DEsPOTIsM.

The disposition evinced by Democratic
papers to force every man into the ranks
of the Republican party, who dares to op-
pose its dictations, will ultimately result
In Strengthening our party, and building
it to completion.
Democracy's edicts are Kingly. 1t is
the guillotine of America, more properly
of the South, whose blade is ready shar-
pened to sever the heads Of those who dare
think for themselves. 1t remains to be
seen whether the mechanics Of Richmond
will deliberately place their heads upon
the block, awaiting the springing of the
knife, or whether they will, Sampson like,
realize their own strength, and put their
shoulders to the pillars Of this monarchical
temple, and at least shake it.

vIRGINIA,s POLICY.

Democratic papers are beginning to
realize the correctness of the legislation
which determined to pay the entire indobt-
edness Of the State 10 spite Of the efforts
of many of its prominent Democratic
leaders to fepudiate. That the propriety
OF this course has been assailed and
doubted in many quarters, we agree, and
agree further, that every quarter assailing
the policy has been Secession-D Democracy.
The Republican party, in and out of the
last Legislature, was unit upon this
question, and but for the jealous efforts OF
many Of our prominent men, this boasting
of virginia's credit would be vain. Credit
is due the party and the men who saved
Virginia in such an hour Of peril, but LET
payment be made to the proper parties.

Peyury.-Thomas Jones, of Richmond
county, was arrested on Wednesday last By
United States Deputy Marshal e. d. Fitch, on
the charge of perjury. He was taken before
United States Commissioner F. s. Tukey, who,
after full hearing of the evidence, admitted
him to bail in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance before the United States grand jury
at the next term of the Circuit court.

a Rich Case.-On Saturday last, Geo.
Dabney Wooten, was arrested on the charge
oi assaulting and threatening Justice W. Hall
Crew. He was taken to the first police station
and admitted to bail until this morning, when
he had hearing before Police Justice White.
From the evidence it appeared that Justice
Grew has for sometime past been making sport
of Judge Wooten, and not treating Wooten
with that respect to which he thought he was
entitled. So on last Saturday, the Judge being
little excited and great deal under the in
huence of Old John Barley went to the
office of Justice Crew and threatened to cut bis
(Crew's) throat with knife he held in his
hand.
Whereupon Grew had him arrested. Crew
testified this morning that he believed Wooten
to be a lunatic, and that he was afraid that he
would do him bodily injury. Upon this state
ment Justice White required security of Judge
Wooten in the sum OF $50 for his good beha-
vior for three months. Edward Mcmahon,
Esq, became bis security, whereupon the
Judge was allowed to depart in peace, and
continue his practice at the bar.
