The NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION

The Democrats claim to have carried
North Carolina by 1900 majority. In
1872 Gov. Caldwell received 9S, $50 votes,
and Merrimop, the Democratic candidate.
96,T31. In 1874, for Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, Pool DemocraD re-
ceived 9S, 217 votes, 9 gain of 1,500 on
Merrimon's vote, and Purneu (Republican)
received 81, 595 votes, loss from Cald-
wells vote of 14,035. This year the Re-
publican candidate received over los, 900
votes, which is 10, 900 more than was ever
before polled for the Republican ticket.
The Democrats claim to have received
12j. 600, which is $1,000 more than any
Democrat ever received in the State. This
makes total of 233. 600 votes polled The
census of 1870 shows that there were
214, 224 citizens in North Carolina that
year. The average rate Of increase, as
shown by the census tables from 1880 to
1870, was eight per cent. for each decade.
Applying this ra:e, the increase of the vote
from 1870 to 1876 would be II, 900, and
would give a total of 225, 900 voters
in North Carolina in 1876. 1t is a we'll
established fact that it is very seldom that
more than eight out of every ten qualified
voters ever vote at any election, yet here
we have, according to Democratic reports.
5000 more votes polled than there can be
voters in the State. This beats even the
Democrats of Arkansas, who in their pre-
tended election on the constitutional con-
vention only reported within five hundred
Of the number of voters in that State. We
merely give these figures to show the pso-
pie of the North one of the methods by
which 'fhe solid South is carried for
''Tilden and Reform" As their canvass
ii North Carolina has been q spirited one,
it is barely possible that nine tenths of the
legal voters went to the polls. As there are
225, 600 legal voters, this would give vote
of 1872 500, and as it is admitted that the
Republican candidates received los, 600
votes, would give the Democrats 81, 500
votes, about what they received, showing
that the Democratic ballot-box suffers
added only $500 to the number of votes
polIed for their candidates.

arise which may make a new election in
the four negro States of the South the
only way Of settling the issues of law and
of fact as they stand involved in those
States in the matter of the recent Presi-
dental election. In such case we should
certainly see Mississippi give solid black
majority for Hayes Of from Is, 900 to 20. 600.
Louisiana would not fall behind Missis-
sippi, and Florida and South Csrolins
would also arrange themselves on the Re-
publican side.
If new election could aud should be
ordered, as suggested, it would be neces-
sary TO give ample protection to electors in
each of these States. This protection could
not end with the election. 1t would in
volve of necessity permanent policy for
these States, which would effectually shield
the black voters from the hate and vim
dictiveress of those whom their ballots had
thus oyerthrown. TIE new election would,
therefore, involve not only investigation
into the affairs of these negro majority
States, but the policy of Federal protec-
tion over them until they should be strong
enough to protect themselves. ..,...
The proposition of our correspondent is
an important one, but surrounded by Sc
rious difficulties. We certainly need to
know all the facts of the case, and the
States in question need protection. Sooner
or later these facts will be known. Sooner
or later these States will stand under the
shelter of a powerful Congressional Repub-
lican protectorate, or we shall drift into a
white mans confederation, with negro
serldom for its corner stone. Out Of this
last state will come new war. For these
reasons it is bes! to settle this question now,
to settle it right and it is best to settle it so
that it will remain settled.

HON. j. c. s. BLACKBURN, of Kentucky,
our Democratic candidate for the Speakership,
is developing more power and popularity
than we had anticipated. Prominent Demo-
Gratis say that Mr.. Tilden is sure to be next
President, and the plan which they have ar
ranged involves the placing of just such q
man as Mr.. Blackburn is represented to be in
the Speakers chair of this Confederate House.
1t is ALLEGED that with man of pluck for
Speaker the majority of the House will object
to the counting of votes Of several of the
Southern States, and although the President
of the Senate may declare that Hayes and
Wheeler have a majority Of all the votes in
the Electoral Colleges AMI are constitutionally
elected as President and Vice President of the
United States for the term of four years from
the 4th OF March next, the House will protest,
and declare that there is no choice by the peo-
pie, whereupon Mr.. Speaker Blackburn will
Immediately announce that the regular order
in the House is the election of President of
the United States as provided by the Constitu-
tion. He will refuse TO entertain any other
business until this is accomplished. The
Republicans will, of course, decline to
take any part in the proceedings, but
the Democrats will go through the
farce of casting the vote of twenty-three
States for Mr.. Tilden as President, and will
proclaim the fact to the country as officially
and constitutionally performed. Then Mr..
Tilden will make his arrangements to be sworn
in, probably on the Sd of March, before some
competent Justice, as President of the United
States. He will then issue proclamation as
suming the duties of the Office, and announc-
ing himself as the legally-chosen Executive of
the Government. He will call upon all good
citizens to sustain him and give him their
countenance and support, and will issue his
orders to the heads of the Executive Depart
ments and the General of the Army, and the
Admiral of the Navy, commanding them to
obey him and no other pretended Executive.
1t is easy to see that the above programme
cannot be carried out without the most reck-
less, interruptions, bold and violent sort of
man for Speaker of the House. Who will he
be? The action of the Democratic caucus on
Saturday will determine this question.

"a LITTLE more grape, Capt. Bragg" has
become historical, and whether ever said or
not, will pass 'fdown the corridors of time"
and become classic. 1t is Eot bad phrase,
and while a great deal has been done in the
Executive Departments towards scattering the
Democrats. Improperly domiciled in them, we
would remind the Secretaries that ga little
more grape" properly applied, would scatter
some more who, like Peter, have denied their
master. 1t may not be amiss to recall the
conduct and sayings of James Guthrie when
he became Secretary of the Treasury. He had
list of the employees in the Treasury brought
to him, and asked the political status of each
man. OF one it was said, 'fHe is Whig.''
discharge him at once" said Guthrie. "But,
he is an excellent clerk" was the answer.
"No matter, discharge him." said Guthrie.
OF another he was told, ''That man is Whig,
but he is indispensable" discharge him,
was Guthrie's answer; off cannot find enough
Democrats competent to run the Treasury
will lock the door and throw tie key into the
Potomac" Substituting the word "Republi-
can" for "Demccrat," )" in the last sentence, we
commend it to the members Of the Cabinet.

MIN engaged in trade, as we'll as those
who are consumers, should remember that
the way to keep money plenty is by aiding its
circulation. All should, therefore, keep pay
ing their bills and avoid boarding money in
their pockets, Those who have a surplus
should deposit in the banks, where it can be
loaned out, and thus kept in circulation. If
the ten million heads of families in this coun-
try should each hoard up in their houses or
pockets ten dollars, this act would subtract
one hundred millions from the aggregate cir
culstipg medium of the nation and cause q
stringency. Double or treble the amount,
and the stringency would become financial
panic that would stop circulation entirely.

REFERENCE 10 our telegrams will disclose
the fact that smallpox RACES fearfully in
Manitoba. it is also reported that the public
schools Of Trenton, n. j., have been closed by
this fearful scourge. The seers haye been
prophesying that this year was to be notable
for the prevalence of storms, cyclones, pesti-
lences and sudden deaths. They have said
that they go read the stars. All these prophe-
cies have been fulfilled except that relating to
smallpox, as laid down in the horoscope of
Mrs. Ellis. And now the latter is making its
appearance. Let our Board of Health take
notice. Let all necessary precautions be taken
to prevent the advent of the seourge in this
metropolis. People from all sections of the
country will soon congregate here, and there
is the prospect of large transient population
being domiciled with US this winter.

4 POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE

A correspondent "a Southern Whig) in
a communication published elsewhere in
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN suggests the
policy of new election in Mississippi
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina, as
Offering the true solution of the present
political crisis in American affairs. We
suppose this to be utterly impracticable.
As the facts stand to-day, Gov. Hayes will
be inaugurated President of the United
States in due course of law, as the sue
cessor of Gen. Grant. Nevertheless, our
correspondent thinks an exigency may
