If we take West Virginia, which , State is not , in cluded in our table, we have the Southern States, in 1870, giving a white majority of more than a mil lion of votes I Yet we hear people talking about "negro rule-"- if eight hundred thousand recently emancipated ne groes could control ONE MILLION eight hundred thousand white, life long freemen. Gentlemen, of the South disparage themselves when they , talk of ne gro rule In the Southern States. They either utter what isnot true, or they proclaim their everlasting shame and disgrace. But the cry of "negro rule" is not raised to proclaim the truth. It is the result of prejudice and political hatred of the colored man; and through falsehood and enmity the hope has been indulged of Inducing the Northern people to turn against the colored people and withdraw the privileges which they extended as an Immediate- result of the war. Mr.Doolittle, and a few other gen tlemen, of Ihe late "Liberal Repub lican party' J at the North, have been induced to declare that "the Reconstruct Ion laws shall be re viewed,, and jthe privileges of negro suilrag rnodified, restricted, and, if necessary, taken away altogether." It was in the hope of making this sentiment .universal 4 at, the North that people at the South have pro claimed they were ffbopelessly and ruinously under negro rule"r-that the mis-management and extrava grance of their State-governments was due to this fatal negro rule and the last card of hope they had to play was the late "JackoJ Clubs" Horace Greeley which they have played so disastrously to them selves, but so' 'fortunately for the country. We hope to hear no more of this "negro rule" now. Recognizing the faithfulness of the negroes of the South during the war, and their unexampled conduct since their emancipation and investment with suffrage, we appeal to every South ern man to do them tardy justice. We grant that they are ignorant ; but have the Southern people en deavored to enlighten them ? They are poor ; but wJmbas for two hun dred years gathered the fruits of their labor? If the tone of their morals is not. the highest, how long have the marriage altar and the school house been institutions among them ? For two hundred years the ne groes have been the tollers of the South, and when" heir masters were engaged in a war to determine their Immediate freedomer perpetual slavery, they were as loyal to the cause of the .white people of the South the cause of their enslave mentas any race of men were ever true to any . cause any section or any country. They have never been unfaithful or wanting, and ingrati tude is not amongtheir faults. The boon of freedom they, accepted as a heaven-sent blessing, and they are demonstrating to ! the world that they are not unworthy of the name of free-men. , !. , They quietly accepted 'what was tendered them,1 with ho manifesta tion of unkindne' toward their for mer masters and in' no' assertions of rights and privileges from' which their color ought to exclude them. They have jnanifestedrno desire to rule the white people of the South. Invested with the privileges pf com plete citizenship 4hey, jave only have their part in.the government of their section, arid of the country1 vhlch they Inhabit by reason of no immigration of their own ; and the hope of their lives' is to find all their old masters in; thorough; political accord with them;, that they may support and cast their .votes for the men with whom -they were born, who reared them and know them, and toward whom they cherish no unkindness, and no resentment. We have outlived and got over, somehow or other, the -divisions and quarrels of thejast few years, and now that . these questions of races and rights havesettled them selves, we appeal to the Southern people to view the matter before them in the light of a new reason; and accepting the voice of the peo ple of this Nation as the voice of the God of Nations, form new lines, new associations, new issues, and, adopt new policies on the basis of domestic peace, political tranquility and Southern happiness and pros perity. . The Wilmington Journal, is somewhat reasonable in its article on the result of Tuesday's work. The Journal says : 1 Wo shall accept the situation just as we believe the Northern people intend that we shall. Complying with all laws, however harsh and unprofitable, re joicing in every material advancement, we shall nevertheless protest in the fu ture, as we have in the past, against ev ery usurpation and encroachment upon the rights of the people, whether they come from the edict of a President, from the vengeance of Congress, or from the corruptions of a judge. Our immediate people have political work enough before them to reform their own State government, and re-establish their State credit. Let us ad dress ourselves to that work with the affection of sons and the enthusiasm, at least, which comes from self-interest. In the re-establishment of our own State credit and all needful re forms in the State government we are heart and soul with the Dest, and in such great work we should be glad to cordially co-operate with The Journal and all patriotic papers and people of the oppos ition. Official Returns of the State Election. The official returns of the August election are not all in yet. The at tention of county authorities is called to the matter and the fines the law imposes for neglect of duty. It is the duty of all county au thorities to have the returns all in for the Speaker of the House on the organization of the Legislature, that the work of contesting the elec tion may not be delayed when the General Assembly meets. Meeting ot the General Assembly. The Legislature of North Carolina meets on Monday, November 18th. It is confidently believed that by Tuesday the 19th, the contested election will be disposed of. The-Y. Manufacturing Co., 21 Courtlandt street, N. Y., have es tablished an " T'mporium of Novel ties" and utilities for e very-day use. Agents, male and female, wanted everywhere. See their ad vertisement in another column. We congratulate the "Demo crats" and " Conservatives" on the prospect of turning out the Repub licans elect and putting in gentle men of their State ticket, for the next four years. Speaking of cheese-making in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee, The Cincinnati Commer cial says : Among other evidences of pro gress at the South may be noticed the increasing interest manifested in' cheese-making, particularly in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. There are four cheese factories in Western North Carolina, which will this year turn out about 100,000 pounds of cheese no great things for the Northern dairy districts, but of much impor tance in that country. This cheese sells for fifteen cents a pound net, and that made at Elk Mountain has been pronounced equal in quality to the best Herkimer county pro duct. Dairying and wool growing are well adapted to many portions of the Southern States, and appear to be growing in favor.

The American Statesman and Patriot. benefactor ; Grant the preserver of hisf country Peace on earth and good will amongmen., . Surry County. aa Q a We learn from The Hickory Tav ern Eagle that Andrew Brinkley, charged with burning the house of Isaiah In gold, In Caldwell county, was tried last week in Lenoir and acquitted. " 1 The .British barque Perseverance from England reached Wilmington Tuesday, with . a cargo or iron for the W. C. & R. R. Now that the din of battle with ballots is over, and the political con test of the past few months is end ed, it is meet and proper that men of all parties should, without pre judice, camly survey the situation and benefit by the result. The mass of the American people on Tuesday last gave a verdict that cannot be misconstrued or perverted. That verdict is before the eyes and in the hearts of all who love good govern ment, and ,it is a terrible shock to the authors of a party who sought the overthrow of an administration in which nearly all the States of this republic had unbounded confi dence. Surely Gen. Grant cannot but feel that he has the plaudits of the whole country, the people hav ing said : " Well done good and faithful servant." No administration since the for mation of our government has had such a thorough and complete en dorsement, considering the deser tion of supposed friends, and the calumny, slander and vituperation of avowed enemies. It may be said of General Grant as it was said of another : " First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." He has shown mag nanimity, liberality and justice to fallen foes on occasions prior to the present; and he will not exhibit less in his future administration of this great government. Then let all who love their country give him their undivided support in uphold ing and preserving that for which he risked his life to maintain and perpetuate to unborn millions. The people who lived before us thought that George Washing ton deserved to control the destinies of the nation for eight years, which he had been instrumental in found ing and perpetuating. ' So the American people on Tuesday last re-asserted the same thing in re electing Ulysses S. Grant, who pre served what Washington had be queathed. Truly, no man could have more appropriately been selected the ru ler of the government one hundred years from its foundation. General Grant will be the President of the United States in 1876, not of thir teen States, but of three times thir teen. I hope to see that memorable day ,and trust that every American, be he high or low, will feel free and equal, and entitled to all the rights and immunities of an American citizen; as made known in the De claration of Independence of 1776. That all may unite in saying : " Grant the deliverer; Grant the Republican Mass-Meeting at Salisbury Riotous Conduct of the Democracy. A mass meeting of the Republi can party was held in Salisbury on Wednesday evening, to celebrate the great victory achieved by the election of the 5th inst. The as sembly was large and enthusiastic. Messrs. Thos. B. Long, W. H. Howerton of Salisbury, Col. W. . Henderson of Lexington, Hon. J . W. Holden and T. M. Argo of Raleigh, Albert H. Do well, Jr., of Asheville, W. S. Pearson of Burke, and many other distinguished Re publicans were in attendance. A very disgraceful occurence was witnessed at the meeting, caused by the Ku Klux Democracy. Hon. J . W. Holden was the first speaker, but his voice was hardly audible owing to the hisses, shouting, hoot ing and braying of a few animals calling themselves Greeley Demo crats. A large number of the so called respectable Democratic citi zens of Salisbury attended the meet ing with the avowed purpose of in sulting the speakers, and to break it up or produce a riot if nothing else. Mr. Holden was so grossly insulted and so frequently inter rnrrfpd hv their shouts, hoots and hisses that he was compelled to defer his speech. Messrs. Argo and Pearson follow Pfl hut met with no better treat ment. The noise and confusion that pnsn pd was sufficient to alarm some of the more respectable citizens of Salisbury, wnereupon ur. jvean took the stand and rebuked the De monracv in a most skathing manner. The Dr. is a strong Democrat, and demeaned himself as a christian gentleman on this occasion. The Dnmocracv took his advice for a few moments, and Mr. Pearson con cluded his speech, whereupon Col. W. F.Henderson was called to the stand. He was greeted with groans, hissps and curses from the Ku Klux eiHo nf tho meetiner. Amid the dirpct confusion some of the Ku Klux present shouted "take him down" "take him down," where unnn it, was evident a riot would ensue. A rush was 'made for the stand but the Republicans present put themselves between the speaker the stand and appealed to the Re publicans to be peaceful and quiet. Thfiv heeded his advice, the meet ing was broken up amid the greatest excitement. The Republicans subsequently adjourned to another stand wnere Col. Thos. B. Long made an effec tive and interesting speech. Albert H. Do well, Jr., followed and spoke for some time in an earnest, eloquent strain, after which the meeting: ad journed with three cheers for Grant and the Union. uatawba. Vote of Wayne.

Taking the arrangement of Senatorial Districts by the last Legislature, alto gether, by our standing table, we put it in the very best light for che "Demo crats," it is susceptible of being made. The population of the State by the Census reports under which the Sena torial Districts were arranged, is 1,071, 461 souls. The population divided among fifty Senators would give an average population to each Senator of 21,429. But to the thirty-two Conserva tive Senatorial Districts the Leg islature allotted an average of 20,S99 Short to each Democratic Senator 530 Now, to each Republican Senato rial District this same Legisla ture allotted a population of 22,371 Proper average, 21,429 An excess over proper average, a population to each Republscan Senator, of 942 Taking the average population al- . lotted to Republican Senatorial Districts . 22,371 and abstracting therefrom the av erage populations in the Con servative Districts, 20,899 we have each Republican Sena tor representing a population of 1,472 more than the Legislature has permitted its Conservative Sen ators to represent. This we say is the very best light tho matter can be placed in. It is the best phase of the gerrymander. We ask the public to examine into it closely and prepare their minds for the exhibition of infamous gerrymandering we shall proceed to give them from time to time, reference being always had to the facts and figures contained in and suggested by the table standing above.
