Again Massachusetts vomits -up the Iiea9t. lien will have to go out peddling his opinions once more. '.Tie Philadelphia 77 iiics foots, up the result of Tuesday's elections as follows Democrats elected to the House of Repre sentatives 1C:7 ; Republicans. 115 ; (jreen- baek -Democrats, 8 ; .Greenback 1'epubli cans, 2 : to be elected, 2. In the present Congress there are 155 Democrats and 138 Republicans. New York lias done a very bad thing WeH may the honest, earnest Democrat exclaim,: ' " A plague on both your houses ! " f oor chance presidentially for a State which tli rows off like she did, Tuesday. Stealing living bodies with hope of re ward and dead bodies for dissection are crimes against which punishu.ent has been meted out whenever it has .been possible. But -it was reserved for some body snatch ers in New York to take the remains of A. T. Iptewart from their resting place in the family vault, to hold in expectation of receiving a reward for their recovery. Tin-: hi;uji in north carouna. The telegrams of The Hex contain the latest intelligence. At the hour of writing this intelligence warrants the claim that North Carolina lias -done better than she did last Tuesday, only in general elections when the people were thoroughly aroused. 'flie re-election of .Joseph J. Davis by a largely increased majority is -profoundly gratifying news. There were fears' that the Turner movement might defeat- him. Part '.he and his friends made a.fine canvass with brilliant results. The heavy majority given (ien. Scales was hardly looked for. It was not believed that the-, infamous Ton rgee "could by any jpos.suility be elected, however. - Kitchin, in the Second District, made a magnificent run, and, despite tremendous odds, beat O'Hara, the leading Radical can didate, by a h'anuiome majority. '..Comments on the result in the other Districts will be reserved until later news is received. wealth of nations how to live best has made rapid strides since the time of Adam Smith. Great statesmen like Canning. Peel, Cobden, Bright and Gladstone have given to it the lucubrations ot twjee twen ty years. Learned writers like the Mills Bagehof and Jevons have made it their life work. It has entered into litpmtnw the lecture arena, politics-in fact every thingin Great Britain (or the last forty years, ana in t ranee-dunnga shorter pe riod it has been a leading topic of discus sion. In Germany too, it isbecoming par amount. Since the settlement of the re construction issues in this countrv. it has sprung suddenly to the front as the finest ion of the hour, as was remarked above. Here Hendricks, Bayard, Thurmah and other in public life and Prof. Woolsey, the New York World, the New York Kvening Pont, and many others in litera ture and journalism have entered labori ously into the field of discussion. So great has the public mint been absorbed by it a political party has grown oat of theyeasting waters, though it has accomplished no great things except in oue or two States and a few localities in other Commonwealths. The two great national parties have been much exercised, and the Democratic party has planted itself squarely on the-inform of justice to all elapses but safety to the busi ness interests of the country. It occupies the half-way house on the true middle course between the extremes of autocratic capital and lawless communism. The party has come through ihe general restlessness that has pervaded the whole country with out material loss and with a rational -hope of a clear victory in 1880. Let cs look to the future with the lights of the past and of the present. Patrick Henry said '-we have no light to guide our feet except the lamp of experience." We during the past ten years the statistics we are quoting show that the ground planted in potatoes has been diminished from over one million of acres to eight hundred and forty-feven thousand acre?. Nor i this all. The stock of horses has declined. In 1877, 30.524 horses were imported from 'abroad, and dnrine the . first. eight months Extraordinary BUekJnallinj?. An uncommonly daring blackmailer has come to grief ia Boston. He sent a letter to Mr. N. P.

This exhibit marks not only a seriously decline j in the staple manufactures of England, but also in the home productions of breadstuff ; and provisions. What effect the f u-ts thus officially reported may have iim 11 the im ports of breadstuffs and provisions it is im possible to. say. but certain data in jnses sion of the board of trade, but not given in the report, are said to afford evidence that there is a letter demand for fod products, and the inference is drawn "that consumers of these necessaries are acquiring a better purchasing power.'.' It may lie h, but in the face of the returns from the trade and agricultural districts it would seem to be a contradiction. Dramatic Intelligence. Xer Ytrk-Sun.

Cbanfrau, with his Daj.vcnport with A SOUTHERN 1.1TEKARY MONTHLY. The' South-Atlantic for November is on our table. The uniform excellence of the articles in this number atones for the delay in its appearance. First, we have a thrill ing romance, " Carmelitu," written by W. II. Babcock. Esci.. a prominent lawyer of Washington City. The play, "Eugene Aram," is lrom the pen of a scholarly gen tleman of'New Orleans. , The author, Mr. E. W, II. Wrilliams, exhibits considerable poetic fire and decided dramatic power in the instalment before usj Mrs... Jarvis' serial, "A Baptism of Fire," is con f eluded. The interest of the story has been admirably sustained from the begin ning. There are some marks of haste in the style, but the novel, as a whole, shows that the wife of our Lieut. Governor is capable of doing first-rate literary work. "An Autumn Fancy" is the work of , the young son of Paul II. Hayne. The reader will see,- at once, that the youthful poet inherits the subtle imagination of his dis tinguished father, Allan B. Magruder, Esq., the brother of Gen. Magruder, and , a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly, of Boston j handled" the subject. "After r'the Wrar" in a masterly manner, though I we think liis praise of the Fraudu, lent President almost wholly misapplied. Leopold Wagner, one of the South-Atlan tic's European contributors, gives some entertaining information in regard to a subject about which Americans generally are ignorant "Heraldry and the Herald's College." Alleyne Barry's short story is sensational, thoroughly readable, but gives evidence of crudeness. The remainder "of the table of contents is furnished by writers whose names arc familiar to the readers of the magazine. . . LABOR AND BUSINESS. ' The Vital question in American politics n Ate i hft pconomical. Labor, trade and finance occupy the public mind, in place o; the negro, State rights and the Bible in the public schools. The country is getting down to hard pan from its limit of extreme inflation. We know that the gold bugs no more than the fiat money men will contro bur financial polity. We know again that the volume of business is increasing, and that, while there is still great depression in certain lines of trade and industry, there is likewise a counter stimulation in others. The yellow fever has about worn itself out, although its evil work in the 'stricken ci ties and sections, will be felt for a long time. Even there recuperation will fol low. .I-.'--'' .

Alfred A er ; Mehr was for eleven vears a trusted f'hrk ; in the emplov of Parrott & Co., importers of coffee and'tea. It was his duty to enter the daily-.-sales. -and -'to collect money on such sales from mercantile houses. V er Mehr converted to his own. use collections amounting iu all to 44,861, aad gambled awav about $44,000 in a gambling house kept bv William K. Briggs, Patrick Con nor and Edward Morris, between the 1st of Mav, 1876 and the 30th of September in the'same year,. On the discovery of the ; defalcation Ver Mehr fled to Mexico, but ; was brought back, trieJ, convicted and j sent to State prison. Now Parrott & Co. are suing Briggs and his partners for the ; recovery of 35.000 of ihe money risked and lost by Ver Mehr ii the gamblng house. The action turns on the proposi tion that when a clerk loses the money of his employer iu gambling, the winner has given no" lawful consideration for the money, and the rightful owners, on prov ing the facts, may recover.

In consequence of the long deten tion at Hamlet by the break in the rail road connection there, this line will be a good deal travelled.

Repeaters. 1 "Body Snatching" is being denounced in ! the West as about the most despicable trade a man can resort to, but the West ern body snatcher is rivaled by the "per- sonator at election times. .1 his character, who robs a dead man of his name aud votes it at the polls, is about on a par with the wretches who despoil graves and live by preying on the dead. Indeed these last may be said to be the more decent lellows of the two, for they have the sense t& be ashamed of their work, and skulk away from sight in their midnight operations. 13ut the per sonator robs the grave in daylight when he brings a dead man's vote to the polls. The Condition oDXabor. Baltimore Sun. The productiveness of the country is greatly increased 'over the year of. panic, 1873, and we believe also the demand and opportunity for labor. The volume of freight on the railroads and the amount of railroad earnings show a slow but' steady increase, notwithstanding a fall . in . the hrate of charges. The gross earnings of 22 roads for the nrst nine months of this year amount to $68,649,000, against $64,243,000 for the same time last year. There are 15 roads which have reported earnings con tinuously for four years, whose totals for nine months have risen from $40, 691,000 in 1873 to $45,384,000 in 1878. These figures are not conclusive, because not complete, but they indicate a constant expansion in the great and important busi ness of moving freight. t If there is an in crease in the transportation of freight, there must be an iucrease in the production and manufacture of freight to be moved. Another proof , of the same fact is the enormous increase in the amount of Amer ican products exported- There is an in crease this year over "fast of a trifle less than $50,000,000 in the value of the wheat sent abroad, of $10,000,000 in other bread stuffs, of over $8,000,000 in cotton, of about $10,000,000 in other provisions, of $2,800,000 in . American 'iron and steel manufactures, besides $1,031,000 in cart ridges. Although a value of $680,000,000 gold value, t exported in 1878, as against $589,000,000 in 1877, the highest ever known. That doesn't look as if American labor was pining for something to do and desperate to "smash things." Craven Kdaceombe Greene Halifax...... Jones Ijcnoir Northampton.

Llngllsu Commercial and Agricultural Statistics. The September returns of the British Boyd of Trade present striking evidences of the depressed condition of the principal branches of industry in the United King dom. The report states that business in the woollen districts is characterized by great apathy, that the Irish linen trade is dull; that stagnation prevails in the ex port of cotton goods; that there is a de cline in jute piece goods and linen,! yarn and piece goods of from 10 to 12 per cent, both in quantity and value ; that in hard ware and cutlery and iron and steel the trade seems to get worse and worse, with no signs of a recovery, and that the glass trade is so greatly depressed that notice has been given of a reduction in wages. The Blue Book of agricultural returns for 1878, collected up to the 4th of June last, presents scarcely a less gloomy view of the prospects of the British farmer. When the increasing importatkms of foreign wheat and breadstufTs warned him ot the scantier profits he must expect from the cultivation of that grain . he began to turn his attention to dairy products and the raising of cattle for market The conse quence has been that since 1869 the arable land has been diminished by one million fler throutrh conversion into pasture.

These elections clearly indicate three things which are. of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country are dissatisfied with the Republican party and are unwilling for" 'the Kepublicau leaders to afflict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac t ces. Second, that the Nationals do not meet -with popular favor, and, as a separate organi zation, have utterly failed to impress them selves upon the country ; and lastly, that the star of the Democratic party is still in the ascendant, and the people are looking to that party as the only one capable of restoring prosperity to the country, and able to admin- ; ister the government on those Constitutional and j-ust principles, which are essential" alike to the happiness of our citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions'. Thus in the elections held in eight States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected four; and 'the Demo- : crats have elected twenty-three, and . have gained seven. These facts demonstrate that the people in ! tend to invest the Democratic party with the i full control of the National Government. The ; Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic L by a considerable majority, and it. is only ; necessary for the Democrats of the South to i remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or- gaaization, and our triumph will be complete. It is for us to determine whether the banner j on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home i Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the f,: ! dust, or shill be borne on to victory. UitJ I Every consideration of interest, ol policy anu 01 patriotism xnen urges us to prepare imuiesiately for the approaching political struggle. Be assured, feTiow-eitizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible to achieve success. Let us 1 ot by our apathy, our luke warm-nei-s and indifference postpone the accession to power of that party which ahme has been able to cheek Republican corruption and to arrest the progress of oer government towards a centralized despotism. . Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin ciple, true to our organization and endeavor by every means to discountenance those inde pendents and disorganizers who oppose Our wor'hy standard-bearers freely and fairly ehosen 03- t he Democratic party In Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat Avhat w e have so often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the town sh'p committees-who are charged' with the most important of all iarty duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to bring out ever' Democratic voter to the - polls. They ought to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for tunes of that party, on whose success depends so largely the prosierity of themselves and of their posterity. In every township, in every neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, efficient, and prudent party, men, who will undertake to see that every Democrat in the . precinct comes to the polls and easts his ballot for our nomlneee. We therefore urge this upon the township committees; and if in any township it is ne glected, we appeal to our Democratic, friends there to send their conveyances for all their neighbors who otherwise might not attend the polls. Let it Le clearly understood in every locali ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee, J gives nait a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts - his vote for an independent is taking the surest means to break up and destroy the only party which can give relief to our afflicted country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished except at the cost of some inconvenience, and otten through the sacrifice of our persona preferences ; and we appeal to every man who has the good of the people at heart to give a portion of one day to his eountry, and subordinating his individual preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party. For the Committee : S A. Ashe, Ch'u. (WlI.MIXGTOX STAK.) There is steady improvement. (New Youk Woklb.) ".Pe&orveR the support of all Southern readers. (New Youk Srx.)

It is ably edited, handsomely printed, and gives promise of being a very, very Interesting publication. ' (Elizabeth City Economist.) Altogether creditable. -Its contributors are first-class and its mechanical and t ypographical execution excellent. (Hillsboro Recordek.) Its list of contributors is an an able one and if sustained, will ensure the; permanent success of the enterprise. , (Wilmington Post.) It is a first-class lite ray magazine, and one that the people of this city should be proud of and patronize, as well as the people of the whole state. . ' (Kai.eigh Observer.)

(Norfolk Virginian.) This publication appeals to the people of the South for a staple support. It richly merit it and we feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must w in for It a position In the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (PKTEKffBLItG INDEX & APPEAL.) The South-Atlantic has this merit oyer any of its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are solid, though not heavy, and that no room appears to have been intended in it.for productions of a trashy and frivolous character. 'While It continues to adhere to this rule, it will have every claim on Southern and general support, and we sincerely trust it will receive it. (Danville News.)
