North, do not amount to much after ALL
There has been no democratic gain of materi-
al consequence in Maine, and so far as the
whole country is concerned the elections
have produced no benefit to eopperheads

Republicans who did not vote ct all That
is not much of shower-sirce the Republi-

which it advises its readers to give such
support as they consistently can to the re-
construction acts, soilong as they are the:law

malcontents to hold State Convention in
Raleigh on Wednesday, the 10th of next

paper, calls upon its friends in Virginia and
North.C Carolina to unite and Horganize, and
determine whether they will vote for or
against Convention. The index wants the

This is a specimen Of tile wit of the organ.
Mr.. Cannon is well k1e~u to the people west
of the Ridge, and has their confidence. He
is also well known to many intelligent per-
sons east of the Ridge. The sheer of the
organ can not injure him, but on the contra.
ry will benefit him in the estimation of de-

The Ducktnwn Railroad is the old Wes-

OBsTRUCTING REGIsTRATI0N.-We learn
that colored man from Hyde County arriv-
ed in this City last evening, who states that
the Registers Of the county refused to regis
ter the colored people, telling them on the
first day that all the white men must be reg.
istered first, and on the second day, that
there were no more blank oaths. The mat
ter will be investigated by Major ]. ]. Van
Horn, Post Commander. -Nep Bernie Rep1s6-,
lican. ,s, So 5se. ~ II .ys,
This obstruction should be removed at
once There must be no distinction in po-
litical rights and privileges between the two
races. But this is no worse than the threats
made by the Sentinel and other rebel sheets
in this State, that if the colored people should
vote with the Republicans they will be turn
ed out of employment. And yet the Ssnti-
mel and its conductors are raising great cry
about prescription, confscation and disfran-
chisenent. We say, in reply, that there can
be no prescription so cruel as that which de-
prives citizen Of his bread because he votes
with the party of his choice; that rebels
who may thus prescribe a citizen whether
white or black, should instantly have their
property confssated, and should be depriv-
ed for life Of the right to vote and hoid Office.
This conduct of the Registers in Hyde, and
the recent burning Of the colored Church in
Trenton, Jones County, are the results Of the
teachings of the rebel press. .r

publican cause is rapidly gaining strength
among all classes. It is beginning to pc un &
derstood by the people that reconstruction
upon true Republican principles, is the only
safe ground to stand upon. For the prog
ress made in that section of the State, too
much credit cannot be awarded to Hon. A..
r.. Jones' editor Of the Asheville Pioneer. he
has iabored with a zeal and ability which
none can excel, and which should entitle
him to the thanks Of the Republicans Of the
whole country. We hope to have the pleas
ure of welcoming him 10 seat in the Con-
gress of the nation, when the old North
State shall again resume her true position in
the Union Great Republic.
The above compliment to Hon. A. q.
Jones is richly deserved. He is one of the
truest and worthiest of Ctr public men. We
entertain no doubt that be will he returned
