The North Carolina Election.
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. <

" Wash soven times in Jordan and tbou

To tbrow the past iqto oblivion, and begin
anew is all that we dfcn do, as it would
seem, to restore order anf prevent the aunlhilation
of both raoes as to the means of sub*
sistenoe and a eotnmoa sohool education. Has
not the last four years of Legislative robbery
almost ground the laboring classes into the
dust? 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?
Does any sane man expect to pay these falsely
issued bonds ? Can we pay State salaries as
now established, and the interest on those
bonds ? 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.

Pursuant to adjournment ot a meeting held
| on Saleadnp In J una, A large and enthaaiaatle
I aarating of the Democratic eiliaana of Greenf.
ilia County, wee held la Ae Court Hoaue, one
Monday, the 6th instant. Dr. 0. B. Irvine
occupied the Chair, with F. B. MoBee ae Secretary.
Col. S. 8. Crittenden offered the followiag
preamble aud iwaolutiona, which he sustained,
at aome length,'in a pertinent apeeeh t '
Whbrbas, We, the Democratic eittaena of
Greenville County, in eommon with our countrymen
throughout the whole United Statea,
feel a deep internet in the grave and momentua
laauea now pending between the rival partial
who aeek, through the anffragea of the people,
to govern the Republic during the neat four
year*, and the contest being now narrowed
down to a eeleotion of U. 8. Grant, the candidate
of the Radical Republican party, or, of
Horace Greeley, the candidate of the Liberal
Republican parly, as President of the United
States for the ensuing term ; end whereas, the
principles and candidates of the biberal Re*
publican party hare been endorsed and rati*
fled by the National Democratic party, in Convention
assembled, and in our opinion the suocoss
of those principles and oandidates being
best calculated to promote and preserve the
constitutional liberties of the whole people,
and to restore unity and reconciliation to the
different sections ol our country ; therefore, be it
Betolved, That we, the Democrats of Greenville
County, in Mass Meeting assembled, do
oordially and fully endorse the aotion of the
National Demooratio Convention, whereby it
re-nominated Horace Greoloy and B. Grata
Brown, for President and Vice President of
tho United States, at the ensuing election, and
pledge to them our earnest support.
I Retolctd, That while we regard the rode sap*
tion of our own. State from the official plunderers
who are now fatAfftog upon the substance
of our people, imposing upon them a
burden of .taxation unparalleled In amount,
while misapplying and squandering the proceeds
among their political partisans, we hope
and believe .the election of Horace Uroeley
will be one of the means promotive of this end.
Rtsolved, As wo bolievo it to be a man's
higbost dutj to protect bis own home, we also
feel it to be our iatercat and duty to protect
wui iw?i nuu vuuuij uuicos irum iuo grasp uk
tbe anine Radical party which hu miigoverncd
and ruined tho State during the past four
years; and for thia purpose we recommend
that a Convention of tbe anti-Radical party
of tbia County be held at Oreeuville C. 11., on
Monday, 19th of August, for tbe purpoae of
nominating candidates tor tbe various offioea
to bo filled at the ensuing elections.
Jietolved, That all members of our party be
I requested to meet at the usual placoa of meet1
ing in the various Townships, on Saturday,
'the 17th day of August, and elect by ballot
tho delegates to which their Townships are
entitled in said Convention.
Rctolccd, That tho rate of representation
should be throe delegates from each Township.
Jtetolved, That we announce it as our firm
belief that, with united and harmonious action
amoug ourselves, wo oan defeat any ticket
whioh oan be put in the field by the Radical
party of Greenville County, by a majority of
one thousand votes.
The meeting was then addressed, in speeches

and Carolinians, Gov. B. F. Perry, Col.
E. P. Jones, Gen. M. C. Butler, John W. Stokes,
J. P. Moore, T. Q. Donaldson, F. B. McBoe,

Mr. Editor: in accordance with the
progra mine of the meeting on yealerday, it
should b.i the duty of the people In Township
meetings, to determine on oertain cardinal
points of State reform, and the
responsibility and accountability of State
officials. Some expres ions upoo the platform.
put forth by Maj. T. B. Ferguson, in
your issue of last week, will be advisable,
entirely outside of National Issues. Domestic
reform meana, low taxes, low salaries^
*nd utter and determined repudiation of
all illegal Stale bonded issues, and taxes
economically expended. Hundreds of lax
payers imeud to insist tipou these preliminaries,
and I trust that the people of
Gieenville County, will insist upon, and
sauction the same *)ews.
