A SWEEPING REPUBLICAN, VICTORY.


From across the mountains in the Old
North STATE, we hear good tidngs. The
Democrats of that State like those of
Tennessee, when they came into pow
er, began Immediately to make ar
rangements for appropriating all the Of
fees to themselves, and to turn out Re-
publican office holders from the least to
the greatest. Like our own State, they had
Republican judiciary there, which in
Democratic eyes was II thing absolutely
unbearable.
ADemocratic majority in theLegislaturc,
with Tennessee as a precedent found no
trouble in making provision for getting
rid of this judiciary. A Constitutional
Convention was unconstitutionally provi-
ded for and an election ordered The Re-
pubicans went to work to defeat the CON
vention, and they have succeeded by n
majority of from 1000 to 10000. The DEM
ocrats are mortified. They are chop-fallen.
They have been beaten at n game of their
own selection. They have been routed,
horse, foot and dragons. Would-be judg e
are forced to live a while longer as private
citizens, and the only way to get rid of the
Radical office holders" is to turn them
over to the tender mercies of Kuklux
Klans, or to prefer charges against them
and impeach them, which they will do.
Too much praise cannot be given the
North Carolina Republicans for the gallant
fight they have made. A victory of which
the whole country feels proud is their re-
ward. Let Republicans in other Southern
States take courage and profit by their eX-
ample.

A DEMOCRATIC exchange, published not
thousand miles off, explains and excuses
the Democratic losses in Kentucky by the
fact that thousands of its intelligent minds
were compelled to vote against their party
because it resolutely set its face against a
great internal mprovement--the Southern
railroad from Cincinnati. In like manner
II excuses defeat in North Carolina, on the
ground that the best Democrats were driv-
en- from the party there because they did
not want to assist ia revolution and disor-
ganization. ~
\ Next Fall it will have to excuse defeat
in New York, because honest Democrats
wouldn't endorse 'Villainy and stealing.
So it is everywhere. After while honest
Democrats will get in good company per-
manently by voting with Republicans

EX-SECRETARY DooLITTLE has been in
teryiewed relative to the Presidency. He
thinks the Democrats ought to nominate
some moderate Republican. The New
Departure" Democrats are more than half
of'the opinion that he is right. These
same Democrats, some time ago, claimed
that General Grant was very moderate
Republican. Suppose they just conclude
and nominate him for reelection. The
general result Of the election will not be
changed.

THE Nashville Banner quotes approx
ingly from a correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial where he says "the late
exposure of the Tammany will cause the
New York Ring" to take back seat in
the next campaign, and make the Democ-
racy more careful in the selection of Il can
didate." The files of the Banner will
show that the exposure of the New York
Ring" was not very palatable TO that sheet
few weeks ago. The managing editor
of the Times was denounced because he
used the word ''thieyes' in speaking OF
the "Ring.n But the Banner is not the
only Tennessee journal that has defended
Tammany against the late exposure.

THE GENEVA ARBITRAToRs.

The President has been most fortunate
in his selection of an Arbitrator under the
Washington Treaty, for the settlement of
that large and important class of claims
arising under it, and popularity known as
the Alabama Claims" The telegraph at
first reported that Hon. Chas. Francis
Adams had declined the appointment, but
later and official advices announce that he
has accepted and his commission has been
forwarded.
Mr.. Adams is peculiarly fitted for this
important position as under his negotia-
tons as our Minister at the Court of st.
James, the principles which must be adju-
Dictated by tine Arbitrators met with q
comprehensive and satisfactory considera-
ton Mt his hands. He is by nature fitted
for the delicate and important duties of the
position. With the profouRdest knowl-
edge of international laws, he combines
thorough familiarity with the arts of di-
plomacy. His mind is free from partisan
prejudices or national animosities, so that
he can bring to the consideration of these
great international questions an impartial
| and fearless judgment. ....
The Commission, of which Mr. Adams
is now a member, by the LIST Article of the
| recent treaty, is to be composed of five
members one named by the President,
one by the British Government, one by
his Majesty the King of Italy, one by the
Iresluent OF the SWISS Con Moderation, and
one by the Emperor of Brazil. The Arbi-
traitors are to meet at Geneva,.in Switzer-
land, as soon after they are named as pos
| ible.
Article III of the treaty provides that after
meeting, the Arbitrators ''shall proceed
| impartially and carefully to examine and
decide all questions that shall be laid be-
| fore them on the part of the Governr-
of the United States and Fn- pr;t,, ,eii.
MAJESTY. rpSnpptlNpIV
sidered by the tribi,na1 "a" Hip uG5,lGms con- on
iina at, aware ware shall be decided by MAORI
of All tle arbtratorsv ''''0''
! Mr adams is the first of these Arbitra-
/ ,ors named, we believe. and if the Others
shali be OF equal character and ability, It
| VIII be tribunal whose decision will have
| the resncct of all mankind.
ln this, as in the appointments of the
members OF the recent Joint High Com
! mission, the President has been mo- t
happy in his nominations, and shown rare
! judgment anu tact.

some one has given the Nashville papers
a bit of news, to the effect that 1.-THE Knox
vile Radicals are having happy time
quarreling over the spoils of office. The
outs want the ins removed and the ms
protest loudly agains so monstrOus a pro-
position" SO far as we are concerned, this
Is news TO us. The Republicans of Knox
vile and Knox county have generally act
ed together harmOniOusly. OF course there
are disorganizcrs in all parties and in every
locality, but they have received cold COM
Tort IN these quarters, and we trust for the
good name and success of the party IL may
continue that way. He who would thrust
hrebrands into the party, hoping in the
confusion to follow, that he might bring
himself into notice, should be spurned 10y

the charge of "quarreling" among Knox
vile Republicans is concerned, We deny it,.

If the Democracy ever get to the White
House it will be through the aid of the
Iammapy Ring. They control New York
city, AM, ~ thousands of fraudulent votes
are enabled to carry the State. Without
the electoral vote of New York a Demo-
cratic nominee could not be elected Presi-
dent How they would rule the nation
can be best judged tiom their record as
rulers of New York.
Look on the following figures, reader, and
see how you would like them to control
the revenues of this country Under their
rule the debt of New York increased in
the words of the Tribune as follows:
Jan. l. 1863, City & Co, Debt, $50, S24, n4s 81

debt half million dollars, on their own show

worse than this, is it any wonder that Control

two weeks ago assured us, was begun weeks be-
