shown wonderful civil capacity in aiding
the reduction of the public debt, in con-

PRESIDENT GRANT is meeting with
enthusiastic welcome on his Northern tour
at the hands of all parties. This must be
gratifying to him, and is a proof that, not
withstanding all the calumnies and false
hoods started by his enemies with the de-
sign Of lowering him in the estimation of
his countrymcn, they still have for him
that love and confidence which they de.
monstrated by the ballot four years ago.
They will repeat this demonstration at the
polls on the fifth day of next November,
and overwhelm his traducers with shame
that can never be obliterated. s'

The Philadelphia North An,erican an
swers the nonsensical talk about military
despotism with the most unanswerable
of all arguments--facts as it says our
army consists of a force of about 81, 900
men, about the number of an ordinary
corps in active service, scattered over an
area of 100000 square miles, about one
man to every thousand square miles. Now
these troops are not the only force of armed
men in the country. There is the armed
and disciplined militia of the States, which
are under the sole command of the Govern
ors of their respective States. The Governor
of Massachusetts, to-day has larger force
at his command than any officer of the
United States army, having now about
5000 men and twenty guns under his
orders. If it is true, in spite of these facts,
that the country is groanng under the iron
heel of military despotism, what heel that
one soldier must have to cover thousand
square miles, and how big is his DO dy?

SHORTLY after the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, Dan. Voorhees, said: "a man Of
mature age changing the deliberate and in
tense convictions of his whole life for the
sake of an Office, whether high or low, is a
miserable spectacle. If Mr.. Greeley has
done SO, it proves him to be dishonest and
unworthy OF confidence. If he is capable
of doing violence to his conscience for the
sake of the Presidency, he will betray the
people if he is elected" But Dan wanted
to shake his ambrosial locks for another
term before, the. assembled beauty and wis
dom of the nation, and for the sake of q
little liberal " support he now goes for
the man who twill betray the people if
he is elected" ''"i

MORE OF THAT VICTORY.

Few persons have yet fully measured the
Importance of the Republican victory in.
the North Carolina election. In the Legisla-
ture we have gained five senator's and
twenty-one representatives, SO that the
Democratic majority on JOINT ballot ofsixty-
two is now only fourteen. Of these four
teen who hold the balance Of power, it is
safe to say that ten of them, though
avowed Democrats, are anti-Greeley men,
and would vote on questions of national
import with the Republicans sooner than
! the Greeley wing circumstance that dis.
poses of the claim that Greeley United
States Senator has been secured as one Of
the results of the election.
Our contemporaries have made great
display of figures to prove that the Repub-
licans have made great losses since 1865,
when General Grant carried the State by
$4,000 majority. But let US subject their
figures to the touch-stone of few simple
facts. In 1868 the full vote of the State
was: Republican, 96,226; Democratic,
$4,000. In 1870, when Ku-kluxism was
at its height. the Republican vote, in the
contest between Ship and Phillips, fell off
off II, 100, and the Democratic vote was
1858 larger than in 1868.
In 1865 the total vote of the State was
$50, BIG; this year it is over 210, 200, being
an increase of 10000. From this increase
deduct - 900, General Grants majority in
1868, and we have $4,000, which, less the
1000 majority for Caldwell and half the
remaining 10000 which went Republican,
will give US the enlarged Democratic vote,
the greater portion Of which, is due to Access
sions under the operation of the Amnesty
act. But still more remarkable fact is
seen if we go back and rcsurrect old figures !:
In 1866 1.-THE Democratic majority for
Governor, was ,596 at which time only
| 10000 Republicans voted, In 1867 there
Were II ,657 blacks admitted to vote, which
would make the Republican vote 81 900
against $4,000 Democratic. But the fact
that we have carried the State by such
odds against us, shows that General
Grant has far stronger hold upon the popu-
lar heart of North Carolina than Mr.. Gree
ley OF any other northern Republican can
possibly have, though forty times CONVEX
tedt the Democratic faith. 20 Ia

Boswell was, if he could expect any return
Of becoming gratitude from the people of
this State.
There are men left among us, thank God
those Of the rare old Virginia stock-who
cannot SO ignobly forget the past or hypo-
critically forgive this malignant defamer of
Virginia as to be instrumental in placing
him in the Presidential chair twice filled
by Washington. 1t will not answer for
the late Tribune editor-in-chief to deny the
paternity of the article in question. If he
did not write the libel himself he manufac-
tured the hireling to do it, and conspicu-
ously approved his work. This will not
be denied. I--
/ What attraction can there be, then, for
the "sons Of Virginia sires" to run after
this gigantic calumniator of their State and
their statesmen If we. were to answer,
we should say infinitely less attraction than
one could have to embrace snake or run
after the spawn OF, toads. For there is
something so unspeakably disgusting in the
character of man who seeks TO defile
whole communities, and drag down the
transcendent virtues of their great states
men to the low level of a." Bridewell and
the stews," that we can conceive Of no
comparative disgust by which to express
our detestation of his character. Thersites
sinks into harmless buffoon beside such a
defamer, and becomes at once respectable
in the category of human blackguards
