NOItTH CAROLIN A I CONGttESS
V We had noticed tiiat somej day-i ago
when Mr. Fryc of Maine, w,a ad dress

lion bill, and was
charging tht ibe

Steele, our member
VlOieuce ailU ill"
nterrupted by Col.
rom thei sixth di-
Irict,! with an interrogatory as to whether
his remarks applied to' North Carolina.
( hi Uiat occasion Mr. Frye did not seem
t'i be in possession
tory j of this state,
of the kulilux his-
aud rather evaded
Mr. S'.e-leV question. But on the IDih
M r. Steele himself addressed the House
i n a speech evidently prepartd wi th
care and devoted to the geiieral que-
lion oj ine auuuuv
l I . ' i" ll... l
of' the southern
. -I Inir.tirr'irv liofnr
the .country, and
in )ie especially to North Carolina.
To characterize Mr. Steele's eirrt
very mildly, it was to say me least in
..... .. .1 .1 1. I
the nature of au apojogy for the trans
actions which went on here from the
"years ' 1.8(58 to 1872. It could not be
considered an absolute and junquali fied
defense of kukluxism not quite a bold
yiudicatioii of it as a commendable:
.means of political procedure but
rather a, justification of it under the exf
v idtinrr ri rnimd.!inrpR. lie . intimatrd.
rudecd, in very Uroad language mat n
ever kukluxism was justifiable, that
was me particular occasion ior iu jir.
Steele's caution wa3 possibly superin
duced by, the fact that it is! not at press
ent quite as fashionable, even in the
Hoiith. to : compliment those masked
gentlemen in night gowu as it wa3 in
'the yeai 1S70. "' J
It is now pretty generally belieyed
by impartial minds that tho kuklux
. proceedings- in this state closely ap
nroached to the crime of treason.' It.
was an attempt to overturn aud break
down constitutional law by illegal
means. It was; au organized conspiracy
to defeat law. It was a successful con
spiracy, and did in face defeat the will
of the people by unlawful means. In
, the course of the infamous events of
that period, and in furtherance of the
'purposes of this trcasonabfe conspiracy,
murders and other crimes were com
mitted to au extent which finally
alarmed the public mind. More than
twelve ol the ablest Democrats of the
state finally, iu a public declaration to
Which their names wcroj signed, used
upon these proceedings ;the ttamp of
theirdisapprobation.' And the restrain
ing arm ot the. law was finally stretched
out to crush these uulawful proceedings
and punish these .terrible crimes.! -Few
men of either party desire to recall ihat
black and hideous period in southern
aflairj. ' 4 ' .'.; : I
It is therefore very much to be re
gretted that one ot our members of
Congrtsr should sp far forget the pro
prieties oflhe occasion as to present to
i I i i ' '" . f
' 1 1 n ir.i.iLn ilin . (irnuj.rnada version n
our politics! There was an opportunity
to present j the whole history of the
troubled yeas iuHhe south since the
war, and to have juttered words which
might have benefitted Our state in its
reputation;! among the other states and
in its material condition. We intend
! to take" the opportunity hereafter to
j present some fact3 to out readers which
will be bitter food for j reflection, and
i nearer historical accuracy than Col.
Steele's speech.
See ScolCs Eqorl o" Outrages iu
tho Southern States," pages 10, 20 and
21, for a ! full list oT outrages in this
state. It will be seen that, there were
killed at that time 1 inllockiDgbam, 6
in Orange, 3 in Jdnes,ri in Caswell, 1
in Catawba, -i in Alamance and 1 in
Lincoln. I j- ' . V
In the years lSGD-'Tl) and 71 the in
dividual instances of personal ouf rage
committed by the so called kuklux
numbered 132, besides! numerous other
outraires Vnot in the count. These arc
matters of record, and occurred in the
T . , n
counties ef Lincoln, Alamance, Cataw-
ba, Craven, Caswell, Chatham, Jones,
O r an ge, Rockingham, Rutherford,
Wake, Madison, Yancey, Cumberland,
Cleveland, Moore, Person, &c, &c,
&c. Qf these more than a dozen were
murders or assassinations,
Some of these outrages were of the
most atrocious and barbarous nature..
In the case of Colgrove, the sheriff of
Jones, he was shot with Keren bullets, j
fired by seven men concealed in am
bush, as be was riding along the public
highway in the day time toward the
town .where the courfewas'to bo held. 1
Outlaw, colored, was hung on the
night of the 2Gth of February, 1869, upon
ix tree near the court houee in the town
of Graham There were between 80
and 100 disguised iinen present. There
was m pretense of any charge against
him or agaiut his character.

newspaper published in this state,
eirpeeially those ol Democratic politics,
which does not employ term in speak

rt quire, qualification if used respecting
Cicvn, Pitt or Napoleon. ,
'We are led into those remarks by the
following squib of the Raleigh News..
Tn- habit of puffing anything and
everything from a poodle dog to a po
lititiu'i is the crying newspaper vice of
tht dav. Every speaker is not-eio

It is

How true the above ! Yet in the

God save the mark 1 recieves an
adulatory mention; and it has been
copied into more than one Democratic

These puffi remind one of what has

The Rev. Dr. Geo. Patterson, Rector
of St. John'a Parish, some weeks ago
tendered his resignation to the Vestry.
They unanimously refused to accept it,
and requested the Rev. Doctor to with
draw it, which he did not do. So, when
the new Y estry was elected on Easter
Monday, he again sent it is, but it met
wth th same result from the new
Vestry that it did from tU.ir predeces-
sors, and the Vestry appointed a
special commitiee to wait on Dr.
Patterson and request him to with
draw it, which he was finally pursuaded
to do, every member of the con
gregation joined in the petition asking
him to remain. There is no Minister

Raleigh, April 24th, 1871).
Editor of Post :
The all absorbing topic of conversa
tion at church, mill, street corners ana
market, this week, is the great revival
now progressing in our midst under the
auspices of two lady evaugalkts, Mrs.
Moon and Miss Painter. The religious
furore pervades all classes, and judging
from the crowds that fill to overflowing
the two ivhite Methodist Churches of
the city every evening is rapidly spread
ing, urowus unable to gain an entrance
are nightly disappointed, and many
repair to church at early candle light
inprder to' secure seats. No sutfh reli
gious excitement cas existed here for
years, ine novelty oi the case is alone
sufficient to draw, as woman preachers
are not a standing institution iq south
ern climes. Mrs. Moon, the leading
lady, is a matronly looking woman of
perhaps forty or more, with a pleasing
persuasive face, marked with, a some
what broad expansive forehead and
high cheek bones, indicative (as Sam
Watts, the phrenologist "would say) of a
penetrating intellect and strong foro
of chajracter. As an elocutionist she
faulty indulging in monotone to excess
r .
aud betraying the evident intent to im
press rather by her manner than by any
particular merit contained in her argu
ment. None however seem to doubt
the lady's sincerity, and all seem to
agree that her mission to our city "will
do proauctive oi good. lour corres
pondent ha3 not as yet heard Miss
Painter, but learn from thess who have
that she is a lady of superior mental
caiibre. She is about thirty or thirty?
five years of age, and is what may be
termed, a fair looking spinster. What
is especially creditable about the meet-
ings is tueir divestment - ol sectarian
character, being attended and partici
pated in by members of the Baptist,

P L. BRIDGERS & CO.
In glancing over last Sunday's paper we
regretted to notice the tacit acknowledg
ment from some of our brother grocers that
we had taken away part of their trade, and
making an appeal to theothers not to leave
them. We regret this exceedingly, especial
ly as they were so kind and considerate'
about our coming to grief, but supposo.as
wc have determined to do the .
LARGEST RETAIL GROCERY
BUSINESS
ever done in Wilniimrlon. wc will m tiiA
futuro have to keep from belug so tender
hearted, and CtJT DOWN-IMIKjES a little
more. -
BRIDGED OVER.
THE LITTLE JOKERS arc ;iul quite
gone.
A fine line of TOILET SOAPS rp.
ceiyed to-day, very low down, v
The OLD CAPE FEAR is flourishing

We have been over and smoked that
"Cigar of Peace." (a fine Havana it was),but
still think it would be bad policy to stop
furnishing the papers with our line literary
roancuons, as tney nave tne tendency to
;eep prices very low. which we. of course.
with allother good grocers, desire; only
want enougn leit to-pay lor clerk s hlrej
store rent and taxes.
NOT PURITANICAL.
Although opposed to -the driukimr of
Liquors, P. L. BUIDGKIW CO, are not
puritanical enough to refuse to sell them.
jas they think no FIR.ST CLASS UIIOCEKY
siUKi; can auora to be without: but tnev
promise the ladies that they would neyer
find out there was any on -the premises, as
it must be taken elsewhere to be urunk.

P. S. We feel highly nattered at tho no
tice taken of our advertisements, especially
by a fellow grocer, who was not surprised at
the absence of our usual Sunday morning
ad, on account of one of our friends having
gone to New York Saturday n'ght. -
