Postmaster Creswen on the Republican
Party,

From Mr.. Crcswell's speech in Michganl
Fellow citizens, the chief under whom |
fight never surrenders. Neither the bullets
nor the lalsehoods of traitors can deter him
from the performance of his duty. The
same people who sustained him in war will
vindcate him in peace.
When Republicans, growing weary of
the work, have deserted him in the past,
their places have been better filled by
patriotic Democrats. So in this political
contest. For every renegade who has gone
over to the enemy, a dozen Drawer, truer
men stand ready to fall into line.
Then elevate once more our glorious old
standard. Proclaim anew the lire-tried
principles Of Republcansm. Let law,
order, peace and security be our watch
words, and, inspired by the genial spirit of
renewed brotherhood let us press onward,
shoulder to shoulder, until the dream of
our fathers shall be fulfilled, and our glad
dened eyes shall see the Republic of our
love and our prayers take up by incontesti-
BILE right her proud position in the very
front OF the great column of nations, un-
der the lead of her own victorious captain.

the regular nominees. The people of
Greensville want no 'fooling" with boilers.
Our neighbors of the Second district are
moving. A large meeting was held at
Lees mills in Prince George county last
Saturday. 1t was sort of fish fry or pic
mic, and there were many men and women
from Sussex and Dinwiddie, as well as
Prince George. By previous invitation the
Senator from this district, Hon. h. G.
Greene, was present and addressed the peo-
pie for about an hour and half on the polit-
cal issues of the day. Ills remar ks were
well received, creating great enthusiasm.

announcing big meetings in Southampton,
Isle of Wight and other counties, under the

Hon. G. P. Ramsdall, Hon. w. N. Stevens,
Hon. Luther Lee, Jr., Col. Robert Boiling,

THE VICTORY.

We are finally enabled to announce the
fact of splendid Republican victory in
North Carolina. We have contained our
soul in patience for the fullest returns to
come in, and can give the Republican ma
jority in seventy-eight counties at 1851
one that cannot possibly be overcome in
the few remaining counties to be heard
from. Caldwell is certainly elected by not
less than 1900 majority, and this is gain
of between five and six thousand, obtained
almost entirely from the white vote of the
State. When we consider the powerful
organization of the Democratic party
in the "Old North State" and the
fact that they were backed by the
" Greeley detection " and the whole weight
of the Tribune and other Repub-
lican journals in the interest of the Glib
eral movement" so-called, thrown into the
scale in their favor, the victory which our
friends have achieved there, lis not only
brilliant one, but one which covers the
party with impershable luster.
The dispatches which we have received
are of the same purport as those received
at Washington. The Republicans in Raj
egh are having a general rejoicing over the
result, and the cheers for Caldwell, Grant,
and Wilson are making the welkin ring.

HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL. - Mr.. II.
D. Danforth, Most Excellent Past High
Priest of St. Adams Royal Arch Chapter,
No. 80, was, on Monday evening, the re-
cipent of an elegant and costly testimonial
from the companions of the Chapter, in the
shape of a Past High Priests jewel ofexqui-
site workmanship and pattern. After the
regular business of the Chapter had been
concluded, Excellent G. Henry Parrow
arose and addressed companion Danforth
as follows:
I" Most Excellent Companion Danfonh-
Permit me, as the humble representative of
St. Adams Royal Arch Chapter, No. 80,
to present you this jewel, in token of their
high appreciation of the virtue, skill and
infleXible fidelity which has ever character
lied your administration of the Office of
High Priest of this Chapter. We feel that
to your individual effort belongs the credit
of having made our Chapter what it is. You
have spared neither time nor labor to adj
vance its interests, or instruct its members
in the secret work. You have removed
obstacles, and placed it on the high road to
success. You have retired from office with
the proud satisfaction of having discharged
well your trust. We honor you, my COM
panion, because you have deserved well
and we thus testify our unanimous appre-
citation of your course. Take then this
little memento, and wear it as a token of
our personal regard, and our appreciation
of your administration, with credit to your
self and honor to. the fraternity"

POLITICAL NOTES.

The silliest of silly stories-that Sam
uel Hooper and Ii. L. Dawes are not true
to the Republican party.
Horace advises Gratz Brown to take
the cotton gin in his'n hereafter, instead of
crab. 1t is much cheaper, he says, and
never produces the choleraic symptoms
that follow the use of the other.
Senator Upton had three brothers-in-
law, nephew, and a son appointed to
office, and tried to have another son APP
pointed to a valuable consulship. He is
opposed to nepotism, and for that reason
will not vote for Grant.
General Garfield has written a letter
to the President, inviting him to at
tend the annual Northern Ohio Fair at
Cleveland in September. The letter has
been forwarded to the President, and it is
thought that he will accept.
1t is worthy of note that Banks did not
desert the Republican party until the Re-
publican party had deserted him. lie has
not been an 'earnest Republican" since
his constituents brought him to task for in
temperance and immortality.
There is a rumor current that Charles
O'Conor, of New York city, is to be nomi-
mated at the regular Democratic National
Convention, to be held at Louisville. If
that nomination is made there will be O
lively dropping of Greeley by Democrats.
"A friend of the Christian Register
writes clergyman that he has got so far
in politics as to hurrah for CIR, but he
doesn't know whether to end it with ant or
eeley. The clergyman replies by referring
him to Proverbs vi, 6: "Go to the ant,
thou sluggard."
--Gratz isn't going to trust any more to
the inspiration of the moment"
When he has anything important to say he
write it out, and read it off from the manu-
script. lie is driven to this aggravating
by the discovery that those
instances of negligence whereby reporters
are betrayed into telling the truth no longer
occur.
We need not say that we regret ex-
tremely to see General Banks embarked
upon course like this, which can only fail
of mischief because it will prove futile.
But we regret it chiefly for his own sake.
lie has long enjoyed the honors of the Re-
publican party, and we take his word for it
that no personal feeling dictates his with
drawal from Republican association at this
late day. lie has mistaken his duty, as any
individual may, and as he has on some pre-
vious occasions. The error, however, can
have no effect upon the Republican party
of Massachusetts,, which will go straight
forward in the grand course of loyalty be-
gun under Lincoln and continued under
Grant, seeking peace and reconciliation
through the sure means of justice, princi-
pie. and right. A friend here and there
may fall off, or turn into an enemy, but it
will recruit itself by the inyincible energy
of a righteous cause.-BoSton Journal.

More Tobacco Decisions.

Washington, August GA letter from
the acting Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue. to Collector Blake, of the Twenty
thlrd New York district, states that it has
been ruled by that office that the word

OF June u, 1872, refers to the date of the
passage oil the last named act and that to-
bacco entered in export bonded warehouses
on and after June 6, 1872, can be with
drawn Tor consumption or sale in this coun-
try only upon the payment of tax at the
ratio imposed by the act of July 90 1868.
"A question has arisen respecting the rate
oil tax to be required upon tobacco, which.

warehouse on or after that date. On the

from one export bonded warehouse to
another on a transportation bond. 1t had
been Withdrawn from the first warehouse
neither for consumption nor on sale. nor
Tor export, but simply to change its locality.
upon careful reconsideration of the
question, and taking into account that Con-
gress evidently intended by the provisions
relative to Withdrawals of tobacco from ex-
port bonded warehouses between the date
OF the passage Of the act and the date of its
taking effect, no object which would in any
degree be furthcred by prevention of re-
moval from one warehouse to another, the
acting Commissioner is of opinion that this
tobacco may now be withdrawn from bond
upon payment of tax at the reduced rate
imposed by the act of June 9th, 1872.
ANY portion of any previous rulings upon
the subject, inconsistent with this ruling, is
revoked.

The Louisville Election-The Liberals and
Democrats Badly Beaten-They Stake their
Reputation on Success and Lose.
Louisville, KY, August 5.-The election
here to-day for city and county officers was
unusually spirited. Much interest was
aroused by reason of the frantic appeals of
the Greeley papers to stand by the regular
Greeley Democratic ticket. The Courier
Journal this morning spoke of the Citizens
ticket as virtually a Radical ticket, and
said: " We cannot afford TO have it 90
abroad that the Democratic party has been
beaten in the chief city of Kentucky"
The Ledger said that if the regular nomi-
nees were defeated it would be heralded
over the country as a Radical victory, and
in that event would have disheartening
effect. The Anzeiger spoke to the same
effect.
All of the Greeley organs called for such
a rousing majority for the regular ticket as
would thrill with rejoicing the heart of eve
ry friend of the Liberal movement in the
State. The Democratic city and county
committees issued an address imploring the
Democrats, in view of the Presidential con-
test, to stand by the regular Greeley nomi-
nees. The Commercial and VoHsblaH, Re-
III III tuC SlIiLcllS DlChGJ.
The response of the people is glorious. The
entire Citizens ticket has been elected by a
rousing majority, with the exception of the
Democratic candidate for vice-chancellor,
who had no opposition, his name being on
both tickets. The Citizens ticket was
supported by Republicans and Anti-Gree-
leyites, and they are very jubilant tonight
over the result. The city gives the ticket
about 5000 majority. The county will
give the Democratic candidate for sheriff
300 majority.
There are but few returns from the in
terror. Fayette county, the home of Con-
gresham Beck, elected the Republican
ticket by 600 majority-a gain of $50 on
Harlan's vote last year. Mr.. Beck and all
of the Greeley speakers We're on the stump
without effect.

Companion Danforth responded as follows:
81 know not how to thank you, my COM
panions, for this beautiful present. To be
the recipient Of such gift, so rich, and so
rare, that know of none like it within the
limits Of this jurisdiction, would, at any
time and from any source, awaken the
warmest sentiments of gratitude even in the
coolest heart but when it comes as this
does from the companions of chapter with
which | have been associated from its Or
ganization, from companions who have
already testified their confidence in me per-
sonally, a first, a second, aye even third
time who, when the chapter was first Or
gained, placed me in the third position
within their gift; who, when it was formally
constituted under its charter, honorcd
me, and me alone, with most flattering
resolutions of regard ; who, at their first
elections, by an an almost overwhelming
voice, raised me to the position of their
presiding officer and who, at their next
election, retained me in that position with
entire unanimity. Under these circumstan-
ccs it possesses in my eyes, a value infinitely
beyond that conferred by the richness of
its material or the elegance of its work.

my companions, little more than three
years ago this Chapter was organized. From
its organization it met with bitter opposi-
ton. There were many who hoped That it
soon might be numbered with the things
that were; for months it languished, and
it was for time not improbable that the
desire of those who wished to see it die
would be gratified. But they were disap-
pointed. 1t still survives, and to-day &C.
cupies position second to no other Chap
ter in this jurisdiction. For the measure
of success which has been attained we are
indebted to the companions of this Chapter
who have always sustained the High Priest,
and who have never suffered a ripple to
rufi1c the tranquil sea Of our harmony. |
thank you again for your gift, my compan-
ions, and assure you that it will always be
worn with pride, and ever cherished as one
of my dearest Treasures
