In the yeari eighteen hundred and sixty-ejfght, the Hon.fiT. S. Ashe was defeated for the Gubernatorial (Hi air, in North'Carolina, by W. W. Holden, through the immense power given to the radical party, by conferring the lective franchise, upon the large body f freedmen who lived in the State. The :. privilege .was conferred,, and to man they made use of it. The Con servative administration instituted by Got. Worth, was changed into the rad ical administration of Holden, which grew from bad to worse, until the Ilql-ded-Kirk war, brought the people to their senses, and so far as they were 41,... 4..: 1 . v: I ,ucu we Wyy tUiUCu upuu wicxi "A" pressors, anu .wresseu ineir own gov- eminent from' the hands of thetbieves. Bat during the two years of radical reign, our State was plunged headlong into the most fabulous -debt. Under tbe new regime, officers were created "or needy political sycophants, wherever they could be found, and the fees and salaries of every State officer were raised to meet the wants and needs of the hungry pack, who espous ed the cause of radicalism. Not con tent with raising the salaries of the egular officers of the State Govern ment,, when the radical convention of 63 met, twelve dollars per diem wes not thought to be too much pay for the presiding officer of that body, while the members voted themselves eight to ten dollars. When the suc ceeding Legislature assembled, having a heavy radical majority, they approv ed all that had been done by the con vention; set up a free bar, which was called at the time, a third branch of that body, organized themselves into a gang of plunderers under the leader ship of Littlefield, and. held high car nival, until the people became disgust ed and appalled. But this was not all. The radicals in our State were but following in the wake of the thieving set, who were entrenched at Washington. The Con stitution, law, order, justice every thing was subordinated to the bene fit of the radical party, and the wel fare of their adherents. Nothing was too wicked to be done, if the inter ests 'of the nartv demanded it. Polit- ical trickers, devoid of every principle of honesty.manoeuvered the wires, and they were allowed to have their own J , T. , . r n away,wbile the members of Congress, whose positions made them the guar- dians of the peoples' interests, were into Credit-Mobilier jobs, Sanborne Jayne contracts, sandstone swindles, Pacific mail subsidies, with rich pick ings, and a host of other infamous schemes, up to their arm pits. Many of the schemes for the robbery and spoliation of North Carolina, were ccncocted, and brought to light under their fostering care, to be carried out in the dark dens of political infamy here. Is not this picture dark enough ? We forbear. Such then was the pitiable condition of the country, when the conservative and better classes of the people gath ered under the banner of reform. In the ranks of the Democratic party were found t lie best men of the coun try. To that party, and to that party alone, could the people look for re form. On its battle-flag were inscribed, retrenchment, economy, honesty and reform. Fighting at fearful odds, against a party strongly entrenched,and on ground of their own choosing, they have battled fearlessly against radical ism, and have captured stronghold aft er stronghold, citadel after citadel, until victory, full, and complete, al .v.- KtHo etaniK ard. Once in power, in our own State, the Democratic party set itself to work to redeem its pledges to the peo ple. Wherever it has been possible, retrenchment has been accomplished, salaries have been cut down to an ante bellum scale, and the whole manage ment of the State Government has fceen r.haneed. with what effect the Deonle well know. Should we be for tunate enough to adopt the Constitu tion framed bv a democratic conven tion, now pending, the per diem of fu ture legislators will be four dollars, while a number of supernumerary of ficers and other needless expenses have , . ,, been cut off, thus practically carrying out the pledges, made in good faith, to the people. ' The Democratic party in the Na- tional Administration have been en- tirely powerless until the assembling of Congress, in last December. Gain- ing a popular majoritv in the lower house, by a direct appeal to the people of the United States, they have set themselves vigorously at work to clean Gutthe Augean 8 table of radical ras cality. Argus eyed Democratic Con- gtessmen are prying into the reports arfdfigafesHjf the various departments.

' " ' ' ' BABCOCK TREMBLLS. i The. telegraph Gas already informed us-, that' the conviction of McKee one . of the administration pete, has very much alarmed General Bab cock, and hisffriends; and the recent appointment of a military court to try that officer.is evidence that Presi dent Grant himself fears an investiga tion. Now, if General Babcock Is innocent, wlry sbould his friendsTear investigation ? It must be that an overwhelming conviction is anticipa ted, because deserved, and if deserved there is ample cause for bis knees and those of his friends to smite together as ma. J5eishazzar's. We should not wonder if there is more fear for the pregident than for Babcock: for there is no knowing what the developments may be, and his relations with the imperial court were so familiar that, if guilty, it is almost impossible that his Crimes were unknown to the President. The conviction of McKee is a step in the right direction, and every patri ot in the land desires that the good work shall be thoroughly done, even if the occupant of the White House should himself be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors. A New Political Organization. Washington, Jan. 30, 1876. A SECRET POLITICAL ORGANIZATION ITS PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTS A secret organization has recently been started, and has already a mem bership of 15,000. It is called "The Free School Guard." Its headquarters are in Washington, D. C. The rules for government are similar to those of the Patrons of Husbandry. Its objects are as follows : The Union and the Constitution. Liberty and Union Forever. The .Preservation of Our Public Institu tions. Free Schools, Free Speech and a Free Press. Public Schools to be Free from Sectarian Influence and Control. No Sectarian School to Re ceive State or National Aid. The State or National Government to Provide for the Education of Every Capable Child. Education Shall be Compulsory. No Education, no Franchise. One Term of Six Years for the President of the United States. Loyalty to the Government. Church Property to be Taxed. The President of the United States to be Elected by a Direct Vote of the People. The declaration of principles is T?0(fi;?a1' but "Qt Partisan. Motto- Intelligence, Freedom and Union. Watchword Preach aCrusade Against Ignorance. We do not know the meaning: of all this ; it is copied from the New York Herald and after all may be one of the Herald's sensations. There is one thing about it, it is a secret organiza tion and its object political, therefore it can never flourish. Journalistic. The Wilmington Star announces Mr. George W. Hardwicke as general assistant in the editorial and iiness management of that paper In making the announcement toe biar save: Air. Jiarawicke is a journalist of many rears' ex perience in the various departments of the business. For seventeen yeai-s he was one of the editors and propnetore of the Lynchburg Republican, in which position he became widely and favor ably known to the profession." We congratulate the Star in this evi dence of success, and trust that its twinkling may grow brighter, and brighter, as the days and nights pass by Andersonville. The Montgomery Mail furnishes this bit of "concurrent testimony" regard ing the cause of the Andersonville hor rors, the memory ot which bids lair I rt HicMirh tha ha rrtxr rtt ( t o I'nnlnn nial festivities : "The writer of this can testify that during the time the Andersonville prisoners suffered most for food and clothing, such scarcity existed in the Confederate line of bat tie, among the soldiers in the field, that an average man could have taken in, at two swallows, the whole of his day's rations of bacon and eat nearly twice the bread allowed him, at one meal, without discomfort. He has seen strong men stand in the ditches around Petersburg, and cry like child ren when their rations were delivered This is no fancy sketch ; it can be sub stantiated, if need be, by the concur rent oaths of forty thousand good and true men.

The report that evidence had been discovered by the execi tors of Oakes Ames, exonerating ex-Vice-President Colfax from any dishonorable connec tion with the famous "S. C." checks, is contradicted by Mr. Oakes A. Ames, who pronounces the statement untrue, and adds : "On the contrary, all the information in my possession both as an executor and -an individual, con vinces me that the .payment which Mr. Ames claimed, to have made to Mr. Colfax and others, were made at tbe time, in the manner, and for the purpose stated by him.

The report is very f voluminous, and g"ives all thei legal points in the case. In conclusion. the committee say they coil Id hot ' be Insensible to he fact" that the case has aroused the bitterest prejudices and bickerings that party rivalry could excite, and they only re gret that it will not be determined in an atmosphere less impregnated with the passion of factions, and while they condemn and despise that partisan bi as which too often misleads commit tees and assemblies to count in those candidates who sympathize with their political opinions, when the people have rejected them at the polls, they at the same time more heartily eon- demn those who, fearful that suspi cion may attach to themselves, should shrink from declaring their true judg ments and abnegate their manhood as men and their independence as judges.; - The committee say- that in their judgment despite the fact and the ru mors of the street and the charges of partizans not sustained by the evi dence, the record shows that Johnson received a majority of the votes cast, and thev. therefore, submit and re commend the adoption of a resolution that Knight is not entitled to a seat in the Senate, and that Johnson, the sit ting member, is entitled to the seat he now occupies. The Original Jeff. Davis Man. The New York World, in a scathing editorial, headed "The Original Jeff. Davis Man," tells how when Thad Stevens, of Pennsylvania, drove his brutal reconstruction scheme through Congress, Mr. Blaine offered an amend ment providing for complete amnesty. including, of course, Jefferson Davis. The tyrant of the House was not, how ever, to be thus trifled with. On the 13th of February, 1867, Mr. Stevens forced the House to action on Mr. Blaine's amendment. He used, as was his wont, more plainness than politeness of speech, and unceremoni ously kicked Mr. Elaine out of the "sheepfold" of the Radical saints into the "goatfold" of the wicked. "Tbe amendment of the gentleman from Maine," said Mr. Stevens, "lets in a yast number of rebels and shuts out nobody. All I ask is that when the House comes to vote upon the amend ment it shall understand that, the adoption of it would be an entire surrender of these States (the South) into the bands of the rebels. It is a proposed step toward universal am nesty and universal Andy-Johnsoh- lsm. The bill was, of course, lost, by a vote of 97 nays to G9 yeas, Mr. Blaine voting yea with Mr. Randall, of Penn sylvania. But then Mr. Blaine was bidding lor luture Southern sympathy and strength; now he wants to be President by Radical votes. The Centennial Bill in the House. "A. H. A.," writing from Washing ton City to the Rileigh News says : "The vote upon the Centennial Bill in the House was a fair supplement of the excellent speeches from Southern members made in its defence. Of the broad liberalism which is rapidly as serting itself in our politics, despite the ever recurring theme of the war and its results, whichjdemagogues em ploy for selfish end, North Carolina gave in the speeches of Waddell and Robbins a notable expression. Col. Waddell's speech upon the Centennial bill has given him an enviable public notice, and Major Robbins has simi larly illustrated his district and State. Judicious and experienced members tell me that Major Robbins' speech visibly affected the temper of the House, and that from that gentleman the House always expects just such displays of judgment and spirit and culture as he has recently made. Such a man in Congress is worth to a constituency, dozens of the mere auto mata that our people too often send here from motives, based upon almost anything else than a regard for repre sentatives capacity. It is not necessa ry to. criticize the motives and opin ions of the many worthy gentlemen from the South who could not see their way clear to support the Centennial appropriation, and no censure of them is impliedin the eulogies universally accorded To Robbins, Waddell, Lamar, Hill Gibson and others who have elevated themselves to the broad and high platform of practical statesman ship." .

The matter will be heard before a colored Trial Justice during the coming week, and bids fair to be of some interest, as Col. You mans and Speaker Elliott appear on opposite sides of the question. On Saturday night, two negroes, named David Harris and Thomas Carter, became engaged in a quarrel in a house on Cobb street, Hamburg, S. C, about the wife of Harris. Tt ap pears Harris does not live with his wife, and paid her a visit, but was re quested not to call agaim Her broth er, Thomas Carter, was in the room at the time, and reiterated the request. Harris drew a knife and threatened both of them. Carter drew his sister out of the room, and had a whispered cansulationt with her in the yard. Carter then went away, and walked down to a house where he procured a Remington military rifle, and just as Harris stepped out into the street, Carter fired at him from a distance of ten feet off. The ball struck Harris in the left breast, just above the nipple, passed clear through him, and waa beard whistling past by a woman two hundred yards distant. Harris drop ped dead, and Carter made his escape. The Philadelphia Times says: The manly and patriotic speech of Mr. Rob bins, of North Carolina, on the Cen tennial appropriation bill merits the study of every sincere friend of Our free government. It is in sublime contrast with the studied assaults of the Mortons and the Blaines and the Hills against the peace of a once bitterly estranged but now reunited people, and wherever there is faithful devotion to the repub lic Mr. Robbins will have grateful read ers and admirers. Mr. J. H. McVicker has bought up ail claims of all creditors against the estate of Mr. Edwin Booth.
