CICEEO W. HASRIS, ..... Editor. Sunday Morning. December 15, 1878. THE MKKOW UAUCJE ROAD. A communication was printed in The Hun, a few days ago, the writer of which advocated the plan of a narrow gangs road from Mt. Airy this way, to stop in Wilmington if the people here desire that it shonld. 1 he Hex regards this as au important feature in the general discussion over internal improvements now going on in the State press. To further so promi nent a scheme, we reprint portions of a private letter received from a gentleman of great public spirit who is especially in terested in making a NorthCaroIina railroad system'. I have, he says, "recently re "turned from the western part of this "State, and I rejoice to be able to say to "you that the, people along the entire line "of the proposed N. U. R. It. from the "Cjlulf to its Western terminus, are decided "to have it ultimately terminate at your "city. ButI deeply regret to ay that our "t ayettevilie friends-do not desire it to "go to your place. They appear to desire "to send it to Florence, S. C, and to "Franklinville, Randolph county, N. C. "Now to' take the road to these two points "will consume all our available means. "The road fr.un Matthews to this place on "a direct line. is but 33 miles ; by Frank "linville to th's phc i 45 miles, '-and by the "estimates after a month's survey will cost r il AAA j 1 .1 1 . . "5ii,uuu more inan tne siraignt route. JOHN I. DIVEXPOitT. ' Mr. Fernando Wood has not recently rendered, the country a more important service than lie has just done by his intro duction of a resolution providing for an investigation of the operations' of this de lectable individual We are glad to know, too, that the investigation will not be conducted by a committee, with its hands already Full a committee, a ma jority of whom will be Republicans but that a special committee, with plenary powers, will be created. Leading New York papers of indepen dent or neuiral politics have assured the public again and again that hundreds of naturalized voters were deterred from vot ing by Davenport's threat. While the "tissue ballot " business is undergoing in quiry, surely such flagrant bull-dozing as this ought'to be looked into. -We hope the naturalization intimidation in New York and the intimidation spoken of by Mr. Thurman as taking plaee in the New Eng land mills will undergo the strictest scru tiny. In this' country let what is sauce for the goose" be sauce for the gander. THE TEMPER OF TRY. THE COUJT- Seldom have the American people been as calm as they are right now. Mr.' Chand ler may sulk, Mr. Hayes may turn somer saults and Mr. Blaine may utter diatribes, but the country is unmoved and immova ble. The wheels of commerce revolve as before, without clog or hindrance ; the pulse-beat ef society is not quickened into feverishness, and the whole people calmly pursue their respective callings," smiling in quiet contempt if they take any notice at all of the demagogues who seek the re embroilment of the sections in deadly par tisan strife. This fine conservatism f the people must save the country,! if it shall be saved, when storms arise and dangers thickea on all sides. The Americans are a manly na tion. If partisanship, at times, runs high, and injustice be done, the sober second thought comes to restore harmony and do justice. Taking a broad view of recent events, one cannot find in the people, as a body, - a tyrannous disposition, or the traces of a tigerish tempera ment. On the other hand, he ;will see the element of kindliest nature, of sincere patriotism. All men have good in them. Sometimes it takes wars, famines, financial panics, pestilences to bring it out. The sufferings of the Southern peo ple in the throes of reconstruction and in the recent dreadful scourge on the Mississippi have re-kindled in Northern breasts the fires of magnanimity, and to-day, in truth; there is a better feeling between the two sections than there has been since the ad ministration of John Quincy Adams. An instance of this goodly spirit of fra ternity is furnished in our columns this morning. A gallant Federal officer per ishes while in the performance of a self imposed duty. Having ministered per sonally to the fever stricken in a Southern city, he falls a victim to the pestilence. A noble Southern gentleman, an ex-member of Mr. Davis' cabinet, proposes to deliver a lecture on a subject of prominent local interest and devote the pro- ceeds to the honorable and pious par-1 pose of relievinjr the wants of the soldier's family. This is only one of a number of instances of a renewed fraternal feeling, and of a newer and broader pat riotism in this land a patriotism whose go vera ing principle is love of right and trutn as embodied in good deeds to onr neighbors in distress, in sympathy with those who sorrow, in patience and forbear ance as toward those with whom there exist differences of sentiment or position. Our country, whatever ma lignant partisans, may say. is not one vast arena covered by two camps of oppos ing forces, but a people now happily fus ing into one, sinking animosities day by day and year by year learning fresh lessons of charity and brotherly love. God send the day when all hatred shall die and all sectional feeling be banished forever. Par ties there must be and partisanship, bat parties ought not to be. geographical apd should not seek to thrive by perpetuating animosities. I'ERMO.VAL PARAGRAPHS; Mr. John Rusk in has resigned the Slade Professorship at Oxford. Senator David Davis believes that he is out of the Presidential race. The King of Burmah has married his half sister. In Burmah this is the correct thing. Mrs. (Jeneral Sherman continues to le side in "Baltimore, while her husband and daughters reside in Washington. Mme. Nilsson will be installed as ruml Mistress of the ancient charitable Masonic Order of "The. Eastern Star," which' is composed oftladies of rank and distinction whose husbands belong to the fraternity. Mr. William Leightou, the author of the dramatic poems "The Sons of Godwin" and "At the Court of King Edwin," has left the field of history and chosen for the subject of his third volume ' Change, the Whisper of the Sphinx." .. Speaking of ..Thomas 1 lardy, the cele brated English novelist, "One sees what he means, and is all the more disappointed at theclumsy way in which the meaning is expressed," says the AthenvHui. We long ago called his style "hard ;'' but isn't his modest way of making "one ee what he means " one of Hardy's real merits ? THE ELECTORAL HILL. Am ii Passed the Kenatc.

Bro. Yates Puts iu a Strong Word Against Duelling. Charlotte Democrat . We learn that the persons from South Caroliua, who came over into North Caro lina to fight a duel recently -will be in dicted by a Mecklenburg Court. That is right, and Gov. Vance should demand the' rendition, of the persons implicated. Let our courts put its seal of emphatic con demnation on . the foolish duelling code. Mecklenburg authorities are expected to do their duty in regard to the affair men tioned, and maintain the dignity of our laws and respect due the state. If two or three negroes or white men get int a little tusseiling scrimmage, or "first and skull'' fight, the whole force of the State .(in law) is brought , against them, and the same should be doue against the young gentle men from South Carolina .who came into this county and violated our laws.

The State Executive Committee congratu lates the Democratic-Conservative party ol North Carolina upon the result of the recent Congressional elections at the North. These elections clearly indicate three things which are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country aie dissatisfied with.the Republican party and are unwilling for the Republican leaders to atflict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac- j t ces. Secoud, that the Nationals do notiueet j with popular favor, au'l. as a separate orjani zatiou, have utterly failed to imprest- them- ! selves upon the country ; and lastly, that the 1 star of the Democratic party is still in the j ascendant, and the jeople are looking to thn; i party as the only one capable oi restoring prosperity to the count ry, and able to admin- ' isier the government ou those Constitutional j aud just principles, which are essential alike j to the. happiness of our citizens and to the j perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the I ts-Jelectious held in eight, States the Republicans 7Iiave lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected lour; and the Demo- ! erats have elected .twenty-three, and have gained seven. i 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 is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, ehali trail, in the dust, or shall be borne ou to victory. Every consideration of interest, oi policy and of patriotism then urges us to prepare imuiesiately for the approaching political struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible, to achieve success. Let us ot by our apathy, our luke warin ne?6 and indifference ostouc the accession to power ol 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 discounteuance those inde pendents and disorganizers who Appose our worMry standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we 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 party duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to bring 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 itisne 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 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 olten 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.
