VnrV Trthu.HA in All article beaded 'Some Prudential Point." ba aaid -TOthin not altogether unwise. It to Ibe iost ultra of the Radical papers and we do not often find anything in it coi nmpa near akin to common aenae.

It dismisses the Greenback party with a ware of ita hand, for it says : If it bad any purpose, that purpose has wished since resumption brought general pros perity. If it had any adherents they hare gone back to other parties when they hare rtiamvered that the -Greenback party bad no chance of success. Perhaps there will be a Greenback ticket, but there certainly will be no reason to fear it. Of the Democratic party it suggests that the Democratic party, as a party of inflation v repudiation, can make little -vHwftT- Its ablest men see that its ca- roor in that direction is ended. It can get beaten, if it likes, by kicking sgainst the cricks indefinitely, but it will not commit ' itself to soft-money notions unless ithae lost all hope of success, and has decided to make such a failure as will leare it less embarrassed thereafter. Perhaps the money qmtion may be dodged ; perhaps it may h rnAp mnsnicuous without a cnance or hone of success ; but this is tolerably cer tain; that the Democratic party will not nt Mtress on Questions of that sort if it fights to win. Foreshadowing the action of Congress at the approaching session, it predicts that the outcry about federal election laws will be abandoned- Democrats know that it was a blunder. They see, what they ought to hare seen before they began the contest at the last session of Congress, that no party can afford to stake ita ex istence upon its success in sweeping away lawa designed to prevent fraud. If the existing laws are defective, amendments can be proposed. But it is not possible to put amendments into such form that they hAll constitute a prominent issue for a national contest. In fact after a surrey of the ground it ctn find no issue at all, on which the Dem ocrats can go to the country, for it declares that the course of the government toward the South will not be a matter of impor tance in partisan discussion. The Repub licans will not, and the Democrats cannot. assail the extremely lenient and generous course of the present administration. All discussion as to the course of any previous administration will be treated with con tempt by a people who do not propose to revive the previous administration. Clat ter about Grantism and Imperialism will be disposed of, if, as we believe the Re publicans see fit to disregard tbe few men who wish a third term for tneir own con- ite are not above Tlstcnliglo what our enemies may say. It does us no harm But we suspect that long before the next election, tbe Tribune will find the i wues already raised cannot be put aside so easily as it imagines, and that tbey are broad and strong enough to carry. Democrats into power. the INTERVIEW. Now is the time of tbe year when the average Congressman arriving at Wash ington City will put up temporarily at a first-class hotel and send bis card around to .some reporter asking for an interview. We may look out for more Congress ional interviews in inese Indian sum mer days than there were falling stars on the night when Prof. Tice declared we were to have a shower. Every Congressman will be delighted to see his name in big letters, and his views spread put for tbe delectation and edifica tion of the people. We do not object merely because the operation will enlarge the self esteem of these honorable Colonels and Majors. But we do object to tbe in fliction upon the community of so much balderdash as will be served up by the too yielding reporters.- The views of the average Congressman amount to nothing. In point of fact, judging from some samples we have lately seen, they amount to less than nothing. Their hindsight is, however, very much better than their fore sight. Tbey amuse themselves with tell ing the why and tbe wherefore of our de . feat in Ohio, and in abusing this, that and the other possible Presidential nominee. The latest phase of opinion developed by this new fangied system of interview is somewhat startling. . . If Congressmen are to be believed, it indicates that the country at large have de spaired' of the republic, because Boss Kelly took it into his bead to run as an in dependent candidate in New York State. It also tescbes us that Southern folks would prefer Grant as a dictator for life, to the election of some other Radical for four years in the regular way. In fact, it tells us much nonsense. The average Congressman never was a very wise fellow, and just now he seems . to have lost his heacl completely. We brg that tbe reporters will spare us from any more in' erviews. Let us wait in patience until Congress shall meet, and and then let every Southern members think twice before he speaks.

Thrasher who has just died in Gal veston has apparently played a man's part in tbe affairs of the world. He was a native of Maine, and early became a journalist. "In 1849 he purchased the Faro Indus trial, of Havana, a daily paper, which he conducted as chief editor until the 1st September, 1851, when it waa suppressed by Gen. Jose de la Concha. - Thrasher's paper was at that time the only organ of the Liberal party on the Island. On that day, the memorable 1st September, Gen. Narciso Lopes was executed for invading Cuba at tbe bead of a military expedition, 400 men stiong. composed mostly of Americans and a few Cubans and Hunga rians. Thrssber, together with Mr, Charles Callahan, who was in Havana at correspondent of the Picayune, and Mr. Smith, the English Vice. Consul in that cit;, ministered to the wants of the American prisoners, furnishing them with clothing and provisions, and attending to their correspondence with their families. . A few days after these events, Mr. Tbrsaber was arrested, tried before a court- mania, and sentenced to ten years impris onment at bard labor in Ceuta, with per. petual prohibition of I returning io Cuba. Several months after his incarceration, he waa released at tbe solicitation of Mr, Barringer, of North Carolina, the Xhea United States Minister at Madrid, and bis worthy wife, who obtained our friend's freedom from Queen Isabella IL Mr. Thrasher then travelled extensively through Europe and in 1852 came to New Orleans, where he established a .Sunday paper, the ' Beacon of Cuba", in the English language. - He also organised t political association .denominated .the 'Joven Cub.' He afterwards j lined the editorial staff of the Picayune. '. in 1853, 1854 and early in 1855 be acted with Gen. John A. Quitman, Capt. Geo. B. McClellan, Capt. Gustavus W. Smith. J. K. Duncan and tbe Cuban Junta--com posed of Gas par Betan court Cisnerous, Francisco Prias, Count of Puzos Dulces, Porflno Valiente and Domingo Goicouna in order to fit out a military expedition under Gen Quitman, and once more at tempt tbe independence of Cuba. - 'Their plans were thwarted by the Federal Gov; mento , - : : - : He afterwards did a great deal of bril liant r intellectual work. . He served in the South during the war. After its close be devoted himself again to writing in New York. j I The Galveston New$ savs he was "a man of talents, a fine scholar, a proficient in statistics, of large and varied informa tion, progressive ideas iand liberal views. He was true to his friends, thoroughly honest, and a genial and . jovial com pan. ion. , .. . Ahd now comes one Dr. Jager, a Ger man philosopher, and says that be has found out where the soul resides. It is ! not in the heart nor in the mind : ; but in tbe nose.- He knows about it. ', From the votes at recent elections on the Pacific slope, it is estimated that the pop uiation the-e isl.20o.uou, as compared with 1 about 831.000 when the last census was taken " - ! taken. i Ttt TrwlnRtrial Exhibition of the people that opened here on yesterday is highly creditable to them in eTery respect. A a enterprise it shows that they are seeking their improTement and are earnest in their efforts to elevate their race. The exhibits are. good and indicate that the colored folks bereaboutsare not a thriftless set by any means. We hare not at hand a reliable estimate of the quantity of land negroes own in Korth Carolina; bat it is Tery considerable and ia increasing each year. A great deal of the fanning in thia ouue is oone en- tirelv by negroes Twbo either rent the land I for money, or ior a part ox - wnrk on shares upon other terms satisfac- tortAthem. There are many negro schools taught in North Carolina, and a considerable nam- ber of military companies nave Deen formed by the negroes under our general law. All these things indicate the in creasing prosperity of these people since . m tbe exit of the carpet-Dagger ana withdrawal of the Freedmen'a Bureau from the State. So long as vile fellows came down from the North to stir them up sgainst their white neighbors, they were discontented and unhappy; ao long as they were trained to look to th3 Freed men's Bureau as a refuge from the ills of life, they were thriftless, wanting in self-reliance and did not look to the State law -for rprotection. In tbe progress of time all such Republican artifices to con trol their votes have been withdrawn, and they now cultivate kindly sentiments to wards the whites, and try to make their iving under the law like other people. They have quite forgotten that they are the "wards of the nation,' and feel that they are no different from other folks in matter of meat and bread, which is one of the crime objects, of their existence. Their fair now. being held is a mark of their progress in the various walks of life. There are five papers published by colored people in North Carolina. Some of these we have seen, others we have not. Those we have seen are certainly conducted in the interest of good government and with a tiew of promoting natural and friendly relations between the races. All these things show that the negroes are steadily Improving among us, and give tbe lie to the slanders which Secretaries Sherman, Evarta, and other Radical speakers have been retailing about the Soutn throughout the North. Indeed, we do not know but that these gentry will now engage in an other cruasade against us for letting the negroes manage their concerns unmo lested, and we more than suspect that they will raise a furore among the faithful at tbe Norih over the latest and most dreadful outrage upon the rights of the North in this matter. No negro fair has ever been held at the North, and therefore it is derogatory to "Northern civilization" that one should be allowed in North Caro lina. Well, let the outrage mill do its work the people of North Carolina will boom along in their own way without giving much heed to what tbe rascally politicians of tbe North propose. Just forty-three years ago yesterday. 'me gruunu io rvsieign was covered witn snow, shoe-deep. It was the third Mon day in November, 1836. The Legisla ture met that day in the Governor's man sion, and tbe County Court of Wake met in tbe old wooden court-house, now Cook's HoteL The Legislature held its first session in the Capitol in November, 1840. Governor Morehead was inaugurated in the new Capitol on the first day of January, 1841. The Senate was presided over in 1836 by Hugh Waddell, of Orange, and the House of Commons by William H. Haywood, Jr., of Wake. The Maine Sensation. - Something of a sensation has been created here by reports from Maine of a purpose on tbe part of Gov. Garcelon and the Democratic council to throw out enough Republican members elect of the Legislature to give the Democrats a ma jonty. A report was current that Senator Blaine bad applied to 'Washington for troops, but inquiry proved this to be groundless. Tbe facts in tbe case appears to be that a number of Republicans were elected to the Legislature through fraud and bribery, but there is no evidence to justify the supposition that in canvassing the votes the Governor and his council will resort to any proceedings not author ized by the law of Maine. The KellosS-SpofforU Committee. - Nsw Ohliiss, November 16. Senators Cameron, Hill and Vance, the Kellogg Spofford investigating sub committee, ar rived here to day accompanied by James R. Randall, of the Augusta Chronicle and Canstitutio7iaUt, as clerk : S. W. Small, of the Atlanta Constitution, as stenogra pher, and Gen. Wilcox as sergeant at arms. ..The investigation will begin to morrow in parlor G of tbe St. Charles HoteL The indications point to two weeks' labor for the committee. ' Unprecedented Drought in Vlrg-inla. i Pstbbsbubo, Va., November 16. The drought which has prevailed to such an alarming extent in this section of tbe State during the past three months is causing great anxiety and uneasiness. Wells and streams are drying up, and in some ad jacent counties people are compelled to travel miles in vehicles in search of water for family use. In several of the churches here to-day prayers were offered for the much needed rain. - - Dashed His Brains Out. Baltimore, November 16. William Harry. Worlhing'on, aged thirty-five, bookkeeper in the grain house of Golds -borough & Johnson, South and German streets, while insane from typhoid fever, jumped from a fourth story window of tbe Mansion house to the sidewalk of St. Paul street, dashing out his brains. We hear of a considerable number of persons who went on tbe Wilmington ex cursion from the western counties. It is greatly to be hoped that they enjoyed themselves, and that tbey will come back better North Carolinians. The late elec tions in the North seem to show a spirit in that people to let us very severely alone down here. ' Suppose we agree to ' that and do our trading hereafter at home as far as may be.

Th ame is true of every Southern State. It is not tbe first time that they have mis judged iie temper of the Southern peo nle in matters involving their serious con- vintinn nf dutv to themselves and the conntrv." While this is believed to be the exact nnhtic&l situation as it at present appears, and while it is thus recognized by some of the politicians here who are working the Grant movement, it is still claimed by them that certain contingencies may arise which will entirely reverse the situation, not only as regards the South, but as re gards New York. Within tbe last few rtavs conferences nave been held in this ritv bv certain friends of Gen. Grant, in cluding some who are known to possess his personal confidence, Tbe suggestion was made that the whole country would be elec trifled if Gen. Grant was promptly brought out as a candidate for tbe r residency. nnt nf a nolitical convention, but as a non-partisan in every sense of the word as tbe candidate of the people, both of tbe South and of the North. It may not be riiuhLed that such a programme as this would meet entire satisfaction from Gen. Grant, if be should once be satisfied that it can be successfully executed. That is the Question. It is considered as settled and this is thoroughly understood by Gen eral Grant's friends here that his candi- danv in anv event, whether partisan or hnn nsrtisan. will depend upon his own indirment and confidence as to the cer tainty of his election. ; A Democratic statesman, whose own name has several times been ' men tioned in connection with Lis party nomi nation for the Presidency, in covereation with vour correspondent since General Grant's return to the United States, re marked that nothing was more convinc- never run ior tne iresiaencv n any reasonable doubt surrounded the result. There is no difficulty, therefore, in ac counting for the reserve whicn General Grant has maintained on the subject of the Presidency since he set foot on his native shores. Nor need there be any ap prehension that when the time comes for him to speak out. he will not do so in terms which cannot be mistaken.

He Would Carry Every Doubtful State Ko Says Col. Uroauneaa. CoL James O. Broadhead, a Missouri gentleman whose name is a pretty g od indicative of his character, was in Wash ington last week. Leeal business cilled him hither, but as a Post reporter ascer tained, he is not averse to the discussion of politics. . "You had something to do with fash -ioning the Democratic ticket in 1878, had you not, Colonel ?" inquired the Post. "I have been accused of it, so far as the tail end of the ticket was concerned. But, really, I was a very humble member of the convention. I never saw i the celebrated letter addressed to me that gained Frank Blair the Vice-Presidential nomination until after it was in print.' "Had you any hope of ejecting the t cket nominated then ?" ' "Certainly not. It was a mere form to keep up the organization. Gov. Seymour recognized that fact; and had very decided scruples against being tbe candidate. I was in the convention and know that his declinstion was genuine, and that be really meant it, but fioally accepted in the hope that the use of his name would be benefi cial to tbe party, even if injurious to him personally." "Do you think it wouldVbe a j idicions ac'ion on the part of the Democracy to again nominate him ,? I ''The very best thing that can be done. But I hardly believe he will accept. Sey mour would carry every doubtful State in the country. As opposed to Grant, whom I i think certain to be tbe Republican nominee, he would carry Ohio. Foster only bad a majority of 2,0 0 in that State, and the Cincinnati and Cleveland Ger mans, who would desert Grant in a body, as ra s desert a sinking ship,! would change that very quickly it the alternative of Grant or Seymour were presented to them. I make that statement on tbe authority of ex-Senator John B. Henderson, and I think he got bis points from Carl Schurz." ... . i ... "The Democrats have a splendid oppor tunity, and if tbey don't follow their usual practice, and make fools of themselves be fore the next election, tbey will elect their man next year,' added the Colonel. "The idea of Seymour is an inspiration, and if he can only be induced to accept, be cer tainly will be elected." I "Tbe two candidates must come from New York aod Indiana," remarked the Post. . - ' "Bayard, who is prominently mentioned as a candidate, would, I think, be able to carry New -York, and in case 8eymour positively refuses, he would be the most available man to choose. Potter, who has been mentioned, is out of the question. I regard him as the author of all our troubles. His resolution to investigate Hayes' title rallied the stalwart Republi cans' to the defense of Mr. Hayes, and em barrassed the Democracy seriously. Mr, Hendricks, for whom I have a very warm feeling, would be objectionable to Eastern Democrats on account of his soft-money views. Looking the field over, I regard tne Post s suggestion the best that could be made, but am apprehensive that Mr. Seymour would decline,' although his candidacy would insure certain victory. mr. oeymours nomination would nave a strong tendency to bring about that result. The Boston Courier says it's a sneeay thing to take snuff; . " i rcoT.-espondenee of ths Nsw York, Not. 14th, 1879. w.;TTfce day fixed for enn Flint). BA LEIGH, Vlrxlnl Wd Hswlae l unrsuic , . .
