Capers and Anchoyies.

Sheridan used to relate an amusing story
of an Irish officer who once belonged to a
regiment in Malta, who returned to England
on leave of absence, and, according to the
custom of travellers, was fond of relating
the wonders be had seen. Among other
things, he one day in public coffee room,
expatiated on the excellencv of living in gen.
eral among the military at Malta. = But
said he as for anchovies, by the powers,
there is nothing to be seen like them in the
known world > and he adds, '' have seen
the anchovies grow upon the trees with my
own eyes many's the hundred times, and
beautiful's the grove of them the Governor
has in his garden on the espanade." A
gentleman present, disputed the statement
that anchovies grew on trees, which the
Irishman with much warmth, re affirmed
The lie passed, a challenge was given, and
the upshot of the matter is thus humorously
related
The Englishman gave his address, and
the next day the parties met attended by
their seconds they fired, and O'Flanagan's
shot took effect in the fieshy part of his oppo-
nent's thigh, which made the latter Jump
foot from the ground, and fall fiat on his
back, where he lay few seconds in agony,
kicking his heels. This being observed by
the Irishman's second he said " You hit
your man, O'Flanagan, that is certain. l
think not dangerously, however, for see what
capers he cuts"
"Capers, capers ~ exclaimed the Irish
man, "Oh by the powers. what have
done what dreadful mistake - and run
ming up to his wounded antagonist, he took
his hand and pressing it eagerly, addressed
him: My dear friend, if you're kilt AK your
pardon in this world and in the next, for
made a devil of mistake; and it was capers
that l saw growing upon the trees at Malta,
and not anchovies at ALL"
The wounded man, smiling at his ludi-
crous explanation and apology, said:
My dear fellow, l wish you had thought
of that little sooner don't think you
have quite killed me, but l hope you will
remember the difference between anchovies
and capers as long as you live.'

Some of the newspapers are complaining
that the Provisional Governor appointed last
year, Directors in Railroad companies, who
owned no stock in said companies. Well,
what of it? His instructions were to ap-
point the best men, who had never faltered
in their allegiance to the government, and he
was not bound by any charter or law ON the
subject He exercised this power to the best
advantage for the good of the corporations
and for the cause of restoration. It is well
enough to require that Directors elected by
stockholders shall own stock, but such pro-
vision is useless as to State Directors.
We may refer hereafter at some length to
the manner in which Gov. Worth has reor-
ganized the various State-corporations. The
Governor seems to have been actuated in this
business by one leading idea and that was
to turn out all the officers whom the Pro-
visional Governor put in. Gov. Worth has
a very strong aversion to the late provisional
government of the State. He has omitted
no opportunity to undo the Presidents work
of restoration as far as he could. His action
in this respect furnishes strong proof of his
hostility to the President and we know
the fact that it has greatly weakened the
chances of the State to be restored to the
Union under the Presidents plan.

DIR. r.. j. Powell.

Among the numerous friends we met in
Washington we take pleasure in mentioning
specially DR.. r. ]. Powell, late State Agent
for North-Carolina.
DR.. P, from his long residence in Wash
ington, and the ease with which he obtains
access to the President, his Secretaries and
clerks, and the Heads of Departments, has it
in his power to be of great service to North
Carolinians. He is obliging and kind to his
fellow-citizens of this State. even to the neg
lect of his private interests. The advantages
he has secured for his State, and the favors
he has obtained for those of our citizens who
have had business in Washington, are
not to be estimated in dollars and cents
We may mention, as one instance. that the
pardon of Mrs. Ball was mainly owing to his
exertions, for which he expected and has re-
ceived no compensation.
AS DR.. Powell is not at present in Office,
and rs nearly all his time is occupied in
serving our people, those who have business
with him and can afford to pay, should
send him a fee when they apply to him to
attend to their interests in Washington.

r. II. ~
until the States are restored, for the plain
reason that it is indispensable to the resto-
ration of the States. There is no hope, in
any event, that Congress will admit the
States if this rule be not adhered to. Those
who are opposed to this rule, or who have
violated it, are, therefore, practically opposed
to restoration, and are disunionists
We trust our contemporary now perceives
what we mean by loyal men. We have no
authority to speak for the President, nor
have we assumed to do so. He speaks for
himself in his messages, and whenever he
chooses to address the people. But we state
our convictions, the result of what we heard
in Washington. The President is no doubt
anxious that there should be harmony among
our people, and he is not as we'll informed
as our own public men are as to our peculiar
party divisions but we will say this to our
contemporary, that judging by his whole
course since 1860, and especially by his in
structions to the Provisional Governor and
his emphatic endorsement in more ways than
one of the official action of that functionary,
that he has warm place in his bosom for
the straitest sect - Union men of this State
and reposes in them special confidence
He regards them as the nucleus around whom
all should rally in the work of restoration.
The Provisional Governor, when relieved
in December last, left this State in the hands
of thousands of loyal officers, whom he had
appointed in accordance with the instruc-
tions of the President Gov. Worth has
made it rule to turn nearly every one of
these officers out whom he can reach, and to
fill their places for the most part with per
son of doubtful loyalty, some of whom are
unpardoned rebels. If he We're really and
truly friend of the President he would let
his work stand, or would touch it only to
improve it in accordance with the Presidents
known wishes on the subject. If it was i'm
portant in August, 1865, that the State
should present herself in a loyal garb, it is
much more important now, when the Con-
gress and the Northern people are so exact
ing in this respect.
But Gov. Worth not only turns out the
Presidents appointees because they are loyal,
and puts his own partizans in their places.
but through his organ, the Sentinel. he de1fes
the President! That paper, in its issue of
July II, speaking for Gov. Worth in relation
to the corporations in which he has made so
| many changes, says the President has no
right to interfere in civil matters in this
State, and that, " so far as the authority of
tile President extends an tie affairs Of this
State Gov. Worth would consult his wishes
with as much alaerity as Gov. Holden, 6ut
Coz. Worth must not be expected to yield to any
one claims Of authority not sanctioned 1y the

The Tarboro' SOutherne

The Tarboro' Southerner on DIR. Deems.
In recent number of the Wutchman DR..
Deems took occasion to say that he was new
er personal admirer of Mr. Davis, and had
certainly been no supporter of his admins
tration. The Marlborough Southernor, in its
last issue, thus scores the Doctor for making
such assertions
SIN all the various places where the Rev.
erend Doctor lectured, and solicited aid in
this behalf did any one learn that he was no
supporter of the administration at Rich
monde We are sure no one did, who heard
him in February 1868, in this town. There
Der the forcible expression, eve must sue
coed in this war, for God has decreed that
the African shall be slave"
The summer of 1868, found him visiting
minister in the Army of Northern Virginia.
| For weeks did he trudge along the valley
roads, with Rodes' Division, talking to and
encouraging the rough soldiers of that COM
mand. They would visit him in bivouac,
and throng around to hear him preach, and
so great was his popularity, that if ally sol
dier had asserted that DIR. Deems was no
supporter of the war, he would have been
mobhed by his comrades.
| We have heard him pray and preach for
| the success of the Confederate Armies, and
preach and pray for the downfall and de-
| struction of the Federal Armies, and it is
with no little wonder and surprise that we
hear him through the editorial ofth Watch
man, saying, that he never was a supporter
of Mr.. Davis administration, and that his
| feelings of sympathy for him, were uttered
| only in the interest of humanity
