More About North Carolina.

Here Is the New York Ucrairs lat
rs, article about North Carolina:
Although the pollifiaus stIll insist
mon befogging the result in North
Cnrolina, each eide pcrsi'tcnly claim
ing the victory, it appears tolcrnbly GER
tain that the Democratic ticket has been
elected in the State, that the Democrats
have secured large majority in the
Legislature, thus gaining n United
States Senator in place of John Pool,
and that they have also carried ut least
five ont Of the eight Congressman. The
republicans are ny turns admitting and
DENYING their defeat. and government
officials are tclcgraphing to the depart
ments at WGTliN4on mysterious as
suranccs that an will yet 30 well. 1t
NAV be that these reports have two OBJ
iccis. the first TO break the force of tho
terrible blow inflicted olf the repnbl-
can cause IN the Presidential contest by
the North Carolina disaster, and the
second. to prepare the way for tamper-
inc with the figures, ii the vote be sUt-
Iliccntly close to warrant an attempt at'
fraud. But however this may be, and
whatever may be the actual result OF the
official count. it is certain that the large
Republican loss, the failure Of the anti
cipntcd twenty thousand majority, and
the closcncss of contest in which ev-
cry advantage that the patronage, mo-
ncy and the control of the machinery
of the election can give, was enjoyed
bv the republicans, will be just as dam
aging to the administration party rs
complete and total overthrow. At the
present moment the North Carolinw
election has given more strength to the
Greeley movement than it has received
from any event since the meeting OF the
Cincinnati Convention. Leaders who
have heretofore held alO0f from COM
hitting themselves on either side. may
now be expected to flock over by the
hundreds 10 the liberal ranks after Sum
ncr and Banks; and the effect among
the masses is seen in the anxiety with
which every politician strives to i'm
press upon his friends the belief that he
has always been on the Greeley side.
The administration republicans are be-
vCnd doubt prOportionatcly depressed.
and while they may affect to believe
that thcir disaster i, not so great rs it is
represented, they feel that their sup
posed power has received serious
check. and that they can no longer be
looked upon as invinciblc, even though
they should manage to drag their State
ticket through the official canvass, with
a small majority at its back.
