The President and members of the

the State Fair and secured some of the

The Shooting Match, for a fine-breech-loading,

For Friday a magnificent Tourna

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
states that there is much dissatisfac
tion among the whites of that city, be
cause of the resolution to force mixeil
scle ols upon the people. Some
gentlemen of the Caucasian rare
have threatened in that event to
withdraw their children.
XII II STATE FA I It.
Oni readers have been thoroughly
a.lvised, by telegrams to the Journal,
and by copious extracts from the local
papers, of the interesting featnres and
grand Miceess of the late great Fair at
Kalcigh.
It is not our purpose, as it will be
impossible, to give in detail a descrip
tion ef the Fair. Nor is it necessary.
As an industrial exhibition it is with
out parallel in the State. In the ex
pense and completeness of its prepara
tion, in the quality and quantity of ar
ticles exhibited, in the number of visi
tors, in the general arrangements of
t he buildings and grounds, in the or
der and quiet which everywhere re
vailed, the late State Fair was all that
its friends could have desired. The
fforts of its managers were rewarded
by a success as creditable to them as
the exhibition was worthy of North
Carolina. For once, at least, the old
State aroused herself, and made hon
orable exhibition of some of the re
sources of her vast store-house. The
great riches with which Nature has
blessed her, anil the creations of the
geiius and industry of her sons and
daughters were gathered together in
generous rivalry, furnishing a more
substantial evidence of the resources,
energy and genius of the State, than
on any similar occasion within our
knowledge.
While the absence of Mr. Voorhees,
the great Western orator and states
man, may have been a disappointment
to some who wished to hear that tlis
tiuguislied gentleman, there certainly
could have been no disappointment to
those who desired to listen to an elo
quent and able speech. When it was
ancertaineel, late Thursday night, that
Mr. Voorhees could not possibly be
present, Hon. M. W. ltansoni was ap
pealed to by the President and Execu
tive Committee to supply the vacancy.
The shortness of the notice, the great
expectation of the people, the fame of
the announced orator, were sufficient
reasons to refuse, but this distin
guished son of North Carolina has at
all times and in every field shown him
self worthy of the consiileratiou and
honors which have been bestowed
upon him. His sjieech was a masterly
and eloquent effort, reflecting credit
upon the speaker, and worthy of the
great occasion. General Ransom de
serves the thanks of the people of the
State not more for his magnificent
address than fejr his willingness to
serve tht'in under such tryiug and dis
advantageous circumstances.
ft would give us pleasure to speak
in detail of those whose tlumghts and
etl'.ii tu have contributed tt bring about
this great success, and whose manage
ment has given such manifest satisfac
tion. We will say, however, that to
the President, Colonel T. M. Holt and
the Secretary, Captain It. T. Fulghum,
the Society is greatly indebted for its
success. No men ever labored more
faithlully or more unselfishly, and we
congratulate them on the splendid suc
cess which lias rewarded their labors.
Dr. W. J. Hawkins, President, and
Captain A. B. Andrews, Superinten
dent of the Italeigh Ar Gaston and
Baleigh & Augusta Air Line Railroads,
by an intelligent and patriotic liberal
ity to the Society, did much to insure
the completion of the buildings and
grounds, and to establish the success
of the exhibition. Several members
of the Executive Committee, notably
Colonel Heck, Dr. Blacknall, General
Hoke and Ceilonel Young, were active,
liberal and effective in their labors.
We trust that those who may have
charge of the destinies of the Society
in the coming year will render as gooel
an account of their stewarelship.
The Salisbury Watchman qnaliifies
its recent declaration of independence
of party lines, and says:
,,Otir independence amounts to jnst
this-. We are for purging the Demo
cratic party, or the party that oposes
Radicalism, of all the faithless and
corrupt leaders it may have held."
To this extent the JouexaIi goes
heartily with the Watchman. We are
ready at any and all times to purge
the party of faithless and corrupt
leaders, and we decidedly prefer that
course to au abandonment of our party
and its principles. We decidedly
prefer to drive out faithless and cor
ript leaders rather than ; to ' permit
thera to drive us out.

, Ae regret to sec, to be
in Ohio seems
.a chrome
source of trouble to
ur
neighbor, the Mnrninrj Star.
J on the 9th of August, just after the
, nomination of William Aixf.v, a
j straightout Democrat, and bv the nd-
viceof Senat. rTiinnn;;, on a stia'ght
out platform, our neighbor said:
lhe Democrats ot Ohio won hi fo
straightway and commit the stupidest
of blunders nominate a square Demo
cratic State Titrket. They had a lirst
rate opportunity to win but delibe
rately threw it away. It would have
been so much more sensible to unite with
the Allen couuty departurists and the
Liberals. Taking the advice of Sena
tor Thurman may lose the election
and cause him to lose his place in the
Senate. Groesbeck, however, a better
man, may be chosen by an anti-Administration
coalition to fill it. If so,
we shall not be sorry."
A few days later it said:
"The infatuation of Thurman and
Co. is perfectly apparent to live poli
ticians and people who have kepi
abreast of events in Ohio and else
where." On the -1th of October it said lo its
readers :
"So, by a stupidity almost iin; sam
pled will the Democrats of Ohio throw
away the finest chance they have hal
since the war. ljfad they nominated a
ticket composed of all the Conserva
tive elements ami put themselves on
advanced ground instead of roiin in
thft Cataembfl iend-bni ders for
a candidate, thiiit:
-'would b
different.
In spite of all these predictions by
our neighbor, and like ones by others
who had " kept abreast of events in
Ohio and elsewhere;" in spite of their
" stupidest of blunders," and iu spite
of their " stupidity almost unex
ampled," the Democrats of Ohio
actually did elect a straightout
Democrat upon a straightont Demo
cratic platform.
Even then our neighbor was not
satisfied. On the Sunday af.er the
recent elections it told its readers that
tne " results were hopeful auguries
for our political future if the good
success in Ohio does not turn the
heads of onr polticians." And in the
same article it accounted for the great
victory by saying:
"When no great exertion is made by
the Federal Government, the Demo
crats are apt. to carry the election. And
when the Legislatures have been lie
publican, they have been so by very
small majorities. With the hundred
hands of the Washington Titan oil",
and marshalled by such able leaders
as Thurman, Pendleton and others,
Ohio has shewn herself a Democratic
State."
On ye-sterday our neighbor once
more eliscusses tiie matter and con
cludes a seemingly carefully considered
article with the following declaration :
" And so it is everywhere, liadical
Republicanism wanes and goes to its
death. But there is no resurrection
mom for its mighty adversary of the
past. The great traditional parry that
for ninety years has been called the
old guard of the Constitution, has seen
its last great victoiy, and must grace
fully wrap the mantleof itseouehal
it and and lie down to die. The 1

A meeting of Alston Grr.nge No. "d
was held in Decatur, DeKalb county,
ou Monday, at which the low price to
which cotton hail eleclined at Atlanta,
and the expediency ejf shipping cotton
direct to Liverpool by the planters
were the chief topics of discussion.
A correspondent of the Atlanta I ft raid
says :
The following paper was circulatcel
among the farmer for their signature,
and signed by eve y one to whom it
was shown :
Whereas, Cotton is selling in Atlanta
at loi cents ; and whereas, the same
cotton is worth in Liverpool 9 to 9jd.
in gedd, equal to 19(?v)19;;c. currency;
and whereas, a bale of ceitton can be
shipped via Port 1103 a! or Charleston
and sold in Liverpool for less than
Slf per bale, it is clear the farmer is
losing S1G to 20 on every bale sold in
Atlanta. Be it therefore agreed among
us, whose names are hereto signeel,
that we will ship our entire crop to
Liverpool via Charleston or Port
Royal, sending our own supercargo,
who will sell it to the ninnnf let nier,
and ae-couut directly to us for the pro
ceeds. More than two huudred bales were
subscribed before sundown. The
matter has been placed in the hands of
Mr. Joseph Reese, Master of Alston
Grange, Edwarel Cox and others,
among the most enterprising and ac
tive citizens of the county, and it is
confklently expected that t wo thousand
bales will be reaely for shipment by
the 1st of November.
Let every farmer iu the county of
DeKalb, or any of the adjoining coun
ties, who elesires to make the venture,
apply at once to Joseph Reese, Master
of Alston Grange, No. ;k"5, Decatur,
Georgia, and he will give the desired
information as to when the vessel will
Ik? reaely to sail from Port Royal.
Commenting on this' movement the
Atlanta J ft raid says :
We fear onr sanguine temperament
may overstep the bounds of moderation
in the value we attach to the movement
first inaugurated by the farmers in old
DeKalb. But let our readers stick a
pin right Mere and remember what we
say. The day that this first shipment
of cotton is made to th-3 European mar
ket by, and in behalf of the men who
produced it, and the venture proves a
success, it will lead to the most com
plete radical and startling revolution
that was ever witnesseel in this coun
try. It will place Liverpool at our
very doors ; it will make gold the cur
rency of Georgia and the cotton States:
it willsave the Seventy millions of bloe d
money sweatee! every year out of the
toiling men of the South by middle
men. and most of them in New York ;
it will, in two winters, build np a vast
shipping centre at Port Royal, and so

"While we hail with onr best wishes i
any movement towards the opening of I
direct trade with Europe, and the en- !
frauchisement of Southern commerce
and agrieullure, v. e confess tiiiit we are
not so sanguine as our Atlanta cotcm-
porai y in the Heiie! tuat the mo.le pro-
pose.i by tile farmers of DeKalb is the
bes (..r flu. iieefsfii' .leeom-
plishmcnt of the end desired.
If Southern agriculture' and com
merce are to be emancipated, it. must
be by the liiii' --I action and co-operation
of o!iv phmt-rs ami merchants.
Both i.ur a'rricu''tura! and commercial
systems have lir-f n bad. Neither our
planters nor our merchants, have
grown v'e! . while the weal-h ff the
c uutr has been eo-uvntrated at the
North. lint v. e have no reason for be
lieving that the planters would be
more- successful a- merchants than
thev have teen as cultivators of the
soil, or that they can conduct the com- j
mercc of our section better than the j
merchants themselves. In the past I
1 ,
tne merchants nave been the f riein s
and helpers of the planters, without
wh
ciufidenee and credit the
latter
would have found it ddlic.ilt to restore
their ravaged and desolated plant-. tioiis
to cultivation, and it is to tin- joint en
ergy and enterprise of both that so
much has been accomplished for the
restoration not only of our own section
but of the country at large.
Under the old regimes a system ef
fi'innee and commerce had been estab
lished which made our section tribu
tary to the great Inuincial centres of
the North. If this system, so king
fostered by Federal legislation, made
the agricultural South dependent upon
the commercial a id. manufacturing
North, in the days of our comparative
prosperity, it rendered our position
ti ui'oM more helpless in the days of
our adversity. In order to command I

those rears of struggle amid the wreck
arid ruin of the war, with disorganizeel
labor, invidious and burthensome
taxation, oppressive government, out
rage? and p'nnd. r, as a people we iind
abundant ca'P-f for congratuhitie.n and
pride. A few year-- have wrought such
ree-uperatioii as no ether people under
the: same circumstances can boast.
The e'vil that Las fallen upon the coun-
try, the re-:
nit of unwise, corrupt and
piol'igate government, finds us sub
stantially on a better foundation, more
se cure from threatened elisasters than
our plund.-rers. The; North, now count
ing on the export resource of the
South as the means of financial rescue,
recogm'r.e's this fact. Our embarrass
ment, is only the re coil of their e'a-l-imiiy.
The South is stronger to-day,
more independent and se-lf-n liant. than
she has been since the war, and all
that is needed to bring about eiur com
jilete enfrane-hisement, te achieve the
commercial iudepemlone-e so essential
to our preisperity, is patience, contin-ue-el
harmonious cei-operatiem, energy
anel enlighteiieel enterprise.
Then let. commerce' and agricultures
slid go band in hand, each in its legiti
mate sphere, anting in Lhe develop
ment of our section, so bountiful in all
the elements of material wealth, and
the day is neit far distant when cotton,

The Si-ii nlijlc American elescribes
the new weioel carpeting that is coming
into extensive use, as follows : "The
fabric is made of slats or more orna
mental shapes, glueel eir cemented upon
a cloth backing. The slats or strips of
weiod are of different colors, ami are
arrangeel to produce all the effects of
tesselateel lleior, mosaic work, etc., and
being about a quarter of an inch in
thickness, they will wear many years.
They are finished in oil, anel fit together
so taghtly that the joints are as perfect
as those in inlaid work. The surface
thus protluceel can therefore be scrub
bed, washeel and oileel when needed,
precisely like other floors made of or
namental woods, which floors they re
semble in all respects when laiel.
The rise of rent in Scottish highlanel
properties during the last thirty years
is saiel to be marvellous, the highlanels
of Scotland having become, to a select
class of wealthy Englishmen, what
Switzerland is to Englishmen gene
rally a playground.
Some scamp at Fort Wayne mailetl
letters to a score of business men
telling them to look out for a man
who would visit their houses that
evening to see their wives, and twenty
business men surprised their wives by
coming home two hours ahead of time.

A new manner of catching rats is ex
riting great interest among the return
ing householders in Madison-ave'ir.te.
A barred is tilled half full of water. A
layer ef powde-red cork is laid on its
surface, and over this a layer of com
meal is sifted. A chair and a box or
two are plae -el un jhfrusively iii the
neighborhood, whereby the rat gains
the -elge; ef the barrel. He se-es
nothing but the meal. Ho has no in
nate ideas to teach him to beware eif
the treacherous folm.latiou em which
that tempting surface rests. He sniffs,
ha leaps, and goe-s gently down
through metal' ami cork to his watery
giiive:. If any of Ids friends see: him
elisappe-ar irem tne e elge il tho barrel ;
the y haste after him tt get their share
of the probable plunder, and are iu
turn taken in by the hospitab'o ele.ith.
The plan seems effective as against the
rats, but is calculated to destroy their
confidence in human nature. Attc
