Tfte latest information from the election in North Carolina, places the success of Governor Mbrkimon in some doubt; but it is conceded tbat tbe Grekley interest has elected five of the eight members of Congress and a majority of the Stale Legislature. The vote for Governor is very close, but the Western portion of the State being to hear from, which is strongly Conservative, good hopes are entertained for Mekrimon. This is a glorious result, and will have a telling effect against Grant and tbe corrupt and thieving every where, -y Radical Reform?The North Carolina BlsqUon. It is verv amusing to hear, the Radical leaders in South Carolina speak- of Reform and ?r d_taw tu. r uiv uvvvwik/ vi Akvtuiuj nuu ufo m(/uu? u^/rrun" <ft. There is not an official rofcue in the State who will not join the orjr of "Reform." Tbej who have stolen the most, profess to be as earnest in desiring Reform as those who have stolen least, for the want of an opportunity of stealing more. Their professions are of course utterly false, and puteuily so. But there is another class of Radical leaders who are no doubt sincerely desirous of putting a stop to the thieving, which has been going on for tho last four years in South Carolina. At the head of this Radical taction, which we fear will prove to be a very small one, in the Radical nominating convention, stands our friend, Judgu Orr, whom we could wish, with all our heart, to see in better company, more congenial to his natural and former political associations. The Judgo tells us in sober earnest, that the only way to stop the roguery and bribery, squandering pubilo money, and oppressive taxation, is to vote for Grant! instead of Greeley, for President of tho United States ! This seems to plain Democrats like ourselves, very strange advice, rather funny, to vote for the man who has been protecting and sustaining these swindlers and thieves for tho post four years, with all the power of a great government, iu order to put them down and stop their rascality ! The paradox can only be explained on the principle which governs the wandering Bedouins in the desert. It you intrust your life and property to them, and confido in their honor, tnoy will protect you, otecrwise they will rob and kill you, if they oan. But wo greatly fear, from past experience, that these carpet-bag and nativo thieves havo not the honor oi the wild Arab robber.? It seems more like submitting tho lipnh to the tender mercies of the wolf. If Judgo Orr had united with the Liberal Republicans and gone for Greeley, he would hnvo found himself once moro united with nis old Democratic friends and partixnns, again in honest company, wag ing a successful war aguinst thedespoiicrsof his State and country. Bat the Judge seems to think,'fiom his speeches, that Grant is an honest man, and will aid, now, in putting down those in South Carolina, whom he has built up and defended for the last four years ! The more intimate friends of Gen. Grant, they who have knovrn him longer and more intimately than Judgo Orr, entertain a different opinion of the President's administration policy. Seuatora Scburs, Sumner, Trumbull, and cr leading politicians of his party, declare officials, whom ho sustains "wrth""iiTl his vaju patronage, and that he has tried and docs tr^ to corrupt the honest portion of his friends!His postmaster and mayor at Washington, baa recently published a crrd in which he says Grant has swindled him out of twenty.five thousand dollars ! and he intendi to prosecute him for it! lie moreover says his Excellenoy is a corrupt man, aud corrupts others, that "ho is a miserly, sordid roan, and will resort to anything evasive or invasion of law or justice, or anything else that an honorable person would despise, to put money in his pocket." He says again, that "by dishonest means, Grant will leave tho Presidency on the 4th of March next, as rich as a Jew, and as infamous as ho who betrayed his Lord and master for thirty pieces of silver !" Tho offer of Grant to corrupt and bribo Senator Schurz is proven on him by General Pleasanton. Grnnt tried to lie out of his treachery to President Johnson, and was convicted of bare-faced lying by the whole Cabinet. He tries now to play the same game to -cover up his corrupting offer to Schurz. In utter violation of the constitution and laws of the country, General Grnnt not only node a treaty to purchase San Domingo through one of his military aids, but hisorJers to the navy were tantamount to a declaration of war! He wanted Schurz to defend him in the Senate, and sent him word through General Pleasanton, that if he would do, he would givo him all the patrbnngo ho might ask fori No President before ever dared to make such a proposition to a Senator! It would have damned him to eternal infamy! The bare suspicion of such a bargain between Adams and Clay hurled Adams from the Presidency, and prevented Clay ever reaching the summit of his ambition. This fact alone of approaching a gentleman, and a Senator, with a bribe, shows what Postmaster 8. P. Bowen says of him is true i "Ilia habits are of the worst kind, and his associates of tho lowest order. Indeed, his instincts are loin and vulyar, and be is never so well satisfied as when in company with horse jockeys, smoking cigars, drinking whisky and talking horse !" A man with tho instincts and education of a gentleman, no matter how oorrupt he might be, would not think of approaching an honorable Senator, ns Grant did Schurs. It shows " bis instincts are low and vulgar." He judges other men by his own base nature. Now, if Judge Orr had come out for Greeley, and told us that, in reforming a party wo must always commence at the head, we should have believed him ; and tho people of South Carolina would have placed confidence in his wisdom and sagacity, and co.operated with him most heartily and most zealously. Greeley is an honest man, all admit; and no one has denied it. His life proves it. He will reform 'the rogues aud srjuandcrois of the people's money with a vengeanco. We prefer Horace Oreelsy to any Democrat who oould have been nominated for tha Presi dency, because he is capable, as a Republican, of doing more in the way of reform tfasn a 1 Democrat could do. He will have the support ao4< confidence of tho Republican party, the honest portion of it at least, In all of his measures; and this a Democratic President could not have dona, lie will have, too, in the end, the confidence of all the honeat and | intelliircnt nortion of the colored nennle. No one can charge him justly of adapting meat* ures prejudicial to their interests, and favoring the white race. He can do justice and satisfy both races, and both parties. Since writing tbo above, we have received news from North Carolina, that this good old ' State has commenced tho work of reform there 1 most successfully, in spite of General Grant, I his Cabinet, and the public money sent there to control the elections. The Democrats have < eatried tho Governor's election, very probably, < and State Legislature. They have, with the H assistance of the Liberal Republicans, elected | sisT members of Congress, out of sight to which the State is entitled. Well done for "old Rip Van' Winkle'* and Horace Greeley. ( Well done for reform and the new departure, It is to be hoped that the patriotio furore which has carried North Carolina will pervade ' South Carolina and all the other States. This 1 was the first gun fired in onr great oontest to 1 restore the Constitution and oitil liberty, and 1 cleanse the Angscn stable of the oorrnption Mid misrule which the Radioal party have ^ brought into it within fbuf years past. ThoMn [ will now be a general bolting of Radical# I from QfOnt to Oreeley ; and the colored peo- I pie, too, if it) go over to their old and faithful I friend, instead of sttoking to Gran^ who da- J clared that he went Into the civil war to pre. , serve the Talon and not to free the negroes. < 1 I U^Th^tki Court H<M?y?iMlM lufMtiJktl hu bMt held iu this 0?u(r At nj tia*' slnoe the war.

Where have the taxos gone that were directly or indirectly wrung from them to buy land for homes and endow schools for thoir children ? And of the future! What is in the future?

Shall we beggar ourselves by giving all property up to pay tbem, and becomo tenants on fields earned by our own hands, and fondly looked upon as a home for onr young | children and sholter for onr old age ? Desperate diseases require speedy and desperate remedies. These remedies must be administered by tho tax payers. Is it to be expected that our oppressors will give us up without a struggle? Will not officials oppose an extinction of offioe, even if useless, or refuse to submit to a fifty por cent, deduction on salaries and fee lists ? And notwithstanding that thousands of the so-called free voters, whose labor supports these offloials, are living from band to mouth, with nothing to put by for the morrow, will many of these yield to their call for a reduction or to abdicate? We fear the number will prove small; and yet hundreds of our citizens, equally qualified aud capablo, would be glad to serve in those offices at one-tbird and one-half that their present incumbents receive. , Tho speo-al surroundings require prompt and wiso actions. National reforms come but slowly. To us the Presidential oontest is virtually an outside issue; for, eves before the 4th of March next, our fate may bo irretrievably fixed. We alone must, to a man, colored and white, come squarely up. To shirk responsibility aud leave others to do the work is mean and cowardly. We only excite the contempt of the outside world when we call on Grant or Greeley. God helps tbose who try to help themselves. Grant and Greeley, like ourselves, may ptove mere ephemeral atoms of a political day, nor be any more able to assist us in Btate reformation than Andrew Johnson was. Truth is comprehensive, and fnrnisbes an unerring base to act on. Demagogues are noisy and imperious, and ever pretending to teaeh. We want no harangues. It is for us to say what is to be done. With troth and justioe on our side, midnight caucuses, secret societies and under-ground political railroads are useless ; and he who olaims to be ignorant,or yields to apathy, or is possessed of too much moral cowardioe to stand up to his neighbors to redress the wrongs inflicted on himself, wife and obildron doserv.s to be a slave.
