PRESCRIPTION RECOMMENDED.-The Ports.
mouth Globe, rnbid administration press snys
the American Organ, in it's issue of April Eth.
recommends the removal Of all the workmen at
the Gosport Navy Yard, and ON the public work =
throughout the country, who believe that Amer.
cans should rule America. 1t says:
ave go for and advocate the removal of all who
hold place under the government who belong to
this midnight order. We believe this now TO be
the general sentiment of all who do not belong TO
the order and if tho persons in power do not at
once carry out the wishes of those who placed
them there, they ought to lose their confidence
and support"
Since the charter election in portsmouth,the Or
gan also says, hand bills have been put in cir
culaton there, containing the names of the vo-
tiers for fiske and White, the rival candidates
for the MayoraIty. The object of the defeated
party is not known, and their aim can only be sur
missed. 1t is believed by some to be intended to
ntimidato the employees of the Gosport Navy
Ynrd. Many of them solely and wholly depen-
dent upon the daily wages they receive from the
government They poor, and have large fam
lilies to support, and. owing to the present high
rates of the necessares of life, their daily wages
are barely sufficient to support them. If this is
the intention of those who are circulating these
hand bills, it is most miserable and despoable
piece of business, and unworthy the sanction of
honorable men. The object of such a base man
euvrc will be defeated. and the effect of such an
attempt will rocoi upon the heads Of the perpe-
traitors.

FRENCH INTERFERENCE WITH THE UNITED
STATES AND CunA.-The rumor that France will
interfere between tho United States and Cuba ex.
cites no little remark and many journals which
strenuously oppose flbusterism Indignantly no.
ject the idea that our government should relax one
iota ofits ust demands against Spain, through fear
ofany impairment threats of the French govern
ment. On this subject, the New York Courier re-
mnrks
Opposed as we utterly to quarrolng with
Spain for anything that has yet occurred. there is
one argument for peace wi ich Indignantly
repel; we mean the argument that France, in case
of war, viii toko the part of Spain. II is posi-
Bile that France may do this, MS it is possible she
mny do anything under her present rule; but the
contingency, when il is put forward for an init
nidatlng purpose, is not 10 be considered. Whit
ever be the meaning of the threatening language
Of the imperial press in Paris. and of the mystic
rious notes of tho Fronch minister 10 his brother
diplomatiats and 10 Secretary Marcy, one thing
Is certain-tho American government ought not

ference tn the intentions OF France one way or
tho other. We can tell the French press, aud if
necessary we cnn tell NJ. Snrtiges at Washington,
that the less they have to say to the United
States on the subject of Cuba the better. They
can do nothing more likely To defeat their own
ends than 10 threaten,or oven seem To threaten u.s.
with the interference of their master. Tho
French government has nothing to do with the
dispute. II has no more concern with Cubn, thun
we have with the trmca; il has no more right
to prevent the Cntcd States from taking pos
session Of tho one, hnn the United states has

the other. II France undertakes il, she must
expect 10 be treated with the slime indignation
aud defiance that would Justly he provoked by n

Ex GOVERNOR METCALF, of Kentucky, has writ
ten letter, giving his opinion of the new Ameri-
organization. He says that foreigners should
be content to share with the native-born the bles-
sing which the laws of the country guarantee,
without insisting upon the right to seize the reins
of Government. Its the Elk Governors opinion,
that all tho evils with which we are surrounded
have been brought upon us by the demogogues
of the old corrupt parties, aud by adopting the
principle that to the victors belong the spoils.

over this signature, some unknown individual
is permitted to make issue with Us in the Virgin
ian, in regard TO our statement TINT the Know
Nothing Organization of Lynchburg would not
permit discussion on Friday night. The in,fu-
enfiai Democrat referred TO is known to us We
are authorized by him t. state that the substance
of his conversation with DIR. Lambeth to be IA
follows:
DIR Lambeth met him on Friday evening, and
proposed n discussion for Mr.. Burwcll. He was
then asked if he was authorized to make the prop
ostion herepled that he was then on his way to
see Nr. Burwell He then told that on a
previous occasion he had proposed discussion
with Mr. Bryce, and hnd put the Democracy to
some trouble to get II speaker and that after this
was done. Mr. Bryce refused n discussion, and
consequently that no proposition could be enter
tnned from him rs he had deceived them once
before.
There are no officers of the Know Nothing or
ganjzation of this place, (ndmiticd to be such)
and consequently when we desire II discussion, we
have to propose it to any that chance may
throw III our way. But should the Know Moth
ings desire dscussion,by applying to the Pres.
tdent of the Democatic Association, they will
always receive an answer, and one that may he
relied upon as correct. In this case as in that
of MIR. Bryce, inquiry was made and it seemed to
be understood that Mr.. Burwcl did not desiIo
discussion, and of course it would have been
improper to press the matter father.
Will our neighbor inform us who is the "Grand
Mognl' OF the Know Nothing councils of this
town, and to whom, when we desire a discussion,
can we apply and get an official and satisfactory
answer.
