For the Standard.
A RESPONSE,

Host respectfully addressed to '.P" IN tile
Stondord Of the End current.
My DEAR P.-You have selected favora-
BILE letter as your nom de plunae and ever
since l read your communication, l have
been guessing and guessing and all to no use
Some times I'd think P stands for pluckv
and that is a pucky letter q don't mean the
the simple monagraph.) If the Standard
contained more of such it would improve in
circulation. 1 thought the might be for
Phatos, friend, and was thinking the cor
respondent was giving some friendly hints to
our good friend of the Standard as to the
course he should adopt. And lastly. guess
ed the P might stand for Paddy, and was
inclined to this opinion, it was so boldly and
dehantly written. But conjectures apart
My object for the present is to make known
to you, friend P, that your voice shall not be
heard alone, it finds an echo in every true
Union breast in the State, and so long as the
Standard extends to such correspondents the
courtesy of its columns, 1 for one shall not
complain. Hoping to hear from you and all
others who approve of your &c Radicaln SEN
tlments and that we shall make an effort to
have our State represented in the approach
ing Radical Convention, I am, my dear p.
your friend and brother

Ex-Governor Holden.

We take pleasure in stating on the all
thorty OF those who are best qualified to
know, that the refusal ON the part of the
Senate to confirm the nomination of tx Gov
ernor Holden, of North Carolina, as Minis
ter to San Salvador, proceeded from no dis
trust of his loyalty or fitness for the place
but that 1t was dictated solely by regard
to the existing laws and resolutions of Con-
gress, under which the appointee could not
have the Office. The test oath, enacted in
1862, is part of the public law of the land.
and no man can enter upon the exercise of
an office until he has taken and subscribed
1t In due form. The amendment to the Con-
stitution recently proposed by Congress,
though not yet ratified, would SEEM never
theless, to bind the body which proposes it,
IN morals at least, and that also excludes ali
who have in any way been compromised
with the rebellion, until they shall have been
relieved by a two thirds vote of Congress
1t is understood that Governor Holden,
though at no time in sympathy with the re-
belllon, was, under pressure of circum-
stances little short of duress, compelled to
subscribe the ordinance of secession, as was
the late venerable and distinguished Mr..
Badger. They canvassed the county of Wake
In company, in the spring.of 1861 as can
dlddates for the Convention, and were trium-
phantly elected as the opponents of secess-
ion; but, at the last moment, after blood
was spilled, and the torrent of popular pas
sions overwhelmed all obstacles, they were
compelled to yield, like thousands of other
loyal men, in the hope that, by acquiescing
in what seemed inevitable, they might guide
the ship of state into some secure haven.
The fact is we'll understood among Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress that
Governor Holden was thorn in the side of
the rebellion; and that though, like nearly
all men who dwelt in the South during the
War, he was unable to preserve consistent
record as Unionist, he gave the cause of
secession and rebellion no more aid and COM
fort than imperative circumstances required,
while the rebels themselves regarded and
treated him as their enemy.
Whenever the South shall accept the con-
stitutional amendment we think that all men
Of the stamp of Mr.. Holden, and all Others
who give evidence of sincere loyalty, will be
relieved from the disabilities under which
they now labor. None others ought to ex-
pect relief Washington Chronicle.

THE Wool CEoP.-Although the product
of wool in the United States is increasing an
nually, does not yet equal the demand for
home consumption. In 1860 we produced
so, 264 ,913 lbs, all of which consumed
in our own factories. We also imported in
that year 31,371,7l9 lbs. making the total
consumption 81 ,636.632 lbs. The product
of 1864 we have seen estimated at S0,0O0,000
lbs, or 16, 745, OS7 lbs hey ond the consump-
ton This would give an increased produc-
ton of more than 2O000,O00 lbs. in four
years. and decreased consumption Of some
100000 lbs. The amount imported in
1864 was however, 72, 81 SOB lbs. The
greatly increased demand from the earlier
year was, of course, attributable to the needs
of the army and navy in part, and the resi-
due to the scarcity Of cotton goods. The
army consumbed about 100000 lbs. in
1869; 64,3O0.OOO in 1868, and similar
amount in 1864. The consumption for the
navy and for cartridges brought up total
of nearly 200, 100000 lbs. in the last year of
the war. In 1910 the product of wool was
SO small that the Secretary of War had to
import 5000 blankets for the use of the In
dians. The contrast of the fifty years makes
a striking item i'll the history of the country.

Aonther friend, who writes from the same
region of the State, says
1.-THE election is over, and have no doubt
the new Constitution is defeated. This re-
suit is to be attributed to many causes, but
not to inherent objections to the Constitution
itself Nearly all the "secssh" and their
well-tried allies, decl ared they liked the Con-
stitution well enough, but they could not
bear the men who made it. Now, when I
remember how mercifully the members of the
Convention, as individuals and as a collec-
tive body, have dealt with these indictments
and traitors, and now witness their proscrip-
tive spirit and their bitterness and abuse, I
confess am amazed. Had the Convention,
like Tennessee, Maryland, West Virginia, and
Missouri, have passed an act to prevent these
people from voting or holding office, there
might have been some little excuse for their
vernon and bitterness but it did no such
thing, but treated them just as it did the
loyal people 1t is as much as human can
bear to hear these :vipers denouncing mem
bers of the Convention as usurpers fools,
wretches, &c, = The publication of
Ruffin's letter was the signal for action
against the Constitution, and its opponents,

Johnson's provisional Governor, is for it,
such were the appeals made to the people,
and they had their effect.''
Aside from the injurious effect which the
rejection of the instrument will have on the
State abroad, our friend deprecates as we do
the bitterness of feeling which will be en-
gendered between the East and the West
But in demanding the white basis the Vest
aciU be in the right, and her loyal massess
joined to loyal minoritles elsewhere in the
State, will have it at all hazards.
II may be, however, that the Congress,
which is to re-assemble in December next,
will settle all these matters for u.s. and thus

other roots of bitterness upon US. Who can

Gen. Sheridan telegraphs to-day to Gen.
