Despite the clamor Of party warfare at the
French capitol the pleasant demonstrations
of welcome to General Grant continue. 1t
is, indeed, a happy characteristic Of our fell
low republicans on the other side of the
water that they never forget their duty as
hosts, and though they may sometime, be-
come sufficiently excited over their domestic
concerns to apply to the occupation of the
headsman ingenious labor saving machinery,
they at least never become oblivious to Whist
is polite toward a v%isitor.l There is no city
in the world where such an entertainment
as was offered to General Grant at the opera
recently can be conducted with such bril-
liant effect as in Paris; and the imperturbable
smoker who lighted his memorable cigar be-
tween the acts OF Thursday night will be
the richer for the enlarged intellectual ho-
rizon that such spectacle.

ness Of politics. He says: "Let us dismiss
from our minds the idea that there is any.
thing otherwise than honorable in the
choice Of political career. 4 lawyer, a
doctor, a banker, a clergyman, proposes to
be a public servant, and to live by the leg
itimate rewards of his service. Why should
not a man choose a political career, with
the same honorable objects?' DR.. Hall also
believes in Office seeking, SO long as it is
done by worthy men. "Nor is it." he says,
ito be a reproach to a man who has chosen
a political career that he seeks to be IN
Office. Why should men have to affect re-
luctance, and to chatter commonplace about
yielding to a sense of duty in taking Office:
A good man embarked on a political caree,

lawyer to seek business, or a minister tt

THE WHEAT SUPPLY.

The ruling price for this staple to-day i,
76 cents. Yesterday about 5000 bushels
were secured here, and to-day's receipts will
not fall far below that figure. The average
receipts for the past 30 days must have
been over 5000 bushels per day. Parties
entitled to speak on the subject estimate
the amount to be marketed in Yankton from
the crop of 1877 at one and a half million
bushels. This, at n cts. which is below the
average thus far, will put into the pockets
of the farmers in this section the snug um Of
one million, one hundred and ffty-6ve
thousand dollars.

Opinion of the Att'y-General.

CAPITATION TAX BEFORE VOTING.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Field, in re-
spouse to questions propounded to
him by gentleman in Leesburg, has
given the opinion that a young man
who has become Of age since the
assessment of the capitatiOn tax of
this year previous to the election at
which he offers to vote, is entitled to
vote without paying the capitation
tax. The capitatiOn tax is required
to be paid before man can vote is
assessed ON those who are twenty
one years of age, for the year before
the election, and as the constitution
designs to disiranChise no one who
complies with its provisions, it does
not prevent n man from voting who
could not be assessed from the time
of coming Of age to the election
hence, those who come Of age after
the assessment Of the year before he
offers to vote, can vote without being
assessed. He also decides that citi-
zens of the State, who are out of the
State when the assessment was made,
aud we're not assessed, must pay the
capitatlon tax before voting, as it
was their duty to be assessed and pny
the tax, when they return to the
State, before offering to vote. Lees

THE GREENSBORO GASES

The Surry county, N. O., cases,
some eighteen in number, came up
for trial before Judge Bond at
Greensboro last Thursday week.
Two of the parties escaped arrest,
two had their cases postponed,
and the remaining fourteen went to
trial and plead guilty. These are the
parties whose tobacco, amounting
to near 800 boxes, was seized on
the 23d day Of last January by
Capt. Joslyn and Deputy Marshall
j. Q. Conway in the depot of the
A. M. e 0. r. r. in this town.
They were charged with altering
and reusing tobacco stamps. Many
of them are of very high standing
in commercial and social circles
heretofore, and are most reputably
connected. The lowest penalty is
two years in prison and 81, 1000
fine. The cases are of great local
Importance, and it is said they will
break many of the strongest men
in Surfy.

A WORD TO THE STANDARD

BAY" The Bristol NetUS requests us to
prove by quotations that IL has punch.
ed the Conservative platform since the
convention. The very first editorial
on the subject in the Ne,Os after the
adjournment did it, and several since.
We have seen nothing in the way oil
an endorsement of the platform by
the NetCs and don't find the State
ticket at the head of its columns, as
every other paUer in Southwestern
Virginia has. That's putting the cold
shoulder to the wheel badly.-Stand-
ard Of oct. 11th.
Guess we had as we'll tackle the
STANDARD. Sire, the above is not
business. Your failure to "PRovE
BY QUOTATIONS" admits that your
charge lacked support. Why do
you refuse to give that every first
editorial in the NEWS" Here is
the portion of it which refers to
the platform
"All this labor, then, of the noun
brought forth something greater than
amOuse. The resolutions ought to
have declared equareIy against in
cFeasing taxation under any circum-
stances. and to have eworn eternal
hostility 10 the taX-receivablo feature
Of the Funding Bill.
As 1t IL, there is victory in the air.
Much has been gained and we shall
Ees that this revolution will never 40
backward.
Prior To the convent ton we all had
cur choice. To-day we are for the
aominee.
Then here is to Holiday. the
square soldier, able lawyer, the pure
citizen. He shall be Governor, and
We predict that no FUnder can ever
call him his."-Net0s of dug. 14th.
We ask the STANDARD to quote
from those issues Several since"
If they prove its charge, nothing
can be lost by quoting them.
AS to putting the State ticket at
the head of these columns, we are
not in in the habit of doing SO. 1t
is not necessary to first-class party
journalism, and the frst-class pa
pers Of the country are by no
means united as to such course.
The ENQUIRER is the only Rich>
mond paper that has the ticket at
lts masthead.
But this we can say f; the Editor
of the News has never, in his life,
voted against the nominee of bis
party, and never failed to vote for
the party ticket. Can the gentle
man who now does the writing for
the STANDARD say this much
