The people have cried for victory, and
the echo answers, " victory."
A few more votes and Garfield wonld
have 3-9 in the electoral college.
The Metropolitan bell is not so fre

Farewell, farewell, noble soldier, good

We are in receipt of an excellent com

W. II Quick, in which he aks the sym
pathy ot all for the defeated Democracy.
The election roturus of the State come
in slowly. That Buxton, like Settle, will
receive the majority of votes, but how can
h. be counted in, when his opponents have
the counting to do ?
The Southern Democracy should be
the best mathematicians on the continent,
for ; hey certainly do more counting than
any people living, and strange to say, they
never count themselves out.

to a certain Democratic journal of this city,
Having he expected to hold his office under
resident liancock, and would do nothing
to help the Kepablican party at all ! We

The colored firemen of Iialeigh never
fail to do their duty at fires. And if some
or our policemen would take a feather from
the wing of their imagination and stick it
in the tail of their judgment, there wonki
be no trouble in the execution of the tire
men's work.
We learn that our young friend, B. J.
Edwards, Jr., E-q,, business manager ot
The Journal of Industry, contemplates
leaving our city, to attend an institution ot
learning. Whilst we commend the object
for which our friend haves us, yet we are
lot h to have him leave us He has render
ed invaluable service to our raci1 in connec

Association for our matea-. moral, intel

himself. Ia this community he has the
con licence and respect of all, without re

The defeat of Mr. Edition, for the legis
lature in this county (Wake), has caused
universal dissatisfaction among the colored
voters of the county, and their denuncia
tions of the men who planned and effected
bin overthrow are ominous of future evil to
the unity of the Republican party in the
Metropolitan county of the State. There
is no use in disguising thje fact: the negro
voters of Vake county have been sqld out by
some of their pretended white friends, and
the sophistical arguments of the men who
did it to prove to the contrary will be un
availing, and when the time for them to
come before the people again for their suf
frages returns the negro voters of Wake
county will be sure to give them a severe
letting alone. " A burnt child dreads the
fire." The negroes of Wake, by the defeat
of Mr. Ellison, have been severely burnt,
and it is their determination not to be burnt
again. The men who did the burning are
known, and, at the proper time, they will
be thoroughly exposed.

Hancock for Garfield. We have
always said that Hancock was " all-right.'7
The only trouble was, that he, like other
weak mortals, fell into bad company.
Hancock was the champion of a bad cause,
hence the cause ot his shameful defeat.
He thinks Garfield the man, and so do we :
Washington, November 10. A letter was
received here to day from Gen. Hancock by
an officer of the army, who was formerly on
his staff, in which General Hancock says
emphatically that he has no lot or part in
the agitation relative to the throwing out
of the vote of New York, and that he. will
not have any. He says he is opposed to
the agitation, and believes that General
Garfield was elected, aud should be inaug
urated without any further lass.

justice, it i bih time t.- p-fip of
the United Crater, should be tang hi iht
hoijet elections must precede tin- ccupa
tiou of st ats in the Hooks vf ItepreM uta
tives of (his Latum. They tnu.t learn that
rascality of any sort or intiaiidaiiou i,f any
character cannot be recogtazrd steopii g
stones to seats in that body . W have had
too much of that in the pjc for th- credit
of Congress and the welfare of the country.
The three last Congresses have pntittTd
marked instances of the subverting of the
popular will aud the character of the gov
ernment by corrupt and illegal agtneu.
The political character of the Hous of
Representatives during these Congresses
and that of the present Senate has beeu
changed from Republican to Democratic by
a gross subversion of the popular will in
the South. This thing has been tolerated
much longer than the national well-being
will justify, and it is high time that a
remedy should be applied t y this crying
evil.
Let the next House, therefore, draw the
line closely between rascality and honest
ejections, aud allow no member, no matter
from what State or District, to occupy a
seat under an evident despoiling of any
party or people of their suffrage under any
pretext whatever. Any Representative who
claims a seat intfie House of Representa
tives nuder a certificate which clearly cov
ers a suppression of the popular voice by
intimidation or fraud of any character which
has shaped the result, should be promptly
excluded from a seat as a member, and
either the contestant should beteued or
the case should be referred back to the
people ; and this policy should be pursued
until the legislative department of this
government shall be constituted of mem
bers who represent a majority of the peo
ple, that majority being ascertained undfr
an election in which every voter is permit
ted to vote once and have his vote honestly
counted. In the late election this issue
was brought prominently to the front, and
was pronounced upon by the popular judg
ment, and the verdict as presented iu the
result is clear and decisive. The people
demand and will insist upon free and hon
est elections, and tiey will not hold the
next House of Representatives blameless
if it does not inaugurate effective reforms
in this regard, aud provide ample safe
guards against intimidation and fraud in
the future elections relating to this govern
ment. It has the power, and it will be held
responsible for its wise and just exercise.
At every other point this nation is strong,
but JjpitJfi elections, where the perpetuity
public depends upon an honest and
and a fair count, it is weaker by
far tuau it should be, xand at that point
centres the great daugefcto Republican in
stitutions. We do not in r this ine of re
mark refer to trumped-up claims, but only
to those where intimidation and fraud have
clearly shaped the result. National Hepub

Corroborative of our editorial as to the
cause which led to the defeat of the Repub
lican party in this State, we reprint the fol
lowing from The National Republican, ot
the 9ch instant :
North Carolina has a Scare. If
one-hundredth part of the effort and money
spent by Republicans to carry Indiana had
been spent in Eastern North Carolina the
ten votes of that State would have been
added to the Garfield column. The West1
ern part of the State shows large Republi
can gains over 1S76, and if the Eastern part
had held its own there would have been a
Republican victory. As it was the Demo
crats were badly scared for a day or two.
The Charlotte Observer of Saturday said :
'It is needless to say that for the past
twenty-tour hours much solicitude has
been felt in regard to how the late election
would count up for the St atetickets of the
respective parties. There was a perfect
confidence among Democrats that their
ticket was absolutely safe until the appa
rently appalling reverse was realized in
Mecklenburg, aud then it was that calcula
tjons were made that if the party had suf
fered a proportionate loss throughout the
State, the Republican ticket was elected.
As the hours went by , and the election
news from Liucolu, Gaston, Cabarrus, Ire
dell aud Rowan came in, the gloom and
dest3ondency which had settled down upon
them over the defeat of Hancock became
intensified, and the Observer cfiice and
other points where news might be expected,
were crowded by auxious seekers for the
latest information in regard to the State
election. To the general scare was added
a telegram from Republican sources claim
ing Buncombe county with miraculous Re
publican gams, ana another ot the same
character from Raleigh claiming a Repub
lican gain of 5.G00 in sixty -six counties."
Unfortunately for the Republicans there
was little or no organization in the eastern
part of the State, and the splendid Repub
lican fight in the west was fruitless. How
ever, Tilden's 17,019 majority is reduced
more than one-half.
A man who had been an inveterafe
smoker for twenty seven yeara has sudden
ly and permanently given -op the practice.
He knocked the ashes off his pipe into a
keg of blasting powder.
What is life f In infancy, a struggle with
colic : in voath. a struggle to keep ont of
mischief: in manhood, a straggle with in
digestion, and, in old age, the prelude ot a
contested will case.
