from the notorious Colonel Bowels
to the editor of the New York Free
mans Journal, and elorifes him in
his work of conspiracy and infamy,
in the following editorial comment:
"Col, mel Bowels was opposed, as we
were, to the late war between the States.
AS an honest old DE- mocrat he was bound
to oppose it. In the attempt to organize re-
sistance to it at the North-which never
came to anythin practically-and never
amounted TO constructive conspiracy
we met Colonel Bowles in diffe emit aplaces,
in the organization known as the Sons of
Liberty For his connection with this or
ganization he was tried and condemned to
be hanged. We were as deep in that
movement as he was, and SO testified un-
der oath, before the same military commits
sion that condemned him. Col. Bowels
did what we did in that movement, and
nothing more. He strove to awaken the
sentiment among Democrats at the North
that, under the guise of war with the
South all orr liberties were attacked, and
the fundamental principles of our political
order were in process of obliteration. We
did what we had the constitutional right
to do-resist Federal encroachments on
our State rights" saff 4 Aui78D .9ff

Every few Sentences, and sometimes
each sentence of "a whole SERIES.
brought forth rapturous outbursts Of
appreciation. He told home truths,
and the people recognized them; he
drew the moral of the facts, and it
was what had lain in the heart of
every one of them. The sympathy

The ARMY of the Repnblic.

We find the following in the India
napolis Herald, in notice Of some of
the charitable operations of the Army
of the Republic in that city. We
commend it to the attention of those
Democratic organs, which have not
been able to find any good whatever
in these soldier Organizations. All
over this State and the West the Ar
my Of the Republic is doing more
than any other institution in relieving
the wants of the widows aud orphans
Of soldiers, and in so far at least as
it is doing these acts of charity, it
should commend itself to the liberali-
ty and good will of the public.
GRAND ARMY BALL.-The proceeds Of
this entertainment, t. be given at Mar
mont's Hall, this evening, are to be applied
to the relief of the suffering widows and
orphans of the soldiers who lost their lives
during the late war. 1t deserves the most
liberal patronage. Whatever the Grand
Army may be, politically, it is undoubtedly
capable of doing much good in the direc-
ton in which it is now directing its efforts,
and in doing that good, is worthy of every
aid and encouragement that our citizens
can give it, e .

Paper,

The tenacity with which the price
of printing paper keeps upis a marvel
to newspaper publishers, When the
advance took place it was charged
against the gold market tAll owing
to the advance in gold" blandly re-
piled the complacent manufacturer
to every protest of. the hard pressed
newspaper man. The latter, h. peful
for a speedy decline, bore the impo-
sition as best he could, by cutting off
some other expenses, and by claiming
double duty himself. Soon gold came
tumbling down From $50 it came
down to $50, and even to 121, Now,
thought the. seedy publishers, is our
time. As gold caused the advance, it
must also occasion corresponding
decline But they were disappointed.
Paper still ruled high Then came
the cry of scarcity of rags, high
tariff on chemicals, and the washing
away Of dams, all of which conspired
to keep paper up to the extortionate
figure where the advance in gold
placed it. Paper that cost eight
to nine cents per pound before the
war now costs eighteen to twenty
cents, or about the rates current when
gold was 2S0. 4aai,a...
The present prohibitory tariff is,
evidently, the cause of these high
prices. Were Congre,s to reduce the
tariff to level with the Internal
Revenue tax, we apprehend that paper
would take tumble in spite Of the
duties on chemicals, the high price
of rags, or the washing away of dams.
Paper that now costs 20 cents per
pound in this country, can be pur-
chased in Europe for "a to 8cin gold.
Exclusive of the tariff, such paper
could be imported to Cincinnati, ac-
eording to the Gazette, for lac per
pound in greenbacks. But so long as
Congress persists in keeping a prohib-
itory tax on paper, we can hardly hope
for a reduction in the price. The
1 people may expect to continue to fat
ten large corporations by thus rob-
bling many of the poor of the intel
lectual food that makes them stronger
and better citizens. r

This is alarming. Your real fanatic is
always the most DANGEROUS when he
draws closest around him the mantle OF
piety and when he wants to take courage
for some new deviltry he becomes, prayer
full. When we hear of Rump-Puritan
Radicals in prayer meeting, we cannot
help thinking of Cromwell's bloody troop
ers, who rode with a Bible on one side of
their saddle-bow and battle axe on the
other. Beecher caught the exactidea and
inspiration in his gift of testaments and
Sharp's rifles. Cannot President john
son veto this prayer meeting business, on
the ground that it is utterly repugnant to all
moral constitutions that Jacobins. whose
hearts are oyerhowing with uncharitable-
ness, rancor and revenge, should pray God
to have mercy on them. Anything on

COMMISSIONERS TO WAsHINGToN.-Gov-
ernor Worth, in compliance with Instructions
from the Legislature, has designated the fol
lowing gentlemen as commissioners to Wash
ington on the land tax, &c.
A. S. Merrimon, Of Buncombe.
John A Gilmer, of Guilford.
James NJ. Leach, OF Davidson.
P. II. Winston, of BERTHE.
Bedford Brown, of Caswcll.
These are iudicious selections, and we have
no doubt the interests of the people Will be
advanced bv their visit to the capital OF this
nation-Raleigh Progress.
The land tax in this State is nearly all col
lectcd. The Secretary of the Treasury, some
months since, in response to the appeals of
some of our people, endorsed by Judge Sears,
the chief collector, agreed to suspend tenn
porarily the collection of the land tax in the
Western Counties. We do not know but
that the law is imperative, and the Secretary
may feel it to be his duty to proceed at once
with the collection of the tax. In this event
the appeal will necessarily be to the Con
gress. If So it seems to us that the commits
sion above announced has not been so cOnsti-
tuted as to have weight with that body. We
can readily imagine that one or two ofthe gen.
tlemen named might have influence with the
Congress- but majority of them would not
have any more than Gov. Worth. 1t is much
to be regretted that the affairs of our suffer-
ing people are in the hands of an official like
Gov. Worth, who is dcservedly so obnoxious
to the Congress. 1t is body which he has
deliberately pronounced in his message IN
constitutional, thus placing it out OF his pow
er to approach it with such confidence IN and
respect for it as to ensure responses which
will be beneficial to our people. In fine, he
has destroyed his usefulness so far as his re-
lations to the national law making power are
concerned.
But we think it probable that this land
tax matter is simply an incident to the COM
mission. The general understanding among
those well-informed in Raleigh is, that the
commission is a political one, and that its
object is to prevent the passage OF MIR. Ste
vens' bill to reorganize the Southern States.
All the gentlemen named are banned by the
Howard amendment, which will certainly be-
come part OF the Constitution. We pre-
sumo all of them are opposed to that amend
ment. This being the case, even if they were
not embarrassed by the unpopularity of Gov.
Worth with the Congress, they would not
be able on their own account to make much
Roadway in any thing with the Congress, be-
cause of their opposition to that mild and
liberal proposition.
We are not authorized to speak for any of
the gentlemen named in the commission, but
we venture the opinion that one of them, the
Hon. Bedford Brown, will not accept.
