False Friends. - The Richmond State argues, and has argued again aud aiain, that the Republican party is not the friend nf the tobacco planter. It gives its : reason for the belief it entertains. In the first place, it was the Repub- , lican party that first laid the tobac co tax on the planter, whilst it is the Democratic party that has re duced the tax from forty to eight cents a pound. Again, two years ago even the consideration of the Henderson resolution, abolishing the license tax on dealers and removing the most oniectionalle features of the internal revenue system, was de feated by Republican votes. A two thirds vote beinz reauired for the suspension of the rules, nearly all the Republicans voted against and nearly all the Democrats for con sideration. Again, the Mills bill, one of whose chief provisions.is the abolition of all the tebacco taxes ex cept those on cigars, cheroots, and cigarettes, is being steadily opposed at every step by the Republicans. Again, when lion. George D. Wise's amendment providing for the aboli tion of these remaining taxes was de feated, the Republicans abstained from voting. It is true that not enough Democrats could be obtained to carry it bat many Democrats did vote for it, whilst all the Republi cans refused to give any assistance whatsoever. So far as concerns the platform of the Republican party, iU reference to the abolition of internal revenue only makes abolition an alternative, to be adopted, if necessary, in order to prevent any reduction in the tariff; whilst the Democratic plat form emphatically endorses in every particular the Mills bilL which pro vides for the abolition of nearly all the taxes on tobacco. But the ac tion ol the Republicans in Congress yesterday on refusing to Tote for a measure abolishing all the tobacco taxes proves that they do not respect even the alternative proposition of their platform. Let these facts be laid before the people of every tobacco growing county in Virginia and North Carolina. Let it be thus fully demonstrated that the Republicans are unwilling to do anything for the relief of the tobacco growers, whilst the Democratic party is trying to relieve them of nearly all their taxes, and that the only taxes they have refused to take off are those on cigars, cheroot and cigarettes. Let the people know that the Democrats are their Inends and that the Republi cans are their enemies. . Is Tins four years during which the act to regulate the civil service of tip United States has been in force 33,344 persons have been ex amined for appointment u Of this number 21,005, or about two-thirds, passed the required examination.but that only made thera "eligible". Of these 21,005 eligibles, 8,612 have re ceived appointments; the other 13,- d are waiting yet It will be seen that there were originally four ap plicants for every place and thus at least three persons were disappoint ed for every one that was made hap py, but this is much better than under the old system of favoritism. Thi latest boy preacher has ap peared in Vincennes, Ind. i His name is Pascal Porter, and he is only 12 years of, age. He wears knee-breeches, black stockings and the regulation suit of black. ; lie has black eyes, black hair and his weight is seventy-five pounds. : In the pulpit he manifests no fear,' and delivers carefully finished sermons on orthodox subjects to large con gregations. A good many people have come to see him out of curiosi ty and have been amazed at his pre cocity. A'ORTU CAROf IN A SKWS.

Last night Ral eigh turned out . to the extent of about four thousand. : An imposing part of the parade was seventy-five or a hundred horsemen from Swift Creek. If hard work follows these jollifications the Democrats need have no fears. But if it is all ' the other way the result may be disas Ix noticing Judge Russell's letter of declination, the Newborn Journ al, with its usual fod sense, make this strong point: The Judge makes one singular omtnission in re citing the evils which have It-fallen the people of .North Carolina since the close of the war. He says the constitution of 1ST5 was a fraud upon the people became a inajorirv of the convention which made it was obtained by fraud, but he omits to tate that that constitution was adopted by the people in a free elec tion, when every man could vote, by about fitteen thousand majority.
