Mr.. MERRIMAS claims to be elected
Governor of North Carolina by a ma
jority of from five hundred to one
thousand. The election is so close that
an official count will have to be had in
order to decide the great contest. The
count will be made by Radicals, conse-
quenily we may expect swindle and a
fraud. Let the count 60 as it may, the
contest in North Carolina forerhadows
the rout of the Grant party in Novem-
her.

DR.. PETERMAEN, the famous German
geographer, has again reopened the con-
troversy as to the locality of that an
cient 0phir, whence Solomon derived
SO much. gold. The learned have for
some time past been agreed in consider
ing Ophir as identified with India; but
DR.. Petermann says South Africa, whose
diamond fields have been discovered by
the German explorers Maurch, Merens-
ky, Grutrer and others. These contro-
.versies seem to possess perennial vital
ity, and return to life when the world is
congratulating itself upon their appa-
rent settlement. The Ophir controversy
is not the only one resurrected; we have
the site of the Garden Of Eden, the au-
thorship of Junius' Letters, the Man
with the Iron Mask, the source of the
Nile, the North Pole, the genuineness
of Ossian's poems, perpetual motion
and hundreds of others that puzzle the
brains of both believers aud unbelievers
in this the problematical age.

A bill has been introduced into the
British Parliament to prevent children
from performing as acrobats. This is q
desirable reform, and one which should
meet with general approval. The stunted,
suffering appearance Of the majority OF
children who tempt danger on the flying
trapeze must prevent the Intelligent
spectator from taking any pleasure in
witnessing their performances. The
little creatures usually appear in charge
Of some so-called professor, Of whom
they are In mortal terror. These chill
dren have as much right to the proteo-
ton Of the State as dumb animals, for
they are equally at the mercy Of tssif
owners.

The dismal plain Of satory continues
to be soaked with blood. A horrible
scene lately occurred at the execution Of
two felons-Baudoin and Rouillac. Both
men swore they would not have their
eyes bandaged, but would look death in
the face. When they were forcibly blind
folded at last, they tore the cloths VIC
lently off and pushed the soldiers away.
A correspondent says the scene was
shocking and unparalleled. The unhaap-
DIV wretches were at last overpowered by
sheer numbers. and not only blinded,
but forcibly dashed with strong cords to
the posts. They were shot almost to
pieces; yet, so firmly had they been tied,
that their bodies remained perfectly I'M
moved as they had been placed. Both
men rudely repulsed the priests who
sought TO console them, and both smoked
pipes and sang songs almost TO the last.

THE old North State is at present the
observed of all observers throughout the
United States. In May, l775, nearly
two years before the Declaration of In
dependence was published, the sons of
North Carolina drew up the famous
Mecklenburg protest against British
tyranny. In 1872, ninety-seven years
after, we ind the children of the North
State protesting against tyranny, as did
their fathers of yore. 1t was then King
George, it is ROW King Grant. The
news from Carolina is refreshing; it
sounds the death-knell Of oppressors and
plunderers. Her mountains, plains and
pine forests are re-echoing the shouts of
of victory. All hail to the sons of the
heroes of l775.
