The intense heat prevailing throughout the
country is driving thousands to the usual
mountain and seaside resorts There lB con-
slant passage through this place Of persons
seeking the cool heights of the Blue Ridge,
and already Flat Rock and AshVille are
crowded with visitors. It is said that as
many as three hundred persons have gone to
the latter place since the season commenced.
Many find 1t pleasant to spend week or two
In Greenvllle before going higher up,, while
one good hotel, the Mansion House, where
every effort is made to make visitors COM
Portable. At price within the reach of all it
affords everything that reasonable man
could desire. On It's table Is variety of the
richest fruits, besides all the vegetables and
meats to be found in the market. No
person can say, when leaving the Mansion
House, that he has not had the worth of his
money.
The crops throughout the up-country are as
good as they have been for years. The rains
seem to have been equally suited to corn and
cotton, and both at present promise an abun'
dant yield. The prospect has not been 80 en-
couraglDg since the war. With the election OF
Horace Greeley, which no one up here doubts,
and with barns filed to overfowing, the peo-
pie will begin a career Of prosperity next year
unknown to them before.
Yesterday Greenville witnessed an impres.

cheering. Eleven townships, from which re-

Tne Radicals are looking blue and the Con-
servstives confident. The election has been
quiet and orderly. Both sides have polled a
heavy vote, and some negroes nave voted the
Conservative ticket. The Conservatives have
made large gain in this city through local
dissensions OF the Radicals.
The first returns received In this city, this
evening, were from Abbotsburg, Bladen
County. Tbs township gives Merrimon ma
jority, and gain of about forty over the vote
of 1870, when the Conservatives carried the
State by 5000 majority. Halifax County, which
In 1870 gave Radical majority of 1883, shows q
gain of one hundred for Merrimon. This Is
the strongest Radical county In the only
Radical district of the State, and the
Conservative gain Is regarded as q
very favorable indication. Northwest Town

There was vacancy In the last Congress
from the Fourth District of North Carolina,
and since the late Congressional election "a
new district has been created in the State ac-
cording to the new apportionment of Con-
gressmen based upon the CENSUS of 1870. or
the eight Congressional Districts Of

cred safe for the Democrats. The Second
District comprises the swamps and bsyous
of the northeastern portion of the State, and
Is strong hold OF Republicanlsm. The BAN
ner districts OF the Democracy have been the
seventh and eighth, lying in the western part
OF the State and comprising the tier Of counties
bordering on Tennessee. The points at which

made to colonIze negro voters from a9jo,n-

OF the recent political conflicts in North
Carolina, the most significant and the most
appropriate for present purposes of compari-
son Is that of 1870, In which, out of total
vote of LIE, 900, the Democrats obtained ma
jority Of between four and Ave thousand. In
49,
construction and its citizens laborlng under
political disabilities, Grant had majority Of
l2,0OG\out of vote of ls0, 900, and In 1871 the
proposal of State convention, which emanat-
ed from the Democratic leaders, but was un-
popular with the rank and file, was defeated
by about 5000. The total voting population OF
the State, according to the census OF 1870, Is
2l4, 900, which Is $4,000 more votes than have
ever been polled at any election since the
WAY. In each of the three contests above
mentioned, there have been from thirty thous'
aud to forty thousand silent voters, end two
thirds of them may safely be assumed to be
Conservatives. The Radicals, making politics
q trade, have in each campaign exhausted
every effort to bring out their full vote, and
the freedmen who compose that party have
been eager on every occasion to exercise their
newly-acqulred right of suffrage. The Demo
Gratis, on the contrary, have been more busily
