- The Raleigh Standard, in speaking of
the late election, says -
This brilliant result is TO be attributed to a
number of causes, and among them, first, to
the abiding confidence of the people of the state
in David S. Reid as an honest man and consis-
tent politician; secondly, to the strength of
the free suffrage principle, of which he is the
originator and champion and thirdly, to the
popularity of Pierce and King among onr peo-
pie, and the odium which attaches in the pub
lie mind to the Scott and Graham ticket.

Scott in North Crohna.-A portion of the
Wings of North Carolina, opposed to the cleo
tlon of Gen. Scott, have resolved not to sustain
hls nomination, and have, therefore, made out
new ticket, which they declare their inten-
hon to support. The Wilmington CONNER
ciai' whig paper, of the 10th inst, published
an auoress to the public, headed with Daniel
Webster for President, and VIM. A. Graham
for Vice President. In the Address the con-
viction that Scott will not be elected is nrettv
freely asserted, but the expressed object is to
declare to the public their utter repugnance to
the whig nominee.
A similar movement, it is said, is about to
be made in Georgia, and is likely to spread
throughout the South

"a man, l tell you, who will grace the pres-

and do honor to the nation. In him we may
repose the most absolute and unreserved conf

What strikes in him most is The bold conf

Dear President RicAards:-I have been re-

kind. The name Of the brother is Thomas

are simply as follows :--On the oath Of March
last his youngest daughter sickened, In thee
days the small pox broke out upon her body
but on the 30th she was completely covered,
from the crown of her head TO her feet.
Two other of his children had also the disca.

day, the father who Is a priest in the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Tin the week

branches, in order to find an elder to administer
TO his children, walking some sixteen mlles,
but could not find an elder at liberty to sccom-
pany him, but the brethren at the two branches,
viz: Wordsley and Bakeley, engaged to pray
for hi IN and family at ten o'clock P NJ, the
time he, the father, was TO administer to them.
He returned home, annointed his children
with pure olive oil, according to the Scriptures,
laid his hands upon them, rebuked the disease,
in the name. ofthc Lord Jesus and they were
healed from that very hour. The child, whose
body was mass Of sores, at ten clock at night

A Speck of TrO sib . In Georgia.

Two Delegations frou the State of Georgia
have been selected to attend the Baltimore Con.
ventio1, which met Tuesday Union and Sc.
cession delegation.
What will be the course Of the Convention il
is impossible to determine. The case of Geor
gia will be somewhat similar to that of New
York in 1913. Then il we mistake not, the
"Barnburners' retired and the Hunkers, remain
ed and participated in the selection of candi
dates In this case, each party claims pre-emi
nence as to numerical strength There is nc
test, but the last Governors election, upon
which to settle the question, and this we pre-
sumo, will not be considered reliable one. To
receive one and exclude the other, would ere.
ate fatal breach, while to receive both would
be doing injustice to other states To receive
an equal number of each delegation, would
probably dissatisfy both, while to exclude both.
would present novel case and operate unjustly
to the democracy of the State.
In this extraordinary dilemma, we can per-
ceive but one course for reconciliation and har
mony, and that is, TO relieve the Convention of
all responsibility, by mutual meeting and COM
promise of the matter, between the delegations.
Such course would produce harmony and such
result we earnestly desire
We shall wait with great anxiety for the re-
suit OF the Convention and give the news i'm
mediately upon Its reception by us.

The South end OF the City.

We learn that the City Council has taken a
new step in the line Of Internal lmpro vernents,
They have discovered that the new Code author
thorizes the County Court to improve roads
leading into city, or Incorporated town and
they appointed Alderman Burt to bring the case
before Judge Lowell, for the purpose of having
the south end o! Locust street, between Fifth
street and the city boundary, elevated above
high water. The case was heard yesterday
and it will be gratifying to our fellow citizens in
town and country, to know that the Court has
granted the request. We are rejoiced at this,
for that road was entirely inaccessible for the
last two months. and farmers coming from the
south were obliged to travel two miles round TO
get into the city. Whatever may be said Of
the Common Council, we are assured that they
are actively attentive to the interests of the city;
and we congratulate them for having in this in
stance, moved in the right direction. We hope
to hear the same application made Of the law 10
