THE RADICAL VOTE.

Our readers viii bear US witness that for
weeks we have warned them that a very
full Radical vote woulI be polled; that May
nard was the man We had 10 beat; and that
the only common ground on which Demo
Gratis could mass against lin, was our reg
ular nominee. The returns thus far re-
ceived confirm cur warnings Of large Rad
icsl poll, and when all the circumstances
are considered, it is calculated TO set our
people to thinking The dullost must see now
that our earnest plezs for organization and
its necessity were not without foundation.
Many say tie Maynard vote Of yesterday
does not tell the Whole tale. Maynard is
unpopular with his party, particularly in
East Tennessee. II has been therefore
claimed that Mr.. johnson would take from
him large slice of the Radical vote in that
section and elsewhere. If we give full
credit to these views, Vennesssaans may
well be alarmed at the strength Of Radical
ism in our State. TIE absolute necessity
for future concord, harmony and organiza.
ton is no longer an argument, but a great
fact-if we would preser7e our Interests, III
dus.rial, social and political, from a return
of the blight of BrownlowiSm,

OLEARINa oRE-

The bitter and excited State canvass that
closed with yesterdays. election, may be
likened to terrific thunder storm, which
leaves the atmosphere clear and purified.
Whatever else the result, we are disposed
to believe that many clouds and vapors
which have befogged our State politics will
be lifted, and men will see things as they
are. The practical useiessness and reck-
lessness of f'thlrd party" here in Tennes-
see viii be fully and finally demonstrated.
The need for organization, more thorough
than we have ever had, viii be impressed
on all patriotic minds. When bad men
conspire, good men must combine. The
larger proportion of Mr.. Johnson's sup
porters, who are genuine Democrats at
heart, misled only by the enthusiasm Of an
hour, will come back to the fold firmly re-
solved to support principles instead of men,
however great. The disorganize who
have abused their confidence, and
made temporary capital on their
course, will never, never be able to seduce
them again. That smaller portion who
took up Mr.. johnson as ga crooked stick"
to beat Democracy, are likely to find their
way into the Radical camp by such sinuous
byepsths with which they arc most familiar
Many of them will throw off all DISCUSSES,
and cease "sneaking up to inevitable re-
Suits" by embracing Rsdicslism at once.
Others viii crawl in some back way. Still
others viii continue to attempt the absurd
altitude of independence" in the struggle
between right and wrong, and founder
about hopelessly and helplessly like fish out
of water. We say, let them 60, since they
will go, and God speed them. The conser-
vative Democracy viii be well rid of their
slippery alliance. We prefer square open
fight, where our enemy shows himself and
We know just what we have to contend
with.
As the general result, we may expect in
future elections a large increase over the
Radical vote of yesterday, but at the same
tima a more compact and potent organiza-
ton Of the Democracy-the party of the
people, of the Taxpayers and hard workers

A NORTH CAROLINA JEFFREYs.

Il appears that n oEth Carolina is cursed
with Judge who lacks only the braiu to
become a Jsffteys. On the 18th ult. the
grand jury for the Superior Court Of New
Hanover county threw out an Indictment
for libel against the Journal, Democratic
paper published in Wilmington. On the
18th the Solicitor, Republican, informed
the Judge, also Republican, that he
wished to send new bill, and asked him
to send for the jury and to instruct them
specially in relation to the law of libel.
He also informed the Judge that the par
ties against whom be wished to proceed
were the editors of the Wilmington Jour
nal. The jury was brought into the Court
and the Judge charged that the matter set
forth in the indictment then exhibited in
Court constituted the libel, aud that if a
true bill were not found, the jurors would
commit perjury. The alleged libelous mat
ter is as follows:
"The difference, according to Radical
ideas Of right and wrong, to turn Northern
cOnvicts out of the penitentiary, although
they are grown men and notorious thieves,
found gully by jury after fair trial, but
it is ali wrong TO turn out young Southern
boys Of tender age, who, by promise of mild
treatment, were induced to plead guilty be-
fore a scouudrel like Judge Bond without
any trial at all. 1t is all right in Radical
eyes to pardon the Pennsylvania thief, but
it would be all wrong to pardon the North
Carolina Ku-Klux, so-called. The grown
man, Yerkes, goes free, the boy, Ramcur,
is in fslOn's cell. Can North Csrolinians
reconcile it to their manhood, or to their
coRscienCes, to vote for Grant? If Grant is
beaten, Radicals;n will die. If Grant is
reelected, Radicalism will live"
On the 3lst the jury came into court, and
were lectured by the judge in manner
considered highly insulting, for having Ia
ken no action on the bill. On the LIST inst.
the jury returned the bill endorsed s'Not a
true BILL" The jury were then discharged
until the next day without any further &C
ton on the part Of the Judge. The Raleigh
Sentinel of the 4th inst. expresses its "high
satisfaction at the manly resistance TO judi
cial insolence On the part of the grand jury
of New Hanover" from which we infer
that the North Carolina Jefreys has made
a failure in his efforts to silence the press.

"An important lawsuit has just been in
stituted by the Treasury Department in the
United States Circuit Court, at Richmond,
Virginia, for the recovery of the value OF
the Piedmont Railroad, which connects
Danville, Virginia, with Greensboro, North
Carolina. The claim OF the Treasury
Department is based upon the as
sumption that this property was con-
structed by the Confederate Government
in 1861. 1t is further set forth that the
money and supplies to finish and equip
the road were furnished by the Confederate
Government, and that engineer officers of
the Confederate army were entrusted with
the moneys and building of The road, which
was only fifty miles long, but which madS
a swift and sure connection with other rail-
roads of North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia and other Southern States, which was
indispensable to the military operations of
the Confederate Government. In this suit
the idea of consequential damages is In
voked to show that the inevitable result
of the war was simply prolonged
through the agency Of this road. The
allegations are minutely set forth that
every dollar Of money, every pound of
bacon, every ton ofiron rails, laborers, white
or black, locomotives and cars which were
necessary for the construction and running
ofthe Piedmont Railroad were furnished by
the Confederate States Government, but
through some curious and intricate mani
pulation of affairs the Richmond and Dan
vile Railroad obtained entire possession of
the Piedmont Railroad. 1t is proposed to
make the present test suit to cover sever
al similar cases, which are reported to exist.
The government is fortified by the recent
French and English decisions, showing that
the property of the Confederate Government
belongs to the United States.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes. Nov. 2:
"Judge Humphreys, in the Criminal
Court this morning, refused g new trial TO
Charles johnson, convicted Of numbering
his wife. In overruling the motion Judge
Humphreys observed that be, the court,
wonld say that had every woman been
slain who, during the war, lived with other
men than their husbands, there would be
almost as many killed as fell in battle.
Judge Humphreys gas appointed to Office
as one Of the highest judges OF the District

with the Administration. This reflection
upon the wi, es of Union soldiers is repor-
ted in the Star, an Administration paper"

DURING the Franco-Prussian war it was
estimated that, averaging both armies, five
Germans OUtwaighed six Frenchmen. Not
only are the Germans huge compared with
FTenchmen, but hugo as compared with
their own ancestors. The Prussian soldier
who fought 81 Sedan averaged three inches
larger round the chest aud two inches taller
than the Prussian Soldier who fought at
Waterloo. This astonishing development
is ascriDed to fifty years of stringent mill
tary training, enforced upon the whole male

THE cheapness of living in France is due
not alone to the price Of articles, but to the
simple and unostent atious manners of the
people. A writer in Frazer's Magazine
says that however small or reduced the in-
come of gentle family in France, their Sc
cial position is not in the least affected by
their circumstances; and that the general
diffusion of wealth shown by the French
loan is owing to The economical living and
thriftiness of the women, who generally
participate in the business of earning a
livelihood.
