ihe North Carolina Election.

The election news from North Carolina
is beautiful Returns indicate the cleo
ton of Vim. Fl. Shipp. Conservative, for
Attorney General, over Samuel +. Phil
lips, Radical, by majority of from 5000
to 10, co., The Conservatives have large
majority in both Houses of the Legisla-
Congressional districts.
That such victory has been won when
the armies of Holden and GraRt had just
been precipitated upon the unarmed
voters, indicates an unprecedented upris-
ing against the expressions and corrup-
tons of HOlden's government. The
honest men and good citizens of all par.
ties seem to have united for the relief OF
North Carolina as they did in Tennesse.
But for the employment OF the military to
drag multitudes of citizens from their
homes and to overawe others,the majority
would have been much more decisive
Having failed by such means to accom-
plish anything more than reduction oi
the popular majority against him, it Is
not improbable that Holden will attemp,
to throw out returns enough to nullify this
expression of the popular will. Whatever
the result may be, whether Holden doc

There is no doubt that the Ajministra

overthrow of civil law, and the outrages
upon free, peaceful citizens in North Car

was the control of the elections. Now

The Senator from Massachusetts, Mr..
Wilson, is out with long address in be-
half of the Congress everybody has been
glad to get rid of, and would be gladder
yet, if it never again reassembled. The
dead issues of slavery Reconstruction
etc, are again resurrected, and made the
most of, while the living issues are thus
slurred over
Many Republicans looked to Genezsl
Grants administration with high raised expecta-
tions or Course they have been impatient, and
not dilcays satisfied Uih results But while these
expectations have not been fully realized in the
action of either the President or of Congress,
much has been achieved; enough, at any rate, to
wrought out and the hoPed-for results accom-
pished
The results have been taxation upon
the people for two years of at least $780,
100000 more than was necessary ($20O,-
100000 in ally to pay off the national
debt, or, in other words, to raise the price
of bonds IN the hands of bondh0Iders
Through the struggles of the Democrats
in Congress, this taxation has been cut
down at least $6o,000,0O0, when the cut
ting down ought to have been over 800,
100000 per anuum. Wilson gloriies over
this statement OF fact, and says:
The taxes have been removed from transporta
and manufacturers. The income tax has been re
duced TO two and half per cent. on all income:
above two thousand dollsrs, and it is to expire a
the end of two years. The tax on tea has beer
reduced from twenty-five to fifteen cents PEI
pound on coffee from i've 10 three cents; and The
tax sugar sud m GLASSES has been reduced in th'
aggregate twelve millions of dollars per anLum.
The taxes on transportation ought t.
have been removed two years ago, and th
Democrats in Congress struggled to re
move them.
The income tax ought to have beer
altogether abolished, for it is wholly un
necessary to carry on and support tn
Government, and is only kept up to Sp.
into peoples private affairs.
The tax on tea and coffee has been re
duced-but in this reduction, was SNUG
gied in sn item to give three men, one o
them the late Republican candidate TO
Governor of New York, aud another
member of Congress from Pennsylvania
millions upon millions in the way of
bounty, on their patents for making Bes
semcr Steel Rails.
The profits from the prohibition item il
the tariff bill of the Bessemer Steel Rail;
are greater than all the reduction on te
and coffee.
If the Democrats had had the control c
the last Congress, they would have re
duced the revenue over 100000 ,OO'
They would have freed the country fror
all the bounties and monOpolies in tn
