We publish on our M P ,hi wek ,be eonfasdons of number of (ha hast ohlaen of Alamsnor county, who ha.ve heretofore Moot ed to the organltatUm commonly known aa the Ku Klux Kiwi. Of the existence of such mi order w have long been con vincod. Nearly a year ago it h pretty thoroughly eipoeed, in an investigation hd before Judge Thomae, In New bern. The testimony was reported and publUb 0& at the time, and proved beyond ell question that the organisation aa subversive of all law II government and aU sound morality. From . the testimony thi n published it appeared that for the aroMuplwhment of llie political ends had in view tho organization was prejiaml to com rait the most horrid crimen, such at the murder of hated an.) influential political opionenls. It further appeared rhat the member of the organ itation known to it mcmberathen m new a the "Constitutional Union OnanT wcresworn io protect each other by such mean at perjury, either a witnesses or juror. By the dcatli of leading political opponent and by striking ter ror Into liuihl voter end frightening them away from the poll it wan Intended to carry elections and effect political revolution. The evidence which established the above fact wa given by men who had themaeWea been member of the organisation, and aome of mitted by it Au effort waa made .at the time by many of the newspaper to discredit their ev idence, aod with effect eo far as the public mind was coneern.d! But subsequent circumstance have been ueh aa to convince u that u wa aubrtantially true. Previou to that inventiga tion by Judge Thoma the counties of Lenoir, Jon.- apd .Onslow were the icene of many hor rid outrage, believed to have bean committed, in whole or in part, by the Ku Klnx Klan. Since the thorough exposure then made all sim ilar outrage in thoae countie have ceased, and 4bcy have become a peaceable and quiet aa any ui the 8:ate. In fact the working of the Klan for some time past seem to have been confined to portion of the State west of Raleigh, princi pally to the counties of Orange, Alamance, Cas avefi, Bockingliam and one orTwo" other. But the organization exists, a we have the wort abundant reason to bclitre, in a number pf comt tiea west of those just mentioned. Not onjy i there reason to believe that it exists in many comities wort of Caswell aud Alamance, but that it has, in some instances, stiaHl the action of county nominating conventions. We were some what surprised to hear cur excellent friend Bro. Yates, of the ( Larlotte IfcaHOcrot, aay that he aever Ufore believed lathe existence of the or ganization and that he think it is now confined to the counties of Caswell and Alamance. That the statements contained in the confe aiona which we publish tlii week are substan tially true we have no doubt The gentlemen who make them are all men of standing and character, who were induced to join the organi sation without fully understanding it objecta and the means of their accomplishment. W iK.t effort are beine made to discredit their statements. It is said that in becomin membTs of the organiaation they took aaolemn obligation never to reveal anything pertaining to it ur its workings, anil that in niakiug tn confessions they are acting in violation of aaid ;tmii that men who will violate aolem reasoning? will iiuoosc uiion few intellisei minds. When men find themselves involved in unlawful obligations to a faction which they can not perform without violating the far higher ob ligations which they owe totbeircoejrTnv their duty is plain. Their duty ia to violate the lea aer that they may perform the greater to vio late the unlawful that thev mav perform the lawful obligation. Let every honest and patr' otic man in the organization and we have no doubt there are many such in it take this view and sever his connection with it at once and forever. Thi course is demanded by the duty trliich such men owe to themselves, their God their country and the cause of true Conserve tisrn. il It is scarcely necessary for us to aay more of this organization. lis character will easily be set n hy every intelligent man who reads the confessions on our first page. Every member of it ia guilty of a conspiracy against the State government, to say the least of it, and liable to indictment in the courts and severe punishment for it. This every lawyer will tell you, whose opinion is worth auv thing. Not onlv ia he ' guilty of a conspiracy against the government, but he is guilty of a high crime against society. Surely no honest and patriotic man, who has or his prejudices, can hesitate a moment to with draw from it and use his influence to break it up and destroy it. Many more developenaent may. he expected in a abort time, which will reveal the organiza- . lion in all its horrors, if we may believe the gov ernment organ. We have always denounced these Klan, as all of our readerr well know. We commended the course ofthosc patriotic Dem ocrats, Dr. Pride Jones, of Orange, and ( 'apt. N. A. Ramsay, of Chatham, in their efforts to. assist the Governor to put them down by an appeal to their, reason and patriotism. We feci that we discharged our duty in relation to the ntatter, and that no responsibility for the present slate j of things rests upon our head. And if the Con servatives are defeated in the pending election it wilj be mainly owing to the existence and (deeds of this organization. peace-loving of them from the poll or into the rank of the Republican party in portions! nf the Slate. Hundred were also driven off by the nomination of satrssne ami violent men in some counties, and hy the Utter part Us n and prrwon. al rancouruf the orator and paper of lbs Conr seryaliva party. Many thousand of people be lieve that the vindictive party spirit of former days produced the late war, and that a like spirit will tend to produce another. A wa have already said no one can tell with any degree of certainly what the result of the election Is going to be. It is probable that J udge Hbipp will be ejected Attorney Ooneral and that the Conservatives wlR carry the Legislature by a vary email majority, but it ia unc. itain. And if wa fail to elect our candidate for Attorney General and carry the legislature, neat after the Ku Klnx, It will be the fault of the leaders who sneered at moderate and tolerant men and palliated the d.-cd of the Klan while profaaaing to denounce thorn. The result, whatever It may be, will probably bv the signal for the dissolution of the ec callcd Conservative party. It U quite probable that the moderate and tolerant Conservative will never again unlteln an election with the violent and intolerant men of the party. The moe'erate and tolerant portion of the party, if party it can be eaised, accept of the reconstruc tion olicy of Congress, as a final settlement of that question, and will not stsnd upon any other platform. A large portion of the party, it is well known, do not accept of such a platform, except aa a mere electioneering ruse. Divided by a auction of ss. tatpm-irncc It may WHr possible for idem to continue to act together longer, unless the ultras yield the issue between them and yield a proper portion of the leader ship to the Uhew-ts afcm. -" To "A Vote."

Tim contest between ttnxu seem to be one for men sad measures and not for principle. The great measure contended for by the clasa of Denocrs and Conservatives referred to above ia not tc overthrow, but a reform, of the present Constitu tion of the Slate at the proper time, after giving it a fair trial and giving the public mind suffi cient time to become fool and tranquil. Thous ands of Rc-ublicans are for this also. XV no thi will be satisfactory to ' A Voter." WAR IN 1MIK i About Crrumf hH Firmm-Tk la Wd A ttJM-KSSION. ANOTHER WRIT ISSUED. We learn from the Saleigh Sentinel that on Saturday last Chief Justice Pearson re-affirmed his decision that the writ of habetu corpus is not suspended, and issued another writ for the Cas well and Alanmnee prisoners. This last writ Jt to be served on Col. Kirk by the Marshal of the Supreme Court, if it has nut already been sew ed. The reason a-;gm-d by the Chief Jutice for issrling tltia second writ to Col. Kirk is that the li rst one was nut U ally served. What the result of this sccoqd writ will be wa cannot certainly tell, but we believe that the prisoners aHH be surrendered sooner or later. We have never believed, and do not now be lieve, that sny of them will ever ba tried and executed by a military commission. Such com mission would be Illegal and executions by it would be judicial murders. And we feel quite sure that Governor Holden will never take up on himself any such grave responsibility, even if fully convinced of the guilt of the prisoners- It islhis duty to have them tried by the civil conrts if he believes them guilty, and for that purf'tH! we feel sure he wrill finally surrend. r them.

As a friend of the Conservative cause in North Carolina, as a friend lo law and order, we desire that they should bv punished, for while pretend ing :.. be Conservatives their confession shows that thev have been dsngerous radicals, and have aided in bringing trouble and expense up as the Stale. We presume they wilt escape punishment by reason of their confession. We have never heretofore believed lht there was a regular organization of the sort, for wa did not believe that anv decent, sensible mnn Would join such flit unlawful combination. We hope every menilier of it will lie exposed, and it he has violated the law in any way let him be pun ish. .1, whether rich or poor, white or black.

Before this number of our paper reaches many ,,f.our readers the ejection will be over. What the result will be none can say with any degree of certainty, Four months ago it cannot be doubted that a very large majority of the peo ple of the State were prepared to vote for the Conservative or Opposition candidate. If the election could have taken place then there would have been a complete change in the political complexion of the Legislature. But from the day on which the Legislature adjourned until the present the strength of the Republican par ty has been constantly increasing. Of this there can be no doubt. For a long time its only in crease was a return to the fold of the diss fleet ed. More receutly it his made some gains from the forces of the opposition. For awhile the military movement seemed to swell the ranksof the Conservatives very rapidly, and would have added largely to their vote but for the Ku Klur I developments in Alamance.
