WILL TIIL All) VST RVinVor.4 have been for ihr? hist, four days rife on the street to the effect that certain parties (whose names we have beard) have perpetrated a forgery on the County Treasuiy, wlicrehy one. thousand dollars of a special fund have been ille gitimately appropriated. It is fur ther stated that live hundred dollars of the fund thus fraudulently drawn has bren restored and that the parties have promised to refund the balance dnring the current week; Will Treasurer Greene furnish the public, either through our columns or those of our neighbor, tbe. "Jf6\vs7' with the facts of the cose upon ?which these ruroors are based ? Or state ?whether they are true or not ? Other wise he miwt be regarded as compound ing with f tons if these rumors are true ; ebargiug not only felony (to certain pur tics mentioned) but also forgery. OUR NEIGHBOR *~* The News is n rara, sui generis, avis rmistnuch as it declares its intention as a Republican journal, to second oar efforts to put n cheek upon the dishonest prac tices of the officials in the. State. Hie News cannot ftHvocatei honesty while its supporters are Radicals. It cannot take Radical fund to aid in stop ping theft. This would be a breach of trust, n no'the effort will prove abortive. It no doubt intends honestly, but it re quires but a glance back to tbe preceding editorial in the same issue, ( of last Satur day) to see that it does no* very heartily desire our sucecv?. Its cxhilarant an ticipation ofjoy at our defeat ?mackseon sidcrably of the Rndhvsl **V:e vielrs." The sentiment militates against tbe faith we would put in tho profession. It reminds us titrongly of these shearwater birds on the coast. Thoy move in pairs ?the male leading, and female immedi ately in rear. As the opportunity idlers, he catches the small fish as it swims 0:1 the surface, and with his peculiarly ????n strueted bill, bites it in two part:-, one of which he eats; the other falls back upon the wave whence the female picks it up and cats it. Now, think wo, the News; first bite of the Radical bait is this premature hur rah, while the hist part belongs t" the Radical phalanx, that of affecting our subjection by hard blows at the ballot box. It is true that we issue on Wednesdays thcTitnc*. and on Saturdays tbe Temper ance Advocate. So that we nut v be said between ''Times'' lo "Advocate" sheet water drinking; but. we are decidedly op posed losbear.-wittci' politics. ? ? ? Those reader* of the News of last Sat urday, w'.o see with the .-ame spectacles as it.; Republican editor, wen- no doubt pleasantly elated. Did it not occur to them, as it would to any true Southerner, that auch ungeneious joy as it anticipates Mt our unresisting submission, would be more noble, more manly, if tempered with a little charitable.sympathy for a down trodden country, just a little less mirth, a trifle less hurra, inoliocrutic, if it is repub lican? Or is it that the Nkws and its, friends are still afraid of us; e'en under the shadow of tli ' Federal Capital, sup-, ported by unthinking, ignorant and mis led colored voters, and actively aided by Federal bayoiictsand indefinite suspension j uflIul">:H Corpus? Is it so wedded to | -..? ?r-?? r ' I' . ??^? Republicanism us to, not seo that it is by Rjpublicuuis'm tbut the cor- j nipt government nt Washington and Col umbia, is sustained'.' We muy be willing t<? cimccdc that Republican principle abstractly consider ed, is us good as Democratic principle; but it bus abmit as much to do with the present government as monarchical prin ciple, and we do not propose to waste time and paper in ni.ro abstract argument. The Nr.ws says that it does nbt believe that theft and corruption are the resulted' now-a-days republicanism*. Lot him strike out, as he promises, on thi* his peculiar platform; and he will find a solid repub lican phalanx against him, ai.d simply because be advocates honesty and truth. \Yu would suggest too, as an assistant balance, to bear in mind that charity be gins at homo, and that until Washington ceases to persecute, he will hardly expe rience his anticipated democratic huzza. The Kerkers, no doubt, regretted that "the News'' did no' hold Court in that locality. Does the Governor now ap point Republican Stock Companies to judicial positions? Is one individual not enough Republicanism at a time in a 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 peo ple had any legitimate business at home in their respective communities and upon which they depended lor tho 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 thccomuiuuities which they inhabit, they would have perpetrated against us such deeds of infamous tyranny as tho Invali dating bill, the Blue Ridge swindle, the License bill Arc, Are? They are unwor thy the position they have held, and we appeal to all people (_ voters) black or white, Republican or DamoOvut, native, or adopted, invited and intruders, carpet baggers and soap pedlars to pause in their individual pursuit, for a day or two, :4ny where around, and procure under the aegis of the American teaglw that only weapon of defense that she allows us against Republicanism, your license to Vote, and la !p us to stop this wholesale robbery which is. being carried on hi ('in state Capitol. They have dune little or nothing save rob. .. - - mt ?. mm ? FISHY. One day in the latter part of last week, j a colored man, by name Charles Staley, showed a paper reading thus : "Received of Charles Staley "?"> t<> ' pay his tax?*s. I (Signed) (Seo. W. Sturgeon." Staley says that became up at the ap pointed time with his money to pay Iiis taxes; that the crowd was so dense, he could hot gel to the counter, and asked Sturgeon it' he could not be allowed to pay his taxes and go. Sturgeon took his money from him, saying ho would pay his tax for him, and gave him what he took as a lax receipt; in title tune when the County Treasurer makes up his,books, St a ley's tsix has no! In en paid and execution is issued against his hard earned comforts. In indignant Innocence he presents at the Treasurer's oflicc, Sturgeon's certificate of robbery? and 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 tin support of the robbers at largo. COMMUNICATED. Mr. Kiutok: 1 f'(\-l it my duty, ns a practical carriage painter, to say some thing to the public in repaid to the paint er's trade; feeling myself competent to express au opinion, inasmuch as I have served a regular apprenticeship, and been engaged in thetrndc for twenty odd yours, always affording satisfaction in my work. You mav hear men, who are not plens cd with tho style of work done here now, j say they must send their carriages und i buggies to New York. The fa el i>, you I can got your carriage painted in New York or any other stylo if only you go to the right shop, and demand that it be done in such style anil no other. The painter's trade. Mr. Kditor, is brought to this stale ofdisrepute since the war, by sonn* men who have suddenly sprung up ir11?? self-called carriage paint er?. They walk in one und of the paint ami on! tlie other, and go to work us coach? painters. They know nothing about the trade?they cannot tini.-h work neatly? they are no judges of limtcrial?they do not know one varnish from another, fish oil from linseed. I heard of one of these professors the other daV painting with milk and soot. Mow is that for high? What more can you expect ? They have served no ap prcnti -e.-hip, and consentient I v know no more about eoaelipninting than a Foegoc Indian does ithout 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 scrawl work, line or broad stripe, and bordering in any of its various ways v ith a high polish that si all be also lasting. i uurk for II. Higgs, Kstp, and am at present the only practical carriage paint er in this section of the country. For the present, I am done, hut I intend, at some future day, to expasetho whole she bang of these men and linys, who bring disrepute upon my trade by going before the public lieft?re learning it, and botch ing up work with paint, that if not drawn oil'by tho sun or split oil' by the cold wind, will fall oft of its own accord.
