would at least refrain from open
hostility tow.anls tho Itepublican
party. We say It is reasonable to
suppose this, lccause, when tho
Democrats held possession of the
different Institutions, not a single
Itepublican official, so far as we
know, was allowed to remain in
office.
How stands the matter ? One of
tho best offices at theStfitc Peniten
tiary, and (in point of emoluments)
one of tho best in the State, is held
by a gentleman who is reported to
have marched "boldly up to the polls
at the late election and cast his vote
against the party that pays him
from eight to ten dollars a day.
Take another instance. The office
of Physician at the .Penitentiary is
held by a gentleman who is known
to bo bitter In his political opinions
and faceedingly hostile to the Re
publican party. While wo do not
desire to detract from his medical
character, wo can truthfully say,
that Itepublican candidates for the
IKwition, having peculiar fitness for
its duties, havo been given the cold
shoulder in order that he might be
retained. Again: It is generally
reported and believed, that one half,
or probably more, of the white
guard of the prison voted the I)em-

since it has been discovered that
the two parties are so nearly bal
anced in the coming Convention.
What we know of the matter is to
the effect, thai since the organiza
tion of the Republican party, Dr.
Ransom has been one of its warm
est supporters. At tho late elec
tion for delegates to the Convention
his name appeared at the mast head
of the Republican papers of the
State as a Republican candidate.
He was voted for and elected by
Republican and anti-Convention
men. Before thc election the Demo
cratic press never thought for a
moment of claiming him, but aided
to the extent of their ability in the
election of 8. M. Alexander, the
regular Democratic nominee in
Tyrrell. It is no doubt somewhat
amusing to the Doctor to find that
his opponents are now so ready to
receive him with open arms.
Whatever may lie said by Demo
cratic wire-workers for political
effect, we must either see something
over Dr. Ransom's own signature or
hear something from his own lips
denouncing the friends who worked
and voted for him, before we can
believe him guilty of such gross in
consistency as the Albemarle Times
and other papers attribute to him.
If we are not much mistaken in the
gentleman the authors of such slan
ders upon his character will be made

about the length of the notices ln

When John Exum, the Senator
trom Wayne, died after he was
elected in August, 18o0, Gov. Manly
gave thirty days' notice of the spe
cial election to fill the vacancy in
the Senate caused by the death of
Mr. Exum.
Gov. Brogden followed old pre
cedents in ordering thc special elec
