The approaching close of another year brings with' it the occasion for re newed thanksgiving and; acknowledg ment to the Almighty Killer of thciUni- verse fbr the unnuihbefedmercM Fhich, He has oestowea upqn us. , ; Abundant harvests have been amone the rewards of industry. With local, exceptions health has been among the in any bl essincs enjoyed . Tranquility at J Jiome ana peace witnotner nations nave prevailed. Frugal industry is regain ing it3 merited recognition and its mei ited rewards. Gradually, but, under the providence of God, surely, as we trust, the nation is recovering from the lingering result of a dreadful civil sitrifc. , . .. 4 For these and all the other mercies vouchsafed, it; becprab?

There are somn Facts whicti ou?ht to be con fiidcred iu t!iw counectiou, beforemen Who wish to be honorable in politics as in anything else, take' Georgia for a, model. . Under the constitution of that State ho one is allowed to vote who has not paid taxes for the year previous to the timo of voting. At a"glance? it' can be seen how many avenues to., fraud this qualification opens. The" Voter is re quired to nhow 'his tax receipt. The average negro does not know a tax-rc-ccipt from any .other ntl h fjjerhaps may have brouglit the AngHwHe may offer the right one! to the Inspec-y tor, and while it is bei'g examined a da?h of the pen changes the date ; then it is good for nothifig. The date may purposely have been changed by the Democratic tax collector, to meet the election day wfthrtlalsthoocl 6if its face. Sometimes the taxes have not been paid, owing, to ignorance of when and where to pay. In fact it is difficult to enumerate every detail, of dishonesty which this constitutional provision per mits. jY i ) f ' j , When election day comes many Re publican voters are told by their Demo cratic employers that fhc wages for that particular day's work are doubled or trebled ; that the work must be done. Perhaps failing in this, the laborers arc told that if that iay ,is lost that their employer mut look fur steady hands who arc not alfri.v running etT to elec- tions, and thai must find i employer. 11 , resolute u j,. tells tin : , c they 4 i 1 ! .

It is talked to make the people of other Southern States acquainted with raf ractical "workings of this infernal machinery of, oppression, indeed, it w bt safely believed that it has to a ing the Late canyass and elections. Jit is nothing to say that those who are fradulentiy deprived of their Totes have their remedy under national legislation. The enrcement act is almost a nulli ty. Wifeaegro'in the rural districts, or whfman . either) has such a disre gard forjusjlifeas to invoke Federal Courts to sustain them in their rights ? Should such a course' be commenced, if all other inducements should fail to arrest it, the complainant would find himself beyond the help of any earthly tribunal. The. remedy is education. Education fostered, by. the general government, and not under the sole control of those very Individuals who are the active agents irr bringing about the state of things w&igh.education is intended to remedy.

Wc chink tae legislation was wrong, we do not ap prove of the action of the President in signing the bill, but it is not making thojnattcr better to call it a larceny, when it is not. Therefore, in the name of decent and courteous journalism, we protest against calling it the " back pay steal ajiy more. Jl novel feature of the election in New York city on Tuesday was that at each voting place was a box for con tributions for Memphis. A calculation that ten cents from each voter would aggregate ten thousand dollars, is made ; and high expectations were held that the amount would be much larger. However, we do not think that much was realized, as the voters who had money were probably placing it where it would do more good in their opin ion. EDITORIAL BUDGET.

Five out of nine of the leading business houses in Manchester, Iowa, are managed by ladies, and managed well, too.

To the friends of the Cape Fear Agrictd f turcU ' Soeicty : - : . . ) Your officers have labored dilligentir io make' the next Fair aj success, such as is irorthy the great city of WilmizK" ton and theC county sristainsit. They have perfected all the arrange ments and now alone need the hearty co-operation of those desiring a suc cess. They now appeal to the citizens of the city , to come forward and do their duty. ' We admit that the finah-' icial crisis has dampened the ardor of those from whom the Association ex-, pected aid. But we ask the question : Has it really injured any t There have been no failures we are all worse frightened than hurt. Then come for ward like men and do your duty. Offi cers can't do everything without the aid of those really interested. Those men who have the reputation of heir citjr at heart ; those men who will really derive pecuniary advantage from the annual collection of a vast concourse of people, each man leaving in the city from $10 to $100. Let those who reap the profit come forward like liberal men and contribute to its success. Deal fairly, and if benefitted do not under rate the advantage of the Fair to the city, in order that you may conceal from the world how much you may re ally profit by it. Let the croakers and the despondent, the over-ambitious and wilfully obstinate close their mouths for the time. Say a good word, and not be ever ready to complain of the management. Activity in managers is a very good thing, yet it requires a lit tle liberality on the part of the wealthy, influential, the business men running through all the various departments of city and commercial life. The corn minion merchant, the wholesale and ret. id merchant, the railroad man, the 1 - ..'! f"d saloon keeper, the butcher, V ; 'i. artist, the banker, in o . ry one interested in the 1 ' i i v should come forward .'i'oute but a pittance ' tcrpri.-e. And - ilk' news-' - -ater,ri-o. They have ever tccn liberal and public-spirited, and when they know and understand the difficulties of the management they will not be ready to blame. The State Fair was a success, but it was- at an ex penditure of $40,000. ' The management only asks that those most interested shall contribute to make up such, purses as may be within their means. It would ask of the Commis sion merchants to make Hp one, of the retail merchants one, of the rail road men one, of the turpentine buyers and distillers one, of the mijl men and tim ber buyers one, of the cotton factors one, of the butchers one, of the hotel keepers one, saloon keepers one, and thus encourage the best horses to be brought to the fair. These need not be large in any instance, yet the producer will in a measure judge of the liberality of each by its encouragement of that holiday sport to which the city has in vited the country. Our premium list will be liberally provided for. The country ; has giveu evidence that the approaching fair will be the largest and most successful that we have yet held. As Christmas ap broaches the holiday will be kept in that spirit in which neighbor should meet neighbor on an high and festive occasion. With a spirit of generous rivalry the farmer will meet the farmer and vie with him in exhibiting speci mens of those things which go to make up the wealth of the land. Here, too, fair hands will exhibit the work which will refine the rough nature of the be holder, wrhile it will adorn the Floral department of the annual exhibtion.. Here will the sturdy farmer exhibit his stock and while it is beheld and admired will his heart glow with pride as enco nium after enconium is bestowed upon his care, his thrift and his possession. All will be one grand, one gay, one fes tive scene, made up from the energy and wealth of the sons of toil and beautified by the hand of art. Fostered and en couraged by the hand of commerce and adorned and made lovely by the bright eyes, smiling faces and fair presence of lovely woman. Let no croaker endeavor to throw a damper upon the coming Fair. But, as friends, let all come forward and act their parts well and the Fair must be a success. j A. A.I3IcKoy, IWt,) 8. L.
