Characteristic piece of impotence on the part of
the Radicals here played yesterday in taking a
negro before the Marshall and getting his evidence that
threats and intmidations had been used to prevent
his voting the Radical ticket. This is truly pretty
kettle of fish, when freedmen had threatened, time
and again, to beat up kill any colored man who
might dare to vote the Democratic ticket and when
they came in crowds from every part of the parish
with six shooters on and concealed in the wag-
ons about the arsenal. But what could we

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING a TRADE-Why is
there such repugnance the part of parents to put
ting their sons to trade? skilled mechanic is an
independent man. Go where he will his craft will bring
him support. He need ask fayors of none. He has,
literally his fortune in his hands. Yet foolish
parents ambitious that their should rise in the
world, are more willing that they should study for a
profession with the chances Of moderate success
heavy against them run the risk of spending their
manhood in task Of retailing laboriousy at the ac-
countant's desk, than learn trdde which will bring
them manly spring, health and independence. In
point of fact the method they choose is the one least
likely to achieve the advancement aimed at for the
supply of candidates for the position of dry goods
clerks sEd kindred occupations is VIGOROUSLY over
stocked, while on the other hand the demand for
really skilled mechanics of every description is as no.
toriousy beyond the supply. The crying need of this
country to-day is for skilled labor and that father
who neglects to provide his son with useful trade,
and to that he thoroughly masters it, does him
griesous wrong and runs the risk OF helping By
80 much toincrease the stock of idle and dependent,
if not vicious members of society.

A SHORT REvIEw.--In our efforts to conduct the
campaign just closed we can conscentiousy aver that
we have not been swayed by personal predictions
personal antipathiea and if have in honest and
earnest zeal for the cause dear heart said
aught to wound the feelings of any whose interests
and whose feelings are identical with own, We
crave their forgiveness. But whilst do this, we
would not at deaths door retract modify word
have used in speaking of the Radical party Doubt
less many of our conservative readers think that abu
sive ephets did good but the contrary operated
harm. We do not agree with them. On the other
hand by toleratng these men who have come among
US for purposes of public plumber, and by treating
them with that courtesy only due to gentlemen, we
would have invited, it were, assertions from our
party, of acass ofmen who have principles, and
odum incurred, would not hesitate to join the Radical
party if they could thereby put money in their purse
So, we conceive there has been method in our mad
ness, if you will.
Yet however severe our denuncation of carpet-bag
gers and scalawags may have been we defy any one
to point to line word in this paper advocating OF
encouraging personal violencewe only wished to pill
Tory them before the public gaze. Nor, as have
often said before, do we believe that it makes any diff
ference as to general results whether We, metaphors
caly speaking, boot or bootck these creatures Plum
der is the goal of all their efforts and nothing turn
them aside--in their march to pelf they will look
neither to the right hand nor totAeaeft.

The Election.

The election on last Monday passed off much more
quietly than might have been supposed. At an early
hour, troops of freedmen, mounted every variety
of quadruped used for the saddle came pouring iu,
and like wedrled ssoldiers who had received their
orders marched to the Arsenal where two polls were
opened. By o'clock, A. NJ, there must have been
thousand of the colored population congregated
there including women which latter, by the way have
been turbulent since the surrender than
their lords and masters Shortly before noon diff
Guilty occurred between colored preacher called
Squire Norman who drunk and very boisterous,
and young man whose name we did not learn, in
which the preacher got pistol ball in the feshy part
of the leg-not serious wound. This created great
excitement among the negroes and they made a rush
for the young man, but were held at bay By Capt.
Clarke and two others until he made his escape,
though couple of shots fired at him by negroes.
Quiet soon restored, and the rest of the day and
night as peaceable as Sabbath day.
At the time We 60 to press is impossible to tell
the result with anything like accuracy, but We have
very little hope of having carried the parish although
others sangune on the subject 1t is useless to
enter into details, and reluctantly compelled to
send paper ont without conveying any definite in
formation on the subject There were about two
thousand votes poed at the boxes here, and probably
within fraction of three thousand in the parish. 1t
will probably be tomorrow before all the boxes are
counted.
II this parish has gone Radical, which fear is the
case, the white people will be- in great part to blame
Strange it may seem, after all the exhortatons OF
speakers and the press for voters to look to their regis
traton papers, numbers came forward either with no
papers at all or those of 1857 which good as
none. And grown up white men, claiming to have
ordinary intelligence, guilty Of this inexcusabe
piece of stupidity. Those who had papers of April,
1868, were, of course, e1cusable, it generally
supposed that they were all right
However the election may result the Radical leaders
cannot deny-that is we mean with truth, for they
would deny anything to carry point-but they had
everything their way. What " intimidation
was used entirely by their party, who threat
ened all negroes who voted the Democratic ticket,
and thus deferred many from voting who otherwise
would have done so.

North Carolina Politics.

Special Despatch TO the EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-An ex-United
States Marshal of North Carolina, who has just
arrived here, says Governor Holden is engaged
in bitter fight with his own organ, the Raleigh
Standard. They have repudiated each other,
and the Standard promises some rich revela-
tions about Holdens admins tration of State
affairs. The Democrats only lack two of having
q two-thirds ma jority in the Senate. 1t is be-
lieved that they will throw out at least three of
the Republicans and thus get complete control
of the Senate. In the event of this the pro-
gramme is to impeach Holden and turn him out
of Office before his term expires.
Important Proclamation to be Issued
Despatch to the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.--An extraordinary ses-
sion of the Cabinet was called at noon to-day
and continued in session about three-quarters of
an hour. Secretary Fish submitted the draft of
a proclamation, which was approved, and will
be issued to-day or tomorrow, prohibiting the
use of our harbors by armed vessels of belliger-
ents at points of observation or menace toward
vessels in or about to enter our waters or about
to depart therefrom.
{ In other words, to prevent such espionage,
which in its results amounts to blockading of
our ports by foreign armed YES sells. The max
iHg of our ports depots for supplying material
of war for belligerents is also prohibited. The
proper officials of the United States will be
instructed to enforce the provisions of the
proclamation.
