Attorney-General Youmans, after a careful study of the ques tions involved, has authorized the statement that "an elec tion cannot be hold in Novem ber to fill by anticipation, offices now held by incumbents whose con stitutional terms do not expire until August, 1879. Under this con, ntruction of the law neither the sheriff nor the board of county commissioners could be elected at this general election." Tae ELEOTION IN North Carolina resulted in a victory for the Demo crats, who will have a majority of about ten in the Senate and thirty or forty in the House over all other parties. The majority would have been greater, but for the existence of certain individuals who preferred themselves to the State and who ran on bolting tickets in combina, tion with Radicals. The Radicals, as usual, showed superior tactics. Wherever there was a Radical majority in any county the party stood firm and solid, and only where party success was impossible did they combine with bolting Democrats. In spite of their efforts and the demoralizing influ once of Merrimon, it scoms assured that Vance will be elected to the United States Senate. The Demo cratic ticket for the Supreme Court had no opposition. Tie Congres sional election will not be held until November. The Rational Party. Memphis, Tennessee, has been carried by a combination of Nation . als and negroes, who defeated the Democratic ticket. Of course the negroes did seven-tenths of the voting and received no offices, but they hope to get pay in the future. In Atlanta, Georgia, a National club of twelve hundred members has been formed. It has six hun dred negroes in its ranks. From this it will be seen that in the formation at the South of any party * outside of the Democratic ranks, the old material of the Radical party is relied upon for victory. This should cause those who are b contemplating a National organiza-. tion to stop and think of the con sequences. However pureo andl sincere their intentions may be, * they cannot foresee what will be the ultimate results of the steps they now propose to tak . Cailm reflection and study will how them that the existence of the National II Democratic party is of importance as vitas the welfare of the Demo cratic party of the State, and that the latter can flourish only in pro I" portion as the former is successful. What secures to us in South Caro-. lina the advantages of home rule '* The action of a Democratic majority in the House at Washington, which enacted that Federal troops shall never agai.n be used to dragonnadlo the South. Destroy Democratic supremacy in Congress, and then a Republican administration will be at liberty to use every means to defeat the will of the people in 1880 as it did in 1876. Who are the apostles of Nationalism in the North I Dennis Kearney, the California Communist, who threat ens to shoot leading capitalists and steal the property of the rest ; Brick Pomeroy, who has been on all sides In politics, and a humbug in all; Shupe, the editor of the Advocate, who is now in the clutches of the law, because he failed to pay wages to a messenger boy, and who was kicked out of the fl Natiopal Convention at Syracuse, 1 0 .New York, as a hireling of John ~ V Sher,nan, ad a trickster generally ; and last, but not least, Beast Butler, who -Is to run on the National ticket for gdgruor of Massachu,. setts, anid who. 2oo*ns up as the National endlate for-PreMident In 3880. That there ate many good and honest men in'the National party, we admit; but we cannot see how good can come out of such leaders. All signs point to a presidential contest in 1880, when the three candidates will be U. S. Grant, B. F. Butler and a Demo crat. In thinking of these things, what true son of the South can contemplate an alliance in national politics with any but the good old Democratic party that has existed for seventy -ive years, and which, though defeated often, has ever renewed and battled for the prinoi" ples of home rule and individual rights? This is not the time to form new parties.
