After all that has been said and writ. ten about the present military and 'civil governrpent of North Carolina, it may be doubted whether the condition and extent of the two are well understood by our citizens. At any rate, we are -disposed to assume as a certainty that the condition is not plainly understood, and to make one more effort to explain it. First. What is the power of the mili. tary of the United States stationed here ? North Carolina is a. nlilitary department of the national government, and ever -this department an army oi. cer presides, who has entire and unlimit. ed control over the civil and military laws 'of the State, and who still has ab. solute' power over everything the most rereotely connected with the army, and 'whose absolute- power' over the citisens wand the eivil authorities, is only limited I by the authority invested -in the Gov. ernor by the Poesideht's procimation.. "8Soondly, there' is in the State a treasdry . department of the United States government, -separate and dis. tinotirom the military, existing under the laws of Con reso. This department has its own hea4, and is totally and on. 'tirelgYidependent of any civi1 govern .iment.existing here. 'lha4 comes the Freedmen's bureau, .estatliebed by Congress,- with its own jaws..agd its own ofiers to control and execiter them.

It is not the p theetirig of the Convention or its action thit can relieve us, but it is our reastorA ti6n'to the national government through the, action of Congress. w (Reigh &andard. th J. C. BBPOKINRIDG.-A Montreal correspondent of the New'York Herad G states that J. C.

I-. . -M0-0 The Lesbmond Election. It has been rumored that the result o of the late election at Richmond hos been set aside and, declared v'oid by the mili. ro tary edict of Gen. Terry. -This , state u ment has not been- confirmed, and we regard it A entirely without foundation. n Such an act as that would strike away h the lost prop of republicanism in this In country, and the whole fabrio would fall in irretrievable ruin. , . P But there is suffiqient cause for anxie ty in 'the contemplation of the attitude a of the Black Rqpublican press in regard to the result of the election at Richmond. It seemesthat the organs of the dominant C' party are unwilling to accord to the 'SoUthern people the enjoyment of their pieferences in the exercise of the elec tive fanahise. .
