He accepted Greeley on the principle

[From the "Wilmington Daily Journal
ThetBlecUon-Judge Merrimon^-Hli
D*ty.
The indications now are that Caldwe
has received a small nominal majority i
the State. 'u .
We say "nominal majority,"'.for th
reason that we do not believe that he ha
received an actual majority of thc lega
votes cast.
We are still of thc opinion that it wil
be necessary, to have Jae-official return
before anything definite can bc ascertain
ed. Under all circumstances,,, and count
ing all the fraudulent voWcasf, the vot<
is an exceedingly close one. ' " 1
t Wc ld not by any means,- however, ad
mit that all the votes cast were legal votes
-Far from it. We are informed that in
Brunswick county, at ono precinct, there
were eighty votes cast that were not reg
istered.
At one precinct in this county, we learn
that one if not two negro military compa
nies marched with arms to the polls.
We are informed, also, that in this .cona,
ty men were registered on the day ol
election.
We are informed, also, that others were
registered after sundown before the elec
tion, in plain violation o?" the letter of the
law. ~ (
At other places thc votes cast exceeded
the number of voting population,, as shown
by the las census. Nor are these all the
evidences of fraud. .
tn additionr'to fraud, intimidation was
fre ly resorted to. After Greeley's electicm
sses will neither fear nor hesitate to
ni ice foll disclosur#of the' force and in
timidation practised upon them. ,
In view, therefore, of all the facts, tye
demand that Judge Merrimon shall con
test the election ol' Governor Caldwell be
fore the next Legislature. . .
We do not say this from any ebulici?n
of feeling, consequent upon defeat and dis
appointment, but we demand it as a duty
. .:n Judge Merrimon to the Conservative
. pie of ?Torth Carolina and of the United
States.
From thc Legislature of .North Carolina
we can and willobtain justice. If fraudu
lent votes have been cast, and of this no
reasonable man can entertain a doubt, the
patient, honest- and intelligent investiga
tion that the Legislature will give tin
matter will enable the wqrld to see the
truth, and the whole- truth,
This is all we ask. , 1 f we have beeil fair
ly beaten-if a. majority of the legal voto?i
cast, a week ago to-day, were cast against
the Conservative tiek?-t, we tk> not ask
that Judge Merrimon be declared Govern
or'of North Carolina.
We do demand, however.'if bo was le
gally ejected, that y.-e ?hall not be cheated
out of our victory. .
We repeat that we do not speak from
mere temper, or soreness, or passion; tut
from a set led determination to haw the
matter judicially determined.
The constitution of the State makes it
the duty of the Legislate to decide all
cases of contested ejections for Governor
and other officers On the State ticket, un
der such mles and regulations. 4s it may
prescribe.
We now, therefore, formally demand of
Judg? Merrini?n and the other candidates
on oar State ticket,-br con test formally the
clet'tion of their Radical opponents, so that'
the'Legislature may fake the proper steps
in the premises.
v\"e demand this, in the name of the Con
servative people of North Carolina, and of
the United States, .aral we call upon the
press of the State te unite with us in the
demand, and.also to unite with us in call;
ing upon otu* friends In all parts of the
State to gather lip arrd put upon record
the evidences pf, fraud that now every
where abound. ...
We intend that this thing shallba sifted
to the bottom.

The resolutions provide for a call bf a State
Convention on the 28th mst., 'to be held
in Columbia just one week after the Re

point to a split in the Republican Conven

be enough honesty in the Republican Con
vention of the 21st, to stem the current of
.misrule and corrupt icin^ and nominate men
who are decent, honest and.capable. Should
it do so, then the Democratic Convention

THE MEETING ON MONDAY.-The mat
ing on Monday last, in the Court HoifBe"
was the largest that has ,been held in this
County, at any time since the war. The
feeling" was most enthusiastic, and the ap
plause for Gr?eley and Brown" was at fever
heat and boiling over during the entire
proceedings. The room was crowded to
its utmost, occupying all of the seats and
available standing room. . .
The various speeches delivered were for
cible, and some of them powerful. Gov
.erjior Perry distinguished and excelled
himself, as did Col. E P. Jone?? and Gen.
M: C. Butler, the latter'happening to^be
pr?sent, ?was called on; The remarks -of
rhe others were like wise pom ted and strong
ia sentiment and expression. The. ap
plause and cheering was deafening. Gree

given them will result in a heavy vote in.

The disclosures of fraud. and, extrava

coatajned in the Columba.dispatches of
this paper, are neitheri new nor strange!
These identical charges have been set
forth, week after week, by the opposition
press. Yet there is a distinction with a
difference between the two. sets of charges
-the one came from the representative
taxpayers : the other comes from office
holders of the Radical party, men who
stand high in power, and were trbs ed im

The Charleston Jiews might 6ay ; but the
whole complexion of the Accusation is
changed, in Radical eyes, when Senator and
District Attprney Corbin, Secretary of

These .officers have been led'on step by

shall condemn the culprits to lasting shame,
even ii' they do no not .cause the portals,

The principal "allegations of fraud have
aeen made by Senator Corbin, in a public
speech at Greenville, and in the course of
the Blue Ridge suit. He charges that
the Land Commission and the Sinking
fund Commission were huge cheats. He
charges that six million dollars ol* State
jonas were unconstitutionally issued. He
marges that about seven ruiftioiis of con
version bonds were issued, while only one
nillion dollars were actually converted.
[Ie charges that Speaker Moses, tho prom
neat Radical candidate for' Governor, is
.orrunt^to th': core, and has been bribed

jort?nce which the Legislature have pass-'
id. 'Judge Orr is .equally severe in Iiis
l?nunciation bf thc State officials, and de

although Elliott is a colored man, yet we.

faithfully, for the interest of the colored
man,, and wants peace :and harmony ber,

A Moving and Edifying Spectacle.
John C. Harris of Edgefield confessing
Democracy before the nameless and re
gionless edrto'r' of tho Columbia UniAii !
All .these'wretched carppt-baggers go by
names, to be Sure, abd hail from points
known tn Geography ; bnt Who knows
that they bav? any right to the nam?i
they bear, o? that they were ever seen or
heard of at the said points ? Thc Edge
field Advertiser is n gigantic Mordecai in
the gate of the Union editor. So mhch
more to the credit of the Advertiser/ Ho
bates iu with fearful.venom. He watches
it and pecks at it-without sleep or a lum
ber. The last sample of his pecking, is
that we lie-and that we write like we
were $runk. That wc tejl lies on John
C. Harris I Welt, perhaps we were drunk ;
but as to our telling lies on any one, and
especially on so_ execrable ajknave .as the
God-forsakeu Heck Harris, we hope it
isn't.so. The Unioii eoJpie.sllg}]r3;?cI.y^..",.'.
u^0\^the'inhn referred to, testified in
our presence, before the commissioner,
"um *r? ha? drawn up articles in the in
terestof theDomocratlcpa?ty, (or mutual
protection. If either the Edgclieid Ad
vertiser man or the witness say bc didn't,
they lie. And there is where is tbe milk
in the cocoanut.
" JJ either the EdycficM Advertiser 'mun
or Ute witness sa)/ he didn't, they lie. Ana
there is w/icrc isthc milk in thc cocoanut."
Now, which is tobe most admired in
those two sentences-thc grammar or the
style? Wc fear thc poor Union editor
had but few advantages of education in
early lifo; or ho might have been drunk
when ho penned that paragraph. And
as to tho cocoanut. No decant white man
in South Carolina basa cocoanut now,
with or without milk. Such carpet-bag
gers as the f7/tio? editor haye stolen .di
our cocoanuis-milk and all-leaving u
not even a dry and empty shell.
thc milk in the cocoanut-at fca? 1 a ?...
of it-is doubtless now to In-, found in

But theo we are not astonished at ahy
thing tho editor^of thc Union may say
or write. And if our-readers will but
