NORTH CAROLINA.
The State Election.

New YORK, August IA Times spe
cial from Raleigh, North Carolina, says
the Sentinel Of that place publishes re-
turns from eighty counties, and says
Csldwelrs gain overruus the vote Of
1870 by 3S9. Allegheny, Cherokee,
Clay, Hyde, Jackson. Macon, Polk,
Trapsylvanis, and Wautauga are to be
heard from. 1t is claimed that the ad-
dition OF msjorities for each candi-
date shows that Caldwell is over 5000
ahead. D. A. Jenkins, Republican can
didate for State Treasurer, runs several
hundred ahead OF his ticket. Returns
for members OF Congress show Cobb,
Thomas, and Smith, Republicans. elect
ed, and Waddel, Leach, Ashe, Robbins,
and Vance, Democrats, elected. The
Legislature is Democratic, the Senate
bv ten and the House by ten, making
twenty on joint ballot.
A Tribune special from Raleigh says
the returns received last night were un-
favorable to the success of the Conser-
vative ticket. The Conservatives have,
it is believed, elected thirty-one Sena-
tors and the Republicans Lineteen the
Lower House will stand sixty six Con.
servative and twenty-six Republicans; /;
majority on joint ballot thirty-eight
The Tribune editorislly says it still
believes that Merrimans election was
the honest result of the North Carolina
contest. 1t charges the administration
with delaying the returns from remote
counties until there was time to figure
up the result, and see what majority
was needed to count Caldwell in. In
conclusion it says: Whatever the final
count may show, we have already
gained far more than we expected

LOUISVILLE.
A. Address by BIanton Duncan.

LOUISVILLE, August 7.-Blanton
Duncan, Chairman Of the Democratic
Executive Committee, has issued sn
address for the committee, and recon-
mended the immediate organization Of
the Democratic party in every county
in the Union, and that the delegates to
the Louisville Convention, to meet the
Sd OF September, be chosen on or before
August 25. The address is quite
lengthy. He enumerates reasons why
the Dem ocrstic party cannot support
Horace Greeley and clasp hands with
the worst men in the Republican party,
Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull sndFenton.
They are the men who have riveted the
chains on the South, and have been
most ferocious against the Southern
people; but seek for the highest emol-
uments of this country by trade with
Tsmmsny politicians, with a promise
of dividing the spoils. The address
mentions with bitterness Wsrmoth,
who is to be returned to Congress, Gov.
Pease Of Texas, Senator Rice of Ar
kansas, and others. The dividing OF
the Radical party into two factions
gives the Democrats a chance OF elect
ing q candidate, and hundreds Of thou
sands propose to maintain its organizs.
ton. He closed with an earnest appeal
to true Democrats to begin the work OF
organization.

IOWA.
Terrible Hail storm.

Sioux CRY, August IA gentleman
arrived here last night from a point in
Dakota, opposite to Lynn county, where
a terrible hail storm took place on the
Sd inst. He says the storm extended
in Dakota and did an immense amount
Of damage, fully corroborating the let
ter published ia the Sioux City Journal
on Sunday last. The storm ruled with
great fury for thirty minutes, and COM
pletely destroyed hundreds Of acres OF
corn. There has been no loss Of life
30 far as heard from, but it is believed
that if any one was unfortunate enough
to have been caught out on the prairie,
he or she must have perished, as the
hail stones fell as large as hens eggs,
and from that up to fourteen inches in
circumference, and in great quantities.
This terrible storm will be severe TO the
settlers in northwestern Iowa and east
ern Dakota. The prospects for heavy
yield OF corn we're excellent, but are
now completely ruined. Small grains,
however, were nearly all cut, and will
not be very seriously injured.

Judge David Davis and General
FarnsWOrth for Greeley.

Judge David Davis ana General
Farnsworth for Greeley.
CHICAGO. August l.-Having seen 1t
stated that Judge David Davis was
about to write letter declaring himself
for Greeley, and the Judge being in
town, this evening the agent OF the
American Press Association called on
him, and asked the truth Of the report.
The Judge replied that he had never
thought OF such thing; that his per-
sonal preferences were his own concern
that he supposed his public letter de-
clining the nomination Of the Columbus
Convention showed plainly enough that
he intended to vote for Horace Greeley.
The Judge said he had for some years
been dissatisfied with Grant, and could
not support him. He thinks the. pros,
poets for the election Of Horace Greeley
are good.
General Farusworths letter declaring
for Horace Greeley excites some COM
ment, though it has for some time been
supposed that he would take this course.
The Republican papers say that it was
caused solely by his failure to secure
re nomination in the recent Republican
Convention in his district, for which he
was an active candidate.

An Extensive Fire.

LONDON, August IA dispatch from
St. Petersburg just received here states
that 8 terrible confagration broke out
in Nishninosgovod, where the grea,
annual fair is now in progress. This
fair, which is the largest held in any
city in the world, commenced on the
first of July. 1t is held on triangular
space on the right bank OF the river
Volga. Immense quantities Of goods
and merchandise everywhere have been
already destroyed by the fire, and it il
feared the fair ground will be swept
clear Of buildings before the flames can
be arrested. The authorities Of the city
are exertirg themselves to their utmost
to stop the further progress OF the flames
but with what measure Of success can
not vet be learned.

ONE Of the very best provisions in the
new Constitution is that clause which
permits defendant in case before .
Justice, where the amount exceeds $50,
to remove it to the County Court and
thus secures 9 trial by jury. When
the defendant finds the magistrate is an
unscrupulous scoundrel, that he is
preiudiced against him or that he has
been bought by the plaintiff, so that he
cannot secure justice he can take II into
the County Court with out having the
magistrates costs added to an appeal
case. Thus A owes B s. and B war
rants him for $50. Now A admits that
he owes B So and OF course Judgement
will pc given against A but he denies that
he owes B $50 II the magistrate is
bought up in the interest Of b, A will
object to giving the case a trial when
be is certain to lose and be forced 10 ap-
peal. What then will he do? Simply
take it TO the County Court without
taking it before the justice. These
Courts set every sixty days and there
can be but little delay. This is another
safeguard thrown around the rights OF
the poor man, for how easy is it for the
rich to gain tn" favor ofthe magistrate
and secure q judgement against the man
Of small means, but give him this
chance to 90 before a jury of his couu-
trymcn and justice will be done him.
Yet il he sees he must pay the magls-
trates costs and the costs Of the appeal
he finds it cheaper to give up the $25,
wrongfuIly claimed, than to go to the
expense OF two trials.

In 1864 and '65, Bank township

votes, and when the Constitution of
West Virginia was rejected by Congress
and sent back with an amendment to
be voted on, four more Democrats dared
to be free and voted against the amend
ment; and Colonel Polsly beingin COM
mand near the place Of voting, Git being
customary to get passes to 60 through
the picket lines,) one Of these men
found himself in the guard.house, and
all four Of their names were heralded
through the valleys and over the noun
taius of West Virginia by the IntelG-
qencer as men who dared to vote against
the will OF the dominant party then
ruling in the State. In the fall Of 1865
there was not one Mcclellan ticket al
lowed at the polls, and the merchant
at whose store the election was
held was charged with having left, to
keep from voting for A. Lincoln, and
the citizen voters (Republicans) sat
upon the counter, while the men dressed
in blue uniforms (for there were SOL
diers at elections then to protect the

word of remonstrance against such con.
