LOOHliVO BACH.
HTte heat of the canvass is over, the
flection ha3 passed, and the result is Tvell
.nigh ascertained. It seems to be pretty
..Troll established that the House will be in
, t'le hand? of Independents and Radicals
it is quite certain it is cut of the hands of
the Democrats. The people of the great
. State of North Carolina have said that
thej do not wish to trust the regular deui-
, ocratic nominees this year. It may be
, well for democrats to investigate this mat
ter and endeavor if they can to ascertain
: the cause of this refusal of support by the
people of this State. This paper, as
its course clearly indicated daring the
campaign vras thoroughly democratic, be
cause it believed the interests of the
whole people would be most effectually
advanced by the su cress of the nomiuees
of that great party. Now the campaign is
over, and we propose to deal with solid
facts, we propose to speak our convictions
lot it hurt whom it may, we intend to do
this first for the good of the people, and
secondly for the good of the party. There
is surely some meaning in this reverse of
fortune, when we heard the returns from
our own county, we were down-hearted,
we may say We were crashed, because we
frit we had been derelict of duty, and we
were afraid that some of the blai of the
defeat in this county lay at our door, but
the defeat is not confined to county or dis
triit, but it extends all over the State.
This led us to believe that it was not
owing to mismanagement during this
campaign, but to a deeper cause and one
which is much more difficult to remedy.
It will be remembered the last legisla
ture was largely democrat!-. Io the Sen
ate there were forty three democrat? and j -
nly seven repuineaus ; in tne nouse
there wene ninety seven democrats and
only twenty-three republicans. Flattered
by these majorities and by the confidence
which people reposed in their party, the
members of the last legislature set them
selves to the task of making Jaws f r the
people. They seemed to feel from the
sumner io which they made laws, from the
laws that they . made, that neither the
powers in the heavens or on the earth or
in the waters under the c: rth could cast
them out of power. They dealt out money
as if the treasury ot the uuiverse Were at
Raleigh and under their control ; that leg- !
i 5l.1t ure was generous in the extreme,
probably but one other more liberal legis
lature ever assembled in North Carolina,
They seemed, too, to feel that they were
eudowed with the most profound wisdom
thej seemed to think that- the toiling
thousands who sent them there were abso
lute idiots in regard to what Was best f .-r
them in certain local matters. In short a
long lease f power had led them to the
point wlvre they ceased to consider them
selves the servants of the j ,1 -i pent t
Kuleurh to carry out the wishes of the f
j-eople. They gave away convicts to
their favorites, when other rich corpora
tions were Pegging to hire them, they not
only gave the convicts, but the guards
also. They made numbers of minor ex
travagant donation.-, which ii the end
The Richmond Dispatch correspondent
from Raleigh says of the recent- election in
this State.
Fcr three days thinking democrats hate
bad iJl the horrors of 1863 '70 before
them, as they thought of Republican rule.
Many gave up the Legislature, the courts,
Sze., and the blackness of despair seized
them. Negro rule, the abolition of county
government, the squandering ol public
money all thesp things rose up before all
peop e who have not lost the power of re
membrance. So many Democrats appear
to have lost that remembrance, and to their
anger or their apathy is due some, at least
of Tuesday? drcadtul Work.
But the earapaiga of 1SSS that is the
next question, and it is a burning one. It
will be equal tb that of 187t and conducted
on the same basis. The color line was uo
drawn this time. Zeb. Vance will come to
the front again, and, if popular wishes
count for anything, Thomas J. Jarvis will
be a central figure. Tht man of men, on
whom many eyes are now turned, will be
here next month, and it will astonish your
correspondent if he is not, after all that
bxs been said, put in Ransom's place as
senator. People talk of this daily. There
is opposition to Ransom. It deepens day
by day. Candid people speak of it freely.
There will be a new policyjthe last Legisla
ture made not a few enemies. These thuiga
have cot been generally talked of. It is
best to talk of them, to reason together, to
set matters arisrht, for The Democratic
party has set its face towards the goal o'
great victory two years hence. The "old
guard" of the party pledged themselves to
do that in twenty-four hours after last
Tuesday's sunset. This dose will do good
after all, bitter as it is.
lion. His duty shall be to visit each school
in his section at least once a week, to make
suggestions to the teachers, and to aid in
controlling the "bad boys" of the schoels.
If this plan Would be carried out proper
ly, there would be no excuse for committee
men's not eniployioy lady teachers. These
superintendents could control all bad boys
This would open a field fer lady teachers.
The people would soon learn that the lady
teachers could do better work than the men
and generally cb eaper, and in a few years
our public sehoots would be taught almost
entirely by lady teachers.
I know of nothing that would arouse
greater inter st in the education of the whole
people than would the putting into effect

The President and bis Presents
Among the wedding presents tendered
President. Cleveland last Jan was a grand
piano, the gtftgf Mr. William S'.enway, of
New York. It has beensuhject to his or
der; and yesterday was sent over to "Red
Top" and placed in the parW. Speaking
of the piano, the President has been told
that during President Grant's terra nearly
every room in the White House was furn
ished with a piano until the number got so
large that the servant's room in the base
ment had to be used to store them in.
Nearly ever maker of piaruis in the coun-
ry thought it a duty to present the Gen
eral with one. Their appearance at the en
trance of the White House was the firt
known of their coining. President Cleve
land in accepting bridal gifts has taken care
that none of "them enter into the furnish
ing of the White House. Nearly every
artieleof the many receive! will be utili
zed in the country house at "Bv.'d Tiy."
The only covenieuce the hou.e will not
have is gas, the nearest gas, main being
over half a mile away. The cost of run
ning one out to "Red Top ' would be too
givat for the betieSt conferred, so that the
elegant citndelabran presented to Mrs. Cleve
land will furnish part of the parlor and
dining rojni decoration. A"ec ',.rk Herald.
In the North Carolina Senate there will
be ten democntttc majority.
