ijili' throughout
the country, are
alwol is tcly- sick of the mean, corrupt-.
inir methods resorted bv the Radical
party for the purpose of perpetuating
.iisolt in omce. The Mott-iLonncr raea

honi? wire-pulling - and bossing in
Virginia; the political debauchery jof
Stalwartisra- in a half-doz6nr fbt
dozen Northern States these things
have inspired opposition and created
a thorough nausea to' that "degree
that in New York and Pennsylvania,
in Ohio and "Massachusetts and else-
where the best portions ..of the Re-
nu'blican party' are "in - rebellion and
a jteat political , earthquake' makes
th it whole vast section tremble and
rock.
We do not regard the present stu
'pendoiis victory as a sign of .Repnb
licaM loss so much as a sign of tem
porary disgust and revolt. Tens of
thousands of Republicans have voted
this year for the overthrow of Boss
ism in their own party. They saw
that-if the knife was .not ap
plied, and Conklinism, Arthurism,
. Cameronism was not cut off that the
whole body would become hopeless
ly rotten. Already the most deadly
gangrene that presages death had set
in. The tim' had come for the best
men in the corrupt party i to unite in
one purpose
to reform within the
party.- To do this they have . agreed
to vote for honest Democrats for the
time. Hence the unprecedented vic
tories for our grand' old party and the
capture of the next IT. S. House. .
-( Whilst we are thus f reei to say that 1
we do not regard r the tremendous
victories our party has gained in the
North as thje work of Democrats
alone, we must believe that upon a
candid survey of the field it will-result
in good to the- party,! as well as
the country, in 1884. And .why ?,
Hecause, m answer, the very' tie
cesslty that drove tens of thousands
of self respecting Republicans to the
temporary support of the Democratic'
nominees was a confession before the
country that! their own party" had
grown so vicious and venal! that it
was a matter' of life or death. 'They
must either ' apply the, most heroic1
surgery or the party must dieThis
confession ought to cause all reflects
mg men in every section to consider
well before thev continue1 their1 alle-
giance to a party with' such a . disre-
putable history. - ' " ' '
1 he Democrats will have the next
House by a- considerable majority.

"'at wis dom, prudence, '" ' com

the election of Tuesday Legislatares
had beenhosen that will elect 12
Of these will be- Democrats 1 Wii 5
Republicans including 1 i Mahoneite.
On Tuesday : fourteen Legislatures
were elected, which w ill hoose one

' NEW HANOVER. :
In New Ilanoyer'the following ma
jorities were obtained by the Radi
cal candidates. Darby got 1200 mat
jority V Canaday" ,1182; Folk 1090;
and Dockery 1043. . The "Pee-Dee
Wagoner' did not run , as well as
Folk even. How. is that? In 1876
Canaday carried New V Hanover by
1492 -against Waddell. . This , year
he beats Green but 1182 a clear loss
of 310. So after all the Democrats
of New Hanover were awake and riot,
asleep. If all the district .had done
as welfthen "Col. t Greens majority
would-be 3,000 'instead of . some 500."
If all the State had done as well then
the majority for Bennett , would be
approximately 40,000. 1 Hurrah" for
New.IIanoYer I ". . . , , : ; ?
If we take the vote of 1880 the
showing is not so . favorable, simply
because .the Radical vote in that year
owing to want of voting facilities in
some ,01 xne warns ren on several 1
hundred. That year was not a fair
test. . e compare-above Canaday I
with Ganaday. .The election of Tues- I
day was f airly .conducted and withj ad
gain on the vote of 1876 of- 310. But
in calculating on : a basis of Jarvis'
vote in 1 1880: you must not" take the
yote'of 187& as'.we' have done" for

"The statistics relating to the sale of Gov
ernment lands-will be as much a surprise to
the public as were the .census " figures in
1880. . The Government dispdsed of 8,650,'
219 acres of 'land in 1879; : of this amount
481,174, or 5.6 per cent, were located, in
Kansas. Louisiana. Mississippi. Alabama
and Florida, the only Southern States in
which there are any public lands. -. In 1880

named above. In 1881 the ? Government
sales were 10.559.107 acres of which 1,517,-
136, or 14.1 per cent,, were Southern lands r
and in the year ending June SO, 1882, .the
Government sales reached 15,699,849 acres,'
and in the South the sales had increased to
.2,855,764, or 15 per cent, of the whole. In

It
It
has made the South more self-reliant:
It has ffiven a new-impulse to bur 5n-
dustries. It has enlarged 6ur views.
It. has opened iip new avenues of
prosperity. It has served to educate
in a certain way thousands of white
men who were ignorant and narrow
before they tried the army. But one
of the most important changes was
thro wing -, valuable and i inproved
lands into , market. - The big farms
have been to a great extent reduced
in size. The increase of small farms
all through the Soutli is most notice-
able. Ve have ho doubt that the
ease, with which pomes can be pro-
cured will cause tens of thousands of
industrious laborers to seek the South'
before 1 890 shall come. ' With a more
judicious economy and a wiser distri
bution of crops and an abandonment
of" .the mortgazinj system, farming
in - the , South must become more
orofitable in the years to come. Make
less cotton, make your home supplies,
diversify your crops, cease to mort
gage property and crops to be grown
and the South .will prosper. . Then
let us have in addition mills and fac
tories of various kinds, and ; after
awhile the South will have learned
the very important lesson of 'true in
dependence.
