THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION

The slight success which the Republicans
and Independents met with in the North
Carolina election the other day was due
wholly to the obstinacy and determination of
the Republican voters. They determined to
vote for anybody as against the regular
Democratic nominee; Judas Iscariot himself
would have polled large vote and been tri-
umphantly elected had he come out as an in
dependent candidate. In some counties. the
Bourborn Democrats objected to the regular
Democratic nominees on the ground that
they had affiliated with the Republicans, that
they We're not Democrats in the true sense of
the word; they accordingly placed independent
candidates in the field. The latter were every-
where successful, receiving the entire negro
vote of these districts. The Democrat most
Objectionable to the Republicans of the "Old
North State" was undoubtedly Josiah Turner,
of Orange. He was the bitter and uncom-
promising foe of that party, and one of those
most Instrumental in crushing out its life. A
few months ago he became dissatisfied with

Carolina as here. was running for the Senate
in that district against him The Republicans
knew that they could not elect their own man,
and foresaw that Il they threw their votes for
Bledsoe that these, together with the Demo
cratic vote he could carry with him. would
elect him.
The election was conducted by the 13epub-
licans with great skill They sank all preju-
dices, counted their votes beforehand, and
instead of wasting them on Republican eau
didates placed them where thoy would do the
most good--for Independents. Tho result is
the gain of O. number of sehts in the Legstn-
ture and the election Of twelve Independent
Democrats, thanks principally to Republican
votes. It Is true that these independents nre
all earnest Democrats and will go into tue
Democratic caucus If they are admitted ,
nevertheless, the Republicans have succeeded
in their purpose, and helped 10 develop the
disintegration Of the Democratic party in
North Carolina, Now. when 1t Is seen thnt
any Democrat who will come out as an Inde-
pendent is sure Of the solid Republican vote
1t will be difficult indeed to prevent lnde-
pendents coming out for every Office. Indeed,
although the North Carolina election Is only
three weeks old, It has already bred an army
Of "Independents' and Nationals, Tho Re-
publiCans had announced that in the congress
sional elections Of November thoy would con-
test only one district. the Second. It Is now
known that, encouraged by their late success,
they will place either Republican or Indo-
pendent candidates In tho field in five dis
tricts. A correspondent Of the New York
Herald, who has surveyed the field, declares
that the Republicans will certainly carry one
district, the Independents or Nationals an
other, and that, as for two other districts the
chances Of an independent success are better
than those OF the Democrats. It Is prob
able that tho Democracy will lose from ono
to three Congressman in North Carolina,
thanks to those twelve "Independcut" Demo

The Republicans Of Texas have resolved to
follow the example Of their North Carolina
brethren and fight tho Democrats with n new
party. They have selected for this purpose
the Greenback party, which they think will
carry with it a largo Democratic vote, and
have offered the new party oil their money
and their votes. Ex-Governor Davis has just
indorsed the Greenback ticket and preferred
IL all the aid In his power; tho other Repub-
licans leaders are doing the same, turning
over their forces and votes to the now organ
ization. and asking no return therefor. 1t Is
even said that the Federal oiifceholders OF
Texas will be heavily assessed to pay the ex
ponses of the new party, and that GrcenbacE
documents will be forwarded from the Ro-
publican Congressional committee at Wash
ington to help it make the inroads into the
Democratic ranks. The Texas Republicans
are showing their sense by keeping securely

The correspondent of an American paper
has been studying the government of Paris,
and pronounces it the model government of
the world. The Partisan idea is that people
will much more willingly submit to indirect
than to direct taxation; as a consequence the
former IS almost entirely abolished, all real
estate in Paris being exempt from taxation,
except for paving and repairing the streets.
Everything that Is brought into the city In
the shape of food. OF for domestic purposes.
must pay an oCtroi or entrance duty at the
gates of the city. This octroi, together with
the market dues, slaughterhouse dues, rents
'of the stands on the public ways, dues on
burials, sales i'll cemeteries dog tax etc, fur
nishes the city with an annual revenue of Sat-
100000. The municipal system, also, by which
the city is divided up into several hundred
mayoraltos, is almost perfect. and Paris Is
to-day wholly free from cliques and rings.
Louis Napoleon, it is true, corrupted the city
government Of Paris as he corrupted almost
everything and everybody with whom he had
anything to do. but even under his rule that
city was not swindled and cheated as almost
every American city has been.

When the panic reached Memphis there
was terrible rush for the cars. People cared
for nothing but their lives; their houses, their
goods, their fortunes We're forgotten. Many
of them left town without even locking their
front doors, while the bank presidents fled,
leaving the gold in the bank vaults without
guard. When. in addition to this, a large
number of the police resigned and left town,
it was generally feared that the thieves and
Glisorderly elements Of the city would take
advantage of the occasion to burglarize and
plunder the deserted houses. A general re-
ioicing was noted among the criminal
classes, who tried to persuade the negroes
of the town that the whites having fled, it
was right for them to divide the property of
the refugees among themselves. On the first
night after the panic these fears of robbery
were realized; score Of deserted houses We're
entered and robbed OF their valuable contents.
This new development naturally aroused the
deepest indignation, and a meeting OF citizens
was held at once to organize system Of vol
untary police for the protection Of the prop
erty Of the refugees. It is gratifying. there
