In the remaining thirteen counties the

Merriroon a nelt majority, of 1,723, leav
ing Caldwell a majority of 1,584. The
county of Graham is not included in this

The above extract is true to the letter, as
every intelligent observer will testify. j-The
counties In which the money was spent can be
pointed ut with precision; so also can the
whisky tor distillery counties, and those in
which men were intimidated by ellegal arrests
for alleged Ku Kluxing. ' ;j
We suppose no one will deny that hundreds
of voters in Wilkes County alone were manipu
lated, cajoled, intimidated, bribed, by Grant's
Marshall? and Revenue Cutters. Wilkes is a
"whisky county." The people make whisky
there as a sort of necessity. They convert their
surplus grain into whisky because it will not
pay) to haul the grain to market. Whisky is
their principal product for revenue. On it they
depjend for their sugar and coffee, salt and
clothing. Consequently, the whisky Jaws as en
forced and manipulated by Jladicalism have
been most oppressive and crnel upon these peo
ple. Many of them in their efforts to "keep soul
and body together" have come in conflict with
these unjust and oppressive laws; In such cases
arrests have generally beeo made by Grants
pets and the parties let off on pledging tliein
selves to vote the Radical ticket. In other
cases, it Is alleged that large numbers have been
permitted to rnn their distilleries and the 'block,1
regardless of the laws, with the understanding
that for such privilege they would vote the
Radical (tickets Such,-we understand were the
means n-ied tockrry Wilkes County for the Rads
on the first Thiirsday in this month ; and if so,
we hazard nothing in saying that the same po
licy was adopted in all the mountain counties
of this Congressional district. The whole pro
ceeding was a jmonstrous fraud on the people,
OiWe purity of the ballot, and a disgrace to the
United States, j Yea, tl;e"parties who inauturat
el or sanctioned these outrages are guilty of
crimes for which they can be seint to jthe pen
tentiary. They have violated the enforceipaent
law4f Congress, and are guilty of intimidating
and bribing voters. Ko Revenue officer1 has
any right to make compromises with persons
who violate the laws, for the consideration; of a
vote: Neither can he give any one the privilege
to set the law at defiance. When he does so, he be
comes at once a criminal, a perjured villain
and swindler of the government.
We understand that several cakes, stich as are
referred to above, can be established. We there
fore call jupon Conservatives everywhere to col
lect the evidence of these and every other
species of fraud that may come to their knowl
edge.
It is believed and asserted dn all hands by
citrzens of N. C, that Judge Merri
received a handsome majority of the
legal votes of the State. We think there is no
doubt of the fact. Then the question is, shal
we be cheated out of an honest victory by tame-
i , ... . . i . ! .
iy Buorajiung 10 groaa iraud and corruption
We say ho, and so will say every good Copser
vative in the land. We should collect the evi
dence add submit it to the Legislature and de-i
mand of that body a fair and patient exainina
tion of the facts. Then if Caldwell is elected

be installed. We shall nk nothing more and
agree tA nothing-less, WVcan not efiord to
submit tlo fraud without an honest and persist
ent effort to punish the perpetrators of it. The
purity of the ballot-box, indeed, of public morals,
the security of our liberties and free institutions
alike depend upon the freedom of our people
from ballnUbox-stuffing, bribery, and traud.
If we fail to crash these evils! now, vie need
never eipect to enjoy another pure and honest
election in North Carolina. 1 is therefore an
imperative duty that devolves upon every good
citizen in the State to see to it that th matter is
thoroughly investigated and that theiuiltv
gant, are sure to be thrashed into aiccogni
lion oi tne gouen rule. J lie world is a great
public school, and it 60on teaches a new
pupil his proper place. If he has the at-
iibntes that belcnpf to a leader, he will
be installed in the position of a leader; if
not, whatever hisown opinion of his own
abilities may be, he will be compelled to
tall in with tho rank and hie. It not des
ined to greatness, the next best thing;
to which he can aspire is respectability.
lint no man can either bo truly great
or respectable who is vain, jonipous or
overbearing.
By the time the novice Iras found his
egitimate social position, be the same
ugh or low, the probability is that the
disagreeable traits of his character will be
softened down or washed away. Most
ikely the proerss of abrasion will be
rough, perhaps very rough : but when it
tsj all over ard he begins to see himself
as others see him, and not reflect in the
mirror of self-conseit. he will be thankful
that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived,
tltpugli by a rough road, at self knowl
edge. Upon 4he whole, whatever loving

mothers may think to the contrary, it is a
good thing for' youths to be knocked
about iu the world it makes men of

If it appears that fraud, force and bri

Federal administration, its officers re

State electiou, all hope for the better day
that has been so loi.g coming, vanishes

THE AUTHOR OF THAT INFAMOUS
PARAGRAPH A GRANT MAN.
Mr. Conklincr, among the thousand un-
Iruths which he utters against Mr. Gree
ley, quotes the following as his language:
f'nhen the rebellious traitors are over
whelmed in the field, and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it must not
beito return to peaceful and contented
homes; they must find poverty at their
firesides and privation in the anxious eyes
of mothers and the rags of children !
;Auis ditlers from the rest in that it was
stated in these columns at least ten days
agp that Mr. j Greeley never wrote the
abpve, never prompted or approved it,
anjd never saw it till after it was printed.
vie may properly add the fact that the
man who did write it is now one of the
most earnest and prominent editorial sup
u U( uranr, upon ana uonklinir
in thisi city. N. Y Tribune.

other ofnet-rs on our State ticket to take
?uch eteps-as may be necessary to inftnu
the people of the State and of the United
State?, that the so called election of Cald
well will be contested.
Wcdo not regard this as an effort for mere
partizan advantage. We regard it as a
patriotic duty, the performance of which
is absolutely and imperatively necessary
for the preservation! of the purity and free
dom ot tuc ballot box. 1 tie question ie
one far above party advantage.
In the .Legislature wc have a tntur al
hat is both intelligent and horcst. The
character of the men who have been elec
ted to that body guarantees that their in
vestigation and verdict will be fair and
mpartial. By that verdict we are willing to
bide. Wc are not willing, however, to
accept as the verdict of the people o(
rsorih Carolina, without protest and with
out invest igat ;o i, an electiou so-called, t hat
carries with it plain ear marks of force,
fraud, intimidation and bribery.
We urge therefore upon our people
everywhere to hunt up and put upon re
cord the evidence in every case in which
rand, and force, and bribery, and intimi
dation have been resorted to for the pur
pose of influencing the late election, so
that when the question comes before the
Legislature we may bt ready with the
proof.
In addition to this, in order that indivi
duals may not escape their just punish
ment, let every guihy party be indicted
in the proper courts.
We owe this as a solemn duty to our
selves, to our prosterity, and to our State.
If we fail in u, never again will we see an
honest, fair .election in North Carolina.
