The reported removal of S. Ferguson Beach,
WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER 90

The reported removal of S. Ferguson Beach,
esq, from the office of Z. s. District Attorney,
seems to be confirmed. We have not during
nor since the war, agreed, in political opinion,
with Mr.. Beach; but a difference in politics
does not prevent US from speaking in common
iation Of his character and abilities, and Of the
manner in which he has, as far as we know,
discharged the duties Of the legal Office to
which he was appointed, and which he has
held up to this time. Mr.. B., though not a
native OF this State, has resided here from his
youth, ADD is identified 10 all respects with our
interests-being one Of our best citizens and
ablest lawyers. He was decided in his Union
sentiments all through, and his course as q
member of the Republican party, sometimes
Jared against the feelings OF majority of our
people but he never lost their respect anG
coufience-or the esteem Of his friends, and
OF all parties. We, therefore, unite in the gen
eral regret which Is expressed at his removal
from Office We presume the reason-as is
now so often the c,se-is, that he is not ultra
enough to suit the ultra Radicals. 1t so, We
record the fact 70 his credit OF the capablIi-
ties of his successor, We know nothing, nor Of
the Influences which contributed 20 his selection
ter the office.

Gen. Hiram Walbridge, of New York, at
meeting of the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce yesterday gave an interesting account OF
the Louisville convention, stating that it was
national in its character, embracing delegates
from every State in the Union. He said that
the most prominent sentiments in the conven'
ton were that the public debt should be paiu
as it was stipulated when contracted; that Tue
Soul had been impoverished BY the war; anu
the opinion of the convention was that sue
should be aided by the general government So
as to he enabled 10 develop the vast natural re-
sources Of that region, and to this end the con-
vention was decidedly in favor OF opening a
water line of communication between the Ohlo
and the Atlantic, to reconstruct the levees on
the Mississippi, and to give aid to steam lines
projected between Southern ports and Europe,
and aid in the construction of another trans
continental railway.
The Washington correspondent of the BaItl'
more Sun says: THE action of the Virginia
Legislature in electing Senators who can take
the iron cl12 oath meets with the warm COM
mendation of the President. 1t is stated that
10 conversation yesterday he expressed the
opinion that there was nothing in the way OF
the admission Of the State. He has no conf
dencein the threats ofthe defeated Of the Wells
party to contest the election on the grounds OF
fraud aud intimidation.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
directed that distiIlers of brandy from apples,
peaches, and grapes, be exempted from the
provisions of the law which required them to
nut up the brandy they distill from fruits IN
casks Of not less capacity than twenty gallons
wine measure aud that hereafter, until other
wise ordered, they b, allowed to put up such
spirits in packages of ten proof gallons or up
ward
The Fredericksburg News says The new
Assessor of this District, DR.. Smith, has en-
tered upon the discharge of his duties, anc
forthwith discharged nearly all the luterna
| Revenue Assessors, &C., Messrs. B. McCrack'
en-, II. Clay Emerson, Geo. j. Haines and b
b. Pritchard, and appointed others in thei
places,
The proper, manly, and ''judicious, (ultl
mately) refusal of the Legislature Of Virginia
to pass resolutions of congratulation on the re
suit Of the recent elections in Pennsy
Ohio and Iowa, is to be urged as reason To-
not allowing the "Reconstruction" OF Virginia
Reconstruction on such basis would be worth
less.

It will be recollectcd that some two years
ago it was discovered that spurious Seven.thir-
ty bonds we're in circulation, and the notes
we're so well executed that it puzzled the best
Of experts to discover which was genuine and
which counterfeit Of that denomination in cir
culatlon, and about sixty thousand dollars of
spurious bonds were taken by the government
officers in the nited States Treasury. The
proof has been obtained within few days past
that the plate from which the spurious issue
was printed is an clccro:ypc from the original
plate, aud that the elecrotyping was done in
the Treasury printing bureau Particulars as to
the manner and by whom the counterfeit was
obtained are withheld for the present, This
statement is made by the usually well advised
CORE ,pOndent Of the Baltimore Sun. But We
see, that some Of the Treasury officials contra
diet, or rather, doubt it.

It's said that Presbyterian Church at At
lanta, Georgia, invited Bishop Simpson, Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, to preach in
its pulpit, white he was recently in that city
The Bishop accepted, but "oltslde pressure
subsequently compelled the church to withdraw
its initiation, because during the war the Bishop
had been a sympathizay with the Union. This
is, if true, as bad as the case in Albany,
,here the minister OF Baptist Church there,
had invited DR. Burrows Of Redmond, to
preach, and the congregation would not let him
preach, because he had been "a sympathser
with the South.

The New York Herald Of yestor day, says
The steamship Pereire, Of the Havre line, ar
rived from Europe yesterday, having made the
quickest passage across the Atlantic on record.
She left Eiavre on the 9th inst. at four p. NJ,
and passed Sandy Hook yesterday morning at
eight o'clock, making the entire distance OF
over 5000 miles in eight days and sixteen
hours. Her officers report that she would have
been in five hours earlier had it not been for
the strong head wind encountered on the last
two days Of the passage The Pcreirc has made
a number o! very quick passages. In Novem'
Der last she made remarkable voyage, and
her last trip preceding this was also 4 very quick
one. The average Of the present trip was
nearly fourteen aud half miles per hour.
The New York Tribune has paragraph to
the effect that many thousand fraudulent votes
were cast in the last Presidential election in
that city; but even if the fact were proved, it
would avail nothing, as under the ballot sys
ten, it could not be shown for whom they were
cast. The evil many be palpablc and incon-
testable, but there is no remedy for it. While
both parties thus concede the inherent iniquitios
Of the secret ballot system, but few will raise
their voices against it-becauSe, it Is thought,
it Is Just now popular That which is pop
ular is not always RIGHT, and we are for the
RIGHT, be it ever 50 unpopular.

That the following be added after the total

According to the experience gained dur
ing the 8 financial years from the 1st April
1865 to 3lst March 1868 regarding the re-
lationS between the estimated and the actual
amounts expended, the following amount may
be deducted from that estimated in the Bud
get ll,5OO.
The fatal amount of expenditure estimated will
accordingly be $lSl, 642.
Eventually with the reductions posted in the
GrantS).''
The Governor stated, that according to the
resolutions Of the Council in the End discussion
of the respective Money-Bills the following al
t%erations in the draft of the Budget had been
adopted:
Item of expenditure D. S: The Pilot and
Harbor-D Department has been reduced from
S1,6S4 to S 1886.
d. 10: Public Instruction increased from
SIl 1920 to S11 ,416.
D. 10: Poor Department was reduced from
$685. to $4,925.
T.: Buildings and other uncertain expenses
reduced from S1I ,006 to 1924,
which alterations in all amounted to a reduction
of 1914, whereby the total amount @. the
draft has been reduced from $193,142 to
$191,0OS. AS the revenue of the draft $1SI,430
remains unaltered, it would give an apparent
deficiency Of about $4,000, but according to
his statement at the introduction of the Budget
and under its 1st discussion, he has now pro-
posed an amendment to add a remark to the
close of the Budget, that according to the ex-
perience of the 3 financial years from the 1st of
April 1865 to the 3lSt of March 1868 it may
be calculated, that from the total amount of all
the items of expenditure may be deducted
S11,5o0. AS pointed out in the remarks to the
draft Of the Budget the expenditure accoNling
to the Budget for the said 8 years had been
estimated as follows in 1S65-66 $193,167, in
I666-67 to $I95.O13, in 1867-6S $196,957 to
s196,957, but the actual expenses did only
amount in 1866 to $17S,982, in 1s66-67 to
S163. 1876, in 1857 IS to S184,070, according to
- 1-1.-- 80 - Ill -
