THE POLITICAL OUTLOoK. There, is iut little doubtif the oppb tjition to the Democratic party can be marshalled jiti a, solid phalanx at the uest state elections, that it would re sult iu its overthrow. It has so long abused the high trust which the people committed to .it that" all classes and condition of men are turnings their eyes' away frjom it, and fervently wish iug. its downlallr The success of the combined opposition iu Virginia last year has amply demonstrated that the Democracy,likel j a "TliuttaUi and jfterlltlious bark, Jsullt in the eclipse, and ringed with curses .' Uark," i :.i -! ' "V ... Has been abandoned, by .the people, cither-to rot j or j sink. The anii-Bour-bons iu 'North Carolina, when united tire "far more " numerous, and conse ueutly npre powerful than their op ponents. The Irishman said the fleas would have pulled . him out of bed, had they been unanimous. AH who are op posed tof the methods of the faction now in powtrjin this state, and. who are not hopeless of amelioration of our con dition are earnestly requested ;to con sider this, Gould our differences be sunk', jhere would be no difficulty in achieving the desired consummation. The railroad policy of that parjjr by which jthe slate has been without any compensation stripped pf a highly val uable i'ropertj'; our principal seaports reduced to way stations; qur largest in- land - towns and cities discriminated against in tho matter of railroad tariffs; uud our state system, the hope and aim lot Caldwell, of Morehead; and other patriots- .vanish among the dream of things genera Vaucc that were, all done Jbr the now )y admitted purpose of sending tl the Senate and making that cross-road's demagogue; Jaryis Govern or, has alienated thousands of the best men a lid voles. They see in it nothing but unmiked and short-sighted selfish ucss; aud as that class is gene: ally of thb opinion that parties are made for men. and not that men are matte for P-irliesj-they are ready to abaudou a gang wjho can without a bluafr, claim a sacrificj; of vaat i public iulercsts to the needs of party or party leaders. i lt.ia Unnecessary, howeverrto cuumc rate or identify . the anti-Uourbons. lueyare. it is true, at present in: a loose and disjointed condition. Many "tf theui dtsp'air oelief; many doubt or tlcny that any can come from the only organized party in the stable that antagonizes the Democracy.- To all. wo nay, let us havo.fi friendly confer cuce; let us compare - our diflerencep; let us compromise our claims; let us discus) I iu what best; manner we can move upon the common enemy; and let lu close up cur columns and drive him from his entrenched places of power. The Republican party is willing to act With any set of honest men in so praise worthy a light. ' X ' ' To this cud, we propose that before tho time the next Republican State. Convention is held, that the opponents of 'tho-tDemccrats, not heretofore Re- I K . I publicans", be invited to send delegates Irom everj county iu the state, thongh a delegate may not represent mere than leu & men ; that these delegates lnscfat Raleigh at (he time of the lie pablicau Convention; that a free sinter change of ide is and opinions be had; that every thing except principles be arbitrated; that leaders be alike select cd from every group of the opposition. Should we not be able to harmonize, such a meeting would be productive of good, iu that it might be the sowing of seed which wouM bear fruit two years inni this time. " tt " 1 pr. Utrnrjr ilihtacit Uaructt Taeuoko, N.C, March 15, 1SS2. Kiutob Tost. Dr. IGarnett is dead! and no man who reads American his tor j is insensible of the vacuum : that remains ta be filled. Born a slave though dciceudd from a distinguished craud sire, he roc by dint-of unremit ting exertion frcm the lowest depth of human society, or, human slavery if yon chocse, to the highest round of the lad der of honor j and r fame. Ue was oot great iu an brdiuary sense, bat threat when associated with great men and mcAiures His access on the stage on which he acted placed him In Jhe fore most rank of the advocates who strug gled in behalf emancipation. Who can forget that bold and daring utterance made use of more than a quarter of a century ago; I would rather jdie a frttman thaa uvs a sUve." That hq tence aGWds seme estimate of the man h ttUered iu The obsUclea that confronted him in hU eSoit to obtais aa cdocation never cooled his ardor ncr daunted his determiaalioa.

In dvbat I vat Cm, turte- ous and grandly eloquent. His speech in repiy to Mr. Saunders, a Greelevitc in Jew York in the great political con test; pf 1872 fully attests this faeV It was the byword everywhere. "Dr. Gar- Wt topk him down." His great speech in the aniij-alavery convention held in New Yorkjlong before the war,, secured him the title of th? ablest members of tbat body.) And well did he deserve such a title, if his effort on that occa sion is to be indeed bv recent ones Som? men are great on one occasion and infinuesimally tmall on other oc casions. In lace occasion makes some men and unmakes others. His great ness did not consist of ibis kind. It is almost universally conceded that" he was great at home, abroad and on every occasion. iFe was a'-preacher of raie merit, possessed as he was of the most fltfent speech. I chanced to ba on the platform with him in 1878, in Boston, and it was .then that I became personally and even in timately" acquainted with him. I then learned .hat his personal attachment, coupled with his other winning quali ties, was of the strongest possible kind; No man in.America is more loved by those who knew, him well, than was Dr. Garnett by his large circle of friends in New .York, and others who have met him.;. His genial nature would present such a strong evidence of welcome that all conditions and races - T were at home when in hiir presence. No wonder jhis congregation shed bitter tears of regret, when by executive ac tion, and a nation's sanction, he was removed from the "scene of his weary years of toil and labor, to the far-off benighted shores, where his forefathers bathed: their overheated foreheads in the tepid waters of the unbecalmed At lantic And as he long prayed, I sup pose, he returned to the land of his na tivity to die, unmolested by the dis turb ing noise, of races aid classes. Who can forget the assistance he rendered those fleewg "exodusters" whQ, when reaching JNew York, found themselves 1 without food, raiment cr shelter? . How he kindly tendered them the basement of his church, and used personal efforts to obtain clothing and food from a generous -and-hospi table public? None of us can forget holy graciously his entreaties were responds ed to, and how after aH'secured mean! ana sent tum on their way rejoicin nis memory is ucserving 01 any tnbutc that, may ,bc paid him, certain ly a better oxe than I can pay. His example should serve ' as a light to guide those Iwhb would take his place, in proper avenues; his life should be a chart to point the coming youth to the height ; which ho should attain; bis achievements should stimulate the ex ertion of every ambitious rchoo'.-boy, that he too may attain an end no less glorious. All should revere his mem ory, not simply because he was great but because he use be was. equally good Tfn3 just.; The foul hand of slander never polluted his garments. His whole life. so far as we know, was without a stain it having Stood the test, throughout, iiu'impeachcl aud unimpeachable. , He was pure, not simply as a man, but as a Christian, and . cherished an ardent hope of attaining a glorious end. llevo- lution in governmenta.and changed in ad ministrative policy may continue to ex cite public alarm and uaselila mercan tile and industrial interests, but time Will always be found to eulogize the memory and dplore the loss of any great and good men, especially when his works have been instrumental, in guarding a nation's rights and pro mo-ting a nation's safety, and for these reasons I have taken occasion, briefly to point put the commanding trait in the character of a noble public ser vant. . : : Y ;; J. C. 1). Iroporlailon of Air. i . To discourage the introduction of American canned meats into Germany f the customs icfficers hare contrived a three-fold duty upon such commodities. a he meat is taxed for itself; the can as fine iron ware;! and the labels are com pelled to pay another high duty as chromo lithographs. Apparently to justify tho customs charges upon the covering of imported goods, a. Berlin paper relates how Alexander Yon Humboldt once took advantage of the exemption from duty 'of the covering of article fred from duty, formerly if not now Use rule in France. In the year lSOJ he and Guy Lussae were in ram engaged in their experimenta on the compression of air. Th two jci entisU found- themselves in need of a large number of glass tubes. This ar ticle was exceedingly dear io France at tho time, and tho rate of import upon imported glass tubes was ??nrthi(i: alarming.

Editor jl'osx: My first impulse on reading the last communication of your Waihington corresotdent, ,'who re- joicts in the rion Je jrtimie oi Ociola, was to, suffer it to go unanswered, but after some reflection I have concluded that iti3my2du.ly to rcpfy. I have al ways condemned newspaper controver sies, and deprecate tie present contest into whiclil,have been drawn by Ocio- on account j of his egregious mis statements relative to the work accom plished by congressman Hubbs in se curing the appointment of colored men to office. ' In vindication of the truth , . ; ...... and in iuatice ', to mvsslf. 1 am con drained to answer Ociola, and to ex pose the errors of which he is wilfullyq or ignorantly guilty. No doubt this well informed andl; reliable(?);c6rresp6ndent at.presept lives and moves in a state ofsupreme complacency, exulting in his signal triumph over X, of the POST, and Cippio of the Newbern Lodge, who have had the effrontery, to call in ques tion the trutb i of certain assertions made by him in a former communica tion. He, perhap3,( regards hia list ef fusion as an effectual crustier for both, and says that baying annihilated two adversaries at one blow, he is entitled to take rank as a hero, second only to that famous personage, Jac the Giant Kilmer, who. is. reputed to have "killed three at a ! stroke." Ociola will find. howeyer, thathe weapon wEich he has employed to dispose thus'summarily of X. and Cionio was not of the nature of the unerring and fatal dart, but rather like the Australian boomerang, which when improperly; projected returns and falls withjbruising effect upon. the pate of the projector. The point at j issue between Ociola and myself is the' record of Mr. Hubbs member of. Congress, from the Second District. That record, though covering only a few months, is one of which Mr. ilubbs may well be proud, and for which he is entitled to the commenda tion of -his constituents. No other Re publican Con'grcssnian from North Car olina has ever done better than that gentleman iu the same length of- time, and it may not be an injustice ' to his pr edecessors to say that cone have done so well. Eat while I endorse and com mend Mr. Ilubbs' course thus far, I do not see that it entitles hiui ta special praise or eulogy, lie was nominated and elected to congress by colored Re publicans, and it is certainly Lis boun. den duty to labor to olAaih for the col ored uvea of North Carol iaa"politica recognilicii and a just portion of gov eminent patronage. To fail to exeit his intlaence to its utmost in this direc lion would be to1 prove hiniself unwor thy of the couhuence and support of Lis,, people and -i ?.r!y.' I believe Mr Ijubbs to be a fslf minded and consci entious gcutlcman , and - while very justly ambitliui of a iavoraWe verdict upon his congressional career, I am confident that he despises all attempts mu.de to unduly magnify his record. He is certainly incapable of working to ap propriate to himself credit for appoint meuts made which clearly belong to another: or others. This being true that "gentleman should pray to be de livered from all suet friends as Ociola who in writing him up gives a.grossly exaggerated account of his services. doubt not that the two couimnications appearing in the lloVc from the pen1 of Oceoia were as moitiff ing to Mr. Hubbs as they were discreditable ' to their au tUor. lo tueiirst article 1 wrote an immediate and good n at u red reply, sup poipg that Ociola would stand correct ed; but instead of submitting to a just criticism, ho makes Laste to prepare an elaborate rejoinder, in which he rciter ates all his forniterja ssertions and en deavcred to pt rnelo rout by turning upon me sarcasm. the term5e' battery of his 1 have neither the time cor the in clination, Mr. Editor, to answer Ocio la'a last in detail, nor have you the Fpace to yield for s-uch a purtose. The case stated in a Arw wotds is this OcioU who boIJs. an .appointment in Washington ap,aren1iy hid some, end to serye which he concluded could be better reached through his pronounc ing a panegyric upon Cotgresaman Hubbs. This he proceeded to do, bu not satisfied with the scmewhat meagre showing of his record te hesitated not to make' a remarkable and highly en viable record for cur congressmen by a bold and reckless disregirj of the truth. I at once replied to that part of toe wniei's eulogy in which he gave Mr. Hubbs credit for appointment with which he had litUe cr nothing to dot, and iais-.td that he hou'd sot bo Ubdtd aVove hi dt?cr, jiad at the ex pecse of i.:htr f i.Lfal til xm'ous lead ers of our party ia the state. Odola dUUked this acd in a second iola!meat delivered himself ia a miener that ba provcitd acd jaiiiiiid this coad com municxJ ion frcm mjsett 1 would say to OcioU and the pabUc thai I sUod by ray fiwf letter, aed aa prepared to pravo evtryisfrtioa made tbercla if BCtcssary by pemaal sU'.emects from ocrrral of tho best RrpM3cxs ia tho auto.

SXr;-OatU la Wiadlstsa City, oa ap?UcuU fitSc, Mr. lisbba accom pasted b.tm U tt War 0rrrt ttetwlcrt bis a?roU was &eL This was about as much as Mr. Hubbs had to do with Mr. Outlaw's obtaining position under the goyernment. I have the testimonr ot Col. lnos. at. eogh that be and Mr. Harria called on Mr. Lincoln, Secretary of War, and that Mr. Harria urged, and in fact de manded, Outlaw's immediate appoint ment. The Secretary at that time was not even aware that Mr. -O's. Pipers were on file, thongh Ociola would at tribute his appointment to the 'laere act of Mr. HabbV haring walked witb him ovr to the Department of )Var wherr. he went for tho purpose ofub- uuuiag his application and recommen dations. At the interview between Mr. Lincoln land Mr. Harris the latter obtained a promise before leaving that Mr. Outlaw ahonld have a place, and this gentleman was at once examined and appointed to the only vacancy tfeen existing in the Department. Mr. Out law acknowledged in graceful and grateful language that he owed Tiis ap pointment to Mr. Harris' efforts in his behalf and as I stated in my previous communication bis letter containing this acknowledgment was read before the late colored convention held in this city. Will Ociola dare to reassert that Mr. Hubbs procured for Mr. Outlaw clerkship in the War Department, and that too against the "testimony of Col. Keoeh and Mr. O's own! written state ment? i - ; '' ' J' ':L I am hardly justified in consuming . . . : the space necessary to contradict Oci ola's assertion that Messrs. Hamlin and Hunter, clerks , in the Raleigh post office, owe their positions too to Mr Hubbs' influence., Mr. Hunter was ap pointed by Got. Holden,. theu post master, without Mr. Hubbs knowledge and was retained on the succession o Hon. John Nichols to the postmaster ship on the personal recommendation ofHoD. James!H. Harris.! Mr. Harris also presented and urged the claim of Jas. .' Hamlin in so forcible a man ner that Mr. Nichols was induced to take that young gentleman into the postofBce. It is an unmerited reflec tion on our excellent postmaster, Mr. Nicholr, for Ociola to insinuate that he would go out ot his community and district and confer with Mr. Hubbs to the exclusion of bisfellow-Republicans at home relative to the clerkship to be lled in the postoflice at Raleigh. ; It was understood on Mr. Nichols' sue cession1 to the postmasterahip that there were to be two or more colored clerks appointed and in making bis selections it was natural that he should consult such leading Colored men as Honi James H. Harris, Stewart Elison, q., and others living right here at the cap itol city. Every postmaster has the ap pointment of his own subordinates, and it is an insult to an intelligent man for Ociola to tell us that Mr. Hubbs, and not Mr. Nicholsjapointed Messrs. Hunter and Hamlin. ' ' . ; ; ' We feet friendly toward Ociola aud would tender him a bit of friendly ad vice. Let him stick to his legitimate business, perform his duties faithfully draw his monthly stipend regularly "and leave offj trying to make records for North Carolina congressmen 'and dic tating to North Carolina Republicans, if he is a friend and admirer of Mr. Hubbs we assure him that he can serve that gentleman "best by his silence. Many a man has damned both himself and others by recklessly rtfshiog in to print. Let Ociola beware ! . X. Salisbury, N. C, March 25, 'S2. Editor Post: Your correspondent boarded the train at Greensboro Tues day morning of the 28th ult., for the above place, where we arrived all safe and sound. We were met at the de potrby our .congenial friend, Ker. F.C. Potter, the energetic and much esteem ed pastor in charge of the colored Pres byterian chnrchj of this place. We are also his guest, and he has laid us under many special obligations lo bim for the kind offices rendered as io making our -visit so pleasant, and facilitating our efforts in increasing the subscription list of the Post.' W I In the Presbyterian church, accord ing to a previous notice, we addressed a largo and appreciative audience on the question of! the present movement among our people to secure their polii teal and civil rights, and also oa some vital topics pertaining to our necessi ties as a race. We managed to throw a little leaven on the jury question in to their midst, which we have reason to believe Will leaves nearly the whole iumD before the 2hb. : i Politic ia this placo .seem to be "booming." There i a greal deal of talk about ; the "Iodepeadent sore ment," as the most of joor reader know that one of the lodepeadentauU Boorboa coaverts Hon. Cass. Price made here.

One thing we will Jay, how ever, that there are some Republicans here, as elsewhere,; who need a regen eration' and re-baptizing -in the pure and unadulterated principles of the Re publican party before they are fit to be called by the title cf true and bdnest Republicans. ;: , iV 1 The colored voters here are about as alert and active as to the rr political aud civil interests as anywhere in the state. "In the time of peace they are preparing for war."; rot nf far-l Iwr ihw met ami lock steps towards calling a county convention for the purpose of sending delegates to Goldaboro n the 2Dth, and also appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the club aa 'a norm o nanf rkrirntv.ifrir.n f imt matters rela'iag fib e'r educational and political welfare in the future trouble and inconvenience.

' No bankrupt aspirant, nor! political insolvent whose safe key is in the keeping of the Democratic I party need apply, for "poor trust is t , . r .i dead, bad p3y killed him." We have made Ueveral ' visits to the State Colored Normal School under tbe chalrce of Rev. F. I O. Crosby assisted by prf. A. Li. Richardson.'' The eoler cd piople here are very much pleased and grateful for the establishment of one; of. the normal echools in their midst. The number forty-seven in attendance is not as large as could be desired but there are favorable pros pects of the number increasing by next year, if those attending have the de sire to become proficient teachers in proportion to the zeal and efforts of their intruders to assict them in this direction then the school will haye ac complished the minion for which it was jbtarted.
