Among the rising young men of the State no one promises jmore fairly to become early and eminent ly distinguished than the gentle man whose name heads this article. Indeed, though yet very young, he has already attained to a position in the esteem and confidence of his par ty, possessed by no other man, 'of his age, in the State. His recent cam paign in the West in behalf of the Republican nominees for President and Vice-President has added still j stronger evidence of the "justness of the estimate which his friends place upon his ability. Upon such young men. will greatly depend, not only the success of the Republican party, but the general prosperity of the State. ; : ; their cries of Republican frauds were intended to cover up.

Wilson,.in Greensboro, on Friday, November 8, 1872. The deceased was about eighty years of age and had been a promi nent working Minister in the Meth odist Church from early manhood, and for some twenty years was a Presiding Elder in various Districts of the State. At the time of his death, Mr. Reid was a resident of Franklin county, and had retired i from the active duties of the Min- 1 istry. 1 , " . At the Republican State Conven I tion in this city last April, Mr. Reid was nominated for the posi tion of Superintendent of Public In struction, and in August was elected ; with the balance of the Republican State ticket. He was to have entered upon the duties of his office the first of Jan uary. A -well remembered old land mark has disappeared forever. terday from some of his recent sup porters in this city, on the fire in Boston. j We are ashamed to say hen - ashamed for the honor and crood name of North Carol inians-j-to re peat what prominent gentlemen of this city remarked yesterday on hearing the news of the great fire in Boston. It is enough to say that a lively satisfaction at the calamity of the Boston people found expres sion on our streets in hard, cold, unchristian-like words, betokening a demoralized, uncivilized state of public feeling, and giving tlie lie to the recent professions made! by .the Southern leaders campaign. a of the The Daily News. Ireeley i The future is dark and ploomj- for Uio Stato and nation. Daily Xacs. What good effect can this sort of talk have on the public mind? I And when we reflect that the pros Ierity and progress of North Caro lina and the whole country is un exampled, and astounding to the world, we lose all patience with such croaking fault-finders, wilfull obstructors, and malicious agitators. Which is the Party of Hntc ? While TJte Raleigh Nexcs and the other " Conservative " organs of ; sectional strife and party hatred are endeavoring to "fire the Southern heart," the Republicans are full of Joy andkindness. A prominent Republican writing to us from Alamance county; 'says : " We all feel so good up here on " account of our success that we are full of charity and forgiveness to " ward all those people who have " treated us so badly." ' 1 The enterprise of the editors and managers of The Daily JVeics of this city, in getting out and serving the latest important news is very mark ed, and deserves more than a pass ing observation. On two recent occasions) impor-. tant local occurrences after the hour of midnight have been found in de tail in the early morning's paper, and yesterday the public was promptly served with Bulletins and Extras giving the details and pro gress of the great fire in Boston. The importance and benefits of such a paper to the business public and the commercial community, cannot be over-estimated, nor meas ured by the necessities of bur peo ple in general ; and whoever is inter ested in the growth, prosperity and welfare of Raleigh, and yet with holds his support and encourage ment from this enterprising neics paper stands very much in the way and in the light of his own self-interest ; polities, "nevertheless, to the contrary, notwithstanding." Horace Greeley is emphatically and truly a working man. He can not afford to be an idle body in thi3 busy, moving world. The day after the election Mr. Greeley resumes control of his paper, and goes to work with his accustomed vim and vigor. The world will profit by his return to journalism. He can and will do the country more service in the editorial, than he could have ac complished in the Presidential chair! We are glad to see him back home. He comes with this splendid announcement :y A CARD. Th'c undersigned resumes the Editor ship of The Tribune, -which he relin quished on embarking in another line of business six months ago. Henceforth, it shall be his endeavor to make this a thoroughly independent journal, treat ing all parties and political movements with judicial fairness and candor, but courting the favor and deprecating tbe wrath of no one. If he can hereafter say anything that will tend to heartily unite the whole American People on the broad platform of Universal Amnesty and Impartail Suffrage, he will gladly do so. For the present, however, he can best commend that consummation by silence and for bearance. The victors in our late strug gle can hardly fail to take the whole subject. of Southern rights and wrongs into early and earnest consideration, and to them, for the present, he remits it. Since he will never again be a candi date foir any office, and is not in full ac cord, iwith either of the great parties which have hitherto divided the coun try, he will be able and will endeavor to give wider and steadier regard to the progress of Science,' Industry, and the Useful Arts, than a partisan journal can do j and he will not be provoked to in dulgence in those bitter personalities which Sare the recognized bane of jour nalism. Sustained by a generous pub lic, hoj will do his best to make The Tribune a power in the broader fields it now Contemplates, as, when Human Freedom was imperiled, it was in the arena of political partisanship. : Respectfully, their totes, because, forsooth :. they declined to vote for him. The jeics must do better. It must expand its editorial brain, enlarge the area of its vision, and i raKe a more comprenensive vievy. of the situation, for it evidently lacks the metal to carry on the mode of warfare it has undertaken. And, speaking somewhat advis edly of the prevailing sentiment among the better classes of the State, we would suggest to TJie Nexcs, that, unless it tones its articles more in coniormuy witn lacts, ana ceases its efforts to depress, distress and needlessly agitate . the people of North Carolina, it will speedily find itself without a paying list of subscribers; for this people have been trifled with, pulled and hauled, excited and "set by the horns" bv the "small fry" of the State about as long as they intend to. telligence of our so-called Conserva tive friends ?

New- York, Nov, Horace Grkklev. G, 1872. The Contested State Election ! Paradoxical. We have seen Southern politicians go to war to establish a Confederacy based on human slavery, and they did it in the name of "Freedom." We have seen secessionists revolt against their government and fight to their death to destroy it, and they did it in the name of "Patri otism." And now comes Tlie Daily SWncs charging that the re-election of President Grant by thirty of the States of the American Union v and Twelve counties, casting more than one-fifth of the August vote of the State, are heard from officially, and " pop goes the weasel " of the contested election by Judge Mcrri- mon and his associates on the beaten State ticket ! Alamance, Cabarrus, Cumberland, Edgecombe Lincoln, Northampton, Wake, Warren and Wayne, twelve of the ninety-two counties of the State, which, in August, cast 39,G68 ofthel9o,3Gl votes given to Cald well and Merrimon together, have been officially reported and where Craven, Lenoir, Union, The Fight Sectional. Tire North forced the recent national struggle to. turn on sectional issues. Notwithstanding the fact that the people of the South voted for their life-long po- litical , opponent for President, as an evidence of their anxiety to bury the past, I. jet the result shows that Mr. Greeley carried only five. or six South ern States, and did not receive the elec toral ybte of a single Northern State. This fact alone shows'-more plainly than any argument wo could use that Greeley M as defeated at the North be cause he was in favor of extending magnanimity to the South, Raleigh Nctcsl'.', This Editor of The Xeics contra dicts himself in the above article, and saves us the trouble of pro nouncing his statements and infer ences untrue. .When he says the fight was sec tional and that "the North forced the recent National struggle to turn and Congressional tickets in the county, both of which tickets were elected by a handsome majority.

It will be proper to state that the name of one of the Greeley electors was printed three different ways, viz : F. Bre vard McDowell, E. Brevard Mc Dowell, and Brevard McDowell. This discrepancy was discovered at the Kinston box, and returns made accordingly. Where is all. tho in- each 'for his f own Durnoses. Prominent among these charged writh such ap propriation is Ethan Allen, chair man of the Liberal committee, ex marshal Robt. Murray, who is una ble to spell the commonest words, andthe notorious WTm. P. Wood of this city, ex-detective of the Treas ury .Department ; who it is charged, made a nice haul. As Grant gave nothing to secure his election, while Greeley gave $6,000 to a set of as lerocious scamps as the nation af-. lords, it may be said that here the reform comes in. It is well now since the election is over to give the movers of the Greeley cause the benefit of these facts. :!.!..- I Life. ' ; i'orsytne reports a Grant majority of d40.
