North Carolina All Right.

The North Carolina State election TOOK
place last Thursday. The most intense eS-
element aud anxiety has been felt all over
the country to know the result Grant had
made the old North State the battle-ground
of the campaign and every exerIlon ana
money without stint has been poured into the
State to elect the Radical ticket. Everything
failed and the Democracy have come out with
fying colors. Although the returns are not
full or complete we are satisfied that Merrl-
mon, the Democratic candidate for Governor
Is elected by over 10000 majority and that we
have likewise carried six out OF the eight
Congressional Districts, and have the Legis-
lature by o large majority, secur'ngs Seaatoi
in place Of a Radicals.
The Radicals of Van Buren, look blank and
admit that North Carolina virtually settles
the election of GREELEY and BRowN.
