Wb publisJied a few days ago a copy of a letter which had been furnished u. written by one (Jalvin Cox, a Radical of Pitt county, to Marshal S. T. Carrow, giving the naifies of certain persons whom Cox charged with being disorderly, ask ing that warrants be issued for thejr arrest, and requesting that the Marshal send fifty additional blank warrants, as there were several other individuals in Pitt who were not named, but iipoiywljom Cox was anxi ous to vig)t4iifl direful vengeance. x We do not know whether the blank warrants were issued or not, but presume they were, as over thirty highly'respecta ble and honorable citizens of that county were subsequently arrested, and taken to Goldsboro, where they had a hearing be fore IJuued States Commissioner Robin son. Upon examination, they were all unconditionally released, no evidence whatever being adduced against them, to show any violation of the laws of the United States, aar charged by Cox.

THE UNITED states;; Thefollowng Address to the people of the United States has been issued bv the Nationkl Democratic Committe ; ThelOctober electidns are over. They enablejus to form a tolerably accurate idea ot the rne political situation of the coun try; I V 1 Ih Georgia we have to recount a victory for the Liberal ticket -elo unexampled as to iaKe ner out ot tiie list ot doubtful States, and pijiaeticajlly to pronounce in advance the delisionjof at leak 125 votes in the Elect- oral College. To this number tt is only necessary to add sixty votes to elect Greeleju and Broicn. In Pennsylvania, the distinguished Chainjpan of the Liberal Committee has eloqne tly characterized the methods bv wuicii the result of the election there was accomplished We commend his state- meut to the thoughtful attention of the country. I In jPhio,1 despite most unprecedented gains ov the Liberal Democratic ticket the G jant managers have carried the elec tion by a Reduced majority, having brought to thejpolls their entire reserved vote. Had uf Democratic friends iu certain loealitbs of that great commonwealth showir the same earnestness and activity, and enabled us like our enemies to recoid our entire strength they would now be exulting over a brilliant victory. In In diana illie Democratic and Liberal forces have achieved a most important success over Pennsylvania tactics most unscrupu lously; employed by the Administration and its allies, showing thus that a free peop4 when aroused know their rights and dare maintain them. Indiana has fairly jdemonsrrated that she can neither be "bought nor bulli.-d." The moral of these fesults is that victory isslill in plain view for our national ticket, and that energy and courage will assure it. The vie lory must be won. If we mean to preserve free institution on this continent .we raf st assure it. The event in Pennsylvania onTuesday last, hen considered in its canses, is the most appaling political catastrophe that has ever taken place itijhis country.

WHAT HAVE WE TO EXCEPT t If any people have cause for earnest, unceasing work during the next three weeks it is the people of North Carolina. It ;8 posible, nay, it is even probable, that the result of the Presidential ; campaign will tarn upon the vote of this State. It is not only possible, we say, but it is pro bable, that the vote, of Nrh Carolina will determine whether Horace Greeley or Ulysses Grant shall be the next Presi dent of the United States. vVhat have we to expect from the elec tion of General Grant I 1 For near four- years Presidtut Grant haa administered the Government of the United Statea with a systematic coutemp tuons disregard of the laws of the country. Almost his very first act was to disregard a law that had beeu upon the tatute Book from the foundation of the Government almost. Ashe began, so has he contin ued. Under his rule fraud, corruption and violence have become the almost insepara ble incidents of the administration of jus-' tice, so called. Arbitrary, military law has become a thing of common occurrence, Blank warrants, in palpable, express vio lation of the Constitution, are constantly issucdand executed, to the great oppres sion of the citizen,. These acts are of constant occurrence. President Grant neither knows nor cares how grossly he violates the law of the land. An avowed candidate for re-election, he cornea before the people and asks their, suffrage under a Constitution that he daily violates. There is no need to go back to the unset tled times that followed the surrender at Appomattox Court House for proof of our s-.atesments. There is no need to go back more than thirty days to make up a record sufficient to subject Grant and his Administration to the odium of all good meu for ages to come. Let us recall a few Ucts that have come to our knowledge within the last thirty days for which the Administration of President Grant is directly responsible. InCleaveland county, in this State, one of Grant's United States Deputy Marshals, with a file of United States soldiers broke up a meeting of the King's Mountain Baptist Association, dispersed the people, and arrested womeu and children at the point of the bayonet. I fl (iantA ill romi t V f h nn t ruin. a K v Iw.rl.fol ' ,.; .. I l r . i . i 'imriB uaic utru ui on gnips a cnaracier ( thai David A. Jenkins, the Radical Treas- : urer of the Sia , has publicly profercd himself as wiluess to testify against ihem. In Pitt county fifry of the best citizens were arrested and carried to Goldsboro' upon charges that were officially declared to be frivolous and and contemptible. In Savannah, Georgia, on the day of election, fifty or sixty Deputy United otates Marshals were secretly appointed, and their pockets filled with blank war rants, whereby they might arrest whom soever they uiiht wish. In Atlanta Georgia, a Federal officer marched into a Court room with a file of soldiers and thcie remained while the Court was in session ! What a record tor less than thirty days ! All these violations of law have one object, and oue ouly in view, and that is to overawe and intimidate the people so that they may be prevented from expres sing their hostility and hatred to Geueial Grant and his administration. When such acts as these committed in the broad light of day, without any pre tence of concealment or denial, is it strange that in the night time the peaceful inhabi tants of a sleeping city should be awak ened by terrible explosions, and leant that another actof lawlessness has been commilt ed ; that under cover of darkness an effort had been made to accomplish in another way what neither imprisonment nor at tempts at assassination bad been able to do the destruction of the freedom of the press in North Carolina 1 Tha. the attempts to assassinate Mr. I uruer, the attempts to assassinate his wife, and the destruction of the Sentinel I P"UUI printing omce were the estimate fruits of tlio lea. ln..g and practice of the State and lederal administration during the last four years, we honestly believe, lloldeu, Caldwell and Grant are respon sible for the existence of a stale of socie ty and of government, that permits such crimes as this and thousands of others equally heinous, to be committed with im punity. A continuance of this state of things is all we have a right to expect if President Grant be re-elected. Under tin presiden cy of Mr. Greeley we have a riht to tx pr Ct, and will doubtless eij.iy, the bless ing of an honest, constitutional Govern inent. Remember that the vote of North Car olina may decide the qui i:in. Let no man, ilieu, fail iu his duty. KEEP COOL AND BE MEN. The election riot in inciunati last week ; the negro mob and murder at Ma C n ; the accidental killing of two children by the falling of a platform at the. Grant meeting, aud ihe probable death of n. third, at W illiWusburjjh ; the trmb spirit in Arkansas; the amst of ihe Postmaster at Bethlehem for the issue of fraudulent naturaiizaiion papers ; the colonization of blacks in Indiana and Pennsylvania, and the fraudulent registry in Philadelphia -are among the sad facts ot the present canvass, aud no Government cau prosper while they continue. Against the mob spirit of the day, white or black, every citizen, whether for Grant or Greeley, ought to set his face as u flint. So against all sorts of lawlessness aud personal dis honor. Truth, justice, honor, decency, aud good neighborhood are not to be sacrificed to candidates, parties, or one's passions. One's good name and conn try should direct all who lead, and all who follow. Heaven knows the country has suffered quite enough from civil war and violence daring the past ten years. N.J5T. Express.? . - ' ' I 1 utu IJfKKAL GAINS IN 0110. THE STATE CLAIMED FOR GREELEr. I : . v The ' Democratic State ' Committee of Ohiohavi issued an address to the Dem ocracy of pat Suite in which the follow it,g passages occur : . m-, "The result of last Tuesday's election shows that Ohio lost by the failure to poll the usual Democratic rote. Mortifying as is the fact, justice to the Liberal Re publicans (and an earnest desire to retrieve the misfortune require ns to unite in our chief towrjs.

Four fi'ths of the Democrats who stayed at home last Tuesday can be induced to voto for Greeley in Novomber. These who absolutely refuse to go to the polls will be counterbalanced in numbers by those Republicans who went against us last Tuesday, but will vote for Greeley. We have only to poll onr usual Democratic vote to snatch from defeat a glorious vie tory. Liberals stretch forth the hand ; shall e refuse to take it V Democratics, your union with the Lib erals in Ohio has not been fruitless! It has given Hamilton county by near G.000 majority, which secureTcoiibtitutioual con vention and the Legislature and a United Mates Senator. Should both Ohio and and Pennsylvania go for Giant the chan ces are still in favor of Greelev's electiou If Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Indiana are added to those border and Southern States which are certain for Greeley, tlii will give him a clear ma jority. We have already, by a glorious and aggressive fight, forced the Grant party to its knees, and can conquer it iu Noverber. Fellow Domocrats work till November, heartily and hopefully. The Liberals will take care of themselves. Iet the Di-morrats county committees get lists of those Democratis in the cities and in the townships who failed to vote last 1 uesday, and direct thier efforts to them. "m out ibid van-guard vote, and the fight is won in Ohio and the Grant Re publicans beaten. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. The following is the conclusion of Col. A. K. McClure's linging address to the people of Pennsylvania, after the election iu that State. We commend his stirring speech lo those of our friends who may be disposed tc relinquish the great struggle against corruption, because the first skirmishes on the lines have not been completely suc cesslul : "Friends of good government let no triumph of lawlessness deter you from giving your best energies to the cause. The highest prerogative of a free people has been violently usurped by insolent and debauched power, and the people must resent it, and resent it promptly, or give nnqueslionajble license to wrong. Now, more than ever iu this contest, is the election of Horace Greeley to the Presidency a supreme necessity, if peace and honest government are not to perish from the annals of onr history. Right mnst triumph sooner or later, and it will yet triumph in this desperate struggle if the people shall prove faithful to them selves, to their laws, and to their country." Neves say Die The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution speaks these brave words: Iet the craven-hearted yield who wish. Let the weak-spirited fall in hope and relax effort why desire. For us, we 6taud to our colors unswerving and undiscour Se? m)re ban ever convinced of the i..u . mui ur, auu iuiprrra nn the necessity of opposing and striving to overthrow the det-potism that is clutching the land in its grasp, and throttling con stitutional liberty. We have gut another chance at the desp.its in November. Let us at ihem like .tigers.' A biave heart never yet yielded with a good chance and an open field.; We are in this fijrht to the end rith out whole soul. We will not surrender w hile therei is an opportunity to strike a blow, and if defeated we will fall fighting, defi anee iw our mouths, and implacable oppo sition in (Mil Ileal ts.

NO. mDD h?. V52ytt 8J?W LO LD TO j Barclay, the young man who was hang ed at Colambua, Ohio, on Friday last for a moat brutial murder, consented that the atudents of a' medical college iu that city could have his body for experimental pur poses, and ten, minutes after it was cut down it was placed in a wagon and driven rapidly to the college, where a powerful battery had been placed io position for the purpose of trying the'efiVct of electricity as a medium to restore' life. . At tweoty four minutes past one o'clock tix students carried the body into the anatomical lee turing room of ..the college, where were, assembled the students, and all the promi nent medical gentlemen of the city," It was then taken from the coffin and-placed upon the operating table. Tin pipit of the eyes were found to be dilated and the face discolored. The body was stripped of its clothing, and at thirteen roinnlra to one o'clock, thiity seven minutes after death, the strudi-uU began operations. The electrical instrument used was one of the most powerful known, consisting of six cups of liunsen's battery to Rirch'a induction coil of the largest size. It was operated by Professor M. ndeba.ll, an emi nent electrician, while Professor Wormly and Professor lioldermanand Dcnig con ducted the experiment."" Two currents of electricity were used one placed at the lower extremity of the body, and the other drawn along the arm, neck face, breast. The effect was won derful : the eyea opened, the face drew up aa if in pain, the mouth jeikcd to one side the arm raised as if to strike, and the firt clenched. The limbs alio raised, and the toes and fingers worked, and once the body almost turned to one side, The arms were next laid bare and a current of electricity introduced. The whole sya tern seemed to respond, and the movements of the body were at timet violeuL At four minutes to 2 o'clock the electricity was removed, and faint actions of the mus cle could even then be obscived. The body was afterwards left till ten minutes after 3 o'clock, when electricity was again applied and the muscles of the body still responed as before, but with lesa force. The breast was then opened and a current parsed into the heart, but it gave no re sponse. It was carried lo the hands and feet, and all responded as before. The heart was theu taken, and found bard as muscle and -full of blood, the lungs not congested, the brain very healthy free from any congestion whatever. At 11 minutes after 4 o'clock electricity was again applied, and a good response was had ; at 18 minutes after 5 a faint resnoi se was given, and at 15 minutes to G, 5 hour aud 35 minutes after death, the strongest current that could be applied, failed to move a muscle. The experiment exhibi tion was then brought to a close, the crowd dispersed, and the mutilated body of John Barclay, was replaced in its cof fin, delivered to the coroner, and givcu its final burial. SWEDEN AND NORWAY. By the recent death of Charles XV., King ol Sweden, his brother Oicar was elevated to the throne. The new King earn ed the reputation ot an intelligent, virtuous Prince, when off ihe imperial seat, and will doubtless leave the purple robe of supreme command spotless lo his succes sor. King Orcar rules over two nations. His sceptre stretches over two kingdoms. He is the head of Sweden and Norway, which are united under a hereditary and constitutional monarchy. The succession to the throne is united to male line of the family. Females are positively prohibi ted fiom meddling with government affairs in this part of Europe. The ruler of Swedeu and Norway cannot exercise his choice as to the matter of religious belief. That is fixed and determined by law, aa it is in Englaud, -and other European countries. The King of Norway must be a Lutheran ; that is indispensable as loyalty to the occupant of ihe throne. In the interpretation and administration of the laws, ihe King is atsiated by a royal council of ten eminent citizens. This council embraces three privy councillors, and the ministers of justice, war, marine, finance, religion, foreign aud internal af- lairs. Ihe diet, or parliament, is com- posed of four chambers, representing four estates the nobles, clergy burghers and peasant, each of which haa its own hall of assembly, and conducts, its delibera tions without regard to the others. Tbe regular sessions of the diet occur in three years, but it may be called together often er if necessary. 1 he sessions extend ov er a period of three or four months. The king has the power of absolute vote of all legislative acts, but this counter-balanced by the right of each chamber to appoint boards of control and supervision, the da ties of which are to keep n careful eye upon the proceedings of the Supreme Courta of justice, regulate the national banks, the liberty of the press, the public debt, the public treasury and in abort nearly evety Department of domestic gov ernment. Owing to the incovenience of this system in some respects, several im portant cbangea were made in 18GG, and several important charges were ade in 1SG6, and this Diet now more nearly re seruble ibe British Parliament of Lords and Commons.
