Gilmer. - About as two severe criticisms as have been made on Roseoe Conkling for his recent speech against the South was made by one of the lead ing Philadelphia Republican papers. the Telegraphy and the staunch "old Evening Posttoi New York, presi ded over for forty years by William Cullen Bryant. The Philadelphia Ledger's New York letter of the 20th says : : - "The Evening Post is commonly reckoned a Republican paper. It certainly supports Uarheld and Arthur; vet this afternoon it baa a leader (supposed to be from the pen of Parka Godwin) as severely criticizing Senator Cockling and his Academy of Music speech as any of the more pro nounced of its Democratic contemporaries 13 capable of. It accuses him of 'cold blooded sectionalism,' 'ignoring the noble and efficient service of Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet in healing old sores and bringing . about kind and .conciliatory feelings.' The ' Senator is also accused of a 'Satanic am bition' and of 'making an insidious assault upon the best character, purposes and hopes oi ine liepublican party. 'Mr. Uonklmg. adds the Post 'has done much hitherto to drive independent thinkers from their Re publican adhesions, and his present ill judged, illogical and malicious speech will we fear, quicken the departures." We will give an extract to-morrow from the lelegraph's sharp editorial Conkling spoke to a great crowd in New York on Friday night. He rather went for the Fraudulent Presi dent. He was not specially heavy in the way of laudation of Garfield, bn laid the lather on thick upon Abra ham Arthur. Grant wrote a letter, in which he said he did not believe the Democrats could be trusted 'at - iv ." Grant, Conkling, Garfield, Arthur ! What a quartette ! Machine fellows all over. Conkling is the only one of the three whose character is not smirched with personal dishonesty. But then there is a husband in Rhode Island and a wife who lives elsewhere who have no cause to remember Conkling save with execrations. - And this is the set who say the Democrats may not be trusted. : . The Richmond Dispatch, a mode rate paper ordinarily, is Btirred to say: . "Senator Conklicg's speech in New York on Friday night marks him as the champion liar of the age. The attack he made upon the people of the South was simply diaboli cal. A devil incarnate could not have been more malignant." "Champion liar of the age." We ..accept the amendment and call for the previous question. Hayes only carried Ohio by 2,747 votes in 1876, Garfield was a candi date for Congress that year. In his district he ran behind Hayes 2,549 votes. If he had been running for Governor he would have been beaten 15,000 votes. Who says he will carry Ohio? TUB "HEUELN" AND A Mj OLID NOKTJI. i! ( ! In 187G Tilden received 2,682,688 votes in the Northern States, and ,613,982 in the Southern States n majority in favor of jiho North of ,068,700. So that fact will dispose of the claim net up by Radical or gans that if Hancock is elected "the Rebel Brieadicrs" will have I control. - , i i .! Two-thirds can always control one- third. Majorities in this country govern, except in case of Returning oards aided by Electoral Comtnis- .i" ,; . ! 1 1 - f sions. JN early tnree minions oi Northern Democrats would seem to dispose of the foolish talk about a solid North." Maine looks very "solid." to be sure. II To 1 1 set. the ! I 1,613,952 Southern Democratic votes you will have to include the votes of Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, but these States were only partly Southern in the war, and they furnished 375,085 soldiers for the Union armies. That . i n .2 " 1 1 .1 13 to say, uiese live so-ruaui;u Southern States furnished more sol diers for the Worth man did thirteen Northern States, us follows ;: Maine....... 72,114 California... 15,705 N. HamDshire 30.609 Colorado. 4.908 3,159 1,810 1,082 29,309 Vermont...;. iJti.ztra iteurasKaj Rhode Island. 23,689 Oregon.. Connecticut-. 57,879 Nevada. Minnesota. ... 2o,982 Iowa. . . Kansas ...... 23.151 I . Total ... . ................ ... ..j.. .373,373 So if you deduct these States iihe Democrats of the "loyal States" have 3,206,982 votes, the "rebel States" but 1,089,688 a majority in favor of the former of 2.117.294. So the "rebel element can hardly ruin the country, pay for the lost ! negroes, capture Hancock, and play the wild generally according to the pro-; gramme marked out by the Stalwart organs. In 1876 the following waa the vote of seven States that are very impor tant in the pending campaign: j i Dem. i- Rep. Connecticut.......... 61,934 59,034 New York. ........ . .521,949 489,207 New Jersey . . . . . .115,982 103,517 Pennsylvania . . 366,158 384,122 Ohio ..323,182 , , 330,898 Indiana 213,526 208,011 Illinois. 258,601: j 278,232 Total.... ..1,801,312 1,852,821 So in these seven important States the Democrats in 18,76 had a ma jority of nearly 10,000. Does that look like a "Solid North Til It looks like a Democratic victor v. r It need not surprise any one if those seven States should all vote for Hancock.

The same industry applied here that you must apply elsewhere if you would succeed ' will bring you larger results. North Carolina needs tho services of every good man or useful citizen to help develop her great natural resources. It always pains us to see it announced that some i i ' f valuable citizen has gone to some othorjState to seek his fortunes. There is room enough in North Carolina for four million of people. I It is better It is better : i own pebple to remain among your than jto seek a home among strangers Do not think of deserting vour old s for ,.f - a ranee land amonL 8tranff0 fa008. Let all remain; let frugaiUy, industry and virtue be practiced, and with God's blessing all neglected lands will be brought under cultivation in due season, our fields will bp green with richly wav- mg harvests, and our hills and valleys will echo the merry songs of a free, happy, prosperous, contented people. uui j,o uu a greab aim uuuusuiug T... LA - . a u Stato North Carolina needs some things. Briefly they may thus be named: 1. It needs immigrants with mo ney, who can buy lands or engage in enterprises that will help develop our great natural resources. 2. It needs oapital and a plenty of it. There is no btate that offers bet- ter inducements and hi greater varie ty. Men can come to North Caro lina or send their money for invest -ment and realize handsomely. Agri culture, horticulture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, and so on, all offer pecaliar and many advantages. 3. It needs a greater diversity of crops. Our people have been too much inclined to confine themselves exclu sively to the cultivation of the cereals, and the great staples, cotton and to bacco. They have neglected I to a large extent the cultivation of the vine, the orchard, and the truck farm, and the raising of stock of im proved breeds. A change is needed. We have a soil aud climate every way Dronitious. lhe culture ot the A. ft. grape offers special opportuni ties, for the best grapes j will grow almost anywnere in tne State, from tho seashore to the Northern border. Y"ou will find the Scuppernong grown in the utmost perfection in Granville, , Warren, Franklin and Halifax, and as far North as within a few miles of the Virginia linA flranfia in m-fiat. vari- J e . t) , I ety and of the finest kind grow I any- where in the sections mentioned.

There is no reason why I the same things cannot ' be done in I North Carolina. The Garrett vine- yards in Halifax, the large vineyards at Ridgeway and near Kittrell, the Tokay vineyard of Fayetteville, and others, show how easily tho grape can be cultivated. 4. It needs manufactures. It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this point. We have so often dwelt npon it in these columns we will say bn,t little now. We are confident that North Caro- Una offers advantages equal to the best. There are already over fifty faf.nrifiR at work, and man v-of the proprietors have become rich or are becoming rich, i Others can do like- wise. The water power of the State is immense and the cotton supply at I vour doors. But we da not limit our remarks to the manufacture of il cotton. There are good openings for many kinds of manufactures, and J ! .. when the right men come they will AonrisK: Th Innm ia iW.ir.fid vflti --- - t we would fain believe, to go hand in l A ... : U .u nuu J .1, uu uiD pgu auu uu ana tne anvil in untoiaing the great natural resources of North Carolina. fMrtirUf it t,r rrt oiAno f f - Qf lti ,vflMi0 ft,nn .

TK K I IN KO A OS AN D PURPOSES OP RADICALISM. We have occupied already so much time and space in considering ,tho "annulled" and violated rights of ,i the States at the hands of the Radicals, we shall make our closing editorial short. The act of Congress and the Judi cial construction of it which with draws the National .Banks from the jurisdiction of the State Courts for violations of the criminal laws of the State is an assault upon the right of the State to enact police regulations for thb governance of those within its borders. This is no small matter. It violates a principle; it subverts a right; it robs the States of a power they had never surrendered. An act of Congress had as well say that a United Stales Marshal is pot liable for the crime of murder to a State, as that a National Bank is not liable to the offence of usury made penal by Stato enactment. The lime will comeiwhen such a flagrant Violation of right' will be deplored by even those who now regard it as altogether proper. Wrong is certain, sooner or later, to produce its legitimate fruit. There are other rights of the States which are threatened. First, the Republican party claims that the United States Government is a Nation as contra-distinguished to a Union; by which it means "that the Government has the right to take its army across any State line into any city, county or ward for the purpose of protection to U. S. citi zens;" whereas it is expressly pro vided that such use of the army is permitted only in case of invasion, insurrection or domestic violence, on the call of the Legislature. These extreme Jbederal, nay, these mo narchical claims are based on the idea of the Hamiltonian preferences of a Constitution, to which Garfield gives such hearty adhesion. We have pointed out the dangers that threaten the country from such a construction. The purpose of the Garfield set is to repeal in 1880 the struggle that occurred in 1800 over the correct interpretation of the im mortal instrument. The Republicans desire the triumph of; the' monarchi cal construction that they may again assert the right to pass alien and sedition or other laws appertaining to a ''strong government." But we have protracted the discus sion long enough. We havo surely said enough to warn every lover of country against the revolutionary Purposes Ot the total WartS. We are I for Adhering strictly to the traditions and interpretations of the wise and .- . pure men of the past.

I ! The moral effect of the Maine elec- tion will be all on the side of the Democrats. Why Blame and his set did not continue their plan of cheating to tho end can bo explained by the reported dispatches from In diana that the Maine steal was in juring - Radical prospects in that State. There was besides such an s m outcry against the rascalities from every section and even from honest Republican sources that Blaine and his bulldozers quailed, and hence the manipulations at the last either ceased or were much modified. But whether Plaisted or riav is should) be seated the Democrats alone will receive benefit elsewhere from the) great revo lution in Maine since Hayes carried it by over fifteen thousand majority. The Fusionisls have been cheated doubtless out of one mom our or tne U. S. House,; if not rnoreJ The Re work the publicans will have to harder in all of the doubtful States to prevent anj overthrow. This they will do, and by work we mean all manner of disreputable methods. The outlook in Maine for Novem- i ... ber is not so oncouragiti for Ran cock as it seemed to be a few days ago. The split in the J Greenback party will probably hand over the electoral vote to Garfield. But we are not yet informed as to what ex tent the split will reach, j The proba bility is it will be fatal to success. A union of all the opposition: elements in favor of one Hancock ticket would have made the Slate safe for him. At last accounts the chances of Plaisted's election had much improved, and he will be victor probably by a very small plurality. Col. A. M. Waddell made a politi cal speech at Portland, Maine, on Monday night. It was the first of a series of public meetingsLto be con ducted during the campaign under the auspices of the National Demo cratic Union." A dispatch reports . A. Col. Waddell as saying: "If r wcie a Northern man I should be ashamed to talk of the Solid South. It is pusillanimous. Truly, the South is solid for our flag, it is solid for Union, solid for good government, and solid for Qea. Han cock. Cheers.! The iuiauilics of Repub licanism made us solid in these respects. It is untrue to stale that we are solid in any wicked sense ot the term. We are but a fraction of the Democracy land it is dis creditable in the Republican leaders to hold us up as a scarecrow to affright the igno rant, 'lhey tell their hearers that if Gen. Hancock is elected lhe rebel debt will be paid and rebel soldiers pensioned. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution bars any such payment and this paramount law cannot be changed without the consent of thrco-fourlhs oi the legislatures of the States and two-thirds of the voters of the members of both Houses of Congress. In the name of common sense and simple arithmetic, how can such a thing be done? The Southern States can certainly not act comphsh it." j It is thought ! that pie census of 1880 will cause soma loss in the Elec toral vote of the future1 that was not 7 I ! looked for. Radical leaders and or gans supposed the South w ould be the loser 'only. Bat, according to a careful calculation made in the Phila delphia Times, the South will gain six votes. Here is its own figures: 1870. 1880. Loss. Gain. New Eogland Slates, 40 371 3 Central Stales, h 110 10S 5 Western States.! 69 77 8 Pacific Bute?, 12 13 1 Slave States, 1 13S 144 6 So the "best laid plans" do not al ways come out just as the builders would have them. The Washington Post thinks the Democrats will! gain thirty-seven members as follows: ! "Oao in Alabama, one in Californiaone in Connecticut, five in Illinois, two in In diana, one .in Iowa, one in Kansas, two in Massachusetts, one in Michigan, one in Minnesota, one in Missouri, one, and per haps two la New Hampshire, two in New Jersey, icight 4n New Yoik, fiveia Penn sylvania, ..one in Texas, and one in Wis consin." ! - '''J'" ' ii It thinks it will lose five; one in Louisiana, one in Oregon, and three in Virginia. Here is what the Washington cor respondent of the Baltimore Sun sends that paper on tho 20th con cerning Grecubacker movements : "Gen. .Weaver, the Greenback candidate for the Presidency, before leaving here yes terday, said he would make speeches in West Virginia, Iowa, Illinois,- Michigan and. Indiana before the campaign closes. He continues positive in his assertion that the Greenbackers will maintain their sepa rate ticket in all the States in1 which they have made nominations, and says they will nave from 20 to SO members in the next House, and bold the balance of power." ; Is this -Weaver kounting on Kurnel Kdrnegay.aa being a successful kan didato ?. . And is this the same pro phetic Weaver who carried Ala.barna "in a born?" Gen; Joseph E. Johnston paid Gen. Hancock a visit recently, as did also Gen. Cadmus A. Wilcox, who is a na tive North Carolinian by the way. On iSatnrday Jim : Blaine tele- grapHcxl td Waabingto.n:.: "We have elected Dayis by, a handsome, plu rality, and don't you forget it."

A Country Snake Villi tne City aud Creates a Seueatlon Considerable excitement .was created in the neighborhood of Fiflh and Mulberry streets on Monday afternoon, by a colored woman from the country, who, while stop ping at the residence uf a gentleman, trying to dispose of some article the product of her industry, suddenly experienced no un pleasant seijSitipii, which caused her to give her skirts a shake, when out jumped a spotted snake, which commenced making its way off withj all possible speed. The cries of the wooaau and of those who wit nessed the bovel incident brought others speedily to the spot, and a posse eome-and- take-ua was soon organizsd aud a vigorous pursuit of the saucy reptile entered upon, but. without success, his snakesbip whose speed; was accelerated by the rallying shouts of the pursuers having made his escape into some of the adjoining lots. The snake is represented to have been a good sized one, but to what particular species it belonged, or how it; came to hit upon such a queer hiding place, is unknown.
