kEENCH ELECTIONS.

The approaching elections in France
are of acknowledged Importance
They will show which way the wind
blows, whether the breeze from the
rural districts towards Paris is a mo-
narchical steady current, a soft and
soothing MacMahon zephyr, or the
portant of an ominous Republican
hurricane. On the 18th of October
the first elections for the numerous va
cant seats in the Assembly commence.
These cover the Departments of Pas
de-Calais. Les Alpes Maritimes and
the Seine-et- Disc. All brit eight of
the vacant seats will then be filled.
Scattering elections have shown that a
tendency toward Repubiicanism is to
be feared, and therefore the Govern
ment is exerting all it's authority, and
using all the influence in it's hands to
turn the tide and carry tho day in its
favor.

\ GOOD SHIN.

One of the most cheering Indications
OF the fact that the West is beginning
to understand tbs condition of atfaiIs
in the South, and TO call for q change
in the policy OF the Goverume n
towards this section, is found III 4
resolution passed by the Liberal lie
publican and Democratic Convention
OF Minnesota. 1t is the first plank in
the platform, was adopted unanim GUS
ly, and has a pleasant sound to South
ern ears. Here it is:
believing the present disastrous
condition Of the Southern States to
I" be largely due to the corrupt rule of
carpet-bag politicians, who have
1" plundered and impoverished the
people, intensified the preiudicos of
" race and driven these communities
to the verge of civil war; knowing
that this state of cf affairs has been
developed during the administration
of President Grant, and been foster
" ed by the course OF the Republican
party, and despairing of relief, ex-
cept through a radical change of
"policy, we demand the maintenance
"of a just and impartial policy
" towards the people of the South,
" whereby both races will be protect
&C ed in their rights; the expulsion of
G. the thieves, and perfect equality
" before the law for all persons, with
" out regard to race, color or political
" opinions.
This is all the South wishes. Let
her get rid of the thieves, who are
bleeding her to death; let the Admin
istration allow the people of the South
to control their own domestic affairs
and to exercise the right of local self
government, and there will be 20 more
trouble.

KELLOGG,S ATTORNEY

We print elsewhere copies of letters
found in Governor Kellogg's Office,
when it was occupied by Lieutenant
Governor Penn, during the recen.
troubles in New Orleans. These let
tiers open up abundant material for
another Congressional investigation
next winter. It appears by them that
Benjamin F. Butler, Caleb Gushing
and William E. Chandler were the
secretly paid attorneys of Kellogg for
lobby services at Washington last
year. When the people read these
letters, and remember that MIR. Cush-
ing was nominated by President Grant
for the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, they will
have additional cause to be thankful
that the ermine did not fall upon the
shoulders Of man whose character is
certainly not so spotless as the Judi
cial fur.
The facts which the publication Of
these letters disclose, should open the
eyes of the Northern public to the
enormity of the frauds which have
been forced upon the people of Louis
lana, and the means used by men high
in the confidence OF the President and
in that of the Republican party.

EAHETTVILLE FAIR.

We learn from various sources that
our friends i'll Cumberland county are
making worthy efforts to surpass their
former success, and render the No
vember Fair fine exposition.
The Special Premium List by the
business men of Fayetteville, already
published, argues well for the interest
taken in the annual Fair at that point.
The Intelligence, energy and practical
experience of the Managers of the
Cumberland County Agricultural So
ciety, is an earnest of the character of
their approaching Convention of
farmers and all other classes. Success
to all such gatherings of farmers,
grargers, mechanics, artizans, invent
ors, manufacturers and citizens.

SAMPSON COUNTY AND THE
SAMPSON FAIR.

Way down In San nson, among the
pines, and the hills, and the swamps,
animals for exhibition are being fat
tened for the Sampson County Agri-
cultural Society, which holds its an
nual meeting on day which at this
time we are unable to designate. The
Agricultural Journal says it will be
held at Clinton, -. When that is,
We are not aware; but no doubt it will
be IN some of those beautiful days Of
October or November when we find
Autumn holding DER the yellow plain"
We put this Agricultural Fair first,
because it is likely to be the least.
Does not the Scripture say the last
shall be first and first last ? Sampson
County Fnir is likely to be the least in
importance, because it is the youngest
of them ail-the Society is still in its
| swaddling clothes.
We copy the above from the Char
lotte Observer in no captious spirit, but
with the desire to make few correc-
| tons. Our contemporary is mistaken
in regard to the age and Importance OF
the Sampson County Agricultural So
ciety and it's annual fairs. Fairs were
held in Sampson County, under the
auspices OF the Society, several years
previous to the war, making it one OF
the very Oldest Fairs held in the State.
Then, too, it ranks in Importance
| among the first. Indeed. viewed en-
tirely from an agricultural point OF
view, leaving ont your trials OF
speed" side shows and gambling
stalls, we believe we would be justi-
| fed in saying that it is the most sue
cessful fair held in the State. We
who have seen Agricultural Societies
hold fairs, as i'll Wilmington and Char
lotte, and fail, and then build up other
societies On their ruins, or attempt to
do so, have 10 good reason to turn up
our city noses at fairs held among
the pines, and the hills and the
swarlps."
| And Just here we desire, in behalf
of our Sampson friends, to extend an
invitation to our good friends of the
| Observer. to come down to the next
| air TO De uGtIi III hlSl We
promise him, III addition to hearty
| welcome, he viii be astonished at the
fine cattle, the splendid farm and
household products, and the we'll Gull
tivated plantations that will meet his
astonished vision. Then, too, he will
form the acquaintance of as high
toned, intelligent and Industrious &
population as he will find in any other
county in North Carolina.
Our friends are not the first persons
we have met in this State who We're
ignorant both as to the people and re
sources OF Sampson. Indeed we doubt
if there is any county in Eastern OF
Middle North Carolina so little known
or is there one which possesses more
in its people, its soil, and its resources
more worthy Of notice. We hope oul
Cbscrrer friends will come down ant
and go with us to the Sampson Fair.

A NOT WEIR CAEsEsE-rsR -
TRAY TAKES TO FLIGHT.

"Governor" Ames left Mississippi a
few days ago for his home in Massa-
chusetts without giving the slightest
notice to the Lieutenant-G as
to his intention of leaving, Or the
probable length of his stay. Lieut.
enant-Governor Davis (negro) is not.
however, slow to discover a vacancy
in the Executive office, AID on Wednes-
day. the 10th, arrived in Jacks IN and
took charge Of affairs.
The sudden departure OF the Massa-
chuse milk-sop for his New Eng
land home and the protection of his
pappy-in-law, the redoubtabie com
mander of the silver spoon brigade, IS
perhaps accounted for by the fact that
ex-Attorney General Morris recer fly
delivered speech before the Repub-
ican club at Jackson, Miss, in inch
the personal character aud political
record Of the former was subjected
to scathing review. Mr.. Morris,
in his arraignnent of Ames, which
occupies six columns of the Vicks-
burg Herald, charges him openly and
plainly with all the evils that affiict the
people of Mississippi, such as exorbi-
tant taxation, sustaining pampered
pets and thieves, all of them wholly
untitled to fill the positions they occu-
Ply, and with generally provoking the
public apprehension to the verge of
armed revolt, SO nearly SO that Morris
predicted that if Kellogg was not sus-
tanned Ames would never return to the
State of which he is Governor but not
a citizen.
Had such an intimation come from a
Mississippi Democrat we should doubt
less ere this have heard of the dispatch
of United States troops to Mississippi.
But now that Kellogg has been re-
stored, and has resumed his outrages
upon the PROSTATE people Of the Louis
lara province, protected by United
States bayonets, the miserable skulker
Ames, may venture back to his satrapy
without Federal body-guard.

The statements in the recent letter
OF Marshal Bazaire may be all true,
but the document is a weak one-in
fact Bazaine is weak, vain and rather
stupid old man, with clever wife. If
he does not look upon his military ca
reer as ended, others dc. While speak
ing OF Bazaine, not to speak of his
wife would ignore the romance of his
life. He married her in Mexico, and
she comes from q town renowned for

w AG LEE.
A Chinanan,s Recital Of His
Troubles in the Mclean Couatry.

! Troubles in the Mclean Country.
Mr.. William Lee, of the Ontario
street laundry, has not left Cleveland,
| although he has not appeared of late
in the newspapers. The fact is that
Mr.. Lee has devoted himself strictly
| to business during the last six or eight
months, aud has thereby amassed a
small amount of cash, which is des-
tined to be expended in carrying him
again to his native land, over the salt,
salt sea. But before leaving it is
simply an act of justice to state that
Mr.. Lee has attempted faithfully TO
| submit to the heathenism of this
Ito him) benighted country, and if he
does not carry away fair impress Of
hospitality or with feelings of love TO-
ward Brother Jonathan, the fault has
not been his, but that of the angular
brother on whose bosom he attempted
to lean. But it will be simply an act
of justice to friend Wan to allow linn
to explain his own feelings, as he did
on Saturday last in conversing with a
Leader reporter. He uuburdened
himself as follows
