IT IS WISB TO RESIEnBER. ( Oar readers 'are not ignorant of what Grantism was in the past. They know much of the evil that wa? wrought, muoh of the injury that was inflicted upon the country, and, espe cially, upon the South. But all i$ not knojyn : there are other rascali ties and corruptions'; not yet uncov4 ered.' Gradually the veil is being; torn away, and more and more 6 the hideous form of Radicalism is ex posed to the public view. It is importarrtrthat the people of this country should be reminded from1 time to time that the price of their liberties is eternal. vigilance; that the conduct of their- public . servants should be severely scrutinized ; thatj the offices of the country were not created for this rD3D or that in eu! that corruption, fraud, infidelity to honor and duty and public trusts j ' nierit-the censure and reprobation of all honorable 'and patriotic citizens that crimes against public decency and - the welfare i and. glory of the country should' never be s con-; doned; that parties that have had fair trial and been found wanting should be "set 'aside; thatj principles are everlasting, imperishable the; same yesterday, to-day and forever; that exploded and- unwise policies' should not be clung to because ven erable with age; that all public men -who had proved . by their conduct that they were untrustworthy, ineffi cient or dishonorable,; should be; henceforth regarded with suspicion, and should be repudiated in conven tions and at the polls; and, finally, that every citizen should strive in his sphere to advance the common inter ests of tbe whole country, to develop the resources of his immediate sec tion, and to be governed in his politi cal course by motives of patriotism, and by a high and unfaltering con scientiousness. V ;::-V In our next we will give our read ers an illustration of Grantism in its highest -and best estate. We will re cur to the days of Babcock, when the President of the United States " used his high office to protect, to save from punishment, a guilty, depraved, and corrupt servant,' and when per jury was suborned that Grant's spe cial friend and confidential Secretary might escape that punishment due himfor crimes against his country. It will do good to.turn back to those corrupt timesAlt! will remind us of thegreat-evilsTwe . have escaped by being clear of Grant, and will jnten . sify our Convictions that the present is far better than that past in which crime and corruption and debauchery held a. carnival in the very precincts - of the White House.. ?Th ere is some new evidence of . Grant's complicity with the Babcock scandal we wish to lay before our readers. WMSSHBSka TttB KtJiriBtift AND1tlAnTAtfiR bP THE TROOPS. It is to be regretted that during and since the war writers who have held the public": eye- Jiave succeeded in so telling the story of the contest that but few people know how many troops this State- furnished, and how they were brigaded. What is spe dally needed is a . publication to con tain in tabular form all of the bri ,gades in .the Army of Northern Yir ginia, so that in reading of a certain corps or a certain division ,you can tell at once what troops composed i( Only the other dayiwe said in ihtue columns, that - we believed1 Early's division in the first day's fight at Get tysburg was . composed entirely of Virginians. We learn from a geri tleraan of this place, who belonged to that division, that lloke siSorth Uaro Una brigade formed a part of it. t North Carolina furnished over ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE thousand troops for the 'Confede rate service, exclusive of nearly foiiir Hthousarid that were kept at home: in. the service of tho Slate. This is a remarkablq exhibitand it is :t correct one, for a State that never- gave but 112,500 jVotes, prior to the war ja any election. ' What was the character of those troops ? Gen: Lee would, wil-f-lingly bear . witness if Jiving.. lo is known to have expressed his admirap lion oi : ipeir excejienv; quauues on many occasions. I General Matt. W, Ransom once heard him exclaim with great , enthusiasm, (God , bless old North Carolina." General Lane ; (a Virginian) 'relates, as we 'stated yes terday, that he told him on one occa sion, referring to Lane's North Caro lina ' brigade, "that Noith Carolina might well be proud of it." 1 " But what -said Early, Wilcox and others in their reports concerning the conduct of our North Carolinians on various occasions ? Tliey highlf .commands, as commended certain having dono exceptionally; well. Gov. Vance says that Gen. Wade Hampton told him at Charlotte, thai the best troops he ' saw in the . waf were from North Carolina. Ho is ;a South Carolinian. : t y - j Mr. Wallace, of Petersburg,", told Rev. Dr. PHtchard, of Raleigh, tha Gen. A. P. Hill said to him: on. one occasion that he would . rather com mand troops from North Caroling than any others. Mr. Wallace was a Virginian, as was Gen. Al P. Hill j Gen. D. II. Hill, a South; Carohn-j ian, , his given our North Carolina troops credit for the highest soldierly qualities. He has' done this repeat- edly, and he knew whereof : he af-j firmed, for he commanded r them on many a "hard foughten .battle-field. 'j Gen. Hood in his Yarborough House speech at Raleigh, L declared that if he had to bestow the boquet upon that State which sent the most troops and the best troops, he would be forced from a sense of justice and right to give it to North Carolina.; He said, further, that his opportuni-t ties had been large for observing and forming a correct judgment. Gen.' Hood is a Texan. ; V 1 Gen. Trimble, a Mary lander, has. paid those of our troops he had the honor of commanding ' (Pender's; old division) the highest compliment. He told Gen. Lane, at Gettysburg,on the third day, that if his "North Car-; olina troops could not drive the. ene-; my, "all hell could not do it." t : So much for the testimony of dis-j tingnished soldiers from other States. North Carolinians are proud ' of the, record of their brave and patient sol-; diers, and they do not like for slurs to be cast upon their splendid record.! As there is a disposition to glorify the deeds of troops from other States, sometimes at the expense of our own soldiers, we have thought it neither: immodest nor inappropriate-to write the above. We know the casualties among our. North Carolina soldiers were fearful. We have good reason for saying that in the battles around Richmond this State alone lost, . ; over five - thousand killed and wounded and iu the bat tle of Spotsylvania' an additional five thousand. We have no doubt'that over, thirty thousand' North Caro linians perished in the 'war, besides the thousands ! that were mutilated and maimed ! But we will never have credit given us for -what we have done until some native writer relates the story in such attractive language that the world will read and believe. Let our mbst 'distinguished surviv ing 'officers r write' their ; campaigni Why are Senator Ransom, Maj. Geh; Robt. F. Hoke, .Maj. ,Gen. ; Grimes,' Brig Gen. . Scales and others who could be named, silent? - .If they. will not undertake to ' write history as they, have made history, they" at leasi owe it to themselves, and to their gal lant commands to gather all the ma terial necessary for ' such a . work, that the deeds of as true soldiers as ever marched to victory or to death maybe eternized. -Why, too, has not a life of that admirable soldier.

Grant is not in ofticV:ud,a very difiEerent man fills his place. The contrast 'bet ween our President and the French President may be seen in the recent trips taken by the, two. representative men 'of thei two countries.' .; The Marshal-Presi dent has been visiting his Norman; provinces; President Hayes has' been! in NeW England, the land of "isms, where witches, were once burned where I religious tolerance does not! even now . universally, prevail, and where Jim Blaine and Gail Hamilton live. iMacMahon went to settle the election to secifro ,the return of his own pplitical friends.
