PosrMAsTERsHIPs IN VIRGINIA.

For some reason it is becoming little
fashionable with the appointing power of
the Post Office Department to put in and
keep Democrats in Office in Virginia, and
perhaps, such practice is not peculiar to
that branch of the public service. We now
learn, with some surprise, that Mr.. BRIsTow,
the Republican postmaster at Tappahan-
mock, has been removed at the instance of u
leading Democrat, and Mr.. JOIN RowZIE,
"a very stalwart Democrat, has been APP
pointed in his stead, much to the surprise
of the Republicans of that section, as no
good reason is assigned for the change.
Then, again, there seems to be considerable
dissatisfaction among the Republicans of
the city OF Fredericksburg over the condi-
ton of affairs connected with their post
Office. Mr. PRITCHARD is the present post
master He is represented as n Democratic
sympathizer, if not an outright Democrat
at heart. At least they represent his Office
as u sort Of Democratic headquarters, which
is distasteful to the public sentiment of that
locality. For this aud other reasons the
Republicans almost unanimously ask for
his removal and the appointment of Mr..
KNIGHT in his place. Charges against the
official conduct of Mr.. PRTCHARD have
been preferred by the Rev. w. WALDEN,
the pastor of the First Baptist Church at
Fredericksburg, Mr. THOMAS G.. COLEMAN
and Miss BETTE CoLEMAN-in effect that
mail matter has been improperly detained,
that letters have been improperly opened and
that he has been guilty Of uncivil and dis
courteous conduct toward those having
business relations with his Office. Mr. It'd
BALL, we are Informed, Investigated the
charges that had been preferred, and made
q report fully sustaining them, and yet he
was permitted TO continue in place The
people of Fredericksburg then again pressed
the removal of Mr. PRIrCHARD, and the
Post Office Department sent Mr.. SMALL to
investigate. He did 80 by taking the tes-
timony of two Democrats of very question
able records, citing no Republicans to give
testimony in the case, and then, of course,
made favorable report, rs was no doubt
tho purpose of his detail for the performance
of the service. At all events, us no proper

THE YAZOO MURDER.

If we are to believe the Mississippi bull
dozers and their sympathizers, now that he
has been quietly put out of the way by a
Mississippi persuader, Captain DIXON was
Il very, very bad man, and was really the
embodiment of all the bull-dozing oppres-
sions, assassinations and denominations that
have occurred in Mississippi during q long
reign of terror. II we are to believe this
lame attempt to justify bloody-hauded
crime, there is but one bull-dozer left to tell
the tale, and that is BARKsDALE, who was
brave and noble enough to publicly slaugh-
ter the Tycoon of murder and assassination
on the dark and bloody ground of Missis-
sippi. But, after all, why was DIXON spared
so long to carry terror everywhere in that
high-toned State of law and order If he
was known by his neghbors and acquaint-
ances to be the vile wretch he is now rep
resented TO be by Judge HARRIS and Gem
cral NAT. HARRIS, "two of the most influ-
ontial citizens of that State" why was he
tolerated in life until he assumed the right
TO break away from the Democratic party
and act independently in seeking public
position, and then TO be shot down like dog?
Was he any worse after he asserted the
right of an American citizen TO think and
act for himself in the discharge of his politi-
cal duties? All the outrages he is charged
with were committed before he took the
field us an Independent candidate for the
sheriffalty. He had killed no one since
that step had been taken. lie had
simply offered himself for the suf-
frages of his fell Ow-citizens, and had
sought the votes of whites and
blacks alike. True, it is now alleged that
he was stirring up the worst passions of tn e
colored race against the whites, but that
assertion is not backed by any proof of its
truth. 1t is simply an after-thought, that
has been seized upon 20 justify horrid
crime, but will fail to convince any one
that he should have been assassinat ed by
BARKsDALE. We have no defense to Offer
for the numerous offences charged against
would now make him appear Aud if 50,
they should have had him punished by the
law long ago, instead ofreserying him for such
sacrifice us this, No doubt he was guilty,
and he escaped punishment until now for
the reason that they were all tarred with
" the same stick and were joined in
hand and heart in the bloody work
they had in hand, and 50 long as Their
murderous practices were aimed at Repub-
licans especially he was as good as any oil
them, and the bad in him was not discovered
until he broke away from their murderous
camp and sought prelerment on his own
hook. Then they discovered that he was
bad and unfit to live, and not until then,
for up 10 that time he had answered their

AT LAST.

The dispatches yesterday morning from
full efforts directed against the epidemic.
The local health authorities, in conjunction
with the militia, acting as q police force,
are working nobly to aid the good work of
local sanitation. While the National Board
of Health are perspirlng over the equestion
of grasping Northern quarantines and their
inspectors at "ten dollars day and ex-
"penses" are ransacking the corners of the
earth for cases of monstrosity to report in
the Government Medical and Surgical Journal,
the people of Memphis-the physicians, the
military, the newspapers-are all alive to
their work. We read that every house
where cases of yellow fever have occurred
are promptly surrounded, and intercourse
city prevented that the sewers sinks and
cesspools are being cleansed and disiniected
and the street cutters are being anxiously
looked after. Active work of this kind
will soon have its effect, and had such
measures been adopted sooner we should
have heard less about the Circulars regard
a. ing disinfection and "rules and regula.
tions," ad aauSedm, from the great central
humbug. The old adage that Heaven helps
those who helps themselves is here exem-
pliied, and our friends in the South will
find that, as they do the work themselves
they do not need board of eleven men
with score of inspectors, to aid them in
disbursing the money. Any clerk in thC
Treasury could have passed on the South
ern acquisitions without all this circumlo
cntinn and endless red fame

nefarious purposes too we'll to have his use
fulness destroyed, either by the hand of
an offended law, or through the agency
of the avenging revolver or shotgun.
The most sneaking and cowardly feature
of this affair comes to light now through
those who attempt to justify this murder
on account of oflenses which attach in
greater or less degree to the characters and
habits of every De mocrot in the State of
Mississippi. There is not, in truth, q man
of that party in that State whose hands are
not either directly or indirectly soiled with
the blood of murder Heretofore, tho MUIR
dered men have been Republicans. Now
they have commenced among themselves,
and no man at the North will raise his
hand to avert war Of determination, if
they will co1fine their outrages and muir
ders within their own lines. Let tho bloody
work go on until every bull-dozer, every
intimidator, every sustainer of the shotgun
policy and every murderer in that State has
bitten the dust by the hand of his fellow
assassin. Then new population, who
would respect human right and life, would
take their places, and Mississippi would
begin to take rank with the more civilized,
law-abiding and order-loviug States of this
Union. 1t would be a hopeful day for that
State when the funeral of the last bull
dozer had been attended and the earth had
embraced his ignoble dust. Su ch an event
would open to that fertile and intrinsically
noble State new era, which will lead ON
to general development of its material
resources and elevate its social character
above the grade of crime and outrage.
The people of the North--those upon
whom the Nation must rely for the perpetu-
| ity of its institutions aud its honor--now
have fair opportunity of understanding &
the real character of the people of Missis-
sippi who act under the Yazoo plan, and
how little can be hoped of them in advance
ing the interests, preserving the peace and
conserving human right in this country so
long rs its principal business is to take life
and enrich the soil with human blood. This
is the Democratic plan for managing Re-
public and so fast aud 80 far as that party
gains power in the future will the spirit OF
Mississippi pervade the whole Nation, The
only way to prevent the spread of these
dogmas and diabolical practices is to crush
the Democratic party out of power and Sc
curely quarantine the Government against
the pestiferous approach of its adherents
from all quarters. With such elements
incorporated in the Government there never
can beunity, peace, prosperity and universal
happiness. The only hope is to keep then
away from the seat of power and treat then
as physical pestilences are treated, with cir
cumscribing and healing influences.

ern State indobte dness, because ii holders are

he said 1t abhorred all rest rain,s--constitu.

way of its own selfish aud wicked schemes.
1t was ut war with tho first principles of our
American system of liberty, and unless con-

our Republican institutions survive the estab-

Mr.. PRITCHARD continues to hold the
position, and the people Of Fredericksburg,
or the Republican portion, are still unhappy
over the state of affairs, and will persist in
pressing the appointing power for change.
If MIR. PRIToBARD is Democrat, and is
guilty of the charges preferred, there will
seem to be no justification for his retention
in place, and the appointing power can
scarcely afford to continue matters in their
present shape There may be honest and

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is not n
GRANT organ any moro than the New York
Herald is an anti-GRANT journal. This fact
the Herald knows but complacently ignores
for the purpose ofproviding text for re-
cent editorial in which the REPUBLICAN is
alluded to as q adisbeliever in the refusal of
General GRANT to be renominated. The
truth is, wehave never entertained any other
belief than that General GRANT Is not an
ofice-seeker and that the hifalutin nonsense
of the Herald about Cesarism would one day
be exposed rs sheer sensation. But We do
believe that the people, the Herald and

notwithstanding, will settle the Thrd-Term

THE Eleventh Amendment to the Con :
stitution of the United States must go. 1t
prohibits the Judicial branch of the Gen
eral Government from taking jurisdiction of
any suit brought by a citizen of one State
against another State. 1t reads as follows
The Judicial power of the United States
shall not be construed to extend to any suit in
law or equity, commenced or prosecuted
against one of the United States by Citizens Of
another State, or by Citizens or Subjects ofany
Foreign state.
The repeal of this amendment would re-
instatc the Judiciary in the full powers of
jurisdiction therein prohibited, and enable

thereof for the recovery of the full amount
Of the worthless bonds they now hold.
