it passions that are likely to be . awaken ed by the next presidential election. The constitutionality of the law un der which he is acting a point upon which Democrats are constantly harp ing for jxlitical effect is a question v,-ith which the President has officially nothing to do. It is his duty to assume that all laws enacted by Congress are constitutional, and then proceed to their faithful execution, until the judicial de partment of the Government, in a case properly brought before it, shall decide otherwise. The Constitution of the United States, as interpreted by the legislation of Congress in the first in stance, and judicially interpreted by the Supreme Court in the final resort, is the law by which the President is bound to govern his executive conduct. He has no discretion in the matter, except within the limits of the law yhich he is sworn to execute. The. Government of thestf United States acts directly up on the people as citizens and subjects of its authority; and, if it has no pow er to protect them in the peaceable en joyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, then the Government itself is a mere sham, arm ed with the power of exaction, but in efficient ana useless for the purpose of defense. Any candid man, carefully olserving the guaranties named in the Fourteenth Amendment, and also the exnress nowor of Consrress to enforce the provisions of this Amendment by appropriate lecrislation, will tincl the Constitution a broad basis for the Kn forcemcnt Act. The partisan attitude of Democrats toward this act, and the amendment which it seefcs to make practical, as well :is toward the .President for simply do ing his duty according to the require ments of law, clearly, shows that they cannot be safely trusted with the legi.- lative enforcement of the Constitution as it now is. Their political interests in 44 TheOrdcrof the Invisible Empire" would make them treacherous to pub lic liberty, were they in power. What thev call the 44 Keiern of Terror" issim- plv the reiirn of constitutional law against the lawless. Let the people vote down the Democracy, and thor- oughly sustain tne I'resiueni in ins ei fort to execute the laws, and this 44 Or der " of political conspirators, robbers, and murderers will find even the South ern States too hot for them. The strong arm of law should be wielded against it till it wholly disappears from the land. If Southern Democrats have not yet discovered that the Rebellion is con quered, it is quite time to give them further proof of the fact. The Presi dent means that they shall accept the situation as an accomplished fact peaceably if they will, forcibly if they must ; and all good citizens should say Amen to the patriotic and ncoie pur ose. j . jiuicpwuwtii.

Her story is simple, but it tells the depth and si lent power of material love. Once a happy and contented girl in her native home a town of 431errie England," our true heroine dwelt. In that Brit ish town the priest of Mormonisin a jvcared. Many were they who listened, and a few followed after him to sluire the promises of. Utc Western Israel. Of these infatuated persons one was that angel of the young convert joined tlie caravan with her fellow proselytes for the weary journey. She had be come a "Mormon in all the strength of her soul, and believed in the new dis pensation. On the way to America the same false preacher was with them from Livcriooi to Salt Lake, and on the wav he married her, and a true and honorable wife she became to him. . But lafr the husband, tiring of the gentle helpmate, musts needs obey the great commandment polgamy. An other wife, and then a third in quick suscession ; but at this the only one entitled to the sacred title rebelled and was driven out to occupy a separate but. She had two children, and ask ing for these as her portion, promised to leave the place forever. Did she get her little ones? Oh.no.

Friends Yearly Meeting vThe North Carolina Yearly Meeting of Friends was held at JNew uarden, commencing on Sunday, Nov. 5th. j The larsre and commodious meeting house, now nearly finished, was occu- Sied for the first time. This is a very ne structure, built of brick, 60 by 100 feet, two stories in heicht. with a pro- fection of 20 bv 40 feet for the use of Sabbath schools. &c It will seat com fortably. when finished, three thousand people, and is, we believe, the largest house of Worship in the State. The at tendance on Sunday was very large, temporary seats accommodating about 1,500, with a large number standing.f A large number of Friends were pres- fill; JIUill IIIU A" VI 1 1 Id 11 iv States. Ministers from ix?yona tne lim its of the State were in part as follows: Jeremiah A. Garnell, David Bales, Ka- chael Bales, Tennessee; Samuel Junes, James Barton, Vermont; Dr. James Rhodes. William Evans. Pennsylvania; John Allen. Absalom i Dennis. W. II. Coffin. John D. Carter. Lydia Jane Hill, Phccbe Cook, Phariba Thomas, Kl va Ganse, Indiami ; John Y. Hoover, Jermima Weisner,Iowa. ( The meetings held through the week for business were very fully attended, and of much interest to the Society, showing a prosperous condition in all its branches. Total number of families of) Friends, as far as reported, 1,052: No. of members, 3,G33: No. received during the year, 118. Bible and Tnict distribution during the year, as far as reports received, were as follows: Bi bles, 281; Testaments,' 557; Pages of Tracts. 750.000 : every member of the Society being supplied with acopyof the Holy Scriptures, iteports irom tne Sabbath Schools show a large number in attendance, with an increased inter est. The report from the New Garden Boarding School, an institution belong ing to the Friends, shows that it fully sustains the reputation it has maintain ed for the past thirty-five years (as a first class school, and is, we believe the oldest institution of learning now in operation in the State. It is entire ly out of debt, and offers advantages for the education of young men and7a dies equal to any institution in our State. - I The Temperance meeting held pn Monday night was largely attended a number of able addresses were made, and a feeling of much interest was man ifested for the success of the cause. No member of the Society is allowed to engage in the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors. On Wednesday business was suspen ded for public Worship. An immense throng were in attendance, estimated at three thousand. We noticed in the large assembly the venerable formj of Mrs. Sarah Stanly, aged 94 years, who has attended every yearly meeting of the Friends held at New Garden for eighty successive years. She is still very sprightly, walking without help, and' in full possession of her mental fac ulties. - 1 The weather having been very pleas ant during the meeting, every one Ad mitted that it was one of the most use ful and pleasant Yearly Meetings ever held at Jsew Garden. ; ' For the Carolina Era. What Does it Mean ? Messrs. Editors: The statement of The Sentinel in regard to the trial of Cuff Trice, at the late term of Oranere Court, are remarkable specimens) of barefaced mendacity, even lor mat un scrupulous sheet. " The first article stated that Cuff Trice; was convicted of an assault with intent to commii a rape, for which crime,beingablack Re publican, he was sentenced to the coun ty jail for eighteen months at an enor mous expense to the county insteadj of being sent to the Penitentiary, where the contractors would have given he State sixty cents per day for his servi ces. . . ! A more infamous tissue of false state ment and lying innundo has not been woven since Satan showed mother Eve how it was done. i I The truth of the matter is this : Guff Ttice was indicted for a simple assault only ; he was tried for a simple assault, convicted of an assault, and sentenced for an assault. Turner was ( in the Court room during the trial and knew these facts. If he had not ! been, theV all appeared of, record and f he might have learned then by consulting Mr. Iiws. the Clerk, or examining for liinitnlf I "I 'Josiah claims to be a-lawyer and knows if he knows anything hat theourt had no more power to send Crlff Trice to the Penitentiary, upon this conviction than it had to send LJoe Tunirr there without a conviction He knbws too that if Cuff Trice had hppn ronvicted of an assault with in tent to commit a rape, that the court would have had no discretion jbut would have been compelled to sentence him to the Penitentiary. In this mat ter, Turner is guilty, of one deliberate falsehood, according to the record kind nfnnother still more despicable, or of flio mrvst. fnrnnrpivfthle stUDiditV. ' A later article upon the same feub- iect states that Cuff Trice was sentenced a crime which would formerly have hnno- him " There was never thank find nnv law in this State, which would hang a man for a simple assault, except Ku klux law," which these ar tides are designed to re-established in Orange county. It was just such a course of false representation as this which urged on these human fiends to the commission of the five raiditight murders which stand undetected ana unpunished, monuments of Ku klux corruption, in that county. The blood of these victims is upon the hands which nenned the false and inflamatory articles, just as certainly as it burdens the souls of the guiiry aciors. a iib no toriety of his imprisonment -is now nnnfrflnrl the rjrosoect of a I less obedient following than heretofore, as well as an overwhelming necessity to raise the wind, leads Joe to desire to in augurate another reign or terror in nr,,ro that ho mav profit thereby.

The Sentinel of the Cth inst., says a jury of radicals acquitted some negroes charged with barn-burning, when the proof was overwhelming. This assertion contains three! falsehoods. In the first place, the trial alluded to, was for burning the' house of Jesse Burt. Secondly, tho evidence was circumstantial, and'in favor of the accused. Thirdly," the jury was not wholly composed of radicals. There were two men on it who are Democrats, i The idea that affidavits have been made by men that they cannot get affair, trial in Wake county, is no sign that pie facts set forth in the affidavit . are true.. They may be as false as the charge recently made by The Sentinel, that Gov. Caldwell had appointed C. M. Farriss As sistant Adjutant General.

Six of the viK lains have been arrested, and taken to Ashe-Yillc4-their names are Harris, Haney, Wil son, Price, Higgins and Mcintosh. - In noticing these outrages, the Carolinian of this city remarks : " The time has como for men to speak out plainly on this sub ject, 'and the Democratic party must and shall repudiate these scourgers ana assas sins, and aid in bringthem to punishment." That's a good resolution, brother Hearne, and iro have no doubt but that you will do your utmost to make it good ; but, mark it, you will find excuses, as plenty as black berries in summer, put forth by certain pa pers in this State, for the perpetrators rea sons! why the parties deserved Ku Klux inir and that they were not Ku Kluxed and if they were, it was done by Radicals and all such stuff. We agree with the Car olinian that " there is nothing in the history of North Carolina throughout tlie entire periid of the past ten years that can justify or pretend to justify the people in taking tho law Into their own hands, and whoever so attempts, is guilty of a crime against civil liberty, and they are aiders and abettors of crime who excuse or palliate such conduct In anv one."

Commis- - , i sioner "Vest : Lincocnton, N. C, Nov. Cth,! 1871. To the Local Editor of the Bra: s Since my letter of Oct. 31st, new develop-; ments have come to light. One of the Night Hawks, and a Grand Cyclops of Cleveland, has at last .puked on the Grand Titus, (Com monly known as Chief of the county). I witnessed the trial on the 4th inst., of Col. Lee M. McAfee, of Cleveland county, at this place, before U. S. Commissioner J. P. Vest. Col. Hoke and Bynura appeared for the defendant. During the examina tion of the witnesses, the defendant: sat in close proximity to hi3 counsel with a view no doubt, of overthrowing the witness in testimony; but without avail. They" stood firm, and revealed the secrets from the year J8G9, until tho present; and strange to say tho defence did not introduce a, single witness to swear that the U. S. witnesses were men of bad character, as has been gen erally done in the K. K. cases; but the witnesses in this case are men of truth and veracity, and during the trial, they gave their testimony in a slow, firm and decisive manner, and when the Commissioner asked the counsel for tho defendant, if ho was through with the witnesses, his reply was, we are, and that they did not desire to make a speech, but would ask the mercy of the Court in regard to bail that it might be put as reasonable as possible, as the defen dant showed uo disposition to leave, and had come willingly, and was away from bis friends, fec. But the Commissioner; on the subject of bail said, that he would act with discretion, and remarked, that this was next to the highest crime known to the laws of tho United States, and consequently ho would require a bond of fS.OOOJor i the de fendant's appearance at the next Term of the U. S. Circuit Court, to bo held at Raleigh. During the trial a large crowd was present; and as soon as the Commissioner decided to bind Mr. McAfee o ver, they flocked to his side proffering their assistance to go on his bond. Now see the difference : Every day from 12 to 20 of the Night Hawks are tried and bound over to Court, but not one of the prom inent men offer their assistance, and they did not show sympathy for the Grand Cyclops, who puked on "Titus." i Every day is giving new light on the order, and ere long, we hope to hear more valuable information as regards the Chief of the State. I . -...i Another interesting trial before Com missioner Vest, was that of intimidation and threatening a U. S. witness. The de fendant was bound over and in default of $3,000 bail was committed to jail. The Virginia State Fair Hatred for the U. S. Flag part of the Pro gramme. Every friend of peace will re gret that the State Fairs, in the South, seem to have taken a political bias, and in open opposition not to the Administration, on lybut to the Union. At the Virginia State Fair recently held in Richmond, this spirit of rebellion exhibited itself with marked bravado. Several Military Volun teer Companies visited the Fair grounds, and were addressed by gentlemen, J promi nent in the late rebellion, in language al most amounting to treason ; and of the con duct of one Military Company, the Rich mond State Journal says : " Our attention was called this morning to a fact we failed to observe on yesterday in connection with the parade of the military companies. The flag of, the United States was bntirely ignored, and the letters " U. S." were torn from the cartridge boxes, a' number of the members declaring they would notj parade at all if compelled to do so with these letters on the boxes. We presume it makes but little difference with Uncle Sam whether these young gentlemen discard his initials or not, for Ii Expects to continue his exist ence, regardless of their feelingof contempt." A Citizen of Raleigh Killed in Montgomery. On Tuesday night,7th, the Republicans of Montgomery had a jolifi cation meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, using an anvil for a cannon. The anvil exploded, a fragment striking and j killing Mr. Judson Frost of this city, who was quietly passing along an adjacent sidewalk. Judson Frost is a son of Mr. Valintine A. Frost, a worthy Mechanic of this city, who has been employed in the shop of the Mont gomery fc West Point Railroad for some months, where his soy Judson joined him last August, in the same employment. The sad news was communicated by letter to Mrs. Adeline Frost mother of the young man, in this city yesterday morning. , This is the second son who has met with a violent death, and we truly sympathize with the good lady in her soreafllictions.

The Georgia Constitutionalist, Democrat, speaking of the existence of Ku Jvlux in Georgia, and the suspension of th0 writ in nine counties in South Carolina, says : j T "If the citizens of Georgia do not, through their own grand juries, and through their own courts of justice, take cognizance of the infractions of its laws, and tho violations of the rightsrof property, person and life of its own citizens, white and colored, they can, witli but poor grace, raise a clamor against the unconstitutional Ku Kluxism of the Congress of tho United States, which has authorized the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and to send Federal troops to preserve order.' The Constitutionalists, continues " Thero is - but one mode to escape such results. It is for the people of Georgia jin tlie several counties which have reason ; to fear Federal interference, to rise upf and by their conduct show that they are capable of protecting the lives of their own j citizens, and to bring to punishment those vhodefy the laws of tlie State." $15,300 for State printing for the year past. Littlefield received for a like period near $38,000. So much for the State printing, Sentinel of the 13th.
