PRoscRPT1oN. of the State papers are very
much troubled about the prescription of the State
Treasurer, Mr.. Courts, who was candidate for re-
election and was defeated If any one of these papers
will turn back to its files some years ago and copy
any complaint it then made against the "proscrip-
ton" Of Chas. L. Hinton, and the election of Mr.
Courts in his place-why then We will have some
slight reason-we have none now-to believe that it
is the public good and not party SPIRIT that dictates
its present complaint If was right then to turn
out faithful and experienced officer to put in an
inexperienced one, how is it wrong now to turn out
faithful and experienced one to put in gentleman
of as much financial ability and industry and in
tegrity are possessed-we do not hesitate to say
it of Jonathan Worth-by any man in the State.
For ourselves, we do not like prescription but we
do think that of the State House officers with
whom lin these times which have made the State gov
eminent of vast importance the Governor has ncces
sary somuch to d. should be bitter opponents of the
Governor, as Mr. Courts is said to be- With the cleo
tons made by the Legislature we have had nothing
TO do-though we think the selections admirable
but we do not the necessity for the howl that is
raised because the Legislature has thoug that some
few Offices might be filled from that large class which
has been so ruthless!y prescribed We think that
this opinion is unbiased by party spirit-Fayetts

The seizure and transportation of Mr.. Graves
beyond the limits of this State for imprisonment
and all without the least regard to State Govern
ment and laws, is just such an act as the President
of the Northern Government has been perpetrating
since the war begun. 1t is purely despotc, and
has been so denounced by all persons in the South,
who regard these acts of President Lincoln so
many evidences of the destruction of civil liberty
in the Northern States. If, indeed, they so to
be regarded, then both sections in like danger
of losing that precious inheritance purchased at
the cost of much blood and handed down through
many years of watchful guarding by our fathers of
the two last centuries. Our State Legislature and
many people in other Southern States, look upon
such proceedings with much dissatisfaction, and
soonesor later, will certainly vindcate their Con-
stitutonal rights the only danger being that they
may yield to the plea Of military necessity" until
it shall be too late to arrest the evil except at
cost.
: In the case of Mr.. Graves, Gov Vance ordered
the Confederate officer with his prisoner, to be ar
rested and detained in Raleigh in order to have the
case Investigated. But the parties had passed out
of the State before the officer charged with the duty
could execute it. What steps will now be taken BY
the Governor remains to be seen.-Salis6ury

We take the following from the last paper Of
"Rus-Urban Rambles" in the New York Evening
Post:
Burns is not more closely associated with Ayr,
or Soft with Abbotsford, or Shakespeare with
Stratford, than is Washington Irving, with larry
town. Here he spent his maturer years and old
age, and here, amid the afecGonate regrets of
every one, is the place he breathed his last. All
who attended his funeral will remember that ex-
quisite day when, as if in kindly remembrance of
the event. the cold and icy winds of December re-
tired, and it seemed as if spring had come
again.
Washington Irving's grave is in the upper and
more modern part of the cemetery, for the lower
part near the old church, contains the dead of
revolutionary times. The Irving family lie in a row
of graves, the burial lot being surrounded with
green hedge. Thick, low, white slabs, each
exactly similar to the other raone mark the graves.
There is no preentous monument. The father
and mother of the Irving lie side by side, their
tomb-stones bearing these Inscriptions
CIVILIAN IRyING-Died October 25, 1907,
aged rs years, l month and II days"
"SARAH SANDERS, wife, of William Irving
Died April 9, 1917, aged 70y years, 1 months and
10 days"
Next to these, at the foot of the whitest stoDe
lies the freshest grave. 1t is the grave that was
opened and closed on that sweet-that almost
unnaturally sweet-December day, and the pure
white stone bears these words:
WASHINGTON,
Son of William and S. P. Irving,
Died November 2S, 1859, aged 76, years, mos
and % days.
Some friendly hand has thrown wreath of
immorteles upon the grave The gate that leads
to the burial lot is open, as if it were often visited
and the morning sunlight Aickers in checkered
play upon the grass and tombstones as it filters
tremblingly through the leaves-everything quiet
and serene, like the closing years and calm death
and gentle soul of him who left his Sunnyside'
cottage home for this Sunnyside grave"
The most sudden change of base recorded in
this war is that of party of Maine soldi ers who
