It is recently reported In London that Russia is making extensive pre parations for war,' and tho rumor is that, in consequence of an alliance be tween Germany and Austria to regu late the aflairs of the Continent, Rus sia has jcome to an understanding with France. At a recent election in Montana Ter ritory. Wm. IL Claggett, Republican, was elected delegate to Congress. This is a gain of twenty-five hundred over tho last election, when a Conservative was elected by eighteen hundred and nixty majority.

Much interest was manifested in the proposed under taking, und no one seemed disposed to turn the " cold shoulder," until the ap pearance of the Sentinel on tho morning of the 9th. That issue contained an article, with the caption which we place at the head of this article. We 'give the first and opening para graph of. the Sentinel leaving off the remainder of the article, because in it the names of the honored dead are un necessarily and inappropriately intro duced in this onslaught on the working men of the city of Raleigh. The first paragraph, then, will suffice us, and we copy as follows : ; . : Workixo Mkx'm Organ.

No man in this State could have been summoned to give evidence concernipg the Ku Klux, whose testimony would have been more generally believed than Mr. Durham.

I I ; - Mr. Durham says the Invisible Em pire "was organized, for protection negroes, and to counteract of the Radicals and the Loyal League. He thinks the order was meant for good purposes, and tliat it had a tendency to keep the negroes inj their places ; that the organization was not meant for political purposes.' j jrr.

Why was this assault not freedom and their rights as American citizens. For the purpose of putting the colored men upon their guard, and for the purpose of showing how' Judge Merrimon and his party have "gone back" on their "New Departure," we publish the following editorial article from the Statesville American : Carpkt-Bag Preachers and Teach ers. The colored people, generally, voted against Convention on Thursday, as it was expected they would, after the base lying to them by carpet-bag preachers, teachers and scalawag natives, that, if Convention carried, they would be re-enslaved, home steads taken away, and other falsehoods. It is surprising, too, after the exposure' of so much rascality with the class above re ferred to, that the negroes will continue to was - in session ? ine trutn gentlemen want Judge Logan bench. It is a matter of little to them how and by what means he is got off. Mejsrs. Durham and Guion must have known that the petition that was gottpn up asking the Legis lature to remove Judge Logan, was a Conservative Ku Klux trick ; gotten up to deter Judge Logan from arrest ing the Rutherford county Ku Klux.

That the working men of the city of Raleigh ever intended, or now desire,1 to array themselves against those who are able to live without manual labor, we deny, most emphatically. To form such an organization among them selves, they know too well would bo a suicidal move. They envy no man, for his wealth, but they intend to , get even with those who have had all the advantages of money expended for ed ucational purposes if not even them- intend to pave the way i JOHNSTON COUNTY. A friend from this 'county writes as follows: if "(Jreat credit is due to B. R. Hinnant for his exertions in thin county, lie took the field alone and fought successfully against Dr. J. T.

He was only de feated 97 vote a gain of 400 over his vote in August last. He was a member of the Ijegilature and voted for tho Howard Amendment, and has as good a record as any man in the State having been a Ktralght-forward Union man all the time.' All of which we endorse. We are informed that the canvass in Chowan county for Convention and against Augustus M. Moore, the anti Convention candidate, was exceedingly warm. Money was spent like water to carry the county for the Conservatives. Messrs. Gilliam, Wood & Co., put forth their best efforts, but Mr. Moore was too much for them. In addition to canvassing his own county very thor oughly, Mr. Moore made speeches in Tyrrell, Washington, Martin, Chowan, Gates, Perquimans, Pa-fquotank and Ouiideu.; In nil these, counties we gained largely. ToMr.'J. W. Albertson, anti-Convention candidate in Perquimans coun ty, much' is due for the large majority in that county against Convention, and also in the adjoining counties of Pas quotank, Camden, Chowan, Perquim ans and Washington. The large gains made in all the counties of the first and second Senatorial Districts, is duo to the efficient canvass of Messrs.

For their patronage and support, they receive in return perse cut ion. ' But, we are told, the Sentinel has made a retraxit. Ah! Repented in the short space of 48 hours !

Let us look into this mat ter and while doing so, let us rem em ber that this "going back" comes only after friends talk about the previous article, and after It is too plainly ap parent, tliat the Sentinel had "put its foot" into hallowed precincts. That- paper of the 10th, under the caption of "the laboring men." doles out a political-glad, article, tliat they, tho laboring men, In icw of high tax ation, are organizing; throughout the State ! This is a long drawn conclusion, and, is in fact, a palpable misrepresen tation of tho objects of, the working men's move in this city. '".'' But, here's the ointment with which the Sentinel proposes to besmear the working men of Raleigh, after having Inflicted upon them, a most damaging wound : i We aro glad to see these people, who can truly and practically and forcibly represent the industrial Interests of the State, mov ing. They . aro about, forming a labor or ganization fur the purpose of farthering tho indastrial Interests of the State and we trust that all classes of industry will - join in the movement. Let it stretch from Cherokee if ho did not mean thin. The colored men are citizens, and "their 'places?,' aref side by side with llr. Durdam, so far'as politics is concerned. The col ored man is, politiecrfly, Mr. Durhams equal not his superior or -inferior. Th " tendency" of the Invisible Em pi rp was to keep the negroes from the polis, or make them vote the Conserva tive ticket. Having done this, the ne groes were then in " their places." j Gin there be any doubt, according to thej testimony of Mr. Durham, that the Corjseryative party is hostile to the po litical freedom of the negro? We think not; The Invisible Empire has nqt been disbandea that we Know of. we prelume it is still in existence to "keep the -negroes in their places." j So it turns out that the Conservative parjty professes one thing! in its ai dresses, aijd behind the scenes there is an r oath-bound, secret organization, vl19se formation was, and i whose otj ject'is, to "keep the negroes in their places." The Sentinel of Saturday last let the cat out of the bag, and now Mr. Durham places the Invisible Empire, the Sentinel and the Conservati ve party , upon the -same platform hostility' to the negro. ; j J We are exceedingly glad Mr. Dur ham was put on the witness stand. No one can read his testimony without be ing convinced of ; its truthfulness. :Mr. Durham must be convinced by this:, time that the Ku Klux Klan is crumbling to pieces. The Ku Klux Bill is : being enforced in every State where an outrage has been committed. As fast as the officers of the law arrest and bring to trial these midnight ma rauders and assassins, some member br members of the Klan turns State's evi dence. In this way the organization is one of them,is a wolf in sheep's clothing,and will both rob a hen-roost and cheat a negro ! We do not know, if Convention has won. or lost ; but we hope the former, to save the people of the State from ruin, and to show the duped, foolish, and ungrateful blacks that they have been fed with lies have voted against their best friends, and that neither their liberties or homes, if they have any. will be taken awav but that tiiey will oe made more secure. liut, is it not time, that the friendship of the whites, should cease to the negro ?
