Bunny, though a young ad, is old in sin, and will, in all probability, do the State some service as a quarryman, on the old " love rock." Surveyors of Distilleries. Deputy Commissioner Douglas has appointed abr.ut one thousand Surveyors of Distilleries, for the various Revenue Districts; the larger nunilier of whom are for the Southern -states. Their duties are to survey the hisky and other distilleries and dralt a Plan of them all, and forward the plans to 'He department. These surveyors work in conjunction with the assessors of the dis Wets tin which they arc Appointed. 1 We learn from a gentleman who has recently traveled in the adjoining counties, that the people are preparing to visit the fair in Raleigh this Fall The city of Raleigh has taxed her citizens to purchase handsome grounds and aid in erecting buildings, and now we hopo our country friends will come forward and aid in the good work by such contributions as they arc able to make." . We have just received from Sirs. A. J. Moore, of this county, a cabbage weighing 9$ pounds, and measuring 45 inches in cir cumference. It is decidedly the finest spe cimen we have ever seen in the Old North State. We venture to assert no one in the county can equal it. Try it, will you ? some of you citizens. There has been one on exhibition at the Sentinel office for sometime that lays way over it it is of the drumhead species. We believe it is now on exhibition in Alamance county, drumming up subscribers for the second edition of Pomeroy's Democrat. Keeping up Accounts. Collectors of in ternal revenue have been notified by special circular from the acting commissioner that all taxes assigned to them prior to January 1, 1870, either upon lists transferred to them by other collectors or upon their own, must be accounted for within ninety days after the receipt of the circular; and that all the taxes assigned to them for collection since the 1st of January, 1870, and prior to the receipt of the circular, must be accounted for withiu six months from the date of re ceiving the circular. The deputy commissioner of internal rev enue having charge of the division of ac counts has instituted a new system of ac countability, and hereafter collectors will be required to forward their monthly reports within ten days after'the expiration of the MtJar..whid)l.Afte i8made. v-rr The Hot Season Its Effect upon In dividual Health The present hot season has been one of unprecedented length, for this latitude. For two or three days to gether we have often felt it a warm but cannot now recollect of any period when we had two and three weeks of such intense heat, and at onetime; anil while it has not, to our knowledge, materially affected the health of our city, or even the country im mediately adjacent, we are pained to learn that other localities are suffering sickness and death. From a private letter just to hand from the town of Wilson, we are informed that that people have been, and continne to be, greatly afflicted. Many deaths have taken place among the children, and several adults have fallen victims. Among the adults, Dr. Winslead, a few days since, died suddenly from the effects of a congestive chilL. The day before he was, apparently, in the full vigor of health. That community has our sympathy, and we trust, as the days grow shorter, and the nights become cooler, the health of .the town may improve, and the faces that now look sad, may become bright and cheerful under the return of health. : While on this subject, we may be par doned for the suggestion, that our city fathers may not relax their vigilance in look ing after the cleanliness of our own city. Schools in Raleigh. Dr. Sears, in his lost report to the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, compliments the city of Petersburg by saying that she has " the best system of pnblic schools in the South." Observing that the peonle of that enterprising old Burg appreciated education, and were will ing to make sacrifices to receive its ben efits, he encouraged them not only by sup plementing the salaries of the teachers from the Peabody Fund but by apportionment of handsome sums for the erection of suitable buildings for free school purposes. During the post year eight schools have been in operation, four for white children and four for colored, ud as nraoy an seven teen hundred and fifty children have been in attendance on these schools. To his I honor, be it said, Maj. Giles B.Cook, a member of Gen. Lee's staff, is at the head of one of the colored schools, and nearly all the teachers, if not quite all, are most re spectable white ladies and gentlemen. 0. these schools one is a high school, where a grade of scholarship may be secured fully equal to that given in our best academies.. What a contrast in true wisdom and en terprise does Raleigh afford ? We have four or five fair schools for colored people, but they arc sustained principally by resources drawn from abroad. The Episcopal, Ro man Catholic and Baptist churches had parish schools last year, but it is a lamen table fact that here, at the seat of govern ment, the city authorities and county com missioners have made no provision at all lor the education of the children of the poor of cither color. The writer has conversed with Mr. Ashley on this subject, and is assured that be is not to blame for this state of things. The proper authorities have been appealc d to time and again, but thus far nothing has been done to remedy the evil. Wc learn that other counties have public schools. Why is it that Wake is denied like privileges ? MALE SCHOOI.S. We have two or three schools for boys, but in the opinion of many, Raleigh affords most inviting field for brilliant success. should such men as Horner or Bingham or others of equal enterprise, tact and experi ence locate here. female schools. In this particular our lovely little city is well supplied. St. Mary's has been in sue cessful operation for twenty five years, and is held in high favor, not only jn North- Carolina but through all the Gulf States. Doctor and Mrs. Lacy's In stitute is a younger but not less worthy institution , of learning, and has. achieved distinguished success within the last two years, and we see by the circular of 'The Raleigh Female - Beminary". that new caitdida'ce for popular favnriain thefield. ' " Dr. William Royall, a professor in Furman University,' 8. C, and more recently con nected with Wake Forest College, is the President of this new enterprise. The cir cular shows that the faculty of instruction will consist of seven teachers and that while a primary department has been provided, a grade of scholarship may be attained in this school equal to that of any of our col leges! Dr. Royal's name is a guarantee to all who know him that instruction impar ted here will be thorough and extensive. Rev. P. H. Fontain, a graduate o the Uni versity of Virginia, is the Professor of Mathe matics and Natural Science, and the very popular and distinguished F. A. Bohlman, is the Music teacher. Prof. B. once taught in this State and also in Virginia, but for some time past has been engaged in Balti more. Raleigh certainly affords no more beauti ful spot for a Female Seminary than the old Polk or Rayncr house, and we sincerely wish this new enterprise abundant success. For rates, sec advertisement. We hope our Presbyterian friends will soon finish the Peace Inst itutc, and then, that the Methodist will also establish a first class fe male school here. There is room for all, and every one will help the town, not only morally and intellectually, but financially, for female schools are the things to bring money to our town. Remember that the taxes on your tobacco, your turpentine, and your brandy were im posed to pay for suppressing a Democratic rebellion. The WilmingtoS Star says that while a number of soldiers were bathing off the garrison wharf at Smithville, last Wednes day, a shark bit the toes off of one of them and cut his fool severely. This would not have surprised us if it had happened at Wilmington, where so many sharks abound. Movements of Troops. We learn that the Governor has ordered Capt. Gant's com pany of Col. Clarke's regiment, under com mand of Maj. Henry M. Miller, to Cartilage, Moore county, to preserve order in that county which is dangerously infested by the Euklux, who threaten that there shall be no free election there. Capt Hancock with bis company will relieve Capt. Gant's company at Hillsboro'. One company will bo stationed at New ton, Catawba county ; one at Ruffin Depot ; two at Yanceyville and two at Raleigh. Attempted Assasination ! We learn from Capt C. B. G. Cole, of Col. Clarke's regiment, that an attempt was made to assi nate him on Sunday last, about two miles from Williamsborongh, Granville county. He was on horseback, anil was fired at twice, from a ravine on the side of the road. We have seen the marks of the balls in Capt. Cole's hat. His escape was a very narrow one. Capt Cole has been active in raising State troops in Granville county ; hence this at tempt to take bis life. This is but another proof that the Enklux Elan arc assassins and murderers and enemies to their country This is the second attempt on Captain Cole's life. A pistol was drawn on him near Towncsvillc a short time previously in in the presence of several witnesses. ' Grand Lodge L O. O. F.

Its mem bers laid violent hands on the government of our fathers and sacrificed their very sons, in the unholy effort to destroy it Failing; in this, they set their face against very ef fort at reconstruction, and indignantly re jected every offer of the government look ing in that direction. ' They denounced the Constitution of the State, its framcrs and advocates as " infa mous." They have labored hard, persis tently and insidiously to show that the exe cutive was vicious and unscrupulous. He has been abused for every action and non action. The judiciary, both supreme and subordinate has been held up to the people as corrupt and inefficient The very Judges who were elected by the unanimous voico of the people ot all parties and all colors, have been set upon by a rabid pack of dis appointed partizans and pursued with a malignity worthy of the prince of devils. The Legislative branch of the State govern ment was held np day by day as an assem blage of highway robbers, and its members individually and collectively denounced for every offence in the catalogue of crimes. Thus every department of the govern ment has been assailed. The Legislature was denounce as ignorant, unprincipled and corrupt, and therefore unfit to enact laws for the government of our people. The Executive was charged to Je unfit even to execute the bad laws passed by a bad Le gislature. The Judiciary was charged with being actuated by partizan motives iu the decision of grave questions of law.' In short every department of the State government was denounced as unworthy the confidence or support of the people. The leaders of the Democratic party, have spared no effort to cover the private charac ter of our best citizens with a moral leprosy in the eyes of the world. - Each Democratic editor was supplied with an inexhaustible supply of filth, which he was charged to spread with lavish hands over the character of every man who dared to support, either the National or State administrations. Every Democratic orator was supplied with a volume of epithets, and it was made their special duty to inculcate the belief that if a cargo of emetic was thrown into hell the infernal pit could not vomit forth such monsters as the Republican party had placed in power in North Carolina. Not content with words of contempt for the organic and all law, and all officers, whether Legislative, Executive or Judicial, they passed on to acts. They have conspir ed together and by means of horrid oaths, with death penalties attached, have in many sections set all law at defiance American citizens, loyal to their flag and true to their country, have been by them cruelly scourg ed, disseized of their property, and assassi nated. And when the Executive in the discharge of his sworn duty, attempts to bring the assas sins ot these men to justice, a sympathy is manifested throughout the entire State wherever a Democrat can be found, and the Governor is denounced for his efforts to res store order and enforce respect for the law. People of North Carolina, will you sup port this party of violence, abuse, lawless ness and crime, or will you vote for law, order and peace. That Rascally Virtue Prudence. Gov. Graham draws the line of color, and upon this rock they build the White Broth erhood. Can it be that the founder of this degree has been permitted to put others on the rock and cry out, go it boys, while he lingered in the rear ? Does he think that the rascally virtue Prudence, which has been his motto through life, will now shield him from the scorn and contempt of his delu ded victims, the Kuklux, or from the just penalties which the law attaches to one who aids, comtorts, counsels and advises crime f - Did prudence prevent him from going to Washington, with CoL Bedford Brown, as promised, to pray for his victims to an offended Executive ? Judging from the teuor cf CoL Brown's talk in Raleigh while he may think that Graham's conduct was prudent, it must remind him of the catspaw. He forgot his usual prudence when he told the boys that the whipping of a poor color ed woman was " a species ot wild justice perhaps necessary," and did not tell them that " wild justice" did not extend to put ting negroes in mill ponds, and to hanging them in the court grove and by the high ways. Vance has none of this rascally virtue. He rushes into-folly and crime like a catamount in full jump. " Though thou bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him." Poor white-faced, white-eyed, white liver- ed braggart Turner, nobody expected anything better ot him. His raising was coarse, vulgar and brutal, and he has never known or felt any of the impulses that ac tuate a virtious and good man. To exhort him to truth, virtue and honesty is to CBSt pearls before swine. Graham is better and in a'l probability, would have been a better man but for his association with Turner. You cannot touch pitch and not be defiled. Gov. Brass & Co's Address to the People. Gov. Bragg and the rest of the Euklux are out in an address in Saturday's Sentinel to the Euklux of this State. It is like most of the documents that have lately emanated from the Sentinel office, full of misrepresen tations and falsehoods. It consists almost entirely of re-hashed editorials of the Sen tinel. Tltcre is no proof in them, there is no point in them. It advises, or rather orders, tne Euklux to be quiet. This is a piece of advice we would most earnestly join them in. It is an old maxim that "there is no rest for the wicked." It may be shortly, perhaps, proved to be a new one as well. There is one thing, however, to which we call attention. It cither proves that those Euklux depended upon our ignorance or relied upon their imagination. Either is equally as bad, for it shows a want of sin cerity and truth. In this address it is stated that " though the power of the Governor to raise such a force has all the while been as serted by him, yet no law has been shown by him to authorize it, and we arc confident that none such exists." The Sentinel saves us the trouble for it gives it in the same issue itself. The Sen tinel says in our article upon Gov. Holden that " on the 16th ot December last the no torious and infamous bill, known as the Shoffner militia bill, under the authority of which good citizens of this State are now being arrested, etc., etc." "The notorious and infamous bill." It then seems it was notorious. If it was " no torious," the Sentinel and its backer. Gov. Bragg, must have known of it This is un fortunate for them. You ought to remem ber, gentlemen, never to make two different statements in the same paper. Try and lie within reason, if. possible, and don't force us to see your mendacity. In one column it is denied that there is any authority for the military movement, and in another the aullwrity itself is quoted. We can stand ordinary lies, but such an extraordinary one cannot help attracting our attention. Fonnd it at Last Glory ! We have at last found out the reason that Rogers won't meet James H. Harris. ' He is so far behind him in votes and sense ho can't catch up with him. Well, since that is so, we'll excuse you Rogers: The Emperor of the Eoklnx. He has fled! This chief of the highest order the invisible Empire. The man whose mere mandate could cause the assassination of any man in North-Carolina; who long since has decreed the death of his Excellency the Governor; and whose horrid design was only prevented by an active and vigilant police ; the prime agent in all the terrible crimes which have disgraced our State has fled. Let him go. It is well that we are rid of such a dangerous secret enemy. Let him wander like Mazzim in mountains and caves ; for we tell him that unless he flies beyond the limits of the Uni ted States, and of those governments with which we have extradition treaties he will be dragged back and punished for his mur ders, and other horrid crimes, of which he was the prime instigator. North Carolina's Governor loves m peo ple. He is determined to protect them from this Emperor and all other tyrants. He has many of the subordinates in this new treason now in custody, and we are satisfied that he will have their chief. . . Oh ! what a horrid state of things, when in a Republican Government, a secret des potism can be established and sworn to sub vert liberty and to destroy peace and order. And how unreasonable it is that the appa rent friends of liberty should attempt to thwart the Chief Executive in his effort to put down this horrid combination. We arc satisfied that the people of North- Carolina will sustain their Governor in this extreme emergency, that they will rally to his support in alt the measures he has adopted to save them from the horrors of another war. He has appealed to an unusual, but a ne cessary principle of government, the mili tary power, in this our greatest trial. His justification is in the result .He has broken up and crushed this terrible organization this new and dangerous treason. Ho owed it to the people of North Carolina who had honored him ; and we are satisfied that they will uphold him in what he has done. He has restored law and order. He has preserved the public peace. He has saved the poor and the humble from the persecu tions of the rich and powerful, and as a cli max, he has rid North Carolina of her greatest enemy, the Emperor of the Euklux. Judge Pearson's Opinion and the Mill, tary Movement. We have studied long and carefully Judge Pearson's opinion in the habeas corpus case of A- G. Moore, and the more we sec of it the morC we like it It is straight forward, honest, learned and bold. It is as much as wc could desire, for it sus tains the Executive in all he has done. In reading it casually we are apt to pass over many significant things which only a careful perusal can call directly to our atten tion. Every word in it means something! and it abounds in sentences and thoughts which are pregnant with meaning. ! The Judge decides that the Governor has lawful power to declare counties in a state of insurrection whenever, in his judg ment, it shall he necessary ; that he has the lawful power to arrest and detain all sus pected parties. Thus the judiciary disap points the howling Euklux, who thronged its chambers, and instead of placing itself in opposition to the Executive, sustained him in every particular. Further, the Court declares that all the physical power of the State is at the command of the Governor, and that in the intent of Constitution the Judiciary and the Executive cannot be em broiled. This is a sentence it would be well for the Euklux and disaffected to read carefully, and, reading, to ponder on and digest ' Again, the Chief Justice declares that " the safety of tlie Slate is the supreme law.1 This he not only declares but takes spe cial care to call attention to, 4y placing it witTiio quotation marks. Now, the Chief Justice is a man of learn ingf experience and fi rce. He knows 'the meaning of words, and when he uses them, uses them for a purpose. It is idle to sup pose that his Honor would have used that sentence without having some principle to inculcate, some axiom to point out. "The sifely of the State is the supreme few." What can this mean It means that war and insurrection have laws, which peace and quiet dream not of. Do you understand it now ? It means something and that is the only thing it can mean. This is plain ; the execution of it, perhaps, may be plainer. To the People of North-Carolina. The Euklux leaders have met with an ex tremc reverse. They were leading on the people to another conflict with the Union. They had decreed the overthrow of the State government Tlicy were destroying the peace and good order of the community. They were making a fatal stab at the mor ality of our people, and had well nigh un settled the divine principles of humanity taught by our Lord on the Mount, and sealed witli his blood on Cavalry. Life, liberty and property were in many sec tions insecure a tendency to barbaric retaliation wide spread, and the whole State evidently drifting a vay from the principles of civil liberty and civil right, to mob law and anuichy. At this stage the Governor and the Presi dent interfered with the strong arm ol mil itary power. They delayed almost too long, for their conflict has been severe and difficult Tlicy hate triumphed, they have nipped in the bud this new treason, they have broken up the insurrection and have captured the insurgents. This great work has been misinterpreted. They could make no explanation during the active operations of their inovements. But in a few days, a full exposition of the whole will satisfy the people of North Caro lina that their prompt action fia alone saved our State from another, and s bloody con flict. Bad men, the same who once before filled our whole land with mourning and lamentation, were again at work. - ' In 18G0 their rebellion was open and flagrant; this new treason secret, and there fore the more dangerous and difficult to meet. People of North-Carolina, you who love peace and order ; you who cannot afford to be again dragged into conscript armies; you who love the Union, and look upon the flag of our country as the only protection to civil rights, and the only defender of the rights of all men the poor and the rich alike stand by your country in her hour of peril stand firmly to those great defenders of the Union, the President and the Governor of this State. Hold np their hands in their efforts to maintain your rights and the peace of the country. , . An election is at hand. March np to the polls and give moral support to these, your friends, by sustaining the gteat Republican party for which they act. Cantion. The story goes that a monkey once used a cat's paw to pull chestnuts .out of the fire. The cat got the scorching while the monkey, got the chestnut and the monkey thought it a very prudent and praiseworthy trans action. Gov. Graham uses the Euklux to get office for himself and his son Johnny, but is pru dent enough to keep himself and all of his kin out ot the scrape. He loves the chest nuts but takes care of tho fire. Caution is sometimes a rascally virtue. False Rnmors. All sorts of false rumors have been put in circulation through the Slate by the Euklux Democracy. One is that the election will continue two days. There will be but one voting dny. ' Another is that the election has been sus pended in a number of counties, and that it will probably be suspended entirely. There is no power to suspend the election. Another is that the people of the State at large will be burdened with heavy taxes next year to pay for calling out the militia. The law requires that the expense incurred in calling out the militia shall be borne by the counties declared in a state of insurrec tion. ' Thus the law-abiding citizens of Warren and Halifax will not be taxed one cent to pay the expenses of the mili tia. That expense must be borne by the property holders of Alamance and Caswell who have encouraged the En klux in their outrages, and who have helped to screen them from justice. It is further provided that when a person or per. sons is convicted of Eukluxing, the expen ses of the militia shall be taxed in the bill of costs against said person or persons and paid into the County treasury. This is just If influential citizens in Al amance and Caswell disregard the laws and whip, and mutilate and murder any humau being in those Counties, or if they tncour ago others so to do, they should be made to foot the bill If the tax -payers of Wake have set their faces. against all violence and lawlessness, and by the force of public opin ion, kept down the Euklux and protected inoffensive citizens, it would be unjust to call on these law-abiding tax-payers to pay for the crimes committed in Caswell and Alamaucc, and the law does not require it , . The property-holders can exercise a who(e.i some influmos ut 6e half bf la wXnl orde, and prevent the outrages' which nave for the past twelve months disgraced portions of this State. If they choose to conspire with outlaws against the peace of society, they must pay for their folly, and all good men will say amen. Another Kuklux Proclamation. Ex-Gov. Bragg and his associate counsel, having failed by intimidation to make a Euklux of the Chief Justice ; and the judi cial recourse "the last ditch" having gone in his new proclamation, signed by himself as chief and by a number of small fry Euklux as associates commands his agents to preserve the peace. His former proclamation, while it preten ded to order peace, justified and encour aged violence. Why this change? The. vigorous policy of the Governor has subdued his followers. The recent developments of their hellish work in Alamance and Cas well, and the daily and hourly confessions of the deluded and ignorant lower Euklux, have struck terror into their camp. We do not now hear from his lips grandiloquent appeals for war " let the blood rest upon him who shall resist your Honor's writ" justitia fiat, ruat, caelum. He sings a dif ferent tune, now. He is preparing to de sert his deluded followers and leave them to their fate. He did it once and we may ex pect it of him again. Poor men of North-Carolina beware of these old party hacks. To save their ne groes they brought upon us the miseries of the war, in which we had no interest. They promised us peaceable Secession, and they gave us a Woody tear, and the conscript act. You suffered, for your wives and little ones depended upon your labors for their support. These leaders revelled in plenty when your families were pinched with hunger. Yon are not ot them, your interests are diverse from theirs, and tlicy but use yon as tools. They are about to provoke a new war with the Union, and they are inflaming you against the only friend you have, the United States. . Bragg and company were tliuir leaden in 1860-61; Bragg and company arc their leaders now. They deceived you then, they will deceive you now. Tlicy deserted yon then, they will and are preparing to desert you now. Shun them as you would a viper, that had stung you once and was preparing to sting you again with renewed venom. Not Bad. Gen. Leach, in canvassing the 5th district for Congress, has, in imitation ot one of his illustrious brethren of the bar, seen fit to drive a lean, lank, long-cared and long legged, candnverous mouse colored horse, evidently for the purpose of creating sym pathy. It is well known that Leach is a lover of fine stock, and in times past kept the best of horses ond thirty "niggers," which said "niggers," he says, will vote for him in the ensuing election, notwithstand ing the fact that they live in Arkausas, and it is furthermore known to be true that he has but one colored man liviug on his lot in Lexington. While driving from Lcasburg to Roxboro', the other day, the General,' as is his custom, electioneered all the boys and girls on the road. One bright little fellow put the Dem ocratic candidate through the following jovial course of sprouts: Leach "Sonny, God bless you; how do you do 1 Your mother must be a fine look ing woman ! G.id bless the ladies ! What do you do now-a days ?" Boy "Well, principally playing marbles, fishing and swimming. What do you fol low, old fellow T' Leach "Well, I'm following Scott, the Republican candidate for Congress. I want to beat dim. Don't you think I can do it ?" "Boy (with a cunning glance at the phao tom steed) "Ha 1 ha ! I think it will be a long time before you reach up with him with that 'ere horse." Hon. Virtnons J. Leach. Poor virtuous Jeemcs, we pityjfhce, in deed we do. Nature hath played thee false. Sho gave thee the ambition of a Napoleon, the vanity of a peocock,. and one third tlie sense of a dull musquito, and this is why wc pity thee. Oh Nature, nature why did'st thou treat our Jccmes thusly. Or did'st thou think that by making him a Leach he could suck votes. In this thou art mistaken for he is too virtuous to do so. Poor, poor Jeemes, he had better leave and retire. Persistence can only bring mor tification. 4,000 majority for Scott next Thursday will ring thy political death knell. Mean. Josiah Turner in his Hillsborough reso lutions censures Judge Pearson for bis delay in the Euklux case. The same charge has been made in several editions of the Sentinel. Judge Pearson for three days listened with great patience and courtesy to the long and inflamitory speeches of the counsel for the Enklux, while the counsel for the State spoke only one hour. The Judge in one day examined the authorities cited and wrote a calm, learned and able opinion upon the important questions involved, and yet he is censured for delay. Why have not the learned and distinguish t ed counsel who caused the delay been gen erous enough to correct the impudent and injurious charges of the Euklux organ ? It seems to ns, however, that you Euklux should not growl about the delay. The opinion come soon enough for yon, we should think. Register I Register 1 !

Scott harshly! because he didn't meet liini promptly. conceived that Gen. Leach's affected willing ness to meet Gen. Scott was all a pretense, and that be was glad to get rid of him in "order that he might engage in the stu pendous exaggerations with the least pos sible difficulties. He began to speak at Mt, Airy about 1 o'clock, and spoke until after 5 o'clock. His speech was along, scattering, worthless oration, flavored with much villi fication and vituperation against the last Legislature and the present administration in I ne State of North Carolina, denouncing the officers with fraud, corruption and ex travagance, and never said "$20 Bobbins n the first time. At the comiui-ncement of the discussion, of what he called " the political issues of the day," he said he would "speuk eth the truth and nothing but the truth." and would prove the assertions he made. Now, Mr. Editor, to give yonafew points he did make, and let you and your readers be your own judges whether he was armed with the panoply of veracity and fastened his assertions with the strong pins ot truth. He spoke at great length to the colored people. He talked solt as sponge to them, and cast two electioneering balls at tbc blacks, while he only threw one at tne w hites, and ultimately invited them to meet him at theaeademy that night; but I didn't go; I know not what be said or did to them there;' but he unmistakably appealed to toe hnad-ncn in his spevch during Aao dny witlx claspetf lianas jutrl. upttmjwt cycsTpITI 'their patronage-at f lis ballot box. lie plead piteously aotfeorrowfully to them for their votes ; tried to make them believe he had been their greatest benefactor all his life, and no doubt would have bad them Where, if possible, that he had opened the'ecstocy of his existence in administering solaces .and nursing negro babies. Poor Leach! Can the thirsting aspirant gut a colored man's vote in old Burry ? The poor tellow's condi tion will be deplorably miserable after the announcement of the ultimate catastrophe on the first Thursday in August, when Gen. Scctt has ridden triumphantly over the thirsty, bellowing demagogue of the 5th district Mr. Editor, Gen. Leach had the bare faced assurance to tell the colored people of Mt Airy that the "Conservative party were their greatest friends and benclnctors, and the depraved, corrupt, and rascally Repub lican party were their worst enemies; that the Republicans would take them and squeeze the votes out of them and I lien throw them awny, as the boy squeezes his orange over a lass of liquor and then throws away the hull." As you seemed ready to give the lie to many things in your speech, I say, without hesitancy. Gen. Leach these arc glar ing falsities. In the name of common sense, don't every thinking man in the State of North-Carolina kuow, that this language is &t variance with truth, when the great Re publican party of the State and nation, has been the only party that has lifted their bauds, and raised their voices in favor of the extension of universal liberty, freedom and equality before the law. Republicans have been the only people that have labored to extend the privileges and immunities of citizenship to " all men without regard to race, color or previous condition ot servi tude." While the party which Mr. Leach now represents while the members of the company into which he has fallen have striven with all their vast mental and physi cal powers to prevent this, and trample them into the dust, bind the fetters of vtis saia rr, and drive the bands of slavery tighter and tighter. The very men which he now represents in his candidacy for the next United States Congress are the people who implicated our lovely nation in the wildest strife, fury, contention, and agonizing civil war, deluged our country in blood for four long years, and pledged " the last man and the last dollar" in the South. For what ? For what, Gen. Leach, was this done? It was tor the protraction and unlimited con tinuation of miserable, ignomineius, and de grading slavery upon the colored people of the South. : Tills W as done by the men whom you call "the "reat benefactor of the colored race." What else did your brother Conservative friends do as a gteat benefaction to tlie lrccdinen ( After the emancipation, they .met in 1866, in State Convention at Kaleigb, to frame aConstitu tion for us and the colored man to live under, and said iu the Constitution, that the colored man should work roads, pay taxes, and that all other labors incumbent upon free citizens of the government should rest upon their shoulders; and that same Con servative instrument provided that those men should not vote at the ballot box, or hold any office in the State of North-Carolina down to the 16tb generation. What a glorious Conservative benefaction to the colored man! There are many other chari ties that have been offered tbe colored man which are of an analogous character. They used their strongest means against them at the ratification of the Constitution framed by the Convention of 1868, and this was the great instrument which extended to them the elective franchise, the political and civil liberties which they now enjoy. They viewed this with scorn and contempt; and the frenzy Conservative orators of the State harangued and howled against it, with the utmost indignation, and the wildest horror. and cried in disdain, " Negro Government" Negro Supremacy," Negro Equality, &c. And they all endorsed the policy of Frank r. Blair, to " disperse the carpet-bag gov ernment at the South, and allow the white people to organize their Governments, and elect Senators and Representatives." Th s policy breathed treason, disloyalty, and be ligerency against the governiiicn'. No man would have been the author of such an in strument, but a black demon inspired with the worst diabolism, and these Conserva tives approved his policy, tried to carry his wicked designs into effect, and snatch awry the freedom you received at the hands of the Republican party, yet Gen. Lench said it was not the Republican party that freed you, but he said it was God that freed you, and he never informed you who were the instruments in God's hand to do the work. Ah ! be was alraid to tell yiu that. He knew that God's efficacious instrument in that achievement, was the great Republican party ot the nation. These are some of the brilliant little truths that sained expression from your big vesti bule, " virtuDUs Jiiuniy." ' Look at the great Conservative I benefactions of which you spoke in Mt Airv3en. Leach, .-. . -'He prated it good dul about the vqiMn- during of the present. State school fund, by the last" Legislature, valiich is an infamous 'falsity, and Leach well knew it. This is an other low descension and mean resort of Conservative argument, and they seem never to have the presence of mind about them to promulgate the fact, that the officials of the rebellion in North-Carolina, together with Gov. Vance and Gov. Worth to assist them in the disbursement, squandered and em bezzeled $1,000,000 of school fund; and this, too, to be instrumental in wonting the downfall of the donator the great American Kepuulic. He plainly said, " the taxes should now be lower than they were before the war," an assertion so preposterous iu its nature, so inconsistent with human reason, and so at variance with the principles of veracity, as not to need confutation. He denounced the State administration ns being "corrupt and extravagant in the extreme. Bo tar as con cerns Gov. Holdcn's administration, it truly merits praise from every true patriot and lover of justice and right in North Carolina. All the actions of the Legislature were not expedient and commendable; but who, with reasonable sagacity and wisdom, expected tne Legislature to do every thing that was to do without protracted legislation and incum brance of taxation. It is plain to every un prejudiced mind, that it was an utter im possibility for any party to restore the State to its original position in the Federal Union, inaugurate a system of civil government establish law, order and protection to the citizens of the State at the end of the most miserable reign of terror, the blackest tyr anny and oppression that ever existed without incurring expense. Tho original economical purposes and intentions of Re publicanism can, and will ye t be carried out, -through slight relormation. Gen. Leach engaged in the bitterest and most sarcastic I denunciation of Governor Holden's proclamation and the military op wtu uiiuta- Ty, ordered by the Governor, was intended to sway the coming election, and cause the Republicans to carry the State, and there was no use for such an. usurpation. It should be put down trampled, under foot and it was just as easy to get rid of this militia, ordered by the Governor, as it was for a tor toise to fall off a log into a pond of water." - He thus plainly and significantly winked at and encouraged the midnight Euklux assassinations and murders, and uttered one of the most palpable falsehoods that was ever lisped by man, when he said "the military was intended to control theelection." Every patriot ond liberty loving citizen in the State of North-Carolina sustains the call of Gov ernor Holden, and every unprejudiced man in the State is compelled to confess implicit ly that Gov. Holden has, from the beginning of his administration, used his best' endeav ors to promote the greatest interests of the whole peope to advance tho integrity, -prosperity and renown of the good old State, t". restore law and order, preserve Peace and tmnnnilitu and natabliah ft.- ' great principles of universal justice and right throughout the State. Governor Holden has ; ever f had an eye of . in terest turned to the general welfare of the common people. His object in orderingnlie militia, (though he never did it until all mild measures had failed and proved inef fectual.) was to protect the powerless and the innocent was to put down Euklux vio lence, ferret out crime, and bring fat punish ment those niggardly demons who . have stained their hands with the blood of tho in nocent, and blackened their souls with tbe deepest sin. Gov. Holden was actuated by the purest incentives in thus extending pro tection to the defenceless; and lie that de nounces the Governor as a tyrant is himself a traitor to justice, a demon to liberty, an enemy to tlie good of his State, and a lover of strife, confusion and blood. Gen. Leach, you evidently meant something when you said "it was just as easy to get rid of the military as for a tortoise to fall off log;" and, sir. that meaning was nothing but to elect a Conservative Euklux Legisla ture that would deprive the Governor of the power to call out tbe militia to suppress in surrections, and protect the people of the State from domestic violence, and give the Euklux a general sway over the State, and allow them to outrage, intimidate, frighten, whip, .shoot and hang peaceable and law- eeojOT-in!a-X''-inaugurate il, leign of terror and bloodshed in our midst The Government of Tennessee is a brilliant model for our State Government, if Gen. ' Leach's designs were carried out Tbe lives and liberties of the people would be staked at the point of the sword and the mouth of the pistol; the life-blood would pour freely from the veins of the innocent and the de fenceless, and Gen. Leach would sit in silenco and never speak the first word against tbe inhuman, savage, imd ungodly atrocities committed by those fiendish villains; and if he did say anything, it would be in the form of an apologv lor their deeds, just like it was in Mt Airy, after apologizing far their damnable commissions and abominable cru elties the most intolerable of all wicked ness, he said : " If there be such an organ ization as the Euklux, in existence," doubt, ing, questioning the existence ot such a class, "it grew out ol the Union Leagues." The first part of this sentence is the avowed language of a maniac, an asylum fool ; and the lust part of it is as base a falsehood as Jimmy Leach ever told. Out of good evil , seldom comes, and it is an utter impossibili ty tor such mean, wicked and intolerable principles as characterize Eukluxism to have sprung from as noble a thing as the Union : . League into the rottenness and blackness of Euklux diabolism, is beyond the power of. human means. And, Gen. Leach,, your equivocal and ambiguous expression about " the existence of such a class as the Kuklux,: is so idiotic, and exhibits such a little de gree of general information and knowledge, that it is astounding, and startles me almost -into convulsions, to think that a great Con- r servative lawyer would come round on an electioneering tour for a seat in the Congress of tbe United States and manifest such igno rance, and show to the people that he has such a small amount of brains, as to call in ques tion the existence of a band of villians, that the greatest fool in North Carolina, . would readily tell you did exist, were you . to ask him. We say, that the man who ap- -peuls to the people in thundering tones of feeling eloquence, and pledges himself to promote tbe general interest, and common good of the whole people, morally, phisi cially and civilly, and then turn round in the next strain, and wink at Euklux depre dations, and apologize for their detestable and horrid abominations to the government, is no better than a Euklux. " the concealer is as mean as the thief." The stain of blood is upon his head, and the blotch of sin is written against him, his heart, his soul, and his purposes are full of rotten du plicity and corruption, and his argument! fraught with the worst paralogism. " Vir tuous Jimmy, " you are one of the dema- gocs to whom I have reference. , How do you like it, Gen. Leach ? Gen. Leach your Conservative sophistry is too transparent not to be penetrated by the eye of Republi can scrutiny. You must modify your argu mentative ramifications and flavor tUein with a little more of your sound reason - before you come round through old Surry on another canvassing tour. And you talK about politicians cnanging tneir politics "every other old woman's wash day." You must lecollect that Gen. Leach fluctuates on the waves of political tide; and you will certainly not forget the time when you spoke at Mount Airy, in 1805, and told the Secessionists they never would get forgive esj until they '.'took leather cn your knees and prayer in repentance for par don." I was a little boy then, but I recol lect that much of your speech. When you go in quest of a man that is " mighty dry " tor office, you can stop at the residence of him whose name is known as General J. M. Leacb. He would like to know what the great Republican party had done. Sir, it . has -wrought mighty deeds, both in the State and nation. It has saved the State of North. Carolina from the grave of political ruin, not far from wb ich you will be on the first Thursday in August, when Gen. Scott gets done with you. We were sporting upon the crumbling bench of destruction, the black abyss of anarchy was yawning before us, and we were ready to plunge into the convulsive bowels of misery, and tbc Republican patty deliv ered us from this deplorable attitude, amid the hoarse clamor of your Conservative fac- . 'tions, amid their disapprobations, and all.. the mighty cliorts they could work against ,, it ' The Republicans resurrected the State out pf the dark, and abominable pit of re -bellion, when it was lying dead, rotting and emitting the odious affluviu of secession, while the good on Conservatives were using their utmost endeavors to sink us deeper and deeper, to plunge us aown ward through their diabolical and fiendish tlirist for yean. Neither Gen. Leach, nor any of his polit ical compeers can can carry old Surry. Tbe will talk all right on the day of election.

I noticed in the Sentinel of the 23rd, a card from W. H. Malone, (carpet bag member from Tennessee) explaining his motive in not appearing in the bells of the State Capital at the time of the next meet ing of the General Assembly. The truth is this, he was anxious to oblige as, but we arc not asses enough to be disgraced by him ' a second time. His own party acknowl edged that there are not five men in the county who would vote for Malone, and so far as his nomination is concerned, his name was not so much.as mentioned amongst them. The Conservatives got sick of their member -when they read the Standard last winter. Not long since there was a public meet ins in Lenoir, and Mr. Malone was beard to say that if the people did not do something for him be would do something for himself. The Conservatives were cer tain he was coming over to tbe Republican party. He spoke . of " a clique" being against him. There is one, it comprises the voting population of t his county. We have only to refer to the Standard to find a man's record in the City of Oaks. " Lenoir, July 29th, 1870 The Lexington Gazette tells this extraordi nary story: -We heard a well-authenticated story, a day or two ago, that seems hardly credible, but it is vouched for by a respects-' ble lady, who know-B the facts. A poor old woman, living on Elkhorn, many years ago, had no fowls of any kind, and was too poor to bny any, but her little son fonnd a duck's nest with two eggs in it, and carried them to his mother. She had no way of hatching them, so she put them in her bosom and carried ' them there till the hont of her body did ac tually hatch out two ducks. The eld woman would actually, sit on the side of the creek every day for hours, -knitting industriously, but wacbing her little charges most attentive ly. Thtscontinued until the ducks werelully grows Snd able to ialiii tare of themselves." Vr V.
