THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION
80. NO RADICAL T1HUMPHs--'~a--~ ~

-
Our ootenporary of the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel thus truthfaily
explains the import Of the recent North
Carolina election. The Interpretation
thus given we regard just and accurate
1.-THE North Carolina Democratic
journals seem to concede that the State
has gone against convention bya majo-
rity ranging from 5000 to $4,000 votes
the lowest estimate being, probably,
the most correct. Although the call
for a convention was defeated; and
although the Republican papers North
aud South are Growing Justify thereas, it
is an absurdity to term the result Radi.
cal victory. The election in North
Carolina last year-when every advan-
tage was with the radicals demonstrates
very plainly that the Democrats had a
large working majority in tho State.
If ,theJ were defeated in the late
campaign; it was not their enemies, but
wing of sheis own force, which caused
the disaster. alhe constitution adopted
in 1868, under the reconstruction laws,
declared that a convention should not
be called to amend it until after ten
years bad. elapsed. The Democratic
Legislature chosen last August voted in
favor of ofassembling convention without
regarding this provision. The action
frightened all the timid men 10 the
party, who were afraid of another
reconstruction in case the movement
proved successful. In this belief they
were strengthened bS the radical journals
of the State and of the whole country.
The administration also interfered for
the purpose OF encouraging thfs idea.
The Attorney General Of the United
States s,umped North Carolina in the
interest of :he Radicals, and boldly
proclaimed that if the Democra's were
successful-if new constitution was
framed aud officers elected under it
there would be two State governments
for Congress to choosGbetween, aud lett
the impression that the old government
would be the one sustained. Under
these circumstances large number Of
Democrats who were anxious for quiet,
and afraid of Congressional interference,
voted against convention, and thus the
day was lost"

THE NATHAN MURDER.
The New York Times Story Proc
uounced Sensation.

The Republican printed an Associated
Press telegram from New York which
set forth that the Times Of that city
would, 10 its next issue, publish an
account Of the pursuit Of FORESTER, the
supposed murderer of Nathan, BY
Detective Pinkertoa.
The Nathan murder has come 10 be
looked upon by every one as the mos:
profound mystery in the annals of crime.
Any statements which tend to throw
LIGHT on THE DARKNESS,
| which surrounds the deed are eagerly
watched for BY the reading public, and,
generally speaking, the more sensational
they are the more credence do they
receive. Yesterdays dispatch was an
example Of this. 1t was the.subject Of
grea: deal of speculation among those
who had kept themselves posted on the
facts which were developed in connection
with the commission Of the terrible
crime. Every person who read it won.

enterprise, but scarcely any one stopped
to enquire if the great crime detector
was really in pursuit of the srea, criminal

The "South Carolina" is commanded
by j. T. BECKETT. modest, accom-
plished gentleman, full of those quiet
amenities and courtesies so grateful to
passengers, thorough master of his
ship, and intimately acquainted with
his route.
The purser, Mr.. 0. p. JACKSON is a
gentleman of ike fitness and accom-
plismerts, contributing no small quota
to the social enjoyment, care aud in'
| formation of his guests.
On the "South Carolina's" passenger
list is embraced considerable Radical
"riug." But these follow we'll the
principles of "birds of a feather" They
talk together, eat together, and play
"poker" together, game so popular at
Columbia, during the sitting of the
Legislature, and of which "Uncle Joe
Crews" OF the "steel pen coat" is so
shining an exemplar.

always ajar and balanced on stool, this
dcvout person, was deep 10 the myste-
ries of q large typed testament and
| assuming her minimum weight at
240 net; it was subject Of curious
inquiry, how she succeeded hour after
hour, in preserving the position Of her
spectacles on an unusually fat nose
and the position Of her portly self on
an ordinary stool. The scene would
have been impressive on account of its
devotional features, if the situation
aud surroundings had not been ludi
crous.

KEEP Coon NATURED.-"The horse
that frets is the horse that sweats," is
an old saying Of horsemen, and it is
just as true of men as of horses. The
man that allows himself to get irritat-
ed at every little thing that goes amiss
in his business, or in the ordinary af-
fairs of life, is man that, as a rule,
will accomplish little and wear out
easily. He is man for whom bile
and dyspepsia have particular fond.
ness, and for whom children have a
peculiar aversion. He is a man with
a perpetual thorn in his flesh, which
pricks and wounds at the slightest
movement; man for whom life has
title pleasure, and the future small
hope.

Whether cotton could be grown sue
cessfully in the southern valleys of the
State Of California has been rather a
ycxed question among the agricultur-
sts of the Pacific slope. The result of
a recent experiment made by gentle
nan in Mercer and Los Angeles Coun-
ties seems to have settled the matter
beyond dispute. Hitherto but few
acres planted, but this year Major
Strong planted seventy-fve acres, and
is now gathering his crop. The yield
Of his field this year is three hundred
and seventy-fve pounds of ginned cot
ton per acre, and the cost of producing
which is about six cents per pound
Next year Mr.. Strong intends to
plant three thousand acres, and there
seems to be no reason why the produc-
ton of cotton in the warmer counties
of California should not be equal 10
that of Mississippi
