MAss-MEETING
Was it a Tremendous Success or Some
what of Failure2

"hCou Va " = eeA4
According to previous notice, there
was Grant and Wilson, Kellogg and
Antoine ratification mass-meeting at
the Courthouse last Saturday.
We regret that we We're absent from
town, as it has been a difficult matter
for lis to ascertain reliable particulars
OF the affair since our return. There
is a marked difference of opinion
among the several persons whom we
have consulted with regard to the
number of people present, several
maintaining that there were not more
than $50 persons, a majority of whom
were women and children, while one
or two whose sympathies are with the
meeting claimed that the audience
numbered between 300 and 400. Six
skiffs had been hired to transport the
vast multitude which was expected
from the other side of the river across
to this place, but the multitude didn't
come TO time, and five of the skiffs
remained idle.
However, the crowd that had been
attracted by the music of brass band
imported from New Orleans for the
occasion, whether large or small, re-
sponded with some enthusiasm to the
addresses of Col. A. p. Field, the
double barrelled candidate for Atty.
General, Capt. J. A. Stevenson, would
be District Attorney Morris Marks,
and Pierre Landry, Esq, and of course
shouted "aye" in response to a mo-
ton to adopt a set of resolutions of
which they understood little and cared
less. The music of the band was the
most attractive feature of the occa-
sion, and without it the grand rally of
the Kelloggites of Ascension would
have Appropriated nearer disastrous
failure than it did.

We went off half-cocked on the re-
suit of the North Carolina election It's
true, but then the Custom House
press need not make such a fuss over
it. Premature discharges of enthus-
iasm are in order and to be expected
about election time, and there can
be but little doubt some of our con-
temporaries who are now poking fun
at the CHIEF will be caught in the
same trap before the ides of Novem-
Der have come and gone. How were
we to anticipate that, after being fair
ly beaten, the Grant managers in the
border counties of North Carolina
would import voters from adjoining
States, and even after that outrage
had been perpetrated that Grant COM
missioners of election should withhold
the returns until they ascertained how
much Caldwell's vote would need to
be augmented to give him majority
in the State, then increase it accord
ingly on their return lists2

The editor of the st. John Pioneer
deems it a preposterous supposition to
imagine that bribery and corruption
were practiced in the Fourth Judicial
District Convention held by the KEEL
loggites in st. James q few weeks
since, yet he charges that such I'M
holy influences governed the Sixth
Senatorial District Convention of the
same party, which was held in the
city of Carrollton on the 3lst ultimo,
and which comprised a number of the
same delegates who were in attend
ance at the st. James Convention. We
hold that men who are susceptible of
being swayed by corrupt means
at one time are at another.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

The official result of the North Car
DINA election has not yet been pro-
mulgated, but it is conceded that the
returns will elect Caldwell, the Grant
candidate, by about 400 majority.
Evidence of wholesale fraud, espec-
tally in the border counties, is accu-
mulating, and Merrimon is said to de-
clare his intention of contesting Cald-
wells election before the Legislature.
The alleged frauds were importations
of colored voters from the adjoining
States of Virginia and South Carolina,
and the alteration of the return lists
by commissioners of election of va
rious counties, the said lists being
withheld until it was acertained Mer-
rimon was fairly elected, when they
were so changed as to give Caldwell a
majority. Certain it is that in many
precincts more ballots were found in
the boxes than there were names of
voters on the poll books, and as the
commissioners of election were all ap-
pointed in the Caldwell interest, of
course these frauds were perpetrated
to secure the success of that candidate.
From present indications we feel
confident a thorough official inyesti
cation will demonstrate that Merrimon
received a majority of the honest vote
polled, and in that case our rejoicing
over the result in the cold North
State" will prove not to have been
premature, as it now appears.
Whether Caldwell was rightfully
elected or not, we record the prophecy
that Greeley will carry North Carolina
in November. The Merrimon State
ticket was nominated before the Bal
timore Endorsement, and was not
based upon the fusion of Democrats
and Liberal Republicans that has since
taken place, hence there were large
numbers of Republicans who would
not vote for it, but who will vote for
Greeley.

The nomination of d. B. Penn for
Governor by the Liberal State Con-
vention has taken nearly all the wind
out of the sails of the McEnery party.
The supporters of the "united State
ticket" have all along told the people
that Warmoth was the head, heart
and body of the Liberal movement,
and that Warmoth would be its can
didate for Governor. OF course those
who have heard the Governor of this
State denounced so long and so bitter
ly as monster of corruption that they
have come to believe it would not give
their adherence to the Liberal party,
but now that the Convention is over,
and Warmoth is not the candidate,
they are fiocking to the support of the
ticket headed by Penn, and the Nc
Emery party is growing " small by de-
grees and beautifully less"
