'We regret to see a ! disposition mani 1 fested-Vy some of pur Conservative ex changip to find fault with the. action -of our,Legisiature, and to indulge in crit icism on the short-comings thereof, We do not undertake to say that that body 'did not commit v blunders. ,It would certainly be 'remarkable if errors ' had not been made. . But we must take into' consideration the difficulties by which the members' were environed at every point We must remember how they were hampered bjr the 'restrictions oi an odious Constitution, and bow at every turn; they lound obstacles and difficulties in their way, on account of previous Radical mismanagement, cor ruption and incompetency. . Tuey be gan their labors ot reform under cir cumstances ol the most discouraging and embarrassing nature. On the whole wCthink our Legisla ture did wonderfully welt, and deserve to, be commended for patriotism, hon esty and devotion to the public inter-. csta....That body instituted many re forms ; repealed many bad, and enacted several good laws ; abolished all unnec essary offices '"over which they had any power reduced largely the expenses of the State. Government, ajpd legislated generally for the welfare and ! prosperi ty of tire State. The annual expendi tures ' of the State . were diminished about one half, and wiould have been still farther reduced, no doubt, but for the prohibitions by the Radical Con stitution. : II. order to remedy the e vils in our organic law, 'a bill was -passed , to amend the Constitution- in several important particulars, and these amend ments will bo generally endorsed and ! approved of by the public, without dis tinction of party."" '''..-'( . To1 compare the 'present Legislature ; with its predecessor'; wool J be like h comparing light with darkness, purity I with corruption, virtue with: vice.

' l--. -.: ' Everything has been tlone that could be reasonably expected, to advance the . public good and lift the; burdens1 that are bearing down our people and crush- ; ing their energies and hopes. -4 " " Under these circumstances, we think it decidedly bat! policy in our Demo cratic friends to'sdek' to; find flaws in 'the official acta of our Representatives, who-, whatever may be their errors, were no doubt, a large majority of them at least,' actuated by motives of the highest patriotism and zeal for the pros "i perity of the State.; . Surelyite can find enough in the ; outrages ; and crimes ' of the Radicals against which to dirept: our attacks, without giving aid and comfort and gratification to our enemies.by indiscreet and suicidal attacks upon our friends. ORGANIZE t ORGANIZEI We call again on our Democratic and conservative inenas to organize in every county in' the State and prepare f for the imrjortant contest which urn to be decided in -August and November "-next. Although a large number of the . counties have field meetings and an pointed delegates to the State Conven tion at 'Greensboro on the 1st May, yet several have not yet held them.- We beg our friend in every 'county to at tend to this important matter, at once, that the great Convention may be fully -represented from every. portion of. the ' State, and present true reflex of pub j lie opinion. We ask them, too, at their !. meetings to attend also to the county and township organization. - Have Central Executive Committee, in every county and a township Executive Com mittee in every township ; and let these Committees be composed of' live, ac tive, intelligentand patriotic men, who will understand their duties and per form them. Let them be composed o men who take an interest in public af fairs, who wilt appreciate the responsi bility of their situation and shrink from the performance of.no duty. We have on our side a majority of the voters in this State. , All we need, is an honest' nd earnest effort to bring them to the pohs, and victory will certainly perch upon out banner. .Again, We My, .

Mu ring the day. by different members of the Repubiicanf-party, though the con fusion was so great at ope time it would have been, almost as easy a matter to have told who was silent as .to have named th various oiiators who were vociferating " Mr. Chjiirman !" Mr. Chairman ,t" "Be silent I'f Listen to what Mr." -U- has to say l"'; "Sit down 1'' " I wL I speak," &c., &c. Du ring this g&ene of confusion Cuffee Mayo was mantully Uut. vainly endeavoring to secure the recognition of the Chairman. Tlje .occasion of the disorder, we believe, was the attempt to pass a resolution recommending Gen. Willie D. Jones 'as .the second choice of the Republicans of Granville for I the nomination for Congress. The ppp&sii tion to tho : resolution was so formida ble and manifesied itself in a manner soboisterous that the resolution was withdrawn, whereupon ; peace reigned in.Warsaw, About this time the vcice of Cuffee .Mayo was heard to exclaim "Mr. Chairman. I have with emphasis been treated with great iniustice in not being allowed to speak, but. I have in vestigated my mind and found out that Wake has )ut in Col. Hargrove for Attorney G,en ;ral, that she may get the Congressman," &c, &c. This last remark w as greeted with applause and was intended as a hit at Gen. JoncSj I suppose. from what he said af terwarus. - io our surprise we did not of Mr: Lassiter. hear i the namq who is a "fire tried Republi can," : and Irom this county, once spoken ot for the! nomination for Con gress:; He'addrefsed the meeting, how ever, in a practical, straightforward sort of stylo, in whichthe used the following significant language. Mr. Lassiter said: "It'our conventions arc conducted fairly, there is a chance for victory, but on -the other handif theyare managed by men hired and pledged to particular aspi rants, if public opinion is to be manu facturcd by political emissaries and manipulators if independent Republi can voters are to bje called upon to cast a ticket containing the names of men whom they despise or of whom they know nothing ,aud ' who misrepresent' the views and preferences of the party, thenjse shall fail, dnd ought to fail to carrydhe election." We give Mr. Lassi tefs preeise language, which you per ceive is marked by a bold and inde pendent spirit. V Perhaps it would be simple justice to this meeting to stat that while Col, I. J. Young was so decidedly its favorite as the Republican candidate for Congress, and it ; was 'irreconcilably opposed to pledging itself for Gen. Jones as its sec ond choice, yet many-high encomiums ?were passed on the Republicanism of lien. Jones. Ot Maj.

We are pleased to see in the New York World of Monday; the letter of Alexandef , McRae, Esql, of Robeson county,. first published in the Wilming ton Journily giving a detailed and Veli-1 ab'e account of the career of the Low rey g'ang, with a general statement of their unprovoked murders and atroci-rtit-sl ; : Henderson, the correspondent of theNeW York Herald, continues to in dite his infimou"3 slanders against the pcolc of Robeson and to excuse and palijate the monstrous crimes of the Lowfeya In Saturday's Herald ;we find another - batch of his sensational tale, full of misrepresentations and slariders, as; Well as apologies for the outlaws.'. This fellow doubtless took an oath of fealty to the banditti and prom ised them he would publish their side of it lie' question upon his return to New York.. . f i . ; '. j We trust that the Northern papers who are disposed, to do the South jus ticeiwill publish Mr. McRae's letter, and thus aid in disabusing the( public mind of the false impressions made by Hen derson's mendacious letters. Henderson makes his statements altogether from the fLowrey standpoint, and his com ments indicate that he relied implicitly on the accounts given by i the outlaws of the wrongs they had sustained at the lands of the whites, i Mr. McRae shows conclusively that all die murders they have perpetrated, except that of Saunders, have been col d blooled and without cause or excuse, and! that their whole : career has beenf one of aggression, i hellish ma lignity and unparalleled; inhumanity and atrocity. j; ; r;. Henderson concludes bis last letter to. the Herald in the following language : As-a Northern man, but always with Southern sympathies, and half disposed to find some apology, for Ku-Kluxism in the lawless and mercenary acts of political uummers, i must say witn out a word of justification or apology for the state of things I found, that Lowreyism is thej revengeful, wicked, but certain outgrowth of Ku-Kluxism. The lawlesi shooting down of negroes, and the brutal treatment of them have made; them cry foi revenge, and have ;.'made;them outlaws. My visit . to the land of the Lowrey's has taught me not to excuse but to pity these men. It is well knownj and not denied by any one .who has any knowledge qf the Lowrey outrages, tlaat tho outlaws com- menced their depredations; and deeds of blood long before the term Ea Klux was evx-r heard of in the South or else where. The Lowrey gang was organ iz-. cd at a period anterior to the brganiza- tion of the Union Leagues in the South, and the latter society preceded ana gave rise to the formation of what is commonly ? known j as the " Ku Klux Klan."i- For Henderson to say that 2iOvifeyism is the certain outgrowth of Ku jKluxism" not only exhibits his prejudice and malice towards our people, but'slidws conclusively that his expedi tion was undotaken with the double purpose of slanderinct the South and bolstering up the cause of Radicalism in the North. ,1 DR.

The Doctor informed us, when on his wayj to Cumberland, that it was his purposej'to pursue the practice ot med icine in:that county, by hia " retirement What we meant from the public councils" had reference to his devoting himself -to his profession, as he told us it was hjs purpose toj do . "We thought thatpurpo3c involved his retirement from public life ; but wfe stated in the article' that Doctor 1 M. had lost, none of his ardor in the Conservative cause,, but would continue to strike Radical ism some ponderous blows. ' It wil be seen from the letter below, thnt the Doctor does not give up his citizenship in Carteret : I j . Blockers, N. C, . .1 X April 4th, 1S72. Messrs. Editors : . ,'r ". The Daily News of March the 29th, reached me on Tuesday night, April the' 2nd. In it, I find some allusions to myself, which I fear may lead to errone ous conclusions I thank yon for the kindly manner in which you alluded to me, and have no idea that you intended to convey a wrong.impression. Whatver errors; I may have com mitted as a Legislator, I have nothing to reproaca myself with in reference to the good; old county which I had the honor to represent. That I endeavored faithfully to)protect her interests in all thiegs, I am ure none will deny. It has been j my intention to issue an ad dress to the people of that county, but the cares and perplexities or life have pressed so heavily upon me ever since the adjournment of the Legislature, that I have not been able to command the. time to do so. I ' As to my future home, I know not at present, .where it may be. It is true, as you state, that I came here with a view to making this my home at some future day. My family are in Carteret;, and as long as they remain there, I shall claim citizenship in that (to me) dear old county, A home here, or else where, must depend upon contingencies, which time alone can develope. . It has been my wish to retire, to private life under certain circumstances-, but when' I consider the; past, and take a survey of the future I know that-I cannot remain silent, or be an indiffer ent spec t tor. I am not an office seeker, but when see the honor, the glory, thp prosperity; of niy beloved State involved in the ascendancy of this or that politi cal party, I shall ever" deem it a duty I owe my State, to lend whatever aid I can to the cause of Truth and Justice. : Very truly, yonra, 1 ; L.

TION. ; : ; ;. , ; The race of the several aspirants for the Radical nomination for Congress in this District gets " hotter and hotter." We published an account yesterday ol the Radical pow-waw at Oxford, when the Radicals of Granville pronounced for Col. L J. Young as their first choice for Congress, &nd refused to declare for Gen. Willie D. Jones for second choice, although the General was there in pro pria persona, and through bis friend Cuffee Mayo, had a resolution introdu ced to that effect. ; A storm ef indigna tion 'greeted the resolution, and Coffee, seeing the current too strong against him, withdrew his resolution and "went back V on the General, by proclaiming that he believed Wake had declared for Col. Hargrove for Attorney General, to cheat Granville out of the nomina tion for Congress. Cuffee Mayo, it is well known, is the. former negro Repre sentative from Granville in the Legis lature. His name will descend "to the archives of grabity," he having been indicted fori stealing a pistol from the store of James T. Hunt, Esq., of Ox ford. . . . Several days ago, : when the jWake meeting was held, and Gen. Jones re commended for Congress, the News predicted that Johnston would declare for Maj. W. A. Smith, Franklin for Madison Hawkins, Chatham for "John ny" McDonald, Granville for CoL L J. Young, and Nash for Cot Charles E. Sears leaving Orange unpledged. We learn that Oringe has since expressed a preference for Gen. 'Jones, i Col; Sears, of Nash, positively declines to allow his name to go before the Congressional .Convention, on the ground that there are already to many, aspirants in the field, "going around the , country buy ing up delegates, and packing the Con vention." He says, as long as he can't have a fair fight, he will make no fight 'at all. . He swears that Nash shall not go for a Fefleral office holder, and from this we infer he opposes both Col. Young and Gen. Jones. We think Nash will vote for Hawkins on the first ballot. ' . ; - Since our jjrediction, Franklin coun ty has declared for Hawkins, Granville for Young, and Chatham for Mc Donald, exactly as we foretold. John ston is no doubt strong for Smith, and will cordially and enthusiastically en dorse him, when the Radicals hold their county Convention. Gen. Jones i3 very sanguine, and ex pects to get the nomination on the sec ond ballot. He says Chatham will come to him, and also Nash after the first ballot. If so his nomination is certain. The General should not be over confi dent. The cold shoulder he 'received in Granville on the 9th ought to be a lesson to him not to trust; too implic itly to second-choice promises. There may be other Cuffee Mayos in the Dis trict. ' :-'-''' V 1 - SENATOR TRUMBULL ON THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. We print in another column a very important dispatch, which tells us" that Senator Trumbull has .written to a near friend , in Springfield, Illinois, in which he 'fully commits himself to the Liberal movement, and expresses his opinion that the nominee of the Cincin nati Convention will be the next Presi dent.' There isto be a mass meeting ot the Liberal Republicans in the Cooper In stitute, New York, on Friday next, and this will send the Fiery Cross through the country. Mr. Trumbull, who is a great man, undoubtedly Wd this in his in his "mind's eye" when he wrote the letter relerred to ; and, if our policy prevails, we have no doubt that Grant will be beaten. -This is what all honest men wish, and to this end wei desire tne democratic party of the country, North and South, to" stand in Opposi tion with a solid array. Let us avoid the blunders of a National Convention. Let-each State select its best men for Electors, , and without abatirig one jot or tittle ofur philosophyVrj principle, we can preserve our organization and restore the Government to aj constitu tional basis. If the Cincinnati Conven tion is half the success that Mr. Trum bull seems to anticipate it will be, the policy we have indicated must prevail. Let the Opposition Win is our watch word and motto I Norfolk Virginian: We, are in fafvor of keepingjthe organ ization of the Democratic party intact. We do hot, of course, know whether or not the Cincinnati Convention will per form its work in such a manner as will command bur approval. If the plat form and candidates put forth by the Liberal Republicans be such as can be endorsed by our party, . such a policy should , be inaugurated after the adjournment of the Cincinnati Conven tion as will secure prompt and univer sal co-operation by the Conservatives and Democrats. 'We think our respected cotemporary of the' Virginian a little premature in the remark : "Let us avoid the blunders of a National Convention." We endorse the general tone aad language of the article above quoted, but we should not commit ourselves against a National Convention of the Democratic party at this time, if at all. Let us adopt the " watch and wait policy" for the nonce, until we can see our way clearly. . , We have frequently expressed hopes that the Cincinnati Convention will so shape its proceeding as to weld together, in solid mass, every opponent of Radi calism in the whole country, to defeat the Philadelphia nominee. ;- At the same time the Democratic party must preserve its distinctive or ganization as a National party, and go into the fight under its own comman ders and with its own weapons. It will be a grand and magnificent spectacle to see the honest masses of the countiy, laying aside old party feelings and prejudices, and uniting in compact array against the, corruptionists and nsurpers, to drive them from power and place. For the purpose of snstaining Constitutionalism as aInst Centraliza tion, the Democratic party can afford, without any sacrifice of principle or consistency, to go into the national straggle as the allies of any organiza tion based upon opposition to the Grant Dtnastt. . GRANT'S UNFITNESS, In the- earlier and better days of the Republic, honesty, capacity and fidelity were indispensable prerequisites for success in those who aspired to posi tions of eminence. In those halcyon times, for the office holders of the Gov ernment to have urged the re-election or the re-nomination of a Chief Magis trate who was deficient in the qualifica tions above named, would have excited general censure and indignation, and brought contempt and scorn upon the conduct of snch officials. Men did not then worship blindly and ignominiously at the feet of office-holders, and at the shrine of party. They di4 Snot then ex hibit a spirit of callousness to the dic tates of principle; and patriotism. If the old spiritof independence of action, purity of motive, and love of country animated the masses of the people of the United States to-day, General Grant, with the powerful magnet of the public patronage at his command, would be unable to , concentrate a titbe of the number of office-holders and office seekers who will present themselves at the Philadelphia Conven tion clamorous . for his re-nomination. Morton, and Conkling, and Forney, et id omne genus, would long since have left. him to his fate, and there would be found but fe,w "so poor to do him rev erence." The office holders who now perambulate the country making bois terous speeches in his praise and urging him as their first choice for President, would have their voices drowned in shouts of honest indignation from men of every shade of political opinion. It is hot surprising, that,Schurz, TrumbuH, Greeley and. other great lights of Republicanism, should co operate in their efforts of hostility to President Grant's Administration. Does Grant possess either capacity, honesty, or faithfulness ?. Is he capable t When j has he ever exhibited a spark of statesmanship ? Can bis most devoted admirers claim for him any of the .qualities of the statesman ? Would the best paid Fed eral official in his service loaded with the perquisites of place, it may be, sur reptitiously obtained from the treasury, have the presumptuous assurance and effrontery to claim that President Grant has the civil capacity to guide the helm of State in times of commotion and political excitement, like the present, when . the highest executive talent is demanded? Ii President Grant honest ? Ask Mr. Smnner, one of the founders of the Re publican party, and now Senator of Re publican Massachusetts in the Senate of the United States. Mr. Sumner says boldly Grant is not honest. Ask Wendell Phillips, another Massachusetts Repub lican, a man who has the confidence of a large number of the ipeople of the North. Wendell Phillips publishes the following : ; "Recently while on a visit to the West in a vicinity , of Grant's former house, I asked a friend of mine, at whose house I was stopping, what the people there thought of the President, and he replied that' they nad a very poor opinion of him ; they did not think he was an honest man. My friend asked me to ride around within the neighbor hood and he would show me at least five grog shops, where the now Presi dent of the United States has yet whis key bills standing against him, the score not having been wiped out I" Is Grant faithful? Let his frequent absence from his duties at Washington . City, on 'pleasure trips, spending his time in frivolous amusements at Long Branch and other resorts of re creation, answer the question. While he was engaged last 1 summer m frivolity and gay sports, his myrmidons were arresting peaceable and respecta able citizens in the Southl and thrust ing them in dungeons at the point of the bayonet. Is he faithfuft Ask leading Republicans m every Northern State, who have become so thoroughly disgusted with his failure in .the dis charge of his weighty responsibilities, that they are determined to break loose from the party that sustains him, and to use every effort to defeat his election. Is he faithful ? Go to every Southern State, and see the evidences of his infi delity to a people bowed down by every species of distress and bumilia tion, and anxious to become good citi zens of a Government which 'crushes them down under the rigorous rule of the sword and the bayonet ! WHO WILL BE HIS SUCCESSOR f We allude elsewhere, to a rumor that Judge Pool will probably tender his resignation soon. So well authenticated is this report that his l successor is already talked of," and the general impression is that " Hoa."(?) (where did he get the Honorable t) John W. Albertson, of Perquimans, will be ap pointed by Gov. Caldwell, in Judge Pool's place. We understand that Albertson does not wish Judge Pool to sead in his resignation until after the Radical State Convention, which meets in this city on the 17th, for the reason that Albertson expects to be nominated for Attorney General, by the Radicals, and prefers that position to the Judge ship. ' -v-.: r" .: If that is his hope, we can inform him that he stands no chance whatever, for the nomination of Attorney General. Col. T. L. Hargrove is a long wsy ahead of all other competitors for that honor, and Albertson is M nowhre.n I Tarn Wilmington Journal says that shot and exploded shell, relics of the war, are yes iouna at jrort JDsner. . t -,y;; IS IT TRUE t I We publish below for what it. is worth, the Lowrey account of Gen. Gor man's operations in Robeson. ' It is taken from the letter of Henderson the slanderous correspondent of the New York Herald, and appeared in that pa per injts issue of the 6th, and would have been published sooner in our col umns, but the Herald containing it was misplaced. . . , - , We have no faith in the sensational fabrications of Henderson, and it is likely this account of uen. uorman s campaign is manufactured by the united wit and inventive faculties j of the Lowreys and- the correspondent of the Herald. . '"' ; Ii the concluding paragraphs be true, the loyalty if) of Che outlaws may 'have shielded them from invasions by United State troops : , j V ) GEKEBAI GORMAN'S STRATEGY. As related by Steve Lowery, the cam paign of Adjutant General Gorman was unique. In . the spring of 1871 the Governor of North Carolina .visited Lumberton to consult with the promi nent men of Robeson county as to the best means to rid the county of its pest. It was unanimously agreed by the citi zens that if the. Governor would send a democratic officer to head a body of determined men, the bandits would be killed or captured with little trouble. The Governor then directed this dem ocratic adjutant, appointed for the pur pose, to proceed with a company of United States troops, furnished tor the purpose, and a body of. one hundred and i fifty . militia (to be renewed or changed weekly), to the headquarters of the outlaws and kill or capture them. . V , ' . ' " ' y The military were stationed along the railroad by General Gorman, who, im mediately upon his arrival, made efforts to have an interview with the villians. After a month's exertions, during which time the soldiery were per fectlypassive, Gorman succeeded in meeting with Henry Berry and Steve Lowery.. fTo them; he made the extraordinary" an nouncement tht the GOVERNOR WAS THEIR FRIEND and intended them no harm ; that as he was a republican he had a strong desire to save the country the lives of such staunch fighting ' republicans as the Lowery gang ; of bandits, and that he authorized him, Gorman, to promise them a guard and aj SAFE CONDUCT OUT OF THE STATE, if' they . wduld give up their arms and leave the State with their families.; To this proposition the outlawleader replied that hie would readily accept the terms offered when he was assurred they were made in good faith, but he required a written offer from the Governor himself. Ttiia Hpnoral flnrman orrroo1 4-s fi-T ai- and, alter an absence ot a week j from the scene, of his military duties, returned to the outlaws with a paper bearing the. name of Governor Caldwell, and the ! . ..:' GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE. and which contained the offer before mentioned. The outlaws refused to accept the terms, declining to lay down their arms, but told General Gorman to say to the Governor they vould ' leave the State with their families, and de fend themselves on the journey, if he would withdraw the reward offered for their capture. General "Gorman depar ted with this message, and, after an absence of but two days, returned and sent a message to H, B. Lowrey, asking him, with his band, to meet him at Inman's Bridge the next morning at daylight, saying, further he (Gorman) would be alone. The officer failed to meet the robbers at thejplace appointed, for they ascertained long before the hour appointed for the meeting that Gorman's-full force of soldiery was AMBUSHES NEAR THE BRIDGE ;'. Gen. Gorman then sent another mes sage to the men he was- attempting to capture j to meet him near Buies' store on the railroad upon a Monday morn ing, and the night before planted his men along the road for half a mile, twd miles below the i rendezvous, - while he himself was seen at a safe distance from the scene of the expected engagement sweeping the road with a spy glass. . He never met .the outlaws again, greatly to their regret, for this second treachery fearfully enraged them. At his first interview with' them he asked them, "for a joke," to FIRK INTO HIS FORCE WITH FrNESHOT,' but not to hurt them, saying they would be driveni off, and the campaign would be ended. The outlaws declined, as they believed his object was to exag gerate the difficulties with which he was surrounded, that he might get a stronger force of United States troops and bring the general government to the assistance of the. State. ' THE OUTLAWS AND GENERAL GOVERN MENT. . ' - , These men , profess to have an unbounded respect for the United States authorit ies. They frequently said to me: "We will fight the State or county authorities as often as they are .sent against us ; but we must be hard pressed before we will engage with United States soldiers, for we have no war with them. ' Again they said : uWe will not in terefere with the railroad because it carries the mails for the government, although we know large sums of money are often to be found in the express car." "But," they would add, "the railroad must not be used against us, for we must take care of ourselves."

A Canadian lumberman tells, a rather dubious story of cannibalism among the Indians of the;Upper Ottawa, which is gfveri for what it is worth. He says that, owing to the enormous quantities of snow and the terribly severe weather, the Indians who inhabit the more re mote localities are literally forced at certain seasons to satisfy the! cravings of appetite by devouring one another. As sTn instance, he relates the proceed ings of one Indian family iii extreme circumstances. The Squaw so the story goes slew one ot her, children during the protracted . absence of her husband, and the family had partially devoured the child when the old In dian returned. He then joined with the rest in the horrible repast. When the food was gone, another child was sacrificed and eaten in like manner. The impracticable weather continuing, the Indian tomabaked the sqaw next, and he and his only remaining ' son, after this additional supply gave out, started kto , make I another attempt to reach a settlement. This failings, the. son killed the father, and proceeded to satisfy his appetite with his flesh. Ar riving at last at a settler's shanty he told his awful talc, which it is said could hardly be credited by the listeners, and which it may also be said will find little credit elsewhere until substantia ted by indubitable pioof.
