THE Democracy are great on
retrenchment, but we have
failed to see any measure look
ing to that end from our pres
ent Legislature, unless they
consider their refusal to make
an appropriation to pay sol
diers the bounties provided by
law, as they did last week, a
measure Of retrenchment. We
call it reputation, and the
meanest kind, too; but it is in
strict compliance with the

THE Enquirer copies and en-
dorses the following buncombe
ticket: "For President General
Greenbacks; for Vice Presi-
dent General Low Taxes" This
ticketresembles the one gotten
up at Chicago, in 1863, General
Greenbacks being the war fea-
ture, and General Low Taxes
being necessarily the peace
feature. A very nice ticket to
look upon, and one calculated
to catch votes-if the people
were allfools. They, "the dear
people" however ask for some
thing substantial to vote for
Something like this: For Presi-
dent, the only practical econo-
mist connected with the pres
ent administration; the man
who having conquered the re.
bellion, stood between the Pres.
ident and the rebels, when he
was roaring around like a stage
struck fool, for "blood,". and,
again stood between him and a
return. Of the rebels to power
over Southern loyalists; the
man who holds rebels in the
same estimate to-day that he
did when he gave them their
paroles, and who does not know
too much to obey the laws of
his country; in short, plain,
honest ULYSSES S. GRANT. For
Vice President, any honest,

AS the Zaleski Echo general
ly copies Macarthur items from

the proper credits therefor, we
desire to call their attention to

doubt have noticed the i'm
in the Enquirer's
local column since the week
the Echo r published it en-
tire. as a specimen Of Nc
Arthur news and if they should
compare the locals with those
of the Record, they will dis
cover an astonishing similarity.
We are not particular to which
paper the Echo credits the
items, should they desire to clip
any of them. In fact, after
the Enquirer, we are
in doubt ourselves as to who
prepared that local column.
All we know about it is that

days before the Enquirer went
to press. .,

Thieves have been visiting the sta
bles of the farmers in the northern part Of
this town and stealing their harness. One
night last week they entered the stable Of
the man who occupies the farm formerly
owned by Christ Nelson, and took all the
harness they could find except an old col
lar, which they probably concluded was
not worth carrying of. On Saturday night
they visited the stable of Mr.. Latte and
helped themselves TO his harness. The
stable doors were locked, the thieves get
ting in from behind, or they would proba-
bly, have taken the horses.
