The Republican party was first organized in 1851 Lat

Divided between Hard aud softs," 30 that the Know
This voto was cast for ahalfandhah ticket and two
Democratic candidates thereby elected
Union ticket.
These returns show immense fluctuations
in the vote from year TO year-in the relative
vote of the rival parties, and also in the
aggregate poll of the entire State. In 1860,
the poll must have been within five per cent.
of the entire legal vote, though in 1857
scarcely half the electors had seen fit to cast
their ballots In 1867, some $4,000 Republicans
and 25OOO Democrats refraned from voting
yet In 1868 we pOlled the entire vote
of the State and many more. The 419S93
votes cast for Gen. Grant exceeded, by
at least 10000, any vote that could
have legally been cast against him.
Yet, by the forgery Of tens Of thousands of
naturalization certificates and the polling of
many thousands of votes by "repeaters," the
people were defrauded of their choices and
this most unexpected and outrageous iDiquity
so discouraged them that tens of thousands
refused last Fall TO attend the polls. But, since
then, Congress has passed laws designed and
calculated to protect the rights of legal voters;
and these laws cannot fail to, do at least some
good. We shall probably be cheated a few
thousands notwithstanding, in this City and
Brooklyn, but we trust hardly tenth so much
as we were in 1868. The Federal Judges who will
deal with offenders at this election against the

ODE STATE CANVASS.

The Republican State Convention meets at
Saratoga tomorrow to decide on the time and
place of holding our State Nominating Con-
vention, and, in issuing a call accordingly, to
sound the first trumpet-note for the struggle
before U.S. 1t is highly probable that other
Republicans will informally attend this gather
ing, TO mingle their counsels and their efforts
with those of tho State Committee.
We urge that the Convention be called for
the earliest practicable day-Dot later than the
first of September-and we wish it might be
earlier. Our District Conventions, to nOmi-
nate candidates for Congress, will not be held,
and will not generally be called, until after
the State nominations are made; and the can
vass cannot well be opened until after such
nominations. Hence, if the State Convention
should be held so late as even the 9th OF Sep
tember, we shall not have the canvass fully
opened before the first of October, and that
will be too late to insure q general attendance
at the polls.
We can never poll our full vote except at q
Presidential election, partly because some forty
to fifty Thousand voters, nearly all OF them
Republicans, viii be absent from their homes
on business on the day of election, unless
their feelings can be enlisted in the canvass
Let us open the campaign early in September
and many if not most Of these will so arrange
their business as to be at home for the cleo
ton: otherwise, they will be engrOssed in busi-
ness at Chicago, Omaha, Hew-Orleans, San
Francisco, or elsewhere, and, each fancying
that his vote can make no difference
their aggregate absence may lose us the State
Thus ii has been, may be again; and one
remedy therefor is an early State Convention.
We wish on Western friends would consent
to meet us in Convention this year at the
State HOUSE in Albany, where we would try to
show them that there are energy and life yet
left among the Republicans of the River
Counties. We disappointed our rural friends
last year by reducing the Democratic ma
iority in this City about 10000 votes; and we
will try to do better next time if they
viii give us all possible encouragement.
The State House was 80 befouled by the un-
clean birds who roasted there last Winter, that
a gathering of true men in State Convention
might help to renovate its atmosphere, and
Danish some of the unsavory odeGs that still
haunt its halls and corridors. Let us give an
excuse for throwing open its doors and win
dows, and letting it have somewhat of the
cheerful light and purifying air of Heaven.
The vote of our State at the several State
elections since the Republican party was formed,
has aggregated as follows:

HOMO EEROY


1t is a thousand pities that Jean Jacques
Rousseau is dead for here has been discovered
in Western Nevada a veritable Wild Man.
This denizen of the wilderness, who is de-
scribed, greatly to the credit Of the Caucasian
race" as undoubtedly white" came suddenly in
the broad moonlight upon a camp of travellers.
Like Esau of old, he was covered with coat
of fine, long hair. In one hand he carried a
club, and in the other a rabbit His scream
"was like the roar of the lion,n and, brandish-
ing his bludgeon, he dashed by the camp and
fell furiOusly upon the pcketed horses, the
frightened animals stampeding at once, with
the Wild Man after them like the wind down
" a mountain" The dogs wisely declined to
take the trail of the " infuriated demon"
When (according to the account be-
fore us) "the rosy sunlight cheered the land
escape" the travellers started in pursuit.
They found one of the fugitive steeds with
. large strips of skin torn off, and with his
"jaw broken" so that it .was necessary to
shoot him. The other horses were also found
with "their tails entirely stripped of hair"
Finally, the trail of the Wild Man was struck,
and from his footprints it was evident that he
was a human being, however much run TO
seed, and that he would wear "NO. 8 shoes,n
if he wore any shoes at all. All at
tempts to overtake this interesting creature
were made IN vain. His trail ended abruptly
at the entrance of q cave, in which was found
a set of soldiers buttons, and, what is more
remarkable, silver dime. From this it was
evident that the Wild Man had so far ad-
vanced in recivilization as to be ready, at least
to q limited extent for specie payments, should
they be demanded of him.
The conjecture is that this most delicate
monster is a soldier lost from FremOnts conf
mand in 1916. If so he has, for a quarter of a
century, been gradually slipping away from
all semblance of humanity, his body assuming
the covering of wild beasts, and his intellect
gradually sinking to the level of the lower in
stincts. We are fond Of dilating cOmplacently
over our power of progress, and of crying out
with Hamlet: "What piece of work is man
How noble i'll reason! how infinite in faculty
" in form, In moving, how express and ad-
"mirable in action, how like an angel! in ap-
prehensiOn, how like god! the beauty of
the world the paragon of animalsm Alas
we are forced, with all our pride, to admit
that The eremite of Nevada demonstrates,
with all our genius for soaring, that we have
| also q supplementary capacity for sinking.
Here is a man, who, perhaps not a very long
time ago, was the equal in rel.nement and in
telligence of his feilOws--one who loved,

THE NORTH CAROLINA TROUBLES.

An Election takes place in North Carolina
tomorrow for an Attorney General, nine mem
bers of Congress (seven for the ALlld
Congress, and two to iii vacancies in the
XLIsO. and members of the Legislature.
While there is some doubt as to the result of
this election, as there is as to almost all such
contests, we incline 90 the opinion that 1t VIII
prove substantial Republican triumph.
North Carolina has been in an unfortunate
state of ferment and excitement for several
months past. Outrages OF the most shameIul
character, including scOurging and murder,
have been perpetrated upon peaceful citizens
by disguised midnight marauders, for no other
apparent cause than the fact OF difference OF
political opinions. These Outra9es were so
pcrsistently continued that the Governor found
IL necessary, after exhausting, as he alleges,
all possible civil means of bringing criminals
to justice, to declare certain portions of the
State under martial law, and to resort
to military force to suppress hWless-
ness and bring malefactOrs to justice
ThereupOn the Rebel press of the South and
their Democratic echoes in the North set up
the concerted cry that all these Outrages were
perpetrated by Yagabond negroes, and that the
calling out of the militia was merely pretext
to enable the Governor to Overawe the Demo-
cratic voters of the State, keep them from the
polls, and thus force Republican majority
This view of the situation was SO frequently
reDeated in editorials, in speeches, in telegraphic
dispatches, that many honest people came TO
believe it. In order to ascertain and place
before the readers of THE TRIBUNE the real
state of affairs in North Carolina, we dis
patched trustworthy correspondent to that
State whose first letter we publish elsewhere.
In view of the confessions of MIR. Boyd aud
other prominent and influential 3 citizens
formerly connected with the Ku-Klux, and
the statements of so candid and intelligent
gentleman as Chef-Justice Pearson, citizen
who is not a partisan, and who Is
so highly esteemed in his State that
he was elected to his exalted position
by the unanimous vote of the people,
it would seem that no candid mind can longer
doubt that there is q secret organization IN
North Carolina which must be held responsible
for these horrible Outrages that such organi-
zation is of political character, and that it is
directed and at least tacitly sustained by the
leading and influential Democrats of the
State. Desiring to obtain the politi-
cal control of the State, and failing
to get any considerable portion of the
cOlored vote, they resOrted to midnight
whippings and hangings as a means of intimi-
dating the newly -enfranchised citizens and
keeping them from tho polls. Gov. Holden
has taken measures which will effectually pre-
vent the success of the game. Hence the
wrath he has aroused, and the storm of SLAM
der wherewith he and all North Carolina Re-
publicans are assaled.

An engagement of short duration and little
importance occurred yesterday in front of Saar-
bruck The Prussian Outposts ON the south
side of the Saar were driven back and across
the river. The nights which from the south
side of the stream overlook the little railway
station were occupied by the French, and from
these their artillery shelled the Prussians out
of Saarbruck, forcing their retirement to the
hills back of the town. There were no other
movements of Importance along the line,
which otherwise remains unchanged. The re-
ports which yesterday prevailed of naval
battle off the Prussian coast were fabricatiOns.
The special war reports of THE TRIBUNE,
published at length in this mornings issue,
are the first detailed statements received In
this country from the seat of war, and written
by correspondents sent to the contendinS
armies They describe the uprising of the
French people-at least those of Paris, for 1t
is the Parisians chiefly who are most enthusl-
astic in the French cause-and the movement
of the French army TO the field; the fortiica-
tions at Metz; the feeling of the English, and
other minor topics of the war of interest to
American readers.

The base and truculent letter addressed by the
Anti-Chinese Convention of San Francisco to
the Six Chinese Companies ought TO arouse the
indignation of the whole country. 1t is little
better than undisguised rufiianism, accOmpa
MED with peculiarly gross insults. The Con-
vention instructed its President and Secretary
to inform the Six Companies that it was
neither Just to our own people nor safe to the
Chinamenn that Chinese immigration should
continue The worthy delegates discharge this
commission by informing the Companies that
the Chinese are nuisances; that "their habits
81 and morals are contaninating our peoples"
that they are becoming every day more and
more repulsive to freemen; and finally that
the people do not mean to put up with them
any longer The people have right to do as
they please about everything, and the Anti
Chinese Convention was "the largest meeting
"of the people ever held in San Francisco
Hence the Six Companies, and through them
the ruling powers at Peking, are to take warn
ing that if any more Chinese persist In coming
to this country they must come at the peril OF
their lives. But, it will be objected, we have
a treaty with China. which guarantees to the

cannot be too considerably nor too intelli-
gently performed. SO far as we are aware, no
ono fit for Governor is anxious to be nom

hension that Hoffman will be counted in
any how, no matter what may be the state Of
the poll. This frees the Convention from the
embarrassment of deciding between rival
claims and pretensions Whoever can poll the
