"lie tays be is pri pared to prove this. '; . ' . '1 Thin, may be strictly true, and still th- i-t remains that returns from Oui- in October were withheld, and returns from West Virginia' were withheld for days. All know how it was with the returns from New York In that State it was known who was .elected thlTday after the election. The vote as published .in the New York Times on Wednesday is nearly the. vole as HnaHv -'published. ' Anr"vet it was ten days before the Associated Pr.-.-s. gave the facts to-the country, Z W ho was to blame for this great outrage - upon the whole country? jThe outrage was perpetrated system atically and deliberately responsible for it? . . Who is i- It is a fact that very much damage vk- done to the different eections. Mr. Si one, the President of the As sociated PresF, is - also editor of the New Yt k Journal of - Commerce, He is a irtan of high character. JTe can be , trusted if Whitelaw Reid, editor of the Tribune can pot be trusted. Mr. Stone says, in his pa per of the 24th inst.: . . : ' The loss to the country by the days of ' dout'i ud uncertainty which .followed the laur li-ciL u ran hardly .be overestimated. Trace -n interrupted-, values were every whi re in a tilt d and fears of an attettDt to set aide the verdict of : the people were eveiy wh n-1 rtvalent among the people of all iniiii 8 This was not due, wholly Or chitfli. to the number'' of candidates and the ut!a s incident to the counting of the "t 1 .

That paper now glands before the public as ifD Dsible for. tbe publication 'day aftt r iiay of returns shown to be wholly ctiuiu8 " , . - - '.-v.,,.!. his is the :dirty sheet that South ern men have been swearing by. This is the villainous paper that caused so many men to lose heavily by its false returns. There is not the slightest doubt that Whitelaw Reid, and pos sibly Jay Gould, are responsible for the great wrong inflicted. They came near precipitating - riots in many places, and especially' in their , own great city. The question is one that concerns all honest and - fair men of ail parties and sections. The Journal of Commerce continues: , - ; i. "Tbe honest Bepublicans are quite as in dignant at this misrepreseatation- as the Democrats. A, few . who were behind, the, scenes may have been enabled to settle some of their bets, of to hedge for the benJ efitof their pockets, but the majority jbf that party who supporsed that the Tribune was dealing honestly with-them in the re-; turns it was printing were misled to their sore discomfiture-and subsequent grievous mortification. ' The iact that in the days of its former proprietor the Tkibune had ob tained a reputation for accuracy and im- pamai nonesty in us eiecuon tames oniy aggravated the diaeust of those who found that they had been betrayed by a represen- lauon so wiue 01 me irutn. . "i This able and. reliable paper shows conclusively the one-sided character of the Tribune's; table, but we have not space to reproduce what it says. The matter is to be fully inquired into. Reid is denying and trying to shiftthe responsibility.: The Journal of Commerce says: - .- ' . ,. .; i . "He will find it difficult we think, to shitt that responsibility from -himself to the shoulders of tbe other members of the committee; but whatever tbe truth mav be. it will be duly ascertained, and whatever correction may he needed will be promptly applied.' ' -.- . r ,:r-- ,; .:v; m "We leave the Tribune o answer' for itself to its readers and the eeneral nublia who have been so shamefully . misled and ucirayea oy 11s claims ana pretenses iron the morning after the election to the . date when it was impossible for any report to uiiiai me irum n naa wiuiueia so long. ii a paner. alter such h. eonnt. can nt&in the support Of its readers, then it must have a clientage who have an appetite for par tisan falsehood.' EXPERIENCING A CHANCE. - It is said to be a fact that there is a work of inversion going on among me uaouues ot Washington ana the JSC V " 7 .

Men who voted and labor ed tor Kepublican perpetuity "have VOL. XVI. been so operated upon - recently that they are now Being tbe error of their bad "ways and having wpented". them selves they are quite willing to :con tinae to serve' the new "bosses.' A special from Washington the Charles" ton Ifete and Courier a&jBi 't ' ; "In a hasty visit among these same offi cers . to day , not one , of , these men cooli be found who intended to resign or give notice that his place is at the disposal of the incoming Secretary. LOutside of the Assistant Secretary's office the people con nected with the Secetary in personal capa cities and the chiefs' of important bureaus appointed for, political reasons, all were full of reasons why they should stay;" their places had nothing to do with politics; they could not be spared, and ' they wished to give G rover. Cleveland a chance to demon strate his thoroughness as a civil service reformer, : No one intended to resign. , The other departments are in exactly the same situation. Democratic Congressmen are already .relied upon as .'influence, and those in office will stay asjoag astfiey can." Civil seryice rules will b obserr-r ed, no doubt by Mr. "Cleveland.1, Brit' the more offensive officials wbo come under the rules of the civil service will no doubt have to walk the plank, conversion r no conversion, new THANKSGIVING SER.VON. ' By a vote of the Conference Bishop Linus j Parker preached the Thanks- ; giving Sermon, before a large audi ence in tbe Front Street Chnrdj.' It was a very appropriate and impress ive discourse.-' -'It had the same cha racteristics of thought and treatment that; marked his 'Sunday sermon--". clear, vigorous, luminous; the style simple . and ; the . arrangement . com prehensive and. admirable; the lan guage accurate choice, felicitous of ten ; the sweep of thought wide and with enough, of fervor to drive it home. Said Dr. Wilson, of the Pres byterian Church, himself ,'an- elegant writer, to ns; "It was a -very ; fine sermon the eloquence or tnougm. ,- Said the editor of the N. C. Presbyte rian to us; vYou said Bishop Parker was not a great preacher. But I think that , was great preaching." We thought "it highly intellectual, forceful, interesting preaching. The Bishop is ' evidently an uncommonly strong man, and if his. temper and spirit are sweet the General Confer ence made no mistake; in raising him to the Episcopal Bench. He careful ly minds the discipline, we noticed, taking no liberties in the service. He would do well to j lecture on that subject , He was careful to read the lessons and to 'repeat the Lord's Prayer. . ...,. ' . . The following 4b a brief skitch'of him, taken from the Raleigh Advo cate:, . ' . ' ,;- 1 "Bishop Linus Parker. D. D , ia a native of the State of New York. : He was born in Roma N. Y., in 1829, hence he is now 55 years- of age. When a boy he removed from New York to Louisiana, and was emploved as a clerk in - a dry goods store. While in this store he aid the foundation of his intellectual growth by rising very early in the morninff and studying Greek and Latin before the regular business hours oi we aay. Me was copvenea wnen quite young, and entered me ministry in ine Louisiana Conference in bis twenty-first year-";- - ' - ; - -COLORED POETS. A negro by the name of Albery A. Whitman' has published a volume of poema. We have not seen it, but the Chicago Current, that ought to be good authority, ": speaks ' highly of it and says it is "worthy of a high posi tion in American literature." , We are not disposed to underrate.: the productions of any man and we would not unjustly depreciate the in tellectual children of the colored man. But poetry is poetry and criti cism is criticism. The Current copies four extracts from - Whitman's offer ings and we may suppose that they were- not the worst, &nd doubtless they;. were selected as among the best - We are constrained to say that the specimens of the Whitman m.ase do not impress us as of exceptional cleverness.. If poetry at all they do notr surely belong to that; class that have taken "a high position ra Ameri can" literature." We copy two of the extracts as they appear in the Chica go journal: Speaking of Mammon: "If earth were freed from those who buy - . and sell. -' ' ' : . , ; It soon were free from most or all its ills; For that which makes it, most of all, a hell. Is what the stingy purse of Fortune fills: The man -' who blesses and the man who - kills, -Oft have a kindred purpose after all " Again: ; - ' - " "What is there now of gods and Mikadoos, And dukes and lords and other titled , - things, In this Jive age T this busy world profuse With evolution." - j In our school : days, when at the "University, there was a colored man who used to write verse by the foot iq more senses than one. He pub lished a volume and he was held in much favor by the students for whom he indited love compositions in verse for a1 small consideration. We re member to have patronized his ready mase on more thah one occasion pay ing for .each instalment the raagnifi' cent sum of twenty-five cents. George Haughton had .very clever powers as a rhymesternd had ideas that if not highly poetical were not infrequently above commonplace. ' He mav not have understood English prosodv as ell 5 as Whitman does but we sus pect he had ;.-drunk deepeiof the .irienan bpnng. . The Atlanta (6a.) negroes, held a mass meeting and cheered for Cleve land. , What next ? , f r.t ' 1 'K !

We believe ourselves that the main cause of the 'large' majority was the attempt to revive the infamous social equality law? The white men of North' Carolina mean to govern and any attempt. !toJ degrade ; them and their children,' will be resented.

We doubt if i the rascal s record lost him a dozen votes in the State. . ,. ..: ,.- . . - - ..' Rev. Joseph . Lee, colored, was chairman of the ' Florida delegation that nominated Blaine. He says: " "I believe. Mr. Cleveland to be honest in what he says ia relation to mv race, and that he will try to carry It out. The effect will be to unite both tbe whites and blacks. and antagonisms will cease. All we ask is a fair chance and fair treatment. There are many good men in the Democratic party, and I don't think they .will allow our rights to be abridged... Some of my people have been alarmed by false reports of designing men. The election in this State, as far as 1 know, was nonest and fair. jThe Democratic: ticket sot the most votes and won." ,En , ,r.,j: : ;V We are glad to Bee that the pres ent Lord Lytton (l'Owen Meredith") does j; not agree with some of the criticisms upon Mary Anderson in the London papers. - A dispatch says : "Lord Lytton. in a long study published in tbe Nineteenth Century, upon Mary An derson's Juliet, declares that the criticisms in some of the London papers are . mislead ing. So far from revealing incapacity to portray passion, she was full of feeling and tenderness, and in some passages was pro foundly touchme. . Lord Lytton says be has seen many Juliets, but Mary Anderson's wes tbe only one that ever drew a tear from him. Ellen Terry was thought to be charm- ins: in tbe lighter touches, but is certainly inferior la depth and tenderness." Poor Tourgee is in trouble.

The State conventions.' nearly a hundred m number, and the National con ventions of all political organizations were reported with thoroughness and rapidity surpassing anything ever before attempted. The 1 subsequent . official action of party committees, addresses and move ments of candidates were carefully, pro vided for under instructions similar in lan guage and spirit It has never been con sidered as jfithin the legitimate functions: of this non-partisan Association to report or dinary campaign meetings or: to : trausmit scandals that spring up during such heated periods. All such have been rigorously ex cluded from the' Associated Press dis patches. The charge that election returns in the State of New York were withheld is disprovd by tbe faet that, out of a total of 1,099 wards and towns in tbe Slate the As sociated Press received on election night re turns from 630; whereas, in 1876,. returns were received from only 254, and in 1880, from: only 293.

Undertook to estimate the actual plurality,' and by this process figured out a plurality of 473 for Blaine. The sub-agent in charge of the office sent this out without sufficient scru tiny, but it was corrected as soon as its in accuracy was positively ascertained. In regard to this error the committee find no evidence of any intentional wrong-doing on the part of the sub agent : From the. first to the last there was no effort to control or affect the returns by any member of the committee in any interest' nor any inter ference ; of any t sort- and tbe general in structions under which the work was done were strictly fair, non partisan, and more thorough and minute tnan ever before. : 1 - .

Nor, r26 Tbe Courier Journal recently sent a staff correspondent to investigate the reported ravaees of a dread disease in Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia, ' ine correspondent sends tbe following from Williamsburgr Ky. :. W. C. Lester, a prominent attorney of this place, has just arrived from Mount Pleasant- the county seat of Harlan, where he has been for two weeks past at court, as acting pros cutintr attorney. Mr; Lester . has informs tion of the ' prevailing- plague, principally from Harlan, : Letcher, r Perry, Leslie and Pell counties. - He says that in Harlan it appears worst and is most fatal, and pre vails to tne greatest extent about tne head waters of Poor Ford and Clover Creek, in the mountains,, about twenty-five miles from Mount Pleasant This large territory is being terribly afflicted ; -people dying very rapidly, m one neighborhood twelve persons: died in a single--day in the latter part, of last week, and there were scarcely well . people enough to make their coffins and bury them. On Bramer's Creek. which rises in Harlan, the disease is raging with frightful fatality and there is no means of keeping a record of the dead. All along the bank of the stream- people are sick and .without physicians and medicines, outside of herbs and roots. The epidemic is rapidly spreading in uarian county, in tne dis trict' covering the southern portion of Letcher and Perry, the whole of Leslie and the southwest portion of Bell counties, the plague has obtained xootnold, but reports as to its virulence are conflicting. Mr. Lester thinks the deaths run up into the bun dreds while the number of those attacked . cannot be estimated. . The disease does not prevail at Mt Pleasant Mr. Lester further says that no one seemed to know the exact nature of the pestilence. , Most of the peo ple call it "flux," and it is probably a very aggravated iorm or mat disease, it begins with grioins pains in the stomach.f ollowed by debilitating diarrhoea and swelling of, tbe throat, and u not fatal in three or four days the patient as a rule recovers. . All reports agree as to the cause of the epi demic, it being attributed to the use 01 im pure water by the natives, the streams as a rule consisting only 01 small in reads 01 murky foul-smelling and fool-tasting water.'
