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.

' "We are willing tp admit that there is ' much need of caution' just 1 here. Dem ocrats do b under 1 sometimes and egregiously.

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 comparison. 1 -5 j IiniTIIGIlAXION FAHMING-PHOS- The South has never had much f or-f eig ' immigration j.n jn ortn , Caro lina there are probably fewer persons of : foreign birth than in any of the States.

WlLMINaXON, N C.,; FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1882. States, says that it has ; been very greatly stimulated by railroad ex tension and the opening of mines, and tnen reterring to tno t sale of lands1 it says: .; .j ; "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 the . Government sold "9,166,918 acred of land, of which amount 996,815, or 10.9 per cent - . wre locatea m the Southern. States. 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 other words the total sales have not doubled since 1879, while in the South they have in- , eteasea almost sug-iokut ; r Thc war4 wrought many jhange : other than in ffeeinff tKe Blaves and bringing down- the carpei-bag fle" " " -''-'"'"V1 !

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. " The fellow who has charge of the New -York Metropolitan Museum of Art is a fraud of the first magnitude. He has been bamboozling the New Yorkers for a long time, but his dirty tricks have been discovered and ex posed. ; This was ,the work chiefly of a Southern gentleman who was con nected with the Museum at one time.
