The hington Republican, one oi" the most "stalwart of the organs, says in its issue of Thursday: "'" - There is a growing convietion among Northern Republican leaders ,that it would be love's labor lost to attempt to carry any of the Southern States, or win even a single electoral vote in the South next year. The argument is that the Republicans must concede the 138 elec toral vote of the South to the Demo crats, and then beat them with the 216 votes of the Solid North. This must be very encouraging to those Southern Republicans who are blowing around about their ability to carry Maryland, Virginia, West Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri, and such other Southern States as may be organized and admit ted to the Union between this time and the next election. The Republican, however, while ac knowledging that it is "a growing conviction" that it would be love's labor Jost for its party to attempt to re claim the South, dissents, itself, from the proposition, and says: It will not do to abandon the South ern Republicans next year, or at any other time, to the mercy of their ene mies. The Nation owes them a debt of gratitude for the noble part they took In the campaign of 1876rand, aside from this, the outlook is not so assured as re gards a Unified North as to make it a certain thing that their effective aid will not be required again in 1880. Oh, ho! Well, this is rather cold com fort all 'round. One section of the party proposes 16 abandon the Southern Re publicans to their fate on the ground that they are unprofitable servants, and another gives them taffy in order to hold them because, as it acknowledges, the chances of success are so slim in the North that these old Southern pack mules may even yet be utilized in the salvation of the nation with a big N. Looked at from any point of view, the feelings of the Southern Republicans in the matter must necessarily be entirely comfortable. OCR ADVANTAGES ADVERTISED. Modestv has ceased to pay in mate rial matters. We North Carolinians have a chronic disinclination to "blow ing" ourselves, arguing that true worth and merit are sufficient advertisement of themselves. Not so, as we should by this time have learned to our cost We, with all our great advantages and at tractions, have sat supinely by and seen our sister States States possessed of fewer advantages than ours prosper through their superior enterprise, while we have gone forward at a much slow er "pace. Of late years the press of orth. Carolina lias changed its policy with reference to these matters, and this has brought a corresponding change in the polioy of the people, All of us have, within the past five years, done more in holding out inducements to strangers and capital than we had ever done before, and our efforts have un doubtedly borne good fruit Evidence that the seed sown has not all fallen in statfry places, is found in the follow ing fettel, addressed by a Mr. Lewis, of Norwich.

' oTiffrssmanArmffeld introduced in the House Tuesday a bill to provide for the registration and protection f trade-marks." It will be remembered that the Supreme Court of the United States has recently decided the existing law on the subject of trade-marks un- constitution.Jdi because it undertakes to legislate in regard to trade-marks used in trade within the States. Congress has power under the constitution to legislate only upon trade between the States and with foreign countries. The constitutional difficulty is obviated by Gov. Armfield's bill, by providing for the registration and protection of such trade-marks as are usedvin jcbmmerce between the States. Undoubtedly the States themselves can provide for their protection in the premises within their respective borders as completely , as they can protect the trade in 5 cattle, We notice that one or more bills have already been introduced to amend the constitution m order to meet. the deci sion of theof retne Court. Thdre are few better lawyers in Congress than Representative Armfield, and his bill will doubtless, settle the confusion inci dent to the decision in question. Senator Hampton has expressed to thenfashingtoir trrespondent of the New -York Herald his entire approba tion of the bill recently introduced by Senator Bayard for the retirement of the greenback circulation. He says the Democratic party is essentially the hard money party, and that this bil is strictly in the line of Democratic principle and precedent Senator Hanoi. ton further told the reporter that the South only needs to be fully under stood 'order to be fully, trusted.; ; Dtsphteh writes that paper under date of Tuesday: CMoUMpuicaStafe committee; was at the capitol to-day, and in com menting on a casO in the Supreme Couit Baid the Western towns and corpora tions Had; repudiated .thousand 'dol larsj ou ; esejry jinndred repudiated in the South. i ' '' t -' J - Bravo 1 Mr. Keogh. - 6 It ANT AT LOUISVILLE. Gen. Grant was at Louisville, Ky, Wednesday. He received a great ova tion, and was welcome dto the city with he utmost warmth. The mayor wel comed him to the city, the Governor welcomed him to the State, he was es corted through the streets by a great procession, dined at 5 p. m. with Hon. Henry Wattersoh, editor of the Courier- Journal, and attended a magnificent re ception at the Gait House at night. The most unique thing in the whole busi ness was the Courier -J ournal s wel come to the distinguished guest on the morning of the day of his arrival. It is an article a column in length, double- eaded, from Mr. Watterson's own pen, and is entitled "Shake." We make an extract: , Seriously, as Mrs. Partington observes, "evil prognostications bode no good." All parties will unite to-day in a hearty welcome to lien, lirant, and nobody cares a cent whether he comes mounted or on foot. He is the city's guest, and the city entertains him no less in her own honor than in his. We may not be able to emulate the splendor of Paris, or the grandeur of London, nor even to rival ban X rancisco ana cnicag, oat we'll try at least to tread a measure with Singapore and the JSickapoo isles, and even to face it out with Indianapo lis and that frisky little suburb of Ours up the river. There is no pub ic man at the .North whom we should not be glad to welcome in Kentucky ; and the more ungenerous he, the more wisdom in us to open the door the wider: for, in the long run, no matter how discouraging the incidents may seem, that which is broadest will pre vail. Our little day is but an atom in the great space which envelops our country. The ascendency of this or that party is nothing by comparison with the ascendency of that senti ment of nationality which, like a single touch of nature makes the whole Un ion kin. We are Americans or we are nothing. We are Americans or we are lost. And all that glorifies and makes our country great; all that stands out in its History, past or present, should make us proud. The time will come when the figures of Grant and Lee will stand side by side as representative Americans precisely as Milton and Ru pert, Cromwell and Clarendon, stand out as representative Englishmen. He who cannot see this can see nothing. There are too many opportunities to set tle our party scores for us to disregard the few occasions when we may put aside our political wearing apparel and appear in the simple habiliments of a people possessing so many common in terests. But yesterday General Grant was the leader of armies hostile to the South. To-day he puts his foot upon Southern soil," our fellow-citizen. We risk nothing by treating him, as we shall do, as a gentleman and a friend. He goes hence, and, to-morrow, our dif ferences may be as great as ever. What boots it? The weapons which God and Nature have given us are not likely to be impaired except perhaps for a few nours and we snail be none the less able to do our duty against him for hav ing done it by ourselves. Counting Cjiickensi, &c. When Senators Hill and Vance and the staff correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle visited ex-Gov. Warmoth, at his home in Plaquemine Parish, La., a few weeks ago, the North Carolinian drank good wishes to his host personal ly, but confusion to his politics. The gifted carpet-bagger quietly replied that the latter part of the toast would not hurt him much, as the district in which he was running for Sate Senator was reliably Republican. The Chronicle now remarks that Warmoth counted with out his host, for his Democratic compe titor has been elected by a handsome majority. It sounds amusing to hear the veteran corruptionist complaining that he was counted out. DEMOCRATIC MAINE. The Republican Fraud that Will Lose Them the State. Augusta, Me., Dec. 12. The Maine Standard, the Democratic organ of the State government, announces to-day in a semi-omciai lone, mac uie returns from Portland, Lewiston, Augusta, Hollo well,. Bath and Upland counties for representatives all have the same technical defect, and that the Governor and couneil will reject them all. These eities elected fifteen Republican repre sentatives. The defect alleged in most Cases is that the returns were signed. oy inree aiaermen instead I tour. r Only Young: Seymour. Albant, N. 1 Decw 12. The- board; of State canvassers met at noon and proceeded to canvass the returns of the late State election. After canvassing uie vote oi eacn candidate, certain im perfect ballots were allowed the candi dates they were intended for. These consisted chiefly of ballots witlBhef Ini tials instead of the names of them, and erroneous spelling s . aames. Resolu tions were then adopted declaring the elected candidates receiving the great est number of votes. It was found as already published, that all the Republfe can candidates, except the candidate for State Engineer and Surveyor were elected, and they were declared elected. jLoratio Seymour, Jr., Demo cratic candidate for State Engineer and Surveyor, was declared elected. Geo. G.. Hoskins, Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, was declared elected. A Pennsylvania Town Destroyed. New York, December 12. -A special from Bradford, Pa says the town of Red Rock-has been entirely destroyed by fire. At an early hour this morning j a tans oi coai on containing twenty thousand barrels of oil caught fire and exploded, and the flames spread with fearful rapidity. In an incredibly brief time the fire had attacked and destroyed the entire village, containing 200 houses, and in a few hours rendered more than that number of families homeless and utterly destitute. Immediately on receipt of the above dispatch subscriptions were started at the petroleum exchange by Manager S. F. Strong, and the members responded liberally.- Funds are remitted Jby tele graph as fast as received. Waving; of the B. Shirt. New York, Dec 12. At a meeting of the Union League Club, last night. Col. Rush C. Hawkins offered a resolu tion that no Southern member should ba elected, and in supporting it said that the South was again manifesting menacing symptoms and it was neces sary to take some action. Jackson S.

Housk Gib son, of Louisiana, introduced a bill which was referred to tbe committee on commerce for the appointment of an inter-oceariic commission, to determine the best plan and route for the estab lishment of communication for trade and commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans across the Isthmus of Darien. - It provides for the appoint ment by the President of a commission to consist of five members, to be select ed one from the navy, one from the army, one from the coast survey, and two from civil life, the three first to serve without extra compensation ar.d the two latter to receive $500 per month,' which4 commission shall be called the inter-oceanic commission. Gillette, of Iowa, introduced a bill in opposition to the retirement of the greenback, in favor of substituting them lor national bank notes, and for the free coinage of silver. Referred. The Speaker then proceeded to the call of committees for reports of a pri vate nature. , PheJps,;of Connecticut, from the com mittee on ways and' means, reported a bill refunding to certain citizens of Lynchburg taxes improperly collected. Referred to the committee of the whole. Upson, from the committee on mili tary affairs, reported a bill for the re lief of Doddridge and Davis, of Texas. Passed. Baker, of Indiana, from the commit tee on appropriations, reported back the fortification appropriation bill, which was referred to the committee of the whole and the House then, at 1.20, went into committee upon that bill. Baker proceeded to explain the provisions of the bill. With one single exception the bill was the same as had been reported for the two last years. It appropriated for the preservation and repair of for tifications $100,000 and $50,000 for the preparation of torpedoes for harbor de fense. The item tor the amount of sea coast fortification, including heavy guns, howitzers, powder, &c, had been increased Dy the sum or $100,000, so that that item of the present bill amounted to $225,000 in place of $125,- 000 last year. lhe estimate of the chief of ordinance for that service had been $1,067,000. The Secretary of War had reddced that estimate to $500,000, and the committee had reduced it to $225,000. The increase in appropria tion was for the purpose of converting smooth bore cannon into rifled guns. If Congress continued to appropriate $225,000 a year for that purpose, it would be twenty years before enough could be converted to arm the forts in the harbor of New York. Reagan moved to amend by making an appropriation of $50,000 for the bat teries for the defence of Galveston har bor. The amendment was rejected. The committee rose and reported the bill to the House,' when it was passed. The House then, at 2 o'clock, went into committee, Hooker, of Mississip pi, in the chair, on the pension ap propriation bill, liubbell.of Michigan, proceeded to explain the bill. It ap propriated $32,404,000, as against $29.- 266,000 last year. The bill was agreed to and was passed. The House then went into committee. Mills, of Texas, in the chair, on the pri vate calendar, and at 4.10 adjourned un til Monday. THE VNCBITSHED AFGHANS.

William Adams dropped into The Observer office yesterday to say that there is no word of truth in the story told by the colored man J. W. Edwards, to the effect that the lost man, Harvey Kingsbury, had returned to his old haunts m this county, shortly alter his disappearance some months ago, and was at the bouse of Bill Adams. Bill says this allegation is the result of per sonal feeling entertained against him oy .Edwards, who already has mm (Ad ams) under a bond to keep the peace. laving given both sides a hearing in the matter, there is no necessity of say ing more about it in the papers at pres ent it has taken a personal turn, ana until Edwards has an opportunity to have his statement proved true or un true there is no need to discuss it fur ther.
