Let there be no Democratic Deputies.

Notwithstanding that many officers have
acknowledged their error and discharged
their Democratic deputies since we pointed
out to them the evil they we're sustaining,
there are many officers, claiming to be Re-
publicans, who still retain in office men who
are openly hostile to the Republican party.
Those who do so may simply be negligent,
but they must now do what is plainly their
duty to the people who elected them, or
forfeit the confidence and esteem of their
party. 1t is the duty of every man in whom
the people have reposed trust to attend to
the interests of his party while holding that
trust. Every community has always two
parties, the one being opposed to that which
governs. The party which is ont is always
an opposition party, and does all in its
power to embarrass that which is in power.
1t is then manifestly unwise for the party in
power to entrust any portion of the admin
istration of its affairs to men who are opposed
to its principles, for it is but reasonable to
thus given them to the damage of the gov
ernment. No man trusts the management
Of his affairs to a personal enemy, nor should
any party entrust the management of
its affairs to political enemy. If any Re
publican officer, who has been elected by
Republican votes to a position Of trust,
keeps or places any but Republicans in any
office, no matter how small may be its inn
portance, he has betrayed the confidence of
those who trusted him.. By keeping in office
men who are opposed to Republican princi-
Piles, he has put into their hands power to
be used against Republicans and the Repub-
lican party. He has also given aid and CON-
fort to the enemy, and has injured his own
friends. If the Democratic party should
ever get into power, then it will be time to
have Democratic officials, but until then we
want to see no man in office who is not a
true Republican. Every Republican officer
who has Democratic deputies must at once
remove them and put true men in their places,
or he will forfeit the confidence of Republi-
cans, and will never again be deemed worthy
of their trust. Let every officer who has
been thus negligent in the discharge of his
duty be so no longer, or, failing to do better,
he nay understand that he no longer has the
confidence and esteem of the men whose
trust he thus betrays. In the future he will
be deemed unworthy to hold any office, and
will be treated as a man who has endeavor-
ed TO injure the men who gave him theil
votes. Let our friends in all parts of the
State mark the men who thus disregard tht
wishes of the people who elected them, thai
at the next election they may be displaced
and their places filled with men who vii
respect the wishes of the people.

Butter color and green are said to be the
latest hair tints in Paris" A woman with
green hair tint appeared on the street of
Raleigh. the other day, and the editor of the
Standard ni5bled away at the woman's head,
thinking it was grass.-W WI. Star.
This IS news to US, for we never have any
thing to do with grass widows. If anybody
nibbled at her it wasn't US, and whoever did
it must have taken her for an hair ess Be-
sides the Bible says "all flesh is grass"
and being of a goodly corporosity, we think
that, under this explanation of human ma
ture, we must be load Of fhay, judging from
the number of Democratic asses which have
been biting at US of late.

Everybody remembers with what howl
of exultation the Raleigh Sentinel and the
rest of the copperhead press copied what
they said was an item from Harper's Weekly,
denuncia;ery of carpet-baggers. 1t now
turns out, just as we supposed, that nothing
of the kind ever appeared in the Weekly,
and the Sentinel gets very sharp rap over
the knuckles, from the Weekly, for it gratui-
tous falsehood. People should be very
careful about believing anything they may
find in the Sentinel, for its reputation for
veracity is very bad. a aasgJ

The New Berne Journal of Commerce has
an article, evidently aimed at the STANDARD,
in which it says "the Radical press are
preaching cessation of political hostilities."
The Journal is entirely wrong, we do not
"preach" a cessation of political hostalities
We wish to have political questions discus
sed in all their bearings and to the end, for
upon the free discussion of political subjects
depends the welfare of the nation But we
do not wish to see the affairs of the nation
argued in spirit of sectional or personal
hatred, for such arguments cannot but re-
suit disastrously to every interest of the
State, and injuriously to the welfare of the
people. We wish every issue, state and ma
tlonal, to be freely and openly argued, that
The people may judge which party will do
The most to benefit the people of North
Carolina. The bitterness and hatred which
mas prevailed has not only acted to the poll
ucal prejudice of our people, but has injured
every business interest of the State If the
republicans are willing to d9 away with
tlis spirit and make the political issue SIM

surely the Democrats should be willing to
meet US half way. Their unwillingness to

The N. Y. Times in a New Role.

The New York Times finds fault with the
STANDARD. 1t thinks we are too personal!
1t says personalities have long been discon-
tinued by the leading Journals of that and
other large cities but Southern and Western
papers still fire away at each other" What
New York and other large cities may do
cannot be considered as binding the papers
of the "South and West" to do likewise.
The "South and West" have pleasant habit
of doing very much as they please, without
having the fear of New York before them.
Beside, the example set by the New York
press has not been of such high character
as to command an extreme degree of respect.
We outside barbarians cannot be made to
understand how papers which are constantly
teeming with vulgar abuse of each other can
set themselves up as models of journalistic
purity. When they do so, the untutored
obstinate as to revert to that section OF the
Bible which talks strongest against hgpo-
critics. The time is not yet beyond the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant when the
Times man scattered his verbal filth upon
every one who was unfortunate enough to
come near him. Neither can the present re-
lations and editorial passages between the
World and Democrat be considered as models
Of literary elegance. The Sun has also
several dark. spots upon its surface. Nearly
all of the New York editors have on divers
occasions called each other fools, asses, liars,
scoundrels, cheats. &C., yet the enlightened
people of New York not only suffered it, but
absolutely appeared to think that each
editor was right in his estimate ofthe others
The Tribune is the only journal we except
from this category, as that has been uni
| formly courteous AS to the Times itself, we
are astonisbed that it, of all papers, should
rebuke personalities. Such rebuke from
such paper is very much like Satan rebuk-
ing sin. The Times seems to forget that it
has heavy libel suit now entered against it
for defamation of character. Perhaps its new
ly acquired dislike OF personalities" springs
from this cause. Had Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's Recolution made this attack upon
US we might have born it with meekness,
but to be abused by IA paper whose editor
keeps and pays man to be horsewhipped
for him is little too much for even christian
resignation. Truly, these are bad Times
which have fallen upon us.

Gen. Buffers Opinion Concerning our
relations with England.

A Times Washington special says General
Butler left that city Saturday night for his
home in Massachusetts,. In a conversation
on the subject of our threatened complica-
tions with England, he expressed himself of
the opinion that Great Britain could not,
without endangering her very existence as a
nation, enter into war with the United
States. While he holds that hostilities be-
tween the two countries are almost an i'm
possibility, he is rather inclined to think that
the United States would have more to gain
than to lose in contest Of the kind. The
struggle would necessarily be naval one,
for, said he, " there are Irish enough in New
England to take Canada in less time than it
requires to talk about it. A maritime war
is far less expensive than one on land, and
there would be no occasion whatever Tor
large and costly armies. There was dlssat-
isfaction and dissension in every part ofthe
British dominions, which needed oniy a
little tanning to make q devouring fame

was that it would stop the importations and
do more for the encouragement of our home
manufactures than all the legislation that
could be framed in u quarter of a century
Mr. Motley has gone to Europe; but, said
General Butler, "his instructions are simply
to do nothing. The British government will
have to open negotiations. and do not be
lieve they will he in bury to resume them
Iwould make them settle the question il
this way in a short time would give then
ample opportunity to dig and get at the sit
uation, and in six months or SO, if they offer
ed no settlement, issue q proclamation q

for her manufactures, her artizans and shop
keepers thrown out Of employment and ou
of business, would institute bread riots an
