will be restored, and will be so endowed and
conducted as to rival Yale and Harvard
The loyal people of this State, who are to
pay the taxes to support this institution, will
not tolerate as President thereof such man
as Vance, or George Davis, or Gen. 10 john
ston, or DR.. Deems, or Gen. M. W. Ransom.
There are Others, natives of the State, who
add to an unb,emished loyalty the highest
attachments as scholars. Especially, is it
not to be thought of for moment that dis
loyalist like Doctor Vance, who cannot con-
jugate single Latin or Greek verb, and who
is Ignorant of the syntax, prosody, &C., OF
his own tongue, should be called TO preside
over such an institution.
A Card.
To the Editors Of the Standard Il learn
that r. p Finch, the tax collector for this
district, has reported me as refusing to pay
my tax. Mr. Finch has never demanded my
taxes. He came to my store to collect, and
several came in and paid him; and can
prove that I never counseed any one not to
pay. I have paid Mr. Finch part of my tax.
Mr. Finch sent me an order for bacon, and
said in his note he had the tax list to COL
lect; therefore let him have the bacon to
go towards settling my taxes. am prepar-
ed to settle with him any day the balance
due, and 1 should like to know why my
name is used when not one in twenty paid
their tax the day he was here. By giving
this place you will much oblige
ID. HAYES.
Aug. 10. 1867.
The Sentinel of the 9th brought this false
charge against MIR. Hayes. 1t is bad enough
to have to pay taxes to support the existing
rebel State government, but it is still harder
to be slandered and lied upon about it. No
one pays these taxes cheerfully, but they are
nevertheless paid, and will DE, to the last
farthing. The people feel, in the first place,
that they are forced from them to pamper
and support set of graceless rebels and en-
emies to the government of the United
States; and in the second place, they have
no we'll grounded assurance that they will be
applied to any good purpose.
Mr.. Hayes is known to be IN uniinching
Union man. Hence this false report which
has been raised against him.
The Sentinel evidently desires, from tie
tone of its article, that Gen. Sickles would
try Mr.. Hayes on this false charge, convict
him, and sentence him to hard labor at Fort
Macon. We think, on the contrary, that it
would be but just to punish the Editors of
that paper for publishing this unmitigated
lie on Mr.. Hayes. That gentleman has no
redress for this attempt to iniure his charac-
ter. High times, indeed, when that infa-
mously reasonable sheet warns loyal men,
in the name of Gen. Sickles, (Which, of
course. it uses without the slightest authori-
ty,) that they may "render themselves liable
to punishment But the Sentinel is the
mouth-piece of Gov. Worth, who is nnfor-
tunately recognized by Gen. Sickles, and to
that extent its statements carry with them
an air of authority.
The Jackson Democrat, Mississippi, pub
fishes, in the biggest type its limited print
ing office can supply, this alarming decree:
THE Negroes must be Deported or EX-
TERMINATED All the devil-begotten
imps of darkness, whether black or brown,
whether NEGROES or Indians, whether
Mongols or mulattoes, should ut once he dis
missed, and that torecer, FROM THE CARE,
FROM THE SIGHT: and EVEN from
the THOUGHTS OF THE HE4 VEN
BORN WHITES" Without the aid of the
negroes the editor of the Democrat would
probably be begging his bread, and we are
quite sure that if he executes his dire and
dreadful threat, he will find that he has de-
ported and eXterminated his dinner-New
York Tribune.
What substantial difference is there be-
tween the above and the following, from a
letter recently addressed by Gov. Worth to
the people OF this State2 Gov Worth says:
Whatever may be the final settlement of
the questions as to the political equality of
the two races, or the superiority OF the one
over the other it is certain that for long
time to come, unless humanity is to be shock
ed by the expulsion or annihllatlon OF one
race or the other, this State is to be inhabi-
interest of both races to live together in
peace and friendship. each acting kindly and
Justly towards the other"
Gov Worth well knows that there is no
probability that Uhirty-iv millions of whites
in this country, for the most part intelligent,
and possessed of all the governments and
nearly all the property, will be driven out or
annihilated by the comparatively feeble ne
gro race. The suggestion, therefore, looks to
the expulsion or annih5lation Of the colored
race. 1t was so intended, and if brought to
the book Gov. Worth would be obliged to
swear that it was. When this is coupled with
the fact that Gov. Worth proposed in one of
his messages to distribute the colored people
of this State throughout the United States,
it assumes peculiar significance. Has General
Sickles given particular attention to the
above language in Gov. Worth's address?
The disunion presses are publishing what
they call Record of Scoundreism," con-
sisting of some statements of man named
Durham, or Conover, to the effect that Mr..
Ashley and other members of Congress had
by bribery and subornation of
perjury to impeach the President. This
man Conover Is now in the penitentiary for
perjury. He is man of desperately wicked
character. He is a good witness for the per-
