iority here was 1871, fact due mai!y to
certain domestic discussions among
the negroes which caused polling of
8 netting liss5 600 votes less than
their Ieai strength. In the Gaberna-
tOriai election IN 1872 these 500 negroes
all voted, aud Che Democratic majority
was thereupon reduced to 81 for Merri-
mon. During the election gust clio sed the
hardest kind of a fight was made here.
Headen, the candidate for Congress,
from the Raleigh (Fourth( district,
was from this county, and on account
Of his extensive family injections
and his assumed popularity here, the
Radicals jubilant!y claimed that they
would carry the county by 500 ms )ri-
ty. They seemed to have made this
the battle ground of the district, and
here their forces were concentrated
during the week proceeding the cleo
ton. Headen and Young and Purneu
and Mcdonald and Long, all great
apostles of Radicalism in this section.
were sent down here to marshal the
black cohorts foc the comming frav.
They were met at every point by Hon.
John Manning and Mr.. Henry A. Lon
don. Jr.. who contested the ground
with them step by step. The white
people in this county worked every
where as they had never worked be-
fore, and when election day came, and
the votes were counted out, it was
found that Mr.. Headen's boosted ma
jority of 500 had gone back on him
with Vengeance, for Pool swamped
Purnell by the snug little majority Of
1886, gain, according to Radical cal
culations, of early J,000 votes. The
fight here was a fierce one, and each
party brought out it's full strength. It
wes certainly a glorious victory here,
as it was erywhere else. But, my
time, and the patience Of your readers
having both alike spun out, I must
close. Yours, SOMETIMES.

fertilizers than last year the farmer
had little or no credit with the mer-
chant. and has been compelled to work
his farm and employ his labor at the
least possible cost, and hence 1t Is estl-
mated that the general cotton crop OF
the State has been made at much less
expense every way Than heretofore
while the crop will be a good one.
AS a consequence, the incoming crop
will put the farmer in a more healthy
condition than he has enjoyed Tor
many wears. He will be enabled to
relieve himself to great extent OF the
old debts which he has lad to carry,
the results of former extravaganza; he
will become to greater or less extent
independent of any one merchant, and
will then be enabled to buy his goods
as cheap as other people, and thereby
save from 80 to 80 per cent.
Put ali these things together, make
the farmer more independent, and we
cannot see what is to prevent a more
healthy trade-one wanting IN that
wild feYerishness which has character
lied trade for the last few years, but
something that will indicate the begin
ming of that prosperity which will
sooner or later be ours if we but ex-
ercise that prudence which past exper-
fence should dictate.

does he hail from? Is he friend and
acquaintance of ex-Scalawag Governor
Holden, of North Carolina, and, if SO,
is he not something of an historical
celebrity in the cold North State %
We wonder if he would not like to pay
lis friends there flying visit, or if he
feels apprehensive that he would be
invited by them to keep on flying
When we clean out heAugean stable
Of the South, this Fall, we sue gest the
propriety of the various plundered,
thief-ridden States, adopting some ex-
tradition arrangements, by which they
will turn over to each other the ras-
Gals who have made themselves speci-
ally odious in certain communities. If

INFLUX OF NEGROES TO THE
CITIES.

DR.. H. V. Redfeld the distinguished
southern correspondent of the Cincln-
natl Commercial. writes to that paper
that the gravitation Of the negroes to-
wards the Southern cities still con-
tinues. There the worst of them 1--we IN
shanties and novels, and disease and
death stalk among them. Ii the cities
they die from forty to eighty per cent.
faster than the whites. This leads to
the belief that, as race, they are on
the decline; that they are dying faster
than they are coming into the world.
The numbers in which they are flock
ing into the cities are partially shown
in the last census, With the late civil
rights agitation and bitter feeling IN
the country, the flow to the cities has
been still more largely increased. He
says: I take Tire cities of Columbia
and Charleston, South Carolina, and
Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee,
as illustrations, representing as they
do border State and a cotton State.
In 1860 the white population of Co.
lumbia was 4, 395 and the black 1861.
In 1870 the black Lad risen to 1926
and the white had fallen to 1902. In
Charleston in 1860, the white popula-
ticn was -, 32I and the back II, 146.
In 1870 the white was %, 749 and the
black 26 I73
In Nashville, in 1850, tie white
population was 1903 and the black
1915. In 1870 it stood 16, 149 white
and 9,709 black. In IL, mphis, il 1860,
it was 1S, 739 white and $3.50 black.
Ia 1870 It Was D, 755 white an,i Is, All
black.
In every southern city the same
state OF affairs exists Tie increase
of negroes to Whites Is enormous -
This does not represent an actual n
crease, but only. shows that the agri-
cultural districts are being drained to
supply the cities with material for dis
ease and Geuth. The inevitable re-
suit will he the gradual decline OF the
African race in America. Hudllej
into cities, they are n prey to ep.dem-
les. and fall before the breath OF tie
des troyer by thousands.

WE THOUGHT sT WAS A MIS-
TAKE.

The following letter from Governor
Vance explains itself. We thought,
says the Raleigh Nesos, it impossible
that he should have made such state
ment to the Herald correspondent, for
while there is no nan in the State pos
sessing more thoroughly the admira-
ton of the people, we know he will
never forestall the action of a Conyen-
ton by any such assertion. Says he,
in letter to the Charlotte Observer,
under date of August 9th:
"Messrs. Editors The many in
accuracies occurring in the report OF
what purports to be an interview
in recent copy of the New York
Herald, between one of it's reporters
and myself, I do not care to correct, as
they are mostly immaterial. But the
concluding statement, that | admitted
that it was quite probable I would be
candidate for Governor at the next
election, do desire to correct. The
reporter is mistaken. I deny that soft
impeachment. AS at present advised,
I have no desire or intention whatever
of becoming a candidate for that po-
sition; and if [ did, should not this
far ahead undertake to forestlal the
free action of the CONGRATULATIONS
cratic party. ;,
