The Virginia Situation.

Governor WALKER the candidate elect, has
been installed as Provisional Governor, unit
such time as he can take position as the
Chief Magistrate of Virginia as State.
1t will now be seen whether the profes
sions made by WALKER and his party were
made in good faith, and whether their promi
ses of support of the administration will be
kept.
This cannot, of course, be accurately de.
termined until Virginia feels herself safely
in the Union, yet now that they are in power
there will be things done which will give a
clue to the real motives and purposes ofthe
WALKER party.
We do not question the sincerity of either
WALKER or his party. We do not predict
that they will prove false to their pledges
On the contrary, we are willing to believe in
them until they give indubitable proofs that
they do not intend to live up to their former
declarations.
These proofs we hope we shall never see.
If WALKER and his party are true to their
professions, they will do much good, not
only to Virginia but to the whole South. II
they support the administration of GRANT,
as they have avowed it their purpose to do,
they will do much to lessen the bitterness
which has pervaded politics and injured the
South.
The question is-will they do it, We
shall see.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS schools,

And now, it appears, we are to have no free
schools in the State, at least by State agency.
| The STANDARD of Thursday has issued the fat,
''no more appropriations for any purpose r'
They have exhausted the resources of the State
in appropriations to benefit, not the State, but
the "Ring," and now, the cry is ''retrench-
ment, "no more appropriations. ."-Sentinel
The Sentinel either purposely distrusts
the meaning of our article, or else is ex-
tremely stupid. Probably it is little of
both. -.-G
The STANDARD qualified its declaration
by saying ''We do not wish to see another
dollar appropriated for any purpose, sare the
necessary expenses et'the government"
The keeping up of schools is one of the
necessary expenses of the government and
is so considered -...
Therefore we do not take ground against
free schools. On the contrary we desire to
see everything done to give the children of
our State every educational advantage pos
sible. We wish to see the children of the
people given every opportunity to obtain an
education that they may be able to become
good and useful citizens and qualified to
take their places in the Legislature of the
State. The people and men from the peo-
pie have never had much to do with govern
ing North Carolina, or it would have been
governed better. We wish to see the people
govern in future. Thus we are unquestion-
ably in favor of free schools and their sup
port by the State. What we wished to saw.
and what we did say, was that we are
opposed to any more appropriations for any
purpose outside the necessary expenses of
the government educational branch
being, ofcourse, included.
We do not wish to see another dollar add
ed to the State debt
We do not wish to see another cent or an
other mill added to the rate of taxation.
The people complain of high taxes. The
Supreme Court has decided certain appro-
priations unconstitutional. Very well. Let
/ us have no more appropriations until the
people themselves again ask for them and
are willing to stand the consequent taxation
without grumbling. l .s....,ts.

Democratic Impudence.

The following, from the Chicago Rspuot'-
can, is so truthful and so much to the point
that wecopy it entire. The Republican says
"It is decidedly amusing to read some OF the
resolutions embodied in Democratic plat
forms nowadays, and then TO contrast their
demands with what is taking place through
out the country. The following plank from
the declaration of principles by the Penn
sylvania Democracy is an example:
"Resoleed, That reform in the administration
of the Federal and State Governments, and in
the arrangement of the financial affairs, is imper
itiyely demanded.
When this resolution was promulgated,
Postmaster General Cresswen had, by re-
trenchment, fidelity in the performance of
his official duties, and vigilance and reform
infused into his Department, effected saw
ing of 81 100000 where Postmaster-General
Randall had predicted deficit of $3,5OO, 900.
The Secretary of the Navy, by withdrawing
various vessels from commission and other
sagacious management, had produced a
marked reduction in expenditures, with an
accompanying improvement in affairs under
his charge. Our Finance Minister had ex-
posed and brought to justice swarm of
defrauders, had discharged several hundreds
of supernumerary clerks, had reduced the
expenses of his Department to the lowest
standard compatible with effectiveness, had
enforced more complete collection of in
ternal revenue and custom duties than had
been thought practicable, and had dimin-
ished the public debt over thirty million
dollars, now augmented to nearly fifty mil
lions. The administration of the War De-
partment had been attended with like
economy indeed every branch of the gov
ernment had undergone a thorough scrutiny,
with view to the curtailment of its expen-
ditures in every practicable and rational
way. In the face of these conspicuous and
notorious facts, here comes the Democratic
party, demanding, in the name of the gen
eral welfare, that the reforms already accom-
plished, which displayed remarkable judgg-
ment, integrity, diligence, knowledge, man
agement and good intentions, and which as
tonished and delighted the country by the
magnitude of their achievements, should
be themselves reformed What could such
a thing be but progressing backward-a re-
troactive reform which means nothing less
than return to the extravaganza, ineffi-
cheney, intrigue and wide spread corruption
which characterized the administration of
Andrew johnson? Kicked down by the
people from the top of the political ladder,
and lying in supine weakness and effete
helplessness at the bottom, the repudiated
Democracy shout back demand to be re-
stored to the heights from which they have
been so ignominiously cast down, in order
that they may stop the purifaction going on
in the filth of the Augcan stable which was
of their own creation. There is cool

Let the Good Punish the Bad. .

There ME times in the lives of nations
when it becomes necessary for the good,
wise and patriotic to unite that the machin.
ations of dcmagogucs, may be thwarted and
the excesscs of the bad restrained To fail in
this would be to consign the nation to an
archy, its people to ruin, its honor to the
hands of bad men.
This time has now come upon the people
of the South
A spirit of anarchy prevails which, if un-
checked will, soon bring upon US the re-
proaches of the world, and ruin to our peo-
pie. We allude to the political murders
which so frequently occur in certain portions
of the South.
We have no disposition to make party
capital from these horrible crimes. We
have never attempted to do so, and never
will.
While we differ in our political belief
with members of the opposition, we
do not wish to believe that as party they
approve of the crimes committed in the in
terests of their party. ....
We know scores of gentlemen-''Demo-
crats"-in this city who condemn in the
strongest terms those vile men who are en-
deavoring to make the knife of the assassin
political weapon. ..
Knowing this, we have never charged
the opposition with having, as party,
sanctioned the horrible murders which have
been committed by members of the party
to which they belong.
But now we appeal to the good and true
men of North Carolina, without regard to
party, to do all in their power to crush out
the spirit of murder which now seems to
control certain portions of the State.
We do not wish to regard the men who,
under the name of the "Ku, Klux Klan,
commit outrages which disgrace the State,as
anything but criminals, and lawless rufians,
who give their deeds political significance
that they may the more readily escape
punishment.
But to regard them in this way, it is nc
cessary that the good and respectable men
of the party whose protection they claim
should denounce their pretensions to be con-
sidered members of that party. 1t is ne
ccssary that they should unite with others in
putting down an organization of cowardly
murderers who keep the country in disorder
and bring reproach upon the State.
The claims of the Ku Klux to be consid.
cred Democrats have been by Demo
Gratis denied. If it was ever doubtful that
they call themselves Democrats" it is so
no longer, as the recent trials of Ku Klux at
New Bene, and the testimony of men who
had belonged to the organization, have
proven the fact beyond doubt.
In view of this fact we call upon the
respectable men of the democratic" party
to refuse to countenancc, even by their
silence, men who are known to be mur-
derers. We call upon the good men OF
all parties to unite in furnishing the wretches
who are bringing infamy upon North Caro-
lima by their hellish crimes.

What we Mean.

men. What does the Standard mean ? Doa.
its editor or its supporters desire bloodsbaSs,
Has it in the above thrown down the pann,
let? We advise peace, moderation and for.
bearance.
The above extract is from an article in fl,
Salisbury Examiner.
The advice of the STANDARD was not 70
the.sLoyal League but to any loyal man
who may be assailed by the Ku Klux, and !,
is well known that they assail none but Re
publicans. The editor of the STANDARD
does not belong to the Loyal League, Or to
any secret society, political or otherwise.
But the Examiner asks "what does tbo
STANDARD mean ?"
We mean this
We have seen that forlearance has cea05
to be virtue, and that the Ku Klux but,ad
| to the number of their cowardly assault
and We advise men who are assailed by them
| to resist their attacks and meet force with
force, and blood with blood.
/ We wish to see loyal men prepared to
resist attacks, but do not wish them to fipb,
until they are attacked.
In short we wish every community which
is attacked by Ku Klux to kill as MANY of
them as they can, and not let all the kiln,
be on one side as heretofore.
The Examiner says it advises peace, mod
Grafton, and forbearance."
We have advised the same thing for
long time, but we do not see that the Ku
Klux have lessened their villianies. Wead.
wise "peace, moderation and forbearance u
now, but we do not wish it to be all on ous
side. Its poor rule that don't work both
ways.
Our advice to Republicans is to kill men
who come to kill hem-is there ANYTHING
wrong or unjust about that2
Orwould the Examiner have Republican,
be so peaceful, so moderate, so forbearine as
to sit still while the respectable" Ku Klux
cut their throats, hang them or torture them
at will Is this the peace and moderation
and forbcarance the Examiner advisesl II
so we do not second its advice.
We do not "desire bloodshed," but we de.
sire still less to see our friends murdered in
cold blood. We throw down no gauntlet
we invite no attack-we simply tell loyal
men to fight yhen assailed IF there is any
thing wrong, unfair, OR bloodthirsty about
that we cannot see it.
We have repeatedly given evidence Of
our readiness to assist in preventing the
crimes which are bringing reproach upon
North Carolina. We have asked the good
men of the State soithout regard TO party
to use their influence to crush out the spirit
of murder which is so terribly rife in Ger
tain portions of the State. We want mur
derers punished, no matter to wha; party
they may claim to belong.
This is our position. Can the Examiner
or anyone else, see anything unjust or wrong
in it2

" Democratic - Predictions,

The Democratic" papers are never
weary of predicting the downfall of the Re
publican party. There were to be great
Democratic gains in Vermont. The election
over, 1t is found that the Democrats have not
only not gained, but have lost.
The result in Vermont is dropped by the
Democratic papers, and no illusions to it
are heard.
Maine was the next State to become the
object of Democratic predictions. In Maine
Republicanism was 'played out, and the elec,
tlon was to result in signal triumph of the
Democracy, who were to rule things with a
high hand. The result was to be such an
utter demolition of the Republican party as
would show the world that the Republican
party was dead, and the Democracy well
and vigorous.
The election came Gov. CHAMBERLAIN
was electedby a majority of eight thousand
over the two opposing candidates. The
Tsplit in the Republican party" amounted
! TO but little. Adding the Republican votes
received by HIcHBoRN to CHAMBERLA1N's
majority and the Republicans show ma
jority over the Democrats of over seventeen
thousand, and this on popular vote of forty
one thousand less than last year! Pretty
good for demolished party The Demo-
Gratis don't like to talk about Maine now,
and look sick when the result of the Maine
election is mentioned
And now they are predicting the down
fall of the Republican party in North
Carolina This prediction is even more
foolish, if possible, than those concerning
Vermont and Maine. The Republican par
ty of North Carolina is stronger to-day than
ever before by at least ten thousand votes.
And as its principles become more thorough
ly known, it gains still more rapidly. One
or two discontented Republicans may think
things are going wrong because they do not
get all they wish, or are not given degree
of importance they fancy due them, but the
party does not suffer from their grumbling,
and fourishes as never before
The truth is, the Republican party of
North Carolina was never SO strong as to-
day, and the Democrats" despite their
predictions, know it,

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
September Is, 1869.
SIR-I have been shown this morning copy
of letter addressed TO you by D. C. Mayo g.
Co., dated September 9th, endorsed by you, in
which the writer asks permission ito use stamps
of the denominations OF one, two, and three
pounds, new issue..which have already been at
tached to the boxes and also to attach the stamps
to the heads of the boxes, instead of cutting
grooves and attaching them to the sides.
If the leading stamps of the old issue are al
ready attached, aud the smaller stamps of the
same issue are not to be procured by Mr.. Mayo,
no objection will be made by this office to the
use of the new stamps to make out the compile
ment and fully stamp the package according to
the amount OF tax payable on each package. All
leading stamps representing the higher denomi-
nations, or serial numbers, when applied to
packages, must be attached as prescribed in the
regulations (series 5, No. 81 If they are to be
applied to packages already put up, the growing
may, at the option of the manufacturers, be dis
pensed with, and any other mode of protecting
the stamp from destruction, wear, or abration,
adopted which the parties in interest may think
proper. The manufacturer is mainly interested
in the protection of the stamp until the package
is emptied and the contents disposed of. The
Government requires that neither the package,
the stamp, nor the stamp portion, shall be used
again.
