ors OF the steamer Emperor, which was wrecked
on Seal Island on the 2Sth inst. They report
that the passengers and seamen lost everything
they possessed, exceptwhat they stood in. They
stated that it was very foggy when the steamer
struck, and the accident is partly attributed to
the compass not working well from some cause or
other. The points in the dispatch of yesterday
are very correct in every particular, and there is
little more to be added. The sailors were gen.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The election in North Carolina is TO take
place next Thursday. As the earliest trial of
strength during the campaign it arouses ex-
traordinary interest all through the country;
vet it is not to be fair and square contest
between the Liberal and Radical parties. The
rival tickets were nominated and the State
issues made up before the Liberal and Dem
ocratic alliance took shape. The Republicans
met in Convention at Raleigh, on the nth of
April, and renomnated for Governor Mr.. T. r.
Caldwell. The Conservatives met at Green's
boro, on the 1st of May, and nominated
a straight Democratic ticket headed by
A. S. MerTimon. The Liberal Repub-
lcans held no Convention, and are not
represented on the anh-AdministratiOn
ticket, their support of which has consequently
perhaps been less hearty than it would have
been had it been made up later and with due
regard to their claims. 1t is a good ticket, and
many of the Liberals will probably vote for
il: but there is no question that a great num-
ber of Republicans who intend to support
Greeley and Brown in November will adhere
to Gov. Caldwell on the local issue. They see
in the State Summer campaign nothing but
an issue between Republicanism and Democ-
racv. while on the Presidential question they
understand that the contest is to be fought
on much broader grounds and under very diff
ferent conditions. Hence the result next
Thursday will not be a measure of the
strength of the new party; for the new party,
properly speaking, is not IN the field. Our
friends are conducting the campaign nobly;
they are opposing the most enormous expen-
diture of Federal money, influence, intimida-
ton, and patronage, and they have we'll
founded hopes of victory; but even if they
should be defeated now they know that when
they rally in November, under the banner Of
the new alliance, they can easily sweep the
State.
On the other hand defeat of the Grant
partv now would be equivalent to a total rout.
They have everything in their favor in North
Carolina. Our side has not yet organized

Administration has expended its whole strength
in North Carolina, well knowing that If 1t
cannot carry that State it cannot carry any
thing. Victory there will leave Grants
chances about what they are at present,
neither much better nor much worse; but de-

New-York tribune., 1872-07-30
JOHN THOMAS.

The public will be interested to learn that
John Thomas employed himself on SATURDAY
in tho high-toned and genteel occupations ior
which he has long manifested such q peculiar
fitness. The practice of a lifetime listening at
key-boles and opening his masters letters has
not been thrown away, and often as he has
been kicked for his curiosity he was able last
week to trespass on q private gentleman's
premises at Chappaqua, mingle unbldden
among the guests, report the conversation,
and ridcule the entertanment-nay, even to
write out the story Of his own vulgarty-
with the most serene composure imaginable.
1t is not every man who would like to tell the
world that in consequence of his intrusion and
misbehavior at gentlemans farm, the owner
of the property had been obliged to request
his friends not to come there. lest they might
be insulted but John Thomas has a soul
below ordinary footmen, and he really seems
to like the disgrace.
After forcing himself upon this gentle
mans hospitality last Saturday, he told us
that his host wore "ingeniously filthy linen,"
trowsers "a trife shorter than those he
"wOre at previous receptions" shoes with
ga subdued air quite appropriate to the
OCCASION and hat that /" bore unmis-
"takabe marks of renovation" The COM
pany was taken about the farm, and returned
"mOre exhausted than edi6ed.n At dinner,
Mr.. - of Texas "spoke very affecting"
The visitors were numerous but obscure"
The entertainment succeeded in being decor
"ous at the expense of being excessively dull"
The "suppies" were "scanty.n Some persons
"made frantic rushes at the tables and, filling
"plates with edibles of every description,
"backed out of the way and gobbled their
contents like leafers at a free lunch" AT
last, slowly, sadly, and tearfully, the entire
"party filed out of the premises" and as they
went away they remembered the good meals
"served up there" This is delightful. There
is no better proof of good breeding than to go
to private party where you are not invited
and know you are unwelcome, and then to
make fun of the host and quarrel with the
refreshments. John Thomas reminds us more
and more every day of his great exemplar,
"eliowplush: 81 may be illygitmit," says that
celebrated character, - may have been
" changed at nuss but I've always had
" "genlmnly tastes through life, and have no
doubt that | come of genlmnly origum."
New-York tribune., 1872-07-30

persons who have instigated and contaminated
it. A fugitive from Spain mayIIbe seized IN
New York or San Francisco by Mr. Uriarte,
provided he can make the work an object to
willing detectives, robbed, incarcerated or
taken out Of the country, at the will Of the
Spanish officials. Because, under Mr.. Fish's
ruling, he cannot even look into the matter
unless the Spanish Minister brings it to his
notice. The President agrees with Mr.. Fish,
and so that is tho end Of the matter.
Now Pereda may OF may not be guilty OF
stealing from the Spanish Government. He
has never been tried anywhere; and, until
tried he must be presumed to be innocent.
But the question of his guilt has nothing to
do with the case. His kidnapping and the
subsequent proceedings were as destitute OF
shadow of law as the hanging of an alleged
horse by an Arkansas mob. Urlarte had
no right to order the arrest or detention of
Pereda by the detective Lees and Chief
Crowley. The United States Courts were
open to him, and if there was no recourse
there he had none in the courts at all, for
we have no extradition treaty with Spain.
Refugees from Cuban persecution are as liable
to Uriarte's edicts in this city as they are IN
San Francisco and our admirably managed
State Department has established the rule
that United States authorities can take no
notice of the proceedings unless they are
brought to its notice by the officials most
interested in hushing up the affair. If there
be any fine-spun theories of law which make
it possible that such an outrage as that per-
petrated in San Francisco can be repeated at
will, they should be understood Even
reputed thief has right TO trial by jury.
We cannot afford TO let foreign governments
arrest and carry off their fugitive subjects in
the United States without due process of law,
although our Secretary of State may think 1t
is all right.
