A Radical writer, who is said to, bo "an able and earnest exponent of Undicalism in tho Northwest," thus indicates tho purpose of his parly in a roccnlly published article. lie says : "Ounftrtss cm find the power under the ciii-titntion to make laws under which Lvif'l States authorities can nrrost and pnnish these asaaaeics of the South, and Nuii;el onler in Miasissippi. It mibt re quire m cmsiderable stretch of National authority, but the time has come to slretcli that power to its utmost limit." - " Mere is a pquarely stated declara tion favoring the complete abroga-" tion of State' Governments. Such declarations are to bo met with in ed itorial leaders and in speeches, but not always so bluntly and directly slated. We note this to-day to bring us back to the real issue of tho times the struggle between , consti tutional government and usurpation nmh-r the guise of centralization. It is a struggle between the kind of go-. vcrtnnent'Mr. Lincoln favored and so ielicitously described a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and a government of ab solutism a government , violative of "tho old landmarks and of. the true principles of civil liberty a govern-nn-nt run m the interests of capital ists sind rich corporations; that tram-p!.-n under feet '" the interestn of the ;'ople at large; that laughs at the -t-Lu-.toral system, overrides all bar riers and makes the will of one or a few the law for tho millions. That is the real issue, and no candid mind ran or will deny i. To restore a Constitutional Government and to redeem- the country from Radical mis rule is the great, imperative, pressing duty of the hour. . W have altompted in many edi torials to point out the corruptions .-of the Radical party, theirviolations of lsw, their abuse of power, their all mdonmcnt of the old paths of froe d .in and conservatism in which the pure and patriotic men of the past walked. Perhaps the following bnef and yet very suggestive sum mary of Radical crime and madness and folly from the pen of that able constitutional lawyer, Judge Jeremiah S. Black, will, enable our readers to appreciate the more the demands of patriotism at this period of our coun try 'rf destiny. In his very able review of Mr. Bout well's argument in favor of a third term for Grant, Judge Black, in the North American Review, made him this proposition: "1 will make Mr. Boutwcll a proposition: If he will name any kind of vioience or in umiuation which the Grant faction have not uwd to prevent a true poll, or any form of fraud which they have net practiced to fal sify returns, or any sort of cheating in the count which they have not resorted, or any species of the crimen false which they have not perpetrated aa the means of swindling the majority; if they have not filled the seats of Congress with impostors whose object it was to misrepresent, injure and degrade the Status they pretended to come from; if they did nut falsely procure the election of infa mous men to every kind of 8tafe office; or, when defeated, put them ('possession and tntintain tbeto there by force of arras; if Ui.-y did not in 1876 defeat the known will or the nation by a most stupendous swindle; if Mr. Boutwetl can show that these things and others like them were aot done at divers tTTOT;a and places, under the auspices and with the approbation of Gen.Grant and thoses friends of his who are now pushing him for third election.then I will give up the whole ciixu and promise to vote for his candidate." Mr. Boulwell, one of the leading Radicals in IJew England, has never attempted to meet this proposition. N hying man. can deny truthfully fy controvert sucoessf ally any one Horn of the above proposition. Let us next quote: another utterance of the late Chief Justice Uhase of the United States Supreme Court. We gave two extracts from an opinion of his a few dayi ago. Here is another extract, in which the doctrine of VOL. Xl. j Stales' rights' iS set forth plainly, explicitly, in allof its length, breadth, depth, thickness and fullness. He said : "The iwrpojnhj and indissolubility of the Union b oo inoans implies the lt83 of distinct and individual exiaienpi nr f is,. right of eclfrgovcrnment by the States. uoucr me articles pr confederation each State retained its sovereignty, frendrim nn independence, and fevery power,, jurisdic tion and rnjht not expressly delegated to mo uuiiou oiaies.; i ; . j With this opinion of the Highest Judiciary of the country before us, let ua now turn j to some other examples of violated rights of rights Va"ulleiw The right of a Slato to control its' elections is directly interfered with by tho acts of Congress appointing Supervisors and Marshals and Deputy Marshals. It is true the Federal; law appears to relate only to Federal election?, but they inalitntii a supervision arid con trol over the action of voters in State elections,and in all of their aspects en upon Stales'! rights, croach directly that would have! never been tolerated by tho framers of ths Constitution. The election law as passed by Con gress and maintained and defended by the Radicals j generally violates f j j 1 the "sovereignty, freedom and inde- ' . i ' ! i pendenue" as well as the fpower, jurisdiction and right" referred to in the opinion of .C.I J. Chase. Again: the rights of the States were -assailed violently in the last Presidential election by the array of armed forues at the Capital of the United States, drawn llu re avowedly to sustain the claim of tho President of the Senate to 'count the e cutoral House voles, and to intimidate the of Representatives from resisting this claim. It was a tremendous charlerod rights of outrage upon the freemen. It is the right of the States i i to asceitam through and by their Representatives! in Congress, who have been duly chosen to be! Presi dent and Vice President., " Noi British Sovereign within two hundred years would have dared lo have done what Grant did in the winter of 1876. It would have cohI.Iuij his thror e if not his head. j . ,v The rights of j tho States have been assailed vitally by the act of Congress in regard to National ! Banks. By . , i- i -j J imposing them upon tho country it assumes to tax ptatei Banks of is.cuo out of exUtence; whereas it lip ihe right of a State to create a fiscal agency within her borders, to be free from taxaliou by the General Gov ornmenl, as that of the General Gov ernment is to be free from State taxa tion. Such a violation may appear a small matter to one familiarized with the aggressions and usurpations of the last twenty years under jRadical leaders, but no free people can observe it without alarm. The National Bank system is fostered by I Radicals be - j cause it "combines, concentrates, and intensifies the money power," lo quote the words of Judge Thurraan. The Radical party is the moneyed party of this oounlry. There is no sort of doubt of that. Hence all legislation must be directed to foster ing the moneyed power,1 although to do so it adds to the burdens i of tho peoplp, and robs sovereign, indepen dent States, (for such they aro recog nized to be by a decision of the Su preme Court of the United States as seen above), of rights guaranteed them by the Constitution. But our space is more than up, j We shall re fer to other invaded rights hereafter. IIVIL IKUVIOB RBVonn IN NOUTIt CABOLINA. Civil Service Reform is a nice thing under Hayes. Mr. J. K. Mar tin is Postmaster at Jiarg3rettsville, North Carolina. His salary j is $119. He was assessed recently foj $11.90 by a Radical committee, who sent him the following circular ; I . . - "Eeadiiuurters .-Committee : ; Thos. N. Ckioper. chairman; J. C. I Harris, secre W' Young, W.

The time of the year is fast ap proaching when the people of the various States will hold their annual State and county fairs. If v. e may judge by what is said in our contem poraries the Raleigh fair promises to be a better one than usual. ?The trouble with our State fairs in fcrrmer years was that horse-racing and bide- shows appeared to be the chief attrac tions. We have not attended a meeting in several years, but we be lieve that thero has been improve ment in those particulars. Another trouble has been to get the people of the whole State to take an interest in the fair and make it their own, instead of a mere local af-fair. If all North Carolina would unite heartily, the State fair could be made a very interesting occasion. Suppose every county would contribute some of its best productions its special ties, what a creditable aggregate of articles would be exhibited. Then, too, the farmers and others, from Currituck to Cherokee, would attend, because they would feel interested personally in the exhibit. Faira.of this kind furnish a pleas ant occasion for the reunion of the people of the State. The people liv ing in the central counties and those from tho East and West can thus get together, form new acquaintances and renew old ones, and thus cement the ties that bind our people together. When Raleigh shall be able to offer sufficient accommodation for ten thou sand visitors, and the farmers and manufacturers of the State in every section can be induced to regard the State Fair as their fair, and shall send up their West speoimens of the pro ducts or the field and the loom; of the dairy and the farm yard; of the mines : and tho woods, then people will bo attracted from every section of North Carolina and from sections beyond. The county fairs should be en couraged. They do good in many ways. They provoke to good works, and stimulate agricultural pursuits. When a county cannot get up acredi table fair, two . or more counties should unite. We believe there are some eight or teu county fairs now held in the State, and thero is a ten dency to multiply them. Let it be encouraged by all moans. The basis of all prosperity is agriculture. No country thrives without a prosperous farming system. The life of the farmer is at once the freest, the hap piest, the purest, tho most indepen dent. It is a noble calling to till the earth. No man can become more corrupt or vicious by turning the soil. If the 4becomesJ meaner it is not to bo attributed to his call ing. Not all men would be happy and contented on the farm; but those who have been reared. "far from the. madding crowd," would be unwise; to exchange the .freedom and cheer fulness of country life for the strog gle'and strife and activity of town or city life. Thfb is steady improvement in the agricnltural pursuits of our State. Farming in becoming more remunera tive. Men of industry, judgment and economy grow rich gradually. In some sections the farming interests have trebled in value. In many of tho counties from $300 to $1,200 is made to the hand, and from $200 to $600, to the acre. - North Carolina is destined in the future to be one of the most prosperous of States. Al ready she has 1,400,000 inhabitants. By. 1890 she will not fall far short of 2,000,000. The advantages she off era for farming, manufacturing, mining, fruit growing, fishing, &c, are at tracting attention abroad. As the years pass away these advantages will be better known and the tide of immigration will increase steadily. Commissioner Le Duo, after making the survey of the Union, says that North Carolina is better adapted to fruit growing than any of the thirty eight States. She is also - admirably adapted to sheep raising, or will be when the average Legislator wakea up to the necessity of fostering it and protecting it against the ravages of dogs. Wo will bo tempted to fol N. C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2471880. low the bad example of the , carpet baggers and write "Hon." before every Legislator who shall vote for a stringent dog law. Let the fairs be encouraged. Give us a dog law. TUB MAINE FUAUDS ; The Radicals in Maine have given an earnest of what Democrats may expeot from now until the election is over.; Beaten very unexpectedly and overwhelmingly in "the Pine Tree State," Blaine and his set were first f prostrated by the blow. If all the returns had een sent in promptly Plaisied would have been elected by at least 2,000. But Blaine is the great: politioal acrobat the immense India Rubber Man. Hesoonremem bered 1870 and Zach Chandler, J-Ames Golyer Garfield and John Sherman's tactics those nice f'visit- ing statesmen" anj patented Rbjy SS fiffil Iican i saints and he determined to Tit was found that Waddell emulate their example and to copy as far as necessary their methods. Hence, the returns were held back and doc tored to suit tho extremo exigencies of their deplorable condition. Ex Senator Barnum has shown in his dis patch of the 17th how tho villainies are being perpetrated. But although Davis! be conQtedin by f raud, palpa ble and open, as Hayes was counted into the Presidency in 1876, it will prove- only a boomerang. In will surely! and inevitably strike them a fatal blow. The country will under stand: the rascalities practiced it will kpow how the returns were with hold wheu it was apparent to every one to Blaine as well as to all oth ers, ihat the Radicals had been beaten, that a different result might le scoured by changing the figures. Be it remembered that there is a Radical Returning Board in Maine just as there was a Radical Return ing Board in Louisiana i:i 1876. Let it be borne in mind that the Maine Returning Board is just as corrupt as party necessities may demand.; Blaine is not one whit more scrupulous and honest than many others of the band of robbers who stole the Presidency from Samuel J. Tilden and thus de prived a majority of oho million white voters of the right of choice Do not forget - these ihings. , Do not be deceived by what appears to be the result in Maine. Actually counted, with a fair re turn of ballots and the result was this evidently: The Fusion candi date for Governor elected; four out of firet Democratic or Fusion mem bers of the House of Representatives elected, and the Radical majority in Legislature very greatly reduced. It remains to be seen if the honest people of Maine will indorse in No vember such unblushing rascality as that perpetrated by Blaine and his venal brow of profligates. In a recent conversation reported in the Louisville Courier-Journal as occurring at North Vernon, Indiana, on Tuesday last, a young Radical lawyer named Olcott said that they (the Rads) "had got about all the niggers they wanted and they were going (to vote 'em." One Rowan said that their "intention was to get all of ! their doubtful men in in the morning; that they intended to have three Deputy Marshals at the polls, and in; the afternoon they intended to arrest i several, of the Democratic voters; who hadn't good backing, in order io scare others out and keep as many others as possible from voting." It was ascertained that seventy-five men imported from Cincinnati were to work on the "road between Ver non and Groensburg for Horace Scott until after the election, their labor to cost him only their, board while so engaged." And this is the way the Democrats of Indiana are to he cheated out of the eleotion, if it be possible. - Xb9 Great Railway Combination. Undeir this head the Greensboro Patriot copies an extract from a recent: article in the Star on the subject, and thus com ments on it : "We call attention . to this paragraph for the - reason that Wilmington can or ought to offer many1 inducements to merchants, arid purchasers In this section of the State, especially in the line oi groce ries, in which she once did a large business in this section. : With reasonable rates qh roads now established, and: direct commu nication by means of the Cape Fear & Yad kin Valley Road, which will be in opera tion before, long, we believe all the mer chants of Wilmington have to do to extend their, trade in this direction Is. to make the effort and cultivate the jacqaintance of our people. : In this effort they will have the hearty cooperation-of tbe-.Rrirfrk - - Father Ryan, the poet-priest. left Hew Orleans for a northern trip -on I Monday last. r jgrno siepnbltcan Concty Convention. ,Tuo Convention wasj called to-order hout 10 30 A. M., yesterday, in the Court IJouae, by Gen. S. II. Majaning, Ohairmau of the Executive Committee, who was subsequently made permanent Chairman, with Jos.E. Sampson as Secretary. 'After considerable, wrangling in regard . to the admissibility of certain delegates and other minor matters tho Convention finally en tered upon the business for which it had assembled. It was thought that the party in this city had gotten rid of a eood deal of its inharmonious elements, and that this Convention would be characterized at least y Eood order and decorum, and whatever differences of opinion might exist, tho die putes would be settled m a -peaceful and orderly manner. But so far from this being the case, the proceedings jwero if anything more devoid of dignity and harmony thau those of any similar body that has assem bled in this city for years. This was par ticularly the case when ! the nominations for the House of Representatives were be ing made. The two candidates first brought before the Convention by their respective friends were W. II. Waddell, colored, member of tho last House, and J. C. Hill, formerly a member from this county There were thirty delegates entitled to was announced had received IS and Hill 15 votes, making a total of 31, or one vote more than the number of legal delegates in the Convention. This caused some disturbance, but the Chairman quieted the crowd by suggesting a new ballot. This was acceded to, and the next ballot resulted in Hill's receiving 15 voles and Waddell 14. This vote was about to be announced by the Chairman, when tho opponents of Hill burst lout in a storm of furious protest and indignation, shouting "Won't have him," 4,DonH want him," We'll vote for a Democrat first," &c. This scene of unparalleled confusion lasted for about a half an hour, some of the delegates as well as outsiders baing perfectly furious, one in dignant sovereign declaring that "New Hanover county was going to h 11." In the meantime Gen. Manning, the Chair man, rapped continuously on te desk be fore him, 'and his stentorian voice could be heard above the tumult of the ex cited assemblage, shouting "Order! Or der! Order!" Finally Waddell got up and endeavored to pour oil upon the troubled waters, and then Hill jumped up and proposed that Waddell be placeed as second on the ticket by acclamation. This pro posal served but as a Signal for a fresh outburst Of indignant negatives and pro tests, until finally the nominee had to with draw his name. This was put to the meet ing in the form of a motion, and the "eyes evidently had it," and "by a large ma jority,? judging from the amount of noise made by those who voted in the affirm ative. Another ballot was then taken, which resulted in the nomination of Waddell. The remainder of the nominations were made without much difficulty, and the ticket, as completed, is as follows: For the House W. H. Waddell, colored, James Wilson, white. Sheriff S. H. Manning, by acclama tion. ; Register cf Deeds Joseph E. Sampsoa, colored, by acclamation, Treasurer Elijah Hewlett, by acclama tion. Coroner E. D. Hewlett. Surveyor No nomination made.

Sharpless, Jas.. Pickett, E. G. Pennypacker. A resolution was adopted recommending H. E. Scott to PenderCounty as the choice of New Hanover Republicans for Senator. Rico Fields ana Blee Bird. t R K. Bryan, Esq., of the Fayetteville Examiner, who was recently here en route to his old home at Scott's Hill, thus alludes to a familiar sound in these parts: "The perpetual booming of guns suggested that another war had been started. We found, however, an explanation of the phenome non on our return. The rice fields were in all the i glory of the rich golden harvest, and the booming guns! were fired among the rice birds, Which come in multitudes at this season to snatch from man the fruits of his industry. The' rice fields put us in mind of the ante-bellum times, when the planters were prosperous and wealthy. May tbjose times return." The rice birds are a favorite dish with our epicuresand our people have their spite out of them for being such enemies to the unoffending rice planters by eating 'em. I It is about time for them to take their departure now. Bealgiaiion of Dr. Patterson. Many will regret to hjarn .that Rev. Dr. George; Patterson, of St. John's Episcopal Church, in this city, has resigned the rec torship. of that church j He does so, we learn, with the intention of accepting a po sition tendered him by the . University of the South, which is to j solicit an endow ment fund for that institution at Sewanee, Tennessee.

Mr. Editor i The Convention as sembled here to-day, 16th of Septem ber, to nominate candidates for county offices and for a member of the next House of Representatives. Mr." E. A. Hawe-3 was elected per manent chairman, and Messrs.' Thos. J. Armstrong and Joab Johnson were elected secretaries.. Appropri ate resolutions were passed. Six hours wore passed in balloting for a nominee for Sheriff. The names of the following gentlemen were pro posed, and their claims pressed by their respective friends, with varying results: Messrs. A. H. IJaddison, A. C. Ward, R. J. Moore, H. A. Colvin and J ames M. Westbrook. One by one tneso names were withdrawn, until the contest narrowed down be tween Messrs. Paddison and Ward. The feeling ran high. After a large number ot bailotings, Capt. Ward obtained tho required two-thirds vote and was declared the nominee for Sheriff. Balloting then commeuced for a candidate for election as a member of the next House of Representatives. The following names were proposed . Messrs. Thomas H. Mclntire, Bruce Williams, Thomas J. Armstrong, J. D. Corbett and John H. Murphy. The following was annnounced as the result of the first ballot Mclntire 26, Williams 3, Murphy 5, Armstrong 5, and Corbett 1. No election. Mr. Armstrong then withdrew his name. A second ballot was had, resulting as follows: Mclntire 38, Armstrong 2, Murphy 1, and Corbett 1. Mr.McIn tire's name was then announced as the choice of the Convention for the Legislature. Mr. William M. Hand was nomi nated for Register of Deeds, and Dr. George F. Lucas for Coroner. Mr. John N. Rowe was nominated for Surveyor. Much excitement has prevailed in the Democratic ranks here all day over the matter of these local offices, especially in the disturbing question of Sheriff. Mr. F. H.

From the New York Evening Post, Sept. . : 15, 1880.1 The following letter settled the Southern Claims bugbear in 1876. The attempt to Tevive it now is silly. To the People of the United States: We understand that it is now gene rally charged by the Republican leaders and press of the North that the Southern people expect that a change of the administration of the Federal government and the advent of the Democratic reform party to power will inure to their pecuniary benefit in securing for them payment for loss or damage to property suf fered by them during the late war. In reply to this charge we declare that the Southern people have no such hope or expectation. ! Their loss in debts incurred in sup port ot the war and caused by eman cipation is barred from payment by tho Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Compensation for all other injuries to their property caused by the war is prohibited by the law of nations and the decisions of the Supreme Court of .the United States. They have, therefore,, no hope or expectation of being reimbursed for either, and we denounce such charges as injurious and false. All we de sire is peace, prosperity and just go vernment, giving us equal rights under the constitution. October 25, 1876. i James B. McCreary, Governor of Kentucky. ' John W.
