Thia military force U not militia it doe

from the Staio ot Tennessee and many of
them are boy and men not subject to do

States to bare any military organixation

They, including Holden, are liable to be
aasd la aeivll' action at tb iastssce of
any body arrested, for treapass and false

Grand Juries of th Slate to present these
rsBtsra aad any oas injured may apply to a
Justice of tbe Peace tor a warrant or to a
Judge for a Bench warrsot, sod bsvs the
offender boned to appear at the proper
Court and aoawsr criminally. Ws sy tbi
is the law. We ksow what ws My, and if
O . Holden doubt it, let blot go aad em

wilt tell him that b and his army era li -able
a have above suggested.

Irresponsible they caa be beld to bail.
But Gov. Boldea ltCwortb something, and
hiaiderand adviser are worth something,
and tbey can be made to answer civilly and
crlmiaally.
There is another thing: Thi armed
Lmovement has cost ten of thoussnds of
OoHsr. Tb money has been drawn from
the Treasury, We are astonished that the
Treasurer bss recognized tbe Governor'
warrant, for it I said that Mr. Jenkloa ia
ordinarily cauttout about paying out
money. Now tbe Treasurer hsd bo right
to pay out thia money, there is bo law an-
tbortxiag It, and be U frtmallf ruptunbl
to tb Stat fiir every dollar be faa ao paid
out. He 1 worth something, it Is ssid, snd
his, boads-raen are worth something. We
know what w say, Tressursr, when we tell
yon tbat you are ao lialil.
W lupposs tbst th Governor snd
Treasurer anticipated that the Legislature
will pass aa act justifying this lawlsss ex
penditure ot money. Whether lb Legia

THINGS TO BE REISESIBERED
That iljiotbereofire'lsiered must
bat all who have changed' their rei
ew-lfrwuitLf Bttnnd wtrre. mttir
That in view of the" conflicting opinions
and decision a to tb extent ot the pres
ent registration of voters, th taft plan is
for every? Conservative to rcregiaier.
1 bat alt the candidates voted for on tbe
4 h Thursday in Aug ut mast be voted lor
on one ballot ens tup of ppr, which msy
be rimer printed or written.
- That at b est one T"Q'I, - eoereetle Coa
aervativ should be at each lecuoa precinct
in the State, charged with tbs important
duly ot keeping,, complete list ot the vote
polled, including tin name or eveiy vour.
Tbat the old registration boos oootua
tbe aamee ot tbousaada ot vntwa who have
left lb State; and that, aaleto they are
watched, ear enemies will bae. rpeatr"
employed to .vote every Radical aameton
the lists, whither tbe parties be dead or
alive Watch the stolle cartful ly, or we wilt
be bastes by traad.
Tbat all I bat Is necessary to aceomplish
tbe overthrow ol tbe Radical party lo North
Carolina, is to Waf eat ear est. To this
end a leal verting committee ot five, or
mure, should tie appointed fur every "Town
ship in the State. And this committee
should see that every Conservative name
ia on the reglatretion books, and that every
Conaervstiv vote i polled. .
i batUie akctioB ol our canuulate tor
Attorney General, and several of our candi
dates for Uoagres, depends trpon tbe poll.
tffort will result in a glorious triumph
rugm over r rong.
That "we most support the. regularly
nominated tickets of our party in all eases;
and that every iffjrt to encourage divia
Ions in our ranks is virtually an effort to
perpetuate Radical rule and corruption.
That George W. Kiik, the Te nneaaee
freebooter, and former toot ot Hrowulow,
is now the lool of W. W. Holden, and in
band ot guerrillas whose only object is
murder snd pillage.
Tbat the triumph of Radicalism in tbe
coming eiecuoB will prove the death knell
of civil liberty in North Carolina ; tbs
absolute ruin of our Stale cridit; . and the
itoppag of all work on our railroad and
other tmproveaeat. '
That it every Coaservativs set oa the
presumption tbst every other Conservative
will go to tbe polls, and that his Isilure to
vote cannot aflect the general result, the
Hal must necastarily give a uaanimoua
vote lor tb Radical ticket.

and that bia good intention have been
fully appreciated by Gea. Lee, ia clearly
shown by th following very modest letter
which Major Herbert ha just received from
the gallant old hero, and which be kindly
permit, as to give to tbe public through
