Yankee EnSOIence.

Yankee insolence and impudence have
long been proverbial; so long indeed as
scarcely to excite any remark. We, how
ever, occasionally meet with illustrations
of it so marked that it is impossible to re-
frain from comment.
The latest instance that has come within
our observation took place in the House of
Representatives at Washington City, few
days ago, during the debate upon bill
making all appropriation for reporting the
proceedings Of that body. An amendment
to the bill was proposed, placing the &c
porter under the control Of the Speaker of
the House. The amendment was objected
to, whcreupon Mr.. Banks, of Massaclu~
sets, as appears from the Congressional
GVJp, made the following remarks:
II we calIiint have vote on this amend
mcnt we must oppose the bill. 1t is i'm
possible fol us to consent that we shall
allow strangers to come i'll here and give
official records Of the proceedings without
having any control over them. 1t would
be a violation of the dearest privileges of
the House, and cannot be submitted to on
anv account whatever. Men may come an
here from the Southern States to report oar
proceedings, and arU thus be in q position
to nisreprese3,t the character Of the House
072d of am member Of it, by the record of
his rOtes and the report Of his speeches.
To gite up to strangers the pOerc'' to con-
troll the Offcidj reports of OuT proceedings
in that ac0y shOuId not be permitted. If
the amendment is not admitted we must
oppose the bill at every stage.
We fear that this man BANKS, better
known during the war at the South as
"JACKsoN's Commissary," has not forgot
ten the DAYS when the immortal STONE
WALL. used to make him take to his heels
so rnceremoniously. We greatly fear he
has not yet gotten over his dread OF
"Southern chivalry.' 1t may, however,
be possible that this valiant Quartermaster
not having furnished us any supplies for so
many long years is apprehensive that
the hungry "Johnny Rebs" may haul him
over the Goals for neglect of duty, or pos
sibly in his dreams, the night before, he
may have again heard the terrible cry,
"JACKsoN is coming" But whatever rlay
be The cause lie seems still to dread those
terrible "men from the Southern States"
And we had almost said it was scarcely
kind in him to call men strangers, who, for
, so long time, had shown such pressing So
iicitude concerning him, but we remem-
bered that whenever JACKSON called,
BANKS had "just stepped out" and that
he was justified in designating Southern
men as strangers.
Verify. our Northern brethren do
love us

PUBLIC INDIGNATIoN is widespread
and increasing at the fatuoGs and crimi-
nal Obstinacy Of Governor Caldwell, in
pcrsisting i'll his arbitrary, illegal and in
human course with reference to the reni-
tentiary and the State charitable Institu,
tiOns.
Whatever the opinion Of the Supreme
Court may be as to the right of the Legis-
latrtre to appoint these Boards without
nomination by the Governor, it is unques-
tiOnablc that under the Constitution the
Governor cannot appoint without the con-
sent of the Senate, and that in order to
carry on the affairs of the Institutions, the
de tUctO incumbents must remain in Of
flee until legally decided. This is the
opinion of the highest legal intellect in the
State, without distinction of party.
When, therefore, this asinine and upstart
Accident, in colluSion with his inebriate
Auditor, undertakes to order payments of
the public monies to all illegal and irres-
pOnsiblc Board, he commits crime for
which he should not go unpunishcd. The
Treasurer, too, so paying these warrants,
should be made to answer OH his official
bond for the wrong.

The Southern Governors who advocate
the denomination of President Grant, and
declare the South in danger unless he is
reelected, do not make an impressive
showing, considered as a whole. Governor
Davis, of Texas, is under Indictment for
fraudulent issue of election certificates, and
leads the Grant wing in his State Cover
nor Reed, Of Florida, under Impeachment
for miSdemeanOrs, protests the need of a
denomination; Governor Clayton, of Ar
kansas, under gricvous charge of fraud,
avoWs a strong prediction for renomina-
ton; Governor Bullock forsook his office
to save himself from Impeachment, and
now demands denomination; Governor
Scott, of South Carolina, who has ruined
the finances of that State, and saved him
self from the consequences by iniquitous
tampering with the Legislature, sends up
a vehement Endorsement of the renOmina-
ton; while Governor Holden, of North
Carolina, who alone faced impeachment
and fell, declares the denomination Of the
President essential to the welfare of the
country.
The foregoing trenchant summary, which
we repub.ish from the New York Tribune,
is d" heavy " on Grant. That paper might
have extended its category So rs to en-
brace many, who are not, nor have been
GOcernOrS. It is q notorious fact that the
exceptions are few and far between, of
Southern white men favoring the election
Of Grant, who are not either Office holders
or office seekers-generally, office holders,
who have feathered their nests we'll, or
office seekers, who wish to engage in the
same profitable, if not honest occupation.

Radical MisrslIe-Efle Cs.use Of Dis
fmrhnncaa 1T the South.

The Detroit Free Press draws q striking
parallel of the n'isgovernment of the South,
Willie in the hands Of the Radical party:
While Missouri was III the hands Of
the Radicals it was the theatre of outrage
and murder. State militia travcrsed the
country and robbed and P!mdored the
people in the name of union and peace.
Men were imprisoned without cause, and
houses were dcsolated by the hand of the
spoilcr. The immense resources Of the
State were dormant and the energies of the
people were paralyzed. Now the State is
il the hands of the Democrats and Liberal
Republicans. The people are peaceful and
law-abiding. No military maraudeIs out
rage their homes or deprive them of their
liberty. The freedom Of the press IS again
guaranteed, and mob violence is as rarely
resoted to as i'll any Of the other States Of
the Union that arc filled with new and
mixed population. The wealth OF the
State is being rapidly developed, the ener-
gieS Of the people are Unrcstrained through
fear Of the oppressive exercise of power,
and prosperity is browning every branch Of
industry. The parallel has its application.
Virginia " as soon wrested from the
hands Of the carpet-bag thieves who sought
TO outrage and plumber its people. Peace
and prosperity We're at once restored within
its borders, and progress in the work OF
recuperatiOn has been unobstructed ever
since. There have been no ku-klux out
RACES within the State. The people have
devoted themselves to building up the in
terests broken down by the war and pro
noting the general prosperity of the Com
monwealth. In this State, also, the par
allel finds an application. Compare Mis-
souri, and Virginia with the States ofSoutE
Carolina. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Florida, where carpet-bag rasca'ity has
been kept in the ascendancy and the pco-
pie have been outraged by State as well as
national authority. Turn to Tennessee,
when the people were prosecuted by the
Brownlow rule, and we find another strik-
Ing contrast. The restoration of tho Demo
Gratis and Conservatives to power brought
peace and prosperity to the pcople-ollt
RACES ceased because the government be
came just. They will cease in all the
Southern States when the governments IL
these States are the creations of the popu
lar win, not despotic powers placed over
them by the arbitrary use of Government
bayonets. The great evil which has
afflicted most Of the States III the South has
been the one Of misgoyernment-and thai
has been forced upon the people by power

wards.

In the earlier days of the Republic, when
the great men of the nation accepted office
rather than sought it, and Presidents
entered the White House rich and left it
poor, great questions Of national politics
were decided upon broad and patriotic
principles. When we reflect that hardly
one generation separates us from those
primitive times, we are forced to admit that
this is, indeed, fast age. 1t took three
hundred years to bring down Rome from
the integrity Of Cincinnatus to the cor
rIiption Of a Crassus but in less than
thirty years we have passed from the era OF
disinterested and scrupulous Presidents to
that of the Great Gift-Taker who entered
the White House poor, and will leave it

sition resulting from the incapable and
blundering policy of his administration, he

Radical party, will contain the valedictory
of Mr.. LEWIS HANEs, its present Editor,
who leaves the paper, and probably the
party, in disgust.

able to debase himself to the depths of a
first-elass Radical partisan. Phillips and
Badger have been more successful.

The Election Law.

The Radical press Of the State IS very
,nuch exercised because the late LegisIa-
,ure attempted to SO frame an Election
Law as to check, as far as possible, the
outrageous frauds which have heretofore
characterized the elections III the large
Radical counties.
It would scc1h that the County Commits
sioners in these counties have selected
Registrars and PolI-holdcr5 for the express
purpose of permitting frauds upon the bal
l0t-b0x. In the Convention election last
Summer, in this county, every species of
fraud possible was openly and dehanuy
pcrpetratcd, from the stulling of the ballot
boxes BY the poll-holIers, to the permitting
of5oys of sixteen to vote. We appeared be-
fore the County Commissioners ready to
prove these frauds. The very fact that the
law did not provide against such OutIages,
and we were left without legal remedy, is
the very best reason why the Legislature
should have made the attempt to prevent
a recurrence.
The present law, why we have
not yet seen, is dcnouueed a3 an effort
tc deceive the ignorant, to impose on the
innocent and unsuspeCting. If, by ch
terms, the Radicals intend to refer to their
voters, the election returns show that the
poor, ignorant, innocent and unsuspet ng
negro voter is abundantly able to take care
OF himself. They at least fully understand
and practice the party injunction to ''vote
early and often"
Look at the figures to sustain lis. In the
last election for and against Convention, III
the white counties giving large Conyen-
t0r majorities, as Catawba, Columbus
Iredeu, Yancey, Onslow and Alleghany
the vote polled was only one in seven to
seven and fiye-tenths population, while in
the large negro, nti-Convention counties,
such as Halifax, Craven, Lenoir, New
Hanover and EdgecOmbe, the vote was one
in three and ninc-tcnths to four and eight
tenths population. Such a vast difference
in the voting strength of the counties
would necessarily claim the attention of the
Legislature, and the frauds which these
figures disclosed should be provided
against.
While laws should protect the weak
against all illegal encroachments of the
strong, they should also protect the honest
against the Vaccinations of the wicked.
We ask only for 4 fair election, and de-
sire only such laws as will insure such a
result. We hope tile law is so framed that

1t is stated that a marked decrease OF

attributed in large measure to the sltb-

In corroboration Of the efficiency Of such
method, it may be added that n gentleman

Saturday as pay day, and finds that thA
change works admirably. rr
