'It would be a good' time-- to hold au electiou now." remarked a salwart Denrbcrat in the Na tional Hotel lobby the other night to your correspondent, as North Carolina Repub licans filed past.

The portly form of Mr. Jenkins can lie, seen among the crowd. lie fights. 6hy of strangers since is late u a pleasant f experience. The other day a number of the Republicans iere decided to call ou the President in reference, to the subject of patronage in the State of North Carolina. . So a inect ing was arranged and the delegation met at tlie National Hote about 10 o'clock. There could be iseen as motley a crowd of Tar Heelers, as ever ' was seen on Penn sylvania Avenue. Headed by; Jim Har ris, the crowd Inarched up to the White tlonse ; it numbered about 30. Aniviug at the 6iicred prtalstlie crowd was ush ered in only to find that the hallways were niieu wuu pejopie who nau gone without their breakfast in order to be on handintinie I'drsoui'fe Jime the delegation waited only to see oter delegations and new arrivals nshered into the presence of the Chief Magistrate. About 3 o'clock, lowever, word was ii received that the President would grant an audience to the North Carolina delegation. By this time their number had considerably decreased, but those that had the patience to wait rwere re warned a nitecu minutes taiK with President Arthur. Jim Harris act ed as spokesman of the party. He asked, it is understood, that all questions rela ting to patronage be referred to the ex ecutive committee, of the Republican parly of the State; ' .Without giving the delegation to understand what ho would do tho President said he would consider the matter. It should be understood that the better class of Republicans here were not of the, delegation iu question, which was composed . principally of negroes.

MORE YET. ! Tlie same'eorrespoudeut under a later date, Jan. 15th, writes as follows:! While on thjs subject, some facts not kuowu at the time of last letter, in refcr- i ' euce to Col. Jul. Johnston's call on the President have come to light. He and Mr.; Price called in compauy with Ike Young and Henderson. This fact is regarded as importaut here, being au in dication, it is believed, of the wiug of the republican party with which theyj pro pose to act.1 It is regarded as certain that both have crossed the Rubicon! aud are trying to form a coalition with the opposition, that will give vitality to the party of independents they .propose to stand sponsors for. -What following they will receive, what influence they will exert, what- anxiety this movement will occasion, what calculations will be upset, are Questions too . far-reaching, too dis tant to determine.- Does the cloak that shrouds either of them coyer a Mahone f Add to the above' tho remarks of the WasuiugtonTZfrpufticaH of the IGtli, and there is left no room , to doubt that Mr. Prjcc, Mr. Johnson, of Charlotte, jutd a few others, have deliberately plauped a disruption of the. Democratic party o far as they are able to accomplish it. Neither of them are popular with the people, and will have to show abundant good cause for their desertion of democratic princi ples and the party, before they can; hope for a respectable following. The idea that they can burst- ub the Democratic party and win their way into Congress over its ruins, however pleasing it may bo to them, is ridiculous enough to make our sturdy people break out iuto a horse laugh loud enough to shake the capitol at Washington. iThe Washington Republican says - ; 'Developments here in tho past few days relating to .North Uaroliua politics and politicians have carried dismay into the ranks of the Bourbon Democrats iu Washington, and are the occasion of the congratulations aud rejoicings among the large number of Republicans and and Bourbon Democrats of the Old State now sojourning in this city. North PFhese developments relate to the fact of a most remarkable stampede just now in prog ress of proniiueut and life-long Democrats roni the Bourbons desertions that bode nanght but disaster and defeat to jthe 3fete Democracy of the State named.j g WITHI5T THE I'AST TUBES OBJOUK VKXo Elon. diaries jPrice, former speaker of the lower hocse of the Legislatureat Ral eight Col. Wmj Johnston, pandidate for Governor against Vance in both among the very ablest, most popular and influential Democrats of North Carolina, have avowed to Republicans here their decision most deliberately made, and fin- aand irrevocable, to sever forever their counection with Bourbon Democracy, and announce iu most emphatic . terms their purpose henceforth to co-operate heartily jvith the Republican party of their State, as Senators Mahone. Riddleberger. and thousands of other independent Demo crats mt Virgiuia liave been, and are flow doing, in that State. In ' Aj jstkrview wrrn tfik president on Friday last, both Col. ; Johnston and Mr. Price declared in most unmistakable language their decision aud purpose as indicated abowe. and predicted that a co alition of the Republicans and I u depend ent Democrats of North Corolina would be effected that would at the next election achieve a victory even more briliant and administer to Bourbon Democracy a more crushing defeat than was done in Virgin ia last November. Recent desertions from Bourbon Democracy in the Old North State are by no nfeans coufiued to the gentlemen named. Within a very brief period Col. Folk, Hon. Nat Atkinson, Mr, Lenoir, all Democrats of marked abilities and wide-spread influence, and a host of others, have announced the dissolution of the bands which have so long united them with Bourbonism, ay owed their adhesion now: and hereafter to I THE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRACY, and their leadiness for a uuion with the Republicans of their State for the over throw of the Bourbon party. Even the Hon. J. M. Leach, who headed the Hancock electoral ticket, and who is unsurpassed as an orator in the whole State, only the other day said to a prominent North Car olina Republican that he "intended to cast his vote for the next President of the United States," and added, siguificautly, "the next President wjll be a Republi can." Senator Ransom, it would seem, sees clearly the Miaud-writiug on the wall,' indicating the decay aud dissolution of Bourbonism in his State, as appears from a remark reported to have been made by that distinguished North Carolinian tho other day, namely : ' 'That at' the present rate of desertion from aud demoralization of the Democracy of my State the party will have clean gone to hades at the close of another six months.' " Mr. Ransom denies the above iu totum never said it to auy one.") Head Him! Head Him ! Judge Seymour passed through Greens boro last night at break-neck spead en ioutc for Washington. He arrived at Lexingtou Tuesday morning for the pur pose of holding the special term of David son Superior Court, but hearing of Judge Brooks' death, he immediately adjourned the court, packed his grip-suck aud start ed for Washington. As this pathetic par agraph is being peuued the Judge is reclining sottly in a Pullman palace car, and in his imagination he has donned the spotless robes of the 'lamented ' Brooks. u the meantime Davidson court stands adjourned until next Monday, and suitors, witnesses" aud other attendants can make the most ef it. Greensboro Patriot. - Otir facetious friend of the Patriot is a ittle hard on the Judge, but at tho first blush of the case not mere so, perhaps, than most persons would approve. Que of the most coutemptible' characters iu this world is the man who crowds around the doors of the President and Congress, craving, like a half starved dog, for crumbs that fall out from the official boards. But such was not the case with Judge Seymour. He was called to New York, as we learn, and not to Washing ton. And the idea ot giving him the of fice held by the lamented Brooks, origi nated not with him, but with- the Bar, who immediately ou the death of Judge Brooks got up petitions for the appoint ment of Mr. Seymour To the vacant place, and are responsible torn the apparent ea gerness of the Judgejif he has shown anjr. A negro boy (19 years old) in York county, S. C, climbed a tree in pursuit of some game which had run into a hoi- ow. Ho was found some days after, dead, with his left arm in the hole and his body lauging against the tree. It seems that the limb he relied on to support him while searching the hollow broke nnder his weight and let him down suddenly. His left arm was broken and shoulder dislocated.

The next year embracing the election, the expenses increased 63,551, and the receipts in creased $43,998. Dr. Mott is recognized as the shrewdest Republican wire-worker hi North Carol iua. His method, as well informed meu know, is to buy up Demo crats by giving them a small .office aud getting them to go out on the still hunt to work against the Democratic party. He has gradually increased his patronage until he has brought under his control several hundred such Democrats, aud he says they made- a change in his dis trict of near 7,000 votes. His patronage amounts to $269,324. Why should, the expenses last electiou year have been in creased $63,551, when the receipts were increased but $43,998 f If the Democratic party is to be preserved, it must fight agaiust the corruption which these facts iudicate. The announcement is made in the Washington papers, aud is telegraphed to the uewspapers, that the Democratic party in North Carolina is going, going, gone. "Colonel William Johnston, Maj.
