is not encouraging
A general belief, (which we fear is too well founded,)
that our planters have, this spring, gone much more
extensively into the production of the staple than they
did last year is another cause which tends to prevent
any great increase jn price.
India Cottons have, furthermore, become an Im
portant feature? in the trade, and its cultivation is
yearly on the increase. The limited demand for manu
iactured goods in all the chief markets of both Europe
and America is another obstacle in the way of any
remarkable advance in the raw material.
1 herq are still other causes operating to depress the
market, aud chiefly among them the recent heavy
failure.! among large cotton holders in Liverpool,
disturbing confidence, and adding to the diffienhies of
negotiating bills.
The receipts for the Week, are 181 bales, while the
sales are 703 bales.
Bacon.—The trade has been quiet during the week
on ing, probably, to tlie occupation of farm. is at home
in harvesting. The movement, North and West, has
been upward of about # c.; but has not yet acted on
our market; which stands at 11* @ 14*, for shoulders
and C. R. Sides; which are most in demand, white
meat sells well, at 13* for C. R. Hams are in good
supply, and only sell well for small choice qualities.
Corx has given way, somewhat; but, owing to
light stock and receipts, has not yielded as much as
was looked for, offerings being promptly taken 1 50, in
depot.
Wheat has come into market, and l>een sold at 3 00
The receipts will probably* be in a larger scale during
the coming week, when prices are looked for to rule
somewhat lower.
Oats are taken readily at 1 00. The demand for
Cow Peas for planting yet continues, and the market
is somewhat vacillating, some sales being made at a
wide margin from 2 75, which is the quotation.
Cotton Goods are rather more active at the re
duction in figures, and it is thought that they are now
at their lowest.
Flour is looking closely for a decline, which will be
considerable, a small amount of choice has gone off at
19 00 @ 20 00.
Buttbr is in larger supply, and does not meet ready
sale except it he of excellent quality.
* FINANCIAL.
Gold and Bilvir.—The supply this week has not
been equal to the demand, and prices are fully main
tained. Brokers during the entire week bought at 136
and sold at 137 ; Silver, 128 and sold at 132.
Exchange.—The only National Bank with us checks
at par, on all the northern cities—out door rates %to
X oft’. In Bonds and Stocks but little doing. We re
port the sales of about 200 shares of Georgia Rail Road
Stock at 70, and the supply on sale limited.
