A SlanderOus ATTACK.

The Sentinel of yesterday contained an
article which attacked Gov. HOLDEN in
terms which utterly transcended the limits of
newspaper warfare-eyen in North Caro-
lima. We do not believe that there is
another paper in the State which would de-
grade its columns by such an exhibition of
foul.mouthed spite.
The article was of such detestable nature
as to disgust the Sentinsrs own friends, and
we heard it condemned in most unmeasured
terms by several Democrats.
We do not propose to so lower the tone
of the STANDARD as to reply to the article Of
the Sentinel in its own strain, for to do 50
would be to descend to the level of the
Sentinel. The best answer to the Sentinel is
its own article. No commentary could add
force to the condemnation which it must re-
ceive from every right-minded man, even of
its own party.
Whether the Sentinel publishes these
articles to create party capital, or to crafty
personal spite, or convulsively like the last
bite of dying mad-dog, we do not know
But these palpably slanderous articles always
not only fail to injure their object, but re-
coil upon him who makes them. Thus the
article of the Sentinel will but injure itself
in the estimation of all respectable men.

The North Carolina Railroad Leased,

By action of the Board of Directors the
North Carolina Railroad has been leased to
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Company
for a term of twenty years. The Raleigh &
CASTOR Road Is to pay as an annual comper-
sation, six per cent on the capital stock of
the North Carolina Railroad Company. This
will make annual payment of $24O,OO0,
which is very much larger sum than the
road has ever been able to earn. The Raleigh
& Castor Road binds itself to keep in first
class order the road and rolling stock of the
North Carolina Railroad. The effect of this
transaction has been to already double the
price of the stock of the North Carolina
Company, which is now valued at over fifty
dollars per share. This action of the Direc-
tors will, of course, be submitted to meet
ing of the Stockholders.
This disposition of the road clearly proves
the falsity of the charges and prognostica-
tions of the Sentinel that the road was to be
sold to Northern capitalists. Thus, one by
one, the Sentiners prophecies turn out to
| contain no truth, 5s. ~ -.t-

The Reserved Rights of the Wells Men.

We cannot but condemn the action of the
WELLS Republicans in making the declar-
alton that they reserved to themselves the
"right at any time to secede from the pres
ent legislature, and organize by themselves
legal and loyal Legislature" These gen
tlemen have no such right, neither could
they be allowed to do as they threaten.
Such body would not be recognized by
the Government as legal organization, and
the WELLS men should know it.
Neither has any particular faction of the
legislative body the right to constitute itself
the Judge of the qualifications of the men,
bers. and to turn out all who may not agree
with its peculiar notions. There is power
which will rrvise and criticise the actions
and examine the qualifications of the men,
bers of that body without any reference to
the wishes of the members themselves.
In speaking of the action of the WELLS
men the New York Times well says:
Legality and loyalty have no place in
the factious policy here proposed. The Le-
gislature as now organized, for defined and
lawful purposes, is organized in conformity
with the views expressed by the legal advi-
ser of the Federal government. Prior to the
presentation of his opinion on the subject,
there may have been room for argument as
to the course which General CANDY might
consistently pursue.
Had any friend of Gov. WALKER talked
of reserving the right to secede and organ
ize another Legislature he would have been
branded as foolish and an incurable rebel
What, then, are the extremists who now
utter this identical threat, but foolish and
intractable obstructives2 No amount of
lip loyalty can justify a proceeding which
has its origin in reckless partisanship, and
the influence of which will certainly be mis-
chievous. aH uu .l r.
Now we wish it distinctly understood
that we are not an enemy of the WELLS men,
although we preferred the more liberal plat
form of the WALKER men. But we cannot
endorse or sympathise with an action whose
consequences would be SO disastrous to the
welfare IF the people. We hope that a
wiser and better spirit will prevail
among the leaders of the WELLS men, and
ti,-t ti'ey will Do nothine which will tend to
Great a bitterness which it is the duty OF
every good man to endeavor to do away
with. They should remember that the
government is fully able to attend to the
legality of the Virginia Legislature.

The New Secretary of War.

The President has appointed Gen. WI
LIAM W.BELKNAP. of Iowa, Secretary of Wal.
Mr.. BELKNAP, for some time past, has been
Collector of Internal Revenue for the First
District of Iowa, with his Office at Keokuk.
He served during the rebellion, entering the
army with the 18th Iowa volunteers, and
commanded a division in the Army of the
Tennessee while that army was under the
command of General Grant. He is law
yer by profession, and has gained considera-
bic prominence in his State by professions
BILE ability. He is about 3s years of age
tall and stout, of fine figure, forid complex
ion, and full beard, of very pleasing address
and courteous manner. In childhood he
resided in Georgetown, D. c., with his fath-
er, but removed West in early life. MI.
Belknap is spoken of as a gentleman OF
fine executive abilities. As collector OF the
revenue he instituted reforms in his DIS
trict, on account of which he received the
highest commentators of the department.
In politics be is warm Republican OF
rather Conservative tendencies. 1t Is
thought that the appointment will prove 3"
good one.

The Pennsylvania Elections.

The result of the Pennsylvania election is
now finally ascertained. Gov GEARY, the
Republican candidate is elected by three
thousand majority. The Democrats ac-
knowledge themselves beaten and are pay
ing their election bets. This triumph of the
Republican party is all the more welcome
from being so entirely unexpected 1t is alway
the case that the vote of dominant party
largely decreases in any campaign where no
vital party interests are involved. Such was
the case in Pennsylvania. In addition, while
there were no party issues involved there
were many State interests at stake, and upon
them the campaign was fought. The Re-
publicans had only general principles for
which to combat while the Democrats re-
presented several monetary interests that
gained them thousands of Republican votes.
Thus Mr.. PACKER represented the railroad
and manufacturing interests of the State,
and thousands of Republicans voted for
him because of business considerations and
were lndlfferent to the political part of the
contest. That this would be the case was
well-known before the election, and from
the knowledge of this, it was deemed next
to impossible to defeat Mr.. PACKER, and
the election was regarded as a sure thing
for the Democrats. We do not know of a
single Republican paper which venturei to
predict Republican victory in Pennsylva-
mia. But contrary to all expectations the
Republican party has won most glorious
triumph. That such should be the case but
proves the vast latent strength of the party,
for the victory was won by the votes of the
working-men of the State in spite of the
efforts of the railroad and manufacturing
interests. Nothing could more strongly
prove the fact that the Republican is the
PEOPLES party. Let its affairs be ad-
ministered wisely and well, and its officers
be men who are true to the aohole people.
and who are influenced by no narrow mind
ed pre1udtces and r-senta,aents and il will
always triumph, for it will always be the

True Words.

/ The Roanoke Neus has the following
which is so true and SO suggestive that We
copy it:
Our people in the South, plodding on
pretty much in the same way in which oul
forefathers taught us, can have but little
conception of the immense business that is
done in certain trades in the North. The
Philadelphia Ledger, OF the 4th inst, gives
the amount of coal brought over the Read.
ing Railroad, for the week ending that date
as being 110.820 tons, or about 21,O00 car
loads, or 5000 car loads per day. This
looks astounding, but is only sample of
the business done throughout the North, and
is but proof of what energy can accom-
plish. Such future awaits the South when
ever the Southern people can discard the
ideas which past age taught them, and
consent to improve the advantages which
nature has given them-advantage unsur-
passed by any other section on Gods green
earth.
We arc not of those who see everything
to praise in one section and nothing to
praise in another. We have travelled over
a good part of North and South America
and have everywhere seen much to admire
and something to condemn We have also
seen that in every country the mode of life
is governed to great extent by circum-
stances peculiar to the country and climate,
and that any radical change would work
evil instead of good. Therefore we feel
difidence in offering advice upon such mat
tiers because our own ideas might be wrong
But the Ne,os knows whereof it speaks by
long experience and constant observation
and should be qualified to advise. We may
add that we entirely agree with the Neus
in its remarks, and believe that when the
people, and especially the business men Of
the South, arouse to the importance of do
ing business with energy, and the people
come to the same conclusion, the prosperity
of the South is assured and a glorious fu
ture will be hers. We need less politica
bitterness, and more mutual aid less party
strife and more labor for the general good
less prejudice and more endeavors to built
up the State and to promote the happines
of the people. Then will be the beginning
of that glorious future which ever after viii
be the glorious present.

Why don't you do better . !.

The accounts from Spain get worse in
stead of better. The insurrectionary party,
says the New York Times, evidently gains
in strength, and the latest kilograms informs
us that communication between Madrid and
Barcelona is interrupted. The belief pre-
walls that the authorities conceal from the
the people the bad news which they receive
from tile Provinces. 1t is evident that the
government is driven to rely upon the army
rather than on the sympathies of the nation,

Gen. Ransom,s Address,


We have not yet received any report of
of Gen. RANsoM's address delivered during
the Henderson Fair. We understand, how
ever, from many who heard it that it was q
brilliant speech, and one that cannot fail to
add to the reputation of its author. From
some meagre notes, taken by friend, which
we have perused, we believe the speech TO
have been one of extraordinary merit, and
the speaker to have taken positions by far
more liberal and statesmanlike than We
have yet seen taken by any of the leaders of
the opposition.
In alluding to the change in the system of
labor in the South, Mr. RANSOM, said:
mo man struggled against the present
status of the colored race more than myself
That question is settled forever, and 1 for
one accept the situation. We should do
justice to that race. They were our former
slaves, and thev should now be educated
and brought to higher state of cultivation.
They are now our political equals, and it is
our duty to treat them with kindness and
generosity. I call upon the colored people
to live in peace and quietness with their
! white fellow-citizens
In alluding to the development of the
agricultural resources of the State, the
speaked regarded railroads as the greatest
and quickest agents. He was railroad mau
and if he had one aspiration above another,
it was to link the ocean with the blue
mountains. Those who were opposed to
the construction of railroads he considered
entitled to all the infamy which should be
heaped upon him who opposed the advance
ment of the interests of his State.
We regret that we were unable to be pre-
sent at the meeting and hope that we shall
be able to obtain report of the speech tina!
we may lay it before our readers.

The Fighting in Spain.

The stubborn struggle that the reyolted
Spanish people have made and are still
making in several of the provinces, says the
New York Herald, indicates that the real
revolution-the real movement of the peo-
pie to cast away tyrannical domination
has at last broken out. No doubt the fact
that this movement was just beneath the
surface was OF great assistance to the oil
garchs of the army and the navy when they
drove out the Bourbon dynasty. No doubt,
also, great part Of the power of those men
before the country was derived from the sup
position that they were ready to identy them
selves with the will and purpose of the peo-
Pile in their aspiration to be free. But the
nation has finally discovered that Prim, Ser
rano and the rest only desired to change
places with the persons that surrounded the
Bourbon throne, and it addresses itself to
the labor of driving them out, Just as their
predecessors in the abuse of power were
driven out 1t begins well, for we cannot
trust the stories of the suppression of revolt
that we get every day. The stories come by
way of Madrid or Paris in every case, and
in both cities the statement of news is dis
torted to the disadvantage of the struggling
people. Indeed, the very fact that the world
has been permitted to hear at all of the
uprising indicates that it is we'll nigh beyond
the power of the government to control it.
An important point in regard to it lies in
the consideration of what the conduct of
the army will be. In the case of French
revolution we might almost calculate the
date at which the soldiers would fraternize
with the people, for it has always been the
case in every French uprising, that so soon
as its proportions indicated that it was an
expression of the general impulse of the ma
tion the soldiers would not fight against it.
But then in France the army is so directly
from the true body of the people and in
sympathy with the popular mind that it
could not well be otherwise. In Spain, on
the contrary, the army is an institution quite
apart and not inspired by or in sympathy
with the general thought and feeling of the
mass. This fact would much retard and
may altogether prevent the influence upon
the soldiers of the acts of the people; yet
we cannot believe but sooner or later the
army will feel what it is that it is fighting
against, and will refuse obedience to the or
ders of its ambitious leaders The moment
it does so the republic is secure

We are AssaiIed by carpet.bar...

The Norfolk Herald does not Seem !.
relish the STANDARDS article concerning ,bo
election OF Speaker by the Virginia Leo;,
lature. This fact grieves us. But the Hero1,
sees fit to intimate that the STANDARD b,.
no right to comment upon the actions Of
the WALKER men, because they belong To
another State. We fail to perceive .ru
solidity in the Heralds argument. We en-
dorsed the platform of the WALKEE mart,
and credited its professions of support of thu
Administration. The STANDARD was tbo
first paper in the State to support the
WALKER party, the other Republican papers
deeming its professions hypocritical
and evincing tendency towards falsehood
wholly unworthy those noble F. F. Va NJ
whom we presume the editor of the Heran
is an honored member. The 'Democratic n
papers of this State not being directly CON.
cerned in the affairs of Virginia could afford
to take high moral position, which tbep
did by yirtuously condemning those of thu
WALKER men who were formerly Democrs,
for sacrificing principle to policy"
Therefore, the STANDARD having been III.
first paper to espouse the cause of the
WALKER party, has right to condemn arv
action that it thinks at all conflicts with
the announced purposes of the party Or
which tends to make the sincerity of their
professions doubted We have also tho
right to tell them that such acts will in.
ure to their prejudice at Washington
and while doing this we cannot recopn;za
the right of the Herald to criticize n.
STANDARD for thus acting. The H.rola
was started long after the election of Wn.
KER and has never earned the right to either
defend or criticise tine WALKER party. The
editor of the Herald is stranger to the y,r-
ginia people, and is what is called a Garnet
Dagger. We have no particular prejudice
against carpet-baggers, but judging from
many articles we have seen in the New Re,no
Journal Of Commerce for the past two vear0
think that the then editor of that paper did
not approve of carpet-baggers. We would
therefore, remind the editor of the Herald
that he being stranger to the people of
Virginia, and not an F. F. ", is not enti.
tied to speak for the WALKER party. The
WALKER party is opposed to carpetbagger,
So is WALKER. Therefore we cannot regard
the editor of the Herald as competent to
speak for the party until he shall bring a
certificate to that effect from GILBERT him.
self. In the meantime we shall advise our
friends of the WALKER persuasion whenever
we think they are in danger of doing any
thing wrong, we having been adopted into
the party by the Richmond Dispatch and
Richmond Whig and moreover not being a.
carpet-bagger who has precipitated himself
upon the unfortunate but noble people of
Virginia to fatten upon their miseries, &c.
We hope that the editor of the Herald may
perceive the error of his way and position
and become naturalized citizen of Virgin
ia. We hope that the prejudices of the Vir-
ginians against carpet baggers will not ope-
rate to his detriment, but that he may
prosper and become an ornamentto the press
of Virginia and source of never failing
pride to his adopted State.
Until then we disapprove of that Speaker.

The Northern Elections

Republicans Iowa is Republican Oy an
overwhelming majority. Ohio, in which
the Democrats brought out the strnngesl
man they had, not only in the State hut n
the whole country, has gone Republican by
from six to ten thousand. This is a
magnificent victory, and one that will have
most demoralizing effect upon the Demo

regarded as almost sure for PACKER, it is

if they do by mistake own the fact before
