As We ExPRcTED.-The readers
of the Gazette have already been made
acquainted with the facts connected
with the double election at Fayette-
vile. Briefly stated they are these
The old judges appointed by the regis
trar last year claimed to hold over
Under the new law-that passed by
the last general assembly-the new
registrar claimed and exercised the
right of appointing judges, and did so.
The consequences wa, two polls were
opened. The great majority OF the
citizens voted at the polls opened by
the new judges, at which the citizens
ticket for municipal officers received a
majority Of the votes cast-in fact
over ssventy-fve majority out of vote
cf one hundred. At the other polls
about sixty votes we're cast. Although
the citizens ticket was elected even at
these polls, the judges returned the
radical ticket elected by about thirty
majority. There were only about
sixty votes cast, and fifty out of that
humber made affidavit that thev voted
the citizens ticket.
These are about the facts. In Civ
ing them, it will be remembered that
we remarked at the time if the COVER
nor would only commission the men
returned elected at the polls of the old
Judges the farce would be complete.
And he has done it. The Fayetteyill,
Democrat says Of it:
The acting governor has commits
stoned Murray Campbell mayor o
Fayetteville. Mr.. Campbell was elec
ted by fraud and brute force, yet, in tn
face Of all this, and to carry out tn
principles of the administration, hi
ex6cllency commissions the gentleman
This is only another outrage on ~ 4,

AMrEsTY.-The editor ofth Noun
tain Echo, has renounced his allegi-
ance to the ring, even at the sacrifice
of tie public printing, and now filings
his Independent banner to the breeze,
inscribed universal amnesty and un-
iversal suffrage" From a leading ed
itoria! in a recent number of his paper
we make the following extract:
care not our over Jealous friends
aware Of the fact that when they op-
pose amnesty and favor prescription
for opinions sake, they are fayoring
that which the Republican party has
always condemned as antagonistic to
the best interests of true Republic,
and that which we charged the South
ern people with being guilty of, before
the war, and Of which we justly COM
planned, prescription for opinions sake?
We do not expect that any considera.
bic portion of the now disfranchised
element will vote the Republican ticket.
But that makes no difference.
They have as good right to their
opinions as we have to ours. Many
of the most prominent rebels have al
ready been enfranchised; then why re,
fuse the same boon to the masses?
We need Peace, and We will not b.
blessed with it until all citizens are
permitted to have voice in choosing
their law makers. "But" says one.
"what will you do with the ku klux?'
Hang them when caught and convict,
ed. If the General Government can
send troops into a State to suppress;
the ku klux now, it could do it then
just as well. We have faith in the
honesty and good sense of the people
- the uiO'e people of the country who
will see the that Republic shall live if
late rebels do vote"
The above is the language of true
republicanism. Radicalism is another
and entirely different thing. The one
is respectable-the other too mean for
scorn.

A cotton pickers velocipcde has
been invented in South Carolina, by
means of which a man may sit on a
cushion, under an umbrella, with his
cotton basket carried to hishand, ard
gather his crop. When his basket is
full, by simple reversion he can
transform the velocipede into a wheel :
barrow on which he can carry his cot
ton to the place of deposit without
even the labor of lifting it to his shoul-
ders. The same machine can be used
for pulling peas.
