STILL INDUCING THE DEBT.
The government still continues to reduce
the public debt. Dining the last month it
shows a reduction of several millions of
dollars, and this beside paying all the cur
rent expenses. This is most gratifying to
all who desire to see*the debt wiped out
and the credit of the government thorough
ly established. Under the reduced rate ol
taxation this rapid curtailment of the debt
cannot continue, but the country w ill be
satisfied with less reduction of the debt
and greater freedom from taxation. What
has been done toward paying off the debt
is shown in the following;
Public debt, decrease for July, $17,034,123 74

THE TROUM.ES IX SO. CAliOLlX-i
For several weeks past telegrams from
North Carolina to the press of the country
have shown a bad condition of aifaiis in
that State. Indeed, at no time since the
war has North Carolina been in a com
pletely settled condition, and deeds ot vio
lence have been alarmingly frequent.—
Oilieers of the law have been murdered by
concealed assassins, and peaceful citizens
have been shot down at the thresholds ol
their dwellings. The fact that all the vic
tims of these assassinations were Republi
cans was so significant as to force the be
lief that the murders were for political
purposes, and were done by order of sorai
secret organization.
The State government, through its de
tectives, at last definitely ascertained tin
fact of the existence of this organization,
which calls itself the Constitutional Union
Guard, or the Ku Klux Klan. In the coun
ties of Jervis, Lenoir and Craven, the
operations of the Ku Klux had been ex
{tensive and bold, and many murders and
! outrages had been committed by them.
The sheriff of the county of Jervis, while
! riding home in the night time was killed
I by men ambushed by the side of the road.
• Col. Shepard, a leading republican of Le
noir county, while sitting at his door was
killed by persons who fired at him from
across the river. James Grant, a colored
man who was a leader among his people,
was also assassinated. Tiie detectives
after working up these cases found suffi
cient evidence to warrant the arrest of five
men. Three of the five turned State's
evidence and confessed that they belonged
to the Ku Klux, and had participated in
these murders by order of their superiors.
They fully exposed the workings anil de
signs of the organization, whose chief ob
ject was to restore “a wbite man’s govern
ment,” and “to accomplish, so far as pos
sible, that which the rebellion failed to
accomplish.” With all this evidence no
jury could be found to convict the accused,
lhead of the vengeance of the secret as
sassins, and the presence of members <>t
the organization, upon the jury, prevented
justice being done. Other similar trials
resulted in the same manner. So exten
sive were the ramifications of the organi
zation that no jury could be summoned
which did not include members of the Ku
Kbix Klan. More than this, in many of
the counties a large proportion of the offi
cers of the law were themselves members
of this traitorous society.
Such a state of affairs could not fail to
work disorder. It did not. In the coun
ties of Orange, Chatham, Alamance and
Caswell the Ku Klux inaugurated a reign
if terror. Bands of masked men roamed
the country nights, hanging, shooting and
whipping every republican who had made
himself obnoxious to the Democracy by
seal in opposing them. At la t so power
'd had the Ku Klux become that the civil
luthorities were impotent to protect the
•itizens ot these counties. The State gov
ernment was forced to declare a portion
if the State to he in a state of insurrection,
mil to use the military arm to put down
he traitors and to protect the life and
iroperty of loyal citizens. This lias been j
lone, and the Ku Klux have been over- !
powered and defeated ill their endeavors !
to carry the State for the democrats by in
timuhuiug their opponents by murders
and outrages.

Carolina” of which so much is now being
said, and of which so little is known at
the North. And in conclusion it would be
well for the decent and moderate men
who have been acting with the Northern
Democracy to consider whether they can
as true men aid a party whose triumph in
the North would put into power such vil
lains in tint South. Every man in the
South who is true to government is now
acting with the Republican party. To this
rule there is, there can be no exceptions.
The “ Democratic” party of the South i>
not the true Democratic patty. It bears
the name but .hat is all. it is a parly
composed equally of Whigs and Demo
crats whose very intense principle is
hatred ot the government, and whose
only aim is to undo all that was done by
the war. llow any Northern man, how
any ex-soldier, how any true man can
work for or even desire the success ot such
a party is incomprehensible. Let every
such man reflect upon his position. f
Elections will be held this fall in all the
States except Oregon, New Hampshire,
C'onnectieu and Rhode Island. Sixteen
States are to choose United Slates Sena
tors, ami live have already done so.
The Republican State Convention for
Massachusetts has been called to meet in

The Farmer who raises produce for a dis
tant market is limited to a few articles, such
as wheat, corn, rye, etc., which greatly ex
haust the soil, while he who has a market
near at hand can cultivate almost any pro
duct for which Ids soil and climate are adapt
ed, and can have a thorough rotation of crops,
so necessary to preserve the vitality ot ids
soil. _
Benjamin Willis, an older brother of the
late Wdliam Willie of Portland, died in
Brookline, Massachusetts, Thursday 28th ult.
Four years ago hr was attacked with paraly
sis. and though it did nut prove immediately
fatal, it impaired his health so that he has
never recovered it since. In 1H03 he went to
Portland with his father, ami engaged in the
dry goods business in which he was very suc
cessful.

The young democracy, led by Bion
Bradbury, have met with failure in their
attempt to establish a party of their own.
Their defeat comes from a source where
it might have been expected, but which it
appears they were so sanguine oi success,
as to overlook. The few sore-head
republicans that endorsed the movement
found themselves alone when the test
came. Their name was not “Legion,
nor, indeed, had it any potency against the
republican organization in the State,
which never stood firmer than at this day.

dividuals to get that gentleman to consent
to be voted for against Mr. 1’erham
was called has come to a sudden and rather
disastrous end. A letter addressed to him.
embodying the views I have already written
you almut, although pressed hard in this
community and in the Hast, failed to get a
respectable number of signatures, and the
abandonment of the scheme is now an
: nounced. It is not believed that the Govern
or would have become a party to the project
in any ordinary event. This falls heavily on
certain Republicans who hoped to float their
own personal ventures upon the supposed
; ocean of the popularity of the movement, and
whose little barks are now left bung on the
roek of despair; while the snowy bearded and
traditional Democracy, who were beaten off
from making a nomination at the Convention,,
by assurances that there would he new leaven
in their loaf if they set it away till the August
heats, are loud in their complainings, and
ask with derisive bitterness “Where are the
victories that you promised us?” And so
the Convention at Bangor on the Kith prox
imo will he substantially a funereal con
course. and while it may not be of great can
sequefice what they do, let me predict that
Gen. Chas. W. Roberts will be nominated.
, Ti e juveniles can go for him violently, be
cause he is a soldier and is young : while tlu
ancients had their hearts softened toward
him because he opposed adjournment and de

WAi: SPLINTERS.
Tin' fight at Saarbruck was not much of
a fight after all. It amounted to little;
more than a skirmish, but afforded a
ehitiii'e to praise tin* Prince Imperial for!
his great courage in looking on at a safe
distance. Sure the blood of Napoleon
is in his veins.
The German- in this country arc holding
war .meeting!*, but except in speeches the,
amount to but little. We venture to sa\
that the number who will return to the
fatherland to fight will not make a great
hole in the census.
It is thought that Napoleon erred in not
pushing promptly into Bavaria; he would
thereby have neutralized the action of till
Southern Germany. Such a movement is j
impossible now, because it would expose
Paris,
The lower chamber of the Hungarian
Diet has voted a supplementary credit of
“five millions for defence, and has author
ized the calling out of the next year's eon- j
tingent when necessary.
The Journal Official savs the govern-!
meiit has decided that during the war no j
person, of whatever nationality,' will be ;
permitted to enter or leave France without ^
a passport. This, huweiVr, is not appli
cable to the subjects of those States actual
ly at war with France. They can only
travel in the interior, with the special per
mission of the Minister of the Interior.
The Public says that the French govern
ment has contracted for a cable between
Calais and some point in Jutland, Den
mark, in order that the operations of the
Baltic fleet may he reported to and from
the capital.
The Loudon Post approves of Mr. Glad
stone's polit v of pence, so long as Belgium
remains untouched. It refers to old
treaties between the United States and
Prussia, and says the restrictions as to
articles contraband of war will probably
become a dead letter for the United States, j
especially as England pays no attention to j
them.
The Berlin correspondent of the London i
News says the Prussian plan of campaign [
consists in a simultaneous advance of the |
whole army, without the reservt s, toward*
the French frontier. The four main rail
road.- leading from the Elbe to the Rhine
I will then he altogether stopped tor private
I traffic during the days destined to the con
veyanre of troops. It is supposed that 1
i each of these railways cau convey 20,000.
I soldiers a day. The locomotives and
wagons returning next day, 20,000 again
may be e in eyed on the -ante railway the
third day. when they will have collected
at the stations in tin* Ea-t, or will have
been echeloned along the line. Thus the
240,(XH) men of th North German army,
now in garrisons c a.-t of the Rhine, will be
: on the banks of thatf river the fifth day
after the commencement of the movement.
The reserves will follow as they come in,
1 which, in Prussia, is very quickly. The
Landwehr, this time, not destined to act
j on the aggressive, will till tip the garri
i oils. Thus the advance from the Rhine,
which will be crossed at <'ologne, t’ob
lentz and Mnyence by the permanent rail
j way bridges, will be made with 30,000
i men complete, followed by 100,000, who
j will gradually fall in with their cadres,
j The advance will be concentric upon l'ar
! is, unhesitating and unceasing, until the
j French arc met. Neither an attack from
j the sea nor a French diversion in Southern
j Germany will be heeded.
The Mathias Union says that the house of
Thouias Robb of Alexander was burned on

Examination at Orono.
The annual examination of the classes of
the Maine State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts was held at Orono on Wednes
day. The Whig says the exercises were in

structors. At the close, remarks were mule
by Gov. Chamberlain. Rev. Messrs Allen,
Reed and Raker. The prize declamations of

Two Barns Burnrd In Wells.
On the night of the 28th ult.. the barn of
Ellison Hill, on the Lower Road, in Wells,
was consumed by fire. The contents of the
barn—some four tons of hay and a carriage
belonged to Christopher Littlefield ot Wells,
whose loss is about $150. The barn was not
valuable; no insurance; another suspected
incendiarism. Also on the 31st ult., at about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, the barn of (’has.
W. Boston, on the Lower Road, vritli all its
contents, was laid in ashes. It contained up
wards of 25 tons of hay, and was not insured.
Careless use of matches is supposed t i be the
cause. Loss about §800.

It is stated tlmt there are four Mormon So

There are others in Rhode Island and i onnec

Bovlnrs In Fatal Conflict.
The Portland Advertiser says that a curious
case occur!ed in Fiycburg, on Wednesday
last. Two cows came together on the hanks
of the beautiful Saco. They hooked ami

and broke her neck, and of course dragged

son* el Temperance Quarterly Meeting.
Tile Gardiner Home Journal says that at
tile quarterly session of the Grand Division of
the Sons of Temperance held in Bangor last
week, there was a good attendance and a good
spirit manifested. The members were well
satisfied witli the nomination of Mr Pcrltam.
i'lie report of the Grand Officers showed a
gain from last quarter and a healthy state of
the Order. Initiations tor the quarter had
averaged nine to each division.
The Chronicle says the new depot grounds
at Farmington village were visited in a mys
terious manner hu t Thursday night which our
readers will remember was very dark. A
large amount of earth was removed, some es
timate it at fifty cariloads, and dug about a
foot below the grade—seven or eight feet in
depth. Mr. Clark's entire gang was employed
two or three hours next morning carting away
the pile thrown tip. Broken pieces of board,
which had the appearance of having been un
derground a long time, and parts of a skeleton
are reported to have been found. The point
of the excavation was formerly the cellar of
an old tavern, all traces of which have long
since passed away. Many are the conject
ures, but no one can offer a probable solution
of tliis curious proceeding.
Patrick Conroy was drowned while bathing
alone in t lie Presumpscot river, near the line
of the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad, in
Windham, Sunday last. Conroy came from
Massachusetts the day before to work on the
railroad, and it is supposed that he was acci
dentally drowned, as his clothes wfe found
on the hank. His body was recovered Mon
day afternoon at o o'clock and buried Tues
day at t'ne expense of the town.
It is understood that Gen. Thom of the IT.
S. Engineers, will presently have t* force ot
men blow out the obstructions in Hurl Gate,
between Bath and Boothbay, and so widen
tlie channel that the strength of the curren1
will he lessened and tin passage made more
secure. This will he done under the appro
priation of $10,000, made by 'l e last Con
gress. and the Times says it will lie nw< Iconic
improvement to that much traveled thorough
fare.
Seaman are advised that in compliance
with a recent act of Congress, and by order of
the Secretary of the Treasury, hereafter Hos
pital money will he collected at the rate of
10 cents per month, instead of 20 as hereto

The Ellsworth American says the people of
East Hass Harbor are building a large and
commodious school house, to cost *2,200. It
will be the largest and most stylish school
house on the Island. There will he a hall in

The Journal says Capt. Arthur Berry has
improved and repaired iiis wharf at Gardiner,
and dug out the channel sufficient to raise the

—of other companies, mate hive the a--tiraiice to
. claim more than an equ .Ltv w ith the Sing* r. even
I upon any special class oi w ork.
There are many sewing machines, now offered t<>
the public, that have their good point.-, and arc of
imii h as-i.-tance t" the housewife and the industri
ous seamstress. Parties pureha-ing n sewing ma
chine of sort. find the improvement on the old
fashioned *wa\ of sewing 1 »\ hand so great and
plea-big. that they are naturally, but erroneously,
led to believe that they have the l.e-t, until the -pell
is broken by the introduction of the Singer of lsTO
into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, uy toe in*
creased rapidity and ease w ith w hich it doe*, every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them t" a
po-itive. although it may be silent acknowledge
ment. of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of w ork that are easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either be « on tent to do
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
fice. their curvod-needled, frail-powered, uurelia
ble-tensioiied, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma
chine for a Singer Xnr Family Machine.
Various expedient- are resorted (<#• that the pub
lic eye may be turned from the >ingcr for the pur
pose* of introducing inferior machine.—viz. “The
Button-Ibde I lodge.” "The Over-Seaming.” “The
Double-Lock-Knot-Stitch.”‘‘Mastic Stitch,” Twist
ed Loop," self- Vdjil-tingTen-ions,”" High Finish
and Beautifully OVnrmeuted," "Slrught Needle,”
"Miteh-Aliko-ondmth-Sidt"Medals from Fairs,”
"Vertical Feed Bars’” "Noiseless Kunning," "Si
lent Feed,” and last and worst of all the low-priced
—"Family shuttle Machines.”
Manx* of the-e points are desirable, (and the
Singei excel!- all in each individual speciality) but
the greatest use made of these special points, is by
the retail agent w ho parades them before the inex
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important hearing’s of the case. While other inno
cent local agents ignorantlv represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie
tv of work, egual to the Singer, ami often do they,
thus unconsciously swindle customer* who cannot
affoid to squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthies* rattle-traps.
Parties in que.-t of a Sewing Machine should look
about them and 1 am what machine is most exten
sively u-e l in families, tailor shops, shoe factories,
ami earria.r factories. It in an acknowledged fact,
iret /y admitted by tdl newtng machine dealera, that
v it at' than two-thirdn of all the clothing worn iji thin
country by both atcrea, whether custom made or ready
made, in actually manufactured upon TflK >l.s<*KU
Skvving M u him:
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
ol lc t. -1 rouge-t. and most enterprising Com pan
ic- that has ever been engaged ill the business in
the world Throughout their immense manufac
tories, which are kept in constant operVioii "day
and night,” none hut highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is em
ployed’ turning out c edi part finished to that me
chanical • x letncss, that every one is a perfect du
plicate of tin* other in -ize, weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tcslbd,
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex
pense, while the many impractical humbugs that
are patented, are left to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser w hen I*»o late. Ill t In* has
"paid loo dear fur hir whistle ” It should be re
numbered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany lias never made a poor Machine—from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial m*ti* es, or expend funds in log-rolling”
at Fail s to gain im dais or premiums. •
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them—place them
in their Sales Booms, and leave tin* public to find
out their virtues in their own w ay. By this straight
forward course they are now manufacturing about
four hundred ppr day, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
