We are authorized to announce that, owning to unavoidable clr coxnitancea connected with the mechanical department of the paper, the Mechanic and Workingmens Journal will not be Issued this week. Next week however.the publication cf the Journal will be resumed on a permanent basts. ; FranVJii The ladies connected with Hickman Lodze I. O. Good TmddIm talk of hAvlnr a estiva! moon. This lodge we understand is rapidly Increasing In members, as also Is the order throughout the State. South Carolina. The Legislature of this State met In extra session at Columbia, on Tuesday, 22nd Inst. Gov. Moses, In his message, represents the fund ed debt $75,027,503, and the floating debt $5,300597. He recommend', higher taxation, and states that taxes are much lower in South Carolina than the average of the balance of the States. Affolsttmext of Directors. His Excellency Gov. Caldwell has appointed the following gentlemen as Directors on the part of the State la the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal company : C. C Pool of Pas quotank, A. M. Moore of Chowan, and E. F. Baxter, of Currituck Dr. Palemon John of Elizabeth city ; has been appointed State Proxy. The next meeting is expec ted to be held at Norfolk, Va. on the 23d Inst. Xxw Papxr. It Is rumored that T. C Evans Esq., formerly editor of the Hillsboro Recorder and at present connectad with the Rich mond Enquirer intends starting a new paper in this city to be called Evans Independent." Should the rumor be well founded, we heartily wish that Mr. Evan3 may meet with success. He is one of the best paragraphists in this State, and has great experience in every department of the Newspaper Bus . iness, and besides, he la an energet ic, goahead,pushing, never give up sort of a fellow. If he takes a no tion to succeed, Its no use trying to stop him. Something tells us that Evans is going to make a fortune at the newspaper business yet, and every body knows, that a man who can do that, can do almost any thing. Virginia Canvass. The boasting of the Conservati'es in this State, which a short time since was so boisterous and defiant, seems to have been followed by a considerable calm. They are now making close calculations as to how the State is likely to vote, and in stead of predicting a majority num bering thousands they profess to feel satisfied in counting by hun dreds. The fact is. Col. Hughes and hli associates on the State ticket are making a powerful Impression in all sections. The people of Virginia are beginning to find out that the material Interests of their State is of far more importance than all the dead Issues which the old fogy De mocracy are raking up. It is easy to perceive from the tone of the Conservative press that they are badly frightened and if we are not much mistaken the days of the whipping post and pillory are num bered In the old dominion. Graded Schools, The follow log communication from the Com mlttee appointed at the recent citizen's meeting In relation to the establishment of graded schools in this dty, explains itself. We give It without comment: To the CrrirEXS of Raleigh : The Committee appointed by you oo the street of Graded. Schools for white children, have investigated the matter with an earnest desire to establish the same In this city at once. , They find, however, that without considerable cash expenditure it is impossible to do so. The Common School Fund Is only available under the School Law to the extent ol one half the amount needed, it being provided that the other half must be raised by voluntary subscription since we uommiuee were ap pointed, great financial difficulties have occurred, affecting all interests In the United States. After con suiting with' various friends of ed ucation in the dty, they think that an appeal at the present time to the liberality of our people will not be successful.. Hence the Committee conclude that to avoid entering on mo important a work with insuffi cient means, and consequent danger of failure, it Ij best to postpone ac tion until an effort can be made to procure from the General Assembly such special legislation as will ena ble them to carry out the objects for which they were appointed. For the Committee: " K. P. Battle, Chairman. Lecture. Hon. A. M. "Waddell lectures in Metropolitan Hall, in Raleigh, on Friday night next in aid of the Memphis sufferers. We trust our citizens will turnout in large numbers. Remember the afflicted. Reuef fob the Sufferers. We learn that a Grand Concert Is contemplated In Raleigh for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers In the South West. Dr. August Doepp, Prof. Schneider of St. Mary's Seminary, Dr. Von Meyer hoffof the Raleigh Female Semi nary, Prof. Baumann of the Peace Institute, Prof. Grotz of Hillsboro and others, will take part In the movement. The concert is expected to take place on Friday, the 31st Instant. We cannot doubt but that our people will respond with their usual generosity to this call upon their sympathy. Ohio. The returns from this State indi cate the election of Hon. Wm. Cox, Democratic candidate for Governor, by about eight hundred majority. We are not greatly surprised at this result. The colored vote of Ohio numbers about twenty thou sand and they have not been treat ed with that consideration by the Republicans of that State, that their numerical force and political influence entitled them. . In fact they were almost entirely ignored In the distribution of patronage and hence it was reasonable to sup pose they did not take that interest in the' late election they otherwise would have done. The Democratic papers are making a great fuss over the election of Cox.. We can say to these Gentlemen in the South that Mr. Cox is not their kind of Demo crat. He was an old Union Demo crat. He sympathized with and did all he could for the Government during the war. He hates Kuklux and traitors, as his satanic majesty is said to hate Holy water. He has no sympathy with such Democrat as we have in North Carolina. There Is a vast difference gentlemen between a war Democrat North, and a Ku-klux Democrat South. The result in Ohio is no victory for you God forbid it. Close Up. The Republican party of North Carolina cannot afford to remain in a State of inactivity. The time is rapidly approaching when it will again be summoned to do battle in behalf of the great principles that govern the organization. The com ing year, we will'be called upon to elect members of the Legislature, clerks of the Superior Courts, Sher iffs and other officers. The present General Assembly by a most shame ful and unfair gerrymandering of the different Senatorial Districts of the State Is now in the hands of the so-called Conservative party. We can with an united effort hurl these men from position and place the law making power of the government In the hands of those who will pass such laws as may be productive of the most good to all of our people regardless of caste or color. But in order to accomplish this end the Republican party must present a bold and solid front to the cohorts of Ku Kluxism, Liberal Republi- canism and other enemies of the Cliques must be aban petty divisions closed up, people, doned, personal ranklings stopped and neighborhood feuds healed. Shoul der to shoulder, marching under a common banner to the music of the Union, liberty and political equal ity ; actuated by motives of earnest devotion to the principles of our party and having faith in the right as God gives us to see the right, we should not and will not fail. In the meantime we call upon all who are undecided as to " their political course to ponder well over the pres ent position of parties in North Carolina. The platform of the Re publican party is broad eneugh for all good men who love their country to stand upon. There is no sectional plank in it. It is framed to give room upon which the liberty loving citizens from every part of our be loved country can safely stand. The battle flag of our party bears no inscription that cannot bo en dorsed by the men of Texas as well as the men of Maine. This inscrip tion asks nothing of the South that it does not equally demand of the North, East or West. It Is made for all, it invites all, it holds out the welcoming haud to the poor laborer and as cordially receives him as it does the proudest in the land. It demands only of 'those enlisting with ua that they be faithful to the Union of these States, that they recognize the broad principles of government as set forth in our De claration of Independence and that they will discard as a part of their political creed the ideas and relics of barbarism that make sin of a man's color and degredation of his poverty and misfortunes. Let the people of North Carolina ponder well these things. Compare carefully the proud record of the great Republican party on the one hand and the narrow minded sec tional views that govern the so called Conservative organization cn tne otner. weigh them in your minds, study them carefully, casX aside all foolish ante-bellum ideas, rouse up to the present, eaa whin ing for the past, and resolve In the future to take up your line of inarch in the ranks of our great party of dvilization and progress. Now is a good time to throw off the shackles that have bound you to prejudice, and ally yourself to the friends of truth, fairness, honesty and justice. To our friends in the different counties of North Carolina we would say, go to work at once organize your . , county committees, your township committees, hold neigh? borhood gatherings converse with your neighbors; and if any falter, reason with them. If your county Is Democratic by a small majority de termine among yourselves to work unceasingly until that majority is reversed. Democratic members oc cupy seats In the Legislature from many counties by very small ma jorities. Thejrcan be ousted by a little exertion. See to it The Era, will be happy to hear from its friends often. ' Write us and let us know j the prospects. We stand ready at all times to aid you with our counsel and advice.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. The greatest good for the greatest number, being one of the principles of Republicans, we are in favor of such a system of public improve ment as shall best secure that re sult. The necessities of not only Virginia, but of the whole country demand increased , facilities ..for cheap transportation. We are there fore in favor of the early completion of the James River and Kanawha canal, and call upon the Congress of the United States to take this mat ter into consideration at the next session, and make an appropriation for the, same. Believing it to be a national necessity, it should be a national highway. We pledge the Republicans of Virginia to use every endeavor to secure its early com pletion. We also favor such a libv eral system of railroad improve ment as shall tend , to develop all sections of our state, and we call upon the voters of this common- - m . - wealth to unite witn us in securing these desired results.

The Republican party of Virginia in common with the national Re publican party, is opposed to all forms of repudiation, and favor such a flnanicial Policy as shall tend to the payment of the public debt of the State without' being oppressive upon her citizens. We regard the expenses of our State government as disproportioned to the available resources of the people, and demand that they shall be made more fully to confirm thereto. We disapprove all extra compensation, and favor economy in government. State and national j that' we-dpem - the act known as the "funding bill" as im politic, unjust and oppressive, and enacted solely in the . interest of bondholders, regardless of the con dition of the State's resources ; and we are in favor of and demand the submission of the question of the financial obligation of West Vir ginia to Virginia to the supreme court of the - United States for de cision. MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT. We are in favor of the develop ment of the material resources .of our state, which under the rule of the Conservative party and its pre decessors, have lain dormant. The mines of coal, iron and other min erals, the vast water-power, and the many other material resources of the state, which exist in rich pro lusion on every, hand, need but en terprise and capital to develop them, and thus make Virginia one of the greatest manufacturing states in the Union. To this end, we are in favor of such liberal legislation as. shall tend to encourage the invest ment of capital in mining and, manu facturing operations, and of general laws of incorporation, together with such a liberal spirit on the, part of our people as shall invite men of enterprise to come and dwell among US. ' ,;h i : REFORM IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. . We are in favor of reform in the administration of justice in this State, and an enforcement of the State constitution in this respect, which will secure impartial-justice to all, irrespective of nice, color, condition or political sentiment. . u e favor the election of the presi dent, vice-president, and all other officers of the government, as far as possible, by the direct vote of thja people. ; ? , ARBITRATION. .,. 1 .
