DIR. O. r. PRESBREY.

The retiracy Of DR.. Otis F. Presbrey from
the office of Supervisor of Internal Reye-
nue. has been the occasion of some remark
in political circles We wish to say here,
what we kno,o to be true, that DR.. Presbrey
was not retired in consequence Of any influ-
ences against him from this district or else
where. Neither was it from any failure in
the discharge of his official duties. DR..
Presbrey is one of the best and purest men
in the country, and possesses the entire con-
fidence of the administration, as he does of
every one who knows him well. The con-
solidation of districts rendered reduction
of the number of supervisors necessary,
and it so happened that two neiG hboring
supervisors were from the State Of New
York. DR.. Presbrey cheerfully retired
with the regrets of Treasurer Boutwell, and
Commissioner Douglass, who, together with
the President, justly esteem him highly. He
will at once commence the practice of the
law in Washington. With his high order of
ability and his large circle of friends, he will
find his profession far more lucrative and
satisfactory than the official position which
he has just left. A host of friends in Vir-
ginia will follow him with their best wishes,
and will rejoice to hear of his success.

II. G. ON HIS own nomINATroS.

Here is what H. g. prophctically knew
about his own nomination for the Presiden-
cy, and the illegal voters coming to the
front" with General Grant, in 1872:
6 We have heard 1t remarked that should
the elections of 1872 copy those of 1870, a
Democrat would be chosen President.
But that is miscalculation. Missouri was
not carried by the Democrats in 1870, but
by the Schurz and Gratz Brown Republic
cans; but we assume that enough of these
will probably go clear over to put the State
against us in III. We trust they will get
sick of their strange company, and come
back in season for ~. Oregon went Dem
ocratic in 1870, by far smaller majority
than at her State election of 'GS; yet, when
she came to vote for President, she gave
Seymour but l64 majority over Grant.
We drifted astern much further in 1872 than
in 10, but more than recovered our lost
ground when we came to Presidential
year, when almost every legal voter comes
to the front. We purpose to repeat the
dose in ls72."- Tribune, January "a, 1871.

SOME exceptions have been taken to an
article we published few days ago entitled
the I" Bloody Chasm,o in which we re-
ferred to some local criticisms upon Mr..
Secretary Boutwell's North Carolina
speech. In careful perusal of the article
in question, which was hastily written in
reply to local journal, we find but one
word through which We would draw the
pen were we to re-write it under the same
circumstances which led to its appearance
in our columns; and that word did not
escape our notice when we came to read the
article in print. We refer to the word
native" before " Virginian."
And here we wish all the readers of The
JOURNAL distinctly to understand that We
mean by "Virginians" all who are citizens
of the State, or who have come here with
view to becoming citizens; and that no
man is more thoroughly prepared to fight
the pretensions of Virginia nativity alone,
than ourself. This being estate born, - or
"town born," or borough born," or
"half'' or "two-thrds born" is the small
est of all conceivable qualifications for any
office, much less an Office Of high response
bility and trust in the gift of a people.
Those who have known us as we have
sought to be known, not only in this State
but in every other in which we have lived,
will hardly do us the injustice to suppose
that we would not spit upon this
pretension as one too insufferably arrogant
to be tolerated for moment. The noblest
Virginian" to-day, is the man, wherever
born, who is doing the most to advance
her material, intellectual, political and So
cial prosperity and grandeur. Birth is a
mere accident at best, and the man who
can not lift himself above his accidents, ant
make himself commandingly Virginiar
without them, is too small a specimen o.
humanity to command our notice.
