THE GREAT QUESTION.

The lesson Of the last canvass is like
those of many others, except that we
must see that the spirit of the times has
changed since the South was a paradise
for carpet baggers and scallawags.
The carpet Dagger and scallawag are
too ghastly reproach to the Republican
party, and their pride of the Northern
civilization is as far beyond the idea Of en-
shaving the South to the scalawag as our
idea is abhorrent to any more slavery.
The sentiment of sectional reconcilia-
ton has gone on until the feeling is too
strong to be beaten with any partisan
idea. The Southern politicians naturally
used all the sentiment that could be
brought to bear in the fight.
But the fight is lost and the question
is. shall we preserve our freedom or i'm
peril it by mere passion and violence
which would end in another worse de
fcsty
We published yesterday a dispatch
from Mr. Dalton, postmaster Of the House

Harrison would be a conservative and

1t remains for General Harrison TO say
whether or not he will achieve the great
victory of peace and thoroughly re'es-
,ablish the Union.
II he does he will be greater than Lin
coin and will rank with the patriot lead
ers of the world.

We are Americans and all the people
North and South recognize the necessity
of agreeing in certain vital principles of
. free government offered to the imperial
personality of Gar. Almost any
reader of a daily paper knows that in
modern affairs of the world there are
two opposing ideas and that the United
States represents the advanced reform in
politics. The American Revolution
broke the whole feature of old personal
power and traditional aristocracy.
The idea Of government by trustees
and servants" makes great communities
exercise their intelligence towards every
thing of government. The fact is that
constantly recurring elections remind the
people that if there is anything wrong in
their political affairs they have the
power TO remedy it. 1t only remains for
every citizen to understand that he is
member of great joint stock company
In politics and that he has only TO use
his vote. But he has two ways TO use
his vote; one is In his party capacity
and the other is in his broader minded
capacity as a citizen. The two elements
aggregated constitute the safety Of our
institutions.
Office seekers are left, but the country
Is safe.

Almost an Accident.

The trains that pass over the Central Kali
road are unusually free from accidents, but
there came near being big one two weeks
ago. The north bound morning train was
running in two sections. The south bound
express met and passed at this place the
first section of the north bound train,
which was the excursion train. 1t then
went on its way at its usual speed, about
forty-hve miles an hour. The south bound
mail was behind, twenty minutes late, and
laundering on at about mile minute.
There is on each side of Wilson's hill and
beyond each hill valley, Wilson's also
being in a valley, so we are told. Each
train was mounting the hill, and in few
minutes would be descending the grade.
Just in the nick Of time, telegram reach
ed Wilson's to stop the trains. The watch
man barely had time to snatch up his red
flag, when both trains we're in sight. But
the air brakes were applied, levers reversed,
and though running down grade, the trains
were stopped, only few feet from each
other. It was close shave. We learn
that the engineer and conductor on the
south bound train were considered IN fault,
and removed from their positions.

Cncharlt&ble and Unjust.

Some candidates now in the field and
others on the defeated list have complain
ed, and very justly too, OF the reports det-
rimental to them and damaging to their
chances Of success before the people. This
is a crying shame, we may say an outrage,
for any one causelessly and upon mere hear
say evidence to put in circulation rumors
calculated to DO harm to ones character
These reports, it is said, are moreover let
loose at the opportune moment when no
refutation is possible before the election
comes of. Let every man stand before the
people as candidate upon his own merits,
and allow fair play. The voters Of the
county should never regard any state
ments uttered against a man at such G time;
the very circumstances should brand it
with falsehood or malicious intent.
