Campaign Notes.

The position of Governor Curtin of
Pennsylvania, seems at last TO be settled.
He proposes to return to Pennsylvania
this month and take the stump for Grant.
The Scranton, Penn, Times (Dem.) says:
1--WE want to see more strategy displayed
by Democratic leaders in this campaign.
We want to see more animation in the
Democratic camp. Two weeks ago the
disorganized condition of the Radical par
ty at Luzerne gave assurance of a ajori-
ty of 5000. To-day well informed Demo-
Gratis are of opinion that 5000 is a very
liberal figure at which to put our county
Democratic majority"
At Grant meeting at OswegO, New
York, on the 30th ult., the principal
speakers were Democrats, and over twenty
Democrats of influence openly declared
for Grant i'll preference to Greeley.
The Mahoney Pa Valley journal, u
Labor Reform paper has come out for.
Grant and Wilson.
The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says
Summers letter to the negroes has an
gered many Democrats and troubled many
Liberal Republicans, as it is thought it
will ALLEVIATE Democrats in all parts of the
country who were nearly or quite derter-
mined to vote for Greeley. Some Liberal
Republicans say the Democrats it will
drive away will be more numerous than
the negroes it will win. $500

Father Garazzi ON Converts.

Rev. Father Gavazzi, the eminent STALL
all minister, in a recent lecture in st.
Louis, said;
Don't send your SONS, and particularly
don't send your daughters, to Roman
Catholic monasteries, converts, or nuneries
for education. Long and continued ap-
plause. Let Roman Catholics educate
their own children, and let PrOtestants ed
ucate their own children. Some foolish
Protestant parents send their children to
Roman Catholic schools; some because
they are cheaper and some because they
teach higher lessons. Yes, they are
cheapest, because they know their busi-
ness! You buy cheap, and you sell their
eternal souls. My dear friends, they are i'll
America to proselytize for Romanism and
nothing else. If they are dishonest to their
creed, their consciences and their educa-
ton, then what kind of honest education
can they give to your children? And if
they are honest to their cOnsciences, their
creed and their religion, then they must
convert your sons and daughters to Roman

MY DREAM.
BY IL. q.

dream of beautiful time
When the world shall happy be-
When elephants and hyenas
Shall blossom on every tree.
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar,
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the garden forevermore.
/ dream of a great Republic
Whose people shall all go West,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In the land they love the best
Where pig iron and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill,
And chickens low in the barnyard,
While gOoseberries toll at the mill.
Pm weary of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and hoe
I'm weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush to grow
l long for the time when the spinach
Shall cope with bread and milk;
When hens shall lay tomatoes
And horses spin raw silk.
Oh, sweet where the vanished hours
~ When L wandered down the glen,
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes
Or plucked the ripened hen;
When the donkey twined up the trellis.
And the cucumber chirped in the grass,
And the sweet potato whistled
To its mate in the mountain raSs.
But gone are the days of childhood
And manhood dreams are mine,
Yet | long fer the bygone hours
As sit meath the turkey vinc
Oh, wreatbe your blossoms about me,
And soothe my aching breast,
While the gooseberry plaintively warbIes
And lulls me into rest.

ALLIGAToRS KILLING TWO HOUNDS
AND A DEER.-A party of sportsmen who
were recently out on hunt for deer scared
up three in the vicinity of one of the bay
GUS of the Ogeechee, and succeeded in kill
ing two. The third made for the bayou as
the only means of escape. He had gone
into water but a short distance before he
was set up by two large alligators. The
water was not over three and half feet
deep, and the attack was in full view of the
sportsmen. The two hounds had followed
the deer, and were consequently drawn in
to the combat, which was most terrific and
bloody. The stag made a gallant defense
with his antlers and fore hOofs, but the fight
was unequal, and the water was soon
crimson with the blood of the noble animal
as he sank down in his death throes. The
dogs battled bravely in the contest with
the alligators, but they too had to yield to
the terrific onslaught of their enemy. The
spOrtsmen tried to get in some shots on the
alligators, but they could not and after
finishing their work the monsters glided
off. The sportsmen retured to the city
with the other deer, but the loss of their
valuable hounds marred all satisfaction in
contemplating the booty of their hunt

NORTH CAROLINA.

The Democratic majority in North
Carolina in 1870 was 1885, The delegation
in the present Congress stands five Demo-
Gratis to two Republicans. The last legisla-
ture stood A Democratic majority on joint
ballot.
1t is evident from the returns we publish
this morning from the Associated Press
Agent, that the reports of Democratic VIC
tory have been greatly exaggerated. From
six to ten thousand majority claimed for
Merrimon, yesterday, the agent last night
admitted that it would take official returns
to determine the result. From a confident
claim of large majority, he now simply
believes the State Democratic. The Asso-
ciated Press returns, we believe,
give the most favorable news
at hand for the Democracy,
and we therefore believe there is yet good
grounds for believing the election of Cald-
we'll Even if the State is Democratic, 1t
is by a reduced majority over the election
of 1870. The vote upon the Constitutional
Convention last year was not party test.
The last claim for Congressman was six
out of eight which would leave the dele
CATION as it now stands. The last claim
for the legislature was forty majority.
Even if true, it would be loss of four.
All these indications, based upon the most
favorable returns for the Democracy, we
look upon as hopeful. The returns given
from Wilmington, when examined, show
the following In sixteen counties, twelve
of which are Democratic, the Republicans
gain 1876, and the Democrats gain SD,
making an excess of Republican gains in
sixteen counties of 757. Upon this basis
the State is Republican. For these rea-
SONS, we do not concede North Carolina to
the Democrats, but shall wait for the OFF,
cial vote, believing the contest will be
very close and the majority either way
small. -- ..-.-
