INTIMIDATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.

In a short paragraph, on the Goth inst, we
alluded to the intimidation of those Freedmen
in North Carolina who support Mr.. Greeley
by the colored Grant men. We have now
before us the correspondence upon the subject
between the Hon. ID. NJ. Barringer and Mr..
G.. V. Strong. Mr.. Barringer thinks that the
frequent outrages by colored men on any one
of their own race who is independent and free
enough to think and act for himself should be
stopped. We think SO too; and as the President
has o large squad of Administration missionaries
just at present operating in North Carolina
we wish he would direct them by an Order of
the Day to take up this matter, and to i'm
press upon their hearers the duty of permitting
every voter to exercise the right of suffrage
exactly as he sees fit. Mr.. Barringer says:
at ia manifest now, and has been for time past,
as we all know that the coored voter Is deferred from
the free expression OF his opinions and enjoyment of his
rights not by any dread of the white man, but by the
fear Of his race instgated by bad men for the
worst and most wicked and corrupt purposes"
Gen. Wilson is in North Carolina, and az
he probably reads The Raleigh Neus in which
this is published, lie will see the necessity of
SAYING something to the Freedmen on the
subject; but whether he will say it is quite
another matter.
Mr.. Strong, in reply to Mr.. Barringer, in
speaking of the trial of one of the colored
Grant men, says: "The evidence showed
CLEARLY that simply because Cross had dared
"to declare himself in favor of Horace Greeley
" for President, and to act as Marshal at the
"Democratic Conservative mass meeting re-
"cently held in this city, he was the. object
"of foul conspiracy, and was brutally as
"saulted by an infuriated mob, from which
che escaped only by precipitate flight, and at
"the imminent hazard iof his life." Several
of the mob upon being bound over were very
much surprised and shocked to learn that the
Enforcement Act applied to them as well as
the whites. But what is the occasion of this
dense ignorance Mr.. Strong hits the nail on
the head exactly when he says, in concluding
his letter:
"Tho whole matter. taken III connection with olael

children arc expensively housed and clothed.
but Joe's personal acquaintance with them Is but
slight. Politics are the business OF life here
to him and hereafter for all he knows other
wise. He is successful, too, in his trade; has
been Governor already, and talked of as can
didate for President before one or two cam
paigns. It is not improbable that some day
his highest point of ambition may be reached.
AS a ruler he would satisfy many of his fol-
lowers. IL is true he would have as much
idea of the science or philosophy of govern
ment as an OK the very alphabet of political
economy is unknown to him. But he would
complacently compare daily his condition
with that Of Joe the lumber trader, and. with
praiseworthy integrity to one end, gather
house to house. stocks to stocks, to widen the
contrast in these conditions. Outside and be-
yOnd, he would serve his party faithfully-in
order to insure his next election. What more
can Common Sense, or Right, or the People
ask of their servants

kindred events which have recently occurred In our
state shows tho legitimate fruits IN Ignorant minus OF
,he teachings of tho most reckless and Abandoned
eaders that ever controlled destiny Of any party In
any age cline"
1t appears that the Administration agents.
Wilson, Deano, and the POstmasters, have
not taken entire possession OF the whole
colored constituency of North Carolina; and
some of the Freedmen understand that, as Mr..
Barringer says, "they have as much right to
"cast their votes for Mr.. Greeley as for MIR.
"Grant; and that no human being under the
claws and the Constitution has the least au-
"thority to interfere with the free exercise OF
"this high privilege We need only add that
the Grant men must respect this privilege or
there will be serious trouble.

The New- York Times, in its wholesale VIM
cation of everybody who differs from 1t In
politics, has seen fit to publish an infamous anu
cowardly attack upon the personal chafac'ei
of Gov. Randolph of New-Jersey, charging In
effect that that upright and universally respect
ed magistrate accepted a bribe of $4,000 from
the Erie Ring, and that the Attorney General
of New Jersey is about to give the proofs OF
the transaction to the public. We call the
charge infamous, because everybody who knows
Gov. Randolph must be satisfied that it is not
only untrue but absolutely without shadow
of excuse in fact; and cOwardly because it is
qualified by such expressions as "it is said,'
and "a curious story is current" which are
the familiar safeguards of the baser sort OF
maligners. We need waste no words OF indig-
nation upon libeler who is insensible of the
restraints of common decency, for Gov. Ran
dolph has called upon The Times, in manner
which it cannot disregard, to make good its
allegations. We shall watch for its answer.

Martial law has not yet been declared in
Pope County, Arkansas, but a serious effort
is making to induce the Governor to take
such step. The suspicious part of this busi-
ness is that the men who are most clamOrOus
for this extreme measure are those who were
concerned in numbering party of prisoners
temporarily committed to their charge.

Judge Barnard, who made his first appear
ance before the Court which is trying him on
Saturday, lost his temper directly. With that
undignifed acerbity of manner which has so
often brought him into disrepute, the Judge
contradicted witness in open court, breaking
out with at is MT true" But the principal
feature of Saturdays proceedings was the pro-
duction of the disgraceful details of the New
York Pier and Warehouse litigation. This
business forms the basis of the charge
contained in Article XXXYII of the impeach-
ment. The readers of THE TRIBUNE are fa-
miliar with the outlines of the disreputable
chapter, and will read with interest the testi-
mony of Mr.. II. ID. Sherwood, the Secretary
of the Company, concerning Barnard's readi-
ness to lend the Erie Ring every assistance in
his power to get illegal possession of the
property of the corporation. People will re-
gard with suspicion the statement of Clerk
Beamish that the books of the Chambers branch
of the Supreme Court-a bulky pile of records
have disappeared. The missing volumes con-
tain evidence much desired by the prosecu-
t1Ou.

The Erening Post quotes from private letter Of
Mr. Greeleys that got into print last year, whereof
the purport was that he deprecated his nomination
by the Democrats as calculated to place all con-
cerned in false position. Other Grant journals pa
rade an extract from speech made in Ohio Lest Sep
tember by Mr. Greeley, wherein he asserted that the
Democrats were more likely to support Gen. Grant
than him. Both these statements were correct ana
nertnent so long as the Democratic party stood on
;ts nlatform of 1868. Since it has deliberately
nanted itself on the Cincinnati platform, the case Is
bravely altered. With all who stand on that plat
form Mr. Greeley is in full accord, and may well be
their candidate as they may properly give him their
hearty support.

A correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, writing
from Maine, gives full and exhaustive review
of the political situation in each district of
the Pine-Tree State. The general conclusion
is cheerful for the Liberals, and the Admins
tation speakers betray their fears in their i'll
temper. Speaker Blaine, for instance, says
that those who talk about Grants gift-taking
ought to be tarred and feathered. This is
saving a thing with way.

The latest growl from the Grant newspapers is
that Graft Brown is "oblivious of the fact that he

When we mentioned the Political Pig-Lron Clrcu-
lar of the Metal House in Pearlst., we had no idea
of provoking small avalanche OF communications
from gentlemen in the trade who do not require to
be taught their political duties by anybody and
who can calculate for themselves, as well as Messrs
pope g. Co.. the effect upon business of Mr. Greeleys
election. Here is letter from gentleman who
saws: "The iron and metal trades. instead OF being
depressed by the nomination and prospective cleo
ton of Mr. Greeley to the Presidency-as the Pearl
st. metal dealer informs the trade through his circu-
LARS in reality in more prosperous condition than
has been the case for years. the statistics OF the
present season will show" A merchant should have
vary stringent reasons indeed for mixing up busi-
ness and politics in his circulars no merchant OF
the highest style and class would do such thing
and when mans passion for meddling Is SO great
that he talks to his correspondents impertnently,
he might as well put UP his shutters, and, while
there is yet time apply to Dr. Grant for one of the
minor post-offices
New-York tribune., 1872-07-29

All the colored men in the country do not look at

1t is our painful duty to expose gross crime OF
plagiarism committed by hitherto srespected
friend John Thomas. In a scathing editorial frl-
day, on "The Chappaqua Revels," he stripped the
vail from the hldeous orgies that have disgraced
Westcbester County and held up the writhing form
of Mr.. Greeley, toasting the pitchfork Of me
Times before the blazing fires of public scorn. Ihe
article was couched in much finer language than we
are accustomed to find in John Thomass paper. we
thought we had seen something like 1t before we
were right. 1t is the language not of John Inomas
but of Pott. Let our readers see for themselves:

The wrongs of Poor Jack have been long
enough crying for redress, and we hope that
the new law for his protection will prove am
pie in its provisions THE TRIBUNE has fully
exposed the brutal tyrannes and shameful con-
spiracies which have followed the American
seaman, afoat and ashore. He is robbed, en-
trapped, kidnapped, and treated like dog Dy
,ongshore harpies; and when at sea, awaklng
from his drugged sleep, if he has fallen into
the hands of harsh men, he has been whipped,
kicked, gagged, and shamefully abused. Inc
new law of Congress for the better protection
of seamen, and the fostering of seamanship,
goes into effect Aug G. The Commissioner
who has charge of its enforcement at tins
port has a staff of about twenty assistants. 1t
will be their business to see that sailors are
not shipped except of their own free Will
that they are not defrauded in the matter of
advance wages, and that the whole business OF
shipping seamen is fairly conducted by both
contracting parties Humane people will take
a lively interest in the operation of this beneh-
cent law, hoping for some benefits from Its en-
fOrcement.

Somebody has Just walked up in Missouri
and made known that MIR. Schuz, when can
didate for United States Senator, in 1868, de-
clared that he was utterly opposed to the en-
reimbursement of rebels. This assertion is
not in accordance with the position which
Senator Schurz has occupied in Missouri and
in Che Senate. Besides, if he had even been
opposed to enfranchisement in 1868, does 1t
follow that he must be for all time1

worth while, as he said in his speech near
Covipgton, on Saturday, to worry about the
action of the Baltimore Convention on the
Presidential question. That action has'been
ratified by the Democratic masses, and is a
thing accomplished. What pity it is that

Among the evidences of progress which we
receive from Japan is the announcement that
brand-new religion is about to be furnished
to the Empire by the paternal Government of
the Mikado. There are between forty and
fifty sects in Japan now, we believe, and
these are an amalgamation of ConfucianisrD,
Sintuism, and Boodhism, overaid with few
other imported varieties. The new cultus Is
to be simple and calculated to please the most
fastidious. 1t seems that the reported Visit Oh

There has been great deal OF apathy IN
the political circles of North Carolina, the
causes of which are fully explained IN let-
ter which we print to-day from correspond
ent of THE TRIBUNE. But this indifference
is disappearing, and the old North
State is alive to the issues involved in the
present contest. Whatever may be the result
at the State election, it is evident that the
people and the politicians have been so effect
ualy shaken up that they will be sure TO
evade hereafter the repression and stagnation
under which they have languished. Another
letter gives us some account of the tactics OF
the Administration leaders, who are pouring
money into North Carolina like water. They
expect to carry the election by bribery and
fraud. They have already made known that
they intend to charge the Liberals Qf there
should be a Liberal victory next Thursday
with intimidation" This means that they
must be let alone in their schemes, or they
will cry out intimidation"

have all vanished with the leisure
which produced them. Nobody has
time to play Sir Charles Grandson in

the tourist returns triumphant at

this--of world which believes itself
too busy to put sheet of paper into
an envelope. We are proud of il, as
we are proud OF our express trains and
