NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

New YoRK, August GA special to
the Times from Raleigh, N. c., claims
that seventy-four counties heard from,
unoficially, give Caldwell majority of
1894 and seventeen counties still to be
heard from. These seventeen counties
gave Democratic majority in 1870 of
l742, and if the vote Of 1870 is main
tanned, Merriman is elected by 308. The
special thinks the Republicans will gain
600 in the counties to be heard from,
which will elect Caldwell by 300 majority.
The Tribune says ampler details of
the Liberal victory in North Carolina
confirm the previous reports. Even if the
Liberals should lose as much in the
counties yet to be heard from as in any
so far heard from, they would still have
a small majority, while if they gain as
heavily as they have in other western
counties the majority will be very large.
The triumph is indeed brilliant and sig
ni6cant.
The Tribune this morning published
the following:
HEADQUARTERS NEW YORK LIBERAL
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AsToR HOUSE, August 5. )
To the Liberal Republicans of the State of New
York:
A just cause supports you good It'd
ings inspire you, and strong as you are
your strength is not yet fully developed.
Your sister States are emulating you;
Maine hopes to rival you; North Caro-
lima should stimulate you. Organize in
every school district, town ana county.
Organize, and organize at once. More
than one-third of the Republican cleo
tors who cast their votes in 1868 for U.
s. Grant are securely advanced now in
1872 to the sure footing Of the Cincinnati
platform. The Liberal Republicans of
the home and State of Horace Greeley
move forward.

FOR PRESIDENT,

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,

To THE coLoRRD VOTERS.

The St. Louis Republican gives sound
advice to the colored man in the follow
ing editorial, which we republish, be-
lieving that in Shelby county the idea OF
negro domination and Radical rule has
beeu abandoned since the overwhelming
defeat of last Thursday: Every intel
licent colored man knows that since the
termination of the war the South has
been infested with gang of political
adventures from the North, having no
sympathy with the native born inhablt-
ants of either race, and seeking only to
create antagonism between the two In
order to obtain for themselves the hon.
ors Of Office and the chance for
pluuder. If the whole of the carpet
bag fraternity were driven across Mason
and Dixons line, or into the guilt and
the South left exclusively in the hands
of those who belong to the soil, and all
the difficulties which now encompass the
political and social situation there would
be amicably adjusted before the expira-
ton of three years. The whites under
stand this thoroughly, and are anxious
to begin the work of reconciliation,
which is and must be the sole basis OF
solid and enduring reconstruction.
Heretofore circumstances have been I'M
favorable for the initiation of a com
promise which promises to accom-
plish so much-nOlo the path Is
open and swept clear Of all OBJ
stacles. The Democratic party have
Endorsed the Liberal nominees and
placed at the head of their ticket man
whose lifelong devotion to the colored
people has never been called in question.
The record of Horace Greeley on this
point is too we'll known to require a
word of comment The whites of the
South have accepted him cordially, and
they ask the blacks to join with them in
securing his election. If the latter will
take the hand thus held out, work side by
side with the former in the contest, which
is sure to end in glorious triumph, the
treaty of friendships signed and sealed.
The two races are thenceforth bound to-
gether by indissoluble ties preju-
dices and jealouses will gradually but
surely melt away; an era of peace and
good feeling will be insugurated, and
both races can unite in restoring the
South to that political and commercial
position which justly belongs to her
and which she never can regain until
such an alliance is consummated. One
mistaken notion had, at any rate, better
be abandoned at once. The colored
element does not hold the balance of
power in the Presidential struggle. In
North Carolina it was thrown nearly
solid for the Radical candidates, yet the
State has gone for the Conservative
ticket by substantial majority. Gree
ley can afford to give Grant every col
ored vote North and South, and yet be
elected. He can easily get along with
out them; can they get along as easily
without him, and without those inAu.

VIOLENCE I'm Indiana.

CINCINNATI, August ga special
from Richmond, Indiana, says there is
great excitement there, occasioned by
the shooting of German named Ebbler
by a negro for hurrahing fot Greeley.
Fears of further violence are enter
tanned.
A meeting of German Catholics was
held in this city last night, at which
speeches we're made and resolutions
passed severely condemning the action
of the German Empire in the expulsion
Of the Society Of Jesuits from that realm.
The resolutions we're forwarded to the
Emperor William and his Chancellor.

SHOOTING ScRAPE.-Yesterday evening
two negroes had difficulty in the alley
between Beal and fernando streets,
which eliminated in little pistol prac-
tice on the part of one of them. Three
shots we're fred at the fleeing adversary,
and every shot went across Desoto
street at the time that funeral process
sion was passing. One ball reached its
destination and found Judgment in the
negros arm, inhicting a slight wound.
No arrest has been made.

ARRAY at CoIdwater.

While Logan & Cusick's Indian and
Variety Show was giving performance
at Coldwater, Mississippi, last Friday, a
man named Gus Larrantree entered the
dressing-room attached to the tent and
made himself very offensive to the ladies
attached to the show. An Indian half
breed named Moses Jemison, whose wife
and sister were among the number an
noyed by Larrantree. ordered the man
out of the tent, but he refused to go, and
becoming more insulting, Jemison
knocked him down with his fist and
kicked him out. Larrantree, who was
drunk at the time, was formerly we'll
known here to the frequenters of the
Washington Street Varieties as one Of
the burnt corkites. His injuries are con-
sidered serious. Jemison was arrested
here yesterday, and this morning Re-
corder Winters sent him to Jail for
twenty days in default Of bond. Jemison
claims that he was justified in what he
did.

ACCIDENT Oh THE RoAD.-Msjor Han

with serious accident while out driving
last evening near Central Point. The

extricate himself from the reins. He
was considerably bruised, but not seri-

TT is our conviction that if Grant is re-
elected, Sumner, Schurz, Greeley, and the
rest of tho Liberal leaders will be inmates
of Fort Lafayette or the Dry Tortugas be-
fore next Christmas. Why not? They
will be accused of having raised the stand
ard of revolt against His Imperial Majesty
the charge can not be denied, and with
the power, the will will not be wanting in
that sluggish bosom to inflct condign pun
ishment.- Wig. . ....
A cheaper and more expeditions way Of
disposing of Sumner, Schurz, Greeley, and
the rest of the Liberal leaders, Gncluding
the Whig,) would be to send them off to
the Dry Tortugas before election. Then
His Imperial Majesty" would be entirely
relieved from the small but annoying flu
sillade" which he is constantly undergo
ing from these bear-skin grenadiers. But
really, tho campaign degenerates into the
smallest kind of small beer and small pot
house rotations, when such absurd stuff as
this is passed around as political Journal.

THERE is some discussion rs to what the
Baltimore Convention shall do with the
Cincinnati ticket. Shall it indorse the
ticket or not Some think it would be best
Scr the Convention to act openly and frank
ly, and, not seeking to veil its real wishes,
to indorse heartily and positively the Gin
cinnati nominees. Others contend that that
course would only furnish capital to the
Grant party, which would at once fix upon
the Liberal movement the name "Demo-
cratic, go its serious injury.-Dispdtch.
When tho opponents of General Grant
get to that pass that they dispute about
what alias they shall appear under before
the public, their strait must be a despcr-
ate one indeed. aRogues are usually more
discreet than this, and have any number of
aliases to suit the exigencies or straits
they may be in. Greeley has heretofore
had good deal to say about "man as
man." and as to his dignity and honor,
when coming up to that magnificent stand
ard of recognition. But Democrat as a
Democratic is something that gives Horace
an exceedingly .wry face at this time, if it
does not trouble our neighbor of the Dis
patch with similar facial contortons. But,
no matter what you call it,-the new fill
clustering party,--it will no sooner get out
of its shell the first of November, than its
Intellectual peep will sec ure it the cognomen
by which it will be known in history,
namely-Me party that died before ii
| peeped.

IL the Baltimore Convention should in
dorse that Of Cincinnati, and ratify its nom
nations, the very name of the Democratic
party will become extinct before the CAM
paign closes. 1t will be the funeral OBJ
sequies Of party that has been grandly
historic in the past, think what we may of
it in its present attitude before the country.
We should regret the death Of the Demo
cratic party, for it has struggled hard for
existence in the last eight or ten years, and
in the principles it has advocated has so am
tagonized with the Republican party as
sharply to strike out and define the more
genuine principles of government which lie
between the extremes Of both contestants.

WE learn from the Baltimore Star that
the workmen of that city are showing a
degree of good sense and moderation
which does them infinite credit. Instead
of getting up strikes they are holding meet
ings for consultation and asking the employ
ers to participate. The plasterers have form
ed an association, to which the bosses"
are admitted, having for its object the decis-
sion of all questions arising between tho
laborer and employer by committees of
arbitration. The bricklayers at a meeting
last night adopted a resolution that strike
at this time would be fraught with great
inconvenience to both employer and en-
ploye, and that it was best to await the
action of the next legislature upon the ques-
ton of the eight hour law. 5ss e

are the daily bulletins announcing that the

THERE is great dissatisfaction among the
Democracy Of West Virginia over the action
of the late Parkersburg nominating conven-
ton. Many Of their papers openly charge
that Camden bought the gubernatorial
nomination. Governor Jacob, they say,
was and is the undoubted choice of the
West Virginia Democracy for reelection to
the office which he now fills. A good
sized bolt is probable, and the election of a
Republican Governor possible. .
