Tbe following w tb letter of Chief Justice
B. M. Pearson, of North Carolina. bimlr a
Conservative, to the CootcrTatives of that otate,
which baa been alluded to in our despatches:
To the Von.iervatixe parly:
I am alarmed at the condition of the eouatrj
and fear we ate drlttino; into another cirll war,
Jn my opinion the "war cloud" are darkening
11 . ,u me tmerot 18G0-61. Wv were ,Utt
promised "peaceable geccsslonj ' we are now to
fcave "peaceable nullification." Under those
circumstances I feel it ' t'L 'n d
known the reasoning by which 1 have ftrriTea
It the conclusion that every man who hw m
interest at stake and who wishes h"? f"!
and avoid bloodshed, should roie fo r 0nt ad
Colfax. Being a memueru - .7 S
DBrty,
ana having uec- r
of the

of both panics by a unanimous vote m
the rcnpl's it is fair to presume that I have
their confidence, and that what 1 say will
l. .nln
be considered calmly, as me auvitc m
friend who has no motive save the public rooJ.
I trust to be held Justified, by the craereency,
for expressing mv opinion, and to be allowed to
do so, without belli drawn Into the vortex of
politics; with mv views allenco would be crimi
nal. God Almighty! forbid a war of races I
Violent politicians avow their purpose U agitate,
turn thlDRs upside down, nullity and bring on
another war, lather than submit to let the
negroes vote and hold office. B it is it not the
Tf f n i.intn nml nnti intism to accept "the
iituatlon," and try to make the most ot a bud
burealn, rather than make bad worse? I cannot,
as others seem to be able to d. exclude ironi my
mind ihe fact that the South attempted a revolu
tion aod was subjugated, and our condition is
one of the bittor fruits of rebellion! "Let us
have peace." This is the point on which my
opinion rests.
The Ken York Convention declares our State
Government a mere creation of usurpation, and
of com se not entitled to the allegiance ot tha
-people; aod it proclaims the Reconstruction
acts of Couiiiesa "unconstitutional, revolution
ary, and void" omutini? tne word null, leit it
niiubt call ud unpleasant recollections of the
das ot nullification, when the strong will of
Jackson prevented wur. If the Reconstruction
acts are void so are the reconduction measures
of Prcuidi.t Johnson, and the ueeroej arc still
slaves. This leads to war. But it is' said
Vlavrry add secession" are dead issues. Why
or how? Admit, however, that the only
object is to deprive the freedrnen of po
litical rights. Ilow can that be effected?
Boue say "it is to be done by the
ballot and not by the bayonet." How?
That's the question. The freedmen are now
in po6Pepiou ot the right to vote; ot course, if
they vote, the Constitution cannot bo amended,
bo the only mode is to carry out practically the
doctrine that ihe Reconstruction acts are void,
and our Constitution is of no effect. This Is
nullification, and dirtruise it as they may, it
mubt result in war. History furnishes no in
stances of four millions of people, backed as
they are, in our 8-ate, by a clear malority of
20,000 vote?, beiui? deprived of political riszhts
which they have enjoyed lor years. It cannot
lie done without a civil war. It is against the
order of nature.
My countrymen ! it is time to pause and refuse
longer to follow the lead of violent politicians.
We should discard prejudice und passion, and
art on our own judgment as to what should be
done under the circumstauces by which we find
ourselves surrounded.
The most violent members of any party, pro
vided that they can get members enough at the
start to make a respectable showing, always
carry their point, for reason is put aside, vitu
peration and abuse are hurled at all who hesi
tate "he is not a frieud of the South, he is a
traitor to his race and color, etc. etc." The
women and children (creatures ot feeling) Join
in the clamor, and so It goes. Sou and I were
opposed to secession, the bulk of the people
oppoie it, jet we were hurried into it. Alter
the ordinance, like true men, wo adhered to our
State, and rendered faithful ull.giance to the
Confederacy up to the surrender What did we
pain by it. I should rather atk, Who cau esti
mate what we lost by it ?
Let me ask, why did flennral Lee surrender?
Because he could not heloit! For the same
rea-on, we must submit to the political, not the
social (for thai is a thinir under our own con
trol) equality of the lreedmen. This is "the
eituation" the question is, (hall we go on and
again make bad woiee, or thai! we try to make
the best of it?
What is the ieaou that the negro vote, Instead
of being scattered, is concentraeed with the full
force ot a solid columu? it is carried by the
violent opposition made to the will ef the (Jene
rul Government in regard to reconstruction.
The freedmen have still an uudedueJ imprcs
Bion that there is still a wish to rcduee them to
Blavery. They certainly have a well-founded
belief that there is a determination to deprive
them of political equality.
This makes them "pull together;" remove the
presure and their vote will be neutralized, and
unless I mistake the power and effect of the
superiority ot tho white man, aided as he
is by education and the possession
of the wealth of the country, in a lew
years they will vote as before 1835.
My conclusion is, we must concede to the
freedmen political equality, if we cm only
Ba'.isly them we do so in good fa'th by voting
for (li ant and Colfax. Then there will be au
end of the strife. Tne contemplation of war
and bloodshed will be put far Iroui us. Tue
freedmen will become satisUcd that It Is lor their
pood interest to allow us to have tho guidance
of public affairs, and the inna'e poweraud vieor
ot the white man will convince the world that
we are able to carry a weight of toar millions
imposed on us by the unaccountable decrees of
Providence, and still work out our destiny as
tho grandest republ.c that has ever beeu known
amoug the rations.
It is inevitable that the conservatives must
split into two parties. The peace conservatives
aod the wur conservatives, or, to avoid Incon
sistency, ihe iiullihers. The difference is so
vital that they cannot act together as oue party.
The nullihers act with the Democrats. There
can be io reason why the conservatives, with
out ldcutifyinsr iheintelves with the Republi
cans, but keeping up their organization as a
party, a-:d leaving the nuHinors to bo to them
selves, may not act with ihe Republican purty,
and vote for Umut as the man lor tho occasiou,
who. like Jackson, will put a stop to nullirieu
tion in the new shape in which it now raises its
iiydra head.
Whe the storni Is over, the conservative paitv,
representing as it rioef, the property and lulelli
peiire ot the Slate, will take the gill liuice of
attain, and all will be well. R. M. I'eausox.

RAILROADS.
An Important announcement is m'le by
the authorities ot tho Virginia Central Ruilroad.
It seems that the postponement of toe vote on
tho proposed subscription by Aimusta county
has delayed the consol datum of the Company
into the i:he-apeake and Ohio Company, but It
is believed that this delay will not long con
tinue, lu the meantime the Central Railroad
Company propose to complete the road (rjiii
Covington to White Sulphur Spriugs without
delay, and now adverii-c lor proposals to do
the grading, undi-r authority already grautui
by law.
The railroad meeting at Montrose, Pa., on
Friday, wus euthuMusiic. Mr. B'.ovenson, engi
neer, rc ported that be had examined tho route
from MontroHO to HopooUr.m, tt disiauce of thir
teen miles, aod found It very feasible, with no
dillieult or expensive obtucpg to overcome
that the highebt graJe would not exceed one
hundred and twenty-live f-et to tho mile: and
that the road could be built und equipped or
$'50,000. A committee was appointed t0 cor.
jefpond wlih the Krie, D. L. and W. and Le
high Valley Railroad Companies as to terms of
connection.
The Uirdboro and Wilmington (Pa.) Rail
road is going ahead rapidly, owing to the energy
of the engineers and officers in change. The
fading is pretty Jar advanced all along the
line. Ihe purs end abutments of tho bridge
over the Hihuylkill at Hirdsboro are nearly
flLlbhcd. ThiB uiw road, when opened, will
brinfr to Reading a large trade In all branches of
business.
The Luzerne (Pa.) Union sayss "For seve
ral werks past an engineer corps has been en
gased in rnnning different lines through the
MahonlDg Vallcv, with a view to Intersect the
I-eblxh Valley Railroad at Lehighton." The
object evidently is to run the Little Schuylkill
Railroad through the Valley and turn tha exten
sive tonnage of that coal region Into the Lehigh
Vallev channel.
The land along Ibe track of the Delaware,
Lackawanpa, aud Western jti-
,u uc tympany, which cost ill 1837 bit $10 per
acre, it is stated now comminds $1000, making
the assets of the road over $40,000,900.
The annual report ol the R?celver of the
Atlantic aud Great Western Railway for the year
ending March 31, 1868, states that the net profits
of the last current year were $1,200,000, or six
per cent, on a capital ot $20,000,000.
The section ot the Kuropean ftnd North
American Railway from Milfoi 0 Passadun
keagr. Maine, will bo completed bo that the
regular trains will be run by November next,
rive hundred laborers are employed on th'3
track all the time.

morning- crowds of people wended their way
towards the Capitol lor the purpose of looking
for tbe last time upon tho familiar face of the
late Tkaddeus Bteven, and of witnessing the
funeral ceremonies prior to (he departure of tho
remains for Lancaster. At hulf-pa9t ecven

ISamec, Senators Sumner and McDonald, lion
Dennis Barnes, General Joseph A. Klein, Uiyor
Bowcd, and a large number of prominent ctti
zens of Washington; also, several of the Slaters
of Charity from Providence Hospital. The
services commenced at 8 o'clock, Bev. Dr
Emery, of this city, reading the Scripture. He

the Senate, who delivered a somewhat lengthy
discourse upon tho life and character of Ur.

Dr. Hamilton offered a prayer and pronounced a
benediction.
After the household and immediate friends of
the lamented dead had taken a last look of him

Tho London Jourg on the
Death of Inaddous
dtevons.
V AtlanttoOabU.
London, Aug. 14. Telegrams promptly re.
eclved from New York, announcing the death of
Thaddeus Stevens, created a most profound sen
cation, and nearly all the morning journals
have elaborate obituary notices.
R The Timet, after recounting Mr. Stevens' pro"
mment connection with tne recent lmpe ichment
project, and his views relative to tbe payment of
United States five-twenties, concludes its articla
as follows: 'The death of Thaddcus Stevens is
not now a public loss. Ills Impeachment policy
was of incalculable inlury to his political party,
and the financial dishonesty which he encou
raged dies with him. He was a fanatical, bitter
and self-willed man, but not mean or deceitful.
He is the Inst ot the leading Americans who had
the courage to rise above political partisan
ship." The Horning Telegraph says: ''Mr. Steven
was neither good, wise, nor generous, but in his
time did signal service, and, with all his faults,
merits tbe famous phrar.e 'That was a man."
The Daily JNewa says: "The death of Mr.
S'eveus leaves an important place unfilled, both
in the lead of his party and in the annals ot the
nation."
The other journals have articles expressing
similar views.

Another Eiprtii Robbery.
St. Lou is, Aug. 14. The Adams Express
Company has been robbed ot about $7000 in an
adroit manner. Two men rented an office oa
tbe second floor of No. 14 Second street yester
day, and put out a sign B. F. Goodrich & Co.
By last night's train tbe Express Company re
ceived a package from Odin, 111., addressed as
above, purporting to contain $147,00070. This
morning the package was delivered by a mes
senger, who, while waiting for a receipt, was
seized by the tbioat by a man ia the office, and
another applied chloroform to him.
Ihe messenger struggled valiantly, and not
yielding readily o the influence of tbe chloro
form, was 6tnu three heavy blows on the heal
with a bar of iron and knocked senseless. Tha
robbers then rifled the messenger's pouch of lta
contents and eEcaped. The packace was no
doubt a bogus one, and the whole affair a ''put
up" job. No clue to tha robbe-s haa been ob
tained. The messenzer, laiah Cross, is badly
hurt, having three uply wounds on his head and
being severely injuied in oue hand.

beeu In attendance yesterday up to a o'clock, and,
bis esse not bavins been rracbed. then went horn.
A few moments afterwards ctunsel far the prosecu
tion bad bis name called caused bis ball
to be forfeited, sued out a bucn warrant, and placed
It la tbe bands ol a police) an Instead of an oruoer of
tbe Court, as ibe rules require, rue policeman ar-
res'rd him ana tniew mm into ceil, wnere n wa
kept all ulKbl. Tbe gentleman then went ou to say
that such petty, malicious persecutions as this should
sot be tolerated by tbe Court, and If It was to be tha
prac.t ce to give bencb warrants to Doliceruen, ha
thought th whole bar sboBld know ft. Counsel oa
tbe other side explained that the bench warrant had
been onsuly applied fur aud granted, and th defsu
dant bad been placed in caatody according to the
rotes o' uouri.
His Honor distinctly said that such was not to b
tbe practice; thai the proems of the Court should ba
executed by the o racers of the Court, nnless the per

It was discovered that this elegant carriage

that, especially s tbe prisnaer saa oeen aiscnargaa,

bad previously bought goods, and to whom be then
owed a bill, and, staling that he had Just purchased
of P. H. cattergood Si Co. eight bogeueada of figs,

that be would pay bth bills ou the 4tb ot July, which,
were given him oa the faith of this statement. When
next s' en h was maklDg preparation for leaving

I he J ds said that tha faot of his having reprs)
tented ti.at be bad purchased ibe figs did not amouat
to a legal fain pretense, for he may have purcuaied
Ihem en credit, and not have been the owner of
theai; and ther was no evidence that this was not
tbe fact. Being Instructed that there was no case
within lb meaning ot the law, the Jury rtudered a
Verdict of not guilty. . ...
Tbe sam defeudaut and btl wire were tried upon
another bill, charglag the same offense, which met
Alexaude'rBea' was tried upon a charge of cruelty
to a berse, aud wa acquitted. Tbe police olllcer waa
lustiluled the prosecution appear d before th Judge,
