POLITICAL NOTES.
Buncombe County is awake. II demands
| good cheap. economical North Carolina made Const-
tution" and VIC hope they may get something abous
which there would be 90 little buncombe as that.
The third term organs hate to give up their
love- Mr. Wendell Phillips's letter receives ia only
praise from them. Thus the kitchen instrument at WASH
ington thinks Mr.. Phillips "sometmes stfiKes n~
sponsve chord the hearts Of tho loyal people OF the
country" AMI The Pittsburgh Gazette takes occasion 70

quickly.
The demand for reduction OF the Prcsi-
dents salary to its old figure docs not meet with much
favor In any quarter The general opinion seems TO %
that the present compensation Is not bit too large
Thus The st. Paul Pioneer says "The truth s the sais
res paid American legislators Judges and cabinet officers
are much too small We either compel them to draw
largely on their own to support their positions,
or we obgc them DO dishonest to protect themselves
against impecuniosity Neither OF these conditions
peDsaton to public officers we hope is past. Let the
Presidents salary alone"
The jcers with which some of the Virginia
journals have spoken Of exsecretary McCullochs letter
on finances Of that State call forth this rebuke from
The Richmond Dispatch: Br McCuoch and tho bond
holders the right tell that their money was loaned
to State because Of the implicit faith they put In her
soyency and high honor They havo the right to say
that which is the truth, and to express their surprise a.
certain things which have been done OF late which throw
q cloud the fair fame which led them TO become
creditors Of the State We do not that this should
provoke the rollery of anybody unless indeed, 1t Ia be
impctncnt for creditors to endeavor to get Their
IS tn & acS credit that Mr. Mcc%och suspected the Stat:
Of large mocty OF her former virtue and let us not DO
lieve that he is mistaken"
Verify, the Hon. William s. King is in dan
ger Of protesting too much 1t does not become

fact often and loudly. Ho is very upon the
INSCRIPTIONS editors" and has almost AZ bad an
opinion Of them tho late Credit Mobilier statesmen
had He closes his last blast in The Minneapolis Tribune
in this way: The brutal manner In which these libel
ers Of the press have handled Col King without
dent the history Of the country and when 1t fully
understood by the people will be. will bring to
the object Of their malignant assaults the sympathes OF
all men who love justice and fair play For months they
have been calling upon Col King to come forward and
answer their calumnious charges and the moment he
attempts to do before competent tribunal they
again dcnounce him for his audaclty In so doing But
the end is not yet Col King can afford to walt tte
sure to come when he has opportunity to be heard
The saddes thing about 1t Is the very haro tinc no mas

Gov Kemper of Virginia has contributed bis
share the multitude OF expressions OF good feeling
called out by the Bunker Hill Centennial On the return
Of the Richmond Commandery Of Knights Templars, hs
addressed them congratulatng them on their warm TO
cepion in Boston, and closing as follows: You went -
Virginans proud OF Virginia and all her past You wens

Massachusetts would appear to be getting
mad She warns the Administration to have care how
1t treads upon the of Henry Wilson Even that mild
est Journals The Boston Transcript gives President
Grant the lvcliest kind Of shaking for allowing biz
organ to speak disrespcctfuy OF the yce-President IL
says Mr. Wilson truly represented the honesa
portion Of the Republican party he did in his recens
communications to the public, and then continues
vce-Prcsident Wilson has been public servant faa
longer period than President Grant But the VceProsf
dents continuance In the national councils dates back Do
yond the time when Grant still lost in the deepea
obscuy and had not consciously adopted any political
opinions whatever sThe VicePresdent Is accused o.
Joining In efforts to defeat the renomination OF Presdens
Grant II this Is tho head and front Of his offending
decent part of the Republicans must be arraigned u
company with him. Pennsylvania, Ohio and the Repuh
lican party of the North as whole, have
struck hands with the Vce-President on
that point, and are equally guilty. Does the
Washington organ intend excOmInunicate tho North
Republicans in bodyi Henry Wilson is accused oi
talking AS Ulysses Grant says nothing Dis retcencc
fairly compens ted by the radness OF the occupant %
the second place. Ii Mr. Grant had appreciatingy ~
tened to some of Mr. Wilson's talk many Of his conspc
blunders would have been avoided. Vce-Prtscent
Wilson's absence OF dignity in the office he now ais az
charged by the organ does seem remarkable, whes
compared with the Chesterelan grace, imposing pes
ence and ennobng of the President OF the Unitod
States. How spendidly tho latter always shows OH on
public occasions when uncontanatcd b. tie absencs
Of dignity on the part Of the Vice Presidentp'
