North Carolina Business Directory.

This valuable work is now complete, and
Mr.. BRANsoN, who is in our city, has
presented us with copy. It is issued
from the press of Messrs NICHOLS, Cor
MAN & NEArHERY, of Raleigh. We doubt
if any State in the Union has published a
moro correct or fuller list of the statistics
of each county than this. Each copy has
a good map of the State, with parts of Vir-
ginia and South Carolina, with all the
counties and principal towns, villages,
rivers, &C., and with the localities of the
coal, iron. gold and copper mines desig-
mated. The population, names of the prin-
cipal officers, merchants. physicians, law
yers, ministers, colleges, schools, factories,
mines, &C., of each county are given Be-
sides this, large amount of valuable sta
tistical information is furnished.
The work ought to be in the hands of
every man of business in the State. Every
merchant of Boston, New York. Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Richmond, Petersburg
and Norfolk, ought to lave copy. It is
published at the low price of So. The
first edition is Il small one, only 1900
but Messrs. BRANsoN & JONES have made
arrangements to issue an improved and
larger edition, if the demand should call
for it, in the next two months. The in
trinsio value of the book is so great that
we think an edition of 5000 should be
called for.

Grand Total. .2,O33 LIP

Majority for Constitution 49,. SCI
The vote for candidates will not differ
materially from that on the Constitution.
The registered strength of the city is 8, :
1886, with black majority of $780, BY the
above exhibit only 3,2O5 votes were cast
l3l short of the number registered This
number is exactly that which the vote
against the Constitution falls short of the
registered white vote, the vote for the Con-
stitution being precisely the same as the
registered black strength. Many of these
votes were polled by virtue of certificates
from other precincts, and upon affidavit
made that the voter had registered else
where, those exhibiting certificates and
making affidavit being principally negroes
It will be noticed that the vote is 81 in ex-
cess of the total official daily returns made
by the Inspectors, which We are told is
owing to the fact that more tickets were
found in the boxes when opened than the
Inspectors had names upon their lists.
On the question of a Convention during
the election in November last the vote
stood as follows: For Convention, 1900 ;
against, 559-total, 2,O5S.

Decision in q Fire Insurance Case.

In Kings county New York; Circuit
Court, few days ago, an action was brought
by George P. Steinbach against the
Lafayette Fire Insurance Company of New
York, for damages amounting to 81, 500
Plaintiff is iobber of fancy goods in Bal
timore, and was insured in the company to
the above amount. The store was, some
time ago. destroyed by fire, and defendants
refused to pay the insurance, on the ground
that the keeping Of fireworks on the premi-
ses was violation of the policy. They ad-
naitted that the policy allowed plaintiff to
sell fire-crackers, but claimed that it did not
give him the privilege of keeping any other
kind of fireworks in the building. A YER
dict for the full amount claimed was rem
dered in favor of the plaintiff. This deci-
sion involves similar claim against an
other New York insurance company of the
same amount, making $1,000 in all, which
Mr. Steinbach RECEIVERS.

situation, is vainly calling upon their Sens-
tors to stop--at the ballot-box an aroused
people demand that this strife should
cease, but to no purpose. Revolutions
never go backwards" and it looks as if the
present one must progress until checked
by the strong arm of power. In the mean
time every interest must suffer-social order
must be sturbed-government securities
must drag, and the advancement and hap
piness of the whole country must be re-
tarded in order that disreputable politi-
clans may stay the falling fortunes of a
rotten and corrupt party by the conviction
and removal of the Chief Executive officer
of the Government.

The Election.

| The returns come in slowly, and we are
unable as yet to base any definite opinion
as to the result. Before we go to press we
hope the telegraph will bring us further
advices. The Western counties which con-
tain the large white maiorities, ard when
must decide the contest, are beyond the
reach of telegraphs, and most of them be-
yond the lines of railroad. 1t Will there
fore require day or two before we near
from the counties lying West OF burke.
We have great confidence in the people OF
our mountain counties, and cannot believe
that thew have voted to place their Eastern
friends and brothers under the political
control of negroes and disreputable whites.
So far as the returns have come to hand
we have nothing to fear and much to hope
for. The Convention was called by ma
iority of 6O,O44 Consequently it would
require an average gain of CTS to the
county to overcome it. In the twenty
counties heard from, this Friday at
ternoon, there has been a gain Of
10000 votes, being thousand to each
county. A similar result in the other
counties would give the State to the Con
servatives by $4,000. We can hardly hope
to keep up this average, as many OF the
counties are small. In the twenty counties
heard from, which were carried for Con-
vention last fall by 1876, go now against
the Constitution by 1854.
While waiting patiently for the result we
have much to encourage US. We have
never seen so much feeling and interest in
any community as was exhibited by our
people during yesterday. No people ever
had more at stake, for if this infamous
Constitution is fastened upon US, and we
are not relieved by the Conservatives and
Democrats of the North, there is indeed
dark future for US.

And to the manner born,"

and those who are identified by long asso-
citation and interest, the future can only
tell. Surely, proud and sensitive people
have never in the history of the world had
more to submit to, and done so with more
endurance and forbearance, than have the
people of the Southern States. They
fought like bravest men, and endured suf-
feriag and defeat with heroism worthy
of the fame of their ancestors-worthy of
the admiration of all true men. They have
atoned for every error of which a generous
conqueror could have believed them guilty,
without placing them under the political
vassalage of negroes and yankee masters.
God grant that our sufferings will so ap.
peal to their nobleness, that they will come
to our relief and save us from impending
destruction.

BrUnSWfCk,

This glorious little county has done hel
full duty. With a small registered majority
of blacks it has given about twenty Conser
vative majority. The result is highly com.
plimentary to her citizens and reflects the
greatest credit upon Col. TAYLOR and Ma.
ALLEN. and the other candidates of the
party in that county.

Northern Disloyalty.

What disloyal set are the American
people. From every quarter comes Dem
ocratic and Conservative gains. Every
where goes up the fact that the negro shall
not vote Congressional usurpation may
fasten it upon the South for season, but
the recent demands of Ohio, Minnesota,
Kansas and Michigan, will yet be needed
and obeyed. They have most emphatical-
~ declared that the negroes of the United
States SHALL NOT VOTE. 1t is the merest
folly to say that such marked manifesto
tions of their disapproval of the right Of
the negro to vote could have been called
into existence by the claims of the handful
of educated, thrifty and well-todo negroes
who inhabit those States. No, these de-
clarations go farther. They say that
White Suffrage shall be the ruling princi-
pie of our government. Ohio, which de-
clares that the negroes within her borders
shall not vote, also declares that North
Carolina negroes shall not elect men to
Congress to legislate for that State. Mi
chigan, radical Michigan, undisturbed by
her twelve or fifteen hundred negroes, de-
1nands that the blacks of the South shall
not hold q balance of power in the Presi-
Dental election.
Surely, if Congress be the judge, these
people are growing terribly disloyal, and
we should not be surprised, should Ben
Wade get to be President pro tenlpore, if
these States were forced to accept it at
the point of the bayonet. II Congress
wants to reconstruct theserefractory States
and give them loyal Constitutions, we can
send them Constitution makers who have
proved their fidelity to the behests of Con-
gross, and their ability to deplete the State
Treasury. We can spare them with advan-
tage-social, moral and political. Let us
where.
Chicago
Even Radical Chicago ''grows circum-
spect." The telegraph brings US the intel
igence that this great city has gone nearly
thousand Democratic. This is change
of quite three thousand votes. Soon Rad
icalism will have no abiding place, save 6
temporary shelter under the bayonets which
Congressional tyranny has placed over the
South. God grant that the day will soor
come when the noble white men of the
North will demand the withdrawal of these
costly agents of Radicalism, and this coun
try will again in reality become govern
ment of the people.
Chicago has demanded it, and the State
of Illinois will go security for it's grea
commercial centre. The revolution is in
deed advancing and will soon enlist the
whole country under the white mans bar

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
FROM WASHINGTON,


Collector Smythe and Foreign Missions
The Attorney-Generalsh Scho-
field.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-Collector
Smythe, of New York, has been seeking
the mission to England. He wants the
President to withdraw from the Senate the
nomination of Gen. Mcclellan. The in
dications being unfavorable, the Executive
failing to respond to that suggestion, Mr..
Smythe now seeks to have control of the
nomination to Austria, and therefore urges
the withdrawal of the nomination of Hon.
S. S. Cox. There is no reason to believe
that Mr.. Smythe will succeed in either of
these projects, as it does not appear that
he is by any means as influential with the
administration as common report would
lead the public to suppose.
The President has been importuned re.
Gently to make nomination of Attorney
General, vice Stanbery, resigned. The
party seeking the position is a lawyer from
the West, who represents that the Execu-
tive has promised to make the nomination,
but upon inquiry in the proper direction it
is learned that the President has not enter
tanned the idea of making such selection
for his Cabinet.
