Facts begin to m. themselve. toward the formation of an lnt'-ii opinion as to the political result In November.

Until tho daaUS convention at HpnwMlcM, Liber." was but a name without material party form, wit that essential organization which groups commui together for uniteti action.

For peafle conllilcnt not only of tho strength of t but confirm, d In tho belief of the aVurd w ncss of their neighbors, tho Grant men s.'otu to bo d a vast deal of work. To a spootator, tho conte?

The regular p; organi-atitms are exhausting every effort and einv t ? the utmost to preserve the flimsy pretense of .ur oh ty at least in number?. Rut from tho e.|uil iu,l t uii? ,,f strength in every part of tha .Suite, fro Congress to a school district, the evidence hobis that numbers aro on tho side of the Liberals, tbe boast on side of the Administration. Lut boasting now seem I do but little service, and, to the credit of the (It organs, it i? forming laai of a suple than heietofart tbe oonduct of tho campaign. LOGAN'S nUTAXI ABD PBBUC r?, MB There is a notable lack of figure?, put forwardnow at first, to prove that there is no "Greeleylsm" but tbe contrary, urgent exhortation to Stan tl by " loyi and Grant." Gens. Oglesby and I*ogan and along Us minor notables are countermarching through the HI? with the war-cries of old, startling the people and t tmually "discovering no defection." Gen. Logan, h j ever, doe. not work with the earnestuos. that insu I success. It was rather puzzling to the good man', c sMfuenU In hearing the General's < iithusiastir euloglt tltat at other timos and upon other occasion, a les. pie [ ii? picture of tbe treat and good Grant hud come 1 and strong from the samo lips. Gen. Logan i.? by means all thing? to all men, but time was, and that i far back, when he made no scruple In cxpoi-ing the wet nos? of our military Executive and stigmatized It such ronnd terms as none of Gen. Grunt's bitten enemies havo yet been found bold enongh to attorn] Indeed, it is said that the regular Stato Committee, h not estimated the General's services in behalf of hi. chl to be of the greatest possible benefit, and It claimed that there are those who. llkej the reviewer Artetnus Ward's " esq," would bo pleased to have hi advocate hi. chief in other place.. The General, in fa? i?, quite as trying in tho character of friend to tho A ministration, and fully as servioeablo to the Liberal* he could possibly l?e in the declared attitude of un a I ? rent, and there are timid frlonds of the 1'resldent w resent the Senator's intrusion Into the household groi is highly aaugerous. Tho General, with all hi. oi spoken and Impetuous way, la now, curiously ?tions llguriag as Orator Tuff, the two tones of his voice bei: Grant and anti-Grant; for that great man in publ against him In privat?'. Rut the General can assume discretion he ha. not ; for Instance, all the office?, at 1 suggestion?the available ones?have l?een filled 1 workers earnest for Grunt ; and it will not be for t lack of money, or its appliances, in this city at lea. that the regular vote is not held firmly for Grant. TnE ADMIX 1ST BATI UN'S WANT OP OBOAN8. The greatest drawback to tho Grant Interest Is t: lack of a numerous party press. In Chicago there Is b one morning paper, The Inter Ocean, which, from I birth, Is called on to fight a double battle for Grant at oxlstence, and, It must bo confessed, enters tho fray wi intrepidity. The evening papers are less successful ; lrioldera of publlo opinion, In that their identiflcath with office rather weakens their advocacy of Grar Perhaps the lnflneneo of these Journal. In -bis sing community may bo best Illustrated by tho results late gained in te.ting tho current sentiment of several lar; manufacturing and wholesale establishments owned ar controlled by promlueut eupporter? of Grant. In tl establishment of one of tho Farwells a vote gai a showing of 113 for Grant and cs for Gre ley, which fact, considering that Mr. Far?, is one of tho strongest and most active of Gen. Grant adherents, ?peaks aa loudly a. figures can for tbo wu tho tide turns. Similar results have boon gained i various other manufactories and industrial aataBU-l menu In this city, all indicating the powerl?'ssuess < even the most influential of Gen. Grant's friend, to ster the tide, where It would naturally seem controllable, at all. As a distinguished Senator said the other day Where the people read and think, Reform finds Its cor Itituents. Actual statistic, ao far gathered in tho citl. accessible to newspapers, sho? tho Liberal, ?ujierior i numbers, especially in Republican communities, liri ?peetlve of the I/euiocrat?, who are, of course, In th rank? of Reform. a Lip.uui. vKrroKT rnorrncHiED.

As an of siiuplo Justice to the pcoplo of this State, I wl? could roach every honest man In tho North, regard ?if party affiliations, and tell him what I know about Ku-Klux In North Carolina. This vory Hummer, sti gort arrlviii,; lu ltalolgh havo seriously Inquired tA 1 tens tuero whether It would fei safe to travel thro certain western an?! middle counties. Hafel Why th never has boon a time even when the Ku-Klux oxr ment wa. at it. bight, that a stranger could noi from Currltuck to Cherokee with less danger of mo tation than ho would encounter In going from tho I tery to Harlem Klver. The Ku-Klux was not lndigen to North Carolina, and with few exceptions preval h? re only in Its milder forms.

During my stay in No Carolina, I havo visited nearly every com vaefl Ku-Klux outrages were ever reported. I hi met and talked confidentially but freely with some the men who composed tho order; I have learned particulars of murders ami whippings from per.?, living near where IBB deeil? VOM committed, and I liev that I know something of the rise of the Ku-Kl Soincthlmr of tho character of Its members, and .or thing of its general object?. The Ku Klux assumed oharaof.T of a vigilance committee only In three i Maaaaf taaBtaaa, nisewhere, if it existed at ail, lodges were ?imply political clubs formed f"r the p poso of uniting the Conservativo voters nud bringi their full strength to the polls, or socictlos for n tusl protection in case of a general upri.?ingof tho I it.???. lalBaBBaea County, und In Alamanco and C well counties, in Judge Toiirgee's dl?tri.'t, an?l lit Clo?

That they were not ] litlcal in their character is apparent from examination of the vote of the County liithosove; elections since 196S, the vote of that year not belli? a f test of the strength of parties. In each of the last thi ? lection* the Conservative? have carrli'd tha county from 130 to ISO vot?'?. Now, a deperate set of men ni1? res??rt to force to secure tho votes of negroes and wh Republicans, If they ?lid not ha.o control of a county were In danger of being beat?n, but nover in a couii like Sampson, where they had a majority which th had m, ,1 anger of losing, and wo mult look further for explanation. rvt'SFS Of KU-KI.IX OITHAOBS. A'i examination of any good map of .North I'aroll will ihow that Sampson County has not only b? at.il.l.il by the railroad.?, but, unlike tbe adjoining cou ties ,?f Liail'-n and Cumberland, has n?) navigable riv running through it. It i?, therefore, one of the romn .?unities of the State, thnuirli surroumled bv othe win. h arc easily ac?c??!blo. Tlio character of its poD latlou I? al.-o ?liir.-rent from that of surrounding con ties. CiimlxTlaiiil was ori.inally settled by Hootclimo who were Joined, during tbe present ?"entury, by a inn lier of Yankee, from Connecticut. These people ha' always had a high appreciation of what Is cullod lilrcral education, anil almost every family with at pretensions to respe? lability has ?eut one or more ??>! to college, even though tbe strictest economy had to 1 araattaai at home In ord?:r to pay for It. Tho pc.iplo Cumberland County, beforo th<> construction ? railroads, came constantly Into contact with neop from other parts of tho State and from other State Km tto\ ill?: being at th-head of navigation, nearly ? of the produce of the western counties was sohl thero t Bhippoil to Wilmington. While these circumstance have, therefore, made tho surrounding people very ii toilig.nt and progressive, the majority of the Inhabitant of Sampson have remained in comparativ Ignorance, and have beeu distinguished fu th? ir strong prejudice?. These prejudices hav rather been oxcite?! than soothed sine the war by tin? course of the Federal Government. Th sending of colored troops among such a people was ver; unwise, although tho prudence of the officers who corn inanded them prevented much of the trouble that woul otherwise have occurred. The conduct of the Iiiti-rns Revenuo officers also tended to oxa?p.irat tbe people. The men they have employe to assist them a? deputy marshals, ?fcc, havo ofte been fellows of no chara? ter, and their treatment o respetable citizens has, in many instances, I have n, doubt, ?been outrageous. Nono of these things JutUf. any set of meu In taking tho law into their own hand and whipping a negro who might be guilty of any orim. but their existence, carefull-jconceelod In all AdminU tration report?, shows that, to some extent, those wh took part In the outrages did not d. *o from simplo lnnat depravity, thirst for blood, or a desire to abuso the negroe a? a race. Many of the whippings wero Inflicted withou auy preconcerted plan. A set of drunken fellows, golnj home from a corn-hu.klng or some other frolic, fllloi with bad wbliky, passing the cabin of a negro who wa accused of some misdemeanor, would tako htm Jon t an? whip hlui. From all I can learn, the number of men li Hampsou County engagod in these acts was compara tively small, aud uothlug of the klud has occurred then la two years. A MODBI. AnaiWtlTBATIOH j?doe. Judge Tourjtec's district, lying in tho center of the Sute and Including Alamanc?! aad Caawell Countlos. tbe ?cene of the Kirk Holden war, was tbe home of th? Ku-Klux In MR, Iris unnecessary for me to repeal what occurred in those counties. Thero il no doubt thai several men were murdered and a great many whipped, though the Ku Klux are charged with many acts of which I hallara the order to be Innocent. 1 have never, however, Beta the fact, connected with taw rise of Ku Kluxlsm In thi? region published, as I learned them wheu there. In Ala maneo County, I ruot a gcntlouian who, as coun.vi fur some of the Ku-Klux prisoners, knew more about the order than any one else I have seen who was not a mem Imt. He gave me s list of at least a doxen white persons who wre murdered and of a great number of barns and housei burned in that county before tho first Ku Klux outrage was) perpctrated. The guilty puraous were In many Instances disoov ered, tried, .id sentenced to pifutabment Tie v wero generally negroe? or low-down wbito Republicans. Judge T..urge?'. conduct at thi? lime wa. vory exasper? ating to 'he oitueni who looked to his . ourt fur protec? tion. I use the words of my Informant, who, speaking of the matter, exclaimed : "Why, Sir, if you had gone int.. hi? court when he wa? trying ?ome of these caae?, you would have thought that, instead *of be? l?gt a Judge, he had iteeo retained a. coun? sel tor the prtnonor. I have h?iar<l him make tho mo?t ??utra-eouily partisan charges to tho Jurl ??, ami have known him to abiolutoly adjnnru com I to make a iiAiitinat ?poeuti." *_>.t|you ??y uiou wero oouvlgted and .entoneed tn his court," r remarked; "If this vm so, what wa. the exense tar the Ku-Klux 1" "Ye., he couldn't help convicting a great many, though many morn eoeaped, and the authors of many outrage, were never discovered. Rut the thing did not stop there. Tour gee and Holdofl put their hoa<_? together, au I in about two weeks as raa.y hundreds of prisoners were pardoned out and sent home. The burnings and murders still con? tinued, and the people, seeing that they could hope for i.o pvafaaUaB frota the Court, took the taw Into their own hands. I know that there were abusos, for tlu??o are Inerltable where lynch law prevails. Tho Ku Klux doubtless did punish someflnuocent persons, and many crimes were committed in the name of tho Ku-Klux by depurate fellows, fur which tic: Ku Klux wero In no wav rosponslble. But, Sir, something had to be done. It Is not In tbo nature of tho Anglo-Saxon race to stand quietly by and see bis property destroyed and his friends murdered without seeking redress. Wa went through a terrible exp<\rionce here, and though I never J<?lne?l th. Klan, I could excuse tho?e who did." HOW TUB BSSBS OL'THAti-a COULD UAVB ?BE* ?TOI TED. " Did your people think that, tbe Union Leagues had anything to do with tho outragea of which you ?peak t" I asked. " 1 would not like to ..ir that the managers of the liCaguM.ct tu o negroes on, though some of our pi'ople believe so. It has seemed to be tho polioy of many of tho unprlmipled carpet baggers to prevent a kindly feol Ing between tbo negroes and their Lite masters. It Is only by constantly inciting the blacks against tho whites that the Grant men can hope to keep control of the negro voto, nud thus retain any power themselves. I'll tell you what I do believe, un.l that is that tbe white Administratlonlsra eoahl have preventeil the outrages of which wo complained, had they been so disposed. I lived In Wilmington a while sinco| tho war. In 18>S3, the colored men got so disorderly whenever they had a political parade that it was unsafo for white persons to go upon tho street?. They tired into houses, broke windows, and committed many BeatI excesses. Finally, some of the leading merchants sent to New York for 20? of tho most Improved muskets, and then dispatched a secret committee to several of tho most Influential white Grunt leaders. They wore In? formed what preparations had been made to stop these outrages, and told that, unless these things were ?topped, tiny would be tho first victims. ' But,' said these gentlemen, ' you don't suppose we ap? prove of anything of tho kind, ftnd you ought not to hold us responsible.' Tho only reply wa. that the white Grant loader? could prevent the rocur renco of such things, and must do It or suffer ?he conse? quences. Well, Sir, the noxt near, procession that turned out passed flaMj HflBMafa the streets, molesting no one. Ho I believe that the negroes ni Uli t havo been controlled in Alamance." Tin-la has n??t been in either Alamance or Caa woll County a singlo Ku-Klux for mire than two yean. Other couuue? in the samo Judicial ?iistrict suffered loss than those named, ami thou.h there were bran, lies of tho Ki Klux in all of them, I havo beon unable to hear of any unlaw? ful acts cominitte?l by them. I am BlBO a.s?.ure?l by tren tl.?men of both parties In several of tBMa counties that the Klan never Intimi,lat>Hl a negro or souK-t to Influ? ence bis vote except in a legitimate way. the BBB-JOBB Bff or the okdeb.

A mat many men who vere tn>m'?et-s of thu Klan tie,] after tbe passage of tho Ku-Klux law. and the t?eopl,t of the country have been led to belkrrt tn.it. ell of tama \??to trinity of bavin? partiolpatawl in raids, euch was not tho ciwe. Comparatively few men took any part In, or knew auythlng about the outrage? commit? ted, and yet It was only necessary, nadar the Ku-Klux law to prove that a man liai been a mini b.-r of a Klan, even though he had iolUrd long before aiiv \ ioleaM had been coniinl'tod or tbo ight oT, and had never attended a nssetlng aftei his Initiation, to i him of eoaspiraey, aad to send himl ?the r tentlary.
