More Celestial VanIties.

We are informed that comet is visible
in the Northern sky from about twelve
o'clock until morning. We do not know this
of our own knowledge, as we have not look
ed. We are aware, however that c.met is
due about this time. It is said that this
comet will approach the earth more nearly
than has ever been done by any other. Fur
thermore, it is said that there is great
probability that this unwelcome stranger
will come into collision. In view of the fact
that nobody seems quite certain of the ma
terials which compose comets, the posi-
bility of its coming into collision with our
globeis, to say the least, "demnition un-
pleasant" Some astronomers say that COM
cts are composed of gas. If this hypothesis
is true we are not afraid, for we have stood
the Sentineps gas SO long that we know we
can stand any other kind. If, however, the
comet is made of solid material in state Of
combustion, we don't like the idea of its
running against the world. We wish that
eclipses, comets, and other celestial vanities,
would keep away and leave the world to it
SELF We do not like such familiarity.

More Atlantic Gables.

1t has been known for some time, says
the New York Herald, that grand tele-
graph enterprise was on foot-an enterprise
which was chiefly American in its charac-
ter, but which represented also considera-
BILE amount of British capital, and which
contemplated laying telegraph cable along
the coast of China. This is an initial step
towards bringing Asia more directly within
the range of the modern mercantile world
It is preliminary to grand Pacific cable
which shall connect the United States with
the great commercial centres of Japan, Chi
ma and India. We have been glad to learn
that Lord Clarendon has given instructions
to the effect that the British fleet in Chinese
waters shall cooperate with the Asiatic
squadron of the United States in laying and
protecting this cable. This action on the
part of the British government is all the
more praiseworthy that arrangements have
been made to lay cable between Suez and
Bombay to connect with that of Malta and
Alexandria. In such joint labors great ma
lions do themselves honor. Another item of
our latest news is to the effect that French
company hes offered to construct tele.
graph line from Lisbon and Gibraltar to
England and America on twenty years.
subsidy. We wish success to all such en-
terprises. We cannot have too many ca
bles. Whatever tends to annihilate distance
and to facilitate interchange of ideas is a
| gain to humanity.

The New York World claims the election
in Tennessee as a Democratic triumph /! The
World got its face slapped by the Virginia
papers for making the same claim concern
ing the election in that State. The World
is the great Democratic Pauper. 1t begs
for the"crumbs which fall from Brick"
Pomeroys table. The Democrats treat it
just as any other cur is treated and kick it
from before them. Therefore it is useless to
expect that journal, so degraded, can be
put to shame when its lies are exposed. But
it knows its claim is false The Richmond
Wing, the leading paper of Virginia, once
told the World to let it alone, that the
WALKER party wished nothing to do with
it. 1t declared that the WALKER men were
true Republicans. 1t now makes the same
declaration concerning the SENTER party in
Tennessee, who proclaimed the same princi-
plies as did the WALKER party. There are
sundry Democratic papers in this State who
have been disappearing the SENTER par
ty who will do well to attend to the words
of the Wing. The Wing says:

Amusing Mistake.

Paris received from a friend as a present tht
leg of young bear shot in the Pyrenue;
and which is said, when sailed, to be s
perior to the finest Yorkshire hams. Owing
however, to the heat of the weather, the leg
arrived in such state of non-preservatol
that the recipient ordered it to be thrown
into the river. This was done, and SHORTY
after the basket containing it was fshed lp
at st. Cloud with the address still legiblea

police Office, the doctor attached to that de-
partment declared it to be the right tles Of

North Carolina Politics.

We have been much pleased at the progress
which liberal sentiments is making in our sister
State of North Carolina since the Virginia and
Tennessee elections. So far as we can judge
from the altered tone of the press on both sides
1t seems to be race between the Radical and
Democratic parties (f that is the classification
which shall get upon the platform first. The
Raleigh Standard, (Holden's paper) approved OF
walkers election and supported Senter, and,
wonderful to relate took open ground against
prescription and lately the Tarooro' Southern
er, Wilmington Journal and Star, backed by the
Weldon News and Henderson Index, have come
out in favor ofuniversal suffrage and universal am
nesty-equality of civil rights for all citizens The
people of North Carolina will find that Conser-
vative Republicanism at the South is the sacrifice
of old prejudices on the altar of rational union
and progress. 1t is in vain for them to fight
proscriptive Radicalsm while they indulge in
proscriptive negroism. That won't do, with the
fifteenth amendment almost adopted and about
to become the settled policy of the country.
Concede to the negro all the rights which Con-
gress has conferred upon him, and you will kill
the Radical party with surteit. This sword will
cut all the hard knots with which Radicalism
would tie up the south.-NoJolk Day Book
1t is evident that the Day Book does not
understand North Carolina politics, nor yet
their relation to the politics of its own
State.
There is no race in which Republican pa
pers-however it may be with Radical and
Democratic papers-try to get upon any
disputed ground. The Republican papers
of North Carolina stand now where they
have stood for two long years-upon the
platform of universal suffrage and general
amnesty.
Two years ago there was not single
Democratic paper in North Carolina which
did not oppose universal suffrage. Therefore
it is plain that those papers which now
claim to be in favor of universal suffrage are
following the lead of the STANDARD, and
are coming to us.
The Day Books advice is good. We will
kill radicalism in this State be 1t Of phich side
1T may. Then the Day Book can rejoice with
us and enter into our excessive joy. The
"sword" which is ito cut all the hard
knots' is being sharpened, and will soon do
its duty.

Some one of the many editors of the Senti
mel is IN doubt as to General GRANTS policy.
He declares himself to be anxious to sup
port the policy of General GRANT, and af-
fects to be grieved because he cannot be
given some sign by which to guide his
course. He is probably one of that evil
generation, mentioned in the Bible, who seek
after signs, and to whom the Bible further
adds no sign shall be given save the sign of
the prophet JONAH. The whale was JoNAH's
sign. Therefore, we think the Democracy
has already got its sign, for it is the worst
aohaled party ever known.
The Sentinel also asks US few little ques-
tions, which we are the more ready to an
swer on account of the unusually good hu-
mored manner in which they are put.
1. We think it will "do" to stick to SEN
TET as long as he and his party are true to
the professions made by them during the
campaign. They professed their loyalty to
the Government, and their devotion to the
principles of universal suffrage and general
amnesty. Those who are sincere in their
maintenance of these principles it will do
to stick to.
2. We are for the Republican party in Mis-
sissippi, and have nothing to do with Radi-
Gals or Liberals. No more liberal principles
can be found than those advocated by the
Republican party. 1t long ago proclaim
ed Universal Suffrage and General Amnesty,
and no party has advanced or can advance
more liberal platform. Any man who sup
ports this, the Republican platform. and
whose loyalty is proven, we are ready and
willing to support, with only one reservation
that has party, and tile officers chosen By has
party, shall be uneompromisingly loyal to the
gouernment. We can and will support no
man who IS an enemy to the government.
Therefore we prefer to see the parties in
Mississippi show their hands before we de-
clare for any candidate. Otherwise we
might do as the Sentinel and other Demo
cratic papers did after the Virginia election
-hurrah for the wrong man! 1t was ex-
tremely notifying to the Democratic
papers, after hurrahing themselves hoarse
for the election of WALKER, to be told by
the WALKER papers to shut up, and that
the election of WALKER was a Republican
victory. When we see who is supported by
the best and most loyal men in Mississippi
we will declare who we will support. a
8. Wehave before announced that we were
in favor of the removal of the disabilities of
every man who wished it. We have not adj
vocated the passage of an act removing dis
abilities because Congress has declared its
willingness to remove the disabilities of any
man who asks it to do so. Therefore such
a act is not necessary. We have, however,
no objections to the passage of such an act, the
less so, as it would enfranchise thousands of
white Republican. Therefore we think it is
according to the policy" to advocate the
removal of disabilities.
Is the Sentinel satisfied
