EvitokPxt: -Having business here

from w noted a quarter might
jite some interest for your readers, for

I Edmunds bill, which disfranchised
i nnlreimUt, has. signally failed in its
J.ntpnded effect, the Mormons haying,
b?wn the Gentilo element at the polls
- witiiout the double marrfed element of
iheir sect voting at all.',- Religious fa
"nitica and greedy politicians may say
i what they like about the horrors of
1 Mormonism, but in travelling through
i wt the Mormon ettlements a straoger

iJer civilizHion will be forcibly im

ilheMormoosare.as a general thing,

county produce consumed in this en
tiretwciion of country. Every settle
meui las ksi store, called "Cooperative
Ziuu." alTuf which establishment are
branches of the principal establish
menl in ibis city. At thete stores they
make il'. their 'purchases, and you can
imagine the revenue derived by the
chuich from this source alone. Yet
i thest stores sl I goods at a reasonable
j profit and do not attempt to presume
1 upon their corporate authority to

'squeeze iheir patrons.
The direct revenue of the Mormon
Church is derived from a system -- -of
Ufbiog irecioly sim-iltar to that of ; tin
i CiihokK, ami Episcopal' Churches of

Therein no doubt that Judge Black,
during his reun'.iou'as counsel for the
church, wauled oft many a heavy blow
'f ..from her. On whose shoulders his
mantle will reaceod no one as yet
knows, but the Mormon Church .will,
like the Catholic ot by -gone days, have
tie best counsellors hit money can
procure, for the, people are all house
rid farm twuer and well to do, and
the church is very rich.

now, with the reins of political power
in their hands, with a partisan ju
diciary, and frequently a jury system
the same, find it necessary in telf-de-
fense to brutally and cowardly shoot
dowu these poor, defenseless wretches.
Southern men residioz north are
aehamedjof it, and feel that the south
is never going to get out of her shell
of warUlate and prejudice. ' ' :
Well, the blood spilled at Danville
has done its work Not only has it
done what the bourbon originators of
the scheme intended, but it has done
frhat was furtherest from thetr inten
ipne. It has carried Virginia and
solidified the north. A 'solid south will
make a solid north! It is one of the
political compensation! fixed by the
war, and although1 the man be a north
ern democrat, if he owns a house or is
doing business, he is blow to work for
a party candidate whose national policy
may in all probability be shaped or in
fluenced by some of the gentlemen who
had a band in "redeeming; the Old Do
minion" with the blood of the poor
Danville negroes.- .
The committee of forty, selected I
presume especially on account of the
number of negroes they, each owned
before the war, may make re polls and
endeavor ,to whitewash it all-over, but
we who were born aud raised south
understand aj I that .and laugh at the
attenuated, translucent covering they
give it. The, idea of white men who
fought Uraut ten to one and held him
at bay, being afraid of a lot!, of poor
negroes; it is a libel on the courage of
every ex rob in Virginia, and they
laugh at in their sleeve. ,
You have no idea what an impres
sion this circumstance has made on the
northern mind particularly in thr
northwestern 'and northern states. I
paid particular attention to the In
diana country papers, and found that
whilst H e Republican press character
ized it in unmeasured terms, not one
Democratic sheet attempted a defense.
There is a spirit of manliness in Ibis
uopolished western character that
makes it a point of honor never to at
tack a man unless he is able to defend
himself, aud tluy would tcorn to shoot
wheu a man had no arms, or haying,
would not evince a disposition to use
them, and'th's Danville husiDess struck

Deab rosr: I will, now give you a

otoJwv-irTmself a new coat, he lives

with nis elbows out in winter The
abuse of power oy this pliant toil of
the Burgaw ring.is withouC a precedent
in the history of North Carolina . ot
very long since there waa a v jfcancy of
one macistrate in uoiumoia townsuip
and a petition was sent up; to this
Democratic autocrat signed by oyer 100
Democratic tax payers of the township
oravioc his majesty to appoint Hamon

pointment now .fills the place. We
next hear of another such vacancy in
Union township caused by the resigna
tion of Squire Filyaw.who recommen
ded a Mr. Carrol to fill his place, there
was also petitions-sent up asking Car
rol's appointment; but a superinten
dent of Public Instruction was to be
elected and Carrol could not be counted
certain for4 Shaw's son-in-law, and
therefore, Dr. Walter C. Murphy a
very pliadt tool of the ring, was on
the morning of the election appointed
to fill Filyaw's place. He hurriedly
qualified, went into the meeting and
elected Shaw's man, came out and han
ded in his resignation and Carroll was
appointed to fill the place; all of this
was done in less than two hours. If
any such abuse of power as this by a
Republican official can be named we
will reward "more anon." for the infor
mation. I have put myself to some
trouble to get the tabbing of Hale the
poor old blacksmith who fought through
the late warry in the confederate army,'
simply because he, happened to be born
in the state of Maine and now votes the
Republicau ticket. There happened to
be a little piece of vacant land near
Rocky Point which was claimed by a
poor unfortunate and pitiftfl fellow,
one Bryant Brown, a man of' some lit
tle means, Hale entered it and in due
time obtained a grant from the state,
having paid for -the same. Under this
grant he moved into a small log house
on the land and allowed another party.
to occupy auothe small house near
by. Ou the evening of the day he
moved in, a mob headed by one
William B. Hocut, went into the house
and in the absence of the .man (Hale)
and in tha absence ol any officer or
legal process, forcibly.put out the fami
ly with'.their bedding aud, furniture into
a cold drenching January rain. The
next moruing Hale iu his dilemma
went into the other house, but had not
been there but a few .hours before an
other mob was on the ground, headed
by one Thomas A. McLendon, a Demo
cratic justice of the Peace, who,
notwithstanding, he was warned not to
enter the premises rushed with his mob
np t the door where Hale was aland
iog whom he took1' yiolenily by the
collar and dragged him out of doors,
when he was set upon by the mob and
violently restrained Junti! McLendon a
limb of the law and dispenser of justice
could clsar the house of other members
of the family aud furniture and nail
up the doors. Some months after this,
the houses still being vacant, and log
house No. 1 being open, HaW moved
back in 10 il. When this same fellow,
McLendon, issued a writ against him
aud selected a sham jury most of whom
were not ciiizens of the township, all of
hich beiDs; done, poor old Haile was
caught up" by McLedon's officers and
taken to Brown's private residence for
trial without au hours notice. He was
not allowed time to get a wi AesS nor
to send for counsel, but in the presence
ot Browu'rt vindictive family was forced
into a drum head trial, convicted by
the sham jury and would have been
throwu out of the house" by- this third
mob, but for the timely arrival of iflur
iff A. C Ward, .vt our last court the
graud jury fouu i true, bills of indict
ment, gainsti McLeudou, Hocut and
oilier conspicuous; character of the
mobs, and McLendon was put on trial
for au assault and battery upon Hale
in collaring and dragging him out of
the sesond ihouie, the facts of which
were uroven lamjip, out mat smiu ig

be influenceil by there, charged the
jurjlthat they must be satisfied that
McLendon left his home intending to
assault Hile before they could convict.
Hence the jury acquitted him and was
taken in a bod to the nearest" bar
room and treated by McLendon for
theii valuable lervices to himself 'and
the coantry. This is a true picture of
Democratic justice in Tender co&otj,
all uoder lhe ioflueoce 'efj the Burgaw
