XXVI.T-NO. 61. unprovoked and malignant misrep resentation of my (hjs) political re cord." We judge it to be a campaign document a bid as lit were for re- nomination. ! In our State News column we pub ash a statement from the Raleigh Observer to the effect that the Best company had organized, but iu New York. In the Sunday's issue the same paper raises this question : "We doubt very much, however, that they could legally organize in New York oute under a north Carolina statute. The Western North Carolina Railroad Company can have, no existence beyond the limits of North Carolina save by comity. For comi ty to have anything to acton, it seems to us essential that the company should first be organized within the limits of North Carolina. 1 While we are extremely anxious that the sale to the Syndicate shall, be completed, yet we are alill more anxious to have every thing done in order and according to law. The Democratic party cannot afford to countenance any deviation from the law in a matter of this moment, and the Observer will not. We therefore submit the ques tion for the consideration of the Attorney Geperal, whether an i organization ofa North Carolina corporation ia . legal thatls bad beyond Vh3 limits of the State, and whether such' an organization is within the scope of the act. Is it, in law, an organi zation at all ?n I Let all things be done decently and in order; Tbo anti-Grant organs are figuring desperately. If we; may trust them the Democratic candidate of the Re publican party will not be chosen on the first ballot. Here is what the New York Iribune says, but we would not believe it on oath : "Conceding to General Grant every vote which there is the slightest ground for sup posing he will gel giving him the solid delegations from Arkansas, Alabama, Ken tucky and Texas, not because they arc Bolid in bis favor, bat because his friends say that the anti-Grant men upon them will not revolt against the instructions and unit rule's of their States, and not counting the contests in IllinoU we make his vote on the first ballot 315. or 64 short of a majori ty. Blaine has 272 votes, Sherman 110, Ed munds 36. Washburne 13, and Wmdom 10. The lines were never more closely drawn ia a National Convention.'

Greensboro Patriot : General Scales is not a candidate for the office of j Governor. He has never authorized any person to say that he would decline the nomination it tendered to him by the State Democratic Convention at Raleigh on June 17th. On the contrary, however, if the peo ple of North Carolina want Gen. Scales to be their Governor and should so express themselves by tendering him the nomina tion on the 17th day of June next, he will accept it. J New Berne Record. It is well understood now that the Western North Carolina Railroad was bought In the inter est of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, and that a portion of the deep waters of Virginia has been selected as an outlet for the transportation, of. the North Carolina roads. - This f everything from Goldsboro west passes into Virginia, throngh Dan ville, and Eastern North Carolina may whistle for any commerce in the future.
