supposed to be seeking, or who
are even willing to accept Repub

Mr. Schttiek, has been spteading
his nets in the evilcst manner to
catch all the Radical votes be can.
Mr. S., knows his own powers.

for defenseless loyalists, who are,
in truth, . indebted to him; lor
their very lives,- and the only pay
ment they can jossibly make, or
he accept, is to gie him their
votes at the coming elect-on.
And while Mr. Schenck is thus
utilizing his position in the Ku

possibly .can," his noble organs are
piping their loudest notes of ex

up into a whjte beat of virtuous

And the Conventionists are so
full of holy horror against a class

who dare to protest against the

'Missiles wilj be perfectly diannless,

on lh.e Republican ticket, but as
he failed, he whirled back into,
the Conservative ranks and con
cluded to bide his time and find
his opportunity, -in the campaign
of '74. And so lie 'rej airs his
drooping head, restricks his

ns the Conservative candidate for
the Judgeship. What has he not
been ? What would he ht do
to secure this office? lie might
say with Hamlet that, he would
'drink up Esile or eat a crocodile''
to gain this object. He has trod

dist crd and dismav into the Con

solidity of our party, for it is irn

There is, however, -one class of

thoy, the jreese, alwavs scream
together. We can make no im
pression on them. But we feel
secure of those high-toned, large
minded men, whether Conserva

both sides of a question ; read the
upper and under side of JoveV

the best thing a Radical could do,
and the only thing he ought to
do politically, was to vote for a
Conservative. We urge the Re

help us to defeat the nominee of
the Lincolutoii Convention.
Col. Hoke, our candidate, is a
pure, honest man, an able lawyer,
with a strong, clears impartial
mind, and if elected will admin

impartiality and justice, while it
is belie ed that Mr. Schenck will,
if elected, use the powers of tbis
high office rto reward his friends
and punish his foes. Are you
willing .to trust 3'oursei ves in the
hands of such a man? Then
come out and demand the withx
drawal of the Independent Radi

to a party which has x done so
much for him. If he will not
sacrifice his jjersoiial desires in
order to secure what, the Radicals
think is their only safety, then
let them wash their hands of him,
and unite with us in electing a

Logan and Schenck i from the

didate, Col. H-oke. is deieated;
if the people of this District are
so unfortunate as to . have the
nominee of the Lincolntou Con
vention forced on them for their
next Judge, then we must have
our code of honor revised, the
ideas and principles which have
hitherto governed those dilapi
dated -"old bloods," for which the
editor of the Dem ocril express
such, a lofty disdain, must be
come obsolete under the new
regime. .- AIecklexbuho.
From the Charlotte Bulletin.
Mr. Editor:
Tlicu'e is one matterin Sch click's
polities-which is greatly over
looked, an I yet is very significant
as to the depth and genuineness
of his Conservatism. The' whole
Conservative party m 1370 and
1871 were exceedingly anxious 10
have a Convention called toamend
ml 'reconstruct;.' 1 he present Con
stitution 01 the State, so as to re
gain to the people and their rcp
resentatives some of the powers
which that .instrument deprives
them of.
To accomplish so desirable a
result, the Conservative Legisla
ture passed an act to submit to the
vote of the people the question of
'Convention" or clso Conven
tion," to be voted on in the next
August. The bill required the
Governor to make proclamation
of the fact in the newspapers of
'the State, simply advertisements
to inform toe people as to the ua
ture oft life election. N
The Govenor, to frnstrcte the
cherished hopes of the Conserva
tive partj, refused to comply with
the terms ot thelaw, substantially
vetoed it and informed the Legis
lature that he would no execute
that part of it which devolved on
him, as he believed it unconstitu
tional. This action of the Governor.ne
cessarily awakened the indigna
tion of the whole Conservative
part. Everywhere throughout
theState tlieir denunciatitns were
bitter and unmeasured, and the
most unqualified epithets were
heaped on the Governor for this
singular and unexpected course.
Such were the signs of the times
on t!t Conservative side of the
House.; On the other, or Radical,
however, the slies were reversed.
Ail was bright and rosy, and the
course of the Governor was re
ceived with hosannas of glory for
this brilliant ovei throw of the
Conservative hopes.
In this hour of universal wrath
there was one man, claiming to he
a Conservative, who, openly
abandoning his fellows and deser
tiug their cause, took sides witli
the enemy. One who became a
Bolter, and gave all his aid and
comfort to the enemy. Who
could be so deficient in manly virt
ue and part feeling at setih a
time ?- It certainly cannot be one
n ow high in party places; and
whose particular friends and sup
porters are now denouncing as
Bolters, those independent citi
zens who declare they cannot,
-they wilLndt vote for Schenck for
Judge,. -
Tes, Sch en eV was the Bolter in
87l. He the onlv one of all the
Conservative party that felt indi
vidually called upon to write to
Governor Caldwell and thank him
for the cause lie had pursued in
this Convention matter, andcom-
phmented Inm for his conduct.
Yes, Schenck did this at that very
time, and jhe Radicals said even
the Conservatives (?) praise the
Governor for his action. '
Why was, there such .-fawning,
such bowing of the knees to "the
Governor, in the hour, of his par
ty's dejection and the Governor's
triuiTLr? Why did he feel called
upon of all the,Gonseryative party,
thus to crouch 'at' that, time and
glorify his enemy? Oh ! the
crooked wavs of the ambition
politician. How he devises, plans
and schemes for the future., vVas
this action a bid for future favor?
Was it to secure Logan's old shoes
from the Governor, if by impeach
ment or otherwise those shoes
should be pulled of by the Con
servative party ? Such Haltering
attentiouScheuck thought could
do noharm to his future pros
pects, and ho had not the slightest
idea that the writing of the letter
would be made public and be
would therefore- have a decided
and unknown advantage ovcivali
competitors. Schenck should re
quest the Governor to publish
that letter, so. that all may. see
what else is in it. It will not do
to deny that he overwrote it, it is
too well known. He mav affirm,
however, tliat he had lio tirecasts
in his eye when he Wrote it; that
it was only such a perfect overflow
of gratitude and thanksgiving
that he could not repress the throes
of his heart towards the Governor
for his grjat and all important
and glorious act of refusing to
publish an act passed tby a Con
servative Lcgsilatu re.
To solve the riddle of such un
usual action of Schenck, other
facts occurring about that time
should be recollected. .Judge
Settle, of the Supreme doart
bench; bad received a nominition
by President Grant as 'Minister
to Peru. His seat would be va
cant and have to be filled by Gov
ernor Caldwell. Then it was that
D. Schenck got up a memorial to
Governor Caldwell, signed by
himself and others, to appoint
Col. Bynum to the Supreme Court
in Settle's place. Here then we
have Schenck turning his , back
on the Conservative nartv, wri
ting to and congratulating a Rad
i cal Governor for his triumph
over the Conservative party- then
a Conservative recommending a
Radical for the Supreme Court
bench, . '
What a consistent Conserva
tive does this show him to be.
The Govenior did not bite at
Schencks bate. Instead of B3
num, he appointed Boyd en. Had
he appointed Bynum, perhaps
there would have been anoiher
memorial to the Governor to
give to Schenck the old shoes of
Solicitor Bynum. But the w hole
scheme failed. Schenck is a good
Conservative when the ofiices are
in the gift of the Conservatives,
but he can5 play a Radical card if
the occasion requires it. .

Card.
The Southern Home of the 29th
inst, ms a statement that CoL Hoke
appeared for "'Aaron Biggerstaff, a
Radical,.upon whose testimony and
that of his daughter, Mrs. Morrill,
most of the Ku Klux were convict
ed." Without saying so, tho infer- ,
ence is intended to be left that Col.
Hoke appeared for Biggerstaff in ther
ku klux trials. This statement is
not correct in any particular. CoL
Hoke never did appear for Aaron
BiggirstafX in any such trial or for :
Mrs. NorriLh The case to; which.
Gen. Hill alludes, was tried : in the
State Court at Rutherford. The
facts are these : A raid had been
committed on Alvin Owens. Alexan
der Mclntyre, Amos Owens, and
others were arrested on a bench war
rant iKsnp.fl bv .Tiiflfe "LiOfran. ilichftfil
Hoke Justice, J. L. Carson, L. P.
Churchill, and Jno. F. Hoke appear
ed for the defendants six in num
ber. This preliminary investigation
lasted eio-ht dava. On this trial Bier
gerstaff was a witness Mrs. Norrjll
was not a witness or party. The re
siut .wiis uiud iuur 01 mo uuieuciuuu
and on. motion of defendants counsel,
Aaron Biggerstaff and four others
were, bound over to Court for a forci
ble trespass on the same night. This
is the only case in which Colonel
Hoke ever .appeared in which Aaron
Biggerstaff wa3 a witness or party.
Mr. Schenck in his testimony in
Washington City gives a synopsis of
this trial, and says that Colonel Hoke
appeared for Biggerstaff, and in this
states what was not the case. Gen
Hill bears an " honored name as
well as our Independent Candidate,"
He has won for himself an envied
reputation as a "soldier, a citizen
and one of the literati oi the land. ;
"An adventurer may tike risks, for
he has nothing to lose." But, Gen."
Hill cannot trine with tho inheritance
from his ancestors, for truth and .
honesty and fair dealing, and will
therefore, of course, make the proper
correction in his paper. , The Home
also states that the nominee "ap
peared for two hundred indicted ku
khix, at a time when many lawyeis
wnre afraid to evince anv avmnathv
- mi c y
for these persecuted men." Now it
is known that the lawyers in every
county j where there were indictments
against! the ku klux, did appear for
them without fear or restraint. It
is a fact that Col. Hoke went to Ral
eigh in behalf of Mr. Schenck, and
through his exertions and influence
induced 1 Mr. Phillips to agree to
enter a noZ pros in Schenck's case,
and he was discharged and this too,
when Mr. Schenck had been one of
the chiefs in the order. This did
riot look much like fear. But did
Mr. Schenck defend 200 ku Mux as
the Home states t Mr. Schenck eays
that he thought it best not to appear
in Raleigh when the trials were go
ing on. I f He only appeared at States
ville ; and it i3 well known that not
a man from Lincoln, Gaston, Cleave
land or Rutherford was ever tried
after the "fiast trials in Raleigh when
CI .1 1 A.-'. - ' L . .
jixr. ocnencjs: was not present ; . ou
that he has' never "defended" them.
What Mr. Schenck did was to submit
a large number of cases at Statesville, '
after he was discharged, on an agree
ment .with the Court that they should
be taxed no costsand they stand
now on the records of that Court aa
convicted folons, liable to be punish
ed at any time, and can hold no office
of trust or profit in this State. :
Other lawers who did not ubmit
for their clients got them off with
out such a penalty. Mr. Schenck
submitted for a number of his clients,
too, wbb were not even -present to
give tnen: consenz to 11. me evea
got a list of forty names in Cleare '
land for the same purpose, when
Plato Durham interfered and stop
ped such a proceeding. There was
no friendship in such a movement,
Better j had he nexer appar ed for
