The Sentinel is reviewing the former leg
islatkm of North Carolina and thinks uit
would reveal an amount of fraud, venality
and recklessness pcrfectlp unparalleled in
the history of any age or country." We
hav1 tiot : the slightest doubt :but what it
would, but dont think Bro. Kingsbury
ought to talk "riht out in Church" in this
manner. At the same time we recommend
to his favorable consideration the last ses
sion of the General Assembly. He will there
find legislation intended to benefit the peo
ple.., Tlie excitement regarding Cuba bids fair
to be the deathblow of Fenianism in Amer
ica. Those who fwere organizing to libe
rate Ireland have turned their attention to
Cuba as being nearer home and less strong
ly defended Perhaps this is better both
for Ireland and Cuba. Ireland is too far
distant, too much under the heel of the ty
rant, id be be liberated by erratic expedi
tions." Her liberation must result from
bcine great political convulsion. Cuba on
the contrary can be freed with but little
exertion or Joss of lite.
We publish to-day the proclamation of
thj Governor, with the law passed by the
Legislature at its recent sessh-n, making it a
felony for disguised persons to commit ac;s
of violence.
We regret that "this law was necessary.
Wctrustthe otacers of the law will be vigi
lant and active in bringing offenders to justice.-
As the Governor truly says " every
manV hotrse is his castle."' The humblest
of oar people must be protected. The acts
ot violence committed on colored people
muJj&Qse.. It must be known and felt
evatywlieTO in the State that the law is su
preme, and that the strong hand cannot pre
vail against the weak and defenceless.
Bro. Kingsbury thinks "a disgusted sup
porter of the Sentinel is the very man for
the Stakdard." That is the first trite
thing we have seen in the Sentinel. A man
who so far sees the error of his wavs as to be
disgiisted with treason, rebellion, and every j
thing mean is a hopeful case, and stands a ;
chance ot being redeemed from tiiat cess-pool
ot infamy ito which traitors are plunged.
To all such the Standard is willing to ex
tend the helping hand and place them on
the rock pf constitutional liberty. It will
guarantee. to them the Union which our
forefathers' left os, and will'aid them in re-
pelling the attacks made upon it by such
traitors and tories as choose the Sentinel for
an. organ.
We'fend in one of. the "literary slops" of
th Sentinel, headed "Legislative," four
grammatical errors. We are the more as
tonished at tbis as the "literary editor" of
thatjterary" sheet is quite fond of charging
errors upon others. Inspired with a virtu-,
ous inclination we have only to say to him
first' pick ont the timber from out thine own

Affairs in Europe.
Every thing from Europe seem9 to indicate
that a general ', war ta&fiot be long avertea.
This is the more true that, the governments
themselves seepi anxious for wary Theirold
axiom, " the balance of power must be pre
served," is the mainspring of the present
political movement on the continent. The
immense -and growing power of Prussia is
viewed with jealousy and distrust by the
other first class powers. 'The sjiort space of
time in which it was attained, astonished the
rest of Europe. Austria, humbled by a foe,
whose power she held too lightly, pants
for revenge. Taught wisdom by the quicK
following reverses of her late war, she is
quietly but thoroughly and energetically
preparing for another war in which her
armies shall bcon an equal footing with
those of her antagonist. The most improved
arms and munitions of war arc being tho
; roughly overhauled, and the efficiency of
: the various departments increased by
j every means that the most accomplish
jed officers can suggest. The different
j levies of troops are being so arranged
as to render them fit to be put into service
j in the shortest time. The political affaire of
! the governmentin charge of that able states
i man the Count Van Beust, arc all tending
! to that end. Counting on the aid of France
' and the disaffection of Bavaria and Saxony,
I Austria feels confident that in the coming
' struggle she will be able to humble the
! hau'htv i'russiaa and recraiu her lost pres
j tige. .
Prussia is also preparing for the struggle,
j which she regards as inevitable, and is
; strengthening herself by all the vast
j means at her disposal. Her buuhcehr has
j been so organized as to embrace every able
j bodied man subject to military duty, and
j cau be mobilized and brought into service
i witi! great rapidity. The improved needle
' sjuns are leing manufactured in great qnan-
Ilities. while the foundries are turning out
large numbers of breech-loading cannon,
j Already a large number of her troops have
! been mo!irfzed and planted in eehdua along
the railroads near the French frontier,
i The Austrian frontier is equally well guard
ed. France also feels that a w;:: is inevitable,
and is ffllly prepnred. Evi y thing that
military science can do to m ke a perfect
soldiery has been done, and at the present
time the French army is probably the finest
j ever organized. ' The army itself pants to
; measure its powers with the armies of. Prus
i sia, and is eager for war. The French nation,,
i war-like in its tastes, considers that theglory
of France has been dimmed by the recently
acquired grandeur ot Prussia, and wishes
war. Louis Napoleon feels that his fame has
been rivalled and his position endangered by
the crafty Bismarck, and, despite his pro
fessed desire for peaee,w ishes war. Thorough
: ly acquainted with the character of the vo!a
tile nation he rules, he knows that a success-
' lul war, an additional renown given to the
name of France, would do more to perpetu-
ate his power, now somewhat shaken, than
, anything else that could !e done. There
fore he desires war. France and Austria are
allied against Prussia.
England, though apparently taking no
pan in the ccniiacntal complications, is
sti'J. secretly at work. Her agents are every
where, and the oU maxim that English gold
1? morv power?:-: than French diplomacy,
miy araia prove true. The attitude taken
by Belgium on the railroad question, in
; which Hie acted so defiantly towards Franco,
proves that she relies on English .support:
England has too many interests, and is too
clost-Iy connected with continental matters
; to escape being obliged to take one side cr
! the other, and that side will be the side of
' Prussia.
Russia giv no.hint as to her partizanship,
; but is seemingly indifferent to the mutter
iags of the war cloud. But within her terri
: tories far into the depths of Asia her for
I ces are being put on a war footing, and in
i readiness for immediate action. Her future
' movements can only be judged from her past
aspirations. Long desirous of becoming one
t!,e grtat naval powers, she wants sea-coast,
Th3 end she has heretofore been prevented
' from attaining ly the combined exertions of
t the different powers, especially of England
j and France. Russia now sees her opportu-
nity, and is preparing to secure her long
cherished aims. No sooner will the tocsin
ot war have been sounded, and the nations
engaged in strife, than Russia will pour her
legions southward, and the sick man of
Turkey, no longer protected by his former
allies, will expire beneath the paw of the
Russian bear. Russia will be unembarrassed
in this movement, as those nations whose
interest would be opposed to this wiping out
of Turkey will have too much to do to take
care of themselves to be able to oppose her.
Once in possession of the Turkish territory
she will never relinquish it.
.
Spain has too much to do at home to
meddle with other nations. With one hand
occupied in quelling internal dissensions at
home, and the other in endeavoring to crush
rebellious Cuba, she has as much as she
can attend to.
The results of this war cannot but be
most damaging to European prosperity.
Its financial interests will be ruined and its
commerce destroyed. America will be the
only gainer by this, general war. Our com
merce, which was driven to Europe by our
own war, will be restored fourfold to us by.
the wars of Europe. Our bonds and stocks
will rise as those ot other nations decline,
and our monetary difficulties he ended.
Our commerce restored, and our finances in
good condition, our lost prosperity will re
turn, and America again be the most favored
nation of the earth.

Pnblic Opinion mast Enforce Law.
The murders and outrages committed by
i&ie bloody, miscreant whoj call , themselves
the Ku Klax have become alarmingly fre
queni in this State, j The houses of 'Union
men. have been broken into in the dead of
night and themselves, and sometimes their
families, murdered in cold blood. Union
men have leen driven from their homes be
cause they dared to vote for tho right.
Hundreds of citizens have been prevented
from voting at all by tho threats of theso
midnight murderers. Their atrocities were
carried so far as to render legislation neces
sary and a bill passed the Legislature mak
ing the act of going disguised a felony. The
act and the proclamation of the Governor
in relation thereto, will be found in another
column. It is worthy of the high moral
qualities of Gov. Holden nud evinces his
regard for the supremacy of the law.. But
there.are times when the law is powerless
to redress injuries. In communities which
are controlled by evil men the guilty' are
often shielded from punishment. Then the "
law becomes powerless for punishment, the
innocent suffer and the guilty escape. In
such cases the good must not be left to the
mercy of the bad. They must protect them
selves, for in so doing they protect the good
of the State. The villain who enters a
man's house to steal away his property
cau be shot and the act is sanctioned by
the law. How much more, then, should
the life of that man be forfeited who in the
dead of night attempts to rob another of
his life! If the law is too weak to protect
those who abide by its rules, they will pio
tect themselves. In such cases the Id
Mosaic law ot -" an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth " will again become the
law of the land. We have ever been op
posed to Lynch law and are sostiil. The law
and public opinion should be sufficient to
clack and subdue individual or organized
crime. But when the men whose social
influence should prevent crime, sympathize
with it, and foster it by their commendations,
when the law is rendered by them power
less to punish the guilty then the good
6uouhl protect themselves by every means
in their power, for "self preservation is the
first law of nature.
The consequences of such a state of socie
ty are too horrible to contemplate. Let
every man, whatever may be his political
opinions, perform the first duty of ever good
citizen support the laws of his country.
Let all attempts at terrorism or murder be
met with the indignation of every man.
Let tiiose men, who may be so situated as
to wield influence, use it for the maintenance
ot peace and good order. Then will they
have done their duty as citizens, as men and
as Christians.
Onr Pledges Fulfilled.
The Democratic journals duriug the Pres
idential campaign were filled with warnings
to the colored men that their claims would
be ignored after the success of the Repub
lican party. The colored men did not be
lieve these statements but put faith in their
party anil the men who bad freed them
from a slavery worse than death. They
stood true to the best interests of their
country, true to their race, true to their
friends, true to their pledges to support'the
Union and Constitution, and cast their votes,,
with a few dishonorable exceptions, for the
Republican candidates. The Republicans
were triumphant and the friends of sedition
and anarchy were scattered like chaff before
the whirlwind. The American people pro
nounced for the Union and its- preservers
by the largest vote ever given in the United
States. Grant was inaugurated amid the
plaudits of the nation. The offices of trust
nud honor throughout the land were in the
hands of unworthy, dishonest or incom
petent men. They were removed and their
places are now iiiieu try men wno nave
proved their fidelity to the government by
their ac ts. The predictions of the copper
heads have not been fulfilled. The colored
men have been given their proportion of
the offices, many of them being positions
of great honor and emolument. The de-
famcrs of the Republican party are proven
liars. It has fulfilled its pledges to the let
ter, and recognizes no distinction of race,
color or birthplace. To it the American
citizen is an American citizen no matter
what may be his nativity or color. It asks
but one guarantee of those who seek to enter
its ranks fidelity to the Union left us by'
our 'forefathers and made lroly by their
blood. The same rebel sheets which pro
phesied the non-fulfilment of the promises
made to colored Republicans are now sneer
ing because they are kept. They have yet
to learn that the Republican loves patriots
as warmly as he hates traitors. He esteems
far higher an honest supporter of the Union
be he rich or poor, white or black, than the
proudest aristocrat of the land who is a
traitor to his country.
We know nothing, says the New York
Tribune, as to the details adopted by the
South Carolina Legislature for giving five
years' credit to actual settlers on her unoc
cupied lands, but the principle seems to us
eminently wise, and worthy of imitation by
other Southern States. Every indication of
a tendency to encourage at the South the
immigration of actual laborers who mean to
earn homesteads by their own toil is another
token of the better day dawning for that un-.
fortunate section. Hitherto they have been
too much disposed to discourage xiew comeis
who brought no capital save strong muscles,
and an honest determination to win land and
homes by work. If they have now found
out that these are the men they want, rather
than cotton speculators, politicians, or even
capitalists, then they are in a fair way to
get them.

was 639,393, and the total value was $28,

Nassau, N.P., papers, to the 31st ultimo,
state that the excitement throughout the

ted that a number of mariners from the
Spanish-fleet were ; sent ashore on Berry,
Island, -who searched through them for Cu
ban refugees, and were fired upon by the
Bahama. wreckers. ; The Nassau papers
claim that this is an act of war against Great

the only exception " being a nobody from

ish cousins, who have attached a rediculous
importance to the toadying admiration of
Reverdy Johnson, and toi his declaration of
our intense desire not to wound English sen
sibilities, will get some new and instructive
ideas from this action. Our complaint
against Great Britain does not sum up the
mere pecuniary value of a few ships burned
by pirates. Its rests against the whole poli
cy of that government during the war; a pol
icy which strengthened Rebellion,' which
protracted the ontest, which drove our car
rying trade from the seas, which inflicted
upon us incalculable loss of life and treas
ure, j And no adjudication, will be deemed
final or satisfactory by our people, which
does not'involyje an acknowledgment of the
wrong and injustice done to us by a procla
mation of neutrality which was really an al
liance with the Confederates, and a covert
atterftpt to bring about the destruction of
the American Republic.

that might have grown out of the unconclu-

this side of the water. We have faith that
he will prove equal to his responsibilities.

Big Head may be cured with very little
trouble. A horse with the big head becomes
stiff ail over, and the large muscles It'ading
from! the eye to the nostril become perfectly
rigid. Anoint those muscles well with the
oil of cedar and sear it in with a hot iron
three or four times, with an intermission of
six or seven days, but rub the oil on every
day.'; Take a piece of poke root, about as
large as a goose egg, put in six quarts of
water, boil down, to threp quarts; drench
the horse with one pint of it every other day
as long as it lats; fill the drenc hing bottle
with a pint of iresh water after the poke tea
has been put in it. This prescription has
cured horses when they were so very stiff
that they could scarcely step over a door-sill
six inches high.
A Receipt to Cuke Ringbones in
Horses, which iias been sold for Thirty

oil spike. Mix them all well together, and
once in two days anuoint the ringbone with
a spongetul ot this compound, and bathe it
well in with a hot iron,' or a pan of coals,
twelve or fifteen minutes, as hot as the horse
will bear it. Thus continue until the ring
bone is sufficiently eaten away ; aftei which
rub it over oc casionally with mutton tallow
until well. This cures in a few months.
