Election in North Carolina.

The Election in North Carolina which
took place on Thursday last has probably
resulted in the success of the ticket which
was supported by the Liberal Republicans
and Democrats. The accounts so far are
very conflicting, but we think there is no
doubt that this is the result, though not
by as large Majority as was at first claim
ed. In view of the fact that the whole
Election Machinery, the entire Federal and
State patronage, the Courts, the Military,
and the police, were all in the hands of the
administration, defeat of the Republican
party was hardly to be expected. Should
more full reports show that such is really
the fact, it will have q great influence OH
Elections in the other States.
LATER--Despatches received this morn
ing confirm the previous reports, and place
the Liberal Republican and Democratic
majority at 3 to 1000.
QUITE an earnest desire has been ex-
pressed by many persons to know which
side Senator Sumner would take in this
GTcSluenUldl contest. lie mas at last put
speculation at rest, by writing long
letter in which he declares himself for
Greeley and Brown.
General N. p. Banks of Mass, has been
the subject of various contradictory state
ments, and he has now ended all contro-
versy as to his position by letter, in reply
to an invitation to address Grant meet
ing, in which he states that he heartily ap-
proves of Greeley's nomination and says
"My duty to myself and to my county
requires me to give him support. can
not advocate before your friends differ
ent course which neither my judgment or
my heart approve"
The position which will be taken by Gov.
Curtin is now anxiously looked for. Both
parties claim his support and while one
party bring forward letters from his friends
positively asserting that he 4will support
Grant, other friends as firmly maintain that
he will support Greeley. His arrival is ex-
pected this week, and he will probably
shortly make known his sentiments, and
take an active part in the campaign.

Political Feeling South.

A correspondent Of the Christian Union
reports the following conversation which
took place between himself and Southern
planter, as illustrative of the political feel
ing among the darkies in the South!
"There is Scowling," said Mr.. b., point
ing to the foreman over gang of hun
dred hands in a rice field ~ consider
him one of my most reliable, trustworthy
men. He knows me well, and l really
think he would do anything would ask
him except vote for me and if he had his
own choice he would do that but as mat
ters stand now it would be as much as his
life is worth to attempt it. He would vote
in preference for the verest rascal in the
district-one whom he kneto to be such
provided he called himself Republican.
Although do not know that have sin
gle personal enemy amoug them, / could
not count on more than eight votes out all
the men employ" Mr.. b. never NEEDLES
in politics, and these remarks were made
in reply to my question as to what, chance
he would stand were he to run for office.
To the question whether he "knew" Gen
eral Grant, Scowling replied, Vest sab, l
vote FIR um." "And you know Mr.. Lin
coln?" "Fader Abrum Alb, vest sah."
"And Mr.. Charles Summer" "No, sab,
nebber heered o. that gemman," "But you
know Mr.. Greeleye' "No, massa, neb-
Der did," Concerning the two latter
tried to aid his memory, but it was useless
he had nebber heerei, he said, and
could not find single man who had. |
Will venture to say that his case is identical
with that of four-fifths of his race in his
State. Scowllng struck the keynote.
Scowling," said Mr.. b. "just suppose /
was running for the Office Robert holds at
Columbia, and Republican ran against
me. Suppose you know he would lie and
steal whatever he could--which would you
vote for" He tried to evade .he point,
but upon Mr.. b. exhorting him "to tell
the TRUTH" he said, "You knows berry
well, Mas b., hasn't no d jections TO vo-
ting for you, but de rest wouldn't let me.

which he named Maggie Haggerty. Short

of that town, interviewed the owner of the

naming the mare after her, was an insult

Buried, and Yet Lives.

About the 10th ult. a young man was
found in New York city suffering from
sunstroke, and taken to Bellevue Hospital,
where he gave his name and residence as
John Bowerschmidt, of No 1913 Rivington
street. On the following day or the next
he died, and the fact was made known to
the people living at the place indicated,
who took the body in charge, and on the
18th it was attended by large funeral
party and taken to the Lutheran Cemetery
for interment. On arriving there the body
was placed in the receiving-vault until a
grave should be prepared, and the friends
retired, with the understanding that the
body should be placed in it's final resting
place on Thursday last when some of them
were to be present to attend its burial.
On Thursday the officers of the cemetery
were informed that the family had received
letter from John Bowerschmidt, which
stated that he was living in another State,
was in good health, and had not been sick,
and was anxious to learn what was meant
by the notice of his death that appeared in
the New York papers. They, however,
secured n place of burial for the unknown
in the public ground, and the body was in
tered therein on the 25th ult.

Terrible FIoad.

A letter from Keokuk, ILL.,, describes a
flood which visited that city on the Goth ult.
For four hours, from seven in the evening
to about eleven at night, the rain came
down in torrents, flooding nearly every eel
lar in the business portion of the city and
causing great damage and loss, as many
were stored with provisions. Throughout
the whole city the yards, gardens, and Gel
lars of residences were flooded and in seve-
raj instances families were obliged to va
cate the first floor of their dwellings and
seek refuge in the upper stories. Among
the stables which were washed away was
one containing valuable trotting horse,
the owner having had no time to set him at
liberty. Several attempts were made to
release him, but none proved successful
until two men, having launched small
skiff which happened to be near by, sue
ceeded after much trouble and risk, in
gaining the roof of the floating barn, where
with an axe they cut an opening through
the roof, and jumping down into She stable
succeeded in cutting the halter which held
the poor horse prisoner.
No sooner did the animal find himself
free than he Immediately swan ashore

Singular Doings of Lightning.

The Chester Democrat records the follow
ing remarkable freak of lightning which
occurred a few evenings since to former
resident of Delaware county: On the even
ing in question Mr.. j. Ford, of Brandy
wine Hundred, Del, was taking his fam
lily out riding in two-horse carriage when
the party was overtaken by thunder
storm Mrs Ford sat on the back seat OF
the carriage with her little son, some four
or five years old, upon her lap. The light
mig struck Mrs. Ford's hat, set fire to the
ribbons which encircled it, and burnt a
extinguished. The electric fluid also scar
red her nose and stunned her, the horses
become frightened at the terrible clap of
thunder that Immediately followed the
lightning, and become unmanageable, but
were finally brought under control by the
skillful management of the driver. 1t is
strange, but nevertheless true, no one in
the carriage was seriously injured. The
hat, which we had shown us since the oc-
currence, had wire band around it. We
consider this one of the most eccentric
freaks of lightning and the most remarka-
BILE escape from its fatal effects on record.
Ia An Oshkosh paper says: A ludicrous
occurrence took place ON the day of the fire,
which caused considerable excitement on
Main street, just south of Church street.
While everybody was busy putting out the
falling sparks, suddenly the screams of a
woman were heard above the surrounding g
din, and she came running along the side
walk with her hustle all on fire. 1t was
composed of paper or rags and burned
rather lively.
The woman ran and screamed, small
boys and dogs got out Of the way in hur-
ry, while strong men were SO overcome by
the excitement of the occasion as not to
have many wits at their disposal. At
length man, bolder than the rest, grabbed
the woman and beat her hustle until he put
the fire out. The fire had not quite reach
cd the flesh, and besides severe scare, a
burnt dress aud very tickled crowd of
spectators the lady came out uninjured.

POLITICAL bummers are not slow TO
perceive the prospective strength of any
"new departure" in the political world,
and are always prompt enough to fall into
line when victorious advance is to be
made. They are beginning to look out for
themselves, and by the close of the present
week great cry will come UP from the
ranks Of the administration supporters
"sauue qmipemt, and all except the actual
incumbents of office will hasten to give in
their adhesion to this Liberal Movement.-
Enquirer.
We propose to put some of these exceed
ingly wise Vaccinations upon record, so that
it shall not be said of the mighty prophets
we have among us, that they are without
honor in their own country. Prophetic
inspiration is good. 1t tops the poetic,
and rises to be the interpreter of the gods.
To Cassandra it was fatal gift, but only
so because nobody believed her while liv-
ing-the unfortunate predicament in which
our own school of prophets find themselves
at this time. But they are fortunate in
this, that they have only until the sclose
of the present week" in which to make
their prophetic visions good. A great cry
with possibly very little wool is then to
come up in the land, equal no doubt to the
blast of rams horns at Jerico, and
such stampede from the ranks of the adj
minstration is to follow, as hasn't been
seen since the memorable walls of that
shaky city tumbled into ruins before the
prophetic horn-blowers that footed there
about. On Saturday, at farthest, we shall
expect to hear the wild "sauoe qui peut,"
or Observation-Disclosures cry of these
administration supporters" and, if it
don't come, we shall set our contemporary
down as neither a prophet nor the son of a
prophet, but the merest "son of q gun" at
prophetic inspiration.

over this ''pro-di-gi-ous egg" as Dominic
Sampson would say. When we see the
once grand and historic party of the Democ-
racy, heavily stricken by misfortune, yet
wisely and greatly turning its attention to
this Cincinnati movement" and patiently
waiting for something to turn up" we
mstinctively feel the greatness of Dickens
in creating an ideal character that pervades
all nature, and that is no less illustrous in
individual strength than collective capacity.
Micawberism is no ideal monstrosity, but
the full essence of a thousand collective
instances conferred in one party, il not in
one man.
