M., on Tuesday Oct. 3tst, 1$71, a number of the good people of Henderson county met in the Court Housq in Ilendersonville, for the pur pose of consulting together for the good of our;country. ' On iiiotion of I). Stradley, Dr. Josiah Johnson was , called to the Chair, and W. GUB. Morris was called on to act as hccr(?tfirv ReVt' N. Bowin being called on, ex plained the object in a few plain and pointed remarks, the substance of which' are embodied in the "resolu tions '5 adopted by the meeting. On motion, the Chair appointed A. Q. Mopre, D.- Stradley, J. R. Justice, Joseph Hamilton, Riley Whiteker, Esq., and Rev. N. Bowin, a committee to draft resolutions for the action of the meeting, which retired for a short time and returned with the following pre amble and resolutions which were unan imously adopted : I Whkrras, The evidence taken be fore tlitt Supreme Court Judges, in the impeachment trial of Governor Ilolden, before I the Joint Select Committee of Congress, in the late trials before the U. S. Circuit Court at Raleigh, and in the examination before the U. S. Com missioners at various times and places, shbws beyond all question the startling and disgraceful fact, that a secret con spiracy against the lives and liberties of the citizens, popularly known as the Kit 7v7ta- Klan, is organized and in op eration in North Carolina, comprising manv thousand dangerous and lawless men; and, Whkkeas, It further ap pears that many good and peaceable citizen? of; the State have been taken out from their houses at night and bru tally murdered by said Klan. While hundreds have been cruelly scourged and nameless outrages committed upon others; both male and female; and, Wiikukas, By disguises worn, by falsehood and purjury, by threats of violence, and by inspiring of terror up on the people, the conspirators have set at defiance the State authority and compelled the Federal authority to again intervene in our affairs, for the protection of life and liberty; and, Wiikukas, The evidence proves that Hamilton C. Jones, a State Senator, and Lee McAfee and F. N. Strudwick, Representatives in the State Legisla ture are numbers and leaders among the conspirators, murderers, and felons above named, and have participated in, ordered or sanctioned their horrible crimes; Therefore, ; liesolved, That the good citizens of Henderson county, do most earnestly petition and pray the respective House -of the general Assembly of the State to 'promptly and diligently inquire into the facts, and to expell the said Hamilton 9. Jones, Lee McAfee, F N. Strudwick and any other jnembers or Officers of either House of the Legisla ture, who may be found to be members or participators in said dangerous and disgraceful conspiracy, against the lives and liberties of the citizens of the State. 1 , JlesQtcd, That a copy of these reso lutions. and preamble be sent to the presiding officers of the two Houses of the Legislature, immediately after they shall have assembled with the request -that the same be laid before the respect ive bodies, and that a copy be imme diately sent to The Carolina Era ind Pioneer for publication, in order that the county may know that the masses of our people are not in sym pathy with the organized violence and crimesL which have so much injured and; disgraced the State for the last three years. During the absence of the committee, Hon. J. M. Justice, of Rutherfordton, was called for and responded for about an hour in his: usual elegant and telling style. -He delt out to Ku Klux in thundering tones their "meat in due seasoni" ... We was much pleased to meet with Mx.?Jtfsiice as he is well known to the people: of Henderson, a3 one of the self made pnen, of "Western North Caro lina," I Henderson being his native county; he having stood firm for the "Union" all through the war, and has neverjlleserted his country in .the " si3ttOrouole nor forsaken it in the seventn."

The Ruth erford Star is reliably informed that a woman in Rutherford county gave birtli to a boy child, a few da3s since, and upon the breast or abdomen of the child there was a well defined protulierance representing a dis guised head of a Ku Klux, with hornssonie two inches long. The Plaindcaler regrets to learn that Dep uty Sheriff A.J. Simms, of Wilson, was severely cut in tlie face by a negro woman who undertook to prevent the execution of; a search warrant having something to dd with a lost hog. This occurred on Friday last. The woman has since then been pass ing a very quiet time in the county jail. Wo understand that Maj. L. W. Peck, of this city, was up before Commissioner Shaf fer, a day or two since for a violation of the Revenue laws in regard to the selling of leaf tobacco,: and bound over to answer. We are satisfied that Maj. Peck has not knowingly violated the law. Yet, Commis sioner Shaffer had a duty to perform. ( Wm. Bland, recently confined in tlie jail of Robeson county, and demanded by the Gov. of Georgia, charged with murder in that State, was an attache of Reynold's Blond Minstrels, when arrested. He had been employed near Lumberton previous to his connection with the minstrels, and only left Robeson after confessing himself a murderer. For these facts, we are indebted to the Iiobemnian. (iedrge M. Arnold, Esq., of this State, made thirty-nine speeches in Virginia du ring the recent campaign. He visited thir teen counties eleven went Republican, the other two Democratic. Mr. Arnold says there are no less than fifteen solid factions of Republicans in the city of Richmond and county of Henrico, and that this and not "Negro Conservatism" was the cause of the loss of Richmond city to the Republi cans. i ' : Escapes, and attempts at escape, from our various county prisons, have become com mon, of late. ; We noticed several such feats during the past two months, and to-day, we find in the Itobesonian an account of the unsuccessful attempt of a prisoner named Brady, to leave his quarters in the jail of that county. ; "What will a man not give for his life?" and what means will a man not use to leave the prison cell and his shackles behind? Mr. J. W. Butler, in a well written 'com munication to ihe Banner of Temperance. responds to 'our suggestion that the colored people of this city organize a Temperance Society, by reporting that such an organiza tion already exists, Avith a membership of about 'two hundred. We are more than pleased to know this fact, and sincerely wish the " Band of Hope "name of the Soci ety may increase in numbers, until there shall remain inot one to be asked the ques tion, "have you taken the pledge?" The comments of the Wilson Plaindealer on the Proclamation of Gov. Caldwell, set ting aside the 30th of this month as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God, Tor the many blessings vouched safe to us, as a peo ple, during the past year, is in decided bad taste, and reflects no credit upon the writers. If the Plaindcaler can see nothing in the past 3-ear, in the way of health, good crops, !fce., to thank God for, we have but little hope that it even recognizes the hand of God in - any of tlie many temporal blessings which surround it. "An Honest Confession Good for the Sour.." And sometimes for the neck. The Rutherford Sarofthe 11th says: Several disgusted Ku Klux have made statements this week, of! their connection with the or der, and ask to be excused. One man swears that he was sworn in by a Methodist circuit rider who told him, that II. A. Shotwell, was chief of Rutherford county; PlatoDur ham, chief of Cleaveland; J. Banks Lyles, chief of Spartanburg county, South Caroli na; Josiah Turner, Grand chief of North Carolina; Gen. Wade Hampton, Grand chie of South. Carolina; Gen. X. B. Forrest, Grand Cyclops of the Southern States, and Gen. Frank Blair, Grand Cyclops of the United States. North Carolina is in an unusually jubilant condition at present, and justly so. Sha has discovered that tobacco can be grown in many of the counties west of the Blue Ridge, and so she boldly flings out in the face of Virginia her red flag of defiance. The particular counties in which the cul ture of the tobacco-plant has been adopted have been noted hitherto for the production of rich, sweet grass, and for some of the fin est apples in the country. In 1869, a gentle man from Virginia, considering that the soil and climate ought to be suitable for the production of tobacco, tried the experiment by planting two acres ; the following year he tried twenty-five acres, and this year one hundred and fifty acres. Each experiment has been a decided success. The bright yellow tobacco produced has a large leu with a fine texture, and the color all that can be desired for a wrapper. Since Mr. Shelton has been so successful, several other gentlemen have gone, into the busi ness, and it isjiow asserted that they have 200,000 pounds of tobacco for sale this year inbit.State.

These prisoners are not confined in the county jail, but 'occupy comfortable quarters in the building 011 Hargett street, used by the U. S. Marshal as an office.
