NORTH CARoI1NA.-Day by day are the
frauds perpetrated at the late election in
North Carolina coming to light. Already
the condition of affairs are assuming such a
phase as to leave no doubt but what Merrmon
has received a legal majority, and will be
placed in the gubernatorial chair of North
Caroina by due process of law. It is how
ascertaincd beyond doubt that in only ten
counties there were 3, ,7S0 votes polled more
than the whole number of voters in said
counties. This alone is more than enough
to over-balance the majority which the Re-
publicans claim for the whole State, and
when the exact truth shall be made known,
it will be found that the Liberals and Dem
ocrats carried the State by some ten OF
fifteen thousand The Grant officials
finding that honest investigation is going 10
defeat them, uow threaten to imprison the
Secretary of State if he gives the certificate
of election to Merrimon, as has been rumored
is his intention.

NO WONDER.

A table of statistics has been carefully pre-
pared, showing the difference in the cost o
collecting the Internal Revenue in those
States where this duty devolves upor
carpet-bag officials and those where it is
collected by natives or respectable resi-
dents In the former the average per cent
of collecting, taking eight of the principal
States as standard is 1S5 per cent of the
whole amount of the taxes; while in the
latter the average cost is but 81 per cent
nearly. No wonder the down-trodden, op-
pressed people of the South extend the hand
Of greeting to honest old Horace Greeley,
when they so well know he never has been
known to go back on principle he once
advocated, and never ceases laboring for
for an object till that object becomes a fix
tue. Again, Horace Greeley and the people
of the South have opposed and abused each
other for nearly lifetime, but the points on
which they differed and the matters on which
they once disputed have for some years been
settled. The pen was not powerful enough
to decide these matters, and the musket and
the bayonct were resorted to- In this set
tlement, hcart-rending and deplorable as it
was the South was defeated and had to
succumb. The difference between Greeley
and the South through principle and not
hatred, is patent from the fact that no sooner
had the principles for which Mr.. Greeley had
contended become settled, than he turned
his pen, his energies and his money toward
relieving those same Southern States which
in the contest had become so complely strip
ped of everything tending to make life desr
able, even to their liberties and their rights
as citizens. A promise was made that their
rights, liberties and former privileges should
be restored. That promise has not been
made good, and it plainly appears that the
present Adminis,ra intends it shall not
be. Horace Greeley has labored for the
fufillment Of this promise, and now that he
seeks a position where he will have the
power to fulfill it, we say again is it any
wonder that the Southern people with every
honest man who desires to see the honesty
of the government and the integrity of the
nation maintained, should give their support
heart and hand to the Liberal candidates? D.?
