Raleigh News-Observer..
In the New York: Tribune we
find an alleged interview with Col:
'r r m. r - . .
j, m. JiicL-orKie, ot Salisbury. .V.
print it in order that Mi. McCorkle
may, if its. misrepresents his views,
make his correction, and if it .does
not misrepresent jtiira that the peo
ple may understated what opinion
;t his gentlemen entertains in. regard
to jNortii Uarolma attairs. We
havo net . heretofore regarded- Mr,
McCorkle as one of those extreme
men who are incapable of taking a
correct view ot public matters, aud
.are very much surprised at some
cf. the statements contained in the
interview. .For instance, he savs
" that the tisenq .ballot,, oygem has
been introduced into ctir elections
in the dense negro counties, and
that at a signal the lights in the
room where the ballots are being
counted ate put out and a fraudu
lent ballot box substituted for the
tr.ue .one, aud that fraudulent votes
are-tiito counted.". !.. ..., .v.
These are grave allegations. We
challenge Mr. McCorkle to state
a time and place and witnesses.
If he cannot do that we invite him
to state where he 6iispects that any
such foul play has been practiced
in North Carolina. We invite him to
make, his statement in the columns
of this, paper or to correct his alleg
ed intervieviV.i..tlie columns of the
Tribune. W e are not aware of any
case at any time when tissno ballots
were ever used in North Carolina.
Is Mr. McCorkle i Wo invite his
reply. . We are,. not ayfarof any
ease where t!c jpomocrats, have
ever played hide and sesk .wijh.a
ballot box m Isorth Carolina, such
as he describes. Is Mr. McCor.vlo ?
We invite his replv. We know
that there have been trivial irregu
larities at all elections, but we also
know-.that i.gencrally our North
Carolina elections are fairly con
ducted, and we do nut believe lhat
airy case3.snch as Mr. McCorkle is
alleged to bave described have ever
occurred since the year 180S, What
the Radicals did in 18G7-'6S we do
not mention. Mi:MeCorkle how
ever, says ' that this ctate of tlii.r;gs
is chronic. We tear he was dream
ing. Again, says Mr. McCorkle,
in referenee to the appointment of
magistrates by the Legislature. It
isdone.for the purpose of giving
the sefcessioniefs an advantage in
litigation over the negroes. Should
a quarrel arise between a Union
man a secession, the advantag is
with the hitter, who, perhaps in
duced the Legislature. to appoint
the, Justice." We can hcxrdly. be
lievq.that Mr. : McCorkle cordd have
uttered such statements. Is it true
th&t the reason for appointing mag
istrates., by lhe Legislature is to
give secessionists an advantage. over
Unionists and negroes i . Who, be
fore this.reniarkab'e interview, ever
heardTof 6r.ch a suggestion? In
the fk'st place while it is easy to
find the negroes, and while we
know that generally every white
man in the State is .a Union man,
who can ,nud ,a sirg.lc secessionist
within the limits of .North Carolina?
There, are no secessionists that Mr.
McCorkle. can point out in this
State. But it he means to desig
nate " democrats" when he uses
the word " f-ecessionists," he an-,
swers himself, for the people of the
North, as well as of North Caro!i-
