NORFOLK POST DISPATCHES
IMPORTANT FROM WASHING
TON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The Secre.
tary of State to-day telegraphed to Gov.
Perry, of South Carolina, to. continue
Governor of that State until relieved.
The President, in his order, says he re-
grets that neither the Convention nor
Legislature has repudiated the Confede-
rate debt, and that South Carolina
seems to decline action on the Congress
sional amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution abolishing slavery.
Yesterday Mr. Seward telegraphed to
Governor Perry for the President, urg-
ing the early adoption Of the amend
ment, which is deemed peculiarly i'm
portant- especially desirable. With
reference to the general situation of the
Union, the Presidents opinions before
expressed remain unchanged.
To-day, members Of the late North
Carolina Convention, and other gentle
men from that State, visited the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Reade, in behalf of the Con-
vention, reported what had been done,
including the declaration that the seces-
sion ordina ice was declared null and
void. He also stated enactments were
passed prohibiting slavery and repudi-
ating the Confederate debts contracted
during the rebellion. The Convention
ask Congress to repeal the test oath, and
it was thought respectful that this re-
quest should pass through the Presi-
dents hands, with the hope that his
magnanimity would add to it some re.
flections which would avail with Con-
gress. The President, in a conciliatory
spirit, said that North Carolina had
done much and done well but some
thing yet remained to be undone to rem
der her restoration practicable, namely
the acceptance of the Congressional
anti-slavery amendment to the constitu-
ton, which was important to that sue
cessful restoration SO much desired.
This action must depend upon events,
and Governor Holden will be again in
structed to continue to exercise his func-
tons as Governor till relieved by orders
to that effect. t..t...

that exhibition. It was display, in
our judgment, much more calculated to
produce the "joIly good fellow feeling
than our innocent slip. But let us see
the "joke" in the following:
Lord Palmerston used to tell this an
ecdote of himself "When ! was u
young man the Duke of Wellington
made an appointment with me at half
past seven in the morning, and some
will YOU keep that engagement" "Oh,"
1 said, g.of course the easiest thing in
the world. / shall keep it the last thing
before l go to bed. "-N. y. Journal Of
Commerce of NoV 9. ~f rit
What is the point to thisjoke? Where
was young Palmerston until half-past
seven? AT a balloon wedding? or was
his lordship jolly good fellow" But
we are dwelling on nothing.

A VOICE FROM THE HUB.

The POSTS reports of horse trots and
prize fights, its appeals to young men
to refrain from loafing in front OF
churches on the Sabbath, it's way gem
orally, is beginning to arrest the atten-
ton of the world at large. We do not
know what Rome will do when the high
and mighty there come to read our ac-
count of the Philadelphia Phenian
Congress but we can guess what Louis
Napoleon and The Queen will say over
that event in Virginia journalism. Yes
terday we received letter from Boston,
city in the eastern end of the repub-
lie. dated on the 9Th instant. The wri-
ter says" perceive by your journal OF
the 9Th instant that correspondent has
given graphic account of Captain Nc
Gowan's trot over the Riverside Park,
which took place on the Slst ult. 1t is
the most spirited account of the race
and incidents that have yet read, and
wish you Would induce your cores
pondent to write often, or get some of
the Boston journals to employ him to
report the frequent races here. The To-
cal reporters of newspapers here,
although clever enough in other
matters, do not understand horses
talk. Fenian,' your correspondent, is
either an adept or professional.
There is dash, life and spirit about
his horse-talk-the man has the real
horse vocabulary-which suits the turf.
Please send me ten copies of the Post OF
the 9Th of November, containing the
McGowan trot by Fenian, and put me
down as regular subscriber for one
year. Enclosed find eleven dollars
This is all very flattering, and the writer
seems to be man of taste and discrimi
nation. OF course we have sent him the
papers End have entered his name on
our books as subscriber; but We can.
not give over Fenian" to the Boston
press. The graphic report of the prize
fight, which we published yesterday,
and which went off like hot cakes, will
undoubtedly bring more letters from the
Hub of the Universe, and it would not
surprise us, if the Post, by and by, was
as much sought after in the Kingdom as
| it is here in Norfolk.

This fiippant manner of bandying
jokes about the use of intoxicating
drinks is bad sign, and much too COM

who lends himself to beastliness must

intemperance is undermining the foun

We accept the rebuke of our old CO.

we can hardly realize q serious admoni-

of the Journal Of Commerce think "sure

to the public morals? What does the edi-

The NEW COUNTERFEIT FIFTY DOL
LAR LEGAL TENDER NOTE. A late is.
sue from the graver and press of the
counterfeiters of United States legal
tender currency of the denomination Of
fifty dollars Is the most difficult of de-
lection of any which has of late been
prepared. 1t is thus described: There
are apparently but two discrepancies be-
tween the genuine and the spurious
notes that will be apparent to the pub
lie. One of them is in that part Of the
engraving of the head of Hamilton,
upon the face of the note, which repre-
sents the line of the waistcoat crossing
the white collar at the neck. The acute
angle formed by the shape of the collar,
so far as 1t is shown, Is perfect in the
counterfeit note; but i'm the genuine the
lines of the flesh were drawn by the en-
graver across the point of the collar at
its junction with the waistcoat, for the
purpose of relieving the angle of the
sharpness it would otherwise have ex-
hibited. This difference is not readily
observed unless the note Is perfectly
clean. The other discrepancy is in the
shape of the ornaments in the border of
each end of the face of the bills, and in
the whole border on the back. The fig
ures "50n are engraved on green
ground, of which the rim in the genu-
Inc bill is i'm octagonal form, rather well
defined, though the angles are not
sharp. The eight sides of what at first
view appeared to be circles may be cas-
ily discerned. In the counterfeit bill
the border ornaments containing the
ss5Op are octagonal in only very slight
degree. and seem to be perfect circles.
The general appearance Of the counter
felt gives no indication OF Its true char
acter. 1t would be the safest course to
pursue in regard TO these particular IF
ties to refuse them entirely until gov-
eminent can makes reissue to take
their place. York Herald.

MONUMENTS TO THE BRAVE.

The editor of the New York Epening
Post has heart as large as the country
in which he lives. No journalist has
done as much as he to revive the old
fraternal feelings of the sections. To
lie sure, he is abused for this, and some
of his critics address him in very coarse
language. Still he walks his path, un-
mindful of his accusers. The other
day, he copied an account of project
to build a monument to Stonewall jack
son in Baltimore, and also an account
of scheme of Memphis clergyman,
" no asks for subscriptions for cathe-
dral, in which it is proposed to record
the names of the Southern dead and the
achievements of Southern generals. To
all this the editor says, in spirit of the
utmost kindness: "We, in the North
ern States, are naturally little ahead of
the South with monuments to our fallen
brave. A statue of General Berry, who
fell SO nobly at Charlottesville, was
erected in Maine last week, and we have
heard of several other monuments erect
ed in different parts of the Northern
States, OF course, after so great war,
in which SO many conspicuous men
have persisted, there will be, as there
ought to be, many monuments raised
commemorative of their bravery and
their services. This is tribute
which men love to pay to those whose
actions and characters they admire; and
it is we'll that fathers and mothers here
after shall be able to show their boysthe
effigy of such man as Wadsworth, or
Berry, or Mitchell, or Birney, or Nc
Pherson, or Lyon, or Rice, or Sill, and
press them by this sight to emulation of
the patriotic self-sacrifice which led
these, and hundreds Of thousands equal
~ brave and noble, but known only to
lesser circle, to give their lives that the
Union might live. The Post adds:
We hope that, besides monuments to
the few great soldiers, whose fame will
always be dear to us, the people will be
moved also to erect suitable memorials
upon those great battlefields which the
military historian will acknowledge to
have been--what the popular apprehen-
sion already sees they were-the decisive
points in the great war. And, we con-
fess, that we should be we'll pleased
could these memorials take such shape
as to admit of the record of every name
of soldier who yielded his life
in those bitter struggles. We should
like to see tire names of these
patient, silent heroes treasured
up; and surely no prouder words can
ever be said by an American, if our
Union lasts for thousand generations,
than My ancestor died at Gettys-
burg'-or at Chickamauga!' But
we began with some allusion to Stone
wall Jackson's monument--what about
that? Should the great rebel Captain
have also a statue? Is it right that any
city of the Union shall contain cathe-
dral commemorative of the services of
those who fought against the Union?
Well, yes, we do not see any reason to
object. Ifthe people of Virginia, or of
the Southern States choose to erect a
monument to jackson, let them do so,
by all means. If they think it well to
build commemorative pile at Memphis,
or elsewhere, let no one object. They
were mistakep-these southern SOL
