The endowment by the Demo- cratic party of North Carolina of the Ku Klux Klan, made in the Senate of Thursday last through the introduction of the Allen-Judi ciary -Alamance-Amnesty bill, was unqualified, thorough and complete, j It is nothing more nor less than u vu um, u,e muerauc t?,rty l G the KU K1UX i n i w-v.-k -. . . 1 1...

The Republicans of North Caro lina have declared their willingness to support certain amendments to tiie State Constitution ever since the proposition was made to call a Convention in 1870. And there are amendments they could and would support now, provided tnev were assured that there was no Demo cratic trick in the scheme and the amendments they would support could bo submitted separately, by themselves, and that the other pro positions should be stricken out entirely. But when it comes to classification, which is in itself confusion ; and the proposition is made to submit the xrholcbaleh ofamendments classified, why, then the Republicans can have nothing, whatever, to do with the affair, save to voteit down and kill it where it is. Certain Republican Senators and Representatives are reminded that their people desire some of these amendments, and that to the sup port of such they pledged them selves on the stump last Summer. This is all true, but then they were "fighting the Democracy and opposing what the people were nade to believe was the Democratic arty unconnected with and totally repudiating the Ku Klux Klan. Rut recent events disclose the fact that the Democratic party has een swallowed up by the Ku Klux, ami, that, that great republican nstituiion has been turned into the despotism of an ."Invisible Lm- ni re." When the jeople have hitherto discussed the Constitutional amend ments they have simply estimated their effect upon the State by the Democratic and Republican stand ards of iolitics, but now that they must view these amendments as constituting a proposition to per manently enthrone the "Empire Invisible" the people will take back much of their expressed pref erence for certain of these proposed amendments. As the Democrats or drevct-invisi-ties are still confidently cherishing the hope of securing judicial control of the State of North Carolina through this proposition to amend, a corresponding danger exists that they may so manipulathe Constitu tional amendments as to succeed in their design on the liberties, rights and protection of the people by striking down the judiciary, and erecting on the ruins of civil law and in place of the temple of justice a sort of modern temple of Mars, wherein the sword and the violence of the "Invisible Empire" shall be the law of the land and the legal power of the land. Startling events oi me past lew days develop the tact tnat tne ite publ leans of North Carolina have htood in no more imminent danger since the war than that which now threatens them from the direction of these Constitutional amend ments, and the menace contained in these proposed amendments are sufficient to awaken with alarm every Republican and poor man in North Carolina from Currituck to Cherokee. Fo R : 'I fa Democrat i c Legislatu re can seriously propose to stand in the way of the execution of the law on a set of cold-blooded, cruel, heartless villains, outlaws and MURDER ERS, what would a Judiciary cre ated by such a Legislature of Dem crats and Ku Klux not propose, attempt and carry out? Jlepublicans, be on your guard ! The Senator from Wake on tlie Senator from Guilford. - Senator Morehead of Guilford got in tho way of Senator Harris of Wake, during the discussion on the Ku Klux amnesty in the Senate on Thursday last, and came out with no more-head to his argument than with which he went in. Mr. Harris challenged any Sena tor to show wherein a member of the Ku Klux Klan hail ever been convicted in any State Court of North Carolina. Whereupon Sena tor Morehead did "rise t explain'' that he knew of three negro Ku Klux of his county who were con victed, and were now serving their 7 term in the Penitentiary. To this Senator Harris replied that the explanation but strength ened his iosition, and only the more, confirmed his opinion that the Ku Klux amnesty ought not to pass in that shape, since of all the Ku Kluxing in North Carolina the State Courts had only been able to apprehend and convict two or three colored men who had been induced through persuasion, intimidation or violence to join the Ku Klux Klan and participate in its outrages, and were oiriy convicted to shield some guilty white leader who had the position and influence to involve ignorant colored men, but was withal too cowardly and unprinci pled to stand the consequences of his Darticioation in crime. The Senator from Guilford, after J momVntT raSloir Iked a i though he "never said it." Carolina , It i unth-rsroot J-at the- Is illa tive invsthti;o!s into the a fairs ! flna.c-L H condition of thisRoad is about completed, and the Com mittee will probably report at an early day. Some of those most violently op posed to the sale of the Road under the late decree of , the Federal Court at Ashevilleare understood to have come to the conclusion that nothing iter c-an be don, and as the only hope of getting a liailroad through our State for yeari lies in the South em Security Railway Company, mucn of the optK)sition hitherto nanift against that Company and their acquisition of the Road has heen abandoned. It is now said bv Darties hitherto - f opposing the salcbf the Road that if a litigation and consequent delay of a year or twq is the result of present complications that the Wes tern North Caroliba Railroad will become impassable ; that it is even now in a dangerous condition from Statesville to.Salisbury. Persons competent to judge, say, in fact it is the assertion of a skilled engineer, mat one nunureq ana fiftv thousand dollars must immedi ately be spent on Me Road-bed and track; while the net annual earn ings of the Road are about one-fifth of this sum. 1 i Much has been said of the cost of this work to the State of North Car olina ; and the State's interest has been set down at six millions of of dollars. The State has no such interest in the Western North Car olina Railroad; first, because the Road does Lot begin to be worth that money ; and second, no such amount has been j invested therein by the State. j Mr. President Tate states in one of his Reports ttyitthe State's in vestment was " $2j452,509.97, being the cash proceeds ()f,North Carolina Bonds, which can 'certainly be com promised now as low as lifty cents in the dollar, the actual nay men t i by the State about one millionj Rut no matter what the Road has cost the State or Jr dividuals, it is only north what i;t kvill bring, and in its present inconi lete and worn- out condition it cJnnot be expected to bring much ;ih any market, either at public or private side. Five thousand dollars a mile may be considered a high' price for a worn-out Railroad, :with a terminus in the wild-wood, a limited busi ness, unsufficient to sustain it, and conilicting interests hedging it at the point of its (only connection with the Railroad system of the country. f : The rolling-stock is estimated to bo worth a hundred thousand dol lars in all, which, -with - the present value of the iron and road-bed will not aggregate a million of dollars ; and since this is so, and three mil lions are" required to complete, re pair and equip it, there is little doubt that the State can do nothing else than allow the Road to pass into other hands, and the sooner the better, provided, always, that there is no apparent trick or fraud on the part of those w ho ' propose to take the Road and complete it to the Tennessee line, j-- TIlc Democracy Openly Es pouses Kit Kluxism. A bill was introduced in the Sen ate branch of the" North Carolina Legislature on Thursday by Mr. Allen, of Duplin, the provisions of which extend amnesty to all per sons in this Suite; who have com mitted crimes of any grade what-! soever, whether" members of the Ku Klux; League Redstringorany other secret organization. This movement has not taken one alto gether bysurprisf. It is well known that the leading members of the Democratic party; feel under some obligation to screen from punish ment, if possible, the numerous members of the infamous Ku Klux Klan, who havp committed such hellish crimes t the instance of, and for the political advancement of these same ieaders. No other organizations or secret societies in North Carolina than the Invisible Empire, White! Brotherhood, Con stitutional Guard, all part and par cel of the Ku Klux, have commit ted crimes as art: organization, nor is there the lea ft. evidence to sup-, port the supposition that there has existed in this tate any other or ganization whise purpose was to accomplish perstonal or political ends by the commission oi crime. The attempts will doubtless be lis bill with the aid members, and in made to pass t of Republican order to ensnare; unsuspecting re publicans, if aily such there be, the societies of Leagues and Redstrings are included in the bill. ' When and where have orders of members of the Union League, or of the Red strings, rode through the country, covered with hideous disguises, and hung, whipped; or maimed peacea ble and inoffenlive citizens, simply because such citizens were of a dif ferent political opinion ? Who has asked for amnesty for Leaguers and Redstrings? 6body! Did Leag uers or RedstHngs hang Outlaw, drown Puryear, assassinate Ste 4 . . . phens, whip Ramsour, Caswell Holt and humls pothers who felt the j baiter, lasn ana kuiio ar, me nanus The AVcstern SortI: Railroad. f disgruised assassins in 180? and proof? On the other hand, all these crimes have been proven to have hi en committed by the Democratic j Ku Kax ftnd the Ru Klux are those for whom amnesty is sought, and the passage of this bill would have no - other effect than to snatch from the clutches of outraged law the Ku Klux Democrats who have committed murder in cold blood, and have preconcerted and executed upon their political oppo nents injuries too horrible to con template. We tell these Democratic advo catesofsuch amnesty that this whole proceeding Ls understood. The peo ple see and know the object in view. It is well known where this project originated and by whom its passage is urged. It is known that in a cer tain county in this State, where the Ku Klux criminals are numerous, collections have been taken from Democrats to pay the expenses of lobbying this bill through, and that prominent Democrats from this same county (not members of the Legislature) have been and are now in this city assisting in drafting this amnesty bill and lobbying lor its passage. . Let the friends of the Ku Klux go on in this matter, if they wish. No Republican will so far forget his duty as to lend his aid. The whole resDonsibilitv of turning loose upon eociVtv without, rmnishnient. these murderous Ku Klux shall rest w iunt, upuu me aauuiucB, friends the Democratic party. Another lauger. Under this head the Ashe vi He Pioneer states a proposition very calmly, and the subject is one well worthy the consideration of every one in any way interested. If the Pioneer had kept cool from the be ginning, and confined itself to ar guments and reason, facts and figures, instead of resorting to the abuse it has indulged, there is hardly a question that a much greater good would have resulted to all in the end. The Pioneer pertinently asks: " Suppose Mahone and the Southern 'Security Company compromise "their quarrel, and Mahone allows "them louse his road on reasonable " terms, what will they want with "the Western Carolina Road? " They would not have it as a gift, " upon condition that they should " expend, as they now propose to do, over $2,000,000 to comilete lit- (COMMUNICATED.) The Duty of the Hour. Allow on?, who desires to see the law enforced, and, through that means, order maintained in North Carolina, to make a suggestion through your columns. It is to the President of the Senate. There are certain " laics of the land" that are even superior in force to the Constitution '. of North Carolina, and in subordination to which the Constitution it being a mere contract, according to the doc- trine of publicists is made. These laws.are the fundamental and essen tial principles upon which all or ganic association or society is foun ded. Whatever, therefore, of this independent, necessary natural code is not positively embodied into-'the Constitution of the State, is neces sarily implied; and whatever in the Constitution conflicts with it, is itself unconstitutional. Principal among these rules of natural law, is the obligation to preserve the se curity of human life. This prin ciple, prohibits not only the en actment of any law which would authorize the wanton sacrifice of life, but also the passage of any act which would encourage it, or pro mise, indirectly even, exemption from punishment for such an offense. This will not be denied. Does not any bill which reason ably justifies the belief that murder, arson, rape, to say nothing of infe rior offenses, will be excused, if only the perpetrators be members of political organizations, promise im punity ? Does not such a bill make such membership a plea of not guilty, and such plea equivalent to a ver dict of not guilty I Does not the bill now pending in the Senate, and known as the Ku Klux Amnesty bill, authorize such a plea, aud justify the expectation of such a verdict? In fact, does it not, in a measure, license murder and any other crime, by the removal of the restraint which the fear of punishment im poses? If it do these things, which can not with reason be gainsayed, it is not only violative of the constitu tion of things, but of the Constitu tion of North Carolina. It is, there fore, a duty to withstand its passage into a law ; aud every supporter of tho law will be expected to do so. Should the Legislature be so incon siderate of their duty, or ignorant of their obligations as to pass it through both houses, then the good people of North Carolina call upon Governor Bkogden, as the last defense between them and this enormous and alarming exposure of their liberties, to stand as a "Stonewall" to refuse to ratify, by his signature, titi3 act to legalize murder! he will be sustained by his obligations to the Constitution ; he will be sus tained by the law; he will be sus tained by the people of North Car olina. Amicus Juri. WEEKLY ERA. THURSDAY, JAN. 30, 1873. Three Deaths from Consump tion. Dr. J.T. Leach, Miss Charity Utter, and Frank King, all living within live miies of the other, and all died of con sumption last week iu the lower part of this county. Frank was formerly a nurse at Insine(asylum, under Dr. Gris sora, and highly esteemed by the doctor as a faithful and intelligent employe. Broke His Leg. As Fiank Banks, one of the depot hands at Durham, was unloading a bar rel of whiskey from the freight car last Wednesday, the man who was helping him lift being the taller of the two, then too much weight oa Frank's side, I and as they went to place it on the plat- form Frank let his end drop and it fell striking his left leg near the ankle and breaking it. The white citizens of the place were very kind to him in his af fliction and have supplied him with everv com tort and necessar3' attendance. A Big Revenue Haul. Special assistant-assessor T. D. McAl- pine and deputy collector Peters hav- ing received information that a number of illicit distilleries were in operation in the counties of Lincoln and Gaston, on the 15th they went into said counties accompanied bv small detachments of TJ. S. troops, were gone five days, and found seven illicit distilleries running in flagrant violation of law. The cop per stills and fixtures were all in perfect order. And persons at each distillery engaged in making whiskey. They all were arrested and will be prosecuted The stills and fixtures were all com- pletely destroyed by said revenue offi- and thev also destroyed on the premises 130 hogsheads of mash or beer. On their way back to Charlotte they found a wagon and three Ivorses, return ing from, a market in South Carolina to a distillery in Liucolnton, Said wagon J contained two empty whiskey barrels with the stamps not erased as required by law, and were taken in charge wagon and all and turned over to Col lector Mott of the district. The stamps on these barrels had never been even cancelled. The distillery from which they came is supposed to be running in accordance, with the law, and is owned by Motzs at Lincolton. How these barrels could have passed inspection by the guager is a matter for investigation. Supervisor Perry declares that Messrs.

Major Bridgers sent up his surveyor there last Monday, and they are now surveying fron, chapel Hill so as to tap the North Carolina Central at Strayhorn's turn out, or University as it is called. This point is about six miles each from Hill sboro and Durham. The object of the road is to dive into the large iron mine recently bought from Weaver of Chapel Hill by Gen. It. F. Hoke. This iron mine Mr. Weaver gave one thousand dollars confederate money for during the war, and he recently sold it to Gen. Hoke for twenty-five hundred dollars. The northern company, who are to build this road, we understand sent a man on to, examine ihe mine to see if it would justify them in an outlay, and ho sent them word that he has already sunk a shaft and can vouch for five hundred thousand tons of rood iron. So the surveyor is going on in good earnest. Now let this road tap at either Hills boro or Durham, and don't let it stop there, but keep right on through Orange, and Caswell, and Person counties, and Halifax county (Va.,) and tap the Rich mond and Danville road at South Bos ton or News Ferry. This will finish up tho richest tobacco j sections in the State and with iron on the one wing, and an inexhaustible harvest of tobacco ind grain on the other, the State will 1 1 -4.

Let us see now how far this legislature can look beyond their noses. Stabbing Affray in Hillsboro. Great excitement; prevailed in Hills boro late Saturday Evening over a stabb ing affray that occurred in Reese's dram shop. Jesse Arche, an inaian mixed mulatto, and Buck Borland, a very clever countryman, got into some words about some switch ties that Arche had cut on Borland's land and hauled off. Arche called Borland a dam liar, and Borland let him have his fist, also bringing a pitch fork into re quisition, but whether before Arche had stabbed and cut( him with his big pocket knife, remains to be proven. The mulatto cut him in five different places, the most dangerous stabbing be low the shoulder' blade near the spine and probably into the hollow. Arche then walked the street Imaking towards tho river with the dpen knife in his pocket when he was met by town con stable Crabtree who told him he was his prisoner. Arche replied that he had done nothing to be arrested for, and no man should arrest him, at the same time drawing out j his open knife. But a pistol cocked in the hands of Crabtree caused that knife to drop, and Arche, for the time, was turned over to the custody of George Harden and others while Crabtree went for witnesses. Here the excitement1 began. Arche broke like a quarter horse and ran up the hotel street, Harden after him, shoot ing bang, bang, and the crowd pursu ing crying "catch him," " kill him," fcc, fce. He finally surrendered in the old Nash lot, where the cedars wave, and a Mr. Wayne Garrett, and a Mr. Gates were cavorting around trying to get a chance ai him to send him into kingdom com. Arche crying " Don't let 'em kill i:ic," r.nd the crowd catch ing and grabbing and wrestling, snort ing and kicking up the dirt around these two enraged men. Finally he was taken lefore Squiie Lynch who sent him to jail and his last remark as he entered the cell, was, " I can whip any dam rascal of you outside there."

But after awhile they came to a deep and rapid stream and Kentuck, finding his horse in the middle and about to be swept down the stream, touched him with the spur. Down he sat.
