Rice, special - correspondent of the Raleigh News, writing jfrom Oxford under date of March (13th, has the following to say in regard to politics in Granville; , j ! "DissensloAs, disorganization, and complete demoralization prevail in the republican i party, and j the democrats are determined Ir the near future to wrest the govern ment of the county from the hands which have so long mismanaged its affairs! This could hate been lone Jong ago, by a very simple process, vit: by democrats refusing ,o sign the bonds of republican officers. But for this material aid, tihe offices , would now be filled by d emqcrats. jWhat is the difference between vo ting for a republican and acting j as jstrretyifor the faithful ; performance of his duty? Let the democratic bondsmen of republican office hold ers in North ) Carolina answer if they can." jf ' .'u-.-- ; r y.... While we cannot altogether agree with the Doctor in his statements i . ''ii . as to the "complete demoralization" of the radical party in Granville, yet we can5 heartily substantiate him in the assertion that the Demo crats Shave resolved, if possible, to drivel the rads in ignominious dis grace; from the offices they have so long mismanaged, and thatthe pros pects are remarkably cheering for such a result. !U , In the latter portion of the ex ract he strikes the key note of the entire positiona note we have been sounding for. the past month in the Lance and one which we honestly think is to prove of more value i and force than all the1 other arguments we can use in the Com ing campaign. As we have already said, without this Democratic aid scarcely a rad in the county i can give a good bond, and what! excuse- then can be made for such democrats as shall in the, future as sist in keeping any of the misera ble crew in office. " ; ' ! Better, ' far better, that every democrat disposed so toxact should at once fall into radicalaine.! iHis vote will do us much less harm than his name upon a; Radical official bondfor the first we can! neutra lize, while the latter utterly nullifies the United efforts of our entire par ty. ; v. ;i;v ; with all sorts-of ADJOl ttTJ) It A 1 1, It OAl , ; .

It is the province of every good citizen to raise his voice and his arms at ail; times in defence of his State to avert any impending calamity. It is to be presumed that there are riumDers of Democrats in the medical i- fraternity, good men and true, who never have been, nor can be led astray, by the glitter and glare of office,! and who are ' amply qualified to fiil this position.! Then why retain Dr.1 Grissom ? ! He may be all right now, but he certainly was all wrong a few short years since, and it ig reasonable to suppose if the opportunity offers and he is again tempted; he will again fall. As yet we hive seen no evidences of his contrition for the past. We ask how longj "would a. democrat have remained n office hid the Rad-. icals been victorious in the jlast cam paign? ThelVVilson Advance hits the nail, squarely in saying that "the Board should have elected a Democratic Superintendent every way worthy to fill the. office, and then the question of Dr. Grissom's legal right to hold over could have been setiled in a short time by the Courts and no One would" have been to blame." i I : i5 I i rn l jr r - r v-v At Oxford WEDMBSDMC APUt . 1. ...... a f , f .

The ' "Newber nian" talks in this wise on the sub ject' ; ij !; ' This action of the Board is no in accord with the desires orj wish es of a large majority of th e Dem ocratic party in this State, nor with the promises made during the cam paign of 1876. i We have no per sonal bias or prejudice against (Dr. Grissom, but we do think his past actions ana affiliations in the dark est hour of North Carolina's histo ry, when' she' was encompassed on every side by bitter and uncom promising partisans,1 should be" suf ficient ground to warrant his remo val. lhe same spirit of hate that raised the mailed hand of a Kirk and a Burgen against us, and j put the iron heel of militarv despotism upon our necks, orisrinally elevated Dr. Grissom to the position he now occupies by the sanction and ton sentpi a Uemocratic Directory.! It was generally understood in the last campaign that reform in every department andfoffice was the chart and compass by which the Demo cratic party was to be guided, and that in the event of . victory thefau gean stables were to be: purged swept and cleansedj and that none but Democrats, pure and undented, were to be put on guard from jthe officer or the day down to the senti nel that walks his beat. How have these promises been kept and ful filled ? We t do not speak of jDr. Grissom alone, though his retention is the most glaring disregard of , the i; wishes of the Deraoc racy on reeord.
