The Election i71 North
Carolina.

All eyes are now turned to the Old
North State. Both parties admit that
the result of the elections here will have
material effect upon the Presidential
campaign.
The Conservatives, however, would
not lose as much by defeat as the Re
publicans, from the fact that the State,
With but one exception, has always gone
Republican since the war, by very large
majorities.
It will take time for the final result to
be known, on account of the remotencss
of some of the Western Counties, but IN
to this time the Conservatives arc ahead
1t is certain that the Legislature will be
largely Conservative, and evenif the coun-
ties which have not yet been heard from,
should SO change the present majority for
Merrimon us to elect Caldwell, the Con
s servatives would still be victorious.
The Conservatives are also ahead in
Congressional representation.
The Gubernatorial contest is very
close, and as yet doubtful, although we
have every reason to hope, from present
indications, that Judge Mcrrimon is
n1ootoI
When we. consider that North Carroll
na has almost invariably gone Republican
heretofore, ly from nine to twenty thou
rnnd majority, we could really afford to
let the Radicals have the Gubcrnatorial
Office by two or three thousand majority,
and still be joyful over what has already
been accomplished. North Carolina
has been redeemed. The Radical de-
mons who have been tyranizing over and
blundering a helpless people without
mercy, arc now checked in their base
villainy.
And further thar this, the effect of
the immense Conservative gain over
the last election, has been to bring thou
sands of Republicans over to the cause
of Liberalism, which means Peace, Union
Reconciliation.
The campaign in North Carolina will
show us how hard it is to restore the lib
critics of people when once crushcd,
and inspire us with the importance of
"etcrnal vigilance"
The duty of the Conservatives, from
now until the election of Greeley, is COM
pretended in one word-WORII.

one or two estimates Of the cost of pro-

acre of cotton, cultivated respectively by
Mr.. John L. Moorer and Laurence r:

practical and successful farmers. There
may be, and doubtless are, many others,
who have been equally successful whose
experience would encourage and stimu-
late those planters less fortunate than
themselves. These estimates are made
upon the basis of an acre yielding 500

JOCKEYEO.-Several Of our citizens
on Friday last were en- tice1 into Milwaukee.
through inducements held out by the papers
OF that city, to witness some trotting on
Cold Spring course by Goldsmith Maid and
other celebrated horses When they got
inside the enclosure and of course had paid
their money, they were politely informed
that the Maid would not appear on the track
owing to lameness, or something else. All
our friends received to pay them for their
trouble and expense Of travelling IS miles
was scrub race or two between some or
binary horses not worth going dozen rods
to see, Their case was experienced by some
two thousand others, many of whom had
come hundreds of miles to see Goldsmith
Maid make some of her fast time. It is
unnecessary to state that curses loud and
deep went up against the perpetrators of so
hagrant an outrage. We are glad to see that
the Milwaukee Press is unanimous in it's
condemnation OF the affair, but Just where
the blame rests has not yet been determi r ed
whoever L accountable for Il ira nssct on
SO TiitAIno Is should DE held up to the exc
Grafton OF every one sutferna; from he de-

BADGER GIRL.-One of the best

For this race were entered Badger Girl,
owned by J S. Rowell OF Beaver Dam, Kate

Maid. Badger Girl was the winner Time,
2,3l4. 2,324, 2.33. The successful horse is
green on the tu'f, having been in training
only one year. Badger Girl was bred by
A H. Medburry, Of Oak Grove, Dodge Coun
ty, sired by Black Flying Cloud, and is six
years old. She is claimed by good judges
to be the most promising young trotter iu
the west. We are glad to learn that good
breeders are beginning TO appreciate the
Flying Cloud stock. Much of this stock is
to be found in this section, and the ami
mails are highly priced by their owners for
their good qualities in point of style, en-
durance, speed aud strength. There is no
fine, high-priced entlemen's drivers, and
trotterB, than any stallion that ever came
ioto Wisconsin. Flying Cloud is still in
his prime, and as valuable as ever. He is
owned by Nj. D. J. Woodland, of this city,
and Mr.. G. Vroman, Of Monterey, where he
is now kept.

GREELEY ON Sour BEER.- We

beer sours so quickly in hot weather, which

is that the hops are generally dug while
green. If they were lett in the ground

about sour beer. Stale Graham bread crusts
are good substitute for hops. Give them
