the fund'1 thus fraudulently drawn has

promised to refund the balance during

Those readers of the N uv.'s of last Sat

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

is by RjpuhlicnnisVn that tho cor

We niuv lie willing to concede that
iiepublicau principle abstractly consider

but it bus about as much to do with tlie
present government tts monarchical prin

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

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

not enough Republicanism at a time in

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

their individual pursuit, for a day or two,
any where around, and procure under the

against. Republicanism; your license to
vote, and help us to stop this w holesale

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.

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.
