Party Organization.

We see that Governor HOLDEN. in his
capacity as Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, has issued call for the
meeting of that body in Raleigh "on bust
ness OF much Importance" on the 22d dav
of the present month. While we think
good taste might have left this business to
some one else than the Governor of the
State, we believe it to be a wise movement
OF the party to look to its organization in
view Of the pending canvass for members
of the Legislature.
We refer to this matter here to suggest
some conference upon the part of the Con-
servatl7e people Of the State previous to
that election, and as early as practical,
There are some differences of opinion, more
as to policy than principle, we are led to
believe, among the opponents of Radical
ism, but the extravagancies and corrup-
tons Of that party have been SO great, and
reformation is so imperatively demanded.
that we do not anticipate any difficulty in
bringing together all the elements of OBJ.
position to the present incompetent and
corrupt State government upon q common
platform, just and honorable alike to all.
We therefore respectfully suggest the
meeting together Of the late Executive
Committee, or such of them as have not
been led astray seeking after the fesh-pots
OF Kad1calism, to call q Convention of
conservatives, or if thought more adyisa-
Die, let the call be made by members of
the present Legislature previous to their
adjournment. We are no stickler as to the
mode by which tee movement to re organ
lze the party for the coming conflict is in
augurated. We will do much to insure.
harmony. Our object is to save North
Carolina from the foul embrace of Radi-

Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad.


We learn from the Rutherfordton TinGt-
Gator that the Engineers on the survey OF
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther-
ford Railroad have reached that place,
having completed the survey. Without
any wish to dictate or find fault with the
authorities of this road it does seem to us
this survey smacks just little of humbuge-
ry, and in the present financial condition
of the Company, the expense of which can
be lily afforded. There is no prospect of
an early completion of the road to Ruther-
fordton, and 1t is wrong to hold out false
hopes by costly survey. The line has
been surveyed sufficient for all practical
purposes. and all the money which the
Company may have should be expended in
building the road upon the sections
already surveyed and partially finished AS
we have said before it is only by economy
and patience the affairs of this road can
be brought successfully through the crisis
which how presses heavily upon it. Elk
penditures must be confined to matters of
direst necessity, and every energy bent to
forwarding the extension Of the road
We watch with jealous care everything
connected with this great work. Whining
toms future is more closely allied with its
completion and success than any other
work finished or projected. President
SLOAN and Superintendent GUIoN have our
sympathies in their important labors, and
so far as we are permitted to extend them,
will receive our cheerful aid. The pres
ent deplorable financial condition Of the
road, for which they are in no way official
ly responsible, is q subject of regret by all
its friends, but we trust they have the de-
termination and tho energy to rise above
present difficulties and we hope they will
have the power to oYercomc thcm.
