"God has not breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of the man, or set of men, toho can again thwart and de feat the fairly and legally expressed tottt of this people-mark that!" Hon. W; H. English, of Indiana, in New York Herald. . , (ZltUM IEYSIOVII BOOM. Notwithstanding all that has been said we think the action of the Demo crats at Utica, New York, the home of Gov. Seymour, on last Saturday settles the question that he will agree to enter . Uto cnvass as a candidate for the pres idency! nominated by the Cincinnati convention. At the Democratic cau cusses alluded to - the friends of Mr. Tilden met with discouraging opposi-- tion. The sixth ward instructed its delegatesto vote against .all measures looking to his nomination to the presi dency. In the tenth ward caucus a set of resolutions were adopted instructing the delegates to use all honorable me:ins to bring about the nomination of Horatio Seymour. In the twelfth wind also the ticket for delegate was headed by the inscription. "For Presi dentIImatio Seymour." The delega tion from Utica, which is Mr. Sey mour's home, is solid for him, and it is said the masses of the people there be lieve he will yet be President of the United States. Now it appears to b pfrfectlv plain that if Gov. Seymour were determined not to accep' the nomination if tender ed to lilm, he would stop his friends and neighbors. in their primary hjeet ingfyaud not allow jthem to goon in tb expression: oL'public opinion in favor f a lifeless candidate. The Observer some time ago stated that it had information which would make it almost impossible for Gov. Seymour to be a candidate for the pres idency. This information, it is hardly necessary to say, related entirely to Mr. Sevmour's health, but since that time there has been a very decided change for the better, and his failure to curb, or rather restrain, his old friends and neighbors, who are acting under tris eye, seems to us to be pre suraptive evidence that he may yet yield to the wishes of the Democracy of the nation. If asked to-day if lie would allow himself to be considered a candidate he would probably answer in tho negative. We hope and trust that when the nomination is tendered to him, as it will be, if his health will per mit, lie will sacriflce whatever of ease and comfort he may have promised himself in his declining years, to the restoration of the Democracy to power. In this connection may be stated the waning strength of Mr. Tilden, who is now probably Mr. Seymour's only rival for the nomination from the State of New York. By interviews published in the New York Herald, and other pa pers North, within the past few days, he is shown to be so far behind as to be practically out of the contest, and in proportion to his losses Mr. Seymour gains. We shall see what we shall sge. ClAHLOTTE'S POPULATION. The letters of our local correspondent "Junius," calling attention to the fact that a large proportion of the inhabi tants, and especially of the business people of Charlotte, were not born within the corporate limits, suggests some reflections which may be of ser vice in future efforts to build up the city and extend,, her business capacities. M Junius'- really tells us nothing new when he shows that it is what is desig nated as the foreign element which has built up Charlotte ; this is a fact which has ; long been recognized here as in other towns and cities which have been marked by a rapid growth at;any period of theif existence. And while this is true, 'iVdoes not necessarily imply that the original inhabitants are lacking in energy and enterprise. The very re verse is frequently the case. The in troduction of "foreign" element, while it may do much to increase the motive power of towns and cities, does more by iftviflgi direction to latent forces. ThevinoreC widely distributed the field from which these elements come, the stronger and more invigorating will be the life which they infuse. "Jun ius" has sho wn that Charlotte has gath ered her population ' from all parts of the United States, and in it is a strong mxure of, an element which is literally foreign'. .But while they came from everywhere, they have made Charlotte their home, and are no lessjdevoted to her interest and - certainly not less proud of the stand she has taken in th commercial world than those who were born within her limits, and claim a de scent fro m characters who have given her a name in history. Heterogeneous in origin, its population is nope the less homogeneous in those matters which pertain to common interest. What can be rj5lairned for Charlotte, is that she extends a cordial welcome to every man who comes to link his fortunes with hers, without making further in quries, thai that he is honest and in tend' tJ ; yprit- Ttns characteristic, which Is universally acknowledged, is what the "foreign" element can largely claim as due to itself, and the impor tance of 1t is conceded -by every one who. .has .taken the trouble o devote any thought to the subject To extend the -hand-of-welcome to new comers, is the first duty if every citizen ;. the next is to make them feel that they are as much a part of the place as any other citizen.. That this, is done here, is evi denced the pride of citizenship, whiehBtrangera frequently remark, and by -the irresistible attraction which seems to affect every one who has once lived in our midst.

Jefferson, tjol ored, dirf ing $ rowttbout a woman, yes- As will be seen from our news col umns, Mr. Best is about to get another North Carolina railroad-rthat which runs from GoldsborotQ Morehead City, u and constitutes a link in the old "North Carolina system" old, because it has been dead and laid away ever since the lease of the North Carolina Railroad proper. Those who have been engaged in trying to discover Mr. Best's pur poses are more completely baffled than ever before. Why should he want this road when he has not the connecting link between it and the Western North Carolina V And yet he offers to lease it on terms which are cortaedeiL to be Jbeir ter, from the company's standpoint at least, than the present earnings. The "mullet road" as it has', been derisively called, has, like the Western North Carolina, been a disturbing element in politics, and the people along its line have suffered from the effects of the po litical control to which it has been sub ject They can hardly be worsted by the trade about to be consummated; they may be greatly benefited. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Tbe Result in Ohio Cities and Town -Itlarahall Get a SurprUe. Cincinnati, April 61 a. m. Only onerthird of the city voting 1 precincts have been heard from, but the . in dications are that the Republicans elect Espelby.city comptorller, over Hoffman, Democrat, and a majority of 12 mem bers of the board of education. There was a light vote polled. In Columbus City the council will be Republican by 6 majority. In Toledo the Nationals are defeated, though party lines were not strictly drawn. Disturbances are reported at the polls at Shelbyville and Scottsville, Ind.. growing out of a ne gro voting at the latter place. The county treasurer was badly injured. Marshall. April 6. The municipal election in this city resulted in a man ner wholly unexpected by either the Democratic or Republican parties. The Republicans went into, the campaign completely demoralized ly declinations until but two names were left on their ticket. The Democrats were dissatis fied with their nominations and inde pendent candidates were brought out for mayor and recorder. These, at the last hour, the Republicans endorsed, and the result was the Democrats elect ed the treasurer, recorder, attorney and assessor on the regular ticket, and the opposition elected uie mayor, who is the present incumbent, and a strong Democrat; and the auditor, who is u Republican. Of the aldermen the Dem ocrats elect two, and the Republicans three, making the next council stand six Republicans and four Democrats. 'TIS A I N WRECKED. Baggage, ITIail and Passenger Cars Thrown from (he Track without Much Damage. Meridian, Conn., April 6. The night express train that leit Boston last night for New York via Springfield was par tially wrecked by the caving in of an embankment, three miles north of this city, at 2 o'clock this morning. The train was composed of two express, mail, baggage, two passenger and three sleeping cars. 1 he locomotive remain ed on the track, but the balance of the train left the rails. The first express car fell on its side on the track, and the second one tumbled twelve feet -down the embankment The mail car fol lowed, the baggage car reared upon one end of the mail car, which saved it from going aown. ne oaiance or the cars were crushed against each other, but not much damaged. Strange to say, not a person was seriously injured. The mail car had a stove in it which set it on fire, but the names were extinguish ed without doing much damage. The accident was caused by the Hartford Ice Company drawing water off their ice pond, which adjoins the track. This caused the embankment to give way when the train dashed upon it at a speed of thirty miles a hour. CABLE FLASHES. London, April 6.
