Our people are somewhat character istic for being backward -in pushing themselves- for vard;. .and them " is yet the traditionary dea v lingering among them.that'.tbe - ofBce should seek the man, .and.not' the mans the office,' especially offices of the . kind that carry ' with . thetii.' dignUy and responsibility. - While ' this is very creditable to North Carolina, it has a tendency to keep her, so to speak, id tne shadow ot otner states tnat ; are not so sensitive as to asserting thems selves," and this being so it is not likely that any North Carolinian will be found pusliing himself directly or indirectly into public ' notice in this connection. But. in all ' the States South of the imaginary dividing line, that have made a persevering, gal lant and heroic fight in the cause of good and honest government, North Carolina stands T . Jhe first . rank. She has had mori p contend againgt in this fight than any o&er Southern State,- for here the Republican party was more numerous, better organ izecL better office red and -in better fighting trim, than in any other Southern State. .It was never over come without a hard struggle, and we never faced it that we didn't find it in solid line and marching as if confident of victory. Back 'of it it had : the National sxtministration, with its official patronage and ' the sinews of . war. The party had a white leadership in, this State . with more brains an4 more respectability than it could ' shows in any other Southern State, another cause why it' was formidable. ; But it was more than matched by the persevering pluck and devotion to principle shown by the Democracy, not by the leaders only ut by the masses who never became discouraged or cowed in de feat, but moved on hopefully, confi- dentlyt determinedly until the grand victory was won on the 4th of Nov ember, when we finished the bard - est campaign with the most glorious of tr iumphs. ; Ifjaervices rebdered in the cause of Democracy and reform, will have any : weight in bringing States to the front in .the organuta tionl of Mr. i Claveland's Cabinet, North . Carolina will be entitled to earnest-consideration. The proud position she holds in the vanguard of. Demooratic States was won and held by unflinching and incorruptible de votion,-hard, heroic fighting,- and sleepless vigilance. As she was true in the battle, so she would be trusty in tne council. - - Ex Senator David J )avis expresses the opinion that Mr. Cleveland will make a good President and that the i country will be prosperous under his administration. This opinion: was pretty generally entertained by the American people when Mr. Cleveland was nominated and elected, so that Mr. Davis is simply in accord, so to speak. He didn't Vote for Cleveland, however. " According to the statement of Chairman Barnum of the Democratic CQminittee,' the committee reqaived for campaign purposes $333,000, $52, 000 of which was from popular sub scriptions in small sums. We ven ture the remark that the Republican committee will not State to the public the amount of money it received. Gen. John A. Logan is reported as saying that mediocrity' and obscurity are the things which now seem to stand the best chance to win in a Presiden tial race. , There may be something in this.

' ..... : . . - ... - Correspondence Bidtlmore Sun. 4 - ; W A8HINQTON. Nov. 19 -The hy terical ravings pf Mr. Blaine from the steps of his house at Augusta, last night may be a cause of surprise to those who do not know the man, but to those who thoroughly understand his character, his false and malignant utterauce8 are precisely what might have been expected. xntelligent col ored people will not themselves be deceived by hw absurd statements. and not certainly ith intelligent-! white laboring classes cannot be. To read the language which Mr. Blaine applies to the South andjto the ruling elapses ot that section, it might justly be imagined that durjng his long resi dence m wahintoruieaad scrupu- ; lously held ; himself,,alocf .-from -the wijuuiiinmiiiii ; ui wiiucvuuii- wiiu ucrtrfreailfnUy wicked men. But no feian from jthe North has ever made such a point, of establishing close per : fkoaaX and social relations with' the Southern Senator and' Representa -tives .who - have '-dome' to. Congress since the war as Mr. Blame. He has literally slobbered-all over them; and at times pad such court as actually t embarrass some of thetmore sensi tive and dignified. Oaly a short time beforehe went out 'of uoneress. on the occasion of ,a political debate, be indulged in a tissue of. mwr presenta tions as to Southern jn'n;aua 8outh ern. measures similar -to that which he sent forth "oa- the wings of.- the wind last nightr A few minutesafter he concluded he rushed over: in . his ff U8i ve stylelp the seat of a Southern memtpr. fcr whomi he i professed a warm frientJShtp.--and' put rout his hand.' The mmbef srj,id : vMrrBlaine I don't "see how voir canrhave an v- thirg to do with U9 peopU, of whom you have so had an' opjnio. ?;"Oh, my dear fellow," wastherep4y, while the arm of .this great patriot and statesman was twined - around his necki "you must hot raind what I said : it was not intended, for you pee pie, but for home consumption!" SSeverai timedunnethecamnaicn. when l-en joying -the pleasures of the anticipated triumph which did not come, this man, who is now so fearful of Southern domination in the gov ernment, sent messages to different ex-Confederate generals, assuring them that the sunny side of the White House would always be open to them. A natural born intriguer, he had also instituted advances look ing to the formation of coalitions with prominent isouthLrn Senators and members as soon a3 he got into the White House. Nay," far more than this, to go back a little, there are competent and credible witnesses to the fact that shortly after the elec tion of 1880 this same Mr Blaine con templated and actually laid the foun dations of a scheme through which he was to be put tin the White House mainly By the aid of Southern elec toral votes, and which scheme he was compelled to abandon inconsequence of the assassination of Garfield. Mr. Blaine, in this last remarkable exhi bition of his disregard of facts and hypocrisy of professions, expresses deep concern for the condition of the colored people of the South under Democratic. rule. The incident related in this correspondence of last uightas to his utterance at the Arlington bar- oer snop shows how much, or rather bow little, he really cares at heart for the colored people or for their in- terests. ' fC : ': - -B' A Republican native born ex-mem ber of Congress from the South, and who served in the House with Mr. Blaine for a number of years, in com menting on his Augusta speech to day, said that in his entire service in CoBgress with Mr. Blaine he never Knew him to taice the least interest in any legislation designed to put the Republican party of the South on its feet or to ameliorate the condition of the colored people. He did not vote for the civil rights bill or for various other measures, projected for their benefit, and he used his power as speaker of the House to defeat the Force bill, which at that time was re garded as vital to their safety by both the white and colored Republi cans of. the South. - The ex-member said - he considered that it would have been quite as pertinent for J udas Iscariot to lecture on the cru cifixion as for Mr. Blaine to pose as the special friend of the colored peo ple. mx. Atwooo. a colored . itepuDiican of prominence of ' Louisiana, and United States consul to San Domingo, now here, said that the colored people cannot be gulled by Mr. Blaine's talk ; they Knew all about him and his record,, do not like him, are not at all worried by his defeat, and have no apprehensions of untoward . conse quences because of Cleveland's elec- . - rT . . . , 1 1' . ... . won. v ae uenies posiuveiy uab ine colored people were not allowed to vote in the South. Of course when Mr. Blaine made this assertion he knew he had no foundation for it, but a little - matter like that does not trouble his conscience. It was just as easy for him to say it as it was for him to telegraph to his national com mittee that there had been fraud in New York, when there was no fraud and he knew it. If Mr. Blaine has any i regard for what reputation he has lett, he win subside gracefully and resume his work on his book. : The Majority in the Senate, .Wash Cot. Baltimore.

Mahone has burned I his bridges, and there is no prospect of his acting with the Democrats, and probably not mucn more prospect oi Riddleberger goinir over sto . them.- The Republicans may therefore with good reason calculate upon a good working majonty in tne Senate lor two years to come, whether they can tor tne two succeeding years or not. The control of the Senate for the last two years of Mr. Cleveland's term may depend upon the wisdom of his policy In administering the govern ment and the character of his ap pointees. - - - - Damages la Dsth TTays.

How It Wirt be Finished. - The - Washington monument has reached a greater height thart that of any other structure in the world. being 520 feet ten inches above the floor of the , monument. : - The next highest structure is the spire of the Cologne cathedral, which towers 515 feet above the floor of the building. It has been estimated that it will take but twen ty five working days to complete the monument, so there is not the least doubt of it being finished in time for its dedication on the 22 of .next Feb ruary.: Ai tha construction of tl e .roof progresses,1 the question which excites the most curiosity is bow the capstone is to be placed in ' position. Peoplerpassing along Jthe -street look up and see the large mast which sup ports the boom for lifting stone,- pro jecting above the monument through the very point which will be occupied by the capstone, ai d wonder how the latter can be placed in position when th mast is taken down. The follow ing is the manner in which the work will be" done. " ' When only nine more stones are wauted to reach the sum mit; a-1 little platform will be built around the roof; which will be finish ed up to that point. This, platform will be bracketed 'to- large timbers extending along the outside surface of theoot and resting upon the large platform which can be seen at the top of the 8'uaf t uroner - uu the outride. .The niutf sbmet needed to complete the work .will be. hpisied by the big boom. " : w h ich is not at work, and placed On the platform. The mast and boom and hoisting apparatus will then be taken down and entirely removed.- Jn its pte.ee will be erected a quadrupod, the base resting upon the little platform referred to. .At the apex ot this quad wiped, which wilt" be directly above the location of the . caps one.; wLl be a block and tackle Jby which the- remaining stones will oe raised and put in place. After the stones are aH"up,; the quadruped, will be removed, then the bracketed plat form, and lastly the heavy timbers which -'supported it. The men will reach the large, platform by means of a ladder. . The work . will then le completed, with. 'the exception of removing , the large platform. Its timbers will be taken m at the win dows, the last man on the outside entering one of the permanent win dows on the eaet side, an4 the iron beams which supported the platform wiU be drawn in, and the holes which were left for (hem to pass through will be replaced, by marble blocks, and everything 'will be finished. ; A Corn eal Qu.p in yurt. , Syueuse Herald.
