The North Carolina Election.

The bright prospects for the Republican
ticket in North Carolina have exasperated
the Democrats to charge all manner of
frauds. &c. Beck, of Kentucky, started
silly story about the Marshal having a cor
ruption fund at his disposal. Mr.. Crapsy,
of the New York Times, telegraphs as fol-
lows from Raleigh on the 16th
This morning a letter is published from
Marshal Carrow to Hon. J. b. Beck, which
disposes of that falsehood. From this let
ter it appears Carrow has drawn from the
United States Treasury during the last fif-
teen months S2l4 ,271, all of which, except
sec, 1867, was drawn in 1871. In the same
fifteen month Carrow has paid on account
of the expenses of the Federal Courts in
North Carolina S225,S1s for Spring Term,
Fall and Special Terms 1871 and Spring
Term 1872. Every dollar drawn has been
certified by Hon. George w. Brooks, Unit
ed States Judge for North Carolina, whose
official conduct has never been questioned.
The large expenses of the court are due to
largely increased business, caused by the
of the KukluX and the perpe-
traitors of frauds upon internal revenue. III
these cases, besides prisoners, thousands of
witnesses have been transported to the
place where the court was held, and sub
sisted there by the Government, large
of them being in the interest of
prisoners. Carrow says Beck knew of all
these facts when he charged that money
had been drawn from the United States
Treasury to be used here for election pur-

The Coal Fields of England.

In recent lecture by geologist engaged
on the Royal coal commission, the opinion
land had originally been Joined together
in one large area, but that by various
changes, such as downthrow, the various
fields had been separated. The interven-
ing spaces, it had been conjectured, cover
ed coal, which, however, was buried so
deep that it could not be worked with pro-
fit. 1t was asserted that considerably more
coal lay concealed at workable depths than
appeared in the fields. The South Stat
fordshire field, it was asserted, contained
3,20l ,672, PIG tons of coal the Warwick
shire, $3.50, 714 tons, and the Leicester
shire, $50, 799,735 tons, making a total of
4,497, l24 1854 tons. Underneath the Per-
milan strata of rock of the above fields it is
estimated that there are to be found a.
664, 100000 tons of coal.

4 Charge Which Cannot be Denied.

The Cleveland Daily Leader reminds
the public of the fact which ought not to
be lost sight of,and which is of some infer
est in its bearings on the present political
contest
1.-THE New York rib ne, which was
and is now, under the supreme editorial
control Of Horace Greeley, accepted from
Tweed, Connolly, Mayor Hall & Co., o
New York City advertising contract, rang
ing from $4,000 to 100000 per annuII,
with the tacit understanding that the ri
du11e was to say nothing about the gigantic
expenses of the city government and
frauds of the above named managers. The
ribuoe kept its part of the contract till it
was compelled to speak out by the tremen-
dous force ofpublic opinion, six weeks af-
ter the Times made its expose of the fact
that the Tammany Ring had stolen $780,
100000 from the public treasury. Mr..
Greeley, as Tribune stakeholder, pocket
ed his share of the bride. Is it any wonder
that the Tammany thieves, Tweed, Con-
molly, Sweeny, Hall, Brennan, Wood and
the rest, should have celebrated the nomi-
nation of Greeley with rejoieings, as they
did yesterday pr

The Liberal Candidates to be Muzzled.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Post.I
WASHINGTON, July l5-The members
of the Democratic Committee here are
dissatisfied with that part of Mr.. Greeley's
New York speech where he said that he
was as much of a Republican as he ever
was. This they regard as very indiscreet,
and calculated to injure him with Demo-
Gratis while his additional declaration that
he considered them them to be as much
Democrats as ever will injure him with
the Republicans.
The speech of Mr.. B. Graft Brown at
New Haven the members of the Commit
tee consider to be as certain to do great
harm, on account of the parallel it sug-
gests with Ex-President Johnson's efforts
while " swinging around the circle" and
at his Inauguration speech.
The private opinion in the Committee is
understood to be that both Greeley and
Brown had better be kept as silent as pos
sible during the campaign.

Mr.. Summers Position.

Special Dispatch of the Cincinnati Gazette.l
WASHINGTON, July 15.-To meet the
difficulties expressed by Mr.. Sumner in the
way of his pronouncing himself for Gree
ley-namely, distrust of the Democracy in
regard to the fair treatment for the negroes
"a letter signed by near hundred people
has been prepared, asking his advice.
Those who send it are understood TO be in
the Greeley interest. Mr.. Sumner has not,
however, as yet determined on the nature
of his reply, nor has he decided what
course he will pursue, as he informed Sem
ator Wilson to day that no one had receiv-
ed any authority to speak for him or even
TO indicate his position. His hesitation is
affecting the Greeley men more and more
seriously every day, and in view of the ex-
of them have begun TO ridicule him so far
as to suggest that he be placed in charge Of

Boutwell, on Greeley's Financial Ideas.

In Secretary Boutwell's Raleigh, North
Carolina, speech on the 10th, he thus dis
poses of one of the chief of Greeley's fool
ish vagaries on the financial policy of the
Government:
For three years, Greeley, through the
columns of the "Tribune,n has advised
the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the
gold in the Treasury and apply the pro-
ceeds TO the payment of the public debt,
thus saving interest, and then to resume
specie payment. Or rather these two bits
of advice have been frequently and inter-
changeaby presented, without at any time
stating what in his judgment is entitled to
precedence in the order of events. But it
can very well be understood that the sale
of the gold in the Treasury, whether for
the payment of the public debt or other
wise, would put it out of the power of the
Government to resume specie payment
that the sale of the gold in the Treasury,
forcing down the price unnaturally, would
stimulate imports from other countries,
increase the balance of trade against us,
create an unnatural and excessive demand
for coin and ultimately advance the price
of gold for the benefit of spectators and
gamblers, but to the great injury of the
country. l do not hesitate to declare that
this policy, which is the onlypolicy in any
department of the Government to which
Greeley has adhered for over three years,
would end in disasters such as the country
has not witnessed since 1887, and if Gree
ley is pledged to anything it is the inau-
guration of this policy, if unhappily he
should be placed at the head of affairs.
The way to resume is not to resume arbi-
trarily and without regard to facts, but to
place and keep the country in that line
and condition of prosperity which shall
enable it to meet all its obligations. And
it is for this reason that the Admipistra-
ton has believed it to be wise to retain an
amount of gold which should be sufficient,
when the appropriate moment arrived, to
enable the Treasury to resume payment of
our national liabilities in specie without
making special effort for an undertaking
which would certainly result disastrously
if the Government were not strong enough
to move free of all dependence on exter-
nal aid

Republican State Convention.

At regularly called meeting on the 10th
day of July, 1872, of the Republican State
Executive Committee of Tennessee, it was
ordered by the Committee that Republi-
can State Convention be called, to meet in
the city of Nashville at II o'clock NJ, on
Wednesday, the 4th of September next,
for the purpose Of nominating a candidate
for Governor, as also candidate for Con-
gresham for the State at large, and the
transaction of such additional business as
may come before the Convention.
Therefore, and in pursuance of said Or
der, the Republicans in each county and
district in the State are requested to hold
their primary meetings and take such steps
as may be necessary to elect the required
number of delegates due to each county,
taking as basis the number of delegates
from each county in the late Republican
State Convention, held in the city of Nash
vile.

Boiling Democratic journals are multi
plying. The Terre Haute Qndiana) Jdur-
ltaL and the Seymore Democrat, leading
journals in Indiana, refuse TO support
Greeley. The Savannah (Georgia) NelOS
of the same party, says that Grant will
beat Greeley in that State. The Atlanta
Sun is also violently opposing Greeley, as
are scores of other good papers.
Senator Wilson said to reporter of the
Philadelphia Press: 1.-THE New York
Times reporter made mistake, in the
hurry of the interview, when he put me
down as saying that l would bet and had
advised my friends to bet on twenty-five
States. l never bet, don't believe in bett-
ing, nor advise any one to do so but / be-
lieve the Republican party will gain over
whelmingly in this contest, because the
country needs such a result"

s,,bsotl Plow.

It does seem little strange that
the value Of this implement is SO lit
tie known among our farmers. In
Britain it has come into almost uni
versal use, greatly to the advantage
Of the crops. On strong soils of a
clayey nature it is especially v,.lua-
bic. Were it used mora especially
on land intended for root crops, or
to be seeded down to grass, the far
,ners would have mnch complaint to
make Of losses from drought and
short crops. Properly constructed
the implement is strong, simple, and
easily worked, and less costly than
m ordinary pillow. The effect Of sub
selling can i'll great measure be at
tanned by using two common plows,
one Of them having the mould-board
and coulter removed q flrrow is
turned by the ordinary plow in the
usual manner. The other follows be-
bind, running in the furrow made by
the first, and merely lifting the soil
and breaking the hard-pan without
turning it. At the next rounl tbs
loosened soil is covered by the fur
row slice of the first pillow, leaving a
deep mellow seed bed for the roots
Of the crop that follows to luxuriate
in. On light soils and those natur-
ally deep and friable, subsoiling is OF
less benefit than on heavier ones,
that are more liable to pack and
form hard pan through the action
of the sole of the common plow pass
ing frequently over at the same "a!
depth. The operation Of subsoiling
needs only to be gone through with
in most cases once in a rotation, say
every five years. Still, if it can lie
done oftener, so much the better.
