Six OongroRsmen sore, and probably soven, ont of eight. Demooratio gains? in nearly all the Counties. THK ELECTION Iff NORTH CAUOL1MA. CONSERVATIVES CARR Y THE DAY. The following despatch, xeoeived by ex-Gov. Yance, of North Carolina, was furnished to ns by Mr. Bead, of the Southern and Atlantic Telegraph line : CHARLOTTE, August 2.-A despatch jost received from Hon. D. M. Barrin? ger, Chairman of thp State Central Com? mittee, says: ..Twenty-seven representa? tive Counties beard from give the Con? servatives a gain on Bhipp's vote of 2,027. The Radical gain BO far is 485. The Conservatives are certain of six ont of eight Congressmen, and probably seven. The Legislature is Demooratio by two-thirds. The State goes Conserva? tive by 8,000 majority certain, and may reach 12-000, WASHINGTON, August 2.-The New York World's Raleigh special puts Merri mon's majority at 5,000. The Herald editorially says it is unsafe to hazard a prediction as to the result, from the meagre returns at hand, and that, after all, 't id possible the negro Counties may ?ive the State to the Republicans. The Tribuna editorially thinks the returns do not warrant any positive statement as to tho result-that-the gains in the oity may prove deceptive-being caused by this return of , the negroes to their County places of registry. The Times' special claims that the State has gone Bepublioan. The despatches received injthis oity in? dicate a very quiet eleotion everywhere. The returns wore awaited with anxiety here, aud the headquarters of the differ? ent political parties were crowded until a late hour. Numerous despatches were received and read, from both sides, claiming tho State. Greeley goes to Bhode Island on Sa? turday, where he will remain a few days. RALEIGH, August 2.-The returns from twenty-seven Counties indicate positively the election of Merrimon, the Conservativo candidate for Governor, six out of eight Congressmen, and sixty majority on joint ballot in the Assembly; thereby electing a Conservative United States Senator, in placo of Jobu Pool, the Radical Republican. The Republi? cans give np the election, the only ques? tion being that of majorities. The elec? tion was quiet and orderly thronghout the State. Tho contest in the Fourth District, as yet, is doubtful, the chances being in favor of Bogers, the Conserva? tive, as also in the First District. The probability is that seven Conservative Congressmen will be elected. WlliMTNOTON, N. C., Angust 2.-Rock? ingham and Carteret Counties give Con? servative gains. A Bepublioan gain in Caswell. Returns indicate the defeat of Settle for Congress. The probabilities' are that the Conservatives have carried six out of the eight Congressional Dis? tricts. At Kinston, in Lenoir Connty, Merrimon gains sixty-two votes. There seems to exist no reasonable doubt of Merrimon's eleotion by a decisive majo? rity. RALEIGH, August 2-2 P. M.-Beturna como ; iu slowly, though it is conceded that Merrimon, the Conservative candi? date for Governor, is elected by about 8,000 majority. The contest in the Fourth Congressional District is very dose, with equal ohanoes of success for the opposing candidates. Leaoh, Ashe, Vance, Waddell and Bobbins, the Demo? cratic Congressional candidates, are elected. The Legislature will have forty majority on joint b?llot. Nsw YOKE, August 2.-The despatches received at the Liberal Bepublioan and DemOOratio headquarters here, to-day, confirm the pews of Demooratio gains in ? North Carolina, and estimate Merri? mon's majority at 10,000, and a gain of 300 in Rockingham County, securing the election of Le?oh over Settle in the Fifth District. WASHINGTON, August 2-Evening LATEST.-Many wild contradictory de? spatches have been received from North Carolina. The indications at this hour are 10,000 majority and seven Congress? men. A despatoh from Greensboro re? ports gains from the West. Agents have been cautioned to be very careful, and the Baleigh despatches, dated 2 o'clock, may be regarded as safe. Settle telegraphs the Postmaster-Gen? eral that he is elected. American Matters. MATAHOBAS, August 2.-Tho military authorities yesterday announced a gene? ral amnesty, restoring the revolutionists to civil and political privileges. The general eleotion for President occurs shortly. DES MOINES, IOWA, August 2.-The De? mooratio and Liberal Conventions have agreed upon joint candidates, exoept for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. CINCINNATI, August 2.-The Democra? tio Convention of the Seventh Ohio Distriot, after 168 ballots, nominated L. T. Neal for Congress. MEMPHIS, August 2.-The County eleotion. yesterday, passed off quietly in this oity. The Demooratio ticket, with Doyle for sheriff, is elected by about 300 majority. In one of the country dis tri?te, there was some shooting, and two men are reported killed. McFarland, for the Supreme Judge, has two majority. Judge Loohrane goes South, to-night, in the interest of the holders of Georgia bonds, having been ratained to present their rights as bona fide purchasers. WASHINGTON, August 2-Evening. The Department of Agriculture, to day, commenced the distribution of sevoral superior varieties of fall wheat to all the States and Territories adapted to its growth. This distribution will be oom ploted daring the current month; tuna giving time for sowing in ell the locali? ties where winter wheat is cultivated. A large distribution Of ryo will follow this distribution of fell wheat The De? partment has made arrangements for an early distribution of vegetable and grasa seeds to ita correspondents and others in the South.

WHEN Winn o tm PEOPLE HAVE PEACE? It seems that the Government officials are determined not to allow oar citizens a moment's peace, so long as there is a proBpeot of getting a dollar ont of the Treasury. Scarcely a day peases that a marshal and a squad of soldiers-some? times two and three-is not seen leaving oar town to hant np victims of their mercenary crusade. These squads gene? rally leave here aboat dark, and are soouring the country all night, thns keeping the people in constant fear and alarm. It is claimed, even by the bitter? est advocates of the law now so ruth? lessly enforced, that the Kn Klux orga? nization is so completely broken np, that there ia no chance for lt ever to he re-organized; then, in the name of justice, why harass ?ur people abont it any longer? It is erne], cowardly and mercenary. The victima now arrested are nearly altogether poor, illiterate men, who depend upon their daily labor for procuring bread for themselves and families. They may have belonged to the Ka Klux-perhaps were induced to join that band by the very men who are now employed by the Government to hunt 'them down-but there is no such organization now in existence, and it is not at all probable that such an organization.dan ever be formed again. The mission of the Ku Klnx law hus been accomplished, and the continua? tion of arrests under it is nothing more nor less than malicious political persecu? tion. It might secure the election of a few Radicals to office, but as sore as the sun shines, it will not restore peace, quiet and good feeling among the peo? ple. A few days ago, the following persons were m arched tbroagh the streets, under a mounted gaardof soldiers, commanded by Deputy Marshal A. A. Hammett: Henderson Blanton, Zock'PhillipB, Jas. Phillips, Manon Ormsby, Frank Garter, Alfred Lom as ter and Robert Mabry. They are all from North Pacolot, and charged with conspiracy. The four first named haye been released on bonds; the others are still in jail. [Union Times. DROWNING AND INQUESTS.-On Friday, July 19, three negroes, Jacob MoKel vey, Au guet Small and Julia Mitchell, were drowned while attempting to cross the Western branch of Oooper River in a small boat from Glebe plantation, on the East, to Manchester on the West. A few days later the body of Jaoob MoKel vey was recovered and an inquest held over it by S. W. Barker, Trial Justice. The jury rendered a verdict of occidental drowning. On the 25th of Jaly the same Trial Justice held an inquest over the body of Wm. Boper, a negro, drowned at the farm plantation, on Wappahoola Greek, while endeavoring to recover bio hat, which bad been blown into the water. The verdict waa the samo aa the above. | A colored youth, named Sullivan, aboat eighteen years old, an apprentice of Mr. George S. Hacker, waa drowned yesterday evening while bathing near the flood-gate of the pond at the foot of Queen street. His body had not been recovered up to a late hoar. [Charleston News. SUMNER'S LETTER "A FonaEnv."-A well-known Charleston Radical gave a colored audience, yesterday, a charac? teristic explanation of the Sumner letter to the freedmen. He found that the let tor was too much talked about, and, aa he could not gainsay the life-long loyalty of Mr. Sumner to the interests of the negroes, he took the bnll by the horns and assured his gaping hearers that the letter was "a Demooratio forgery," and would be formally deolared so by Senator Sumner himself. This satisfied the dusky doubters, who stand firm in their belief that President Grant is supported by the whole Repubhoan party, instead of by its tag-rag and b?b-tail alone. [Charleston News. THE INJUNCTION AGAINST THE CITY COUNCIL.-On motion of City Attorney Oorbin, Judge Graham, yesterday, is? sued an order requiring the Enterprise Railroad Company forthwith to restore the streets damaged by them to their original oondition, and prohibiting them from making any further disturbance of the soil exoept for the purpose of re? pairing the damage already done. It also provides that the Gity Council can make application to the court to' impose terms upon the company, should the lat? ter fail to comply with the requirements of the order within a reasonable time. [CJuzrleslon News, 2d. Peoria was treated to a Saturday night sensation. A railroad conductor's wife tracked him to a saloon. She found him at "seven-up;" she gave him one-up by tho coat collar and over-tamed the tables of tho money changers, cocked a pistol on the remonstrative bar-tender, and marohed her half-cooked spouse home, as if to tho victors belonged the spoils. .

EDITOR: The largest Radical mass meeting of the campaign oame off at thia place on yesterday, the crowd num? bering eeveral thousand people. The day was very bot, the crowd was thick and odoriferous, and tbere ia bat one word in tue English language which oan convey the slightest idea of my opinion of tba meeting, and that word is stink. There was a terrible stench-a stench in the nostrils of all decent people that, in this day of civilization and refinement, a orowd of impassioned, unprincipled men should collect together, in the broad light of day, to promulgate their damna? ble political heresies, and influence the minds of their ignorant, uneducated au? ditors with the vilest, most incendiary language-thereby Atting them for any undertaking, however dark, bloody or criminal jw might be. Snob a sight was heart-rending to me. Bat to the speak? ing. The speakers were numerous, and said much on their side which muy possibly have weight with their sworn followers. That they said aoytbing calculated to change the mind or alter the convic? tions ot any reasonable, honest, intelli? gent thinkiug man, I think I can safely say no. The speeches consisted in ti? rades of abuse heaped on persons of dif? ferent political opinions,. Viz: the Demo? crats and Liberal Republicans. I must not neglect to mention,one notable ex? ception to this ralo, however-the Lion. R. B. Elliott, who was dignified and sensible in ull his remarks, and who gave another member of the Republican party, Mr. Sullivan, a severe rasping. S. L. H?ge was the first speaker, and had the same old speech he has spoken ever since his entrance on politics. It was composed of crude similes, Bible passages, hackneyed rhyme, and eulogies of Republicanism. It was received with no very great enthusiasm-the audience either doubting his utterances, or not being able to comprehend his match less(1) grandiloquence. H?ge has spoken the samo thing so ofton that he will be- , lieve what he says himself if he repeats it much oftener. Lowndes, a young fellow, as black as ink, from your city, next took the stand und splurged. His remarks had neither rhyme nor reason in them, and con? sisted of the merest twaddle. He is not smart, and the good colored people of Columbia had better keep such charac? ters at home, if they want to sustain their reputation as intelligent people. Hon. R. B. Elliott was the speaker of the day, and made an address which WHS a credit to bim aud his race. He referred to a commanioation from Abbe? ville in the Union, of Monday, signed "Union," and denounced tho contents of that letter as a vile attempt to damage the olaims of Cardozo upon the people of Abbevile. He called for the author, when Mr. Sullivan came forward. El? liott applied tbe lash of criticism, and used language which I would have hated very much to stomach. He told "Union" of his past history, and ad? vised the people of Abbeville to kick all Northern adventurers out of the party who come here to create strife or to live by their suffrages for tho mere emolu? ment of self. The dispute was very bitter, and came near exciting serious trouble. "Union" was like the anaconda, mentioned in the old song, who conld "Swallow himself, crawl through himself, Come out with great facility; Tie himself in a bow-knot, snap his tail And wink with great agility." He did all this, but failed to oonvince the people of the falsity of the oharges brought against him by General Elliott. Would to God that the colored peo? ple would see to it that none of these Northern men should stay here and live off their suffrages and paltry wages, by a a pretence of love and friendship. These oarpet-baggers, as a whole, are a trifling and most wioked set. Bat all things must end, and so this letter. MACBETH. The Tichborne olaitnatt, after a tri? umphal tour through the provinces of England, has at last returned to London, accompanied as usual by his two warm supporters, Messrs. Onslow andWhailey. He there held a monster meeting, at which 3,000 people are reported to have assembled. The claimant made a speech of an hour's length, in which he attacked, as usual, the arguments that had been brought against him in the late trial, and declared that ho wanted nothing more than for his fellow-countrymen to aid him in obtaining a fair trial. One Alex? ander Kennedy, an ex-sergeant of carbi? neers, came forward and declared the speaker to be the same Sir Roger Dough? ty Tiohborue who had commanded him in Ireland. At the conclusion of the speeches the meeting unanimously voted a resolution to the effect that the claim? ant ia no other than Sir Roger Dough? ty Tiohborne, and avowing that the counsel who had hitherto undertaken his defence, had not done their duty. Even the press is coming over to bis side, the Morning Advertiser remarking signifi? cantly that if the olaimant be really no other than Arthur Orton, it is strange that out of 3,000 persons, living in the immediate vicinity of his birth, no one should havo as yet been able to recog? nize in him tho Bon of the butcher of Wapping. DEATH OP Miss MALTHA BEATTY. This aged and much respected lady died at ber residence, about four miles below this town, on Monday last, after a long and severe illness, in the eightieth year of ber age. She was the sister of Col. Robert Beatty, Sr. She was never mar? ried, but her pure Christian character won for her the love of a vory largo oirole of friends. - Union Times. The freedom with which tho Southern darkies uso the razor leads the St. Louis Times to fear that it will eventually be? come the eraser of the race. ABANDONING THE FABM AT CHAPPAQUA -MB. GREELEY'S FAREWELL SPEECH. On Saturday last. Mr. Greeley attended thu laat of his usual Saturday HOI ree s at his farm, and at a dinner with the Greeley cl nb at the farm, aaid: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It was once remarked by one Irish orator of another, that he never opened his month but he pot his foot into it. One of tha ideaaan regard to o Presidential oandt?tt?', jia that be also cannot open bia m odin with? out accomplishing some such feat, They are always warned by their friends not to talk-although they might talk if they did not say anything. I would only say a word about these meetings, as this ia probably the last meeting we shall bold in this grove. My delight, friends and neighbors, was to spend a day in the week among you. For twenty years it haa been my delight to spend the Satur? days among yon, working around the farm, or in the woods, because I needed phyBical exercise. I hare enjoyed my self in your society, and I have had the recreation which my physical natara re? quired in working on my farm. This spring a new series of circumstances ar? ranged themselves about quite unexpect? edly. I then found that the friends vi? siting me here-originally two, four, six -were growing to forty, fifty, and some? times I found in consequence of ibis, that it was necessary I should dispense with my exercises. These re-unions I thought were very agreeable to me; but the critical state of my wife's health, and the ill-natured and, I must .say, imperti? nent remarks and criticisms of certain journals, have, rendered them sources of uneasiness and discomfort to those who united with us. I never doubted that persona who assented, as I do, to become) candidates for public offices are fair sub? jects of criticism; but I cannot soo why. ladies should/bavo their names criticised: in newspapers, and drifted- ucross tho continent by electricity, I do not think] such commentaries, such impertinent re? velations, are consistent with reputable journalism, nor with that courtesy and good feeling which seems to me to be' presumed whenever one man meets with uuother. It is therefore deemed expedi? ent by .oar friends to ask all who could, to come here to-day, and to say that after this our meetings will be intermit? ted. I trust they have been to most of UB pleasant occasions to be remembered. Whatever the future may have, the poet is faithful. Friendships of the warmest kind have been made in these gather? ings, and if we could have been secured against theae insolent intrusions, which were deliberately intended to be unkind and depreciating, we should have con? tinued oar re unions. But sinoe we can? not be secured against gossips and tale? bearers, we will discontinue them here, and meet elsowhere. [Cheers. "Yes, at the White House."| After a while it will be nobody's particular interest and profit to misrepresent what is done here. The objection made to ' the speeches of candidates for the Presidency, ia not what they shall say as improper or indis? creet, bat what they.shall say that is'lia? ble to misrepresentation. I was plunged, the other evening, into a gathering-a sooial dinner of college graduates. It would have been easy to make excuses against going there. I was entreated to speak, and did so, for three minutes, on the subject of education. It was at onoe reported around tho country that I pro? posed to give the Government the entire control of the education of the American people. The impression was sent abroad that 1 favored the pntting within the sphere of the Federal Government all matters of this kind. You will therefore cease your visits for the next few months; then, in November, the' elections will be over; and I trust that we shall, after that, have occasion to meet in this grove, and renew our aspirations of friendly regard for each other, and hope and pray ' for each other's long life and prosperity. After the speeches the company sepa? rated, and most of the visitors went down: to the depot. A Greeley and Brown dub wa3 addressed by the prominent vi? sitors to Ghappaqna. Mr. Greeley came down to New York with the balance of his visitors. SAD ACCIDENT.-On last Friday, Mr. W. L. Heliums, living near Centreville, accidentally shot himself whilst out hunting with' his gan. The circum? stances, as we have heard them, are these: He was moving a pile of rails with one hand, and holding the gun with the other, when the gun exploded, lodging the contents in his right shoul? der. His wound is doing well, but it is feared be will be a permanent cripple. Mr. Hellams was a member of Orr's Re? giment, and passed through many bat? tles without a wound. [Anderson Intelligencer. An odd circumstance has just occurred in Milwaukee. While a funeral proces? sion was following the remains of a child to the grave the other day, the agonized parents suddenly conceived a strong de? sire to secure a photographic likeness of I the corpse. Their wish was communi? cated to the other mourners, and the procession was thereupon stopped in front of the studio of a professor of the art, and while the dead babe was enb jeoted to the action of the camera, the sorrowing friends sought relaxation in a cooling glass of lager. A FATAL- MISTAKE.-Thomas Carroll, while riding near San Jose, California, on Saturday night, saw two men whom be supposed to be highwaymen; he shot ono of thom dead and made tho other a prisoner. Investigation shows the vic? tim to bo Henri Pattol, an inoffensive French florist, who, with his companion, who is in the same business, was going into tho mountains to gather flower?. Oarroll was committed for trial on tho charge of manslaughter. The editor of the Madison Progress sleeps with a bnnoh of pennyroyal above him, and the horrible hum of the ma? rauding musketo gradually dies away in i the distance. GOOD FEELINGS.-We know a blunt old fellow who sometimes hits the nail on the head more aptly than philoso? phers. He once heard a man praised for "good feelings." Everybody joined and said the man was possessed of excellent feelings. "What bas he done?" asked the old genius. "He is possessed of the most benevo? lent feelings," was the reply. * ?'What has he dono?" cried the old fellow, again. By this time, the company thought it necessary to show Borne pf his favorite doings. They began to east about in their mind; but the old man still shout? ed, "What has he done?'* .They owned they oould not name* anything in parti? cular. >*f*j "Yes," answered the ,?yuic, "you say that he.is a man that has good feelings.
