Star 1 i 1 CA R P E.N T ER &. LOGAN, , . SPITORS ASD. PBoPRIETOUS. EUTHERFORDTOS, 5. C. HATCRDAT. FEBRUAUY 7,1869 The Situation. In the midst of the most-gratifying ap pearances of the returning prosperity of the Southern States, covering the pro gress of internal improYcmentSj the in crease of shipping in the maritkn portl, lb extent of land planted, the' introduce tion of -a valuable class of ,im migrant sr together with the influx of capital from the North, the rise in the value of South ern securities and in the general develop xuent f the country,- begin to discern speck of-trouble of a political charac ter making its appearance upon the polit cal horizon.- The 'ignoraril, headsTrbng politicians are-against work. The fire eatersare : becoming troublesome, are obstructing the onward tide : of Southern prosperity. It is unwise in the extreme for native born Southern men to' behave themselves in such a manner asto retard and impede the progress xf the South just at this time, when the! country is again growing quiet, and the heated passions ngendcred by ifiereuellion, ' are, dying Out, and the people are. striving to rebuild "their broken fortunes. It is apparent to rcvery one that'th'e South in a few years will be the garden spot of the "Union, if , our own men will let her. But as kng as the spiritj which denominates every Northern man a' carpet bagger, is kept up, we 'will go backioards and not forward. We are glad to see and- know that this spirit :s dying out in this State. The Military commission appointed by Gen. Grant to-trave! through the South and report,'have performed their duty. They report the South in a great dual better - condition now than at any time since the rebellion, and that North Carolina is in a heller condition than any Southern State. Cdl. Forney's letters have done more for this State than anything we know of.' There is nothing to complain of in North' Carolina in particular. We have been led to these, remarks by the movements now going on in Virginia and Alabama. T-he )ltifi surrender" party of Virginia headed by Henry A. Wise, are fighting everybody and every party, in favor of restoring' Virginia to the Union. A "third party" movement, in Alabama is arpus ing old party feelings, and the clangor of political i trumpets is heard throughout the Sate:- The muddle in Georgia in the Bepuhlican ranks, is tickling the vanity o'f the young cockspurs who have passed ibe ordeal of pantalettes and entered the arena of active life since the surrender of General Lee, and making them actually look upon another fightr with the North As inevitable-, if hot desirable, with a re suit entirely different from that which fob IQwea tne last struggle at arras. - This is the veriest nQnsense the height of iabsumJity. It is unwise, red io lous ' and i detf irtietal t d t:r interests for Southern newspapers and would he orav tors to begin the game of 18G1, and those ytho are I guilty of committing these acts of rashness a:vd folly should be treated as the South'a wdrst foes the enemies of bar future opqlence and power. The . Southern Stat js, have nothing' to donw butstijdy how to develop their resources. htfw to,'improve their reputation in the mind 6f the the people of the Old World and ofj the North, and to assure those who nih to settle upon her soil, till her fidlds, ork er mines, put her immense iter powers ipio viuccesiui use, mat tnev wil be cordially welcomed arid 'protected in their persons and property. ' When Gen. Grant assumes the reins of the Govern'' ment, the peopl' of the South,v will very soon -understand that ho is no Audrew Johnson; that ho" docs pet intend to make confusion worse con'fpuhded," by remodeling the wbik of reconstruction. The work of three years will not be dis itlrbod, and foqr years under the guid a'hco of Gep. Grant will drive away all enfuiion, in ttis; Southern country, and almost leave no trace of the rebellion. The only thing that the people of the South havet.i do is to mind their own business,' pay no attentiou to anything that tends to keep up strife or retard .Im migration; and capital ; work hard, raise good crops, be economical, save money, anilet the headstrong near-sighted, ig norant politicians go to 'the Devil -where they belong. In view of the"speedy com pletion of the Railroad to this place, this article "will especially ! apply to ' the peo je of Western North Curolina.' ! Public Scliools. What dvlia the 3uvndard mean by its article on "Mixed Schools 1" It looks very much like the decided and firm stand taken by the Republican party in kpril hut, is to be given cp,a)Kl oppo.te grounds taken The Standard certainly hint d that way in its article on '-Mixed Schools." For the. Republican of Wes tern North Carolina, we desire- to say that siujfc a policy wiH not U loUruUd.rr We fought the campaign for the Consti tution decidedly, against mixed schools.

We are astonished that the (Stancfarrf-should even hint atf such" a thing.. Jt w ould appear that the Republican par- ?ty will say one thing to Secure of the people and turn round 'it he votes in a few inoiiUis after the vktory h ii been won, and do Another.'

We ask the Standard io explain itself.. )MniICATIOS. For tli Star. Messrs. 'Editob?. ;The newi has just reached us, that the Supreme Court of our State has recently decided the law, comou y known as thfc,Stay Law, to be unconsti tutional. 4 I have noihing (o say in rpgnrd to -the Sripreme Court : as a branch of the Slate Government, they have performed their duty. It seems' to be remarkable that we can have no stability in our government, that the people are tossed from pillar to post, ike I might say a common football, for, no sooner is an important law passed, and a itfle time given the people to prepare for it, than it is repealed, or some - Hood piclcer, takes it to th-e.inpreme Court, hoping that. it may be decided unconstitutional, buch a sceue can no be imagined, as will take place provided,- Creditors are allowed to proceed judgment,- execution and sale, in the col- lecnou of debts now duo. In answer to this, ;t niay he 8,aid, and will be said thatV the benefits of the Hiimestead, will be an offset ; not so, for m reason, that not a dollar can- be collected, from any one not worth more than fitteeu hunred dollar. 1 In some districts, the Spring Courts have J commenced, and in others they will soon cauterized, and t lie proper remedies ad iiin commerice, therefore it is very i niportant, istered, by a physician, w ith a view, if no's-' that the ,General Assembly should act upon' this matter,-and act at once, unless they do, no one can imagine the distress in the. coun try' ; i I regretted very mqch to see iii the mes sage of the Governor, his recomendttliou for a repeal of the Stay law, aud n w that it has been decided unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, his influence jnay be brought to bear, against the passage of any law of like principle; I hope not, for he uught to know,' that the Itepublican party, and his iminediate frieuds, will suffer greatly from such a ,crash. Attempts hare been made more than once in the Ildnse of Representative?, to repeal the Stay law, which have been overwhel mingly voted down, this same strength, can rmedy the evil now existing, caused by the decis'oa of the Supreme Court. ' It IiTas been frequently stated that t,here is a certain class o'f Carpet Baggers in the General Assembly, extreiqely desirous to cut all things loos, let property go to sale, so that they may become the great laud mon gers of the fcoulh. Ufitch tj tiu'if liny need it in every move, if they are. not stop-. ped iu their course we are a ruiQil people. j- SALLUST. - For Hid Star. - At a Republican meeting held in Morgan Township, No. 12, in Rutherford County on the 20lh Feb. 1869 On motion of Henry Kefer, J; II.

At the lipur appoin ed the Judge came up, lead ing the sorriest looking horse ever seen in inese pans, in a lew minutes, Mr. Lincoln' was seen approaching with a wooden saw horse on his shoulder.

That he had not imparted his choice to any one; 3L hm he fully purposed not to inform any one-uyt CX'U the persons whom he fully intend to call aronnd him as Cabin-S et Mlsisiers till within a, day or to ofi his inauguration J.4 That be has a reason for this resolre,- which, we wlU set forth in his own wordg,. yii "Alter consideration, 1 have come to. the conclusion that there i not a man in the country who could" be iuv'ited to a place in the Cabinet without friends of some other gentleman making an i tTort to scure the position ; not - that there would be any objection to the party narncd bnt-tbat there jroildT&Uoyitrs: whom they had set their hearts upon having in the place. I can tell that front the great nnmbt r of requests w hich come to me, in. writing and otherwise 'for this particular person Or thai one, trom d liferent sets and delegations. If announced in advance, efforts would be! tade tg. change ivy determination ; and therefore 1 have eome to tho conclusion not to amtvunce vhont I m going to in vite to seats in the Cabinet until 1 send in their names to the Senate for confirm 4 ation," In other words : having made up hisi mind as to those whont he wants (n hi Cabinet, Gen. Grant docs not propose to aid iliose who. may w ish to impose others upt.n him instead, by publishing the names of his chosen counselors, anJ thus inviting co ubinations of the disappointed and k .-J ..1 . l. i r nil-- ouic'iiciiutu louveioear ins tnoice. llnsi is frank, straightliu-wnrd, business-like. If objections shall exist to any of Gen Grain's nominees for Cabinet positions,) let them be made and considered in the. Senate, where they will be pertinent and in order. It is not tlin tint v of the Pre-s.dent-elect to give those objections and the objectors faeiiiiou consequences and! lower through premature publicity. VV e do not, know how the impression! became prevalent that it is the ctis;om of our incoming Presidents to at.'nyuoCij their Caluit ta a ii oiilh or so -in advance t their own inauguration , but it is ccrtaitdy ;ni trior, in two or three mst-an'cita. it may have become generally know., that : , A., B. or C. would be invited to a seal n the Cabinet as if, was .known isoon after MiJ. Lincoln's electioii that Gov. Stw.n-.l would be his Secretary of sjaate ; yd even in that case, it was not t,ill after Mi L. was inaugurated and 'in full possession of the VMii.te House, that his selections for Cabii.et Ministers were fully made known! But the, choice of pen-ons to aid hiiii in administering the 'Government holds 1 secondary place iii the mind of the Pivsil dent elect. Ilis first thought is given Up the principles and ends which are to be his guide and theirs. He commences his reply to the remarks of Senator Murtoik as follows . ! 4I can promise the committee that it will be my endeaor to call around meai assistants, sUjCh men only as I think wil, carry out the principles which yon have said the country desires to see Mjccessfu; economy, retrenchmeritf, faithful collec tion, of the revenue, and paynientf.- of the Public Debt. If I should fait in; my firsl, choice, I shall not at any time hesitate to make a second, or even a third trial, will the concurrence of the Senate, who have the confirming power, and should just a: sjon remove one of my own appointees as the appointee of my prcd.cossor. It would make no difference," j ''Paymeni of the Public Debt," mindj you! not merely faithful and prompt liquidation of the accruing interest, but payment of tho Debt -itself. This is jusi wha,t the people desire and the gold gam; biers will defeat if possible; The Debt, whiclj to the masses is a burden, is to the stock-jobbers a mine of wealth, arf advantageous a his balanc:n"gpole to the rope R'alkcr. We ought to pay of prin clpal Fifty Millions per ahn.utn at the very least, and thence run up to One Hundred and Fifty Millions after a few years of peaceful progress, so as to wipe out tin last vestige of the Debt within twenty years. Were it inorally vt-rtaia that this would be done, our bonds wou! j rise rapidly to specie par and above, 'jtj, and our Five-Twenties might yery sooil be funded in a non-taxable four percent, .vtving lroni Thi rty to 'Forty Millions pe annum " tliaf. 'wis are now paying in ex cessive rates of intei est rates that de prive the poor man of any opportunity to borrow ave tip cxi-piye ratos, cause the capitalist can d'o better by be , i :..vi-iiiii(?! loiids. We must vestiiii; oi v -- chans this ant d savo the Tliirty or Fortv Millions nor annum to reotice the prn-i cipa! of our Debt ; and thb dwuld take precdmec of any further -investment of the National Prcdit in Ilailfoads; ihey arc needed, and will yet bo constructed; but let us fust reestablish our National solvency and tvduce the in'crcslon oixj ' i .
