orchestral organ is the name of a new reed
organ recently announced by Horace Wa

name from its recently invented orches-

when the stops are drawn, so that an or

What Butler Says.

Ben. Butler evidently does not intend
to push Hayes into the White House, by
the Louisiana returning board and the
acting president of the senate. In re-
gard to the latter part of the Republican
programme, he says:
If any instrument says that A and
B are to do thing-tor example to
make an award or enter Judgment
can A do it without B, or B without A 7
If both houses are to count by the con-
stitution, can one count without the 9TH
er? If so, which? If our Republican
friends in Louisiana in their letter, had
claimed the right in the president of the
senate to aGjudicate as to the propriety
or rightlulness of the electoral vote
when they made the claim that he was
to count them, should have thought it
very significant but as they have insis
ted that he is merely a machine or clerk
to register what may be sent him, do
not think the democratic party will be
likely to be much moved by their mani
testo, which certainly leaves the presi.
uSit Vi liiC sViihtS auout 40 Hdiliiitse a
piece of clockwork as could well be i'm
agined, it only being his duty to tick out
what is placed in the wheels. believe
that whoever ha, the counting of the
vote in the last resort to determine an
election, has a right to srrutinize that
vote, ascertain its Legality, its fairness
and truthtulness, and whether it repre-
sents in the case of vote by proxy, as
the electors are, the will of the people
who are their constituents. All that, OF
course, cannot be done by the president
of the senate, and therefore must be done
by the two houses. If it can be done
by the president Of the senate, then the
most alarming stride against the rights
of the people has been taken, when the
claim is made that the president of the
senate is to count the votes. Fortunate
| ly, however; the claim thus made by this
very respectable body of the Republicans
in Louisiana is entirely emasculated by
the concomitant assertion that the presl.
dent Of the senate is to be simple ma
! chine, ministerial officer or clerk"
No one possessed of common sense
or acquainted with law, can fail to OBJ
serve that the above is the plain-teach
ing of both, and very much are we mis-
taken if the matured public sentiment Of
the country does not force the Republ
cans to recognize and respect it as such

Confding FeI|ows-The Question Re
versed.

The St. Louis Republican of the list,
puts the action of the radical party in a
sorry light in contrasting the election
of States that are in the hands Of demo.
Gratis, and those in the control Of repub.
licans as follows: .,
The Republicans seem to have an i'm
plicit faith in Democratic honesty. 1t
never occurs to them that the authori-
ties of democratic state will talsl y the
returns of the late election by throwing
out votes given for Hayes. 1t is only
votes given for Tilden that are thrown
out, and it is only Republican state au-
thorites that are relied on to do this.
Ask Republican zealot who has'carried
louisiana, and he will virtually admit
that TildeH has carried it, but will be.
tray his expectation that tie Republican
returning board of that state will count
it for Hayes. Ask him who has carried
Oregon and California, and he will
promptly answer Hayes. Ask him if
the Democratic eaavassing officers of
these states may not with as much pro.
DTtlN COuHl ttltiu lOT lHucT, rs lnc nc
publican canvassing officers count Loui-
siana for Hayes, and he will stare at you
with amazement, He will not believe
such thing of the Democratic authori
ties OF California and Oregon he will
not believe them capable OF such talsi
firation. What! Give to Tilden the
electoral votes of the two states that
have declared for Hayes. The idea is
monstrous. He will not entertain it.
How strange that an act which, done
by Democrats. would be an outrage, be-
comes very proper thing when done
by Republicans How surprising that
the parallels of latitude should SO mod-
iy the rules of morality as to make what
is wrong in Oregon right In Louisiana
1t seems never to enter the minds Of the
| Republican leaders that democratic state
authorities can be guilty of the very
sort of wrongs which they are instiga-
ting the Republican state authorities of
Florida and Louisiana to commit.

sending up of a 'halfdozen balloons,
under the direction of DR.. Wright and

roar of cannon. One hundred guns were
fired Short addresses were made by

THE PARTY PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Democratic state
Convention.

Adopted by the Democratic state
Convention.
WHEREAS, The republican party of
the United States, for the last sixteen
years, has had the complete control of
the government in all its departments,
and by its disregard of Constitutional
limitations; by its unequal and OPP
pressive taxation; by its extravagant
and wasteful expenditures; by its un
wise and mischievous financial policy;
by its unexampled official corruption
pervading all branches of its admins
tration n-has brought disgrace upon
our government and unparalleled dis
tress upon our people: therefore
ResolUed, l. That in this Centennial
year of onr existence, we invite oil
patriots 10 ignore all dead issues. to
disregard the prejudicas engendered
by past events, and to unite with us in
the effort to restore a constitutional,
honest, economical and pure admins
trution of the government. and thus
promote the general welfare and hap
piness of the country.
ResOiUed, 2 That We earnestly and
cordially recomm md the adoption, by
the people, of the amendments to the
Constitution proposed by the Conven-
ton of 1875. and thus largely reduce
the expenditures of our State and
county governments and simplify their
administration, SO that we may be
enabled to establish a thorough and
enlarged system of public schools for
the benefit of oil the citizens of the
State.
Res0lued 3. That notwithstanding
our repeated disappointments and
impoverished condition. we still cher
ish the North Carolina project so long
lab4red for by Morehead. Saunders.
Fisher, VIM. Thomas, and others, of
uniting the harbJrs of Beaufort and
Wilmington with the great west, aud
for the completion of the Western
North Carolina Railroad to Paint
Rock and ID lcktOwu, and our other
unfinished railroads. We pledge the
continued use of the convict labor of
the State, and of such other judicial
Legislative aid as will secure the com
pletion of these great State works at
the earliest practicable period.
ResotUed 4. That the people of
North Carolina now have it in their
power by an earnest, determinate and
united effort, to relieve our people
from the evils OF republican mlsrule,
extravaganza and corruption. and re-
store the prosperity Of our State.
ResoIUeG ). That We denounce of
fetal corruption wherever found, and
We hold honesty to be the first and
highest qualification for office.

Major I;rH.cihard,

No name has come before the pub
lie with such unmistakable signs of
APPRECIATION As that of Maj. Engelhard
in Connection with the Secretaryship
of State Its mention suffuses every
face with that glow of pleasure that
accompanies pleasant tidings. There
is no holding back There is spon-
taneous leap of sympathy and appro-
baton. Who does not feel intui-
lively that the right man has been
reached as it were by an instructive
apprehension Of what WAS fit and
proper ?
Outside of professional preferences,
we know no one better qualified than
Major Engelhard for the place to
which he is named. lie is eminently
qualified by mental competency, and
strict integrity, both OF which are
adorned by II g 4niality of nature that
makes him all friends and leaves no
residinnm of enmity.-HiIsboro Re

synopsis of GOV. Vanoe's speech.
FroW the Raleigh News.

At the close of the Conservative
Democratic Convention all the dele.
egates and many strangers and citizens
repaired to the National Hotel and
called out for Vance He said: He
would be less than a man if he didn't
accept the nomination, and it was
honor enough for him to be the choice
of the largest convention ever held In
North Carolina. 1 congratulate you
fellow citizens that there is once more
a prospect of the government of North
Carolina being administered in accord
ance with the Ten commandments.
The republicans want reform, but they
want it in their party; but We can't hope
to create reform in the Republican
party. "Come out from among them
ye people, and serve the Lord, saith
the Lord" Belknap's great COM
plaint is that he was exposed by rebel
officers. They haunt the bloody shirt
in this way. 1t is my opinion we are
on the eve of great reform that will
sweep the thieves from the land, and
honest men will represent US. The
Republican party of North Carolina
came into power In 1868; and what 10
the result? L want to spend Sabbath
at home, and cannot give the corrup-
tion of the Republican party unless I
spend Sunday in Raleigh.
1t Is four years since the bloody
shirt was put in the wash tub with q
piece OF soap, and yet it is still faunt-
ed forth at every election. There is
no avenue opened up whereby we can
be saved only by the Conservative
party. This is our only salvation. Men
must act together. aud obey the coun-
sells of their chosen men and nomi-
mated officers. The favors you enjoy,
the low taxes you pay come from the
benefits of the Conservative party. IF
a man not of your choice has been nOmi-
mated, still stick to him. What We
need is u statesman capable OF pro-
ducing peace. We have been recon-
structed and reconstructed and yet
there is no peace. There is no man
here who wants to rub up the old
swords but would blend them together
III peace.

A Burke man said yesterday that
Judge Fowle's speech at the National
was superior to t lie effort of Stephen
A. Douglass in this city before the
war. Mr.. Fowle made one point of
tremendous force. He held up Zeb
Vance as the Governor in times of war
who boldly stepped between the Con-
fedcrate army and our State, and with
firm and uufinching nerve protected
the right Of habeas corpus. A North
Carolinian could not be dragged at
viii and Kirked about the country at
the end of the bayOhet. 1t was Zeb
Vance then in times of war. But it
was Holden in times of peace who ex-
hausted the Judiciary aud gave the
writ of habeas corpus for gun wad
ding to Kirk and Bergen and their
tatterrag followers. Zeb Vance in war
is now the peoples man in peace.
Not soldiers widow but remembers
him as she stood at the door of the
Executive Office and kindly vel
