North Carolina Election.


The latest returns of the North Carolina
election still indicate the success Of D. S. REID,
the Democratic candidate for Governor. Twen-
ty-seven counties heard from, which give KERR,
Wing, 1856; REID, Democrat, 1921; leav-
ing REID's majority SO far, 1926. The same
counties gave REID in 1850 majority Of 3, 1872.
The present returns, therefore, exhibit gain
for reid of l43. The Senate, it is still thought.
is Democratic, but the House of Commons will
probably be Wing. If the Wings obtain a
majority on joint ballot. it will secure to them
the United States Senator, and enable them to
district the State fairly for the election Of
members of Congress under the new apportion-
ment.
Let none Of our friends despair of North
Carolina on account of the result of the guber-
material election, which has been affected by
causes that will not touch the national election.
We feel confident that the Old North State
will give WINFIELD Scorr majority of near
ten thousand votes.

The Pay Of the Government Clerks.

In view of the enhancement Of prices Of
every kind, proposition is now before Con-
gress to increase the salaries of the Gov
eminent clerks some twenty per cent. We
think the proposed increase is just towards a
class of men whose labor is. often severe on
their health, and whose talents for business,
taking into consideration the precarious tenure
of their employment, should enable them at
least to furnish bread and meat and clothing
children, and ordinary house room for the de-
cencies oflife. If any one thinks the salary of
clerk is already sufficient, let him try it for
himself; and if he has an ordinary share of
life's burdens to bear, he will soon have rea-
son, we think, to discover his error.
Some of these men render invaluable ser
vices to the Government, of which the public
can have little or no knowledge; and of course
they have no recompense but their monthly
stipend, and an approving conscience.
While we have ever been disposed to pro-
hibit clerks under the Government from en-
gazing in business outside the sphere of their
duties, such as corresponding for newspapers,
acting as claim agents, &c., and from receiving
sums from private individuals for the efficient
performance of their public duty, we are at the
same time in favor of making them such an al
lowance of pay as shall take away all pretext
for the irregularities complained Of.
We know that many people have taken up
an idea, because clerk usually wears clean
linen and has a whole crown to his hat, that
he is leading very luxurious life; but if such
persons will cast their eyes to our city suburbs.
they will find that many of this useful class of
men, who have families to support, are actu-
ally "hewers Of wood and drawers of water"
in their out-of Office hours, in order that they
may keep out of debt and make the two ends
meet, in the language Of the homely proverb.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that Congress
will give their case such consideration and
award as it deserves, at the same time guard
ing the public interests against abuse and de-
triment.

Our Revenue System.

Year after year the attention of Congress
has been directed to the fact that the present
system of collecting duties on imports operated
as direct bounty on fraud and perjury, and
that American merchants were being gradually
driven from the business Of importation because
foreign manufacturers could introduce their
goods paying twenty, thirty, aud forty per cent.
less than would be required to be paid by our
own merchants who made their purchases abroad.
Further, it has been shown that under this
system, which looks to the ultimate destruction
of all competition with British mills and Brit
ish furnaces for the supply Of the world with
iron and cloth, the Government was making
itself party in the work Of destruction by re-
ducing it's claim precisely as the foreigner re-
duced his price, and thus adding to the power
of the foreign manufacturer. Thus, in 1876,
when Great Britain insisted that the world
should pay her .sl2 ($57 COY for ton Of rail-
road bars. the duty was $l7 %, making total of
E4 SS. BY degrees, foreign competition tended
to lower her prices, and it became necessary to
put an end to that competition, and iron gradu-
ally fell in price until it reached IS per ton,
our Government at the same time aiding the
foreign manufacturer in the work by reducing
the duty until it reached 81 20; the treasury
thus relinquishing moro than $40 per ton, to
enable the iron producing aristocracy Of Eng.
land more speedily and effec,ually to crush the
iron producing democracy of America. The
effect of this is seen in the fact that out of
forty-,hree furnaces in Clarion and Armstrong
counties, Pennsylvania, all but two have passed,
as we are told, through the hands Of the sheriff
since tho date of the act Of 1876. If this state
ment is erroneous, we beg that our Locofoco
friends will correct it by furnishing US with an
accurate account Of the number of furnaces in
those counties, the number now in blast, and
the number that have passed through the hands
OF the sheriff in the last six years.
1t has been shown that Great Britain herself
repudiated the system of ad valorems at home,
while advocating it abroad as affording the
greatest facilities TO the smuggler, who has
been described in the British House of Lords

oLITIcALSIeNs.-Ebenezcr Knowlton, Of Maine,
Locofoco Speaker of the Maine House Of Represen-
tatives in 1877, prominent man Of that party for
many years, and proposed for Congressional and
Gubernatorial nominations from them, bolts from
Pierce and King, and says, in a published letter:
81 cannot and shall not vote with the Democratic
party at the coming Presidential election"
Every thing in the Keystone State looks pro-
missing for General Scott. Wing paper in Har-
risburg says in one township an old gentleman
and his TWELVE SONS, all Democrats, have declared
their determination to vote for General Scott, and
scores Of similar instances could be given. Hun.
dreds of Democrats in Harrisburg and throughout
Dauphin county will rally to his support, and there
is no telling what his majority will be. The paper
states that If the other counties in the State do as
well as old Dauphin, the majority for Scott and
Graham will not fall short of ~, 900.
The Detroit Aduertissr says not day passes over
their heads wherein they do not hear of one or
more men who have usually voted against us, de-
claring their intention to go for Scott. That paper
states it their settled belief that Michigan, Indi
ana, and Wisconsin are sure for Scott.

The Southern Press has ceased to be num-
bered amongst the journals Of Washington. Its
obituary appeared in its own columns yester-
day. The non-fulflment Of their obligations
by subscribers, and the failure Of the original
promoters to carry out their promises, are the
main reasons assigned by Mr.. FISHER, the
proprietor, for the abandonment of the under
taking, which he describes as the source Of
heavy pecuniary losses to himself.
The failure Of a Journal started and upheld
for the advancement of extreme sectional views,
at period Of great national peril, cannot form
the subject of regret in any quarter. The re-
fusal OF the South to Gender to it the required
support is evidence of the love with which the
Union is regarded in districts that have been
deemed most ripe for the dissemination Of
disunion doctrines. We make this remark
with no ungenerous feeling towards Mr.. FISH
Err, gentleman of character and marked abil-
ity, who has labored in conjunction with his
associate, Mr.. De LEON, with an earnestness
which in a better cause could scarcely have
failed to secure more satisfactory result.

Rally at Mobile.

From the Mobile Advertiser, August /.
Notwithstanding the extreme heat of the wea-
ther and the distance from town of the place &c.
lectsd for the barbecue, the attendance yesterday
was large, and the spirit manifested BODIED well for
the cause in the present canvass. The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Blocker, upon whose
motion G. LEBARoN, esq, was unanimously cho-
sen president; and several vice presidents and two
secretaries were also chosen. Upon taking the
chair Mr.. LeBaron made a few remarks, and in
troduced Colonel Breedin, who proceeded at some
length TO give account of his acts a delegate
to the Baltimore Wing Convention. He was lis
tened to with attention and interest, and his re-
marks were received with much appreciation. 81,
Colonel Breedin was succeeded by Hon G. B.
Duncan, Of New Orleans, who entertained the as.
sembage with one Of the clearest most logical and
convincing speeches to which We have for q long
time listened. He was frequently interrupted with
enthusiastic applause. While speaking most
courteousiy Of our opponents, ne dealt them some
convince by exhibiting the strength and merit Of
our nominees, than BY depreciating the Demo-
cratic candidates. When Mr.. Duncan concluded,
the audience removed to the dinner-tables, where
was spread an ample and luxuriant repast.
Dinner over, the speaking at the stand was con.
tinued by Mr.. Berrnudez, who was educated ut
Springhill College, and is young gentleman Of
r1miss he said ne came a the
the young men Of Mobile that louisiana was up
and doing, and would speak in unmistakable tones.

Colonel Wheat, of New Orleans, then took the
stand and made brief and forcible speech No
report could do justice to the spirit and nervous
ness Of his delivery. His was just such speech
as, delivered at the head of q regiment, would
make every man clasp bis musket and inspire him
with a burning desire to grapple with the enemy:
Some Of his hits were capital; and he concluded
amid the enthusiastic plaudits Of the multitude.
A resolution was then offered by Col. Blocker,
inviting the Wings of the State to appoint dele
gates to Wing convention at Montgomery, on
the fourth Monday of August. for the purpose Of
selecting q Scott and Graham electoral ticket.
During the day Cerro Gordo club was organized;
and other resolutions were passed. which will ap.
pear in the official report of the proceedings. At
about five O'Clock the meeting adjourned to con-
vene at the Amphitheatre last evening at eight
O'Clock: The proceedings Of the adjourned meet.
ing will be given in our next issue. We are also
promised a report Of the speeches delivered at the
barbecue.
The Wings of Mobile may we'll be satisfied with
the results Of yesterday. The old FIRE Is rekndled;
and we can say to our friends in the country that
Mobile Is all right, and may be depended upon for
efficient aid in the Scott and Graham canvass. Let
the good work 60 on.
