Congressional Elections In North Carolina
The time is again rapidly approaching when cleo
tions will be held over the State for members to re-
present in the next Congress of the United States
It is known that recent elections in North Carolina
have exhibited a Democratic predominance in the
popular vote while by means of the hocus pocus to
which the Congressional Districts have been subject
ed this Democratic State was represented in the last
House of Representatives by Wing Congressman, in
the proportion of two to one Tho Democratic men,
bers in the last Legislature, either from motives of
mistaken delicacy or misplaced generosity, refused
to Interfere with this matter, and it now remains
with the people themselves to make effort to rem
edy this glaring injustice We know that the course
of the Democratic Representatives in the last Con-
gress was more in accordance with the wishes and
feelings of their constituents of both parties than
was that of the Wings To illustrate this, VIC need
only contrast Messrs AsHE and STANLY. Why
then should not North Carolina send fair proper
tion of able and faithful Democrats TO Congress
There are doubtful districts which should be and
must be carried What are friends in the eighth
district about There is nothing certain than
that united effort in that district must result in
Democratic triumph. The Wing party is split m.
The course of Mr.. STANLr has alienated many of his
former political friends and he has backed out Of
course there are gentlemen of talents and private
character in their ranks but, politically speaking.
they have not one strong man among them to fill
Mr.. SrANLr's place; and, moreover the shutting
of the Wing party leaders upon the Southern
question: and upon the basis question in this State,
has very much weakened the position of any man
who may attempt TO upon their platform. All
other things being equal, we believe Democrat can
be elected from the eighth district, purely upon par
ty grounds if the party is only united and enhusi-
astic There is no doubt that there will be large
Democratic prcponderance in both Houses of the
next Congress, that the gain of a member, more
or less, in this State might matter of compa-
rativc insgnifcance But such is far from beirg the
fact. Upon the next House of Representatives will
devolve the choice of President in the event of a
failure to elect by the people. In the election of
President by the House each State is entitled to
vote and no more. and the election of ma orty Of
the Congressional delegation will determine which
party will have the control of the vote of the State
That the election of President may go to the House.
is by no means an improbable contingency, hence
the peculiar Importance which attaches to the Au-
gust elections.

Death of Three Editors.

Within the last week. three OF the most influential
Editors in the United States have shu1ed off this
mortal COLI Hon. ISAAC HILL of the New Hamp-
shire Patriot JOHN S. SKINNER, of the Plough,
Loom, and Anvil" and M. NJ. Noah, of the New
York Sunday Times. Hon. Isaac HILL was a Demo-
cratic leader and editor in New Hampshire for many
years, and was successfully elected Governor and
United States Senator. He was native of Massa-
chusetts and died at Washington City on the 21st.
Major Noah, the first report of whose death was in
correct, did actually die Saturday, the ODD, of
paralysis. He born in PhiladelpL :a in 1884 of
Jewish parents and was jealous defender of the
Jewish faith. Mr.. SKINNER, of the 8: Plough LOOM
and Anvil killed by falling down flight of

the talents and learning which these gentlemen

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Intelligence has been
received at Baltimore of the loss of three vessels

gerous freight for vessels long voyages and where
it is so closely slowed as to preclude ventilation.

of which number l54, O93 were born in Brazil and
1898 in foreign countries. The large proportion
of foreigners has been caused by the constant influx
of slaves from Africa There were 43, l29 men, and

election of United States Senator from that State
in place of Fremont, whose term expired on the 4th
inst. The Legislature to elect Senator the
18th Col. Fremont was said to be regaining his
popularity, and might possibly be elected. Between
him and T. Butler King there is little to choose
The Assembly has concurred in the resolution ma
king Vallejo the future seat of government. The
population of San Francisco is now twenty. three
thousand. Several shocking murders had been COM
mitted on the Isthmus of Panama, and four negroes
have been arrested against whom there is said to be
strong proof of guilt. The difficulties with the In
dams have been the increase and several battles
have been fought, in which, of course the Indians
have been routed. Efforts have been made in the
Legislature to raise funds and start troops to carry
on the war United States Commissioners have left
Stockton, escorted by hundreds of U. S. troops
and it is hoped that they may be able to form trea
ties with the mountain tribes, and thus restore quiz
ct to the country. The miners have met with varied
success Some have succeeded in accommodating a
competency, while others have not made their board.
The California Legislature in joint ballot is said TO
stand as follows: Democrats q; Wings 10; indie
pendents 5 ; Democratic majority over Wings and
Independents 4, and two of the Independents will
vote for Democratic candidate in certain contin-
gency. The prominent candidates for the Senate,
are Col. Fremont Mr.. Haydenfeldt, and T. Butler
King. The two first are Democrats the last is a
Wing It strikes us that this Mr.. Haydenfeldt is
known very strong Southern pro-slavery man.
| Fremont's chances seem to be the strongest.
