with Candy and Farragut about to invest
Mobile; with Wilson ready with the best
cavalry command in the world, to strike
your internal lines of communication
whether it is probable the result is far dis
tant; and whether such terms can be OBJ
tanned, when your armies are made power
less, as will be freely granted now."
The Confederacy could even then have
obtained terms which would have settled for
all time questions of reconstruction, and
saved the waste of life and of property, and
the humiliation of being conquered people,
But no, the proposition was rejected. The
last chance to "save," not only honor, but
everything else, was lost, and the edict went
forth to end the war by one combined move
ment, and the signal gun in front of Peters
burg was answered by the cheers of half a
million of men in arms and responsive can
non along the whole Confederate line. And
in campaign so short, in a struggle so ter
rible that it now seems more like dream
than reality, the Confederate flag went to the
dust forever-the cause was lost, the people
were conquered, and left TO their fate by the
same leaders who few short weeks before,
would not exchange war forpeace, and whose
last official act was to assure the people from
Danville that all was WELL" and they were
blessings in disguise, and with the ink still
undried upon that last act of craftsmanship,
the head of brave but deluded people
sought personal safety in flight The army
had surrendered and been paroled; the lea
ders were fugitives; the people, without an
army or civil leaders, were struck dumb by
the sudden crash; the great moral drama
"save your honor" was played out; and
thousand veteran regiments bearing flag
which through four great wars had foated
in triumph, filed down Pennsylvania Avenue,
passed their Capitol to their homes. Active
hostilities with arms were at an end.
But hostility of another character was
about to commence, and tomorrow we will
show that the leaders who failed in the re-
bellion, inaugurated by the shot at the 'Star
of the West" have also failed in the rebel
lion inaugurated by their dupe Andrew john
son.

The Republicans of North Carolina, while
rejoicing over the splendid triumphs achiev-
cd in Vermont and Maine and Pennsylvania
and Ohio and Indiana, should hear in these
triumphs the summons to more active effort
on their part These brilliant victories did
not come by accident, but our friends in
these great States rallied for the sake Of the
country, as if everything were depending up
on them, and with this enlargement of spirit,
and with vigorous blows for truth and right
came the noble and benificent proportions Of
their victory.
Republicans of North Carolina, go to
work in every county and neighborhood rs
though the eyes ofthe whole country were
concentrated upon you. Labor for local sue
cess. The cause will then take care of itself,
for the general result in the State and in the
nation will be the aggregate of local success
es. Let us at once ascertain our real strength,
and bring out every voter on the 3rd OF No
vember. Let us redeem the good old North
State from all taint of disloyalty to the Gov
ernment of our fathers. Let us, despite the
jeers and SCOTS of our enemies, 60 forward in
the noble cause of Liberty, Union, Justice
and Equality before the law. Let every
friend of good government rally to the sup
port of Grant and Colfax. Republicans Of
North Carolina, let us complete our organi-
zation and work-let there BE NO END OF

We take pleasure in publishing this morn
ing the Card of Hon. John R. French, declin-
ing to be a candidate for Congress in the
First District in opposition to the regular
nominee, c. L. Cobb, Esq.
This action of Mr.. French destroys all of
Judge Barnes hopes for an election, and
ensures to the people of the First District
Republican member of the 41st Congress.
Mr. French las thus shown that he re-
CARDS the success of the Republican party
above any selfish considerations. and by de-
clining has still more endeared himself to
his friends. We trust he may soon be re-
stored to his wontcd health.

Now, go home, Democratic orators from
the North; and you, John Quincy Adams,
renegade son of u long line of noble patriots
and philanthropists, lead the crowd. Tho
South has had enough of you. You have
seated the Radicals firmly in power; you
have put the President himself in political
coventry, and driven home the last nail in
the coffin of the 'lost cause" Go home, sirs;
and for once be true to something or somc-
body-either to your country, your princi-
pies, your party, your allies or yourselves,
before you come again.
To the Republicans of North Carolina.
FELLOW CITIZENS We bring you ''tid-
ing of great JOY" The sat States of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nebraska have
just voted for members of Congress and State
officers, and the Republicans, after most
animated contest, have achieved glorious
victory.
We have carried Indiana by seven thou
sand Pennsylvania by fifteen thousand, Ohio
by twenty thousand and Nebraska by two
thousand.
Grant heads the column, and his march is
onward to victory as in times past, when he
conquered for the nation at Shiloh, Vicks-
burg and Appomattox. On his banner is
inscribed those beautiful words, "Let us
have peace !"-and millions of his country
men are rallying around it.
This result in these States secures us the
victory in November, if we are only true to
ourselves
Our opponents are beaten at the North,
and here in the South they are dispirited
and depressed. One gallant and united
charge along the whole line on the Sd day of
next month, and the day will be ours. Tho
fruits of this victory will be peace, liberty
and justice to ala cessation of bitter party
strife-a settled condition of affairs which
will insure industry its reward, and lead to
general prosperity and happiness among the
whole people.
Bear in mind, fellow-citizens, the impor-
tance of the election of the third of next
month. We must carry this State for Grant
and Colfax, and elect all our members Of
Congress We can do this by thirty thou
sand majority.
Impress upon the people the necessity OF
| registering their names as voters. Let it be
known also that there is but one day for vo-
ting. Let every Republican resolve that he
will devote all his spare time to this work
up to the evening of the election. And on
the day of the election, let every Republican
be at the polls early in the morning, with his
vote ready to cast, and after he casts it lei
him work with Others all day for the cause
This is the way our friends won the day
in the States mentioned, and We can do IL
here by similar efforts. ~
Fellow citizens, the election is near at
hand. Let us improve the time Let every
man do his duty; and after the third Of No
vember the Republicans of North Carolina
will swell the chorus with millions of others
for GRANT, and COLFAX, LIBERTY, and
UNION.

A one horse Rebel-Democratic country
sheet, edited by a STRIPPING mourner for the

tion's bravest defenders. Col. Cook bears
honorable scars from wounds received while
fighting beneath the old stars and stripes,
defending it against the traitorous assaults of
these same men who now affect to sneer at
those whose patriotic devotion whipped the
rebels and saved the Union. He is now a
quiet citizen, member of the State Senate,
and is using all his influence to sustain order
and good government in the State, and he
can well afford to pass by in silence and
contempt the personal attacks of those whose
hatred he has incurred by charges upon the

The Railroad Wrangle.

Public attention has often been directed,
in these columns, to the unfair and ilhberal
spirit in which the Charlotte and South
Carolina Railroad has been managed of late
with reference to the material interests Of
Charleston. Aproject is now on foot, which
if carried into effect, will punish, at once
efectually and appropriately, those who
have chosen to assume the attitude of foes
to our city's prosperity. We refer to the
movement now in progress for the construc-
tipn of an air line route from Atlanta, Ca,
Jhelby, N. c. The proposed line is to
be formed by combination of the Georgia
and South Carolina Air Line Railroad, con-
Meeting Atlanta with Anderson, S. c., tho
Greenville and Columbia Railroad, connect
ing Anderson with Greenville, and the
Shelby and Broad River Railroad, connect
ing Greenville with Shelby, N. C. Such a
combination would give q much more direct
route between Washington and New Orleans
than any now existing. The saving be-
tween the two points named would not be
less than one hundred miles of travel, as q
glance at the map will show, and the COM
petition thus established cannot fail to have
a paralyzing influence upon the business,
both in freight and travel, Of the Columbia
and Hamburg, and Charlotte and South
Carolina Railroads. fitting retribution,

Petticoat Rule in England.

The motley eloquence of GEORGE FRAN
CTS TRAIN, Lucy STONE, and ELIZABETH
CADY STANTON has not yet convinced free
and enlightened America that women should
be permitted to vote, or that it is high time
for petticoat rule to begin. Suffrage for
the negro had popular ring, and made
good party cry. Sticks and stones, fires
and swords, for the South, met the general
wish, and strengthened rising party. But
the negro is politically defunct, the instincts
of race are again asserting themselves, and
even the strongest friends of universal bal
lottiug hesitate to give the protection of
vote to the unprotected female. America
made one leap in the dark, and does not
care to make another; JOHN BULL must lead
the way and test the good or evil of giving
the suffrage to women.
Already in England the shout is raised,
that the cause of womanhood has achieved
brilliant victory. The narrow end of the
wedge has entered, and needs only to be
driven home. 1t is the first step that costs,
and the first step is taken.
A woman named LIBBY MAXWELL, living
in Manchester, England, being o rate-payer;
was put by mistake on the voting register.
The name, once on the register, it tcould not
bo stricken off, nor could LIBBY be pre-
vented from voting. The lady was resolved
to strike the blow for freedom; and, attend
ed by the Presidentess and remberesses of
the Female Suffrage Society and surrounded
BY guard of honor, she went to the polls
and, amid abundant chaff and cheers, cast
her vote for member of Parliament.
This petticoat precedent is looked upon
by the English papers as one of immense
Importance. If one woman Gun vote, why
not thousand or hundred thousand.
And as women are in clear majority in
England, there may come time when
female sovereign may have female Par
lament and the stords of creation" as gov
erning powers, be altogether dispensed with.
Reform for Ireland, Reform for Scotland
and Reform for England, with womanhood
suffrage for all three, are now upon the car
pet; and, although the British Lion is slow of
movement at the outset, he may, when the
inertia is overcome, be stirred to make
leap that will carry him far beyond the
temporary resting place Of his trans-Atlan-
tic cousins. This may be, and if so-"Peace
to his ashes"
