Of the eighty thousand negro voters in North Carolina, how many do you sup pose were absent on electiou day ? The lame, the fufirm, the sick, were brought to the poila, as if their eternal salvation depended on the result of the election. Vv e know of an instance tn xash County, Liberty Township, where a colored man who was dangerously ill was hauled to the polls by his Radical friends, and when he was borne to the ballot-box to deposit his vote, he was too feebh to utter a sylla ble, and seemed to be totally insensible. He was taken away without voting. We learn that he died two or three days after wards. The figures above set forth prove con clusively that we could have elected Judge Merrimon in spite of all the Radi cal frauds aud intimidation, if our full strength had been brought out.

Villi. a;tf Mr. Davis looks younger than he did ten years ago. we are told that he is enjoying excellent health, and his appear $uce ia the parlor of the Gait House last night confirmed the report. He is in the sixty-fifth year of his age. yet his step is aa firm aa thaCof a young man, and bis eye as bright. He had a cane in his band, bat it did not seem to be carried in the least degree for support. Uis hair is considerably grayed a medium iron gray in color aud his beard is also tolerably white, though that on his jtemples is still dark, and apparently but little touched by time- He sears a full beard, with a clo8ely 4rimed moustache, anJ this possi bly aided to make his face, appear round er and fuller than we have seen it in i long time. He is not quite six feet in height, of slender build, and his carriage is erect and graceful, his manner kind and grave, his countenance placid, and his tone clear and round and resonant His brow is broad aud deep, with the phrenological location of the powers of observation fairly developed, and hia whole appearance, while not impressing the casual ob.erver with the idea that he is a man of extraordinary powers, still bears the stamp of "Intellect and force of character. iom us, a cannon balL shot directly to ard it, and maintaining its lull spreed, would be twenty years in reaching it, yet t affects the earth by its attraction in an appreciable instajnt of time ' Who would not ask for demonstration when told that a gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight, beats many hundred tunes in a second ? or that there exist j animated and regularly organized beings many thousands of whose bodies laid together would not extend an inch ?

ORGANIZATION. We cannot allude too often to the nec essity of a thorough organization iu this State. Without;it we are destined to be defeated, nxt only iu November, but in every State, coutoat hereafter. The following sensible remarks on this suhject,' although addressed to the Con servative Executive Commit tee of Catawba county, apply with equal force to every one who has expressed hia own righteoua indignation in the prediction that ''after. the 4ih of March next their iniquity shall be gainful and iusoleut no longer." Of the encouragement given to official knavery and theiving throughout the country, Governor Bkovx thus spoke : How cau the public service bs reformed when every inducement to knavery and thievery is thus held out by the head of the government itself by converting the whole officering into a retinue of partisans, intent only on retailing place and curry ing political favor That there will still be found houest men in place whom no inducement can tempt to be wrong, is readily conceded ; but it cannot be denied that the system is utterly demoralizing, and that the demoralization has been openly, as well as elaborately, encouraged by the present Administration. To such an extent has it gone that these creatures who fatten on the spoils assume an air of mastery over the people, threaten them in their business, anuoy tbem with malicious prosccuiious, disciiarflate in the service betweeu friend ancNbe, as they choose to classify the public. Iu New York city testimony could only be gotten-by a com mittee of Congress, when sitting with closed doors, and under a quasi secrecy, to secure the merchants who might give evidence from ruiu and vexatious delays involving great lotes at the hands of the Custom-house ring. Iu Texas large uum bers of citizens are said to have been sum moned to Austin in November on spurious charges, to defeat them of casting a vote. Bills are lobbied in Congress with direct reference to the political character of the parties interested. No man of opposing thought feels safe from the hostility of the Government if it can touch him any where. In short, the "reform" actually vouchsafed amounts to a raid on the pub lic Treasury, a campaign agaioet the people generally, a war upon all the prin ciples aud professions putforward in 1SGS to entice the confidence of the nation. nearly all destroyed ; som? lavorably situated fields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Masiachusetts. August was more chterles s, if possible, than the summer months already passed. Ice was formed half an inch thick. Indian corn was so frozen that the great part was cut down and dried for fodder. Almost every green thing was destroyed both in this country and in Europe. Papers re ceived from England state "that it would be remembered by the present generation that the year 181C was a year in which there was no summer." Very little corn ripened iu the New England and Middle States. Farmers supplied themselves from the corn produced in 1S15 for the seed of the spring of 1817. It sold at from $4 to 6' 5 per bushel. September furnished about two weeks of the mildest weather of the season. Soon after the middle it became very cold and frosty ; ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. October produced more than its share of cold weather, frost and ice in common. November was cold and blustering. Snow fell so as to make good sleighing. December was mild and comfortable. The above is a brief nummary of "the cold summer of 1816," as it was called in order to distinguish it from the cold sea son. The winter was mild. Frost and ice were common in every month f f 'he year. Very little vegetation matured in Eastern and Middle States. The eun's raysseemed to bedestilutc of heat through out summer; all nature was clad in a sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety concerning the future of this life. The average wholesale price of flour during that year in the Philadelphia market was 13 per barrel. The average price of wheat in England was ninety three ehilings per quarter. thousand francs a respectable torn for a simple elcrk. Crampin was far fraea ja bilant when he left the eburcb. Some of! hia friends, in fact, on hearing of bis mar riage, had sneered at the matter ia rather a singular manner, without offering any explanations, and bad declined to be present at the wedding. Beaidea, wbea the sacrifice waa conanmated, Crampin Yelt tormented by suspiciona which before marriage be repelled with cootrtnpt. In order to dispel tbem be drank deep, and towards midnight he waa pretty mellow. It was now time to rest. The bride went first and extinguihed the taper. Five minutes after Crampin himself arrived. "Hallo!" he exclaimed "my wife pretends to be asleep. We mnst light the candle again." But just as be waa about to strike a light with a match he heard a rustling of curtains, and a man appeared a man of great heighth, wrapped in a white shroud tha. waa spotted with blood and without bead. He carried a red lan tern. Crampin uttered a stifled exclama tion, the bride rose hastily, and the two remained spell-bonnd by horror at the frightful spectacle before their eyea. For from the comer cf the room emerged eth er three headless persons, all clothed in white but blood-bespattered winding sheets, each with a red lauttrn in the one hand and his head in the other. They stationed themselves in front of the fire- a place aud saluted the young couple in a ceremonious manner.

The details of tho award of the Geneva Commission bave been made through tho enterprise of the New York journals. We have those details in a special dispatch to the New York Herald, from which wo condense the following particulars : Tbe aggregate award is fifteen and one-half millions of dollars, of which the amount awarded to individuals ia $11,500,000, and to the United States about $4,000,000 for expenses incurred in the pursuit of the Alabama, Shenandoah and Florada. On all questions of international impor tance the arbitrators were a unit. On tbe money award Sir Alexander Cockburu thought $15,000,000 too big a sum for John Bull tn pay to allay the fiery patri otism of the United States claimants; and, therefore, did not sign the award, and Count Sciopis virtually coincided with the gallant admiral. This ends the ques tion. John iiuu nays a small nne tor That the President of the United States received a bribe of $65,000 fmm A. T. Stewart. The President in return ap pointed A. T.
