The wisest men could not undertake to prophecy the result. Old stagers were not anxious to plunge into the vortex. There was a wide-spread opinion that the State at best was very uncertain. Both of pur dis tinguished Senators, when in Wil mington, a few' weeks before the election, were very doubtful as to the result. In Raleigh months be fore the election the talk among Democratic politicians was one of much uncertainty. It was not -thought to be a good year for aspir ing politicians. - The majority for Gov. Jarvis in 1880 was a little over 6,000. But the Prohibition move ment had come in with startling re sults, and long-headed calculators could not tell what effect that shak ing up of parties would 'have in the pending .. election that ' of 1882. Not only were Demo cratic politicians- at sea, as ;we have said, and their ship supposed to be leaky with sails torn and masts awry, but the old piratical craft that - had been committing depredations in , North Carolina waters since '1866, had been newly painted and freshly manned, and a number of very small boats, that ought to have kept nearer the shore, had yentured out from the mouths of creeks and were endeavor ing as infinitesimal freebooters to help the old black hulk. They ar rayed themselves under a very gauzy and greasy looking banner, , upon which was painted in flaming letters, "Liberal?' Every one of these volun teer boats all manned by Democratic deserters, was completely swamped. Not one of the hungry little fellows ever gotj one bite at the public corn eri b or secured one crumb from the State table. They were washed ashore in a battered condition and some of them are still hanging around Uncle Sam's big swill tub 'hankering and begging. They will hardly get ; one sop, as Cleveland will clean out the whole concern when he gets into power. ; - . ' - . Such was the condition pf political affairs in 1882, when Judge Bennett was nominated, . lie yeilded to the call of 1 his party, although to do so was to give np his seat on the Supe rior Court Bench and to meet the great hazard of defeat. He made the canvass. The circumstances were extraordinary. It was confidently believed in Raleigh that Judge Ben-, nett and Senator : Vance were i.he only two men in all North Carolina who could carry the State for the Democrats; In that belief CoL Ben-. nett was asked to give up a certainty for an uncertainty. He did not hesi tate. He accepted the leadership one almost of a forlorn hope and after a - hard fight he beat the enemy. We well remember talking with intelligent gentlemen in this cityt The opinion was that our chances were bad and that Bennett was our safest chance. 1 He did not disap- , point his friends. . It is true his ma jority was small-ronly a little over 400 bnt it is altogether probable that no other man in the State but Gov. Vance would have done so welL .

I The New York Times thinks the sole object of old Ben Butler is to play into the hands of Blaine and defeat Cleveland. Of course he can have no Other object. The!: old ras cal acted with the Republicans for ten or twelve I years,; doing all he could to outrage the South. After he had got all he coald hope for ' -, i i " - 1 f! f. from that party he pretended to ber come a Democrat again, a party he had deserted, aud to be the special chamoion of Door men. An arrant old fraud ! His- effrontery a. and ira? padence are something marvellous in this very "cheeky" age.' No man. of . a spark of honor would act as h does. . .wo. man oi any ueceucy ui iu- tegrity would go as a del egate to a Convention and after pledging himj self to abide by the decisions to then bolt and set up as a candidate him self. He is a very poor stick of a fellow who will act in that way. The1 Times says of himr I "He went to the Democratic National Convention this year as a delegate at large after the Greenback and Anu mouopoiy narties had offered him their nominations. That was a position which no man of the? least principle could nave taxen, out ne hoped to work the Democracy of the coun try as he had worked the Democracy of . . . - i - Aiassacnaseua. ' rie was engagca in - a ue traval of those who had already nominated him, for, to submerge them in the Demo cratic party would have been to defeat their horjes and destroy their organized ex istence. At Chicago the - Massachusetts delegation extorted from him a pledge that he would support the nominations thre to bs made. He gave that pledge i before the nominations were mane, . and now ne re- oudiates it. betraying those who for sev eral years have supported him I in Massa chusetts and those with whom he acted at Chicago." T COUNT GOVERNMENT A WARN : ING. The county government f as it now exists in North. Carolina is an absoi lute necessity. Without it twenty)- I five or twenty-six counties. are at the I mercy of ignorant negroes who have never learned to distinguish between rnine and thine. The property own ers under such rule have no protect tion. They are liable to be robbed heavily, as they were once, u the forms of law, and to have their i : . "i . . . .it substance wasted, liring back the condition of things familiar to the people of New Hanover, Edgecombe, Warren, Granville and other large I tax-paying counties and place the fi I nances arrain under the control of thb negroes and j their , prospects will be blighted as with mildew or the siroc co's breath. If you doubt this then you are blind and ignorant and without ex cuse. Read the following from the Warrenton Jlome-Jo-urnal, and yon will have an example of how even J the fear of a change affects an im I portant enterprise. It says "A prominent lawyer from a neighbor hood told us a few vdays ago that he knew a man that was anxious to erect a large cotton factory in Warren county, but that he hesitated to do so because he heard there were a few men in the county who were. opposed to the county government system. He said that he would not invest capital in any county where there was a probability of ignorance getting control of the county arxairs. Not only will a change of county government blight and destroy the prosperity of .twenty odd counties, but the. fear of. change keeps ont capitahdestroys confidence; paralyzes industry and makes men dissatisfied and distrustful. , ' ' ; The Executive Committee of t he National Democratic Committee held & session in New "York on Mono" a v. Senator Ransom was presnt: he reDoru received are or an nnnnr. aging character. Cleveland's strength is represented as steadily growing. Both Senators Gorman and Jonas isay that the outlook is most favorable. Mr. Walter Bonn, the clerk of the State Democratic Committee, tells the New York Herald: ; r I "We have returns from a thousand elec V:. 1 tion districts in the State, and in ninety-five I cent- of tne8e itota five to seventy-five I Other returns indicate that Democrats who 1 fe?or to Subsequent to the nomination, I 5!!IlI!Pfe f forward to support the regular Democratic 1 tocket- . i, ,.. , w.-,...,.-;.. Heman Raster, editor of tho Statt, Zedong t :Bays "three-fourths of 1 the German Republicans in Illinois I will vote for Cleveland." jrHB CHARGE OF CAPfNIBAII8HI f It is to be hoped that for the sake of the American name and humanity1 that the -awful stories concerning the Cannibalism of the Greely party may turn oat to bo a cruel fabrication. It mast be admitted, . however, 'that there is some ground-for tha charge. The fact that the New York : Times is the first paper to publish the hide ous charge gives color, to the story for that paper is not a Bensational and I mpons.n.e paper given u nu.... ing wiia yarns wiur nu iuuimnn in 'fact. - If ,the rovoltingi'charges Rhnuld ba found true it will do more to break np the fool-hardy, vain-glorious, and even inhuman at tempts to push farther intoHbe fro regions than anything else could uor lint what a stigma uib laci, it , - . '- ' . it should turn out' to be the fact, would fasten upon the Greely partyi jand what a reflection it would; be upon the humanity, heroic endurance and fortitude of the American char- iacter. r Again, we say, wo sincerely trust that the awful accusation may turn out to be utterly groundless.! If, untrue, what an inexcusable - ana shameful assault upon the living and. the dead upon a band of heroes who risked so much and underwent such - terrible sufferings for an idea, for an aspiration. VITAL STATISTICS IMPORTANT. " The Sanitarian complains ; that many towns and cities destroy the real value of health reports by over- estimating the population, it is strange what a desire there is in peo ple to exaggerate everything and especially population and the weather A town credited with 12,000 people when it has but 10.000 or less sol ?m; i h health ""V" . statistics as to - make them practi cally of no utility." The real, object ought to be to ascertain the I true condition of a community as to health, but reporters seem to think that the v must add a tenth or twentieth to the population in order to minify the death rate. All the towns) , with but i are . exceptions, place the population at a higher figure than the facts justify. We be lieve that this rule prevails in this State generally. This is a matter in which wo all ought to be honest. By taking as a basis for calculation ' ex cessive figures will not really- alter the fact of the death rate although people may be deceived. Every man and. woman has a right to know, pre cisely what is the ratio of deaths to population. Wo do not mean to in sinuate that the reporters purpose to deceive. They accept the exag ger at ed estimates of the communi ties as to population, and then base' their calculations upon the excess. We are glad the Sanitarian has called attention to this matter. Vital statistics can only be of service when the two factors population and deaths are correctly given. We believe the catenations for Raleigh, Charlotte and Wilmington are based on too much supposed population. iWe note in the reports of mortali ty' statistics that Lynchburg,' Va., remains by far the sickliest' place in the uuited states, and not lor a week or two weeks, but for months, ami, we suppose, for yearn. New Orleans, in the last report, showed 35.5 deaths to the 1,000 inhabitants; whilst; Lynchburg reported 48.4 to the 1,000. : Mobile is next to New Orleans 33.3. This was for May. We have seen no later reports. Sixteen leading Republicans ; in Buffalo have issued an address Tela'- tive to the charges against Cleve land. They have made a thorough investigation. I They say "the gen eral charges of drunkenness and gross immorality which are made against Governor Cleveland are absolutely false. His reputation for morality has alwas been good. There is no foundation for any statement to tho contrary." . - Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls have set other. American publishers an ex cellent example. They paid Daudet, a French novelist, for the right to publish his works. His new novel, "Sappho," was rather nasty and they declined to publish it, although' pay ing full for the right. . In Wisconsin it js certain ' that the- Repnblicans are bolting Blaise. The three German papers are all sup porting; Cleveland. -The Catholic Citizen is out against the "tattooed man." If Vilas will run it is believed that he will stand an excellent chance for election.

Rlcaud; R. H. HcEoy and J. T. Elliott appeared for the defence, having been assigned by the Court, and Solicitor B. R- Moore was as sisted in the prosecution by Mr. J.' P. Bel lamy, Jr. . , i . , ' The evidence was to the effect that Mrs. Oriffln was aroused by a noise resembling the shaking of a window blind,; and Mr. Griffin went out to see what it meant, but found everything all rteht., Another time he was awakenedtby his wife with the same information, and this time he found a door opening -on the back piazza slightly ajar, when he returned and discovered man lying on the dining tjom table, apparently feigning sleep. Mrs. G. described him as lying oa his stomach, with his bead slight ly raised, so that she, could see that; his eyes were open.; one saw tnem piainiy. Mr. Griffin asked the man what he was do ing, there two or three times,' and the fel low made no reply. Becoming incensed at the intruder's seeming stubbornness be finally struck him, and then the man (the prisoner at the bar) jumped from the table iand a scuffle ensued, during which Air. u. received several cuts about' the forehead and face. In the midst of the scuffle, which commenced in the dining room and was continued into the children's room, Mrs. G. attempted to lift a lighted lamp and place it upon the mantle-piece, when the prisoner struck her and came near making her drop the lamp. Mr. G: called for his pistol, but she was afraid to get it for fear I the burglar would knock it out ol her band. She finally went over to the residence of Mr, Eugene Knight, in the same neighborhood, land told him that a man was in their bouse and U-yingto kill Mr. Griffin. He put on his clothing and hurried to Mr. G.'s resi dence, but the , prisoner was gone. ' This be about the prisoners size and build hang ing around Mr. G.'s house Saturday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock.

When arrested he was coatless, bareheaded and barefooted,and upon finding that be was about to be taken to the uard house he asked the officers to go with him to Mr. Griffin's to get his shoes. The request was complied with, and the shoes were found under - the dining room table and given to him. It was shown by the defence that the prisoner claimed to have been on a drunken frolic and that he got into Mr. Griffin's house by mistake and really didn't know where he was; and it was also said in his favor that when 'taken into custody he shoWed no disposition to resist or to tiy to get, a way. Soon after leaving Mr. Griffin's house Mr. N. Carr encountered Jones near the Fifth street crossing over- the railroad, and, surprised at his appearance, asked him what was the matter, when he said he had been in a fight Mr. Carr tried to get him to tell where the fight was, but he (the prisoner) - would "not tell. Mr. Carr told him he had better go back and get his clothing, but Jones remarked that he was. afraid they would kill him." Mr. C described the time and manner of his fina arrest, as did Mr. Knight . It was in evidence that the rod attached to the window blinds was broken and also one of the fastenings. At the conclusion , of the testimony. about half-past 9 o'clock, the Court ad journed until 10 o'clock to-day, when argu ment begins. Are V to have a Senry Berry Lowrey Gibe In Wllmlaetaaf A regular band of desperadoes, some thing after the order of the Henry Berry Lowrey outlaws, which caused such a reign pf terror in Robeson county some years ago, seems now to be infesting this city and lis sudutds, under tue leadersnip or the no torious Fompey Sneed, who was recently outlawed by two justices of the peace of this county. There are Said to be five in the gang, and they arp armed with rifles, revolvers, knives, &c. Three of them, more bold than the others, are often seen in the northern 'suburbs at dances and other frolics, and threatening messages . .. are al moat nightly sent to certain officers, for whom Sneed in particular has .conceived a dislike. The three who . keep mostly together are Pompey Sneed. Geo. Yann and Austin Campbell, commonly known by the nick-name of ' Tautua" There is said to be so doubt that Pompey Sneed and one of his comrades in crime fired, the shots that so badly injured Caleb Blount, colored, two or three weeks ago, and it Is said that the ivory-handled pistol that was pickled up on the street after the shooting belonged to Sneed, or was forcibly taken by him : from a boy in the northeastern section of the city.' Some of the gang were heard to boast of the way they settled Caleb Blount, and they say it was at first proposed ! to 'shoot him in the head and kill him, but the ma jority said shoot him In the legs.

Two. one; Ladle " Saves f frei Drerrnlns by an Oerole Fisherman." On Sunday last there-: was a narrow es cape from a terrible accident at the "Rocks" off Tort Fisher.:. It seems that, several young ladies were in bathing near the rock. wall 'Which closes- what was- formerly known as the New Inlet, when three of the party (Misses Hattio and Bessie .Taylor, daughters, of Col John DTaylor, , and Miss Annie Meares,) suddenly .found them selves in water bevond their depth. .

Fortunately, a fisherman came along In his - boat at the critical, mo ment, and, 'seeing one young lady strug gling for her life, and being told that her elder sister had already sunk, he threw an oar within reach of the struggling one, when,' with her little remaining strength she managed to throw one arm over: the timely support and was thus sustained un til she ' was washed 'ashore, which ;she reached In aa insensible condition. In the meantime the noble fisherman, whose name we did not ascertain, seeing nothing of the missing young lady, fpiickly plunged Into the water and found Her apparently lifeless. form upon the bottom, where she was ; ly-. ing . as quietly, as if reposing' in Sleep. -" "v u' .

The first reports were received from the following points: Atlantic Highlands, near Sandy Book; Long Branch, Philadelphia, New Haven, Boston.

The Charge of Cannibalism State- amenta of Membera of be Resealne; Party What Genu Hizea has to Say About the Alatter The Ch arse Nel ther Denied Nor Admitted. - Wabhinqton. August 12. A rumor was afloat here last week that the records of the Navy Department showed that the rescued members of Lieut Greely 's parly had partially sustained life upon the nesu ot their dead comrades and was at. that lime emphatically denied by Rear Ad- niirai. jsicnois,vacung secretary of me Navy. A circumstantial account of this alleged cannibalism, published in the New XOrK lines, this morning, .was shown to Admiral Nichols to day, and his comment was that there . are no records at the Navv. Department which would give a shadow of foundation for such a story. He added that he did not believe there was anv truth in it Secretary Chandler has been absent from the city for several weeks; but has, of course, been constantly in communication with the Department, and a great many : important documents have been sent to him, so that Admiral Nichols statement that there are no documents bearing upon me matter at me department is not neces sarily conclusive as to 'their non-existence The story is,, however," wholly discredited at the ' Navy ' Department, while, at the same time, army and navy officers concede tne possibility that the-facts may be as stated.' ."!v. j.-; New York, Aug. 12. A reporter to day showed Commander Schley, chief officer of the ureeiyreiier expedition, the published story of Greely and his comrades' canni balism. Commander Schley" said, immedi ately, and with great indignation, "There is not a word of truth in that story. , You need not show it to. me, for I have read it It has been manufactured out of the whole cloth, and if I were Lieut Greely I shouid take legal steps against the paper that pub lished the outrageous statement Now, re garding some of the specific charges. It is true that I did suggest to Secretary Chan-' dler that the bodies should be placed in me tallic cases. This I did, because I thought that they woakfbe better protected jn this, way. These casketawere not all bolted or riveted, but they were simply closed in the usual way. It has been stated :thaVthe bodies were; placed in metallic cases so that the friends of the dead, could not get at them, and that with the assistance of a few men who assisted in removing the bodies no one on the relief Ships saw them. This is all false. : The bodies lay on the deck of the Thetis several days, and there was hardly a sailor on the ships . who did not see and touch them, for we were obliged to keep ice on them aU the time. . It is said that 1 communicated to Secretary Chandler and Gen. Hazen, at Portsmouth, on August 2nd, facts leading to the conclusion that that these men had eaten up their com panions. This I deny. I made no such communication to cither of these gentlemen. I do not think there was any cannibalism practiced by ureely or his men. i know nothing about this business, nor did I order an investigation." j i Dr. Ames, surgeon of the Bear, corrobo rated all that Commander Schley said, and added, regarding the story about the Ger man.'who is reported when the sailors lifted him up to have said, "Must I be killed and eaten as Henry was ?" I say I questioned these men and theylposilively denied that lie. made , any such remark.- I attended that man afterwards; he was delirious and did not know what he ' said, but he never while I was near him said anything about Henry or any one else being eaten. I do not think there is a word of truth i in the story that Dr. Green and myself laid all the bodies Out They were, of course, nothing but skin and bone, but with the exception of one ot the men whose back was broken, they were all right; that is they did not look as if they had been mutilated or as if the fleshihad been eaten off of them; Lieut - Colwcll, ; first officer of the Bear, said: "I wrapped the bodies of the dead up and the sailors removed them to : the launch. . I did not notice any sign of muti lation about them." .Lieut Colwell did, however, say that he had' heard rumors about the Greelysurvivors having eaten the bodies of their comrades. He would not state where be had. beard them or what he thought of them. j Aniong'the sailors of the Bear and Thetis there is an air of mystery and all sorts of stories are afloat but their statements are conflicting, and it is hard to know what they know or what they think. ? : I - ! Geo. Gavell, captain of the "top? of the Thetis, is a most' intelligent young seamen, and tells a very straightforward story. . He says: "I dug ten of the dead bodies up. They were only covered with a thin layer of sand. I saw nothing about them that suggested cannibalism. There was some little flesh on them. They were not frozen I hard when we found them and their nesh and skin were quite soft The bodies lay on deck ten days and we all saw them. The German who is reported to have said, 'must I be killed and eaten as Henry 'was?' did not make any such remark., -When he saw us coming to him he saidr 'I knew theYahkees would come and find us.' One or two of the sailors said that if they were discharged they would have a story to tell, but they did not care to say anything now." Sergeant Braihard. one of the survivors, is reported to have kept a diary.and in it to have stated that one of the party had to be sacrificed to keep the rest alive. Seaman Gaylor, who became quite intimate with Brainard on the voyage home, said Brai nardrefcrredtoa dog,and not a man; When he wrote the above entry. ' ; Gen. Hazen," Chief Signal officer, was in terviewed by an Associated Press reporter to-day, on the subject of the alleged canni balism of the Greely party.' He was at first inclined to deny entirely that there was any foundation of fact for the stories, "but submitted good natnredly to a searching cross examination, in the course of which the following occurred: -Reporter Did you hear any rumors while at Portsmouth that dead men had been eaten ? Hazen--There were rumors of that kind afloat My official position would not permit me to give the, facts in the case. - ' ' Q .There, are facts then ? s A. I cant answer that I had a long interview with Lieut Greely, but the subject of eating bodies was not referred to. .lean imagine a case when cannibalism would be justifia ble, and it would be a case where men are starving. : . .. . : f ; '"' Q. Do you excuse cannibalism in the Greely case? A.-rUnder the circumstances it would be excusable. .7 i ' Q. Has Secretary Chandler received any report ! relative to-this subject? A. Not that I know of . I have received none. ' Q. Is the report that private Henry was shot and afterwards eaten false? (A. There were rumors at Portsmouth that he had been killed and that the survivors had eaten his body, but I ' decline to give any facts in his case that I might know.- ' Q. Will the' shooting be the subject of investigation by the War Department? A. Not necessarily. Men are shot every day in mutinies, and no investigation is made. Under some circumstances it might be pro- ner. . ' . i O.. Will there be any investigation of I the eating -of bodies?.. A. An iuyestiga- uon couia not ne . maae Dy ciuier po n ar or N avy ' Department That is a matter that Congress will have to look into, i It is probable that a Congressional investigation will be made next winter, when all the facts in the matter will be presented, and until then nothing will be given out i Q. Why was it necessary to place the .remains in metal coflins thoroughly bolted, and then to telegraph that they should not be opened under any circumstance T A. While the bodies were frozen they would not decompose. .-.-It was. thought best to place them in metallic caskets so that the gas escaping from them would not buret the coffins, and then it was thought their friends would . not want to look at the re mains, and the order was given not to; open the caskets. : '-"''"" ; Gen.
