If jrioting abroad on the people's money and being the of&pring of a first class boor and brutal president entitle them to no tice above other more worthy children, then we do not envy them the publicity that has been given them. There are hundreds and thousands of children, helping their father on the farm or their mother in the kitchen through out the country, far more worthy of respect on account of real worth and genuine merit : and suchwe delight to honor. We have a contempt for snobs and precocious boors. It is not wealth t or position-that gives character or real worth The health of Chase is improving.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO MUZZLE THE PRESS. j Solicitor Cantwell and His Honor, Judge Russel, at Wilmington, ae making an effort to get the Grand Jury to find a true bill against Maj. J. A. Englehard and Cot" W. L, Sana- J . t uersoi tne Wilmington Journal, for libel. A bill was sent to the Grand Jury by Cantwell and returned not a true bill. Cantwell there fore asked that Judge Russell iue ao oider for toe Grand Jury to be brought Isto Court for ... ... - , . u . w voun ror !Pul relative to the law of libel Here ? ht the Solicitor asked the Court to charge, according to a report in the JounaI. ;t "lie asked that the Grand Jury msy be brought into v court and specially instructed by ilia jjonpr that to print and publish in a news paper an article calling a man a scoundrel, is sufficient; to constitute the offence of libel, even though no special damage may ennetothe party thna designated, and even if it be mani festly absurd and preposterous for .such desig nation to affect injuriously the character, re putation or standing of the party thus designa ted. He asked His Honor io charge the jury spe cially, that for the publisher of a newspaper to call any high digt.itary or judicial officer, for example, a Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States, a scoundrel, even though the idea that the Judge cou.'d thereby be injurious ly affected was preposterous and absurd, was a libel. He asked, further, that His Honor would charge the Jury specially, that it had no right to send for witnesses to rebut the testimony ot tered by the witnesses sent by the Solicitor." The Jury was finally brought in and charged according to order. The following is the text of the article, de clared by Ilia Honor to constitute a libel, asset forth in the bill of indictment that Solicitor Cantwell is seeking to have found by the Grand Jury against Major J. A. Englehard and Col. W. L. Saunders : THE DIFFERENCE. According to Radical ideas of rignt and wrong, and of justice, it is all right to turn North ern convicts out of the Penitentiary, although they are grown men and notorious thieves, found guilty by a jury after a fair trial, but it is all wrong to turn out young Southern boys, of ten der age who, by promise of mild treatment, were induced to plead guilty before a scoundrel like Judge Bond, without an r trial at all It is all right in Radical eyes to pardon the Pennsylvania thief, but it would be all wrong to parden the North Carolina Kn-Klux, so-called. ine grown man lerkes goes free. The boy Ramseur is in a felon's cell. Can North Carolinians reconcile it to their manhood or to llieir consciences to vote for Grant? IfGrant is beaten Radicalism will die ll lirant is re-elected Radicalism will live !" Now this whole proceeding speaks for itself. It is a villainous and cowardly attempt to throt tie the Wilmington Journal; but it will fail The reign of blackguards may have just begun but that ihey can succeed in muzzling the press of JSorth Carolina, is impossible. The people can no longer be intimidated, the press wil dely the thieves and scoundrels who rule, and expose their venality. We don't suppose En gienard and founders are much scarec. Thev are made of sterner stuff. The Charlotte "Democrat," speaking of the report that Caldwell intended to declare the Legislature just chosen to be illegal, and then appoint John Pool U. S. Senator, says : . If Gov. Caldwell attempts thewjuttage allud ed to heftould be hurled from office without i day's delay. If the members of the Conser yative party take the trouble they ought to do lo report to the Legislature the proof of radical fiuudsin the late election, instead yof John Pool Petti ntr h:wL- tn iks TT & C i: I n 1 R. Caldwell will get back to private life, r o- , o -v j . uciuic iur. l 04I i ne re-election of Grant should deter no man from doing his duty. If Grant is re-elect wt rtt wa r aa m -v 1 t . 1 T ... nuioiucuiwr oi me legislature. we would feel more disposed to vote to turn oui me present btate administration than if Mr. Greeley was elected. Grant and his hire lings have already done their best to derad Southern men. and we defy them to intimidate in the future. If the Southern people (the white men) will do their duty iu the future bv going to the polls and voting for honest and patriotict national men, the day is not far dis tant when they will control the U. S. Senate and drive out the miserable small-fry ioliiici clans who now control the Government." This is rather strong language for our usuallr cool coiiiemporary ; yet it has the right ring and the true sentiment The election of Grant should not deter or intimidate any body, and especially the State Legislature, but it should make men more re solute and determined to resist tyranny in whatever form it presents itself. If our Legis lature prove to be worth any thing in the way of taking care of the people's rights and in terests, the fact that Caldwell claims to be Gov ernor and Grant possibly le elected Presi dent will amount to very little. But ii .he next Legislature should prove to be as undecid ed as the last we think it would be better were it never to assemble. In 1870 the people of North Carolina de clared in thunder tones against tyrannical gov ernors, corrupt subservient judges, dishonest underlings, extravagant and oppressive taxes. If Ihe people's wishes had been carried out. not only Gov. Holden, but every Radical Judge, irom renrson down to greasySam Watts, and other officials, against whom there were well authenticated charges of tyranny, venality and ncompetency, would have been impeached and deposed. This is what the people exited, and they were both disappointed and chagrined at the utter failure of their representatives to realize and execute what had been so well map ped out for them. It was with some difficulty thaf some members were induced lo impeach lolden, and although Holden was a great cri minal and richly deserved all he received vet' ne was not more guilty than Pearson and other iadical lights who had forfeited all chum or i right to I official position by their monstrous' crimes. ; The timidity or stolid indifference of that Legislature to the proclaimed wbhesof .ie pjeople has been the great source of evil to our cause since. Not only the men who U.I committed great crimes were permitted to co uuwiopieu oi justice, out Tod Caldwell was allowed to bully and spit upon the Legisla ture with impunity. We have hope of the recently elected bodr. We think ka members are - for the most uart composed of men who will discharge the du ties iaeumbent upon them fearlessly and with out regard to consequences. We are persuad ed that there are no time-servers no ni;.. men among them. If this ia true, we shall have a good report to make to our readers of their action. We are decidedly in favor of the members of th e Legislature doing what the peoole eleet them to i do. If they can't do this, if they have bo power to redress the wrong of ih people; to protect them from on lawful arrest I a - irom oraciai outrage and insult, front burden some taxes and fraudulent puUSc debts, then the day of their usefulness baa passed, and it hroald be well for our people to take into con- siderauo the propriety of dispensing with Sublegislatures altogether, and prepare to surrender to tbe general government. If the Legislature has no authority and is unable to protect the people from injustice and oppress ion or to promote their prosperity as a State or a community, then, what are its uses ? Where is tie jnecossiiy of taxing the people to defray the expenses of it 1 We say there is none, But we say the Legislature, ha much power (or good, if its members .will bat exert is it. Good and true men will do their duty in the Legislative balk of the State, or any where they are sent, but the mere politician and the time server will not. We have 'been sorely cursed with these this long time, and they are respon sible for the triumphs of Radicalism. When the people resolve to select none but their best and truest men, peace will be restored to the country and prosperity and happiness to the people. Until they do so resolve, and proceed to act as well, the prevailing dishonesty among public functionaries, the usurpation, tyranny, fueial aod political disquiet, business stagnation, bitterness, mutual distrust and lawlessness gene rally, will continue to exist without abatement. If our form of government is not indeed a failure, (or if the people have not determined to surrender and endorse the damnable innovations of usurping radicalisms) the people yet have the power to set all things right, and they are really to blame for the wrongs they suffer, ao long as they neglect to exert themselves to bring about the desired change. TO THE PEOPLE OF N0BTU CAR OLINA. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 18, 1872. The National Democratic and the Lib eral Republican Committees have recent ly held consultations hi New York and surveyed the field of the Presidential elec tion, to take place in the United States on Tuesday, the fifth day of November. They ate hopeful and even confident of the success of our nominees in this great contest for peace and reconcilatioii, f-r a pure and honest administration of the government, and ihe preservation id the acred principles of civil liberty itself. lit this review ot the political situation, i hey do not hesitate to say that much, very much depends on the vole of North Carolina. Alladinit that wedid well and uoMyon the 1st August last; and buf for the frauds and gross violations of the election laws oMiis State in that struggle, our victory woirvi have been complete, instead of partial as it was. We appeal to you now, friends ofo-. publican freedom and good govirniuent, to be ready for I he final contest, so soon to be decided. Work earnestly and man fully for the right. Be vigilant and ac tive in defeitev oi the principles of our noble and insdriugcause of Constitutional lilwrty Be nol df-ceived by false r pre seutations, or sweivid from llif lii e ot du y by the threats of those who thusdis diace official authority or by any other mode ofintimidatiou or corruption, nor seduced by the blandishments of official patronage, so freeby off-red by these who live on public plunder and the taxas p.iid by an impoverichi-d and oppn ss d people. We urge you to vote a freemen, freely and independently, in ihe full, intelligent, and untianimt'lli d exercii'eof all the rights of an American citizen, lie sure lo attend your precinct, ia your own township, on Tuesday the 5lh of November, and see that your neighbors do likewise. Let the legistiatiou books be closely ex uniued previously, and proper challenges made to ail illegal voles. Challenge I.m. on tin day ox election, every attempt u! illegal voting. It is all important to our success that a fair election and a full vote of our Mentis, both I), morralic Consei vative ami Liberal Republican., be cast at the lal- lot box. TliN will secure a certain triumph in North Carolina, and nn our vote may depend the result of the Presi- lential election. We therefore', earnestly urge our friends to see In this in every township in the Slate. And we especially suggest that true and active men, some five or six in number, in evi ry neighbor- uooa oi every township, be appointed, at once, call and see, in person, every voter friendly to our cause and earnestly insist on his going to the election, and, if necessary assist in gettine him there, and assure him that il is a general understand ing among our fiiends that every man is to vote at I his election, ifeutitled to do so. This duty is urged upon our fiiends and expected to be done iu every town ship, of every county in North Carolina. Universally pumicd, as we expect it to be in every county, this course will ensure us a trloiious victory. And ;.. - . - irf - .

We felt sati.-fi-d that several respecta ble names which these iudividoil had attempted to prostitute o weaken ;he vote of Greeley in this Smir, wen- phtreri on the Straight-Out ticket without author ity.

After acknwlcdginr tbat I bid been a Grand Chief f the KJan, and waa well acquainted w ith lis designs, I ass n red him that it, and oar people generally, bad been greatly misrepresented, not only bj the Radical pre, and irresponsible cor respondents, bat also by tbe circelstioo of so-called "confess ion a" aod "testimony, Invented by perjured var abends, or ex- -torted front intimidated knaa. 1 emphatically dettk-d tbat tbe Klan was a conspiracy igaiost tbe Govern men t, or acainst the negr-, against any class of people, on account of their political opinions.

Nothing was said oi pardon during the interview except a volunteer offer on bis part to write to a certain Republican Judge in my favor; for which I thanked hira, but thought ii hardly worth while for bim lo be at that trouble, although I should be glad to have his own personal influence. Great ws my astonishment therefore, to bear of his letter to Grant, and 1 am forced to con clude that it is a part of a scheme to ex elude me from the benefits of amnesty Hence this statement of fact.
