FRAUDS IN NORTH CARoLINA.-The Fayet-

paper, speaks to its party boldly. In one of its
issues, since the election and the success of the
Republican State ticket, it says:
1.-THE people, the Conservative party. do not
see the the benefit in reforming things when
reform has been SO much promised and so sell
dom practiced. The effect of our victory in
1870 has been counteracted, and that by our

F. A. PIKE is the champion demagogue of
the world. Before his nomination for Con-
gress he was blatant opposer of what is
known as the Shore Line railroad, but the
enterprise having local popularity he has
promptly changed his ground, and instead of
ndicullng it as before encourages towns to
put their money into it. Such deep root
has principle in the nature of the man who
exhibits a letter from Gen. Schenck and
some copies bills that never passed as the
sole trophies of an eight years. career in Con-

1T is noticeable that within ten days the
Democrats have ceased to talk about "carry-

ton to declare that the Republicans are de-

break the force of your fall in that way, gen.

THE New York World says that the Dem

come the Republican majority of 20,404 of

decidedly, notwithstanding "Gov." Pills

The honest Republicans, who at first thought
of supporting the Liberal ticket, are leaving it
one by one. The following letter from a man
in Biddeford, whose name we can give to the
curious, is only single sample of the deser-

tell us why he sat still IN the U. S. Senate and

he would have found out in regard to them at
all if H. G. had not offered him place in his
Cabinet in case of his election to the Presiden-

Treason OVerruIed for Good.

The Columbus (Ohio) State Journal says
Greeley has done more in six months, by his
friendship, towards destroying the Demo-
cratic party than he did by his forty years of
bitter and relentless opposition. This is I'M
doubtedly true, and if men were to be judged
by the good they do rather than by the mo-
tives which influence their conduct, Greeley
should have a monument to his memory as
high as the loftiest peak of the Andes. But
as it is he must take his chance for immor-
tally with the traitors whose rebellion was
begun to destroy the Union, but ended in the
destruction Of slavery. Mr.. Greeley's was
prompted by determination to ruin the Re-
publican party and ended in the overthrow of
Democracy. By their motires posterity will
Judge each.
