THE ERA. Official Organ of the fulled states. Official Organ of the City. Vf. 31. imOWX, Manager. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1S74. Election. On the 13th inst., elections were held in several of the North-western States for Congressmen, mem Uts of the Legislature, dc. He turns from the States of Ohio and Indiana indicate that those States have gone Democratic. It is hard ly worth while to remind our in telligent readers of the fact, that in the States referred to, there were many side issues involved, causing minor differences of opinion among men of all political parties. In the State of Ohio, for instance, the Re publican party adopted as a matter of State policy the prohibition plat form, while in Indiana, matters of a purely local character contributed to the temporary division of our party in the State. It is well- to remind our Demo cratic friends of the South, that the o-called triumph of their party in IK)rtions of the Xorth-west, is far from being an endorsement of the platforms and principles of the Southern Democracy. It is proper they should realize the fact that no party In the North would sanction or even tolerate such declarations of disloyalty as are embodied in the platforms of the White League and Ku Klux Democracy South. No, gentlemen, Democracy North, and Democracy South, are now, as of old, two very different concerns. Its professions of loyalty in the North sometimes serve to gain temporary advantages on local is sues, while the assertions of devo tion to the lost cause openly made in the South contribute to hold in its ranks that very large and dis contented class who let no occasion pass to exhibit their chagrin and disappointment arising from the defeat of their attempts to perpetu ate slavery and divide the Republic. . In all parties local differences will occur. It is a source of congratula tion to us, as it-is to all true Repub licans, thatourparty is never found wanting in the zeal and energy ne cessary to victory, whenever ques tions of national importance are brought to the front. The Demo cratic press may make the most of what they choose to claim as victo ries in Ohio and Indiana. In the great contest of lt7G, when the Re publican party shall arise in its might to again go forth to battle, jointing with pride to its past re cord as an indication of its future course, it will require something more than the united efforts of Cop Ierhead3 North and White League Democracy South to stay its march to a grand and glorious victory. perhaps around Greensboro,) who knew who the appointees were un til their names were announced as being present at the Convention, and we are informed by a promi nent Republican, that a dispatch from him in Washington City,, to one of the Committee in .Greens boro, failed to elicit even a reply. Wc think the action of the Com mittee in this matter Is exceedingly strange, and the Republicans of the State want an explanation. Vc ate enabled ,to state, authori tatively that recent" hints at the de fection of Governor W. V. Holder of North Carolina, from the Renub- can party are without tne leasi foundation in truth. In a letter to a gentleman in this city, written a few davs since, he says: mere is no foundation whatever for the suggestion that I am a lukewarm Republican. I am as firm and tixed as I was in 1SGS. I have no po litical future, and I do not desire, any ; but as long as I shall take an interest in public affairs, I expect to vote the Republican ticket." Previous to the rebellion Governor Holden was, probably, the most popular and inlluential leader of the Democratic party in North Carolina. He made an issue with his party on secession, and the. Union sentiment in the State, kept alive during the war, was due more to him and the manly attitude of his paper, the Standard, than to any other man. At the close of tho war he at once assumed full affiliation with the Na tional Republican party, and has ever since been unwavering in the. support and advocacy of its princi ples and measures. No man has been more grossly maligned and persecuted, both during the rebel lion and since. The suggestion of his defection or lukewarmness now j was absurd upon.its lace and scarcely worth noticing. We copy the foregoing Editorial from the Washington C7ironicte of the 13th ir.st. No Republican of standing in North Carolina ever doubted Governor Holden 's devo tion to the Republican party. The hints referred to above are but the Ikisc inventions of those upon w hom the party in North Carolina has set its seal of condemnation, and are directed at Governor Holden be cause he refused to aid them, either by his vote or encouragement, in swindling the people of Wake coun ty. We can pay Governor Holden no higher compliment than to say that, at no time during his career has he enjoyed to a higher extent the full confidence of all honest Re publicansof North Carolina than at the present. revolution is four or five times in creased. Instantly a sudden check is brought to bear on all the connec tions, the whole apparatus is sub jected to an intense strain and then cornea the ominous breaking of the shaft; leaving tho vessel at the mercy of the storm. ".Tho invention to which we allude applies an anticipative correction of this catastrophe by its automatic ac tion. It consists of a pneumatic air chamber, which communicates with the sea through a sea-valve and with the throttle valve of the en gine, and acting somewhat after the principle of the Westinghouse air brake on bteam cars when the train is broken", IThis pneumatic gover nor, so simple and instantaneous in Its pperation, cots off the steam from tho engines by, the transference of pressure the instant a heavy sea begins to lift the screw-out of ihe water. The adjustment is such thatr out of the resisting medium, and before acceleration can' ensue, fhe throttle has served its purpose and the shaft been relieved from all ten- sion. iNOtning couiu oesnnp'er uuu more summary in its Vorking, and bcarcely any invention could afford greater safety, comfort and economy to all stcarn vessels employing the screw. The tcoriomy of steam, and con sequently of fuel, by closing off the supply of motive power from the Doner wnen inn propencr is hi me air, must be very great in long voy- r- rf A. I asres. ltie enormous saving oi me wear and tear of the facings and gearing and the relief of the shafts and rods from the tremendous ten sion of the rolling waves must be still greater economy to the steam ship company. But the outweigh ing: consideration oi tne great se curity to life and proiorty from so cheap and self-acting a contrivance will very mucii enhance mo popu larity of every ocean steamer which it is known employs it. The sim plicity, inexpensiveness and self evident utility of this invention should strongly commend it to all our steam lines, especially on the boisterous Atlantic, and no time should be lost in fitting it upon their vessels before the winter gales set in. energy must be felt by every officer and man present with it to secure the best results. Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster. Look After tlic Eyes. . Multitudes of men and women have made their eyes weak for life by the too'Xrec use -of eyesight, reading. 'fine sprint and doing, fine sewing., In yiewof these, thlngsit is well toobserve the following rules in the.iise of the eyes.: - Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never read by twilight or on a very cloudy day. , P - r i f 'Never 'sleep so that onwakfn theneyes shall opeaon .iheliglU ,of the window. Do not use eyesight by -Tight so scant .that it requires an effort, to discriminate.' -f , ' Never read or sew directly jn front, of the light of the window.' " It is best to have the light from above, or obliquely, or over the left shoulder. . Too much Iigljt creates a glare, and pains and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that, moment stop and talk, walk or ride. As the sky is blue and the earth green, it would seem that the ceil ing should be of a bluish tinge, the carpet green, and the walls of some mellow tint. The moment you are instinctive ly inclined to rub the eyes, that moment cease to use them. If the eyelids are glued together on waking do not forcibly open them, but apply saliva with the finger, and then wash your eyes and face with warm water. MISCELLANEOUS. SEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

A meeting of the State Itepubli ran Kxecutive Committee took lIace in this city on Tuesday, the (;th day of October. It was under tood that the meeting was called for the purpose of appointing dele gates to a convention of Republi cans, from what are known as the reconstructed States, to meet at Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the 13th inst. It is rumored that the com m it tee did designate certain gentle men to represent the Republicans of North Carolina in said conven tion, but we have failed to see a single person who could give us any correct information as to who they were. If they were appointed at all, their names and residences have been kept a profound secret in the bosoms of those composing the committee. The call for the meeting of the committee first ap Ieared in the Nexc North Stale, and we naturally concluded, that If the Era was not furnished with the list the AVir North State would not have been slighted, but we have searched the columns of that paper in vain for the names of the fortu nate appointees. But Xorth Carolina icas repre sented at Chattanooga, and the dele gates delivered their credentials. Somebody must have made out these credentials, and must have had some authority for so doing. Why is it that the names of these delegates are withheld from the Republicans of North Carolina ? By what authority does the Execu tive Committee of the great Repub lican Party in North Carolina ex ercise this secret mode of proceed ings? Have packed conventions, packed caucusses, and secret wire pulling become so common in the party as to lead even its State Executive Committee to attempt to carry out such political Jugglery? It looks like it. There is some thing wrong in this business. We say now, as we have said -before, that if the Chattanooga Convention is to avail anything, if its proceed ings are to have any weight in shaping the future course of the Republican party, then such feeling as actuated the State Executive Committee in secretly appointing delegates, Is not calculated to ad vance the prospect. Thero were not ten men outside of the Com mittee in all the country around Jtaleigh, and no where else (except We hope our political friends will cut out and file away the following extract from the Washington Jle- intbtic. If every man will do his duty by earnest appeals to his neigh borhood friends from now out, the Republican party cannot fail of suc cess in North Carolina in 187G : The Way to Win". An hour's quiet talk with a lukewarm neigh bor will do more to arouse him to an earnest support of the Republican party than a dozen stump speeches. Mass-meetings impart entnusiasm to organized bodies and keep them active in the irood work, but a per sonal canvass by the right kind of men makes converts and thus adds to the party strength. Every town should have its Republican organi- character, those Handling an Arinjr. General Sherman, in his letter on the army, says: It is related of Napoleon that his last words were " Tete-d,-Aruiee.M Doubtless as the shadow of death obscured his memory," the last thought that re mained for speech was ol some event when lie was directing an impor tant4' head of column." I believe that every general who has handled armies in battle must recall from his own experience the intensity of thought on aomo similar occasion, when by a single command he had given the finishing stroke to some complicated action ; but to me re curs another thought that is worthy of record, and may encourage others who are to follow us in our pro fession. I never saw the roar ot an army engaged in battle but I feared that some calamity had happened at the front. The apparent confu sion, broken wagons, dead horses, men lying about dead and maimed, parties hastening to and fro in seeming disorder, and a general ap prehension of something dreadful about to ensue all these signs, however, lessened as I neared the front, aud there the contrast was perfect ; perfect order, men and horses full of confidence, and it was not unusual for general hilarity, laughing and cheering. Although cannon, might be firiug, the mus ketry clattering, and the enemy's shot hitting close, there reigned a general feeling of strength and security that bore a marked con J. M.
