THE SOUTH,

TIE REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh .Stdndaid, GOV. lIolden's
paper says "A friend writes us as follows
from beyond the mountains. He repeats,
what is well known, that the splendid Re
publican triumph beyond the Blue Ridge is
due to the whites, MS there are but few color
ed voters in that region;
we have CLOSED in triumph bitter CAM
pagn in the mountains. Every effort and
influence las been brought to bear to over
throw and thwart us this side the mountains,
but we have triumphcd, and beyond the col
ored vote showing conclusively that the col
orcd vote didn't do il. Our mountain peo-
pie are determined to 20 back TO the Union
on the terms prescribed by Congress.
We think the white vote for u Convention
can not be less than 10000 Many white
voters perhaps i,o00--did not 90 TO the
polls and vote the Republican ticket, from
fear that general negro suffrage would in the
end be lost, and they would there incur last
ing odium. But they can now see their way
clearly, and will hereafter act openly ant
boldly with the Republican party. W.
think the Republicans, Of this State cal
hereafter count with certainty on steady
| vote of 100000

From the Cincinnati Gazette
Most Of the charges are notoriously true
The resi- we doubt are not susceptible OF
proof. However wide tho range or the
t.ommittec's Investigation, their report is
directed solely 10 those oilenses which con
stitule high crhues and misdemeanQrs. and
they have presented IN array OF these that
must be conclusive 10 every one who thinks
that rebellion is treason, and that official
ireachery to the country in war is crime.
Hair isburg Telegraph, Senator camcron's organl
The majority report appears to be a dig
niiied argument, n searching examination
of the facts, and Il confident appeal 10 The
law and the lastlMany. We have here the
llahora.e argument, tho logical deduction
aud tho fearless recommendation to try the
President, and If convicted hurl him from
position which his abilities are unequal Il
and his crimes disgrace.
The minority report OF the two ReDub,

BES Woop's Daily NeDs, the organ OF the
New York roughs, speaks in very Insulting
manner of Sheriff Herbert, on account Of his
recent interference with the sport of some of Its
patrons at Newark, in this State. The probable
reason is that the reporter of that sheet was ar
rested and put out of the telegraph room by the
Sheriff for an attempt to pry into and overhear a
private conversation the Sheriff was having with
the telegraph operator nj Newark.
