EXECUTIVE ENPUDESCE.

Every age has it's prevailing charac-
teristic, and every man Of note or sta
ton has MS distinguishing mark. There
aras, and has been, il our history, the
time when the "lnarks Of our man in
office,-our Governors, Judges, Legis-
lators,-were, indeed, distinguish
ing, " in the most favorable accepta-
ton Of the adjective. The Duke of
Wellington is reported to have said,
when il was proposed 10 him to make
terms in disregard Of the interests of
his country: :. before Al, I am an
English gentleman" Dudley, More
head, Ellis, CLARK, CASTOR, Ruffin,
Nash,-they were all gclt2cmcn IN
| office, as well a. ont Of office alive to
all the proprio:ies CT c57c;ol, az well
as personal relation, -,ioing nothing
derogatory, u:iJignilie,;or unseemly.
| But, as they say IN France, = j!ou&
chargo3ss ccla'-wc have changed all
that. Melancholy reflection, that, too
much, this should be SO IL tie conn
| try ut large and vet. az the same time,
| Tor Us Of the South there is the conso-
lating suggestion that official dagencT-
acy is rather, the result OF the peculiar
| and abnormal circumstances OF our sit
uation, than Of popular degeneraey.
| In remarkable and very discredita-
BILE degree. our modern men Of place
have their distinguishing marks, -
by which ypu can label them, SO to
! speak, as an apotbecary does his pre-
scriptions. Thus, Grant has his par
chant for Pups AMI Pa,faqos; POOLS
proclivities peep out in at envenomed
malignity Bond IS b-u5que and bru-
tai Starbuck asinine Watts is Judi
cially sittv-a sort OF judicial Wanda
while Tod Caldwell, Governor of North
Carolina by fraud, Is simply effront-
i've and impudent.
This quality OF our E.xccr.i I've has
been repeatedly examp!ifed, bus il xo
case SO signaliy as III his recent mes
sage to the General Assembly, wherein
| intimating that their action on the
subject of the State debt was not expo
ditious enough to suit lbs royal ideas
of Legislative locomotion, he presumes
to dictate a bill for theirc onsideration
| This insolance should have been
promptly censurel. It erGs very gen
teeIy rebuked b. the :,cport Of the
| Committee 10 whom the communica-
ton was referred, but s-ch unwonted
insolence would have been more prop
erly and summary disposed Of by the
| return Of the message 20 the writer.

recent case il point in our own State.
Governor Caldwell. with whatever
motives Eve will not question them,
in rendering the appointment of
SUPERINTENDENT of Public instruction
to Mr.. Battle, found a man who, with
out solicitation or agency on his part,
is enlinently qualified for the position,
and who, from a concurrence of cir
cumstances, can bring peculiar adapt
abilities to a successful discharge of
its important duties. The present
incumbent, while professedly deeply
interested in the cause Of public edu-
cation, and surely not covetous of the
inconsiderable pay attached to his
office, refuses to vacate-for no other
reason, it is to be apprehended, than
because he is enanored Of place! So
true is it that the /" evil commumca-
tons" and example and tendencies OF
the times g corrupt the good manners
of men naturally well disposed
1t would be to despair of the
Republic to believe that this condition
of things is to last. We have an abid.
ing confidence in the recuperative
energy and sober reflection of the
masses of the people. The day viii
vet como when We shall return to the
ancient and safe paths-when honesty
fidelity and capacity will be the recog
nized qualifications of office-when
for instance, it will be remembered
only with shame, that there were sucl
Congressman as Deweese Governor
like Holden or Bullock such Judge
as Tourgee and Bond, or Legislator
like those who have disgraced tn
annals of the era and polluted on
Capitols !

from having alot of bonds ready to
sell the Governor just when he notifies
him that there isunappropriated money
on hand We do not pretend to i'm
pugn the honesty of either Governor
Caldwell or Treasurer Jenkins, but we
do say that this scheme will subject
them to temptations so great that it
would be. unwise in the State to subject
any man to them without greater safe
guards.
Upon the whole, We are forced to
the conclusion that the Governors pet
bill, to be entitled can Act to Restore
the Credit of the State" as he calls it,
is crude, impracticable, inexpedient,
and contrary to law. The poverty
stricken people of North Carolina will
doubtless think that very poor way
to restore the credit of the State
which raises their taxes for State pur-
poses alone from 35 cents to So cents
on the one hundred dollars worth OF
property. It is possible, too, they may
seriously doubt whether financial
credit with capitalists abroad is such
an inestimable blessing to the State as
to be worth purchasing at the price Of
crushing taxation at home.
| We are opposed to any plan for the
adjustment of the State Debt thai
involves taxation at the present time
Our creditors, doubtless, are opposed
to any plan that does not involve it.
Let us, then, postpone the consider
ation of the matter until the adoption
of the Constitutional Amendment
shall put us on abettervantage ground
Let us make haste slowly-as slowl,
as possible, at least, i'll consenting t,

THE EVIL OF THE DAY.

| ADDISON, in his Cato. makes tha
illustrious man declare that <'the worl,
had grown to be SO wicked that h
"was surprised at nothing" The devel
opments of our modern national de
moralization are SO multiplied ant
heinons as 10 disarm establishment
however much they excite indignation
and wound honest and patriotic sensi
biities. It is very much the fashion
| to attribute the fashionable degeneracs
of the day-personal, official, and gov.
ernmental-to the war and its infiu
ences. These, doubtless, precipitate6
the tendency. In one section nlar
grew suddenly and immensely rich l..
dishonest speculations, and this sowed
| the seed of greed Of gain, however I'LL.
! cit; in another section the acI:ulaUlations
of q lifetime were swept away at olle
fell swoop, and that virtue would have
been incompatible, indeed, that could
In crc7y such instance have Nitlstocd
the temptations OF exgeEcy.
In more marked degree. DerhaDs
the war told for evil on our political
system and national lie. 1.-The tinkle
Of the little bell" that could consign
free and innocent citizens 10 the dalnps
of dungeon was, in a very large
sense, the knell OF Constitutional liz
erty; while the license Of those days
gave to office the charm of great
authority, with the additional attrac-
ton of great gains, not always lawful.
And yet, after all, the do5cens,ts -Arc3mi
must have commenced before the war
gave the downward impetus; and the
fact is no hattering commentary on the
stability Of Republican Institutions.
The great and trying political eyis OF
the day is the lust Of office. 1t IS the
giant evil which has prostituted the
character Of the Government, which
has lent Fictitious importance to bad
men, which has made men Of previous
good name false to prestige and to
principle, and which has ruptured sbe
peace and disturbed the tranquility CT
and States.
B ut, behind this effect lies a cause.
Men would not be 50 greedy Of Office, was !
here not patent tie damning fact, !
hat, generally speakil G, Office is the
open sesame" to concealed treasures,
md that the possession Of an official !
title is the key to the possession Of
,reat official and unofficial perquisites.
1t as this lust of Office, more than
else-more than party rancor
" political hate-that has embroiled
he governments and imperiiled the
'ubic tranquility on those States of
he South where cormorant crew
axe set at defiance the law aud deter j
lined to ruin, if they cannot "rule,' .

And it is more melancholy still, '
erhaps, to be compelled to realize that J
lis lust of Office has infected others t
