NORTH CAROLINA y ,TES. Again it has
often been charged that the great vote Of
1875 was fraudulent because it amounted
to 234. 900, whereas the number of votes in
the State by the census of 1870 was only
2l2 600. Yet if any Que " Ill take the mum

that the voters in he state in 1875 were ct

In view of the uneasiness manifested
by good men in both political parties
in reference to the Inauguration of the
next President, it is a matter of regret
that some Senator did not take up the
work upon which Senator Morton was
engaged at the time of his death, viz {:
A constitutional amendment in refer
ence to the counting of the electoral
votes. AS the law now stands Repub-
licans claim that it is the duty of the
Vice-President to count and announce
the result of the electoral votes, in the
presence of the House and Senate.
But the Democrats claim that the
House and Senate in joint session
should perform this duty. In close
contest there is a chance for trouble !;
but the probabilities are that the NOM
inee of the Chicago convention will be
elected by such an overwhelming ma
jority that there will be no chance for
dispute,

Republican state Convention.

The Republicans of Kansas will hold
a delegate convention at Topeka, We'd
nesday, March Slst, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the National
Convention, which well convene at
Chicago the Sd of next June. Kansas
will be entitled to ten delegates in the
National convention. There are IS
counties entitled to representation in
the State Convention and the whole
number of delegates will be 305, of
which number Allen county furnishes
four. The State Central Committee
recommend that the County Central
Committee arrange for the selection of
delegates from each county on the Goth
of March. The Central Committee of
Allen county will soon announce the
manner of selecting delegates from
this county.

It is matter of rejoicing to all per-
sons interested in State Fair to know
that there will be but one State Fair
in Kansas next fall, the Topeka State
Fair Association having abandoned
the idea of State fair at Topeka, thus
leaving the field clear for the Western
National Fair Association at Bismarck
Grove, at Lawrence. We hope the
people of this part of the State, and es-
pecially of Allen County, will take an
interest in their fair. There is no rea-
son why the farmers of this County
might not carry off number of the
premiums, both of farm products and
live stock. This fair will be attended
by large number of strangers from
other States, who are thinking of maxi
ing their homes in some part of our
State. Allen County can and should
make good showing there.

travelling expenses can be charged.
The canvass is to last, under the law,
not more than four weeks, so that the

The Commonwealth evidently mis-
understood the tenor of our article up
on st. John. We believed the unpar-
allied act of Anthony's forces deserved
at least a kindly remembrance. We
did not claim that "bargain" was
made or that Anthony purchased a
right to run the machine-but COM
mon deceny would suggest gratitude.
Because we voted for St. John two
years ago is no reason we should now
him. We know him now.

In discussing Presidential candi-
dates, and the selection of delegates for
the Chicago convent IN, the Chicago
Inter Ocean give the following good
advice:
If any man is going into caucuses or
conventions avowing that he will sup
port the ticket if his favorite is nomi-
mated, but will bolt if some other be
chosen, then he is not to be classed as
a Republican, but belongs to the "fioat-
ing vote" that is to be picked up by
appeals to passion or prejudice, but not
to be affected by question of principle.
Certainly he ought not to have a voice
in selecting the nominees of a party to
which he in no sense properly belongs.
Let the delegates to Chicago be chosen
fairly. Let reason and GOODNESS gov
ern the choice, and, when the men
thus chosen decide upon candidate,
let good feeling reign and the party
acquiesce.

DeLesseps will soon be in the United
States to solicit the investment of cap
ital for the project of his Isthmus canal.
It will be important for the United
States to have a voice in this canal-if
it is ever completed. But as yet one
tenth of one per cent. of the amount
needed has not been subscribed, it
would seem that this canal is by no
means thing of the near future, and
there will be ample time for the United
States to take all necessary steps to
secure the interest of our commerce.

With all the caution that is used by
leading northern Democrats in Con-
gress to prevent the "brigadiers" from
showing their hand as they did during
the extra session, they cannot prevent
them from venting their spite on ex-
soldiers of the Union. They now pro-
pose to repeal the law that requires the
capital building to be policed by ex-
Union soldiers and sailors.

Lippincotfs Magazine for March opens with a
description of the Lakes of Minnesota, with
their healthful and picturesque summer resorts,
which are already much frequented by Northern
tourists, and which, judging from this article
and its attractive illustrations, deserve to be
bel ter known. There are two other illustrated
papers in the number,-the IXth Chapter of DR..
Oswald 8 ''Summerland Sketches" which treats
of Yucatan, and the conclusion of Edward King S
account of "Old and New Rouen. - ''The Amer
lean Suez is the title of an article which will be
read with special interest, on account of the sub
ject, and the able summary which it gives of the
arguments for and against each of the proposed
routes for canal to connect the waters Of the
Gulf of Mexico with those of the Pacific Ocean.
The writer shows personal familiarity with the
country, and the maps inserted in the text will
do much to assist the reader in forming an opin-
ion on this vexed question. cat the Foot of the
Sierras" is not a mere descriptive article, but
contains some capital sketches Of life and man
ners in the most beautiful region Of the West.
The poetry Is by Paul Hayne and Howard Glyn-
don, and q large space, as usual, is devoted to
the "Monthly Gossip and the "Literature Of
the Day.
