TJte Late Jiadical State Convention hav ing so Fornurtlg Endorsed 11 olden and Wis Administration, tec Propose to give ' Uiis morning a BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE IIOL-DEX-KIRK WAR and the Events Happening During the Administration of William W. lloldcn, Late Governor of .North Carolina, in Order Hutl the People mag see tcJiat is in Store for them if the lladicuU again git into Poicer. J'Vom Ihe Wilmington Journrl, May 14. Governor Holden was in.inguaratrd as Governor under the present Constitution on the 4th of July, 1S68. In hi Inaa .gund AddrcM on that day lie dwelt at length upn the necessity and importance of-stre:iig!,henin the military arm o( i!ie Government. 0: the 17ih of A-usf, 1SGS in rcrjponse thereto, the Lejrirlr.ure, at a special session, passed a bill giving au thority o org.uiize and equip a 44 force to be known as thr detailed miiiiia of North Carolina." Under this Act Capt. Boshrr's command was raiser'. O i the J7ih of November, 1GG8, in his fust annual mes sage, the Governor announced that he had procured aiins-sud again called at tention to the Want of faciency in the militaiy department, at ihe. same time, however, declaring that peace and quiet prevailed. On the 19:h of February, 1S69, a bill was passed conferiing upon the Governor unlimited power to appoint and pay spies. From this date spies, in formers and eavesdroppers infested every community iu this .State. From this date the Gov ernor had absolute comma;. d of the Trea sury of the, State. How he used it the Auditor's books plainly show. Iu March, lbG9, the Governor Sent Capt. lioshcr and his vagabonds to occu py AlamaucR county. On the L'llh of March, 1SG9, a parly of men, consisting of Joseph W. Holden, Speaker of the House o! Representatives, various employes and officers, met Josiah Turner, Ji , at the depot in Raleigh, and in a body assaulted him. Mr. Turner's coolness and pisl.d saved his life. The parties were arres td and carried btf.re ihe Mayor. The Governor also appeared ot his own accord, avowed ids previous knowledge of the conspiracy to make the assault, and his endorsement of all that had been done. The Mayor ordered him to keep silent, which he utterly refused to do. He could not he silenced, nor was be panished for contempt of court. A few nights thereafter an attempt was made to assassinate Mr. Turner by shooting him through tb window, near which e sat writing. This time Mr. Tur n r's life was saved by the change of it direction caused by the passage of the ball through the glass and window slat. This was within a few. feet of th Court House and daring Court week, yet n -ither the Judge nor the jury took any ntice &f the occmrence. On the 10;h daj of April, 1SG0, the Legitl.iture passed an act making it a felony punishable with five and ten years imprisonment in the penitentiary to use a deadly weapon. When il is remember ed that a good hickory stick is a deadly weapwu in law, that the SheiifTs, olicuors and Judges were really to foice an ac quittal ot a party f ri Mid or iu a case of conviction, the Governor was rrady to pardon hin, the practical operation of this law will be readily seen. Mr. Turner's pistol was exercising a strong influence. On the l-J li April, I bC9, Two davs, there after, the Painting act, or the one tnakir.g the wearing a d: uise a felony was p.iss- id. This ac, as it was tirst sought to be passed, in efT et legalize d the shooting of n. in on the highway at pleasure. Iu June, lbG!), lliv- Governor sent Ciptaiu Jlo.-hcrs' ai.d othwr troops tu oc cupy Jones and Lci.eir counties. Of N ake county h.- ?!.( lock ic'ii'.arv pos session. On th" ti0.li of Octoberf"lSG9. by a formal dechuaiion, he threatened 'o declare Lenoir, Jones, Orange and Chat ham counties to he in a state of iusurrcc tf ion . lie it nmembered that this was three month-' bf P' the Shofner 1 !1. On the : 0 : 1 1 d O.-tol cr, ISoU, i.ian editoiial iu the Standard: written and ac knowledged bv himself, the Governor, referring to the last named proclamation dtclaid that under the Constitution and lawsof the State, he had the light to de clare a county be in a state of incurrectioii, and that the iff.ct theieot would be to susp'iid all civil law as it was suspended in 1SG-V On the IG'h of November, 1SG9, in his second annual message to the Legislature, he again renewed his demand lor more military power, complaining that under tin; present militia law he was comp.ira tivelv powerless to enfoice the laws. On '.he lGih of December, 1SG9, in a special message, he again called attention to the necessity for ameniuiMits to ihe mditia Jaw, and again asked tht the arm of the Kxe:utive might be strengthened. Ihe response to this appeal fr military power was the introduction into ihe Senate, on the same day, of the infamous Shofner lVill attempted to authorize him to declare a county be iu insurrection. Mr. ok, a carpet Senator from Johnson county, urged as a reason for the passage of the bill that persons accused conld be tried by drum-head courts-martial and shot. In the House of Itopresentut ives an amendment, in the very words of the Constitution, proposed to :he bill, de claring that ihe military should be mbor dinate to the civil power, was voted down. On th 29th of January, T870, the Shof ner bill wa passed. On the 7th of March IS70, the county of Alamance was de clared to be in a etate of insurrection, and Judge Tourgee refused to hold conrt. A detachment of United States troop was 8:nt there and remained in quiet until the last of April, wheu it wai ordered away, NO. and the conjbiy. thoagh in insarreetion, w.. wnhouta.oldier.

Ou the 13. h April, 170, Senator Ab bott made a sj tit advocating the same pleasure. : In the first week iu June, 1S70, there were held various 'councils of war in the Governor uffioout llaleigh It was then and there agreed that regular military force, lo be under tho contiol of the (invirnor, should be raised,; because neither the State militia nor the United States troops could be relied upon to accomplish the desired purpose. Then it was, also, ac cording to sworn testimony, tint Senator John Pool proposed to put into service a desperado natned 3IcLindsay, who would raise a company that 44 would give Gov. Holden no trouble for that if any of the men arrested by him uuderlook any re sistance, he would kill them or they would be lost and never be heard of again" and suggested that the Governor should fob low the example of Governor Clayton of Aikansas, 44 who had taken military pos session of the; disaffected counties and tried and executed large numbers of men by military court."' Immediately there after Wm J. Clarke was commissioned Colonel of the 1st liniment N. C. State Troops, a force raised without any warrant in law whatever, and proceeded to Wash ington City and procured an ouitit for his regiment. On the 11th Id June, 1S70, the G .v- ernor alarmed, pr affecting l-i be alum-d for his personal safety, authorized th in sertion of the following iu the Standiird, It's official orgao, and eiiit' d by his ton : " Wc are authorized by the Govinorof ihe State toaiiiHim.ec that the.-e outrage must come lo art end. 1I iut nds to have indemnity for ihe just and secuiitv f i t!ie future.
