recognize among the leaders much of the

The County Election.

Now that the excitement of the convass
and the smoke of the battle has passed
away, it is an easy matter to survey the
field of the late struggle in New Hanover
county between rival wings of the Repub-
ican party. .-
The appearance and the immediate ad-
vantages of victory are with one party, but
it's substance is with the other. If we un-
derstand the real position of affairs it was
struggle between the carpet-baggers on
the one side and the more respectable and
influential colored citizens on the other
The former had all the advantages of Off
cial influence, patronage, money and whis-
key. Still with these powerful aids they
were afraid to nominate carpet-bagger TO
fill the place of q retiring carpet-bagger,
but overcame the just prejudices OF the
blacks to the future control of strangers,
by nominating one of their own color, and
one with much local popularity
However "shrewd this movement was, ii
was an acknowledgement of the unpopular
ity of the carpet-bagger. ... .
The other party undoubtedly had the
sympathy of the whites, as it was led by
colored men of character and position, and
under other circumstances would have re-
'ceived very general support from our
people. 1t is but just to them to soy their
candidate had neither the confidence nor
respect of the whites, and no positive pop.
ularity with the blacks. Under all the
circumstances, with no official patronage
TO bestow, without means. without an
organ, and with but imperfect organiza.
ton, the result is highly fattering to the
Price Miller wing of the party, and TO the
zeal and Judgment with which they con-

When was the Slave Set Free,

At the time the emancipation proclaimed was
lssuec, our forces were in possession of Ply
mouth. North Carolina. The slaves from the
neic chborin2 country came in, anxious 30 place
themselves under the protection of the United
States troops Soon, however, the rebes regain
cd possession of Plymouth, and those Of the
negroes who dad not leave with the federal SOL
diers went back to their old masters. A very
strange question now arises. The citizens of that
country want to know when the negroes of North
tCarollna were made free If, they argue, they
were free from the time the -pIOclam alton was
issued, then they want the government to pay
them for heepng the freedmen, or force them to
work out their board it they were not freed till
is valid, and the amount may be collected but
no claim for services rendered by the negro can
be enforced. The Washington correspondent 3of
the Now York Journal of Commerce states that
Superior Court of North Carolina, and the court
lodges the issue. Judge E. W. Jones. of that
court, being now at the national capital to have
talk about it.--Baltimore Sun.
The Supreme Court has settled this
question so far as North Carolina rs con.
cerned. In the case of Harrell rS. Watson,
decided during the recent term of the
Court, it was held that emancipation was
effected by the action of the State Conven-
tion of 1865, and the subsequent ratifica-
tion by the people of the ordinance eman-
cipating the slaves. This decision should
be safe precedent for Judge of an in
ferior Court. Can Judge Jones be court

bill was under discussion it being understood that

sions asked for In the BILL 1t was heard before
Committee OF the Whole Mr. Glen. OF Wayne, IN
the chair. Several amendments were offered and
adopted not materially changing the shape OF the BILL
until Mr.. Hickman offered an amendment that no
arrests for violation OF the law without warrant
from some Judge OF competent jurisdiction should
be made and defended his position with great elo-
quence in favor Of the rights of citizens OF New
YORK. Mr.. Punkett also supported II forcibly.
MesSrs. Gleason, or st. Lawrence, and La Bau, OF
Warren, opposed 1t on the ground that IL destroyed
the bill. Messrs. Mitchell and Hartman urged
the withdrawal OF the amendment for fear the pas
man declined, and upon vote being taken the
amendment was lost. On motion OF Colonel Mur-
phy, the author OF the original bill progress was re-
ported upon the bill Mr. Hickman renewed his
amendment, when the Speaker took his chair and 1t
was again debated. Mr.. Lyons, OF Orange, sup
ing called for the amendment was again
