Good Luck to n Sheriff.

The Raleigh Sentinel says: Sheriff
Sykes, Republican, of Bladen county,
is indebted for a piece Of good luck
to having one Democrat on the Board
of County Commissioners. It seems
that the Sheriff, year or SO ago, paid
in to the Auditor six hundred and
thirty dollars more tax money than
was really due. This mistake was made
by the Register of Deeds in summin g
the columns up, and in the last cleo
ton, Democrat CHANGED to be elect
ed on the Board, who soon discovred
the mistake and let the Sheriff in to
being half thousand dollars better
off than he ever imagined. A bill has
been prepared in the Senate to pay
back the Sheriff his six hundred and
thirty dollars, and ne will return home
enriched by Democracy.

Say not that your hopes are fled;
Keep that glorious flag that slumbers
One day to avenge your dead.
Keep it widowed, scnIess mothers,
Keep it sisters, mourning brothers
Furl it with an iron will,
Furl it now, but-kcep it still,
Think net that its work is done.
Keep it till your childI en- take it
Once again to hail and make it
All their sires have bled and fought for,
All their noble hearts have sought for,
Bled and fought for all alone.
All alone Ay, shame the story
Millions here deplore the stain
Shame, Alas for England's glory
Freedom called, and called in vain.
TuIl that banner sally, slowly,
Treat it gently, for It's holy,

Then once more unfurl it gladly
Corq1eTcd banner, keep it still.

Editors JouradI:-I returned home
yesterday to find that "Justice" has
again appeared in print, this time
stating that his costs are much moro
than sixty cents. If Justice had walked
up and settled his taxes at first he
would not have been charged SO much
costs. This last notice is the second
notice of sale or limit that has been
served to hin and don't know who
else is to pay the costs on his own
property if he is not required to do
so. Let him look up the law and he
will find out that not one cent has
been charged him that is net fully
authorized and required by the laws
of the State of North Carolina. 1t
seems to me that he is cropping blind
lv in the dark in his illusions to the
JOURNAL.
He quotes me as saying: "The law
allows him (me) sixty cents to cover
costs for serving the notice, and that
amount is all that has been added to
my Ohis) tax" Now, let any one who
loves to speak the truth himself, and
approves it in others, read my commune
cation in last Sundays issue and see
what this correspondent is capable OF
writing. My statement was that sixty
cents was all that bad been added by
the passage of the act. His complaint
was of infringement of the act. Before
the act was passed one dollar and six
ty cents costs had accrued, made up as

COMPLIMENT TO BEAUREGARD.

Gen. Beauregard has just re. urned from
trip to Galveston and Houston, for both OF
which cities he is consulting engineer, and
we learn, has recently received letter from
a representative of the Argentine Confeder-
alton rendering him, in the name OF Presi-
dent So,miento, the position of military
engineer, for the purpose of making re-
conrOissance on the River La Pla, with the
view of establishing line of defenses.
The General is empowered to name his own
terms and to select his own staff, the ar
rangements to be perfected through the
Minister of the Confederation at Washing
ton, (Garcia) who is now temporarily absent
in Paris.
This offer, which was entirely unexpected
by Gen. Beauregard, and which he has not
as vet determined to accept, is handsome
and deserved tribute to the skill and genius
displayed by him at Charleston and other
points during the war.

THE STATE-4OUsE sWINDLE.

The following letter from George G. Ben
ham, President of the high sounding but
somewhat dwarfed corporation yclept the
New Or!eaus National Building Association
| to Kellogg, will be read by the people with
interest and amusement. The attempt OF
the individuals in this Infamous State
House matter to crawl out of the same, now
that the public has had its eyes thoroughly
opened to its enOrmity, is at once ludicrou>
and instructive. The universal opinion ex-
pressed upon reading this letter will be,
" Too thin :" and President Benham, though
reputed sagacious man, has, in this tiimsy
attempt to make excuses, seriously impaired
that regulations:
New ORLEANS, La, June 2, 1874.
Ny Dear Sir-Your favor Of June I'd is
just at hand, and l have been authorized by
the National Building Association to enter
into lease with the State, which shall ex
pire the LIST of January, 1875, and for the
balance OF the appropriation of 5000
which remains unexpended.
1t is proper to add that the first lease exc
cuted by the Lieutenant Governor ard
Speaker, composing majority of the Board
Oh StdJt-ffOuSe COMMISSIONERS, anu WllCn
the Superior District Court has just passed
on, was never intended to be the permanent
lease, but was simply provisional and in
tended as an earnest to the Building Asso-
citation that if they purchased the St.
Louis Hotel, and made the large expenditure
tor its remodeling amounting in the aggre-
gate to $4,000, the State-House Commits
siOners would, at the proper time, give
permanent lease.
Upon moments reflection, it will be seen
that the National Building Association
would not be safe mourning liabilities for
$4,000 for repairs and Sl25,0OO for cost of
building for State House, without some as
surances that when they had done this, the
State would lease it. The provisional lease
was recorded because our attorneys said
that it was necessary to make 1t legal
document.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEO. C. BENHAM,
President New Orleans National Building
Association.
To Hon. VIM. Pitt Kellogg Governor of Louisiana.

QUESTIONABLE PRAISE.

The Piooyune has found at last paper in
| the State to applaud it's immovable neu-
trality." 1t publishes, in prominent place
an extract from the Southwestern- Telegram
Kellogg's official organ in Shreveport, highly
laudatory of the course adopted by the Plea
yune. 1t is not surprising that the Tell gram
should pat the ''old lady" on the back, as
she is new conner within the folds of the
faithful.
How long will the people of this city be
humbugged by such time-serving and
wavering sheets as the Times and P;oayune ?
They use their columns for personal gain,
and deceive the people by professions of
interest in their behalf How long will the
people continue to support anil patronize
such impOstors, such aiders and abettors in
the work of spoliation, and such indorsers
Of the usurpation and the thieves in Office,
who curse and blast the State of Loulsi
anal
The remedy is in the hands of the people,
and if they will exercise the power thew
possess we will have such change in every
relation Of social, political and personal So
ciety as will redeem this country and rescue
it from the hands Of the negro and carpet
Dagger, and restore to the white, lntelli-
gent, honest and decent people the govern
mont of the State. Is the prize worthy a
strugglef We believe so, and we are will
ing to make the fight to secure it!
