North Carolina Election.

Returns sufficient from the election in this
State, have at last been received to insure the
election of Caldwell, Radical, for Governor.
A no time were we over-cou6dent of the sue
cess of the Democracy in this State. To over
come the huge mass ofignoranee in near 80, 600
negroes and the money from the Federal Treas
ury, would have been almost miracle. As
it is the Democrats carry the Legislature by a
majority of Is on joint ballot, and it is proba-
BILE they have elected Democrat, Lieut.. Gov
ernor, and out Of 8 Congressman Cald-
wells majority is put at from 800 TO 1000
We fail 10 see much for Administration papers
TO crow ovcr--as they gain nothing but bare
majority for Governor-and this, too, after the
Administration had put forth such gigantic
efforts. Besides this, it is stated that there has
been fraud on the part of the Radicals, in an
importation of negro voters from the border
counties. No doubt the old North State will
be fright side up'' in November, as the Demo-
Gratis will have ample time to correct whatever
errors they may have themselves committed,
as well as to expose the frauds on the other
side. Put North Carolina in the Democratic
column. On fair count her vote will never
be cast for Grant.

we can't help saying that they are coming a

The Seneca Falls Reveille gives a list of thir-

The Scandinavians of the West, on whom

Greeley as a TYpo.

The following extract from letter of ]. s.
Redfield, the veteran publisher, may teach the
Republicans, who so admire Henry Wilson
as working man, that there are other peo-
pie deserving like admiration
1T was in 1882 or 80, think, that being
at one time much in need of more composiors,
! asked those in the Office to let the fact be
known at their respective boarding houses.
Among others who applied for work in re-
spouse to this call was a queer looking chap
brought in by one Of the hands in the Office
lie WAS of rather more than medium height {;
his hair was almost white, bis face quite 80
and entirely beardless, and he walked with a
shutting and uncertain gait. lie wore very
old white hat and fustian pantaloons which
did not come down to his boots, and these
completed n personality which had never be-
fore met with in a compositor, and turning to
Seymour, who brought him, ] inquired if
that fellow was n compositor. lie replied,
Ile'sa queer looking fellow, but they say
he's a good workman Being too much in
want OF help to be very particular about the
appearance of cotnpositor, gave him case
and copy; and you may judge of my surprise
when tell you TINT his weekly bills exceeded
by from thirty TO fifty per cent. those of the
other compositors by his side who were on the
same work. And what was equally remarka-
BILE, no matter how he picked up the type
with his fingers, the stream of talk that rolled
off his tongue was never interrupted. lie talk
ed necessarily. When he made out his first
bill, learned that his name was Horace
Greeley.
In those days be was compostor, and n
good one. He set type rapidly and made
clean proof. When he was young man he
did his work well, and now that he is an old
one, and there is big take ahead to give
out, propose that We give ii TO him."

HORACE GREELEY VIRGINIA FREE HOLDER
1t may not be generally known that Hon.
Horace Greeley owns some 500 to COO acres of
land in Buckingham county, Virginia, but we
have the fact direct from undoubted authority,
and the circumstances under which he acquir-
cd his landed possessions were characteristic
of his kindlness and generosity. Somebody
who had been induced by the representations
of the Tribune, and by Mr. Greeley's personal
advice, TO invest in Virginia lands, came back
to him not long after and complained that he
bad been swinded by the land agents. Mr..
Greeley did not have time to listen TO the
mans reproaches, or TO make any explanation
and simply proposed to take the land off his
hands, to which the other gladly and prompt
" consented. The land lies in the gold mine
district of Buckingham county. and is said to
be very poor and worthless. --Petcrsburg Ind.
