THE WHITE HOUSE, THE DEPARTMENTS, CONGRESS, THE REVENUE SERVICE AND THE POSTAL SERVICE MUST ALL HAVE A SCOURING. • GOODBYE, ALL DEMMIES, GOODBYE. Archie Brady looks cheerful and happy, ami he may be our next post master. Sims, McNineh and Brady have been abused enough by tbo democrats in this campaign to make them life long republicans. If they want any thing from Mr. Harrison wc think they can get il. McNineh had a live coon on the window-sill of his office all day IVcd netday. All who saw it understood its meaning. “McNineh got the coon’’ was on a blackboard. The democrats of this county mad* the greatest effort in this campaign they have made sinee 1876. They wi re well organized while the repub licans hadn't as much as a man in one I ■i the wards in the city to meet tbo challenges against colored voters. Hurrah for President Harrison ! Mecklenburg gave Cleveland 953 ■ majority. A republican Senate, a republican House and a republican President - will not hesitate to make the Blair • educational bill a law. • 7“ arc to ° Ml ‘o write this week, and beg our readers to excuse us. Wo ■ g<ve you the news in a few words. Be patient. Dave Lecraft will not get his place m Washington, but some good repub lican will occupy it for him. Rowland has his usual majority in the Cth congressional district—every county going democratic except New Hanover. H. G. Ewcrt of the 9th, H. P. Cheatham of the 2d and J. M Brower of the sth district, arc the republican Congressmen elected in this State. West Virgina send a solid republi can delegation to Congress. The democrats claim North Carolina by 20,000 majority for Fowle. IVc have nothing from the western counties. They will be held back and doctored so ns to keep Fowle ahead. Our next President—Benjamin Harrison. Begin to save up money to go to Washington to see Harrison inaugu rated. The democrats claim Louisiana by only 3,000 majority. Is the South breaking ? Now let the Mills bil| go and let the Blair bill pass, but let the latter become a law. Free trade and false promises did it. I told you so. Democracy is dead. Among the incidents on election day was the parade of the North State Club, from one ward to another, with drum, bandanas and plug hats. They voted the democratic ticket. The Racket Store clerks marched to the polls in a body, beaded by Mr. Davis. It is supposed they all voted for the “white man’s party,” although it is said much has been done here by certain parties to break up this house, and that it is supported principally by the colored people. On Monday last the democrats of this county assembled in this city about 300 strong, on mules and horses, and escorted Senator Vauce to Sharon township, whore he was to speak to the republicans and prohibi tionists to try to convert them back to his party. Music and flags aud bandanas made the city look like a holiday At night the party in dulged in a torch-light parade. Good singing helps out greatly, and some of our churches would add much by improving on theii choirs, and especially by having the members come to church earlier. The election is over, and yet all arc not happy, hut it could not have keen well for all. Somebody had to be left. Read the news elsewhere. Rev Mr. Phifer preached an excel lent and soul stirring sermon at Grace Church last Sunday Morning. Bishop Lomax preached one of his well prepared, animating sermons nt Grace church last Sunday night. Rev. E. C. Davidson, an aged, honored and beloved father in /ion, has charge of Grace church till tbc meeting, of the annual conference. The annual conference of the A. M. E. /ion church will meet at Fayette ville, on the 21st inst. Bishop J. J. Moore will preside. If “My Son Oliver” wants any thing, ho can get it from Prosident Harrison. All tbc places in the Gov ernment will be to give way after 4th of March. The democratic party proved a fail ure, and were turned out of power. Men will-bc put in who can run the government. We nominate Mr. Thomas Kfond foot of Fayetteville, for postmaster at that place. Broadfoot is well posted in the mail service, ami is honest, reliable and competent.

We have the advantage of expo- j ricnced men for all the place and will I begin on the sth of March to turn the I rascals out. Boys get your old cards aud schemes and have them corrected, and begin to study up the mail service rules. It matters not whether Kennedy has agreed with everybody at all times, he may be called on early next spring to relieve Mr. McLaughlin. J. Will Brown can stand anyplace. He can run to Washiugtou, be mail ing clerk here, and being a good walker, can oarry letters in the city. Will is a handy dandy. We have prayed, now let us sing : “Redeemed,” “Hail the King,” “Rejoice and he Glad,” “Star Span gled Banner” and “Yaukce Doodle.” It will not ho hard to find a man for every place. Those that have done the work aud taken the abuse, should have first choiee No civil service in ours. By-the 15th of next April the last democrat should he out of the federal service. Let the change come speedily. There is a change. The coon is ours. He detests blue bottles, and when they come around him he snaps I aud devours them; but lie plays with ! red legged grasshoppers and don’t hurt ] them. Colored Lutheran Chiirrh. Rev. Mr. Phifer a recent graduate of Howard University will hold ser vices at the Mayor’s Court Room to- j morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock, at which he will lecture upon the tenets of the Lutheran church. Mr. Phifer hopes to organize in this city soon. Long Fares. Ever since Weduesday morning our domocratie friends have worn loug faces. We sympathize with the good fellows on that side. They have just gotteu a taste of the good thiugs in politics, aud when they think of the cliaugc, it makes their chiu drop aud mouth fly open.

Conan Doyle lias contributed an article entitled “Tho Geological Distribu tion of British Intellect” to Tho Nine teenth Century. lie takes tho names j given in a popular biographical diction j ary and in a book entitled “Men of tho Time,” gives tho birthplaco of each and j tlien adds up the number that belong to j each of tho grand divisions of tho United I Kingdom, to each country and to each j the largo cities. 110 finds that tho proportion of celebrities to tho entire i population of tho four main divisions is ’ as follows: Scotland, one in 22,000; Eng j land, one in 80,000; Ireland, one in 49,- : 000: Wales, one in 58,000. London has j a celebrity for every 10,000 inhabitants, j Dublin one in each 8,500 and Edinburgh I one in 5,500. An attempt is made to show that tho development of intellect depends largely on the geological formation of a country, climatic conditions, and other outward circumstances. A pretty good showing is made for tho truth cf tho statement | that “tho very highest intellects appear i to be dovelojved in tho peaceful ntmos | phere of country villages and tho small provincial towns,” and for another state ment that “music, poetry and art reach their highest development in the south, whilo theology, science and engineering predominate in higher latitudes.” Ob- I serration shows that tho latter statement is true of Europe as a whole. Music, ! poetry and art have flout ished in Italy, while theology, science and engineering havo predominated in Scotland, northern Germany and the Scandinavian countries. An American geography of intellect would show that nearly all our dis tinguished thinkers, authors and scholars were born within sight of tho White mountains and within a distance of 100 miles of the Atlantic coast. Nearly all our poetry has been written within this territory. Half of our noted wits and humorists were born in Maine. The lit tle town of Concord, Mass., has produced more men of tho highest order of intel lect than all the southwestern states. Tho south has produced several dis tinguished orators and soldiers, but no great poet-, painter or novelist. Tho prairies havo yet to show what they are capable of doing in the matter of producing great men. The topography of a country and its climatic conditions appear to exercise a great influence in tho development of in tellect South America and the West India islands havo produced very few persons who have gamed celebrity in any lino of human greatness. Africa i 9 far behind South America in this matter. Tho southern hemisphere is apparently deficient in tho conditions requisite for high intellectual development. Perhaps a popular biographical diction ary is not tho best work to uso in prepar ing a geography of intellect. A man may gain celebrity without being intel lectually groat. Most of our compound era of patent medicines, pugilists, jock eys, circus riders, and accidentally rich men havo gained celebrity, but it is of a kind that no man of intellect would care to attain. Many profound scholars and careful investigators never become fa mous enough to got their names in a pop ular biographical dictionary, but their in tellectual work is written in tho progress of society.—Chicago Times. The Exiled Queen of Naples. Mario, tho exiled queen of Naples, lives tho year round in Paris, in hired apartments on a third floor, for which she pays if 1,200 a year rent. The tiouso is retired and unfashionable, and tho rooms are furnished with almost meager simplicity. This recluso like life is fol lowed hy the queen’s own desire, to which her husliand readily accedes. She fools that she is an outcast from her for mer estate, and therefore is determined to lire like an outcast. "If.’’she once remarked, "I remain at the bottom of tho ladder, I shall at least havo no fear of falling farther. If I cherish no hopes i shall suffer uo disappointments. If I sot my heart on nothing I shall not be , bereaved. I wont to Naples n queen, and in a year I left it an exile. My rooms in tbo I'alnco there were scarcely put in order for mo when I was driven out hy the revolution. Then we went to Rome. My husband owned a palace there, nrnl wc made it our home. What then! In a few years Victor Emmanuel drove its out of it. Wc fled to England and then to Fiance. We wore about to make a permanent home and devote our selves to each other and to our only child, when that child died. Has not misfor tune pressed us cruelly? Doubtless, if wo were to purchase a house and seel: to make a permanent homo it would ho taken from its. If wo wore to make friends wc would lose them. No. we aro exiles and wanderers, and such wo must ever remain. "—Boston Transcript. llltvrv.ttnif Eunipcun Statistics. Dr. Alice Vickery, of England, alleges that Franco must be tho happiest country in Europe. She says that while the sur plus in women in Great Britain and Ger many amounts to nearly three-quarters of a "million and ono million respectively, Franco in 1881 hail a surplus of only 02,000 women, and marriages arc more prevalent in proportion to tho population i m France than elsewhere. She also al i leges that Franco has tho smallest prapor ! tion of illegitimate births. From 1825 : to 1807 tho percentage of all illegitimate births was 7.2 in Franco, 8.2 in Prussia, 10 in Sweden, 11 In Austria and 22 in 1 Bavaria. Franco lias tho lowest birth ; rnto of all European countries, 23.8 to 1,000, against 81 for Groat Britain and 38 for Germany. Tho nverago number of children in a French family is now j 0.3, against 4.0 in England and Wales, 5.23 in .Scotland and 5.4 in Ireland. Germany lias nearly 5 to a family. Franco has u greater proportion of grown up jersons than unv other nation in Eurono, tho number of persons in each 10,000 between the ages of 15 and 60 being, in France, 5,370; in Holland, 4.004; in Sweden, 4,054; in Groat Britain, 4.78*5 in tho United States, 4,390. : Franco has the highest averago ages of (he living, 31.00 years, against Holland, i 27 70; Sweden, 27.C0; Great Britain, , 20.3; thaUnitedStates, 23.1.
