In George Washington's Farewell Address, the necessity of Virtue to the maintenance of our institutions and the preservation of our rights is forci bly, presented. "Of all the disposi tions and habits," be says, "which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tri bute of patriotism, who should labor. to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, the firmest props of the, duties Of men arid citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and -cherish them. ' A "volume could not trace all their connexions with private and publicfelicity." And again he says, "It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of pop ular Government." Washington's opinion' is worth something. Majestic in virtue, and gifted with wisdom of the most supe rior order,his words of advice are worthy to be pondered over in-all . seriousness by the men of this genera tion. His noble example should "teach wisdom and virtue to magis trates, citizens, and men, not only in the present age, but in future genera tions, as long as our history shall be read." This example as well as the fruits of his labors ia our inheritance. The Master-Architect of American Republic, he knew better than any other man, the character of its foun- ' dations, the proportions and durabili ty of the structure, and all its strong and weak points. When, therefore, he tells the American people that public virtue is the foundation of their fabric of government, we must accept that as a grand truth, and act accordingly. But our own'reason tells us as mucin We feel it, we see it, we know it. We know that the prosperity of the country is in exact proportion to its morality. The just administration of our public affairs depends upon the virtue of our public men. This truth can be established by the bare citation, of facts, independent of all reasoning derived from the fundamental princi ples of good government. No vice can exist without a proportional de gree of evil : no bad man can exercise power over a country without detri ment to the public weal of that coun try. Thus we trace to its source one of the leading causes of the present mis erable condition of hur State and Na tional governments. Morality is di vorced from politics : the foundation of the governmental fabric is under mined, and we behold a practical il lustration of the great truth uttered by Washington that "yirtue or moral ity is a necessary spring of popular Government." The best talents and the best virtues are as a general taing practically excluded from office by in trigue or corruption. It is usually the case now-a-days that we find the pub lie places of trust occupied by the most successful tricksters : it is they who wear the laurels, and not the mer itorious. It is the active wire-pullers, rather than the most deserving men, who seem most successful in gathering the rewards of public fa vor. We challenge any man to look at the office-holders and law-giyers, in this or any other State, and at the American Congress, and say if morali ty is not seemingly divorcqd from ' politcis and government. Do you find among the rulers, with. a few bright exceptions, the true men of the coun try the men who are conspicuous not only for their energies, talents and enthusiasm, but for their fidelity and unselfish devotion to principle their love of country their public and pri '. vote yirtues ? Can any body say that the paths of honor, integrity, virtue and patriotism lead to the seats of power? Wherever we turn in this boasted land of good government we find the high places mainly occupied by vice, selfishness and incompetency. And hence the mighty flood of evils that threatens, the' safety' of our republican ' institutions, and the overthrow of the .bulwarks of our rights and' liberties. The ungodly greed for office; th$ mean 4" little tricks of wire-pullers ; the buying - of votes ; the stuffing of the ballot box ; the falsifying of election returns; the slanders, the' bact-biting, and the . villifying, practised in political cam ;.' paigns ; these things point to the work of scheming politicians "who are prac tically divorced from morality and re ligion. What are ."the fruits to the countryof dark deeds like Jhese ? Bad laws, blundering laws,-class-legislation i laws that MCfbWS and paid for" ; laws that are in the interest of monopolies as against the interests of the people at large ; incompetency in thef administratiorvof public, offices; dishonesty in the collection of taxes ; iniustice or incapacity in the Courts and ignorance corruption, and ras cality everywhere. Such are the fruits the people gather when they elevate to power, men who are not found in the ways of Virtue, and who aspire to public office for the money that is in it ! 4More morality in politics is the sovereign remedy. Let the people apply it. . -: . .. . ATLANTIC, TENNESSEE & OHIO RAILROAD. Pursuant to the joint call of the Chairman of the County Commission ers of Mecklenburg -nd Iredell coun ties, three of the Commissioners of both counties assembled at the Court House, in Charlotte, to consider the question of what shall be done in re gard to tha stock held by both coun ties in the Atlantic. Tennessee & Ohio railroad. On motion, Jsaac Harris, Esq., of Iredell, was called to the chair, and requested to explain , the object for which the two boards were called together, after which the discussion turned upon the financial condition of the corporation. It will be remembered that the coun ty of Mecklenburg has one hundred thousand dollars, and Iredell .county has sixty thousand dollars worth of stock in the road, which amount is placed in jeopardy by the- recent judg ment against the company, in favor of the 1st National Bank of Columbia, and others. From the fact that much of the assets of the company are not available, the question of devising some plan to prevent the sale of the franchises, etc., of the company, be comes one of serious importance. K. A. Springs, Esq., receiver, jwho has control of the road, for the past eight months, and who had-just le turned from New York city, wither he had been to confer with some of the principal creditors of the road, by re quest, explained the financial condi tion of the company. He stated in substance, that about thirty-three dol lars in cash and several hundred dol lars' worth of notes, with the excep tion of a few of the company's bonds, insignificant in proportion to the debts of the company, had come into his hands, besides the earnings of the road since he took charge, by virtue of an order from the court. He did not consider the road as lost to the stock holders by any means, if the necessary remedies were applied. He believed that by the payment of about forty five thousand dollars to the Carolina National Bank of Columbia, that the remaining creditors who hold the balance of the first mortgage bonds, might be induced to deal lightly with the corporation, provided the road was under good management, and they could see a desire on the part of the owners of the road to satisfy its obli gations. If this forty-five thousand dollar debt 'can be satisfied, it will give additional value to the bonds of the company, re-instate confidence among the bondholders, and give a new im petus to the financial affajra of the corporation. If the recent judgments against the road really jeopardizes the interests of the private stockholders, as well as the county subscription, it would be better to take the unicorn by the horn, eith er by raising the amount in additional subscription or by taxation. It looks to us as the height of folly to talk about the surrender of a road winch cost a million and a half of dollars, to the judgment creditors who hold the first mortgage bonds, calling for about one fifteenth of the amount of its original cost. Gen. RufusBarringer was asked to give such information as he could in regard to tne condition of the road, and the prospects of relieving the necessities of the company, which he did in a forcible manner. He saw a wav out of the troubles under which the" road labors, but it was threatened with dif ficulties, and he advises extreme cau tion on the part of the Commissioners, as well as the stockholders. We shall have occasion to refer to the General's plan hereafter. -There beifog only three of the Coun ty Commissioners from each county present, it was thought best to take rro action for the present, but on motion of R. L. De Armond, Esq., the meet ing adjourned until Monday, the 11th day of May, for a further consideration of the subject before all the Com mis sioners of both counties. THE TOWNSHIP MEETING. Ihe action of the Convent i nn nn Thursday meets with general approv al in this township. The resolution in Senator Wiring's favor. will, give pleasure to his many friends. He was earnesj; ana raitnful in the perform ance ot nia, Senatorial duties; The suggestion of Hon. Wm. Rhinn for Judge, and Col. John E. Brn wn for Solicitor, will give satisfaction in this community, uoth . gentlemen . are popular, and possessed of those'steri ing qualities which are 'essential to fitness for high office, and which are so rarely found "now-a-days in public servants. They recommend the re election of an me presents incumbents of the County Offices, in a body. ., That this should be done, rrr few connues in Am erica at this corrupt period, speaks volumes in favor of the efficiency and integrity of these officers. Honest administration fo our county offices is one of the blessings; of Conservative dominance.' ' ' " Th p. Convention's endorsement of Hon. T. S. Ashe, was in keeping with the prevailing sentiment in this town ship. Mr. Ashe has made a good representative, and jit would be but a suitable recognition of his services not only in Congress but in 'the. campaign of '68, to return him to his seat in the National Legislature;. A strong disposition is manifested in the District to cdnfer that honor upon Gov. Vance. But as the pro ceedings of our township meeting 4iow, he positively declines to allow iiis name to' be used in connection with the- place. He recognizes the high claims of Mr. Ashe, and with that generosity and unselfishness which is one of his prominent char acteristics, he yields the field to the present distinguished incumbent. We are on the eye of a political J campaign the first since the organi zation of the Patrons of Husbandry. It is a Crisis in the career of this mighty Order. f Let them remember one of the car dinal priciples of the Order, and be ware of politics ! , EDITORIAL. OBSERVATIONS. The article of the Charlotte Democrat on "the Question of Color" has obtained a wide circulation among the State papers. That staunch newspaper, the State Agri cultural Journal, re-iterites continually the caution Patrons, beivare of politics and poli ticians. It W King is the new President of the At lantic & North Carolina Railroad : The dif ficulty is entirely settled; and the Eeceiver has been discharged. A bill restoring the income tax has been prepared and will soon be introduced in Con gress. All salaries and incomes over $5,000 are to be taxed fiye per cent, and that over $10,000 ten per cent. Men with incomes like this can afford to pay the tax ; but there is no need of restoring any tax. More money is collected now from the people than the honest purposes of the government-demand. Alluding to the condition of this State, and the coming election, the Petersburg Index and Appeal has this to say : "The Carolinians must rise in their might in the next election, and throw overboard the foul usurpation which rides and half-runs their noble State. We believe they are resolute in their purpose to accomplish that victory arid redemption. The best prayers of their brothers of Virginia will go out to them in the struggle. Corruption Causes Dissolution. , The Detroit, Michigan, Free Press says: "The Republican party is fast losing its hold upon a class of high minded men who gave it their support out of principle, and not from any hope of profit, directly or indirectly to themselves, except in so far as they, as private citizens, might be benefitted by what was for the best interest of all. These men now see that the Republi can party has no sound cardinal prin ciple on which the Voters can unite. They see also that it; is corrupt to the core, that the men Who are its chief leaders are mere political tricksters, shrewd and cunning, but utterly devoid of sound and enlightened statesman ship. They are men in whom no con fidence can be placed who, while they cannot be depended upon to labor for the interests of the nation, find it a congenial employment to shape politi cal affairs, in the different States by controling the appointing power, and who are often to be found fully en grossed in some scheme which smacks very strongly of plunder. The nation is at present in a ; condition when statesmanship andpurity are required, but the dominant party "is lamentably deficient in both. If it has any states men they have been elbowed out of the way by the Butlers, Richardsons, Sawyers, Camerons,Kelleys and Lo gans; and however honest and eco nomical the party may be in its plat forms, its actual repudiation o,f every plank in those platforms which at present has any life, the Sanborn con tracts and the mail contracts which have been made under Republican administrations, its railroad jobbery, the District of Columbia frauds which have been perpetrated under it, and the Jayne iniquities, stamp it as most dishonest and corrupt." Attorneys from Arkansas will soon visit Washington to plead the causa of Brooks vs. Baxter before the Presi dent. Dr.. Hayes, the Artie explorer, will represent the American Geographical Society at the Millenial Celebration in Iceland. The Washington Republican heartily approves of the Congressional appro priation of $90,000 for the immediate relief . of the sufferers by the Ireshets of the Mississippi: Washington, D. C, April 29. Gen. Vance, of North Carolina, has filed a recommendation before the Commis sion of Internal Revenue for a pardon to all persons who violated the Inter nal Revenue laws in Korth Carolina, upon payment of costs. - Poe. Mr. Paul Hayne, the graceful poet of the South, calls attention to the neglected, state of the grave of Edgar Allen Poe. . Poe was the finest poetic genius produced, by America ; as much a genius as Byron and Burns, and singularly like Byron and Burns' in his originality power, misfortunes and death. It is certainly fitting that we should honor genius, when it comes to' us as it did in the icase of Poe, and we regret that we have no abbey like that of Westminter which might be consecretatedbyits dust. . : ' - ' -Few York Heralds Tk nrtMinr.pment thai .
