Special Cor. OF STATE CHRONICLE.
CHAPEL Hill, sept .-It i a matter IF
surprise, and Is the topic OF conversation
wherever YOU meet posse Of Democrats
or Republicans, of this District, why Mr..
Cox has become 50 utterly lost and ndlf-
ferent "a to Che discharge OF the duties
that he has control of and comes under his
jurisdiction. as a Representative Of the 18th
District. The men who placed HIM in
Congress and have kept him there for
years and who have sacrificed time and
money To do so; who labored hard and
worked faithfully for his retention and
repeated nominations; who have regarded
hlm as capable and competent u repre-
sent them; now wonder what the matter
can be with him: and the more they hear
and the more they learn the more their
wcnder grows.
Can there be any object III view, lolter-
ing in the bosom or brain Of the General
that can possibly be the cause of his not
removing from office, these Radical office
holders. Can there be any Pig and Pup
py" business going onl How heeting and
| tickle are the promises and trusts of one
to another
The impression is abroad over the entire
District that something is III the wind,
and that the retention of half RAIDS and
| half Democrats in Office Will secure favor
kand strength from both parties. We all
know of the honorable, trusty and respon-
| sible position that Mr.. Cox has been ia
vored with. We know OF his popular and
agreeable manners His experience and
acceptabeness as a Congressman. His in
| fiuence over and his acquaintance with t {
good people Of his District and the State.
His social qualities aud popularity, and
many other qualifications, all tend To en-
| dear him and point him out as the choice
of the people, for Congress. But, Mr..
Editor things are changing. Not remOv
ing the Radical office holders IN this Dis
trct, is simply and certainly going to
result in the Generals defeat. We do not
want any further or more satisfactory
charges for removing a Radical than the
fact that he has aided, abetted and served
the party, used and eXerted all the lnfiu
ence possible in behalf of the Republican
party, to the overthrow, downfall, and
utter annihilation of the Democracy and
if could be, the enslavng of the white
people, by social equality and negro su-
premacy; and in the face of all this they
| are retained in office, because no charges
are preferred. Is it necessary that the
people should assemble and swear, that
such and such a man, is guilty of larceny,
burglary, murder and default No. The
evidence above stated is sufficient.

We want Mr.. Cox to step to the front,
aud mot slow" with such energy, persis-
tance and full determination rs will re
move from office these Republicans who
are ltpw enjoying the emolumentS of Dem
ocratlc supremacy.
He can confound and overturn some Of
the mightieSt evils that have afflicted and
are still atfiicting the Democracy. if he
Will. But at the request of few sap
sucking and wishey washing Democrats,
who are not loyal or true, who have en-
dorSed and favored the retention of Ger
tain men III otlce-fOr private reasons
they are not removed.
If the simple request of half Il dozen
men in community is sufficient to retain
a man in office, against the wishes, desires
and demands Of two or three hundred of
the business and most loyal men of the
same community, then there must be
something wrong. 1t, without any doubt,
/ requires more than half a dozen men to
place in power, a man that is invested
with such privileges, and in order to please
the majority, he should act accordingly.
