Had it not been for misplaoed confidence he wonld have been de- - feated in the electoral college as well as at the Dolls, and Mr. Cleveland would be President to-day instead of Mr. Harrison. There are thousands of good, honest Republicans and good, honest, non-partisan voters who are sorry that he is not, and who now regret the votes they oast which helped to put Mr. Harrison in Mr. Cleveland's plaoe. From his reoord as a civil service reformer .while in the Senate they believed that if elect cd to the Presidency he would be a reform President and not a mere par tisan, co-operating with and nnder J the influence of the machine manipu lators of bis party. In this they were mistaken, and they see it now too late to undo the harm they did, bat not too late to regret it. We are -reminded of this by a condensed account of an interview with Judge Gresham which appeared in the Stab of Sunday, in which the Judge gave his opinion of Cleve land and Harrison, drawing the oon traat strikingly in favor; of the for mer. J udge Gresham is a Republi can, has always been a Republican, and was the choioe of a very large number of delegates in the last Na tional Republican Convention for the office which Mr. Harrison now holds. The probabilities are that if he had been willing to 30 into the trading and combining business he might have reoeived the nomination which fell to Mr. Harrison by the pre-t concerted withdrawal of candidate Blaine, in consideration of which withdrawal Mr. Blame beoame, as a part of the compact, Secretary of State. Blaine and the Blaineites did, not. want Gresham because, they knew that they could not use hmf and hence they threw their weight for and entered into a compact with the man they could best use. J udge Gresham is not the kind of a man, however, who would be apt" ttTjndge harshly or with prejudice tbe man who had beaten him for the nomination simply because he did beat him. That is not in keeping with his reputation, whioh is that of a candid and fair-minded man, whose opinions on the bench and off of it are spoken with honest firmness and. manly candor, as a judge high above party, as a citizen independent enough to approve or disapprove in dependent of party. The opinion of such a man amounts to something, not simply because it is his opinion, . but because he is one of a class of independent think ers numerous enough to make their power felt when they choose to as sert it and act in unison. They' elected Harrison, they couldhave de feated him, and with the experience tbey have had of. misplaced confi dence, there is no reason why they should not desire and work for his - -defeat in the event of his renomina tion, if they be really as honest and as patriotios they profess to be and as we take it for granted they are Since his entry into the Presiden tial office Mr.'.Harrison has not done one single aot to commend him to the continued support of the non partisan, independent voter, save the dismissal of Tanner, and that was not done till after a dallying pro crastination and compromising sub serviency which robbed the act of all the credit which might have attached to it if it had been done promptly and before public opinion made it more a matter of necessity than of choioe. Tanner beoame Commissioner of Pensions fa pur suance of a bargain entered into be fore Harrison became President, and he acted from the first as if he were a "biger man" than Harrison Harrison seemed to concede -and the claim by letting him run in his wild, lawless career until he bad involved the Administration in complications lrom which it will take all the inge nuity of. a much, abler man than Mr. garrison to extricate it. In his vacillating conduct towards Tanner, and in his disreputable alliance with Billy Mahone, of Virginia, and Chal " mere, of Mississippi has shown him aelf to be simply a partisan and the colleague of partisans, ready to com- promise the dignity hi. high office to promote party success, and as far rom the broad-viewed, liberal-mind- d, patriotic "statesman, as light is from darkness. No wonder that Judge Gresham draws a striking con trast between him and the man who for the four years before him filled with such signal ability, and with uch credit to the country and V limself, the offioe whioh the present incumbent fills withjno credit.to an j will h As time rolls on the contrast ill become still more striking. j STATU TOPICS). Among other things, in the days cone by, Nash oounty used to be - . -. - faraons for her royal "peach and honey." and same oookslthatihad a world-wide celebrity. She hadgame people,- i6o.J Untilj,recentIy ootton was her - staple crop, but she has within the past few. years stepped to the front as a Tobacco growing oounty and now shakes her banners defiantly in the face of the older tobacco counties, which 'thought jhf y Lad ttbe "bright leaf" business all to themselves. Nashville has be come a tobacoo market, a warehouse I having been ereoted there 'by Mr. Ed. M Pace, for years identified with tbat business inDanville, Ya., and wbo understand it thoionghly Tbe house was opened with a big sale one day last week, and closed with one of those original concep tions .for which Mr. Pace is some what famous. It was nothing more nor less than tbe sale to the highest bidder of a "young lady" who was "knocktd down," figuratively, on a $7,000,000 bid by an enterprising citizen. The tobacco is said to have sold well, but the girl didn't, for $7,000,000 is "dirt cheap" for a. fair, average, North Carolina, Nasb oounty girl. Ed. must start up on a livelier Pace than tbat, if selling girls is to b one of the regular fea tures of bis sales. 1 The moving of brick "bouses is not an uncommon thing these day?, the appliances for this purpose baving been so perfected that very large buildings are moved with absolute safety. The first woik of this kind done in this State of whioh we have any knowledge was done last week io Greensboro when the brick building on the north eide of tbe R. & D track was moved backto make room for additional tracks and- a wider platform. It was somewhat of a cu riosity to unsophisticated sovereigns wbo had never seen a brick building orawl in tbat way before. jonOj ituDioson s circus swung -T v..

The arous is an Ameri vu lUBuiuuon wnicn will live as long as the Republic, but ai a de moralizer and a first-class nuisance it out ranks any other institution eta tionary or peripatetic extant. When it sir.kes a town the town capitulates, and everybody, from the toddler old enough to admire the boss elephant, to me venerable sire not too old to have lost his interest in elephantine wonders or tent curiosities generally, loses his head and sbuoks out bis small change with amazing prodi gality, while tbe circus man rakes it 10 with amazing dexterity. It is not simply fn the amount ofgmoney the ciroos.carnes away that it does barm, but in the demoralization of labor, and tbe lost limp, which amounts to a great deal more than tbe money spent in seeing the frights acd in bearing the aged jokes of tbe clown. ' wruao notion-. In his speech at Orville, Ohio, Senator Sherman referred to the o i ooutn as a section where "wrorg notions and bitter prejudices exist To these "wrong notions and bitter prejudice" be attributed the fact that .a 'Marge majority of the intelli gent and educated" people of the ooutn were Democrats. The infer ence is that they inherited their "wrong notions and bitter preiu dices" as they inherited their Demo cracy. Exaotly what these "wrong notions and bitter prejudices" are the Senator did not state, but we take it for granted that tbe first consist in tbe failure of the "intelli geBt and educated people" of the South r to see the beauties of Republicanism as it is taught and practiced by the high priests of that political faith, and the second refers doubtless to the refusal of this same "intelligent and educated peo pie to fratero politically acd socially witb the colored, man in whom the Republican politicians profess such a brotherly interest. If this be what be means we will con ceae without hesitation that be is nghv Intelligent and educated Southern people have never been able to dis cover anything in the Republican party which" would commend it to their judgment or support. ' They believe in certain fundamen tal principles of government, with all of which the Republican party in its professions and praotice has been and is at variance. They believe that a party to com mand the respect .and confidence of the people ougtot to be constructed on the broad gauge system, broad enough to embrace the whole country and not one section only. They believe it ought to be a party of tbe people, and not run in siSEZ - T " They believe it omrht v.. . party whioh would .: I a' " " prinoiple. honestly and oandidlw " "J WVU JLH live up to them when in power.

Tbey believe it should be -a party witb a good mDy. "qualifications which the Republican, party never had, has not now, and never will bave.J Hence the "wrong notions" which the Ohio Senator has discovers ed among the "majority of intelli gent and educated . people" of the South. Y"Yf .v-;-;;n"?-J: ."-v., Y, But be finds "bitter prejudices" too. He don't say, but we presume be meanB prejudices against the ne gro. Conceding-this, which we have no disposition to deny, although we might qualify the epithet "bitter," is there more prejudice against the ne gro in the South than in the North, or, to bring it nearer home, than in Mr. Sherman's own State? Neither prejudice nor liberal mindedness i a matter or : opinion or ' proiession . . . m - . merely, but is to be tested by prao tice. and we would ask some honest Republican to show where in tbe North is tbe negro treated with more consideration, or more fairness than he iB in tbe South. The "intelligent and educated-people" of the South do not nominate and elect negroes to office, but where do, tbo Republican friends of the negro in tbe North do that? The Southern people do not recoe nize the social equality of the negro, but where do the Republican friends of the negro in the North recog nize it? As a stubborn, indisputable faot. there is more prejudice against the nrgro in tbe Republican States of the North than in the Democratic States of the South, while it should be tbe revi rse 10 practice, as it is in profes sion. Southern neoDle deal candidly and honestly with the negro, promis irg him nothing politically and ex pecting nothing from him, while the Republicans treat him hypocritically and shabbily, promising him much and giving him nothing. As for "bitter prejudice," tbe colored man encounters as much or even more on tbe other side of tbe line, with all its professed liberality, than he does on this with all its alleged prejudice. Mr. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, is quoted as saying tbat the Democratic minority in the next Congress will carry their heads level, that they know their power and how to use it, and if the majority try to take any short turns on them, tbe aforesaid majority will find tbat they have bitten off more than they can con veniently masticate.

The Savannah" Jbrniflff News nnlw f lisb.es an interview with a prominent rice planter,, in wnicn it appears that tbe'yield of rice will not be as great as the public had been led to expeet.

Y-1 had a talk yesterday' witn quite er large number of. plan ters, and they -all agreed .in saying that they were very mnch disap pointed. it h the yield. In the very best plantations on which In good years tbey have a right to expect an average of fromiflfty to sixty bushels per acre, the yield is not over thirty or forty, -and in very many cases it is not more than . twenty-five bushels One planter told me," he added, "that on the best patches where he thought that he would have made at least sixty or seventy bushels per acre, the y Veld was not over thirty bushels. On other - plantations, where they have been expecting forty to fifty bushels to the acre, the yield is not over twenty-five." ' On being , asked if this shortage is noticeable on all the plantations on the river, the planter said that his in formation was quite general, and he was prepared to say that it was. Y "Have you heard anything from the South Carolina plantations?" ; . "Yes.

Altogether about twenty miles of the road have been graded. The Norfolk Zandtnark.8vea.Mnst of this road, throws out the suggestion that if the Norfolk and Southern road is extended to Newberne, as. has been ta'ked about for some time, the new railroad will be another connect ing link between that city and Wil mington.

Tbe Steamer Pioneer. The agent of the Clyde Steamshio Company in this city. Mr. H. G. Smallbones, was without advices ves-' terday concerning the steamer Pio neer, further than were published in the Star, that the steamer was ashore near Ocracoke and that assis tance had been sent to her. The Sig nal Service wires between Hatteras and Norfolk were down and intelli gence concerning the matter wa therefore difficult to obtain. The only particulars further than those already given, are that the Pioneer went ashore shortly before midnight Mon day, two miles east of Ocracoke Light, and that the crew of eighteen men were rescued by the Life-saving people at the inlet and landed safely on shore. It was thought that the steamer could be saved. The Norfolk Virginian of yesterday says- just how the Pioneer irot ashore is not definitely kno wn, as no omoiai news, beyonS the bare an nouncement has been reoeived here. Last night the Baker Salvage Wreck ing Company Bent the powerful steam lug morse to the assistance of the stranded steamer, and the Merrttt.

Only a short : time ago ' the entire is sue of bonds for the building of the Georgia, : Carolina. & Northern was readily taken in New. York, Philadel pbia and in London The Seaboard & Roanoke, extending son th through Virginia iand .North- Carolina,- has been a handsome paying property for years, because it has not ' been over capitalized, and it can earn money at rates f which ; wonld not meet the fixed oharges on some parts of : the y Richmond Sc Terminal svs- -tem. The Georgia, Carolina & North- em will form a link in a through line from. Portsmouth and . El orfolk via Raleigh to Atlanta, where the Geor gia railroads center. The line will be a shorter one than" the Richmond & Danville, and will have Independent connections at Portsmouth and Nor JojkYwith the Bay Steamship Line to Baltimore and the North. . It is easy for tbe Richmond Terminal people to scout this new competition, : but Mr. Robinson has : tbe'advantage of own ing his road, and that road has'suoh a large surplus that it can i without difficulty stand a considerable toss on the new line, if there should be any. This road pays. 10 per cent, dividends per annum, and;, besides that, carries over a BdrpluB in excess of the amount of dividends which it pays." Deatfj of air. Prlak.

Tbe Republican arguments were supple mented by affidavits alleging fraud in the 84th precinct. Tbe objections to the re-turns-from the 8th precinct are purely technical.

The Democratic managers will ask Judge DeWolf for a writ of mandamus to compel the canvassers to count the rejected pre cincts The throwing out of this vote, while reducing Toole's vote for Governor, does not overcome his majority. Helena, Oct. 15 Judge De Wolfe has issued an order setting the hearing of the Silver Bow county contest case for the first day of November court. The order is for th'e canvassers to show cause why the vote of the contested precinct shouid not be counted Members of the Democratic State Committee say they have tbe law of the Territory on their side, as tbe Supreme Court, several years ago, decided a case of tbe eame kind, holding that if tbe votes were icgaiiy casr, tne I act mat a less num ber of judges than those provided by law-presided at the election did not vitiate the returns The; feel confident an order will be issued by Judge De Wolfe, compelling the canvassers to count the vote as the re turns show it should be counted, giving them ten members of the Silver Bow Legis lative delegation. There was great excitement in Butte last night, and the action of the canvassers was the one theme of conversation. Democrats say as no charge of fraud has been made by their opponents, and inasmuch as the entire contest and decision was - made on technical grounds, they will have the senti ment of a majority of the people with them In any action they may take to have tbe contested precinct counted. JSARHOW KSCAPEL - By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Rahway. N. J., October 13. What was one of the nearest approaches to a frightful accident in the annals of railroading oc- i,uiiou uns iuh uiuruiug iu me last rfllis delpbia express train on tbe Pennsylvania railroad, due here at 11.13 p. m. The train is made up of two combination parlor cars and three coaches, and runs at a high rate of speed. It passed the main depot here to-day four minutes late,- rnnning at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine, just as it reached the east end of the long bridge east of Main street, jumped the track, and was followed by five cars. The crash, as tbe whole train left the track, was terrific, and was heard bv nnnnln nt. tho tn pot, a quarter of a mile west of where tbe accident occurred. The trln ran along the ties for two hundred feet, when the coup lings broke between the cars, and each car took a shoot indifferent directions, tearing up the rails and ties and digging into the stone-ballast roadbed. There are tour tracks at tbis point, and the cars were twisted around in such a way as to completely m mauueu ana tne cars tnemselves. When the cars had finally been stop ped the passengers, who were naturally badly frightened, came out of the wrecked cars, unable to comprehend what had hap pened. The most remarkable thing is that although the train was running at sixty miles an hour the only persons injured were two ladies, who were cut by flying Slat A DeWolf TTnniur f Wni) r . Company, was a passenger on the train, and received a severe shaking up, as did all of the passengers The accident was due to the spreading of the rails, which were new, and it is said had not been properly spiked by' the section men who laid them. Traffic was delayed all of the afternoon, while an army of workmen was busy in building a new road bed, the old one having been torn up for a distance of five hundred feet by the derailed train.

At 2 15 o'clock this morning a policeman discovered flames issuing from the small iuuvh, v we uuua entrance, and rush Ing to tb,e nearest signal box sent in an alarm. The firemen found that the fire bad assumed large proportions, and additional alarms, calling all available apparatus, were at once sent in. It became evident that the edifice was doomed. It burned like a tin der box, and tbe firemen, despairing of saying it, directed their efforts to the ad joining property. Many of the occupants of the neighboring dwellings were already awake, and tbe police proceeded to arouse those who were sleeping. The three-story frame structure, No 868 Bchermerhorn street, adjoining the church on tbe east, was the first to take fire, and Ho. 855, a similar structure,;, olio wed No 857 was also damaged.
