Homestead and Lien Laws.

It has been hlrged on the Conservative
party of North Carolina that they are OPP
posed to the homestead and lien laws and
is even so asserted, we believe, by Price,
the Radical Senatorial nominee in this
county. Like all Radical stories, the
falsity of this is easily made evident
AS for the homestead law, an act was
passed by the Legislature of North Caro-
lima. of the session 1853 50, securing an
ample homestead to those who chose to
avail themselves of the benefit of the law !;
and yet the Radicals moot the question as
If it were really a new thing.
AS for the lien law, the greatest obJec-
ton now to be found to it is that in its
present state it is imperfect. One of the
Conservative Representatives OF this
county has shown US perfected bill bear
ing upon this subject, which meets the
views of the Conservative party and which
he will introduce when the General As
sembly meets. It will undoubtedly have
the support of all Conservative Represen
tatives and will secure to the negro as well
as the white laborer and mechanic all the
benefits of the present law.
Who can now say with truth, in the face
of these facts, that the Conservative party
is opposed to the homestead or lien laws l?

The Elections.

The Elections
To-day eighteen States hold their cleo
tions, as follows: Wisconsin, New Jersey,
Minnesota, Maryland. Kentucky, Arkan-
sas and Florida for members of Congress,
and Virginia, Tennessee, New York. Ne
vada, Missouri, Michigan, Massachusetts,,
Kansas, Illinois, Delaware and Alabama,
for both members of Congress and State
officers. The election for State and Con-
gressional officers was held in Louisiana
yesterday.
The Democratic party 80 into these
elections with much confidence in carrying
several of these States, and of reducing
the Radical maiorities in all of them. It
is hardly probable that a majority of the
members Of the next House of Represon-
tatives will he Democrats, but with the
gains already made in North Carolina,
West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and those expected in New York,
Illinois, Tennessee, New Jersey and some
other States, that party will have a very
large minority. Their numbers will be
sufficient to give the Democratic party
some WelgnG III inc uat1oEdI 4eSls!atlFe
halls, which will be the stepping stone to
victory in 1872.
We confess that we expect to see blow
given by the people of these eighteen States
to Radicalism from which it will never re-
cover. We sincerely trust that. as recon
struction has been finished, something will
be done to-day towards reconciliation,
without which reconstruction is worse
than useless
