The i Star tas already ex pressed its views in general terms. We are really gratified to see so much interest in the matter of public econ omy, 3sd we have strong hopes that much good will come; from the dis cussmoiu The power of the press to reform abuses andto , carry forward 'to successful coustimmation works of public utility, cannot be questioned by any one. If the press has been sometimes an engine of oppression, it has generally stood up for; the right with' a manfalness 1 worthy of the noblest characters, and nas been the real custodian and friend of the liheriiesof the people. . When! then the press of any State takes hold of :ir:y principle or practice with a uni itul purpose-to crush or improve, we -may look for results corresponding enureiy wua sncn results. We re gard it as a matter for gratulation that the papers of North Carolina are devoting bo much of their space to the discassion of those great questions that so much concern the material and intellectual development of our people. Every true friend of sound, economical government, and of pop nlar education, must wish them God; speed in their efforts to secure the greatest, happiness for the largest number. " ' ' Among the most timely and prac tical articles we have seen appeared in the Raleigh JTews of some, weeks asjo, and ' was signed "A Farmer." We intended .at .the time drawing some figures from it, but other mat tersnsommanded our attention We suggested in an editorial some time ago that whilst it was necessary to cut down salaries and curtail ex penses, that care. should be taken not to be too excessive in that direction. To be "penny-wise" sometimes r ends in being fpound-foolish," according to the well knqwh saw-.1 '";. V..'

They will be bound to act. He estimates the Governor's ' pay, iucludiug cFerk hire, at $5,350, .. and says: . l ,----- : :-' ; "Before the war, Graham, r Bragg, Reid, Ellis, and , others received $3,000 and no clerk liire.' .Why then.'i should the' cpu-, tinue to be this increase of $2,350 in one' office to be paid by a people not half as wealthy ae we were in 1860 f " We think, the Crovernor of a State with some twelve hundred thousand people should, receive, all told $3,060 as his salary, exclusive of a hotlse.' Hixpenscs in Kaleigh are greater no w than they were in the ays of 1 Gra ham and Bragg. It costs .more to. . live. In'those days a Governor had' often to draw on his private iuods.
