built on the American princple--L e., without any
coxswain's thwart, and steered by means OF strings
or wires running from the rudder and attached TO
the feet OF one OF the oarsmen The performance OF

Chnse the Only Man.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
After conversng with many people and delegates
TO the Democratic National Convention I have ar
rived at the conclusion that Mr.. Chase IL the only
candidnte thai can be elected over General Grant.
Many Of the delegates nom the Southern Suites
came here for Chase, believing that he was the
strongest man. After little examination OF the
field OF operations they drifting OF to Pendle
ton who Is their first choice. Nearly every delegate
i have conversed with from New York and some
other states Acknowledges Chase to be the strongest
man provided he could be nominated but they end
the matter by the allegation he cannot he nominal
ted Let me add that the bulk OF the younger men are
for Chase and victory. Second the delegates OF the
South would take him had they found the North more
united for Chase. Briefly, let 1t be said that
Mr.. Chase can carry all the democrats and would
draw largely from the republican party. ! have
found In the last month q considerable element Of
this party ready 10 support Chase, II he Is nominal

that II is Chase or Grant. No other man can draw
any vote from the republicans The election would
be strictly partisan. The military states would 20
for Grant, and enough OF the Northern to give him
the election. There Is not a democrat that we can
safely count on carrying the three great Central
states OF Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York; and
yet know that Chase can carry all three by over
$4,000. l am New York democrat but I am for
success with Chief Justice Chase rather than for
defeat with democrat par excellence.

The Good Of the Country Demands IN.
Election OF Chase.
BALTIMORE June "a 1899

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The highest political principle is that which pure
patriotism dictates for the good OF a common
country in the moment Of its peril and AZ this mo-
ment is now upon us and our country ask what is
to he DONE or what does patriotism demand Of ms at
this time for the preservation OF our republican in
stitutionsf
The answer surely must be the restoration OF our
Union of states and the equal rights thereof under
O common constitution.
Now, then what are we to do IN order TO secure
this boom say u can only be done by defeating
Grant; that the will Of the people as expressed by
the Congress s paramount TO all constitutions and
laws; and, on the other hand, by electing consti-
tuition loving man and state rights man to the
Presidency, who will preserve 20 MS the form OF
government which our fathers bequeathed.
The question now arises, how IL this 10 be donef
NY answer is this select for your candidate the
man whom Providence has pointed out, the man
whom no democrat would otherwise have
thought OF, and who can beat Grant even In
the Southern states, Notwithstanding those states

Circulation.

By way of showing its virtuous detesta-
tion. of tho. habit of blowing ones own
trumpet weakness with which it has
more than once upbraided THE NEws-our
modest neighbor, The Courier, in its last
issue, gives gentle toot upon its own horn,
and announces, with a flourish that we
might envy but ceuld never hope to excel,
that its order-book exhibited, for the month
of. October, an accession of one hundred
and thirty six new subscribers. Of truth,
there is no better test of the value of q
newspaper to the advertiser than its circu-
lation; and the gratifying exhibit of our
venerable contemporary has suggested q
glance at our own order-book. We find
that the circulation of TIE DAILY NEWS on
yesterday, the 2Sd of November, exceeded
it's circulation on the 25d of October by
lust four hundred and forty-seven copTes,
or more than three times the increase claim
ed by TIE Courier And this, it must be
remembered, is exclusive of the growth in
the circulation of our Tri-weekly issue,
while the figures given by The Courier in
clude, we presume, new subscribers to its
tri-weekly as we'll as daily edition. Adver-
tisers will draw their own conclusions.

The National Board of Trado.

The annual meeting ofthe National Board
of Trade of the United States will be held
in Hopkins Hall, in the City Of Cincinnati,
on Wednesday, the second of December, and
following days. This will be the third gen
eral meeting of the merchants of the coun-
try during the present year. One was held
in Boston in February, when it was deter
mined to organize National Board; and
another met in Philadelphia in June, when
delegates from the chartered commercial
bodies in the several cities of the Union
brought this institution into existence, and
adopted an elaborate plan for its manage
ment and operations. The meeting now to
be held will be the regular annual meeting
which for the future, except in special
emergency, will be the only occasion of the
kind during the year. The time for this
meeting has been made nearly concurrent
with the assembling of Congress, so that
the national legislators will have the benefit
of the good judgment and practical expert
ence of the representative business men of
the country upon the financial and COM
mercial measures which they will be called
upon to consider.
The official programme for the approach
ing session of the National Board comprises
several very interesting questions, among
which are the speedy resumption of specie
payments, suggested by the st. Louis Board
of Trade; the restoration of the shipping
interest, by the New York Produce Ex-
change and the Boston Board Of Trade; tho
Pacific Railroad system, by the st. Louis
and Louisville Boards of Trade; and the
modification of internationa maritime law,
by the Baltimore Board of Trade. Tie
proposition to make Chicago, Cincinnati
and St. Louis ports of entry will doubtless
come up for discussion, and undoubtedly
the subject of transportation in all It's bear
ings will be carefully considered. In con-
nection with this subject of transportation,
it is hoped that the Blue Ridge Railroad
scheme will be brought before the Board,
and that the opportunity will be taken of
making widely kOwn the advantages and
resources of Charleston as the port of ship
ment for the produce of the West.
The delegates from the Charleston Board
of Trade will be, we presume, those ap-
pointed prior 10 the meeting held in Phila-
delphia, viz: Colonel W. L. Trenholm, the
President of the Board, and Henry Cobia,

A Practical President.

Before the Presidential election we were
not disposed to villify General Grant, be-
cause his whole career had madeit appa-
rent that he possessed in high degree the
genius of common sense; and like convic-
ton deters US now from going to the e1-
.trems of hailing the President elect as
Democratic demigod, or as Republican
whose wink and nod will elevate the coun-
try to height of prosperity heretofore un-
known in its history. In plain words, we
believe General Grant to be sensible and
practical, though, perhaps, selfish man,
who will give the same common sense atten-
ton to the affairs Of the nation which he
gave to his private business when "the re-
"bellion" was afar off and the White House
seemed to him as distant as the houris of
the Mohammedan paradise.
No better evidence can be had of the COM
mon sense of General Grant than his con-
duct during and after the war. The great
military genius of Mcclellan failed to battle
the plans of the Confederate Commander
in-cbief; the anaconda was unable to crush
the tattered armies of the South. Now
victory flushed the Northern heart with
ioy; now the magnetic wires were musical
with glorious .tidings for the South. And
OF the last when Gettysburg had been fought
and lost, the Confederate forces still held
together and the end was not yet nigh.
But Grant, with his sturdy practical sense,
soon changed the aspect OF the situation.
Conducting war, not as sentiment or ro-
nance, but upon sound business principles,
he calculated the strength Of the South and
the strength of the North, and saw clearly
enough that the population at his command
would permit him 10 spend human life at o
rate which, Notwithstanding the disparity
of loss, must soon drive his enemy to bank
ruptcy. This was not romantic or chival-
ric; it was not the elaborate strategy of the
scientific soldier. But it vas cheapest in
the .Bd; and when the pounding which be-
gan ct the Wilderness ended at Appomattox,
the loss of men and treasure was far less
than it would have been if the war had
dragged its length along another bloody
year, according TO the laws and traditions
of technical military strategy.
When the Confederate forces lail down
their arms, Grant again showed his practi-
cal common sense by according generous
terms to his defeated adversary; and from
that time, whatever his motives. he has
made himself remarkable as the one promi-
nent man in the Union who knew how to
hold his tongue.

AT tho last council Of the Pope's Ministers,
the question Of reduction OF the Pontlncai
army was discussed. Cardinal Anto rep
resented this measure as necessity, the stop
page of the annual subsidy from Spain having
crippled the Papal exchequer, and rendered 1t
unable to support the present force. General
Kanzler, on the other hand, maintained that q
reduction of the army would not only produce
O bad effect on the Catholic world, but woulo
operate as an encouragement to the revolution
lists. He further contended that it would Dc
impossible to repel the volunteers who were
flocking from all parts to the Pcntlhcal s'aliu-
ard. A warm argument was going on Det"een
tbe General and Cardinal Antonelli, when the
Pope suddenly exclaimed: Enough about SOL
diers! we have too many OF them. Inis iS
understood to have settled the question.
. According to the message OF Govern
Holden. lust sent to the Legislature, the debt
of North Carolina, on October 1st, 1868, was
SIG 2OS 945, inclusive of bonds issued for inter-
nal improvements, am ounting to nearly ,Coo,-
600. The amount Of interest maturing upon
October 1st was s112, ,104, which has been palo
in cash. The interest maturing during the
present fiscal year, ending September 80, lobS,
will amount to s1,OS2,596. The expenses OF
the State government during the present fiscal
year are estimated at ss75, ,2SO, which, added
to the Interest falling due, will leave 81, 4O7,S26
to be provided for. To meet this the treasu-
rer will have s5O,O34 81 on hand, leaving the
remainder to be raised by taxation. Inc STOCKS
and bonds Eeld by the State amount to ,24l,-
100. The Governor recommends that meas
ures be taken to insure the payment OF the In
terest due the State from these stocks and
bonds. The value of the property in the State
is estimated at $3.50, 100000, upon which an oa
udlorena tax of one per cent. would ralse
s25O0, 1000. This, he suggests, alone would pay
the interest, which should be met promptly.
The Governor adv Jcates very strongly the COM
pletion of the railroads to which the State mas
extended aid, and recommends a liberal en-
couragement of immigration anu OF the COM
mon schools and of the education OF the peo-
ple. He advises the abolition OF the present
stay laws, and urges an Immediate organiza-
ton Of the militia.

Now it is hardly to be believed that GEN
eral Grant, as President Of the United
States, will be different from what he was
as q leather dealer at Galena, as the Gene
ral.in. chief of the Federal armies, or as
the successful candidate for the highest
civil Office in America. The same quiet sa-
eacity which enabled him to choose the best
men for the work to be done in the army
should cause him to choose the best men IN
arranging his Cabinet and nominating pub
lie officers; and the conservative influences
Of power and grati6ed ambition, together
with the common sense which moved MIN
on. many occasions to assume any per-
sonal responsibility rather than leopard
ize the accomplishment of his objective pur-
poses, should prevent him from becoming
the tool or slave of any political party.
And in directing our internal policy
during the coming iour.years, thoughtful
earnest, practical President, will be of far
more value to the country than mere stu
dent, diplomatist or politician. The ques-
tions 18th which we mainly have to deal, fli.d
upon which depend the destinies OF the he
public, are essentially practical questions
They relate to our finances, to our COM
merce, to our internal improvements, to the
relief of North and South from the crush
ing burdens of the war. The sword with
which to cut these knots is-oommon sense,
the one great quality which General Grant
is understood 20 possess. This should point
out to him the necessity of aiding the South
by relieving her citizens of Federal politi-
cal disabilities, by encouraging the build
ing of railroads and canals, and by con-
demning any legislation which would check
or stiAe her trade. It should teach him the
necessity of knitting anew the ties Of friend
ship and interest between the South and
the North, and will, we trust, dispose him
to give the Southern States all the assis-
tance and succor-in a practical way
which his position will place at his COM
mand. Therefore is it that we are indis-
posed to 60 into ecstacies of joy, or to revel
in the dolors of defeat. We fear nothing,
and have no rash hopes, yet we are willing
to believe that plain, practical business
President will be highly advantageous to
the South, and of vast substantial benefit
to the whole United States.
