nw of the Causes. It becomes the
UrnuhhVan party to fully investigate
m m - g
the causes which led to our late defeat,
anl to so direct the affairs of State as to
ajIv Hune remedy which may bo suffi
cient to ifgain what it has lost. In or
dor that we may arrive at a proper con-
i-Iu.Mon as to what has brought about
Kii -Ii a reaction in the voico of the peo
ple, no notion of delicay ought to pre
vent a thorough ventillation of the short
comings of both our State and National
administrations. We propose to ac
rmmt for sonic of tho losses wo have
sustained in North Carolina, and the
Mine will doubtlcs appear of equal
force in nearly over' Southern State.
imringthe rebellion, and especially
during the inarch of General Shermau
through Tennessee, Georgia, South Car
olina and North Carolina, immense
fjuantiti! s of supplies were taken from
the inhaidtauts for the purpose of furn
ish in tiio Fetleral army. Horses, cat
tle, bacon, meal, Hour, lard, corn and
other description of provisions, besides
thousands of articles too numerous to
mention, were taken from the people
ui'.hout tho slightest regard to their
j roviou- standing as Unionists or Se
ction its. In his orders to forago on
the people, no discriminations were
niadt'hy General Sherman. After the
d'Q of the war steps were taken by
(.'nnzresN to provide for the payment to
loviil claimants of such amounts as
could he proven to have been used by
the army. Tho bill passed for tho pur
ine w.vs shaped in such a manner that,
th"iiA!uN f as true and loyal men as
live anywhere in tho Union were ex
cluded from its benefits by the most
frivolous technicalities, while many,
though not so loyal, in the absence of
such sjHcitU; provisions in the bill as
applied to themselves, havo been al
lowed the full amount of their losses.
We know ot many instances which
have come under our observation of
jersons who were forced into Confeder
ate ranks, or into tho Home Guard or
State milita, and who, on account of
this forced service, were deprived by
the till now in operation, of its lienefits.
We know, also, of hundreds of good
and truo men who entered into the
ranks ct iho Home Guard; sought and
obtained positions of Justices of the
IVace, and acted in subordinate capaci
ties in the State service only for the pur
pose of avoiding oonscripidou, and of
being placed in the position of light
ing against their country's Hag. Yet
this class of persons are debarred by the
1 ill from the privilege of proving their
claims, while thousands who were only
prevented from pursuing a similar
course, by exemptions in another form,
are allowed full payment for their losses.
Thi has caused immense dissatisfaction
throughout the Southern States, and has
li 1 1 the HVect of throwing hundreds and
thousands of hitherto good Republi
cans into the Democratic ranks, while
i: has rendered many utterly careless of
the ioIitieal condition of the country.
We earnestly hope that Congress at its
approaching session will take steps to
so modify ihe present claim bill as to
work v,:h something like equality to
our people. The present mode of pay
ing claimants is manifestly unjust, and
while we are Iree to confess that tho Re
publican paity has been guilty of blun
ders, it is responsible for none so glar
ing as this. Lt a liberal bill be passed
Ht once, and thousands of men who have
temporarily deserted us will again rally
to our standard. Wo feci that it would
not be presuming too much to ask Pres
ident Grant in the name of tho Repub
licans of tho South, to give countenance
to more liberal features of legislation
on the subject. It is a measure of jus
tie which the country, and especially
the Republican partv, should not over
look. ThkGoveknor's Message. We re
'et exceedingly that the continued
pressure on our advertising columns
prevents us from laying before our read
ers, in this issue, the admirable message
of Governor Brogden. We shall, how
ever, print this elaborate stato paper
next week.
The document presents clear and con
cise statements of the financial, political
and agiiculturdl interests of the State,
and while it plainly sets forth tho views
f the Executive on the most important
matters, yet, pains are taken to show
great deference to tho Legislative branch
of the Government. Although differ
ing in a political point of view, we are
sure that it will be the pleasure, as it is
the duty, of the Executive to cordially
co-operate with the General Assembly
in all matiers pertaining to the material
interests of the State.
We- trust that undue agitation of
questions, especially those of a charac
ter to which we are to some extent in
debted for our late losses, will not be en
couraged among our Republican friends
f the Legislature, or in any Republi
can assemblage. Those who attempt at
time like the present to throw fire
brands into the ranks, or to indulge in
useless criminations, should be treat
Mas enemies to the Republican cause.
3t harmony and unity of action rather
out watcbword for the future.
General Assembly. This bodyas-
scmbed in the Capitol on Monday, the
16th inst. The Senate has been organ
ized as follows: President, Col. R. F.
Arm field, of Iredell ; Principal Clerk,
Johnston Jones, of Charlotte; Reading
Clerk, P. II. Winslon, Jr., of Bertie;
Principal Doorkeeper, J. E. Morris, of
Craven, and Anderson Douglas, of Yad
kin, Assistant Doorkeeper.
On motion of Mi . Busbee, of Wake,
j. iucLieou lurner, or uuncombe, was
appointed Engrossing Clerk.
The House of Representatives has
been organized as follows : Speaker.
Hon. Jas. L. Robinson, of Macon
Principal Clerk, Col. J. D. Cameron, of
Orange; Readlag Clerk, Col. W. M.
Hardy, of Buncombe ; Principal Door
keeper, J. II. Hill, of Randolph, and
J. P. Norton, of McDowell. Assistant
Doorkeeper.
On Tuesday, the 17th inst., a Joint
committee was appointed to wait on the
Governor and inform him of tho organ
ization of tho body and that they were
ready to receive any message he might
desire to communicate.
At 12 o'clock, M., of the same day,
the two Houses met for tho purpose of
comparing the voles for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, with the follow
ing result: Mr. Pool received 98,217
votes ; Mr. Purneil received 81,181
votes. Mr. Pool was formally declared
elected.
The majority for M- Pool was 14,030,
including the votes of Wako and Frank
lin, which were not couuted on ac
count of no rem rns being made by the
Sheriffs. Mr. Mondenhall offered a
olution call'og on tho Auditor for a
statement of (he expenses of the State
government from 1800 iO ihe last fiscal
year. Tho Governors message was read
in the House on Wednosday, the 18th
inst. A resolution offered by Mr. Me-
bane, that it was tho sense of the Gen
eral Assembly that the defaulting sher
iffs of tho coun.ies named should be
prosecuted, was adopted.
Insane Asylum. Wo are indebted
to Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent
of the Insane Asylum, for a copy of his
report to the Board of Directors, for tho
fiscal year fending Oct. 31st, 1S74. The
total number of admissions since the
opening of the Ins.itution on the 22d
day of February, 1856, is 1.0S7 ; the total
number of discharges for the same time
is 810, leaving now under treatment
217. Among thoso put down as dis
charged, 275 were cured, 103 improved,
172 unimproved, and 200 died. During
the past year the cures upon admissions
have been 25 per cent. ; the cures upon
charges have been 33 per cent., and
the deaths upon number under treat
ment have been 27 per cent.
Accompanying tho report is a plan for
the enlargement of tho Institution, and
considerable space is devoted to the dis
cussion of that subject. Wo hope that the
Legislature will at an early day mako
an appropriation sufficient to meet the
wants in every respect of the Insane of
the State. It is a question ouiside of all
party considerations, and, as a matter of
humanity, demands the most prompt
consideration.
The Sentinel of the 17th inst. contains
an articlo from tho Asheville Pioneer
wrhich was copied in the Era of the 12th
inst., in which Governor Brogden is
complimented and the lato Governor
Caldwell's political course rather harsh
ly criticised; and comments in an un
favorable manner upon our reproduc
tion of tho article, without stating the
fact that the Era specially disclaimed
its intention to endorse the criticism of
the Pioneer on our lato Governor. If
the Editor of tho Sentinel would duly
appreciate that courtesy which obtains
among journalists, he will give the Era
the benefit of tho disclaimer. We can
seo no possible good end to bo attained
by such distortion.
A New Deal and Better Manage
ment. Now that the elections are over
it is not an inopportune time to remind
certain political cooks and caterer?, all
over the country, that the feast they
have been in the habit of serving up
will no longer be swallowed. The diet
tley have been preparing has deranged
tho body politic made it sick from bead
to foot. It was enough to destroy the
digestion of a horse and give dyspepsia
to a whale. Tho truth is, the people in
the Republican ranks deijiantl a new
deal.
The great political change in the coun
try has not been caused by any love for
or confidence in Democracy. The Dem
ocratic vote is not perceptiblv increased
it was a falling off in the Republican
vote. The latter were sick and disgust
ed with the party management. They
demand that the barnacles must be
scraped off and the vessel put under
charge of better managers. And this
is the only salvation for the Republican
ship. Elizabeth City North Carolinian.
