THE POLITICAL REACTION.

Aud SO it turns out that few of the
Northern Republican papers really
have penetration enough to see, and
honesty enough to acknowledge, the
victories recently gained by the Dem
ocratic party. The New York Post,
Republican, q paper which is never
afraid to speak its mind freely, no mat
ter how much it may initiate against
party policy, has taken n calm survey
Of the field, and sums up its observa-
tions as follows:
$50 far, during this year, the Demo
| Gratis, as an organization distinct from
the opposition of the administration
| party, III most OF The States, have talk
| en- the lead and made substantial
gains. In the spring they carried New
! Hampshire and Connecticut, gaining a
| United States Senator in the latter
| State. The first summer election was
that of Oregon, and there again they
were victorious. Then followed some
local election, like that at Vicksb1trg,
which reported Democratic gains
Kentucky repeated it's usual vote by
electing Democratic State officer
Tennessee, tired of the persoaI quar-
rels Of Brownlow, Johnson and May
nard, has apparently been given up t.
the opposition in any shape it may as
sumo, and its shape there happens tt
be "Bourbon Democracy" Finally
North Carolina, as was anticipated
has reversed its vote of 1872, an(
given the Democrats gain of two
members of Congress. With this los
result we shall expect to see the Dem
ocratic newspapers bring out thei
roosters, and boast of their prospect
in large head lines. So many victorie
in SO short time, without single re
verse, would be enough to turn th'
head of steadier party them tina
which calls itself Democratic, and W
expect the Democratic party to indulg
in excessive demonstrations of joy, ant
to build extravagant castles in the al
for future occupation.

Qucntly, some other device must he
made to get troops in the South to III
huence elections. It has not been
forgotten how ef1icacious the bayonet
was IN promoting the election of Radi-
cal officials, and just about now it is
very desirable to bring people to their
senses, for the "party" must beupheld.
Supervisor Perry, Familiarity known
as Long Perry, as fine a specimen of
''pesky Yankee carpet bagger as the
country furnishes, has been on to
Washington City, and his fertile brain
has already devised taking scheme
to fill our State with Federal troops.
correspondent of the New York
Herald writes from Washington City
as follows in regard to this plan of
Long Perry
So great victory on the part of the
Democrats, he fears, will encourage
illicit distillation, and he will ask that
military posts be established in the
parts of the State where it has already
been suppressed.
This is, to be sure, a very shallow
pretence for establishing military
posts, and placing the State under
semi mi-nailitary government, but Perry
is in trouble and he does not stop at
trifles. "Let us carry the State" is
his cry, and lie believes that the strong
arm of power is the only means to ac-
complish it. Therefore he would
recommend an outlay of O million of
dollars to maintain standing army to
save the Government one thousand
dollars in the way of internal revenue.
Too late, 'Long Perry" The day has
gone when Southern elections can be
carried by Federal bayonets. Depend
uron the negroes or give up the ship.

Dinner.
CLINTON. n. G.. Aug. Il, Is

CLlNTON. N. ~. aug. Ii, 1Oit.
Dear Journal Two hours and a
half ride, on the fiery and kissing steed,
has drawn us away from the busy
Metropolis, Wilmington, and left us at
the quiet little village of Warsaw.
Here we alight from the cars, to take
our own time in the enjoyment of q
three hours ride, in and out among
the pine trees, then by some green
meadow, or near some old field,
grassed with feathery sprays, with an
occasional stop-to pick some little
bright red or black whortleberry, that
ventured to show itself nestled so cum
ningly in the grass, among the bushes
along the road side.
In due time, we reach the city of
Clinton, the guest of our highly es-
teemed and much honored fellow-citi-
zen, DR.. c.. Tate Murphy, where after
a night of the deepestand mostrefresh-
ing sleep, we wake in the morning to
lovely fresh scenes Of welcome, and to
enjoy the hospitality of our good ma
tured Sampsoniaps at their yearly
"Sampson County Farmers Club
Dinner"
AS the clouds at morning, tinged by
the rising sun, float on, and mingle
into one go, the gentle zephyr, with its
summer currents flowing smoothly
along, soon silences their threatening
aspect, leaving us clear sky and a
sweet August day for enjoyment and
fun.
On the Fair ground, some one thou
| sand souls have assembled to enjoy
their yearly dinner, greeting each
other with happy smiles and faces,
over the success and complete triumph
of Conservatism, under the manage
ment of their President, Mr.. J. X.
Pigford, who has spared no pains in
preparing such dinner that will ever
remain in the mind of those who were
present, as q reminiscence of the hos
| pitalities of the Sampson boys. Every
| thing that was nice to satisfy the inner
man, could be found upon the tables
in the Farmers Club Hall, and it is
needless to say all acquitted them.

cent successful attack on the enemy s
heretofore impregnable works in that

in well-earned leasure and quiet. Col.

guest at the Atlantic, and adds much
to our social recreation. Mr.. W. j.

with a portion of his interesting fami-

largely and agreably represented, and
with Charlotte and Raleigh, and Fay

SENSIBLE REPU.LlCAN VIEW,

The Washington Chronicle. Repub-
lican in politics, in referring to the
Vicksburg election, well says: "If the
colored men in the Southern States
are to become useful and worthy cit
liens, it can never be done by making
the question of color an issue in the
political canvass. This of necessity
arouses the worst passions of both
races, and in every instance, thus far.
has been the defeat of the colored
men," The Chronicle adds: "The diff
ticIlty in these cases is scarcely ever
attributable to the colored men them
selves, or leaders of their own race.
1t is generally occasioned by the
selfish course of some debased white
demagogues, who incite this feeling in
the hope of gaining political Office for
themselves, and so long as this class
OF men are allowed any influence or
control in public affairs in a city or
State, SO long will these unfortunate
contests arise. Peace, harmony, and
a united de- for tho public good,
without reference to race or color, is
the only security for the prosperity of
the community; and the sooner the
Southern country is rid of these pesti-
lent instigators, the better for all citi-
zeEs, whether white or black; and if
they were to suffer from the summary
punishment they seek to excite against
their neighbors, the loss to the COM
munity would be small, and the pub
lie benefit intellectually great"

The season is now we'll nigh at hand

pose to try it tomorrow.
One of the chief pleasures of Beau
fort is the surf bathing. 1t is not only
pleasant, but it is no unseemly sight to
see forty or fifty ladies and gentlemen
buffeting the waves, arrayed in every
fashion of dress in which the various
colors of the rainbow vie with each
other In generous rivalry to lend varie-
ty to the scene. Some of the young
ladies seem much at home in the water,
and stand the trying ordeal Of the
bath with the same ease and beauty
with which they glide through the
graceful mazcs of the dance. It is
certainly fascinating and healthful
sport.
The hotel is still quito crowded, but
on Tuesday large number of guests

.rgsE SaNRORN VICTIMS.

The respectable Republicans of
Massachusetts are endeavoring to bring
Butler into disgrace by reviving his
connection with the Sanborn contracts.
The st. Louis RepuJHcan advises
them to handle the matter carefully.
It says Butler is not the only Massa-
chusetts man connected with these
contracts. There was q respectable
Republican named Boutwell,, another
by the name of Banfeld, a third by
the name of Richardson-al Massa-
chusctts men, and all respectable Re
publicans, who had as much to do
with the shameful business as Butler
himself-the only difference being that
Butler stood DIP 10 SanboTn to TIE last,
while the others tried to escape by
laying the blame on one another 8
shoulders. If the Sanborn contracts
could have their full, fair effect, they
would retire half dozen first-class
Massachusetts Republicans to an ig'
nominious obscurity.
