In these nine Counties. which form
about one tenth of tho whole. and in
which, supposing that every legal voter
had polled, there would have been but
26. $50 ballots cast, there have been &C
tually 29,949 counted, or 1892 more
than undcr any honest possibility there
ought to have been. AS every one Of
these illegal votes has been given to
Caldwell, the excess in these nine Coun-
ties alone will deny him the election, as
it is more than enough to change the
majority. as reckoned by the Radicals, to
one for Merrimon, even should tho votes
for all the other Counties he allowed to
remain us they are. But AS the only way
in which these Counties can be dealt
with will be to throw out their entire
vote. by far the greater part of which is
counted to Caldwell, it will give his op-
ponent the election by somewhere in the
neighborhood of 5000 or 10000 majo-
rity. A just retribution, indeed, will it
be for Grants Radical rascality.

Loss OF THE DECLARATION OF INDIE.
PENDENcE.-The original manuscript OF
the Declaration of Independence is ra-
pidly fading away, and, judging from
the past, but few years will elapse be-
fore the naked parchment will be the
only souvenir remaining of that bold
manifesto. Already nearly all the sigma
lures are entirely effaced, and the rest
cannot last much longer without some
thing is done to restore tho writing. The
sacred declaration, together with George
Washington's commission as General
and Commanderin-C Chief of the Colonial
Army" which ia in about the Same con-
dition, have been for years on exhibition
in the Patent Office, and it is matter of
surprise that no effort has been made by
the Government to savo them from being
lost forever to posterity.

NORTH CAROLINA IN NOVEMBER The
Radicals are now boasting that they will
be able in the Presidential election in
North Carolina to considerably increase
the majority of ], 600 or over which they
have just fraudulently counted up for
Caldwell. The relative results Of the
last elections in the State for Governor
and President, in 1868, do not exactly
show us how this is to be done, inasmuch
as the majority of 1861 with which
they carried the election for Governor in
the August of that year, was reduced to
IL, 136 in the Presidential election of the
same year-a falling of in majority of
6.605, or more than one-third! There is
little doubt of the State being carried
by Greeley and Brown in November
next; but, Of course, that result can only
be attained by due precaution, aud a
keen watchfulness over the wiles Of the
unprincipled Administration. One cle-
ment Of fraud will certainly be removed
the South Carolina aud Virginia me-
groes will be required to remain and vote
in their own States. Consequently, that
disgraceful system Of colonization, I"
which alone will unseat Caldwell when
the Legislature meets in November, will
then be prevented. How much this has
been practiced almost staggers belief.
We will give the excess of the vote over
the voting strength, according to the
late census, as it is presented in IL few
Counties

The NORTH POLAR EXPEDITION. Capt.
Hall, commanding the United States ex-
pedition to the Polar regions. has ad-
dressed an interesting letter to the Sec
retary of the Navy. AS the commander
hints, it may be the last Communication
we shall receive from him for several
years. On the 9th of August, 1871,
the Polaris steamed out from Tossac,
Greenland, in charge of an experienced
pilot, and accompanied by Gov. Elberg
and other officials of the Danish Govern
ment. After the vessel had been con-
Quoted out into deep water, the pilot and
Gov. Elberg left, bringing with them
the despatch we now publish. Tossao is
the last or most Northern port known to
the civilized world, and in leaving it,
Capt. Hall stated they were leaving be-
hind civilization, and, with "God be
with rs" as an adieu from the captain,
the gallant vessel steamed on her course
OF discovery and exploration.

FoR GOVERNOR, GEN. NJ. G. BUTLER
We do not think it possible for any man,
with the good of South Carolina at
heart, to entertain for O moment the
dates for Governor now offered by the
two wings of the Republican party.
Therefore, seeing no prospect for reform
in that party, we will go outside of the
Republican ranks. aud support for Go
vernon that gallant soldier and true
hearted Carolinian, Gen. NJ. G. Butler.
If elected, he will serve with true fidelity
to his oath of Office, and discharge the
duties thereby imposed upon him fairly
and impartially to every man, without
regard to race or color. If lie is de-
feated, we will have the satisfaction of
knowing that we cast our vote for an
honest man and gentleman, and not
for profigate scnlawag plunderer or a
oarpot-bag bribe-taker.

WHAT THE NORTHERN PAPERS SAY OF

WHAT THE NORTHERN PAPERS SAY OF
THE ANTICS OF OUR RULERS If the pre-
cedents already furnished by differences
Of opinion in Radical conventions in the
Southern States are followed, there will
be, without any doubt, an early calling
upon the President by the representa-
tives of the different factions in South
Carolina for tho purpose of soliciting his
conntenance to the views represented as
we'll as the men endorsed by the contend
ing factions. The burden of opinion
here is that the Administration will be
more apt to incline to the ''bolting"
Convention than to the Irregular" mas
much as the former insist that they re-
pudiate the policy Of fattening upon the
ruin OF the State, which tho Republican
party, altogether under the control of the
representatives of the Moses party, have
adopted as standard of political princi-
pie. There will, however, be no mani
festations from either side made at thi.
point until the President returns from
Long Branch. which, if the repairs now
being made at the executive mansion are
completed, will be between the Goth of
September and the 1st of October.

The RADICAL SPLIT IN SoUTI CARO-
L1NA-How STANDS GRASr?-How far
this split in the party may tend to break
up the organization in the State, or to
give the Conservatives chance in the
future, remains to be seen. The Bolt
ers' Convention was not large one,
there being only about fifty delegates
present. Bot two -thirds of these were
negroes, which is O significant fact,
showing that there is q break in the CO.
lored phalanx. Tue parties of both
Conventions claim to be pure Repubi-
cans, supporters of the Administration,
and in favor of the reelection of Gen.
Grant. Which will the Administration
endorse? Probably it will play the CO.
quette, and exclaim, ''How happy could
I be with either" till after the Presiden-
tial election. We thiuk the split for
tunate one for that understanding aud
negro-ridden State, and hope it may
lead to thorough reformation.

The BoLTRRs LACKING IN PLUCK. The
vast majority of the carpet-bag party in
South Carolina, and the consequent
sense of impunity felt by its leaders,
have brought about spirit of insolent
lawlessness which may be strong enough
to wreck the organization. The candi-
date for State Treasurer, on Saturday,
spoke with great candor of the thefts of
his friends and rivals, and certainly made
damaging statements. The Boilers
Convention, under Gov Orr, was rather
better composed than the rtgulnr one;
but as they have not sufficient pluck to
defy and repudiate the great central
source of corruption, they will accom-
plish nothing of importance. If any
thing is done for the suffering State, it
must be through the Liberal and Demo
cratic coalition. .-Ne,o York Tribune.

RADICAL KU KLUx. spirit OF
intolerance which the carpet baggers of
the South and mean whites of the North
have carefully bred in the negroes, is
cropping out in all directions. There
were many fragrant instances of it dur
ing the North Carolina campaign, where
negroes who were anxious to vote the
Liberal ticket were threatened, heaten
and even murdered. We commented
last week on the mobbing of Mr.. Saun-
ders, the colored Greeley champion at
the Cooper Institute debate. Since
then, We have had two moro cases re-
ported. George W. Julian, OF Indiana,
who has passed the greater part of his
lie IN the service Of the negro, and who
has certainly been as ardent worker
for his freedom and protection as Gar
rison or Phillips. was set upon by Grant
negroes at o town named Newport, in
Indiana, and driven from the stand by
the threatening appearance of rotten
eggs and rotten tomatoes. Ingratitude
is bad enough, but downright intimida-
ton is worse. The victim Of the latter
was one Tabbs Gross, negro, in Ohio,
who favOrs the election of Mr.. Greeley.
A committee of negroes called on Tabbs
and politely informed him that if he did
not leave the State in twenty-four hours
he would be killed. Tabbs fled in terror
and took refuge in the hospitable State
of Kentucky, where the white Demo
Gratis promised to protect him. For the
past twenty years. the Radicals have
been bowling for Stree speech" They
thought it was an outrage upon their
rights when, in old slavery times, Oh
lection was made to their going down
into the heart Of the South and pro-
claiming from tho house tops that it was
the duty of the slave to arm himself and
rise against his master. It was their
boast that any man could utter his senti-
ments in the free North, which was true
OF certain localities, but not OF Worces.
ter, Oberlin and other hot-beds of funati-
cism. It is not true now of any part of
the North. A colored man who desires
to vote for Greeley, Sumner, Julian.
Bird, Tilton, Cassius M. Clay and other
original anti.slavery men, has but to ex.
press that wish in public, and he runs
the risk of being mobbed and murdered.
