of the immortality and essential
corruption of Stanley Matthew's con.
duct in the memorable secret negotia-
tions which led up to the consummation of
the electoral fraud, there never was and
there never can be a shade of doubt.
And it is matter for serious reflection
concerning the remarkable decadence Of
public morals, when Democratic sena-
tors who never cease to den0unce that
fraud as the one infamy beyond histori
cal parallel calmly ignore it in the con-
sideration of the case Of Stanley Mat
thews, this hawker of base bribery, this
correspondent of forgers, this emissary of
fraud.-N Y Sun.

- Gold in North Carolina exists
principally in the central and western
parts of the State. The yield has been
probably Sl5,000,O00. At present there
are only some forty mines in operation.
The silver mines are neither extensive
nor valuable. For copper the State is
noted, the largest mine, and in tactthe
only real one, being that at Ore Knob, in
Ashe County, from which last year,
100000 pounds of copper was taken, the
mine being one of the most valuable in
the country. At the Sam Christian

- The water power at Landsford on
both sides Of the Catawba River, for over
a mile, is practically the best in South
Carolina. The river at this point con-
tains fully as much, if not more water,
than the Congaree at Columbia. The
river here is irou, 1000 TO 1900 yards
wide, of an averge depth of two feet, and
the water flows at the rate of 200 to 250
feet per minute, falling 20 feet in 1000
yards. The banks of the river afford
most eligible sites the entire length of
the falls, and the width and rapidity Of
the river prevents its rising more than
few feet in severe freshets. By con.

In late article on carpet.baggers

that $4,000 negroes had emigrated to

past three years. The Republicans have

flying the census, for he declares that
there are only $4,000 negroes in Kansas
to-day, and that there were 1880 ten
years ago. Even if the negro population
Of that State had been at q stand-still
for the past decade, this would give only
$4,000 negro emigrants in ten years; so
it is hard to see how $4,000 could have
immigrated in twenty.four months. The
story is either a falsehood, or $4,000 OF
