Wo havo much to be thanuful for at this Uuie This Nation is at peaco with the world ; tlio few international i|ues tions ttyat arose during tho proceeding year have all beeu amicably and satis factoriiy settled, aud the general condi tion of our land is., physieiully and fiuanoially good,and morally at least no worse than heretofore, —if wo axcapt the local out-ragos calendered by the inordinate demands of strikers. As a State we have been blessed with abun dant crops and other signs of the pres . jonoe of prosperity, while our industries are seemingly reviviug and indications of improvement in business aro appar el, "God bloss our native'lnnd ! firm may she eyor/tand, Through storm and night; IVhen the wild tempest* ravo, Kuler of winds and wave, Do savo By thy great uiight." The Appalachian. Philosopher, pub- ( lisbcd at Jefferson, .Vshe,"county, is in some respect# unique amongst its State 1 0011 temporalics It denounces beth the ' Democratic anJ Republican parties and advocates their But any , impartial reasoner can but see that cow ; parties would of necessity be_ formed of 1 the same elements whatever might be their usues or platforms. Let it speak for itself: "The Demoeratio party brought on the war. The war euded disastrously to tho South. Therefore the Dcmoerat io party should have died with the war, beyond the hope of ressurrcction. Its principles £.are too nonprogressive to shape the policy of a progressive nation Its cardinal doctrines are rather detri mental to the country than other wiso, and devoid of true patriotism and polit ical economy. The Democratic party theory calls for an"expensiye*systcui of government, it was not tho party for the South after the war, but the corrup tions and excesses of the Republican party called it mto existence again, for pho want'of something better. The re publican party '-Taj formed far an object by honest men. It accomplished its mission, but after repeated successes be came grossly corrupt. It should have disbanded then, but no act of disinteres ted patriotism can be expected of a po litical party whoso chief end is the spoils of office jathor thau the [welfare of the country, and that is the position of both the politioal parties today, and ono bos not a whit more virtue than tho other. Neither has apy great issno/jf benefi cent policy to present to the people. COUNTY HO ADS ANI) STATE CONVICTS. Wo have scon no dissenting opinion expressed by the State pre*n in regard to demanding thnt oonviots shall be put to work on the pakKo re>»dh instead of upon the railroad* all of which are now operated bj private eorporatiuus. The fact ia tbw whole system of road working should be reformed. If oonviots oanoot be utilised in that way, the work should be done by taxation and mon relieved from duty of thin kind who do not pos ses an tore of land or driving stock of any kind. Wo bave not the space to discuss the subject, but copy from the Salisbury Watchman wUioi»*M;», ia ac editorial advocating the use of peniten tiary oenviots on the public highways: "The greatest rebuke to our civilira tion is the utter waut of respectability in our public highways. A change in the*iav3 th»t wofjld enable the counties to employ criminals would bave a good effect. First, on the "criminals them selves, in giving them good open air exercise at.d thai preserving their health and secondly, it would be a much need ed relief to the honest, industrious far mer, who in addition to his labors and annual taxes is it quired to work the roads. The counties are obliged to keep thu roads up, and also to feed and care for criminals. In any sense, it, seenu just and right that the county l should command the services of such criminals to do such public work as does not confliot with the trades of hw abi ding people, and especially.so wbou such i servico will undoubtedly tend to the eomfoit and convenience of the whole people." i POLITICAL. • —. Mr John 8. Barbour of Virginia who! has been interviewed as to the cause of Democratic reverses in iiia State, is rc-: ported as saying . "Tito Democratic disasters iu Virgin ia are due to a feeling of dissatisfaction with the AdiniuiiMration principally.! There were other cants, but this was the main one to create the apathy that ex isted. We are nil par twins in Virgin ia. The Mabone men are partisans of the strongest ty[>e. Tim Democrats who oppose them oould not be other wise if they wished. The Democrats have uot been satisfied that the Mahone oflice-holders should remain iu office under aJDemocntio Administration, iu other words, they have uet believed that this is a Democratic Administration. Carroll, Labor candidate supported by Democrats, defeated - lvuly, Rep., by one vote for the New Jersey Leg- Uiatue. Another instance showing how important it is for every elector to vote. No mau can-tell whether his vote will bo neoded or n. t before tho votes . r counted. The Kuights of Labor, it appears, have a great rival in the Trades Uuions. They wiil hold a Convention on the Bth of December at Columbus, Ohio. The object is to extecd these m all tho States "to influ ence State legislation in the interest of tho working classes," and "to disseiu iuate tracts and literature on the Labor movement." One delegate ie allowed from unions of less than 4,000 members; two for 4,000 or mote ; three for 8,000 or more aud so on.—VViliniugU-n alar. Party lines have beon relaxed in some quarters, and there if an inter-cbange of voters botwocn the two owing to the readjustment o incident to a change of issues in natiouul politico ; but taking the country together it in still Democrat against Republican, apd the relative strength of the old organisations has not experienced greater change than has occurred many times before during the past twenty-five years. The Democrat io States remain Democratic, the Repub lican, remain Republican and the doubt ful States continue to be doubtful. This is especially truo of Sew York. Again this State hns been carried Ly the Democrats. Hut again it is by a margiii so small and so wholly f.rtuitc us that no Democrat can be so sanguine as to oall the State absolutely eertaiu for his party—N. Y. World, Dcm EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR. The death of an ex-I'residcnt of the llnitod States should call forth special j editorial reference from papers of all ■ parties. Uoiug mt} the highest office in our country under such tragic cir cumstances, and at a time of groat anx- { letv and apprehension, bo so bore bim- j self with manly dignity and patriotic! fairness and so conducted the affairs of! the country nt large that ho steadily' grew in popular favor and put the pub-1 lio business in a better condition than j when ho assumed office. Nay, more, than this, be found the country disquiet -1 ed, the two sections io bitter antago nism, the best men in the South filled with gravest apprehensions, and ho left it with peace and confidence and good will prevailing from border to border, and assurance and hope restored to all sections. He was fair towards the South, allowod its people to work out their destiny undisturbed by throats aud unmolested by vindictive, oocrcive measures. Under his judicious, Amcr can system—treating all sections alike aud with the same regard—heootumand ed the confidence of his ooantryraon, l and retired from office with the respect of both parties. No man ever began offico under more depressing circumstance# exoept Andrew Johnson. Mr. Arthur was elected Viee President on the ticket with Gen. Garfield, and it was sinoerely baheved by a Urge minority of the cleotors of the countiy that the ticket was compos ed of corrupt men. Mr. Arthur was regarded with genuine suspicion by the Democrats, and was thought to be a vicious ward politician of the New York type. UU own Pieaident had driven him from offico because of improprieties, if not corruption. But he left behind him whatever of there was in his political record, aqd assuming the high functions of the Presidency of fifty millions uf people he kuew no sec tion and extended to the Sooth as he did to the North even-handed justice. This made him fiiends among hjs oppo nents. It is not meant to a«»ert that bis Ad ministration was free ffotn I'm Its or was not partisan. It «u a Republican Ad ministration, and was the beat tbe coun try had had amoe Buobanan'a whieh terminated 4th March, 1861. President I Arthur exliibitod more ability, more statcMnanship, more ohora#tor than was oxpeutcd by either party, and it is only fair and just to bis memory that these things should bo said in a Demooratie newspaper that opposed steadfastly what ever was distinctively Republican and Ipartisan.—Wilmington Star.
