A FUGITIvE PERvERT-Among the papers of that
precious martyr John Brown. found copy Of
a Provisional Government" to administer his new
Constitution of Free United Stats and amongst these
as Secretary of State appeared the of Richard
Realt, This is the same individual who was received
into the Catholic church at New Orleans some five or
six months ago. He is man of excellent eduea ion,
and his writings, both in poetry and prose, in the col,
umns of the New Orleans Catholic Standard have been
much and deservedly admired. When he became a
Catholic he gave every mark of sincere conversion !;
and therefore either most artuEy concealed his bOll
ton sentiments, or homes renouneed them OtLer-
wise he would have been received into the tOd.
For no man, whether in Louisiana 10 Massachusetts,
can be an Aboitonist and Catholic together He
might as well expect to remain in her communion and
at the same time be allowed profess Protesan1lsm
But subsequent events tend to show his nsDcertY and
dishonesty in his pretended conversion. He suddenly
absconded taking with him several hundred dollars Of
his employers money, and turns up i'll Austin Tex
as as student for the Methodist ministry His place
in the contemplated cabinet should have been different
The swindler ought to have been Minister of Finance
under the horse-stealing President. ...,. ~

and of many Of his feow-citizens of all parties We
much graed to be able to that his health
much improved and that there sevey prospect OF its
permanent restoration :'.+tG. .-.-
Governor Letcher enters upon the duties of the Exc
cutive Office OF Virginia at most important period of
her history. That he will prove himself fully equal to
the great crisis we do not, for moment doubt He
WILL predict by his official conduct give satisfaction
to his friends and force his political opponents into an
acknowledgment of the injustice which they did him in
the canvass The Opposition speakers and writers who
denounced Gov Wise so erociousy before and after his
entrance into office returning him their thanks
for his able and efficient administration of the affairs of
the State That Gov. Letcher will deserve the compl

Hon. JOHN B. FLOYD, Sec'y of Var:
SIR :: / have to acknowledge the reference to this
Office for report of letter from the Governor of North
Carolina, desiring to procure from the United States
ones attached for the of the State. On this appli
cation have the honor to report that the State of
North Carolina has been supplied with her entire quota,
up to the end of this year, under the law of April 3d.
$685. for arming the militia. Consequently, any issue
that may now be made will be in advance Of quotas
which may become due in subs quent years. The law
does not authorize any issue in advance of quotas due,
and the regulations established under the law by the
President Of the United States, forbid such issues
The issue of arms as desired by Gov. Ellis, would
absorb the entire amount of The quotas to become due
to the State Of North Carolina under the existing law,
Tor the next six years, and would preclude the fulment
of acquisitions from any of the Governors during that
period. - -.' -''-' = "--
