TIE DOOM OF GRANT.
What the Northern Newspapers Say Of
N the Result In North Carolina.

The following extracts fr0R art1cleS IN lead
Ing Northern Journals Of Friday, based on the
news from North Carolina, possess q striking
Interest at this time:
| ai-ae.'es From the New York Herald.l
: It seems Incredible that the administration
Republicans can have suffered defeat In q State
where every advantage has been on their side;
where they have concentrated gigantic efforts
to insure success; where they have held ma
jorltieS ever since the close OF the war, with
single exception, varying from nine to twenty
three thousand. Yet, as We have sald there
appears to have been steady increase thus
far In the Conservative majorlties over
the vote of 1870, and hence 1t ls not Inn
probable that the Stale may have de.
clared itself 10 advance Ia favor OF the Re.
l6rm movement in November. II this should
prove to be the case, 1t will no doubt be re-
garded generally as settling the Presidential
contest. Indeed. The Republicans, by the
vieor and bitterness of their canvass, have
signifed their conviction that defeat 10
North Carolina at this time would render their
ultimate success hopeless. Senator Wilson
himself has admitted In his speeches that the
election OF the Republican State ticket was
essential to the cause of President Grant-that
without 1t there would be little hope for the
administration. Under these circumstances,
and in view of the fact that the whole ma
chinery OF the election, the entire Federal and
State patronage, the courts, the military, the
police and The United States marshalB were In
the hands OF the Republicans, we cannot think
that the administration has been oVerthrown.
To credit such calamity would b, to believe
that the Presidential election Is destined TO be
deluge, sweeping away the existing powers
and making com plete revolution in the gov
ernment.
From the New York world.l
The surprising rescue OF North Carolina
from the clutches of the administration virtn-
ally decides the Presidential contest. 1t Will
ruIf CuUI uouo dripping "cu ofnnhrS,ou
the whole body of Grants supporters, extin,
gushing their confidence and sending colo
shIyer to The extremltes Of the party. Before
the month ends the Republican deserters VIII
be numbered by hundreds OF thousands. NO
Intelligent politician can now doubt that MT.
Greeley will be elected by greater majority
than was ever before given to an American
President, and the consequence OF this uniVer-
sal expectation will BIZ that multltudes VINO
have been held to Grant by ties Of Interest or
ambition will make haste to declare tor what
is certain to be the victorious party, Alter
this toretaste, all the hope, energy and spirit
of the Presidential canvass will be on tne
Greeley side, and the gloomy remainder OIL tne
Grant voyage-a voyage heading direct lor
Salt River-will abound In "shalloWs ana III
miserlee."
From the New York SUM-
The Liberal movement has swept the Slate
of North Carolina. With such result as.
sured it is immaterial whether the majority
will be ten or twenty thousand. The I'M
portant consideration Is that Grantism, which
In nepotlsm, robbery and official corruption,
Is doomed. The Old North State, the trst TO
pronounce herself since the campaign opened,
has spoken 10 no uncertain tones. Her voice
sounds the knell Of the party OF Addition,
Division and Silence, foretelling the utter
overthrow that awaits 1t In November, when
the people OF every State will rally to the
standard of the Honest Old Farmer OF Chap
paqus, and send him to the White House by
majority inferior only to that which made
Washington, at his first election, the nnani-
nous choice of the nation.
From the Philadelphia Press.l
North Carolina, always doubtful State,
has, after hotly contested battle, de-
clared against the Republican party. The
result at this writing ls not definitely
known, but the dispatches all fore
shadow q Democratic victory. But 1t will
not do to discount the effect OF this reverse.
The Republican party of the North, to win,
must work. The campaign this fall Will be no
sham battle. It will require the sternest reso.
luton and the greatest efforts to win. II
Grant is to be eiecled 1t must be by the votes
of the great Eastern, Middle and Western
States. Pennsylvania will be the turning
point of the struggle, and we find ourselves
crippled here by ticket unworthy Of our
party and Its cause.
