The Deficiency Bin.

The, House WaEs and Means committee,
says a Washington dispatch Of Thursday
evening, have been considering the Senate
amendments to the Deficiency bill, which,
: under the Operations Of the Presidents call
for more men, extracts between sixty and
seventy millions more from the Treasury,
They have gone over it carefully, item by
item, seeking if possible, to reduce it, but
have failed to do so. This is, Of course, so
much additional to the War Departments

Ifit necessary in order to clear the case of the
Supreme Court, the Legislature should abolish all
such offices as Justices of the Peace, &c.-Confed
crate.
Tho Editor of the Confederate is lawyer, and
ought to know that the Legislature has no power
to abolish the Office ofJustice of the Peace These
officers are constitutional officers, and hold their
places during good behavior.
But the Confederate to crafty its DestructiUe pro
pensties and to PROSTATE the State at the feet of
Confederate power would evidently be gratified to
see the Supreme Court itself abolished Courts,
and civil law, and lawyers are in the way. They
embarass the progress ofthe "powers that be to su
pre- me dominion. The people are already subjugs,
ted. Patronage, and conscription, and impress
ments, and the bayonet have done that; and now,
when thereis only remnant of freedom left consti-
tutonal offices must be abolished, and if the Courts
cannot be abolished, they must at least be tied
up by "clearing" them of cases. so that they
may exist only as matter Of form. Call you this
liberty Is it for this that our State is suffer
ing and enduring what no State ever suffered or
endured beforef
Every step made by such papers as the Csnfed'
crate towards the destruction of civil liberty
furnishes an additional argument in favor of pea CO.
Give US peace and liberty will revive and live again.
Give us peace, and D estructiveism will die. Give
us peace, and our people will once mole be free'
prosperous, and happy.

CoNFLICr-GEN MARTIN IN BUSINESS The

by no one except the President or Superintendent"
We are not informed Of the reasons which have
influenced Gen. Martin in this matter but what.
ever they may he, he is bound to respect the civil
law. We take it for granted that every bushel of
grain in the Western counties is needed to support
the people in that section and if any of this grain
is being sent to Salisbury to be distilled into whis
key, cannot blame the General for stopping it by
the strong hand We learn that three hundred
bushels grain are consumed per day, by the gov
ernment dstillery at that place, in making whiskey
If this is So we hope the Legislature will take steps
at once to abate this distllery as a nuisance and
curse to the people.

persons are found who cry out against negO-

There can Sir, be no objection to the appointment
ofan editor to Office if he is the ttest man. There
can be no objection to considering the services
which, in that or in any other capacity, he may
have rendered his country. He may have done
much to maintain her rights against foreign aggres
sion, and her character against insult He may
have honored, as well as defended her; and may,
therefore, be justly regarded and selected, in the
choice of faithful public agents But the ground
OF complaint is that the aiding, by the press ofthe
election Of an Individual is rewarded, by that same
individual with the gift Of moneyed offices Men
are turned out of Office and others put in, and re-
eeive salaries from the public treasury, on the
ground, either openly avowed falsely denied, that
they have rendered service in the election of the
very individual who makes this removal and makes
this appointment Every man, Sir, must see that
TINS Is vital stab at the purity OF the press 1t
not only assails its independence, by addressing
sinister motives to it. but it furnishes from the
public treasury the means of exciting these motives
1t extends the executive power over the press in
most daring manner. 1t operates to give direc-
tion to opinion not favorable to the government in
the aggregate not favorable to the Constitution and
laws not favorable to the legislature; but favorable
to the executive alone The consequence often is,
just what might be looked for that the portion of
the press thus made fast to the executive interest
denounces Congress- denounces the Judiciary, CON-
plains OF the laws and quarrels with the Consitu-
ton This exercise of the right Of appointment TO
this end IS an augmentation, and vast one, of the
executive power singly and alone It uses that
power strongly against all other branches Of the
government and it uses it strongly, too, for any
struggle which it may be called on to make with
the public opinion of the country. Mr.. President
will quit this topic. There is much in it, in my
Judgment affecting not only the purity and inde-
pendeHce OF the press but also the character and
honor, the peace and security, of the government
leave it in all its bearings, to the consideration of
the people"
