Well Done, North Carolina,

The Democratic victory IN North
| Carolina will surprise no less than IL
will crafty all lovers OF constitutional
liberty. IioLDgSs militia, KIRK $ JAY
bawkcr,, and even the artillery that
GRANT sent to ovcrawe the people Of the
old North State. have signally failcl OF
their object. The spirit and determine
ton of the people seem 10 have risen
with the outrages they have suffered
and the prosecutions they have endured,
and they have shown their determination
10 vote their sentiments though twenty
THOUSAND devils stood in the way.
Even the Yanceyville prisoners, IN the
hands of kIRK's assassinS, were con-
Quoted TO the polls, and every one OF
them voted the Conservative ticket, al
though he knew that court martial,
torture, and possibly death would cnsue
az the consequence Of his vote. All
honor to the brave people of North
Carolina who have thus molly stood mp
before the face of tyranny and voted TO
sweep il from the land.

R-J0URNALISMS.

The Springfield Journal thinks Gen.
Grant should know his own mind.
For our part, we think he should eschcw
all such vulgar acquaintance.
The New York Standard says we
see in Gen. Grant an honest, capable,
true man. Then the transparent
Grant has swallowed n lar hctTer man
than himself
The Albany Evening JoTaai thinks
Gen. Butler should have led recent
negro serenade at Washington. The
Journal evidently supposes that Butler
has stolen silver even in voice.
Speaking of the mission TO Prussia the
Cleveland Leader says "thc Prcsidcn;
has not entertained any intention TO re-
move Mr.. Bancroft" Cannot the Lcadcr
allow the President the credit If inst
one good intention?
The Detroit Tribune says. "Whctht.
il was Jacob NJ. or William A. we
just now disremembcr." Whether in
the use of such expressions the Tribnn's
is sustained by any grammarian, living
or dead, we just now disrecollect.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Adrcrtiser tells us that Gen.
eral Grant cannot comprehend the po-
litical value of patronage" This may
be true, but there is certainly no man
living who knows better It's market
value in cash.

VIII He DO IfT

Governor STEVENSON stands person
ally pledged, as solemnly and positively
as any man can possibly be, TO remove
from the Board of Registration in any
county any man who is himself can
iidate for office. In Greenbrier county,
on the 4th inst, the Radical Conven-
ton nominated JAMES JARRETT and
JOHN L. SNEDEGAR as candidates for
the House of Delegates from that
county. The same SNEDEGAR is, by
appointment of Governor STEVENSON,
President of the Board of Registration.
Now will he remove him2 Not any.
At the time of making his explicit
promise so to DO his attention was
called to several cases Of this kind,
cases where member of the Board of
Registration was also a candidate for
Office, but, despite his fresh promise, he
took no action in the matter. STEVEN
SON has habit of forgetting things he
has promised to do which is exceedingly
embarrassing to those who place re-
lance upon his word

Not n Candidate.

Some person having put IN circulation
a report that JACK BAEE intended TO
run as an independent candidate for the
office of Sheriff of Ohio county, we are
authorized to give the story an emphatic
denial. Mr.. BAEE is too good Demo
crat, himself, and the friends who sup
ported him so warmly in the contest on
last Saturday are too earnestly attached
20 the principles ofthe Democratic party,
TO do anything which could hazard that
partys success. The Democracy have
always contended for the rights Of the
laboring classes of society and the
working men have always found that
party their truest friend Mr.. BAER re-
ceived a vote of which any man in the
county might justly feel proud, and We
know he does not wish to have his
reputation as q Democrat furnished by
the suspicion that he has any inclina-
ton to rebel against the popular will.

The fellows, therefore, who are at the
bottom OF all tketrouble in North Caro-

that Holden has enlisted an army OF
infantry and Grahtsis pouring in United
States artilleryto carry the elections
IRE az follows,s to wit, namely: "a

Realm and his eight Hydras, a Grand

Arrayed under this banner, with the
Grand Wizard" at their head and the
littlest "Ghour at their tail, the Ku
Klux Klan of North Carolina are
marching on the combined forces Of
Governor Holden and President Grant
and at any moment may be heard the
clash of resounding jaw-bones or the
yell Of United States artilerymen de-
voured by Cyclops and Hydras. In
deed, it is thought there will be a gen
eral engagement in North Carolina be
fore there is upon the Rhine. In view
of such probability, it can be seen
how necessary it is that Kirk should
hang up every available prisoner by
the thumbs and Grant dispatch little
more artillery to Holden's aid.

Nominations In Greenbrier.

Old JoE CALDWELL" has been nOmi-
mated for State Senator Of the Ninth
District by the Radical County Conven'
ton in Greenbrier. The other counties
of Monroe, Raleigh, Faycttc, Webster
and Pocahontas, have yet to express
their opinion But since Nat HARRISON
has LETT that country and CALDWELL IS
no longer President OF the Board OF
Registration there is not much proba-
bility Of the election Of any Radical IN
that District.
We observe that Doctor RrcSER, who
used to hail from Nicholas county, took
a prominent part in the Grcenhrier
Convention and received the nomination
of Prosecuting Attorney. The Doctor
enioys q rather uuenyiablc notorlcty

that reputation in his new field OF cx'

National Road Matters.

Our readers in Ohio County are
aware that for several years past great
dissatisfaction has been expressed by
many of the property holders along
the line Of the National turnpike con-
corning the management of the road by
Mr.. JOHN Terrell Charges Of in
competency, mismanagement aud cor.
ruption in Office were brought against
him, and petitions, numerously signed,
were presented to the Board OF Public
Works praying for his removal. The
matter eliminated in sort OF trial
which was had last winter before the
Board consisting of the Governor, Audi.
,or and Treasurer. We are informed
that the Treasurer favored TERRELL S
removal from Office, but the remaining
two members of the Board adhered TO
him. At length, FERRELL agreed to
resign, his resignation taking effect on
the LIST of August. This is, we believe.
brief and correct statement Of long
story.
And now Governor STEVENSON has
appointed one JAMES PADGErr to be
Superintendent of the National turn
pike in West Virginia, without consult
ing anybody, either of his political
friends or foes, along the line of the
road. PADGETr is said to be not much
Of an improvement on FERRELL, and
the Governors political supporters
along the road are very justly indignant
that they have not been consulted in
the matter nor allowed to recommend
any person for the position. Not only
in making this appointment, but a $50
in refusing to remove TERRELL, and by
his general obstinacy in relation to the
whole matter, Governor STEVENSON has
incurred the displeasure of nine-tenths
of the property holders along the line
Of the National road

Kentucky by 10000 These elections
in the earlier part of the wear are
significant OF those that are to take
