there is a plentiful lack of organiza-

yet there can be no thoroughly effec

township organization. 1t is high time
for County Executive Committees to
be up and doing. Brunswick has led

TILDEN AND VANCE CLUBS-HOW
TO ORGANIZE THEM.

The following simple form of organ
ization we recommend for adoption in
organizing Tilden and Vance Clubs in
the various townships in the State.
1t is easily understood and we believe
embraces all the essential points. The
blanks can be readily filed to suit the
wants of different localities. tits suo-
stantially that now in use in South
Carolina:
FORM OF CONSTITUTION FOR TILDEN AND
VANCE CLUBS.
ARTICLE /. The name of this Organi
zation shall be THE Tilden and Vance
Club
ART 2. The officers of the club shall be
president, - vice pre- sidents, secretary and
a working committee of = members who
shall serve for such time as may be fixed
by resolution; and any vacancies i'll these
offices shall be filled by an election at the
first meeting after the same is announced.
ART. 3. The President shall have power
to call extra meetings of the club, and one
third of the total membership of the club
shall constitute a quorum for the transac
tion of business.
ART 4. A regular meeting Of the club
shsn be held on the - Saturday in

HOW THsS WOkLDs-G GIVEN To
LYING!
s. In the extre me innocence and Sim
pity of our nature we had come to the
conclusion that our capacity for sur-
prise at any exhibition of sRadical
talent for downright lying was long ago
exhausted. We had thought that what
we had already seen in that line ex-
celled any thing that could be brought
before a credulous public. but We were
mistaken. Genuine old fashioned
wonder and surprise seized and held
Ms as we read the following dispatch
sent from Washington City to the
Chicago Lnter-Oceam and published
in that paper on July 2lst:
NORTH CAROLINA POLITICs-THE TWO
GUBERNAToRIAL CANDIDATES.
Especial Telegram TO the Inter-Ocean.l
WASHINGTON, July 30.
The campaign in North Carolina is
developing many points of national
interest. The two candidates for Gov
ernor are Judge Settle. a Republican.
at present a member of the Supreme
Bench, and Zebulon B. Vance, an eX-
Confederate. Both are native North
Carolinians. Judge Settle was a loyal
man during the war, and suffered
great hardsh;ps from the rebels. He
has since the war held many official
positions of homer, and was chair
man of the Republican National
Convention at PhiladelI,h ,hia in 1S 2.
Vance was Democratic member
of Congress previous to the war, and
Governor of North Carolina during
the war. The campaign issue is the
same as in 1861, and Vance is making
every effort to prove his loyalty to the
Confederacy. He recently made Al
speech at Raleigh to open the canvass
at which he declared: l. That he is
sorry he laid down his arms in 1865;
2. That he is in favor of re-ensIaving
the negro, and if that cannot be done
a. once, his idea is to adopt plan
which will bring Jout such condi-
tion of things. His plan is to deprive
the negro of educational privileges; to
pay him low wages; to prevent him
from purchasing real estate, and d =
prive him of arms, ammunition, stock
and agricultural implements. This is
the platform which the Democratic
lndidate for Governor of North Car
olina declares as his Own.
And that is the way the camprign is
to be fought in the North! If the
readers of the Inter- Ocean are fools
enough to believe such stuff As this we
rather think we need not trouble our
selves about the harm the "Hamburg
Horror" may do us. But they are not
such FOOLS

The New York Herald talks excitedl

The New York Herald talks excitedly
about democratic fippiancy" because
Democratic newspapers ask why riots
in Northern cities are not made topics
of federal politics as we'll as the Ham
burg riot. In its issue of Saturday it
devoted near a column and half to the
subject. The fact is Southerner does
not smell good in the Hert.ld's nostrils
and that is the whole of it.
lBut that is not the only grievance.
The Herald seriously objects to the
use of the word "carpet-bagger," and
says it has done us more harm than
all other words. The Herald asserts
that if "Maine citizen" goes to Geor-
gia or Carolina and carries his princi.
pies with him 'his fate is social, per-
sonal, political ostracism." Is it worth
while to attempt to convince man of
the truth when he is determined to
believe lie? We think not, and
therefore shall leave the Herald to it's
own vain imaginings.

A st. Louis dispatch, referring to
certain comments that have been made
on the refusal of the Attorney General
to give out for publication the letter
written by District Attorney Dyer in
behalf of Avery. says:
Colonel Dyer said, in conversation
few days ago, that he had written a
letter for Avery, but that he had put
something into it that would make
Grant hopping mad. He was asked
what this was, and he replied that it
was sentence at the close of the letter
to the effect that, although Avery was
undoubtedly guilty as charged in the
Indictment, he Oyer)was convinced that
he had, through the whole of his crimi
nal course at Washington, been used as
the instrument of others who were
much higher in authority than he. I
meant Babcock,' said he, 'and I in
tended to hint at others in the same
house with him, and I didn't say a
word amiss. either.'''

HOW GRANT is TO BE DISPOSED

The New York Sun thinks there is a
good deal of method in President
Grants madness and declares that his
manifestations of sulk1ness and sour
ness since the Cincinnati Convention
have had a fixed purpose, which was
to show the Radical party thatit could
not hope to elect Hayes with Grant
and his army of ofce-holders in oppo-
sition. The price of his active support
it is now said has been agreed upon.
The bargain has been struck and is
ready to be carried out-provided al
ways the people consent.
Grant is no fool and knows full we'll
how to take care of himself now as
he did when he bargained for two
terms of the Presidency in 1868.
The San says:
By standing back and even threaten
ing occasionally, he has brought the
party leaders who are conducting the
Hayes campaign to his feet. A per-
feet understanding is soon to be ef-
fected between the high contracting
parties, by which Grant is to throw
the whole force of the Administration
into the canvass, repeat the old game
in the South. and follow Morton's lead
in an aggressive sectional policy, in
famed by outrages manufactured to
order or by bloodshed incite ! by fiend>
ish malignity. The programme is al
ready marked out, and was fore
shadowed by Morton in the recent de-
bate with Merrimon.
The consideration to be given to
Grant for this service depends neces-
sarily upon success. which will of
course intensity his zeal and animate
all his efforts. It is proposed, if
Hayes should be elected, and the
House of Representatives be carried
by the Republicans, to divide the
Union into t~ o military districts, with
the rank and pay of General now held
by Sherman, giving one to Grant and
the other to Sherman on an equal foot.
ing. This plan, thou yh less IN some
respects than what Grant would wish
to dictate, if he could have his own
way, is still satisfactory, end is tempt
ing in view of his certain retirement
ON the 4th of March from all connec-
tion with public affairs. It offers him |
q dim hope of high command, and ins |
Hence the bargain will be consum-
ward to the most violent political cam
oaign that has ever been witnessed.

If the Amer ican people needed any
proof that in order to secure a change
of measures it is necessary to have a
change in the men who conduct the
Federal Government, it is afforded by
the act of President Grant in pardon
ing Avery out of the Penitentiary.
Avery, it will be remembered, was a
clerk in the Treasury Department at
Washington City, and together with
Babcock, the President'N private sec
Rotary, belonged to the notorious ST.
Louis whlskey ring. Babcock by the
most extraordinary exertions, backed
by the influence of the President and
Attorney General in his favor,
was acquitted. Avery was con-
victed. And now he is pardoned
by the President! Surely it is about
time that new party of new men
with new methods and new measures
of government should take possession.
A base conspiracy to defraud the
government, extending even into the
White House itself, is exposed; in spite
of the opposition of the government.
certain cf the conspirators are con-
victod and sent to jail-only to be par
doned by the president! lIf this ac-
tion on the part of the pr >sident does
shock the moral sense of the northern
public, we shall doubt whether any
such sense exists. If Grant himself,
belongs to the ring. there certainly
could be no better illustration of the
proverb that there is honor apong
thieves; for he stands by his comrades
through thick and thin. But what a
humiliating position for the American
president and for the American peo-.
pie
Wilmington journal., 1876-07-28

The President fully recognizes, says
the Montgomery advertiser. the fact
that the success oi his party in the
present campaign depends upon an
abundant supply of funds; that an
abundant supply of funds depends
upon the reorganization of the Whis-
key Ring, and that the reorganization
of the Whiskey Ring depends upon
the removal of its enemies from Office.
Hence, Jewell, Pratt, Yaryan and
CLARK have gone to meet Bristow.

BROGDEN TRIUMPHANT
COLORED PEOPLE TO THE REAR IN
THE RADICAL RANKS.
"The COlOred Troops Fought NObly,'

The following special telegram gives
all the information we possessed at
ct the time of going to press about the
last Conflict between the white and
black races that has taken place in the
South. We presume it was square
stand up fight and as usual the
white man whipped in spite of the
odds.
We confess however that we are sur
rrised at the result. We felt sure that
Hyman, the present incumbent. and a
very we'll behaved, respectful colored
man, would be lenominated. We
thought this because his race was
so very largely III the ascendant in the
district. Indeed upon what principle
a party that has barely more than
a thousand white votes out of the
twenty thousand it casts for it's candi.-
dates, could nominate a white man, it
is difficult to see. According to the cen
sus returns there was in 1870, 19, 131
negro voters in the Second Congress
sionaI District, and Caldwell in 1872
only received 2O,127, yet for all that
the white man gets the nomination for
Congress. But that is a matter we
will leave the Radicals to settle among
themselves.
"Colored men to the rear seems to
be the order in the Radical camp just
now.

Organization is what our party
needs. We have the numbers but we
lack as yet that tho-oughness of dis
cipline and perfection of organization
that can make us count with certainty
upon bringing out our full strength on
election day. Let us go to work and
at once. In addition to a full commit
tee of active, intelligent, energetic
men in every township, there ought to
be rousing Tilden and Vance Club.
It will not do to depend upon the
towns and villages to work up the can
vass. The people in the country must
also bestir themselves. The Town
ship Executive Committee and the
Township Club must work to-
gether and in harmony. Let US
make up our minds from the
start, brethren, to poll such a vote
for our candidates as will astonish
the country. We can elect cur ticket
by grand majority if we will only
work regularly and systematically
from now until election day. System,
syste M, is what we lack. Every man
must have particular duty to per-
form, and he must perform it. Let
us see to it then, that every township
has live executive committee, and
live Tilden and Vance club. And let
it be done at once. The plan of the
of The club to be found
in another column is we'll suited to the
purpose. It is simple and easily un~
derstood. There is no reason for delay
and thousands for prompt action.
