.- It 1s rhniored that Souther ji Democrats
In Congress have given tho Democrats of
the Northern section to understand that
they will demand a Southern man shall
be .placed on the President ticket. Itj
might be nfgetl with propriety, but we
- doubt thie truth of the rnnior.j The South-
t it peosde have made no such demand
i any of the primary meetings, and are
not expecting flieiV5 Congressional repre-j
eentatives to raise sttch an issue. South
rn Democrats desire a true Conservative
At the White" llouse and nothing more;
fTbetnn will comej
when "a Southern 'man will be called to

good- presidents, arid will do ho again. -;
The news of Garfield's- nomination was
'received here with evident dissatisfiiction
by theKepublicans whom we chnuce to see
?: oh ihe streets. It fairly took? the breath
ont of the darkies, who received it with
blank amazement. Some of them looked
a if they had lost their, best friend on
earth. Our Postmaster here evidently
.shared in the feeling of "all fa lost." He
went down in a chair as limp as a rag,
and seemed to 8ay well, they have play
ted t heboid harry scratch; j ' 1
- . Democrats were variously affected, bat
; gecerally the seutfrneut was that of satis
faction. They were glad to see third
1 ?termism laid on the shelfj and recognizing
' Grant as the head of Imperialism, if there
be such n "party in the land, - they were
i , glad that the conservatism of the Repnb.
" lican pa'rtjr w as strong enough to strangle
. it on the threshold.. . ; t': '
This was the prominent, intsant form
of public sentiment. It remains to be
seeu' what will be drawn out' on" the cori-j
tern plat ion of Garfield as the champiotf
of the party ' to be . beaten in i November.
Comparatively is without peisonal
force in : the public mind, and' thevote
cast for Mm wilt be more truly the embo
diment ofh'e Republican strength in the
country than it would have ben for Grant
or Sherman . ' !
. H5en.j Scales' -position, -as : we learn it
from his letters and telegrams, is that he
is not a caudidate for Governor vand will
discountenance any effort to nominate
him Rut if the Convention should de
clare that he" is thesman totfCar the Dem-
! cratic flag through this summer's caru
; paign, he will do it. ' -,
That is precisely tho attitude we like,
and very much wish that Jarvis and
Fowle occupied it also. That js the atti
tude most pleasing to the people,
who, ' ns a general thing, ! can't see
that any one has: superior claims np
on them. Those who hare served tliem
heretofore, .served for a reward which
. they received, and there should be an end
of obligation on either side. Neither the
man who reaps down a field to-day t not
v he who employs hfhi, everthink of any ob--Iriigation
resting on either after the work
.Tisdonqand jth.u. wages paid. U .; :
Ye advert to this subjectngaiu as wor-
thy of serious consideration in view
Vof'jihe', bickering we have! had over
jarvis and' Fowle. We acquit these gen
" tlemen in the main of auy mischief that
imay have originated through.! the indis
cretion of over-zealous irieuda. Rut if it
- She a fsict that the contest oyer them has
eahed th'point at which the friends of
" either would i'ave and kick at the defeat
' T bf his choice, then bring in the dark horse,
say we, be it Scalejr"br : any other worthy
citizen. The Republican National Con-
: yeution has just done, for Qrant, Sherman
and Blaine what our State Convention
may have to? do for Jarvis,; aud Fowle.
T There can. beW doubt of tlie' wisdom of
- this course, "the Raleigli Xetcs to the con
trary, notwithstanding. We would rath
ver fight 43ie" that are yet to bo invented
than tackle those which still show signs
of- life after a month's throttUug- in the
vigorous style of theA'efr. , : , ;
The: Lexington Exihangc in a sensible
article on the contest between the friends
of Jarvis and Fowle, says : . -

. . Mr. Garfield, has .been one of the bitterest
enemies to the South on recoid, never losing
an' opportunity to denounce us, or failing to
improve one to signalize his hatred. Inthe
course of a speech at Dajton, Ohio, last
October, he appealed to tlie memories of t he
"Hell of , Anderson ville," and said in con
elusions "I would clasp hands with those
who fought against us, make them my breth
ren and forgive the past, only on one su
preme condition : That it be admitted in
practice, acknowledged in theory .)
that the cause fort which they fought was,
and forever will be, the cause of reason and
wrong. Until this is acknowledged my
hand shall never grasp any liefers hand, acrossi
any chasm, however small."
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided that j a State 'may constitu

statute had beeu passed by the Legisla
ture of Tennessee, and in accordance with
it a tax of $15 was imposed on the- ageut
of the Howe Sewing , Machine Company,
which is a corrio ration of Connecticut,
and makesits machines in that State. The
company paid thelax under protest, aud
went to law: to test the constitutionality of
the statute. The Supreme Court of Ten
uessee held that tlie tax was levied on all
peddlers of sewiug machines alike, with
out regard to the ilace where the ma

"The good old times, a hundred years

ic virtues as they were , deficient' in sup
plying such comfort of home life as are
no w considered Indispensable. Iron stoves
had not been introduced, and the only

warmth in town or country were kindled
on open berths or in ovensTallbwcan

part of the lives of puf ancestors, of both
sexes was spent in the active performance
bf physical labors', necessary to make life
endurable, which never'give their descen
dants a serious thought."

Says, the New York Sun : , "If Grant tries
for the nomination at Chicago and fails to
get it, then that will be a great triumph i of
principle, ana we snau propauiy never near
any thing more alout a third terra ot the
Fresidency in our dav.;;,If tirant is nomina
ted at Chicago and defeated, at the polls,
then that will be a great: triumph of real
Republican principles. "; ' One of the two
things, we believe, will happen." So let all
patriots rejoice and be happy 1 ; ' -
I The Sun was a true prophet that time,)and
we rejoice with it on the triumph of Repub
lican principles.
. Col. Hatnes of the Statesville American
has constantly predicted that Grant would
not get the nomination, and is also entitled
to be , considered wise in the conclusions
drawn from the signs of the times in ad
vance.
The Rurke Blade says that Nath. Atkin
son, of Runcombe, will be an independent
candidate for Congress in the 8th District
We trust that this is a mistake. We like
Natt and do not wish to believe ill thimrs
of him. Let him study Maj. Robbin's course
in the ?th District two years ago who would
not be an independent candidate though
strongly urged to be, and knew perfectly
well that he could win the prize. Let Natt
wait awhile'and he may also be taken up
spontaneously when the proper time comes.
He is yet a young man, with brightening
prospects ; but an 'independent" race would
dim them at once; and believing he is wise
enough to see this, we must discredit the
report.

Then one of the delecrates stated thai.
his colleage was absent sick, and had au
thorized him to cast his vote for him, and
he asked whether he could do so. To this
