THIS j fFrom the Kfa.1 3X$iIcIXn'VrliilotIxe Jint The Kepnllieaii party, in the gu bernatorial election of 1SG, at a time .when it was - Init imperfectly organized, and with a large ratio of lis noting force entirely uninstructed as to tlie importance of, exercising the franchise, then but recently con ferred ' upon them by the action of the general government, carried the State of North Carolina by a majori ty of 18,011 . votes: ;nd, upon the presumption that" the 8,888 register ed voters who did 'hot go to- the polls were all whites, the returns fchow. an active ' wliitc lie publican strength at that tinte of 0,578 vo tersl The 'Presidential election re turns of tlie same year" show a gain of nearly 4,000 votes, while the re 'tunis of the gubernatorial election of 182 show another gain of more than 2,100 votes, for the Republican party. It must not be disguised, however, that the disunion party in .North Carolina has been constantly increasing in strength in this State Bincc 1808, until in .November 1872, when there was a heavy tailing oil m its vote. In ISC, it polled" 7:J,5'U votes at the .State election, while at Jhe Presidential election of the same year it made a gain of nearly 10,000 votes: and in 1870 another gram of nearly 3,000 votes. ' Furthermore, although the Republican party has sustained no general loss except in 1870, in the gubernatorial election of 18 1 2 the , (Lusunionists .made another gain of about. 9,000 votes', .but losing in the neighborhood of 30,000 in the Presidential election of the same year. ? Now these figures teach us much that should be "highly encouraging, vet. I at the same time, much that should stimulate us to greater ex-1 ertion in the luture. . . lhey show that,1 except in the year 1870, when the Ku Klux were striking terror to the hearts of thousands ; of inoffen sive and peaceable citizens, through the agency of midnight tissnssina tions, our iarty has ' not only been able to hold its own in North Caro lina, but has constantly increased in numbers, and influence, and has in variably been able to cany the State by a creditable majority. This, too, has been achieved in the face of such frauds and intimidations as were nev er known before in the history of popular elections. Yet, while this is true; it behooves the Republican par ty to remember that it is confronted by " a wily, an active, and an unscrupu lous foe; and a foe, too, that has been constantly, either by fair means or by foul, gathering new strength with which to" enter upon each new con test.! Now, however, is the time to . t . i i i ...:n striKc tne uecisive uio.v mat m overwhelm that energetic adversary with such a defeat as can never be retrieved. Last November the dis union' party of North, Carolina re ceived a stunning reproof at the polls a rebuke from which it has not yet recovered and from which it will never recover if the Republican par ty will but take advantage of its splendid victory. This it should do by immediately perfecting its organi zation in every county of the State; by assiduously entering upon the work ot pointing out the deceptions which have been practiced upon the honest Union masses, who have been seduced into error uy too buna a confidence in former: leaders of the Union party of North Carolina,- who hayq appstacised since the war; and by disprovingas can jeasily be done the thousands of malicious false hoods, and exposing the insincerity and dishonesty of the thousands of specious promises .which have ema nated from disunion politicians and newspapers. In sucli counties par ticularly as Chatham, Randolph, Guilford. Johnston, Moore, Mont gomery, Stanley, Harnett, and many others that durintr the war were union strongholds but Ywiicti are now almost wholly in the power of the disunionisLs,the Republican -party should see that untiring efforts be made to liave its principles and poli cy understood; and to convince the people of its honesty of purpose, its patriotism of intention, ami its un sectional devotion to the interests of all parts of the countyfand all clas-'cs 'of men. The fact thouid be made plain to the stnnlv, pt ace-luving un- lonists ot the midland counties, who liavb never filtered to their fidelity t the government of Washington md Adam-, that the declarations ot disuuiouists, t(i the effect that .h Kepubliean party . proposes to make tlK white race in the United State subser"icut to tho colored race, are utterly false; and "that it only proposes to gave equal and. ex act justice to men of all classes, con ditions, races and colors. Let it be understood that the party is pledged to honesty, reform, and the perpet uation of justice and union, aud hun dreds who have strayed away after the false gods of disunion will return to the ark of Republican safety. Now, wo repeat, is the time for this work to be commenced. It 'will not do to wait till men's minds are blinded with prejudice by thrt hen and exciteinenU of a hotly contested political campaign. The enemy was routed ana demolished last T ovem bcr. Next August, his annihilation Fhouia lollow. iNow is the time to organize for that triumph. Nice Work nrLiGnTxixc?. One i of the nicest little nieces of work ever done by electricity- something impossible for human hands to do was accomplished at the residence ot 31 r. V . V . Urown. on Fifteenth street, near 3Iain, on Wednesday afternoon. On a stand in the parlor stood a toy bureau, a beautiful little piece ol cabinet skill, with portions of its .corner columns gilded. It wa surmounted with.: mirror. About a foot from the bu reau lay; a photograph of 3Ir lSrownsson Avlule immediately op posite the picture wa.- a stereoscope The stand was near an open window. YV ell, the lightning and a. very mi nute portion of electricity, it must have been entered the room, took a part of the gilding from one of the posts of the bureau as cleanly as could be, and transferred it to the picture, fixing it right across the tacc of the lad, where it remains brighter than when on the bureau. Not a particlo t ixilt is left on the part of the bureau thus despoiled of its ornamentation. - it would be ut terly impossible for any human art to accomplish the feat. The lightning played an instant on the fii33 of tlie mirror, leaving dark zigr zag streaks tlure that will remain vsiible as lo:ig as the glass is glass; and tlrs is funny, too, for glass and lightning have nothing to do with each o'.her, as a general rule. Of course 3Ir. Drown intends pre serving these specimens of electrical work. Davenport Gazette. A Louisville drummer was the other day giving his experience in the Red River country- "In a small town below Shreveport," he said," I wa going arou id with my samples, when' I met a green gavi;ish; coun try fellow with two fa:::y red strings hanging down on each side of his boot-legs, which I supposed were drawer strings not knowing that they wore red strings around their legs in th it country for ornament. In a spir it of kindness I s.iid, 'Stranger, your drawer-strings are hanging down, lie gave me a s.iyage look, put his hand on his ptetol-bclt; and drawled out, 'Look-a-her?, mister, arc you running them strings T -1 A wife of nearly ten years, having given her servant a holliday, was at tending to culinary matters herself, the kitchen, thought she would sur- prise him as soon as he entered the ?

Tlie reputation of members of the Legislatiue for sobriety seems to be rather bad in Kentucky. Two of them were rather noisily drunk on a railroad traini the other day, and when .the conductor remonstrated,' one of them pompously asked : " Do you not know, bir, that 1 am a mem ber of the Legislature?"' The con ductor quietly replied, You've got the symptoms.' A K-hocl-boy being requested to write a composition upon the sub ject of, lini" produced the follow aig: "1'ins are very ueful.
