WIJLLTllV Xi:WS ATI) US* !. RunmrM-havc Weir for the hist four days rife ou the street to' the effect that certain patties (whose names we haye hoard) have perpetrated a forgery on tho Cotinty Treasury, whereby one thousand dollars df a Special fund have been ille gitimately appropriated. It is fur ther stated that five hundred dollars of the fund'1 thus fraudulently drawn has been restored and that the parties* have promised to refund the balance during the current'week. Will Treasurer Greene furnish the public, either through our columns or those of our neighbor, the "Jfts\vs>/' with the facts of the case, upon which, these rumors are based ? Or state whether'they are true or uot? Other wise he roust be regarded as compound ing WitlV f iocs if these rumors are true; chargiug.not only felony (to certain par ties mentioned") but ttlfco forgMry. I 1 :?:-- f . U?-*. dq t)?ii !> '10llR WEIGHBOR r* The News is* a rara, sei generis, avis inasmuch as it declares iL? intention as a Republican journal, to second oar e?brts ?o p\ut Scheck upon the dishonest prac tices oEthe1 ofliclals in the State. T1ien;Nc\vh cannot advocate honesty While 'its:< supporters are Radicals. It cannot, take Radical fund; to aid in stop ping theft. This would be a 'breach of trust1, nidi1 the 'effort will prove abortive It tib doubt intends honestly, but it re ?fnires but a glarfcb bao'k to the preceding editorial in the same issue (of last Satur day) to see that it does no*, very heartily desire our sitcccv*. ''Its' exhilarant an ticipation of joy at our defeat smacks con siderably of the Radical **Vro victfs." The sentiment militates against the faith W6 would put in tho profession. It reminds us strongly of these shearwater birda-bnthe cdast." Thyy move in pairs ?the mole leading, and female immedi ately in rear. As the 6pp6rtunity oilers, he catches the small fish as it swims on the surface, and with Iiis peculiarly con structcd bill, bites it in two part?, one of which he cats; the other falls back upon the wave whence the female picks it up and cats it. Now', think wo, tho News; first bite of the Radical bait is this premature hur rah, while the last part belongs to tho Radical phalanx, that of affecting our subjection by hard blows at the ballot. box. It Is true that we issiu* on Wednesdays thcTimes, and oii Saturdays tho Temper.-; nncc Adyocatc. So that wc ma v'be said between "Times" to "Advocate" sheer water, drinking; but wc arc decidedly op posed toshoav-water politics. Those readers of the N uv.'s of last Sat urday, wbo sec with the same spectacles as its Republican editor, were no doubt pleasantly (dated. Did it not occur to them, as it would to any true Southerner, < that such ungcneious joy as it anticipates 1 Mt our unresisting submission, would be more noble, more manly, if tempered with ii little charitable,sympathy for a down trodden country, just a little less mirth, a trifle less hum, in oboe ra tic, if it is repub lican? Or is it that the Ni:ws and its friends are still afraid of us; e'en under tlve?lmdow oftli? Federal Capital, sup-, ported by unthinking, ignorant arid mis led colored voters, and actively aided by Federal bayonets and indefinite suspension of Hub in* Corpus? Is it so wedded to I 11 "'.LI', ^ ? '"?II Republicanism as to , not. *eo that it is by RjpuhlicnnisVn that tho cor rupt government :tt Washington and Col umbia, is sustained ? We niuv lie willing to concede that iiepublicau principle abstractly consider ed, is as good as Democratic principle; but it bus about as much to do with tlie present government tts monarchical prin ciplc, ami we do not propose to waste time and paper ia mire abstract argument. The N*:ws says that it does not believe that theft aud corruption are the result, of now-a-days republicanism. Let him strike out, as be promises, on this Iiis peculiar platform; and ho will find a solid repub lican phalanx against him, ai.d simply because he; advocates honesty and truth. YYu would suggest too, as an assistant balance, to hear in mind that charity be gins at home, and that until Washington ceases to persecute, he will Hardly expe rience his anticipated democratic huzza. The Forkers, no doubt, regretted that, "the News" did no*, hold Court in that locality. Does tho Governor now ap point Republican Stock Companies to judicial positions? Is one individual not enough Republicanism at a time in u position? THE LEGISLATURE. Our State Legislature adjourned last Wednesday. The motley brood has been sitting one third of a year nearly. Can the State at large doubt, that if these poo ' pic had any legitimate business at home in their respective communities' and upon which they depended for the support of their families, thev would not delay thus long on legislative matters? Can the State at large doubt that, it these people desired the respect of the honest men of thdcommunities which they inhabit, they would have perpetrated against us such deeds of infamous tyranny us the Invali dating bill, the Blue Ridge swindle, tin1 License hill &ie., &?? They arc unwor thy the position they have held, ami we appeal to all people (voters) black or white, Republican or ?ninonWt, ?mtiv? or adopted, invited and intruders, carpet baggers and soap pedlars to pause in their individual pursuit, for a day or two, any where around, and procure under the aegis of the. American Eaglw that only I weapon of defense that ahe allows us against. Republicanism; your license to vote, and help us to stop this w holesale robbery which is being carried on at our State Capitol. They have done little or nothing save rob. FISHY. One day in the latter part of last week, a colored man, by name Charles Stalcy, showed a paper.reading thus : '.'Received of Charles Stalcy ?.">.7"> to pay bis taxes. (Signed; Coo. W. Sturgeon." Stalcy says that he came up at the ap pointed time with his money to pay his tttxes ; that, the crowd was so dense, he could not get to the counter, and asked Sturgeon if he could not. be allowed to pay his taxes and go. Sturgeon took his money from him, saying he would pay bib tax for him, ami gave bin', what he took its a tax receipt* In due tbnewhen the County Treasurer makes up bis books, Stalcy's tnx has not been paid and execution is issued against his hard earned comforts. In indignant Innocence he presents at the Treasurer's office, Sturgeon's certWieute of robbery? ami has to borrow money to repay his taxes. One instalment having been ap propriated by one robber, he has'to re place the amount contributed for the support of the robbers at large. - m> -* mm? COMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor: I teil it my duty, as a practical carriage painter, to .ay some thing to the public in regard to the paint er's trade; feeling myself competent to express au opinion, inasmuch as I have served a regular apprenticeship, and ix-en engaged in the trade for twenty odd years, always affording satisfaction in my work. You may hear men, who tire not pleas ed with tho style of work done here now, say they must send their carriages and buggies to New York. The fact is, you c'in got your carriage --paiutcd in New York or any other stylo if only you go to the right shop, and demand that it he done in such style and.no other. The painter's trade. Mr. Editor, is brought to this state of disrepute since the war, by some men who have suddenly sprung up into self-culled carriage paint ers. They walk in one end of the paint, und out the other, and go to work as eoach painters. They know nothing about the trade?they cannot finish work neatly? they are no judges of material?they do not know one varnish from another, fish oil from linseed. 1 heard of one of these professors the other day painting with milk and soot. How is that for high ? What more can you expect? They; have served no ap prcnti.-c.-hip, and consequently know no more about coachptiintihg than a Eeegee Indian docs about Hail Colum bia. Now, as to whether painter's can have their carriages or buggies done up in New York style, I will warrant that they can, with satisfaction to themselves, whether it be ornamental or scrowl work, fine ?r broad stripe, and bordering in any of its various ways v ith uhigh polish that shall be also lasting. I work for II. Riggs, Esq., and am at present tho only practical carriage paint er in this section of the country. For the present, I am done, but I intend, at some future day, to expose the whole she bang of these men and boys, who bring disrepute upon niy trade by going before the public before learning it, and botch ing up work with philU, that if not drawn off by thu sun or split off by the cold wind, will fall off of its own accord. Yours, J. A. WILLIAMS. LOGA T,. F. P. ISKAllp, Associate Editor.

THAT LEASE.
