The Republicans Of North Carroll
ma boast that there is no State so re-
liably Republican as their own. 1t
has just been carried By about twenty
thousand majority-which, in North
ern States Of about the same size, as
Michigan and Wisconsin, would, it
must be confessed, be regarded as am
ply sufficient The Republicans also
have two-thirds Of the legislature and
six out of the seven congressman.
This is certainly beginning we'll for
the renewed career of the State. The
reports circulated before the election
about divisions in the Republican
party, appear to have been wholly I'M
founded. Gov. HOLDEN is the most
popular man in the State, ana has his
only enemies among the dnrepentant
rebels-which fact Is certainly not to
his discredit. Under the favorable
influences attending the reorganization
of the State, there would seem to be
no doubt Of the speedy revival of its
permanent prosperity. Another pc
culiarly gratifying fact is that the Re-
publican strength is mainly in the
Western part OF the State where there
are but very few negroes. 1t cannot
be truthfully asserted that the Re-
publieans owe their power in this
State to the negro element, for in the
eastern part of the State many Of the
negroes voted the Democratic ticket.

SENsIBLE.-The citizens of Nash
vile devoted Sunday afternoon 20
strewing flowers upon the graves OF
the Confederate dead, thereby show
ing their sympathy for the lost cause.
General BUFoRT was invited to make
a speech on the occasion, but declined,
on the ground that he could not eulo-
gize the Confederate dead until he
had proved that the war in
its inception, and in the manner
and spirit Of its execution, was wholly
and altogether right, and to do that
would be, he thinks. inappropriate in
the present state Of affairs. The
truth is, he will never have occasion
to declare the cause for which the
Confederate soldiers sacrificed their
lives right, until the restoration Of
the Democratic party to power. When
that event takes place. we will not be
surprised to see the widows and or
phans of the Confederate dead, and
the MANNED of. the Confederate living,
placed on the Pension Rolls In token
of the cause for which they fought.
But until that time, we think Gen.
BUFoRT acts sensible in declining to
make a speech eulogistic of the men
whQ lost their lives in an attempt to
break up their Government.
