NORTH CAROLuNA.

Some of the tricks resorted TO by the
Grant men to carry the North Carolina
election are exposed In the following para
graphs:
San Influential politician writing from
North Carolina says that from 500 TO 1000
fraudulent votes were cast Ia behalf of
Settle, and that $4,000 TO $4,000 was
used by bis supporters for purposes of brib-
cry and corruption in that district alone"
The Raleigh IN. c. Netcs says that
many persons indicted for violation Of the
revenue laws in Iredall, Yaakin, Stokes
and other counties, were approached du-
ring the recent campaign by officers of the
revenue, and offered a nolle prosequi II
they would use their influence in behalf Of
the Republican candidates. Some vera
asked to become candidates themselves up
on the Radical side, and threatened with
all the terrors Of the law in case of re-
fusal. The only ttcO Hu-Kttcr trh0 ieere
ecer IN Darts County tcere both Republican
candidates in 1872" t
1t is now stated that Judge Bond of the
United States Circuit Court, played a full
baud in the game which returned Caldwell,
as Governor elect of North Carolins. In adj
dilicn 10 the two hundred Thousand dollars
drawn from the National Treasury for Cout
purposes, Bond found, or imagined he
found, in The Enforcement act, in the Ku-
Kluk law, or in the Revenue law, authority
for appointing an Indefinite number of dep
uty marshals, AMI issuing 10 these blank
warrants which they might ill up al
pleasure. This suspends in effect
all laws and invests deputy marshals
with power to put the names
Of any or all the people Of country in
their warrants, and TO arrest aud i'm prison
them, and is the system which was largely
pract.ced in North Carolina under the dis
pensalion of justice and law. In ali the
Western counties Of the State, these depu-
ties acted in q most vigilant manner. They
exercised complete despotism over the
people, and in this way controlled hundreds
Of votes. Ararty which viii thus prosti-
tutc the judiciary 10 the West political
schemes, is not fit repository of the liber-
ties OF the people.
The open frauds prscticed by the Grant
ties in North Carolina, have disgusted sew
eral leading members of that party, and
they al e sevsring their connection with the
renominaiionisls. Attorney General VIII
liam u. Coleman, chosen on The Republi-
csn ticket in 1865, and one Of Caldwelrs
supporters, has written letter declaring
for Greeley. The Hon. Il. w. Lassiter, a
prominent Republican State Senator, has
also made similar declaration; and many
others are following the example. North

THE Grant organs are unfortunate when
they attempt to show that Democrats ara
aiding Grant by cOuntenancing the Louis
vile Convention. Recently Radical jour
nal in Philadelphia an nounced that a
Democratic club had been ''formed
in Pensacola, Florida, independent Of all
Republicans and Liberals; composed of
oaly Simon-pure Dsmo rats. This club
will work for the interests Of the Louis
vile Convention" To which the Pensa-
cola Na0 replies: "This is news down
here. Who composed the club, and when
and where did they organize? So far as
We know, there is no club, nor single
Democrat who has for a moment thought
Of working in any other interest than that
of Greeley and Brown"

Without organization thare can be no
more hope of SUCCESS in poIlfics than there
can be of victory in war without drill and
discipline. No party ever did succeed, no
party ever can succeed without party Or
gin'zstion. Parties are act formed to pro-
mote the advancement of individuals. but
to secure the triumph Of prinaples Of gov
eminent believed BY the members of the
party best calculated to secure the public
welfare. In every republican government
there win bs two parties. One favoring
one series of measures, the other favoring
different series. The persons chosen FIR
Office are chosen because they are favorable
to and viii endesyor to put in force the
principles of the party. To illustrate
The candidate elected who fayors
the Greeley ticket is elected be-
cause he favors the principles epltomised
In Mr.. Greeley's letter Of acceptance. The
candidate elected who belongs TO the Grant
party Is elected because he viii advocate
the principles and practices of the Grant
administration. Political parties are based
upon political principles, and the party man
gives his allegiance to party because he is
devoted to the principles of that party.
Every one who feels any interest in the
manner in which the government is con-
Quoted, must feel an interest in the party
which proclaims his PRINCIPLES. If he be-
lieves in capitalization aud consolidation
of the powers of government in the Fede-
raj Government at Washington, backed
and influenced, if not controlled, by the
military arm, he should vote for the candi.
dates that wifi support the Grant admins
tration. II, upon the contrary, he be-
lieves that our policy should aim
at local self government, that the civil
should be supreme over The military, and
that the writ of hdbeas corpus should be
jeaicasly upheld as the sure safeguard of
personal liberty, he should vote for candi-
dates that win support the principles of
constitutional government approved by
Greeley and Brown. lie who favors the
principles of Greeley aud Brown and votes
for man who will support the doctrines
of the Grant party, is untrue TO his own
convictions and recreant to his duty as
citizen. 60 q
Every citizen who ia not under political
disabilities has arightto be a candidate for
Office, bat every citizen or any great num-
Der OF party should exercise this right,
minority party entertaining the most OBJ
noxious views might by strict discipline
and thorough organization get and maintain
the power In our government. In Tennes-
sse plurality elects. A candidate there
fore though MOI receiving more than two
iftls Of the votes cast might be elected if
two other candidates divided the other
three-fifShs equally between them. If our
laws required majority of all Tia votes
cast to elect, then there would not be the
same necessity for that srict party orgaDi-
cation which is required under our present
law to secure the certain election of candi-
dates devoted TO the triumph of our p.fnci-
pies.

THE New York World calls attention 10
a singular fact. It says: 'sThe only par
ties who appear 10 meet with any favor with
the Republican party in this State (New

who remained true 70 the party then are

THE New York World says: "There is
a very good reason why Grants office-hold :
ers refuse to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm. They have their hands so deep In
the peoples pockets and the Treasury that
it is not convenient for them 70 clasp bands
With anybody just now. They are afraid,
if they Withdraw their hands for that pur-
pose, they will lose all opportunities for a
grab at the public funds" a>

AN IrxM you SMOKERS AND DRUNK
ARDs.-Five cents each morning, mere
tride. Thirty-hve cents per week, not
much yet it would buy coffee and sugar
for whole family, $l9 Is year, and this
amount, invested In the savings bank at
the end Of a year and the interest thereon
at six per cent, computed annually, would
In twelve years amount to more than $3.50,
enough to buy q good farm In the West.
Five cents before each breakfast, dinner
and supper you hardly miss it, yet it is
fifteen cents a-day, 81 O5 q week, enough
to buy a small library of books. Invest
this as before, and in twenty years you
have over $1,000. Quite enough to buy q
good house and lot. Ten cents each
morning, hardly worth second thought
yet with it you can buy paper Of pins or
spool of thread. Seventy cents per
week, it would buy several yards of muslin.
would have $234O in twenty years, quite a
snug little fortune. Ten cents before each
breakfast, dinner and supper, thirty cents
day. 1t would buy book for the chill
dren;, 81 10 each week, more than
enough to pay a years subscription to a
good newspaper; S1O5 50 year, with it
you could buy good melodeon, from
which you could produce good music to
pleasantly while the evening hours away.
And this amount invested as before would
in forty years produce the desirable amount
Of $4,000. Did NO higher consideration
prevail, 10 would seem that q simple but
truthful calculation like this would be suf-
fcient, in most cases, to break up these
iDjur ious, useless and offensive habits.
