The North Carolina Elections.

WILMINGTON, April 1s.-The campaign in
this State will be attended with unparall elled
excitement. Both parties are making desper-
ate efforts. Business will be almost suspend
ed during the election, which commences on
Tuesday. In tho cities and large towns The
negroes will vote the Radical ticket almost
e1. nausse, while IN the country districts con-
siderable numbers will remain away from the
polls. The vote will exceed that cast for the
convention question by at least $4,000, the
total registered voters being now nearly 2oO,-
600. Holden will probably run considerably
behind the vote for the constitution. The
feeling between the white and black races is
more bitter than at any previous period.

CHEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE RADICALS

CHEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE RADICALS
he New York Independent formally reads
Judge Chase out of the Radical party. 1t says !;
We now have reason to believe that Mr..
Chase would not accept the Republican noml-
nation for the Presidency, even If It we're ten
dered. We have equal reason to believe, also,
that he would accept the Democratic nomina,,
ton, if it could be rendered on platform not
inconsistent with his well-kuown views OF ne
gro suffrage.
Whereupon the New York Post (Republicanl
remarks
There must be something seriously wrong or
rotten in the Republican party, if it is true, as
the Independent so pointedly asserts. that
statesman OF as high principles and great
abilities as Mr.. Chase is, stands ready to aban-
don it, and refuses even 10 he Its Standard
bearer. The Independent fiugs Mr.. Chase
away with quite rova! air; but it will occur to
many, not Mr. Chase's special friends, that
party has need to be rich i'll statesmen which
can drum ou5 q man like the Cli:f Justice.

REMARKS.

REMARKS.
The above returns are unsatisfactory be-
cause incomplete. They indicate clearly, how
ever, that the State has gone Republican by q
large majority, and that the whites in few OF
the districts could stem the tide. 1t is gene
rally believed that Oconee and Pickens will
give Democratic majorities. Incomplete re-
turns from AbbevilIe indicate large Republican
maiorities. A Democratic majority of forty
seven at Fort Mills, York District, is reported.
