LEACB ON NORTH C1R0LI31 AMD SOUTH ; BBS POLITICS. The !New York correspondent of the i Washington Post telegraphs the follow ing to that paper under date of the 27th , Ex-onirressman James M. Leach, of Horthl Carolina, a prominent aspirant for the senatorship from that State, is at a independent or Greenhaeker politi cally, i" Who will be Senator Merrimon's successor in the Senate?" he was asked. It is impossible to sav. Doubtless the Republicans will control the election if they will co-operate with the Democrats. I think Got. Vance's chances are better than Merrimon's, but doubtless the suc cessful candidate will be, a dark horse." Does the independent .j movement amount to much in - the South V "So far as I can ascertain, : it does. Nearly all the Southern people favor green backs land plenty of them. As to the political situation, it looks to me uncer tain. The Southern people are not so much interested in National politics or in the 'financial questions as Northern peonies. They were willing to sacrifice the presidency for local independence. Now- that the South is under Democratic control I think it is very likely to dic tate . tfr the Democracy, in the North about the political future. 1 think they DrefersBavard., of Delaware, for Presi dent, and Hampton, of South Carolina, for Vice-President." "But both are Southern men." "Well, it may be policy not tof nominate two Southern men, but of one thing feel assured, the Southern people will insist on having a Southern man an the ticket for Vice-President As to Butler, I don't believe he would receive three Democratic votes in any one of the Southern States, and, as I said before", Southern people are not half so much bothered about the finance ques tion ai thfr North and West are." "Is Grant! in favor among the Republi cans ?7 "He is the idol of the4 negroes, and there is hardly an original Repub lican in the South who would not prefer Grant to. any other man for President The; future may justify Gen. Leach's calculations, but we do not understand upon what he bases them. We have never seen any reason for believing thai the handful of Republicans in the next General Assembly will be able to dic tate the action of that body. The inde pendents in the Legislature will be few "and far 'hAfcwppn. artel an far m 1 judged at present a majority of the , members a majority over Republicans and independents will so into the v Democratic caucus and abide by its ac tion. To say that they will not is to admit that the Democratic party in this State 'is a body without organization, and such is not the case. As to the dark-horgs prophecy, can it be possible ; that this is a case where the wish is father to the thought ? , When Qen. Leach says that the inde pendent movement is widespread in the South, he jnust refer to that portion of the South .outside of North Carolina.

The last issue of his paper, The Spirit of the South, contains the following article as a leading editorial : We are in receipt of a letter from William M. Coleman, of Concord, -Ca barrus county, written, as he says, at the request of Capt W. W. Robinson, chairman of the national executive committee of Cabarrus county, calling our attention to the call fora. confer ence or convention of Natioriols and others, opposed to CoL Steele, to assem ble in Charlotte on the 5th of next frnrvnth and rftrniAstiTifr 11st tn "aid in securing a, good delegation - from the lower country?! iBUIy further reouests us to write and tell him who will be the delegates .we will send,; and winds up his letter by expressing the opinion that f Steele can be easily beaten. It occurs to us, William, that you have taken time by the forelock in writ ing to us so unreservedly and confiden tially. We have not yet linked our for tune to your new-fangled National par ty, and, with the lights before us, we are by no means likely to become a member of that organization. At least, not soon. We therefore do not feel au thorized to send delegates to the Char lotte Anti-Steele-Greenback-National Sore-head-Democratic-Republiean meet ing, if we were able to do so. Of course it will be one of the easiest jobs imaginable to beat Col. Steele, the Democratic majority in the district be ing only between 5,000 and 7,000. But we would like to know the name of the individual who proposes to undertake the task. Does Mr. Orchard, of Cabar rus, who was recently elected to the Legislature from that county, as a Na tional, feel willing to take the contract ? Wei have heard as much. But, accord ingly our; understanding, this would not do, for" the simple reason that Mr. Orchard claims to I be a simon-pure De mocrat, and, so far as the main priu-i ciples of the National party are concern ed, he and Col. St0eje are in perfect ac cord. It must then follow that a con test between them would be purely of a personal character. personally, we know nothing of Mr. Orchard, but have been informed that he is an English man by birth, is possessed of some wealth, but is not a good stump-speaker. Of Col. Steele's personal character we need not speak. We have had the honor in the past, to differ with him political ly, and our personal relations have not always been friendly ; yet we are free to say that he is a gentleman of unim peachable private eharacter, and, we doubt not is far superior to Mr, Orchard as regards culture, learning and states, manship. In a personal contest then, between the two gentlemen, the chances wpuld )e, decidedly! in favor of Col. Steele. -- ? . . .i-ti ii The triith of the' whole 1 matter is, it seems to us, a few dissatisfied, sore-head Democrats, actuated more by prejudice than principle, have resolved to combine with the Republicans for the defeat pf (Col., Steele, trusting, un der the thirl' disguise ot Nationals; to deceive the people as to their real iden tity and intentions. For ourselves, we will take no stock in any such Indian like, cowardly mode of warfare. If the Republican party is indeed thoroughly worn out its forces scattered and prin ciples discarded as seems to be the case .the better plan for Republicans, accord tog to our idea is; when called to choose between, two Democratic candidates, to lalways select the ablest and best never, if or a moment, thinking of voting for a bolting Democrat who rims against the wishes of his party in preference to the regular Democratic nominee. Col. Johnston, in his brief candidature for the Democratic nomination over Col.' Steele, made some -charges against Col. S, but so far as we are advised, his course in Congress is very; generally ap proved of by liis constituents, and we nave no idea that he will prove so easily beaten-as Biliy Coleman seems to think. REPUBiicAjr cALcrtrrtoxf!. u The Republicans of North Carolina" are confident of electing three members of Congress by a combination with in dependents," is an item which is now jgoing the rounds of the Republican press, and which we find last in the Washingtort Republican. As j li.ef"Ke pubjicans ; are .hardly mating' &ifight lat all in this State such claims as this appear very absurd, but still, if this item serves as it does to point a moral, it is not entirely valueless. The moral is: Stand by the Democratic party ; the election of any other than a Democrat is a victory for the Republicans. The item above is a confession of judgment " Aivci mia me uiuepenuent no mat ter by what i, ha called need not deny that.The te in Collusion with the Radicals.
