DEATH IN THE KrrCHHN.-A startling emm-

the way in which it was used was equivalent

The North Car0lfna Election.

North Carolina has always claimed to be
democratic State, and no one is surprised that
she has proved it. The republican party car
ried the State in 1872 only by those extreme
and exceptional exertions which are made in
Presidential elections The heavy pressure Of
the administration having been withdrawn
North Carolina takes her place among the
conservative States of the South, and is likely
to keep it unless the radical party becomes
much worse than it was in 1879, which is i'm
possible, OF, much better, which is improba-
ble The administration cannot coerce this
State again, and it is not likely it
can persuade it; for the victory of the
democracy is decisive. majority much
larger than any one had reason to expect, q
democratic Legislature and seven democratic
Representatives out of the eight which North
Carolina sends to Congress-, are facts which
should make it impossible TO change her po-
ltical complexion in the sext two years. The

Ryan's Rake.

There are at least eight hotels, eating
Park-namely, Mount St Vincent the Casino
the Refectory at the Museum, the Terrace Ice
Cream Saloon, the Dairy and three refresh
ment houses at the Lake which do large
business in the winter. These are all run by
Columbus Ryan, Cornelius Ryan, or @. Ryan,
and, although we are not in the habit of ad-
vert'slng houses OF entertainment gratis, we
VIII state that the wines and liquors sold by
tne Superintendent of the Central Park
70 the visitors of that popular resort are
OF fair quality To be sure some
temperance apostles make wry faces at
the spectacle Of "drinks round within the
sacred precincts of the Park, and think that
the Commissioners might leave the liquor
business TO outsiders without discredit to the
department. But these are mere prejudices.
and 1t would seriously detract from the profits
OF Columbus Cornelius and @. Ryan if cham
pagne' brandy, rum. gin and whiskey wero
prohibited beverages. The dust IN the Park
creates thirst-we do not isinuate that the
Superintendent leaves the roads in a dusty
condition for Columbus sake-end il wouId
be cruelty to cut off the parched travellers
drinks, even if Cornelius does not nav the
license fee for the sale of liquors that il
exacted of unfortunate outsiders.
Now, the business being brisk at the Park
saloons, it will not be out of place to inquire
what profit the people, who are the owners of
the Park, derive from it2 They pay Columbus
five thousand dollars o year, except when O
warrant goes astray to Cornelius, for keeping
these eating and drinking houses, and they pay
Charles II. Trimble, Columbus son-in-law,
for helping him, some two thousand five
hundred dollars year. Both are on the Park
payroll The people would like to know If
this joint salary of seven thousand five hun
dred year is in addition to the free benefit of
ice, hay, the fishing privileges, grazing for
COWS, &C., OF whether these are paid
for by Columbus, Cornelius, G. Ryan
or any other person? Catfish and
coffee are favorite meal in the Park but do
the people, who have made and keep the
ponds get any profit from the sale of the
fish? Then, again, they would like to know
how much percentage is paid into the treasury
for rent of the refreshment houses and
who makes or examines the returns of the
receipts? And while the questioning fit il on,
they may be allowed to inquire whether the
receipts go as the law requires, directly into
the hands of the City Chamberlain, or whether
they are deposited in the Bank of the Me-
tropolis, and, if so, in whose namep Will
Columbus or some one else furnish Us the in
formation?

maneuvre, and who do not observe that this
relation with Northern democrats and the
class of political 'rounders'' who are called
liberal republicans is necessary part of that
policy Of approaches toward extreme Southern
men which is notoriously practised by the
administation-for these, but not for others,
there is some improbability in Grants repeat
ing the candidacy of Greeley if he finds by
and by that he cannot do better.
But the heads of the democrats and the lib
eral republicans must be strangely turned be-
fore they can accept the candidate though
this also was said in the case Of Greeley no
longer before the last canvass than we are now
before the next Is liberal republican any
thing other than o republican who opposes
the administration, and especially those acts
Of the administration which are classed to-
gether under the name of Grantism? Greeley,
Sumner, Schurz and their adherents were in
sympathy with all that may fairly be called
republicanism I; but what they opposed was
that policy in the administration which treated
the Presidency as piece Of personal property,
and their opposition began when that corrup-
ton first became fragrant which resulted from
appointments made not for fitness or capacity
but for personal fealty
Upon what do the democrats base their hope
for victory in the next Presidential canvass
Their great capital before the people is the
corruption of the party in power, its infamous
administration of the law in the Southern
States and it's shameless disregard of decency
and honesty everywhere. 1t is this miscon-
duct that has provoked reaction and still adds
State after State to the number Of those which
give democratic majoritiea But before these
Southern democrats or Northern democrats
take any irretraceable step in their political re-
lations with the President it would be we'll for
them to examine closely just how much of
that odium which weighs down the party they
