I he b ln does not open a Free Parlia ment! in its columns, but it admils articles by responsible persons who have something to say on important questions of public in terest. The appearance of 'a communica tion in The Sun, even when accompanied by general editorial reference to it, is no endorsement of the positions of the contri butor. The Sun is a fair paper, and gives a hearing as far as is possible to all who have anything to say. JJnt it will not be the vehicle of any man's personal grudges. MltI orilO.V. A. yi. M ADDELL In Jus card to the voters of the Third Congressional District, printed in The Sun to-day. Col. Waddell takes such ground with relerence to contesting the recent election as he might be expected to take. Notwithstanding the fact that there were great irregularities in several counties on account, oi wnicn, u me enort were made, itid possible the election of Judge Kussell wobld be declared invalid, Col. Waddell plants himself on the true plane of the statesman, declining to occupy a seat ob tained by taking advantage . of legal technicalities. For this, in a day of great political demoralization, he deserves com meudation. even if it should be thought that he pursii. d the only proper course and did simply what it was his duty to do. TIIE CAUCUS. Lntil parties agree upon some other plan for choosing their line of policy in any respect that pleases them, the caucus will remain in full force and effect. It will be binding upon all who arp sound and true, for the reason that it is the voice of the party. In North Carolina these propositions are indisputable, conspicuous' exceptions to the contrary notwithstanding. If we are to have liarmony, if we are' to have organiza tion at all. these propositions must meet with general acceptance. Taking this to lie as true as the other. The Sun will not discuss tliefe propositions, but proceed, in stead, to apply them to the nearest event i in our political history on which they have a direct bearing. The legislature of North Carolina may have more practical and home-like duties to perform, but it has no duty at once so high and so - generally interesting, as that of choosing it United States Senator to succeed Senator Merrimon on the 4th of next March. This duty ought to be per formed in the most judicial and patriotic spirit. Prejudice and rancor have no place in the selection. But while this duty is to be done for the whole people of North Carolina, it is to be done by the Democrat ic party, and the voice of the whole party, and not the voice of a small faction, should be heeded. Applying the propositions stated in the first paragraph of this article : ."The caucus is in full force and effect" The caucus is binding on all. Democrats, because it is the official voice of the party," let us agree that all the Democratic members of the Legislature shall meet as heretofore in such elections has been provided by party usage and for. party discipline ; let us have it understood that all "claims" by Democrats for the Senatorship are to be submitted to this caucus ; and again, let it be distinctly un derstood and the fact not made contingent on any man's mere assertion that injustice has been done tohim, or the asseverations of his friends that he has not been fairly dealt with that no Democrat who goes into that caucus is to "bolt" on any ground whatever. m Discussion of this man's or that man's claims on the party is not germane to our position. The Sex for the present simply asserts the right of the Democratic party to a regular organization like that of other parties ; it claims only that Democrats to be considered Democrats must submit to the caucus f the Democratic party. That caucus will probably select the choice of the party n1 the State regardless of clam or or threats from any quarter. It ought to select for this exalted position the highest in its gift the ablest and the .soundest man in the party, the man who, of those available, has done the'most con spicuous and faithful service. Now some will say that this man.is Vance; others, Merrimon, and so on. The caucus must act with the best lights before it. Who ever is-chosen must have the support of the party in the election before the Legis lature And in the future the friends of the defeated candidate or candidates should give the Senator elected their undivided sympathy and, cordial support. Nothing Jess than this will make the Democratic party in NoHh Carolina a united, harmo nious and powerful organization TO TIIE VOTER.H OF TOE 1 THIRD COXGRESSIOXAI, DISTRICT. The suggestion ha been frequently, al most daily, made to me I siqce tie election that I can successfully contest Judge Ru sell's right to a seat in Congress, and it h insisted that duty to the Democratic party, who are in the majority in the District, de mands that a contest should be made. Va rious objections to the votes of certain counties; townships and city wards have been made, and it is confidently asserted that those votes could be and ought to be thrown out. I, therefore, deem it proper and respectful to my constituents to ex-j press mysen, promptly, on this subject. If there should be satisfactory evidence of fraud, violence or intimidation whereby the result of the election was unfairly and falsely secured, it would be a very plain duty to my constituents and myself to con test it. No such, allegation, however, has yet been made, and, in my opinion, cannot be truthfully made against any portion- of the people of this District. I believe the election was free from corruption, as every previous one in the District has been ; and, o lelieving (not withstanding .any mere technical de fects) honor, fair dealing and respect for what must be taken to be the will of the people, forbid any attempt on jnyv part to defeat that will, iy a resort to legal quib bles, and a reliance upon the fact that a majority oi ino-c who wonltl decide the contest are my ' political associates. We see it constantly predicted that the Demo- j crats, having learned a lesson from the j Republicans, will "feed them out of the . same spoon." Cod forbid! For eight j years I have been denouncing the crimes,, committed by the Republican party in con- j nection with that birthright of the people, the elective franchise, and -it would be a i pitiable conclusion to sucludenunciation if it should result in an imitation of such of fences. Judge Russell received a mnjor'ty of the votes polledalthough only a little more than half of the voter of the District wept to the polling places. If I should contest his right to a seat in Congrek?, and be successful, I would be doing .just what I have condemned Mr. Hayes for doing, viz : holding an office to which I was not elected, and drawing a salary which rightfully belongs to another man. For any result that may follow a change in the representation of this District I. will not be responsible. 'If the people so will, they can have , good or bad government. Their will is ascertained at the ballot-box, and only there. They can abdicate their rights by refusing or neglecting to vote, and if they do so, who shall complain ? In such a case, if evil ensue (and it is not too late), they can remedy it at the next elec- tion Jjnt the proper time for a contest is while the polls are open, not after they are closed and the result declared. Holding these views, I shall not contest Judge Rus sell's right to a seat in the forty-sixth Congress. Very Respectfully, A. M. 'Waddkix. New Men iu the Next C'ongre. Of the 148 democrats elected to' the Forty-sixth Congress 53 arc new men. Of the 133 republicans elected 54 .are. new men. This excludes men who have served in previous Congresses, such . as Ceneral Hawley, of Connecticut. 'I he eight green-, backers are all new men, and the Forty sixth Congress will have, therefore. 115 new members out of a total of 293. Twenty-one of the 53 new democrats arc from Northern States. If follows that the greater part of the Forty-sixth Congress will be composed of experiencetf members. Some Stotes like Mississippi and West Virginia have re elected the whole of their present delegations; others, like Mas sachusetts, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana, have . change but one or two.

The experiment of lighting the Assembly chamber in the new capitol, at Albany, by means of electricity was tried on Wednes day evening. The Albany Art) us says of the result: "The exhibition was a very satisfactory one. It was by no means a concentrated light, and the objection that such, a light would br too intense was entirely dispelled by witnessing it. There was no trouble some glare nor the dark shadows that many expected. To us it appeared lis a soft, clear light, cquSlly diffused, when the four burners were going, and under which the smallest print could be read easily or freely. The four score or hundred people ho were present at the exhibition, which of course was experimental, were pronounced m tneir oninion retrardine it. and in a felicitous manner. Startling Revelations. The recent abduction of the body of A. T. Stewart from the final resting place has brought t) light some startling revelations in regard to grave robbers. The latest and most blood-curdling of these comes from Cleveland, Ohio. An organized band of grave robbers is said to exist in that vicin ity, who act by signs and countersigns with physicians of the highest respectability, and test the fitness of a body as a subject for the dissecting board by pulling the ear, and if this member comes off in the effort the body is known to be too far decomposed to be of use to the searchers after medical science. Several graves have been exam ined, and an ear found to be pulled from the head of many occupants. An investi gation into this mutilation of human bodies has been commenced by the authorities of Cleveland. Business Wants Peace. Business" wants peace; it must haye peace. There' i3 no issue between , the North and the South and there can be none, unless a powerful party, backed by the countless resources of the government, resolve to have strife for the sake of strife. Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, has become a member of a large manufactur ing firm in Philadelphia, and, as soon as he leaves his official position, will take charge of the business as principal mana ger. The Oil City Derrick gently suggests to Mr. Bergh that he is perhaps carrying the war into too remote an-Afnca when he has a baggageman arrested for cruelty to a hair trunk.

V. 3 y. c B TO THE DEMOCRATIC.COXSEltVA TIVE rARTY OF NO R TH CA R O LINA. The State Executive Committee congratu lates the Democratic-Conservative party of North Carolina upon the result of the recent Congressional elections at the North. These elections clearly indicate three things w hich are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country aie dissatisfied with -the Republican party and are unwilling for the RepublicHn leaders to afflict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac tices. Second, that the Nationals do not meet with popular favor, and, as a separate organi zatiou, 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 just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of our citizens and tol 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 full control of the National Government. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic by a considerable majority, and it is only necessary for the Democrats of the South , to remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete. It i6 for us to determine whether the banner ou which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the dust, or shill be borne on to victory, . Every consideration of interest, or policy and of patriotism then urges us to prepare imuie6iately for the approaching political struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible to achieve success. Let us rot by our apathy, our luke warm ness and indifference postpone the accessiou to power ot that party which alone has been able to check 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 disorganizes who oppose our worthy standard-bearer? freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what: we have 60 often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the town sh'p committees who are charged with the most important of all party duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to brinj? out every 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 prosperity 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 casts 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 be clearly understood in every locali ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee, gives half a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts his vote for an independent is tailing the surest means to 'j break up and destroy the only party which can give jelief to our afflicted country. We ' warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can i not be accomplished except at the cost of some inconvenience, and often through the sacrifice of our personal 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 country, and subordinating his individual preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party.

It is printed in large, clear tvpe credit to the State. and is (GUEENSIiOKO Patkiot.) i It is ably edited, handsomely printed, and; - gives promise of being a very, very interesting j publication. (Elizabeth .City Economist.) Altogether creditable. Its contributors are first-class ami its mechanical ami typographical execution excellent. ( II II.LSlloUO J.'i: OUOKH.) Its list of contributors is. an an able one and if sustained, will ensure 1 1n permanent success of the enterprise. . - (Wilmington Post.) It is a first-class literay mairazine, and one that the people of this city should be proud of and patronize, as well as the. people of the ; whole state. ! (ItAi.F.IGil Or.SEUVI 11.) It is needless to say we wish it success, and that we look forward with1 pride, as wi ll a-s pleasure, to the r -suit of the rntwrpisc as one that will reflect honor upon the State. (OXFOJtl) ToKCIILlGIlT.) The typographical execution of the magazine is very fine, and in point of .appearance, con tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi cation which must commend itself to the public. -' j (liHAIIAM Cl.LANKlC.) . j It jfives.promi.se of be!n emineiitly worthy j of public patronasj-e. No cummendatioir of i ours would rtpial a simple statement of tire j table of its contents, with the name of the contributors, which we irive as an evidence of j of the worth of the periodical. (Fakmek and Mechanic.) Here we have a rich bill of fare from South ern writers", catered by a Southern lady and printed by Southern printers, on Southern paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern literature, and home-fostered talent, shall this enterprise live, and expand ? (Wilson Advance.) The magazine is well gotten up. The sub ject matter is varied, and entertaining, while its typographical apear.fnee is a model ot neatness, ami reflects the highest credit upon the exquisite taste and excellent judgment that suggested ami directed its consummation. (NOKKOLK VlIJOIXIAX.) Thus publication apjK-als to the people of the South for a staple support. It riehly iru rits 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 rauft win for it a position in the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (.Petetlsbuko Index & Aiteal.) The Soctii-Atlaxtic has thw merit over any of its predecessors in the same arena, that it contents are solid, though not heavy, and : that no room appears to have been intended in j it for productions of a trashy and friroloun I character. While it continues to adhere to j this rule, it will have every claim on Southern j and general support, and' we sincerely trut i it will receive it. ; (Danville News.) . This is a most excellent publication a mag i azine of hhjh character, au honor to the Mate, I and a credit to the whole South. All it pages ! are filled with articles of superior excdlence ; and interest. It has for its contributor some i of the best known authors imthe South, U i ablv edited and neatly printed. This splendid monthly deserves a nwrai iwiu-iaa ... cy clase southern enterprise. (Raleioh News.) Peculiarly Southern in its character, and numbering among its contributors some of the best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon Its face the stamp of originality and force. The Interest of its serial stories has never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles hare been marked by a vigor, peculiarly their own.. All topics are discussed, and thus the world's progress is closely followed. The magazine has from its inception been received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor have ita merits failed to receive iust encomiums from persons of ability everywhere. tf The ITews and Courier .
