The correspondent of the New York Herald, now in the South, in one of his letters'gives his general im pressions of public sentiment as he finds it among the Democrats. He says from the Northern border of the South to Charleston, whence he writes, there is no marked Grant sentiment, bat a prevailing indiffer ence to Federal politics as compared with local questions. We are glad that this is so. It is of the highest im portance to us as North Caro linians that we shonld have wise, prudent, economical, just, honest State and county governments. Whilst the condition of affairs in all of the counties is not such as is de sirable, and some of the present offi cials are no better than those dis- placed, there has been a very striking improvement in many counties, and the people have much cause for sincere thankfulness that the Demo crats are in power. If the people are wise and know their own interests, they will see to it that the State is not returned again to the very tender keeping of a party that blasted its prospects and consumed its sub stance. Just here we will avail ourselves of some figures m HaWe Weekly, because they show most conclusively the great advantages gained to the people by the supremacy of the Democrats in State affairs. They serve to disprove the charges brought by Republicans that there has been an actual increase of expenses under a Democratic administration of the government. In 1869 the Republicans levied 77 cents on the $100 of property. The levy of taxes now, under the Demo crats, is 24 cents. Pat a pin there, -er, like Capt. Cuttle, "make a note on it." Bat farther, and w quote : "Omitting $7,800,000 raised by1 the sale of bonds for railroad purposes, the Audi tor's report for the year ending September 30th, 1869, shows an expenditure of $887, 438.97. That for the year ending September 30th, 1870, omitting in like manner $2,000, 000 used also for railroad purposes, was $1,454,214.10. Under Democratic rale the State 'pays as it goes,1 and in the three years of that rule the total amount of taxes collected from the people is $1,420,981.10. The expenditures have been just about the same sum; that is to say, three years of uemocraue ruie cost fdo,33 less than one year of Radical rule, and that too without counting the illegal and repudiated debt made under Radical rule." There has been no increased valua tion of property, (omitting this year which will speak for itself hereafter,) as is charged. The good work of re duction is simply and solely the re sult of honest and economical expen diture. It is only that and nothing more or less1. These are the things that concern North Carolinians far more than Federal politics can concern "them possibly. If the people are wise they will take an active part next year in their home politics; they will see to it that only capable, faith ful, sober and honest men are seleo d for office. The prospect is will be a shaking up of the pack, so to speak, and posh bly a new deal in rlraBraoeTrtfol aTT erbao TO "rf L would occur probably if every official iu the State was all he should be, and because there are so many who are standing, waiting to step into his shoes. Wm Bat whether there be few or many changes, the people the sovereigutr of our State should be true to them selves in the matter of selecting can didates. No"n bat menofhigh moral character should be chosen for any office within their gift. Say what you will the best men of our country are becoming very tired of voting for political nobodies, or worse than no bodies, simply because they are de monstrative in their political profes sions, and are always airing their claims to being of the "Simon-pure" and wool-dyed kind. No virtuous woman is found asserting her virtue. A man of principle and conviotion has no reason to be proclaiming his devotion to the cause he espouses. We have known men who were eter nally parading themselves as very extreme who could be bought for $50, whilst men who never referred to their party attachments could not be bought with all the offices in the land. Let the people prepare for a bold, active campaigu in 1880. Do not. allow eager and greedy aspirants and self-seekers to deceive you. Go to the nominating conventions and vote for men you oan trust, and in whose honor and judgment yOu confide. Do your duty first in selecting can didates; do your duty next in the progress of the campaign; and on the day of election do your duty by vo ting yourself, and by inducing others to vote by appeals to their reason and interests. - oil c ; fflOBB CONCERNING IHE MAINE EIHBB06LIO. There will hardly be war in Maine. As has been suggested, the men who first clamored for shot guns were men who never put their precious carcasses within reach Of war missiles during the "late onpleasantness." Pacific measures will prevail it is to be hoped. The Stalwarts are now learning a severe lesson in the hard school of experience. The bitter in gredients that were forced upon the Democrats in 1876 have been com mended to their own lips. In ope sense this is pleasant to behold. It is absolutely delightful to see their wriglings and the effects of the De mocratic emetic It is such a nice evidence of retributive justice. It shows that the mills of the gods are still grinding and are grinding awful fine. It is absolutely refreshing, ex citing, exhileraticg to behold the contortions of the valiant Blame and the warlike Hamlin. What an exquisite adjusting of punishment to deserts! These fellows clapped their hands when Louisiana was outraged, and said well done thou good and faithful servants, the Wells's and Andersons and Casoaves. Now we could take a singular plea sure in seeing these corrupt and ma lignant fellows punished if that were all. But there is a boomerang in all such measures. The weapon used may hit back. The sword is two edged. The lowering of political standards, the immorality of party tricks, the reversal of the public will as expressed at the polls, the dangers involved in an appeal to very ques tionable methods, are to be depreca ted and avoided. No party ought to succeed that resorts to speciousTech nicahties and political immoralities. The old, tried Democratic party can not afford to lower its standard and to copy the evil plans and doubtful pro prieties of the corrupt Republican party. It is wrong to deprive the people of their votes. It is a crime to stifle their voices. The Democratic party as such cannot engage in any such disreputable busiess at any time or in any place.' As the Rich mond State well says: "No constitution will ever justify the commission of a deliberate wrong, know ingly perpetrated upon the people, when a generous or liberal interpretation of the in sirumeni in its true spirit and with the de sire to do right could have as easily been reacnea ana saiisnea anse ine intention of the law and the ends is What the popular will in Maine was. The teehnipalities re sorted to in some1 instances were of the most trifling character. It is said v. Gareelon, his advisers and defenders, that he did not violate the letter of the law. That is granted, but it is neither wise nor just to al ways exercise power or to fulfil the extreme letter of the law. Every jurist knows this. The New York World remarks pertinently ; "The Governor's address to the public justifying their course by citation of the constitution, the statutes and the decisions of the Supreme Court of Maine, stands un contradicted. Their whole offence con sists in an fanjust exereiseof a legal dlsere t ion with which they were invested by the people of Maine themselves. It resembles an excessively severe sentence imposed by a judge within the discretion which the law .:.-.m';:H SfrtH ft&tfast; tfC ,SooD qtitSj ,?-ii'tf allows to the judiciary in respect u ratost Zt-JljiiM1'" ' 11 "' . . The frauds in Louisiana were an bad as bad could be. In Maine it is differebjyfor there have been no wholesale false-swearing andfraudjF Bat in both the will of the pepple wa8v reversed, and that by officials who were empowered to count the vote. There is this difference in the papers of the two parties: AH of the Republican papers justified the Louisiana wrongs, Whilst more than half of the leading Democratic pa pers of the opuntry have denounced the course of Gareelon and Council in Maine. ' It is high time that this sort of outrage upon the popular will should be stopped. j jj.. is high time that fair, honest elections were restored to the country. The Republicans rejoiced when tije Democrats were robbed: now they cry out lustily and threaten even war when they are made to suffer by an appeal to Returning Board manipulations. This shows their hypocrisy,, their violence, and their meanness. But, however amu sing and just it is that they should be punished, the Democrats at large cannot afford to visit the punishment upon them by officially reversing and Overbearing the will of the people. We feel sure that this will be the final JadgmeBt'oL. iwieen-twentieths of the Democratic party. Let justice be done though the heavens fall. There ought to be a high morality in politics as in social life. The world has scarely seen a greater master of criticism than Sainte-Beuve. All who have read much of bia Sun day Chats" know bis exquisite taste, his singular fairness, his catholicity of judgment, his. rare critical insight, and his candor and honesty of con viction. He was what Henry James, Jr., so expressively and happily says in hia characterization of the able and scholarly Frenchman "the very genius of observation, discretion, and taste." But our object is to merely copy a few lines from the French man, which are as just as surprising. Writing to a clerical friend he says: "If you knew English, you would have a treasure-house upon which you could draw. They have a poetio literature very superior to ours, and, above all, more healthy, more full. Wordsworth is not translated; one does'nt translate those things; one goes and drinks them at the fount. Let me enjoin upon you to learn Eng lish." A capital theatrioal critic in Black wood for December has no exalted opinion of Sarah Bernhardt, who has been bep raised to death. He says: "It was no less pitiable to see how people, who profess to be learned in matters of art, went mad over the feeble performances last summer of Mdlle. Sarah Bernhardt Grant that the lady can play on a few chorda of the heart; still they are few, and she can strike them but feebly." He says it would be absurd to expect that the "ethereal qualities that touch the heart the power of impersonating woman in her highest and most heroic aspects," could be "the outcome of such a nature and such a life." We had beard that the life was one of reproach, and we are not surprised, therefore, at this judg ment, but we did suppose -Coat she struck some chords" vigorously and deftly. Ellison has triumphed. His new light has been tested at Menlo Park He used a carbon paper slip illumi. nat or and with entire satisfaction. Thirty-two electric burners were em ployed and a dozen houses illumina ted.

' SPIRIT OF fH PitlS--. What Independent Paper its; f. . It is alleged that for every instance of the rejection of Republican votes by Wovernor Gareelon and his Coun cil there are precedents by the lie publican Governor and Council in 1877. We donotkuow wlrether this is true to the extent alleged, but, so far as ltjs true, it proves that both parties in Maine have pnt the same construction on the election laws of the State. But sharp practice on one side is no jastitieatioii of sharp prac tice on the other.; 1 he laot that both parties have operated in this way, not only m different parts of the coun try, but in Maine itself, shows how perva.ding is the disease, and demon strates the necessity for a thorough remedy. Honorable men of both par ties should be aroused lo the enormity of such praotices. Honest and fair elections lie at the founda tion of our institutions. When the voice of the people, as expressed through the ballot box, ceases to con trol the choice of public officer, the American Republic will have been subverted. Let us hope that the evils now so loudly complained of will work their own cure by inspiring the country with a sense of the perils which attend the pollution of politi cal power in its sources. New York Herald. From all this it would 8eem that it is decidedly popular to steal a State government in Maine, particularly among those who are to become the receivers of the stolen goods. The Democrats remember how their Re publican neighbors defended and re joiced over the frauds of 1876, and they are now handing the cup back with a yell of delight. This is all very well so far as playing for even at fraud between two parties; but what is to become of the dignity and sanctity of popular government in the meantime r Phxladelphia Times. The law of chances is invariable, and exposes both parties to nearly equal losses, proportional to their numbers. Bat by some hocuspocas, all or nearly all the returns electing Fusionists have proven correct (Or have been corrected), while, the de fective returns electing Republicans have stubbornly remained defective still. This is a fact inconsistent with any theory that the Governor and Council are merely reluctantly obey ing some inexorable law which they cannot get away from. The Whole affair bodes the rapid progress we are making in Mexicaaization. No pos sible gain can come to the Democracy from this election in the Presidential contest. In fact, it almost dooms Democracy to defeat in 1880, under whatever auspices it may enter the field. Springfield Republican. It is a little significant that the journals that are looked upon as ex ponents of liberal Democratic doc trine have, almost without exception, taken the ground that, the action of the party in Maine was disgraceful, and called for nothing other than de nunciation; while the Southern news papers that are inspired with the spirit of Bourbonism forming, nu merically, a larger group than the other class have argued that the rejection of Republicans elected to the Maine Legislature was a perfectly allowable proceeding, and that the canting and howling Radicals were now having their own cards played against them. Indeed, these men seem to look upon politics as a game in which the shrewdest come out ahead, and into which common hon esty and the wishes of a majority of the electors need not necessarily en ter. However, public opinion in the South is, in the long run controlled by men who are more than party hacks. Eoston Herald. ' CtRRENT COHMKNT. - If this system is resorted to in every State, there will bo some sur prising results of. elections. There are names misspelled and returns im properly signed: in every State' of tfce Union at every election.

This little village was illuminated with Prof. Thomas A. Edison's elec tric light this evening. - Qly-four outdoor lamps were in operation, but electric burners to the number of twenty eight were distributed in a dozen house and the new light was pronounced a perfect success. It was demonstrated by illumination that the light of eaoti f the p-oaUe.l burners was fu-Uy equal to that produced by the ordinary gas jet in the street lamp or dwelling house. Only two electric- generators were in u to day to supply the twenty-eight burners which were in operation,bir- with ad ditional or more powerful generators the intensity of the light, Mr. Edi son said, could be increased. A third generator will be finished in a day or two, and then a dozen or more addi tional burners, will be set going. There wa -a marked difference be tween the light of the carbon paper burners at Menlo Park and the in tense dazzling -frght given by the electric lamps which have for some time past: been used in New York and other cities. The painful scin tillation of -4jie .Matter, oaused by in numerable sparks chasing each other over the metal, instead of the car bonized retainer, is entirely avoided. After the visitors had witnessed the effect of the illumination from the lamps and from the outside of the houses, they were permitted to enter several ot,the private residences and judge of the utility of the "new light for household purposes. One gen tlemaobad an electric light in one of the sleeping rooms of his house. He siid that the only fault he found with the light was that it was too bright. Said be, "I must either allow it to remain on full head or turn it off entirely. There is no intermediate point, bat, I presume Mr. Edison will make some small lamps for sleeping rooms." Iu the office attached to Mr. Edison's laboratory were three lights, which bad been constantly burning a day and night. The carbon paper slips did not show the least deteriora tion, and to all appearances were good for almost an indefinite length of time. One of Edison's associates was busily engaged in the laboratory to day perfecting an invention that he hopes will supersede the old system of telegraphy. It is somewhat simi lar to the old automatio,aud produces a facsimile of the original message at the other end of the hue. On a short circuit at the Park it has worked with complete success, and the in ventor claims that it will operate over a wire 1,000 miles in length. Pulpit Plaglarlsum JN. Y. Herald. Dr. Lorimer, of Chicago, has been beaten in the role of plagiarist by another Baptist, Rev. W. H. Sloan, of Gaoandaigua, New York, who re cently preached, word for word, the celebrated "Temple" sermon of tbe Rev. Dr. Parker, of London, the same that Dr. Lorimer also delivered, and which got him into trouble. Mr. Sloan was invited to furnish a copy for publication in pamphlet form, which he did with the modest regret "that it was not more deserving of the honor conferred upon it." Prom all parts of the country come evi dences that this deception is very largely practised by our ministers. The late F. E. W. Robertson, of Eng land; Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore; Mc Gheyne, of Scotland; Mcllvaine, of Ohio; the Wesleys; Pitman, of New Jersey, as well as Beecher, Talmage, and Dr. Parker, of London, and many more are thus made unwilling and uncredited contributors to the popu larity of scores of ministers here and elsewhere. Indeed, so brilliant and popular a preacher as Dr. Talmage preaobed a sermon some time ago which had been published in an Engc usn paper, irom wnicn ne toog it, out which of course was published here as his own. iSletdlst minkter of Brooklyn some months later preached the same sermon to his congregation, and when asked if he had stolen it from Dr. Talmage he produced the paper from which both had - cribbed.
