The Election,

We are enabled at last TO arrive at the
result of the election in this State. The
Governor has issued his proclamation or,
dering the Electoral College to meet in
Raleigh on Monday next, for the purpose
Of casting the vote of the State as required
by Law.
From an analysis of the result it appears
that W. S. PEARSON, of Burke, leads the
Grant ticket by three votes, and that Cap
tain j. J. DAVIS leads the Democratic
ticket by fifty votes. a. Fl. Gallo
way, negro, runs behind Mr.. PEARSON
six hundred and thirty nine votes. The
majority of the highest candidate on the
Radical ticket over the highest on the
Democratic ticket is twelve thousand two
hundred and six.
This is not what we expected, but still
inspires Us to hope for future success.
More than thirty thousand voters remained
from The polls. Although we gained seven
thousand upon the Spring vote, We have
as many in reserve as then. We are salts
fed that when the elections are deprived
of all outward infuencies we can carry
North Carolina.
It will apper that the only colored can
didate, Galloway, ran considerably behind
his ticket While we are not surprised at
this fact. we have the most supreme con-
tempt for those squirmish individuals who
can support the principles OF negro politi-
cal equality without being able to go the
negro himself. Galloway, negro though
he be, is not below others of the ticket in
character, in ability or in standing. The
man who, from policy or from fear, will
deliberately vote for the party which
favors negro equality, and cowardly and
secretly give thrust at the negro himself,
is beneath the contempt of all honorable
men.
The following is the vote by Districts
FIRST DiStrtct-Maj ority for L Cobb, Radical,
$3.50.
Second District-Msjo rity for D Heaton, Rad

Third District-Msjority for H Dockery.

REHABILITATION.
Fatal Accident.

We are grieved to learn that MIR. HENRY
GILES, of Baltimore, was killed near
Owensville, Sampson county, on Monday
night while en- route to Fayetteville from
Warsaw. He was riding with the driver,
and the horses taking fright, he was either
thrown from his seat or jumped, and his
feet becoming entangled in the reins, he
fell. The wheels passed over his head,
crushing it. Instant death ensued.
Mr.. GILES was native of Raleigh, and
was most fayorably known throughout the
State. He was connected with the hous.
of SLOAN & CALDWELL, and was travelling
in their behalf when he met with this fata
accident. AS business man he DOS
sessed a most enviable reputation. 81,

wonderful vigor. Nor are these two the

Nearly every department of art and letters

Prime Minister of England is o Hebrew of
pure blood. The great actress, Rachel,
belonged to the same stock. German art
and literature are covered with their
names-Mendelssoh and jacob among the
rest. In war alone the race is less couspic-
uous, though it has been said that Massena
and Soult-very respectable military char
acters-were of that race. Both for genius
and success in the world it is a blood that
compares favorably with any other extant

Agricultural Convention.

We publish 5o-day the report of the Com
mittee on I'm migration, submitted to the
recent Agricultural Convention held in
this city, and call attention thereto as con-
tanning information of importance upon
this subject. We regret that so few of our
citizens exhibit any interest in these meet
ings to advance tho agricultural interests
of this section The business of our city
is stifed, and every avenue of commerce
is choked on account of the depression of
our farmers, and yet men who are vitality
interested in their welfare, refuse to lend
the aid of their councils and presence to
help them in the important work of reoI-
ganizing their material affairs. If there is
any future for Wilmington; if prosperity
is again to bless US, it must come, or not
at all, through the success of our planters
and farmers. If our lawyers are to pros
per if our merchants are to grow rich if
our railroads are to declare dividends if
cur vessels are to do thriving business !;
if out city is to grow and real estate to in
crease in value if population is to seek
our towns and purchase our lands, all must
have their beginning in the prospero us
condition of our agriculturalists. Their
success must lay the solid foundation upon
which future wealth must be based.
We were disappointed, therefore, to see
what poor encouragement the professional
and commercial portions of our people gave
to our farmers during their recent meet
ing. Hardly one honored the meeting
with their presence. These enterprising
men notice these sights and feel them.
Their determination to succeed in their
efforts, though more difficult without this
aid, is still undaunted. They will, at
least, deserve success.
There are to be yet other meetings, and
we do sincerely hope that more interest
will be manifested. Do not let US discour-
age our farmers, if we are not disposed to
aid them. The labors they have before
them are great, but important as they are
onerous. Their success will result in the
welfare of the entire community. No
business, however humble, that will not be
benefited by them. It behooves us, there
fore. that we too should lend them help
ing hand in the Inauguration of their work.
It is our matters which they discuss it is
our material welfare which is involved. We
hope that hereafter our enterprising farm
ers will not receive the cold shoulder of
our business men in their laudable efforts
to promote the agricultural prosperity OF
this section.

that not one man in five. unobstructed by
any outside interference, would vote for
him yet, by military violence and by the

hordes of negro voters, these States have
been declared carried for him. Their votes,
together with those of Mississippi, Virgil

Grant was not elected. but by the power

Something was said last year about a

ridiculous. But not so-it is serious

A French engineer M. Chas. Boutet) has
succeeded in convincing so many persons
of the feasibility of the scheme that he has
raised company, and the first steps have
been taken. The proposed suspension
bridge is to be composed of an immense
network of iron cables, so arranged as to
be able to sustain any train, however heav'
lily laden. III. Boutet has recently exhibit

Office Hunters in Spain and the United
States.

Office Hunters in Spain and the United
Gen. Prim is tormented by the Spanish
office-hunters to an extent far beyond any
thing Gen. Grant will ever experience in
this country. Some of them threaten to
shoot Prim in case he don't accede to their
demands. They follow him to his domicil,
penetrate to his bed-chamber, pursue him
IN the streets, seize him by the coat tail,
and hardly allow him moment for sleep.
The poor man has tagged, worried look,
and after giving a promise to everybody,
he is ready to beg them " For Gods sake,
leave me at peace-let me breathe !"-
These detestable bores are called preten-
dientes, or petitioners for place, and com
prise persons in gorgeous uniforms or dress
coats, as we'll as others in seedy suits or
dirty rags. Prim, however, has one ad-
vantage with the ofice-hunters that could
be enjoyed by no American dispenser of
patronage-he can purchase their absence
for the time being, by the gift of a few
coins of silver or gold. If it were not for
this he would probably be driven insane
Perhaps, after all, the fact may contain g.
hint for Gen. Grant. There is doubtless a
fair proportion of the Office hunters that
could be got rid of by his Offering them a
few dollars at once, but in that case his
salary would certainly have to be raised.
