The Republican party has slipped its crriD. mat tne jjemocrais wm couuui . . . . i 1 1 J Hl both branches! of the new Congress is no longer denied, and that they will elect thernext iPsresident is i reasonably certamr&t to put it . in stronger lan guage, a Tie Bepublic'akleaders see that their case is a desperate one and that to save a vestige from the wreck which is about to ensu they must resort to des perate measures. The bloody shirt is the resort. "The party" lost votes and Congressmen on the Southern claims and they have been, delegated to the rear. The shirt haafceenlidip.ggeji from its hiding, place, carefully ftlnstied 0fE, and the waving of the same is now be ing conducted in the most frantic man ner. The excuse for this violent but not unusual proceeding is of course furnished by South Carolina. The fact that the Democrats are in a fair way of sweeping that State with a whoop ; the fact that the Republicans are not likely to send HP ft pigle Ciigressmanrom jt; and the further fact that this result is about to be accomplished by the Demo crats enforcing fair play in seeing to it that their -speakers and the colored members of their party are pro tected in their rights ; these facts form the groun-w;ork.of,he great cry which has beemraised North that the rebellion is about to be re-inaugurated ; that the rifle-clubs of the South are hunting down and shooting down defenceless Repub licans, white and colored; that they cannot hold tbleir! public ' meetings ex cept at the imntperclf their lives, and that troops aire absolutely necessa ry not only to insure "the freedom of elections" but to save the poor down trodden Republicans from death itself. These are the sort of tales that, are being poured into' the ear of 'the Presi dent and which are being heralded over the North, under frowning head-lines, by the unscrupulous Republican press. The amount of ijtruth in these allega tions is as a grain of wheat in a bushel of chaff. The amount of truth' is just this: that on the occasions of several Demo cratic meetings insolent Republicans, colored and white, have interrupted the proceedings and been threatened with merited punishment but never received it It was so at Sumter last Saturday, where the? scenes' of Cainhoy would have been re-enacted but for the for bearance of the Democrats and the cool ness and conservatism of Gen, Hagood, Gen. Moise and $Ia3;Ht(ghi;SV Thomp son. A wmte scoundrel named Cogh lan had by bitter taunts and jeers work ed the whites up to d point of indigna tion lllmnat. llAVmirf iBni)iirunon wKila a the satii6 time by" his highly inflamma tory language he stirred up all that was wicked, malicious, revengeful and cruel in the breasts ot the ignorant negroes. An important question is; i How much longer will the sensible people of the North close their ears to the truth re garding the situation , , in the South ? They should know by this time that the whites of the South are at peace with the North and have no quarrel under the sun with' their late slaves. All that the people of South Carolina or any other Southern State want is even-handeCold-fashio'h'ed 1 fair , play. IVe have no need of coercion here, for every thing is in our own hands. The better classes of Republicans in the, Southern States know ' and acknowlfHWW 1 that. equal and,exa justice- is, accorded, in each of these States to all men of every race ana 'ciime. ' Mr1.' W E.

The convention met and bully joke the negroes over-balanced the whites, took charge of the ' convention and nominated another of their own race, to wit, the notorious, James ;H, Harris, compared with whom OHara is as stainless as a virgin. Thus the pale faces of the district are defeated at every point There are three Republi can candidates out .in the , second, dis trict now O'Hara, Harris and one Morris, who was nominated at Golds boro a week ago by a little crowd of ne groes calling themselves Greenbackers. To bring out another candidate would look like over-doing the thing, and would amount to handing the district over to Kitchen, Democratic candidate, The questionnthen is, iwhat are the pale face hungries agoing' to do about it? They have been beat at their own game and there is nothing tor them to ao ex cept to give it up.

A meeting of the manufacturers, merchants and citizens was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel last evening to listen to an address by Gen. Cyrus Bussey, president of the New Or leans chamber of commerce, upon the subject of promoting American com merce. Judge Booth, Hon. John C. Dare and Hon. L. Easton made re marks, and resolutions were adopted favoring such trans-continental cheap rates, railway transportation, as will develope our trade with China, India, Japan and Australia. Such cheap rates can only be obtained by breaking down the present railway monoplies to the Pacific coast and the completion of the Northern and Texas Pacific roads. The resolutions further recommend speedy action by Congress looking to that end, and provide for a committee of seven to give force to these purposes favor holding an international commerce convention here soon, to consider the extension of our North and South American trade, favor the extension of steamship lines with foreign countries by means of subsidies and mail con tracts, and call for a general extension of water traffic by congressional legis lation. An American Commission to Seek Oat New Forts of Commerce. Washington, October 17. Commo dore Sell uf eld t will leave this country on the Ticonderaga about the 1st of De cember. One object of his commission is to open new ports of commerce be tween Africa and this country. The second Secretary of the .Navy will have a conference with the Secretary of State, and they will agree upon a plan by which the commerce of this country will be advanced in portions of the world where the national flag has never been seen in that connection. The ap pointment of a successor to Commodore Schufeldt, as chief of the bureau of equipment and recruiting, has not yet been considered.

It is found that George Littleton, of Columbus county, the supposed mur derer, lied about the suicide of a young lady whose name he gave as Miss Ida Montgomery, of Social Circle, Ga.

Wilmington Star.- The first Baptist church, Raleigh, is a working church. We can remember when the Baptists were the weakest religious body at the capital, jnow it is the strongest, finan cially and numerically.

It eave over half this sum to objects outside of Raleigh. Washington North State Press: A recent survey of the dividing line be tween Martin -and Beaufort counties establishes the fact that Dymond City headquarters of the Jamesville and Washington Railroad is in Beaufort county, instead of Martin as heretofore thought This will add much to the revenue of Beaufort and conseouentlv lessen the taxable property of Martin. Our neighbors are much disgruntled at the result of the survey, and there is some talk of contesting the matter be fore the law. James Grimsle, on trial in Bladen court last week for the murder of Dan iel Faulk, of Robeson county, in 1877, was acquitted, as we learn from the Lumberton Times. A correspondent of the Raleigh xjpserver, speaking of the trial, says : The appearance of the pris oner is calculated to excite sympathy with a stranger ; he seems to be in great pain caused by a gunshot wound re ceived sometime ago. He is very much emaciated: has eaten nothing during the day. His position in the prisoners box is singular ; he remains on his knees on the floor with his head upon the seat the most of the time; when not in this posture he lies upon the seat; he has to be carried from the jail to the court room by two men, not being able to walk alone.
