Furthermore he was in conclave with the negroes the night of the election and some hours afterwards the dwelling of Mr. C.B Green,Chair man of the Democratic Executive Committee, was set fire to and an attempt thus made not only to de Scroy his property but to" burn his wife and children. It was believed and is still believed that Jordan either had something to do with this crime of arson or knew something about it He is charged with, and the charge is supported by positive testimony, that this disreputable fellow was guilty of the horrible crime of in cest with his own daughter.

And furthermore, we are of the opinion that as disreputable a fellow as this man Jordan is not wanted in any respectable community. North or South. He can find congeniality only among those of his own evil and troublesome kind. Here is the letter of "An Old Yank." Read it: Denver, Col., Nov. 14, LSS. Messrs Editors: I mail you. this, lay a copy of "The Denver Republi can" with article on the late trouble at Durham, which explain them- selves. 1 wish to state right here that I am not a Xorthem Donah fare, but an old soldier and a pronounced Re- publican, i know nothing of the merits of this case, but on srenernl principles I have taken upon myself tne liberty ot denying it in sa far as it states that Mr. Jordan was driven from the State of North Carolina on on account of his being a Northern man and a Republican. I was en gaged in the lumber business in Guilford county, N. C, from 1S83 to ib, and during that time my in terests required me to travel over a large part of the State, and I can honestly say that during that time I never received an unkind word or look On account of 1113 being a North ern man and an old soldier. I never attempted to disguise this fact, but spoke of it freely at Sll nroner times and places in a gentlemanly, considerate manner. It Mr. Jordan was invited to leave Durham in a rather uncerimonious way, I feel confident there was some good rea son for it. A true statement of the fads in the case, if published, will.

In this connection we will state, in 1 response to many inquiries received from frienrl in nrirkna ca!nna f luitvuo cLiiiuiio yj 1 I ------'. the Union, that the statement of and confidence Jordan that there was anv intention to murder him is false. The inten t ion was to make him leave town not because he was a Northern man and not because he was a Renubli can, but for the reason that he was a bad man, a sewer of seeds of dis cord, a disturl e f the pence of tt community, and because it was thought that his presence and his e incendiary language would lead to w now being held up as a martvr bv the traducers of the South. Let tb whelping bloody shirt organs whine to their heart's contents, but let all fair-minded and hon orable men everywhere tnlcp thf facts and pass upon the ouestinn na to whether or not the people of Dur- nam were right in peaceably elect ing this low and dangerous fellow and furnishing him transportation oeyonu the borders ol the State. As we have previously stated, get ting rid of Jordan had a salutary eflect and the high excitement that prevailed while he was here soon subsided. Democrats and Rennbli- cans, white men and black men, are glad that he is no longer here to stir up striie and to incite to deeds of 1 violence. liis going is regarded as a happy riddance, and no more of 1 . nis sort are wanted.
