The North Carolina EIcction-Is 1t q
DclugC.

The election in North Carolina ap-
pears, fortunately, to have passed off
peacefully, so far at least as is known
up to the present time. Tho result
is yet in doubt, although tho indica.
tons point to an increased conscrva-
tive vote over that of 1870, when tho
democratic candidate for Attorney
General was elected by nearly 6vo
thousand majority. The counties
where the heaviest negro voto is poll
ed, and where facilities exist for
frauds such as have been charged as
in contemplation, have not yet bee I
heard from. At tho same time, some
are still wanting, and with the mcagro
returns at hand it is unsafe to hazard
a prediction rs TO the result. 1t
seems incredible that the admlnistra.
ton republicans can have suffered
defeat in a State where every advan-
tage has been on their side ! whore
they have concentrated gigantic efforts
t. ensure success; where they have
held ma jjorities every since tho close
of the war, with single exception,
varying from nine to wonty-three
thousand. Yet, as we have said,
there appears to hav, been steady
Increase thus far in the conservatives
majorities over the vote of 1870, and
heuco it is not improbable that the
State may have declared itself in ad-
vance in favor Of the reform move.
ment in Novcmle'.
II this should prove to be the case
it will no doubt be regarded general
ly as settling the Presidential con
test. Indeed, the republicans, by tho
vignr and bitterness Of their ccnvass,
have signlG"d their ccnviotion that a
defeat in 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 tick
ct was essential to the cause Of Presi.
dent Grant that without it there
would be little hope for tho admins
tration. Under these circumst anoes,
and in view Of the fact that the wholo
machinery Of the election, the entire
federal and state patronage, the courts,
the military, the police aud the uni
ted States marshaIs were in the
hands of the republicans, we cannot
think that the administration has
been overthrown. TO credit such
calamity would be to believe that tho
Presidential! election Is destined to
be deluge, sweeping away the exist.
ing powers aud making complete
revolution in the government. If,
however, the result should be as fore.
shndowed from the general tone Of
our dispatches, it will be due to the
unfortunate policy of tho political i'm.
beetles who surround and control
President Gaant due to the refusal
OF the administration republicans in
Congress t. allow the country to re.
turn to peace duo to their attempt
to crush the white citizens of tho
Southern States under the heel Of
military power and negro rule due to
the incendiary appeals Of Boutwell,
and others to the passions Of the negro
race due to the unfortunate foreign
policy of Secretary Fish duo to the
financial biundcrs of the Secretary Of
