MARSHALS. : 'The presidential "Fraud", has, treated his frienis, the United States Marshals, rath er badly; he has vetoed the billuppropria t ins: money, to pay them, because the Democrats did not puVthe bill in a shape to. suit him. This is the first time in the history of legislation Jiijfoctty-,: bif ttre Presidential incum bent has ever assumed the right totell the Congress of the United. States, in what manner "and for what purposes, they must make ap propriations. . We are of the opinion that the rightto make appropriations be longed to them x alone, and the excutive was bound to see that. the appropriations were properly applied ;but we have never knownjuntil now, that an executive ever thought, that lie had the right to dictate to Congress inwhat peculiar phraseology these, appropriations should be made. If the Marshals are not paid, and the United States courts, should be compelled for frant .of funds, to close up shop, the Presidential Fraud is alone to blame. In pur experience, wc. think it would be a God send to the whole country if they i were closed;, as they are, in the Southern .States, more of an. engine of oppression, than they are a benefit. . We suggest that the 31 arshals manifest their sense by im t&ediately resigning. 1 . Since writing, the. above we have ascer tained, that a Republican 3Iarshal never resigns. ' ' " : 1 i VS. J OKTll. j Editor Democrat : The people South g. - j f mslyg oeen so oiien viiinoa ana misrepre tsented by the Northern press, as a race of semi-civilized cut . throats, ; that we have become used to it, and when we fail to find in a Republican paper, pub lished North, an editorial not abusive of the South, we feel kind of disappointed, find sorry for the editor; think something is going to happen to him, or he is about to I chancre : his nnlitiral nnininns nr his politics. - -it is to us surpassing strange, why this . system of abuse and misrepresentation, i should be so per sistently kept up; one can scarcely pick lip a Republican paper published North, but you will find its columns! filled with lies and abuse of the South; and we have some very dirty birds of like ilk in our o wn State We are led to these reflec tions from looking over a lo lican papers published North; would very naturally suppose! ing them, that all the white ; of Repub a foreigner from read people did negro nasJ oeen Kinea We are satisfied that South, was to kill negroes, that the end and aim of each man's existence, was to kill a negro, every morning before breakfast, j As an offset to thi, we will venture the assertion, that east of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, five whites have been killed by .negroes since 18u4, wnep one by a white man no sane person wifl dispute ;this. This persistent misrepresentation' of the South is no new thing; it commenced with the century, but was not systemized until within thej past 35 years; and .notwith standing the whole country is .bound by a net workjof iron roads, and the. people from all parts, in daily communication, still this abuse and misrepresentation. There is not a Republican editor of any intelligence in any Northern- city, who believes the one-tenth of the tales he publishes about the Southern ppcpte hc..:&ftatilj feutl; ou the frontiers cl Texas, orjeven in the -near! State of JAx bama or 3J!ississippi, result in a shooting scrape, inj which one or more of ther parties is jkilled, the Northern "papers will be filled with accounts of it, and the whole South will be held up to the con tempt of the world, as a set of barbarians, semi-civilised; and the participators in these outbreaks, will be called repre sentatives of : 1 'Southern chivalry ;" and very probably each .one of the same papers,! will contain accounts pf-at least two dozed cases of arson, murder, burg larly and highway robber',1 committed in their ovtn neighborhoods. We prefer the plantation manners", of Texas, Alabama and 31ississippi. We remember once being twitted abasfi the prevalence of crime In this State, by j a gentleman from Boston;1 it was years ago, the gen tleman reimarked that he! had seen a statement jthat there were SO counties in the State, and that the prisoners averaged four to a; jail; we replied by handing him a Boston journal, in which there was a statement that the commitments for crime; in the prisons of Jthat Godly city',, loathe year ending June 1st, 18, was over 15, 000, and said to him that Boston then had a population of 162,000; and North Carolina a population of over one million. The argument ended; and the argument would be ended now, if the Northern papers would do us simple justice. We venture . the assertion that there arejmore men killedin brawls or robberies in the cities of New York and Brooklyn in one year than in the State of North "Carolina in ten years; and that there are more divorces in 3IassachuseUs in one year than in North Carolina in 25 years, e had passed our 21tt year of life before Aye had ever heard of an at tempt to get a divorce in our old State, and if wd remember correctly the matter was befo(re ; our. Legislature for' several years. We would like much for our political discussions to be parried on without so much misrepresentations, it does no co pd, and' serves to keep alive the embers i of discord, peace. . ': . Let.! lis have I They know how to settle filibustering or wayward Senators down inj Jamaica. When the Senate disregards the will of the populace they go for i their j shot-guns and shobt'em on the spot. If that policy liad been introduced into this j country during : the late session of Congress the multitude of first-class funerals would have deprived both branches of a quorum several months ago. Piilq. Times. j Stanley 3Iatthews still I possesses a certain fascination for the average inter viewer, and has just been called upon for his views on the Ohio campaign by a New York reporter. ; He thinks "Charley Foster is sure to win," and furnishes these reasons, for " the faith that is in him: 'j'Ewing is a cold, impassive man, and don't shake hands with the people. Charley Foster is just the other way." Phila. Times; ' i V The United States ' ilarshal out in lichigan," who telegraphed to ask Attor ney General Devens whether he should continue to serve warrants in crinainal cases; wonJct. have known without asking if he were competent for the official posi tion that he holds, and ; the Attorney General consumed a good many unneces sary words in answering . him. There i9 nothing in the action of Congress that any sensible: person could construe into a prohibition against or an obstacle to the execution of any of the legitimate duties of a marshal. All that is contemplated is a fair warning to these officers that a partisan 'discharge of these duties will not be tolerated, and the wise marshal, who would like to be paid some day or other, has only to 'bear this in mind and attend to his business.
