The Democrats seem to have carried North
Carolina by decided majority, and to have
gained several members of Congress. This fact,
1t seems to us, is most complete refutation of
the calumnies which the Democratic papers have
30 persistently and lavishly published. For
weeks past they have been steadily and noisy
clamoring that Governor Holden proposed to
control the election by military force, and that
the Administration would support him. It is
now evident that Governor Holden did no such
thing; on the contrary the election was entirely
free and unobstructed, carrying with it COM
pete answer to the slander. On the other hand.
If the action of the Governor had not been so
taken for the suppression of the
Ku Klux, there would have been no freedom
whatever attending the election in many parts
Of the State. That infamous organization would
in those sections have been undisputed masters
on election day. The fact OF. it's existence ia
nndenied. It's purpose was known. Had it con- |
'inued to enjoy mpunity in its efforts, its fell |
power would have been used to its most
disastrous end on election day. The Government |

One horse can draw one man-and several
more than one. But Mr.. Helmbold harnesses
six horses to his carriage to ride around Long
Branch. Five of them are therefore unnecessary,
and if the whole six choose to put forth their
strength Mr. Helmbold finds himself at their
mercy. This was the case on Tuesday his
"superb, fashionable six-in-hand" got frightened,
ran away with him, spilled out tho buchu'

The negro question is now dead issue in the
politics of the Nation. All the leaders of what
is called the Democratic party, like the ~. Y.

that it is dead issue, and in 1872, they propose
to wholly accept the situation and endeavor to
make friends with the negro voters. This being
the case, the pretense of "whte mans party"

co, simply because the cheap superior Is

New York, Lancaster prints sell at II
cents a yard. In Manchester, England,
Hoyle 4 prints sold ut latest dates at .54
pence equal to lOa cents gold. Add TO this
30 per cent. for premium and expense, and
it will appear that the British calico could
be afforded here in New York at l3a cents
yard, or 81 cents cheaper than the Amerl-
can. More than this it is better printed
than the American, so much so that at the
same price, q thousand cases OF English
would be sold out before the American box
cs would be broken in. Being thus cheaper
and better, why are we not allowed to
haveit Why the dear inferior always, and
not tho cheap superior? The ta:iT is tho
answer. Some New England manufacturer
wants ssProtcction" is to says, wants
you fined if you buy foreign calico, thus

In this way every working man who buys

prints could be sold at less than the selling
price of the American prints. This would,
of course, be for the advantage oil the toll

mill-owners. With Protective tariff, the
many must suffer that the few may increase
their wealth. With Free Trade every man
can buy in the cheapest market, whether 1t
be in Europe, Asia or the United States.
