o The poor Tri6Gnsl. IL 10 really sad 70 see
the desperate efforts II makes 10 gather con-
ISOLATION from the North Carolina returns,
Oaldwell's election Is admitted, bot then how
IL shifts and shuiles, edltoriAlly and 10 its
news columns, to figure out victory for
liberal Republication and Democracy. Cald-
wells victory, says iIs correspondent, sub
stAntially is a barren one. He has no power;
be cannot veto a bill; be Is utterly iuslg-
nldcAnt. says the Tribune editor, "all
this is far more than we had .
right to expect, far more than any one
did expect up to the hour when the 6rst
favorable returns began to come In on the
night OF the election" Let IA see what Is
this favorable result which the Tribune says
II had no right to expect First, the Governor
elected by majority Of two thousand;
second, a gain by the Republicans Of one
Congressman; third, Republican gain In
the Legislature Of over thirty members;
fourth, q Republican gain In the vote over
that Of 1870 Of nearly sepen housdad. The
Tribune consoles Itself that Its Ku-Klux
friends were not worse beaten. The poor
T,-i6Ugel Only three or four days ago Il
wrotei Well donsl Noble Norh Carolina
lou hare announced in ddrdRce ne verdict Of
a nation"
The Tribune taunts the Governor Of North
Carolina that he has no power. Whyp Be-
cause he has been stripped Of Il by Demo
cratic Legislature. And yet this party has
the effroutery 10 talk about Capitalization. Il
was only a short time ago that this same
Legislature elected q sufficient number Of
members to impeach Republican governor.
A year ago, failing to get Governor CaldWell's
signature 10 an act calling convention TO
amend the State constitution, this same Dem
osrauc Legislature was guilty Of another act
OF usurpatlon In the passage Of q law cOnstl-
tutlng The presiding officers Of the two hOuses
Of the Legislature deputy governors. They
signed the act submitting the calling Of a
convention to the people, whl,h was so
partisan that Ii was defeated by over nine
thousand majority. The Democratic now
have carried the Legislature because, owing
TO the gerrymanderlug Of the State, II was
impossible for the Republicans 10 carry II.
This Is proved by the fact that although we
have 1900 majority on the State ticket we
lose the Legislature by 20 majority; In other
words, to use the language Of the New York
World the honest Republicans Of North
Carolina are cheated and def1uded through
a rotten borough system which the Democracy
have imposed upon the State. This Is the char
Acter Of the men and the party Of which the
Now York TRIBUNE Is now the organ and the
champion. ..
The lesser Democratic orsan, the World
has been put entirely out of luue Nv the news
from North Carolina. "The practical lesson
to be drawn from the latest news Ia sufb-
eIently apparent. The friends of the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate must NO. a.
Jude Themselves with the notion thai they
can elect him BY mere enthusiasm wItbopt
effort. He will not be borne into The PresI-
dency by suplpe good wishes or a mere aim
less efferyescence, but only by pcrslstent

THE GOVERNOR SHIP OF n IsSACHUSETTS.
The Intelligence from Boston, although
rather mysterious, would seem TO Indicate
that Gen. Butler Ia determined To enter upon
the contest once again. II seema that Cover
nor WGshblrn's administration has not been
altogether satisfactory. We art told that he
has Ignored the prohibition laws, aud that
the reforms which were expected at his hands
have In some way been postponed His
friends, however, would appear 10 be deter
mined TO give him the usual Endorsement Of a
denomination and a reelection, and to that
end have called the convention for very
eahy day In the hope of heading of General
Butler aud deprIYing him OF an opportunity
to work upon the delegates. The Butler
party do not, however, propose to b. de-
feated In this way and have 80 manage that
the Labor convention shall meet week ear
lIer that the regular Republican gathering.
Il Is thought that the latter party will select
General Butler "a their candidate, and II Is
believed by his supporters that the moral In
nuence OF such a nomination will have an
important influence upon the action Of the
convention TO meet week later. II General
Butler shall be put In nomination, he Will
wake up the old Bay State, aud We may ex-
pect contest there that will absorb the atten-
ton of the public everywhere almost as much
IA the more important Presidential canvass.

Only a Careless Mood.

Two persons meet after an ordinary days
activity. Each, unknown to the other, has
met series of annoyances, irritating cir
cumstanccs, unkindnesses,- 30, coming
home, can brook no rude approach, no un-
gentle touch; the pent up constraint and
self control of the day seeks to revenge it
self. A little careless, selfish word is ut
tered-with no unkind intent-but the over
sensitive listener misunderstands it; it sounds
cruel and is inexcusable in its bluntness,
still it would not have been ordinarily no.
ticed; but here was no healthy equanimity
to meet it, only tired nerves and depression.
The result is painful division, an unac-
countable coldness; each feels some apology
or explanation due him. AT length by
struggling and by prayer it comes; but how
sore have been the hearts of these true and
tried friends!
The only sensible and right thing to do,
at such times, is to take rest before hardly
trusting ones self to speak or to be spoken
to; and with the rest of the body to open
the heart, the thirsting and world weary
heart, to the great, ever present, ever pity
ing One. Thus shall we be Gained, and find
it is possible to be patient Watchman ana
Reflector.

Cast Your Sins on Jesus.

A missionary was once at the bedside OF
a sick Christian. He said to her: "Are
you at peace, my sister ?" And she an
swered, "Oh! sir, l am so troubled that l
cannot sleep or rest. Ihave sinned SO much
that feel afraid / shall never be saved. -
"Why," said the missionary, "what do you
dwell on your sins for? l never think of
mine" "Why, Mr.. Cook" she exclaimed,
in amazement, "what do you meal" !" 81
cast my sins on Jesus long ago" he replied
"they are too heavy weight for me; l let
Him take take care of them. Cannot you
do the same"
How apt we are to forget that Jesus bore
our sins in His own body on the tree, and
we need have no more care for them ! Is
not the command, "Rejoice in the Lord al
ways, and again / say rejoice" just as i'm
perative as the command to repent? Is it
showing true faith in our Saviour if we ask
Him to blot out our sins, and then weep
over them, as if they were not blotted out ?
Dear trembling Christian, Jesus blood
"cleanseth us from all SIM" believe it, and
rejoice.

81 Am The Door.

In town in the north of Scotland, some
boys were in the habit of meeting together
for prayer. A little girl was passing and
heard them sing. She stopped to listen,
and thinking it was an ordinary prayer
meeting, she was anxious to get in. Putting
up her hand she pulled the latch, but it
would not open; it was fastened inside. She
became very uneasy, and the thought arose
in her mind "What if this were the door
of heaven, and me outsider" She went
home, but could not sleep. Day after day
she became more troubled at the thought of
being shut out of heaven. She went from
one prayer-meeting to another, still finding
no rest. At length, one day reading the
tenth chapter of John, she came to the
words: 81 am the door," She paused and
read the verse again and again. Here was
the very door she was seeking, and wide
open, too, and she entered in and found
peace.-Erchange.

Jesus First and Above All.

Those of you who have been permitted to
gaze upon the wonderful picture of Cor
reggie, the Nativity of our Lord, must have
been struck with some remarkable features
of the painting. You remember the scene
that has been selected for this wonderful
representation-the manger of Bethlehem;
the time is night; the babe is resting upon
the lap of the Virgin; the shepherds are
kneeling before Him, and the most remarka-
Bile thing about the painting itself is, that all
the light beams from the little child and all
is dark around The Babe as it lies, is one
corruscation of glory and lights up the
face of the Virgin, and is reflected in the
sky above, and in the faces of the angels,
who seem to be bending and lowering over.
This position occupied by the child in the
picture, is the position occupied in this
Evangelical system by Christ-the central
light! the central Sun.

Mexico.

Mr.. Bryant, of the Evening Post, in
very interesting letter from the City of Mex
leo, which he is now visiting, to his own
paper, confirms the statements already re-
ceived of the remarkable Protestant revival
in this heretofore bigoted Catholic country.
He worshipped there in substantial church,
with a congregation of four hundred, appa.
rently very devout persons. The sermon,
which produced manifest impression upon
the audience, was delivered by Father Aguas,
lately Catholic priest, and man of no
little eloquence. The Roman Catholic Con-
vent buildings and churches have been con-
fiscated by the Government of Mexico on
account of the disloyalty of the priests and
the use of their property to aid in revolu.
tions, and have been sold for the benefit of
the public school fund. Some of these fine
edifces have already been bought by the
Protestant converts, under the direction of
Mr.. Reilly, well.known in this city, and
through the aid of the American and For
eign Christian Union. Singularly enough,
Mr.. Bryant finds that the warmest advocates
for the annexation of Mexico to the United
States in the former country are Catholic
priests. They hope, in such consumma-
ton. to secure the return of their confscated
property. Such religious revolutions, how.
ever, rarely go backward. We trust that a
better day is dawning upon Mexico, as well
as upon all the "Latin" countries.
