Buncombe Bill Day in the House. LETTER FROM TIMOTHY TARBUCKET TO HIS BETSY. Raleigh, Nov. 2o, 1871. Dear Betsy: - I'm mighty glad to hear you got my letter that Mister Ilanes printed for mo. I am well and Maj. Robbins is doing as well as could be expected. Well, Betsy, last Wednesday I went to see the House of Representatives. When I got in 1 asked a good-humored looking man what they were going to do that day. Says he: "Why this is Buncombe bill day." "What's that, tzxya I ?" Why, don't you see that gentleman over thar on the right, be hind that pile of papers " Yes,' says I, " Who is he V9 That's Mr. Buncombe, of Johnston. He has Just taken a con tract to furnish all the bills on Consti- tutional reform which shall be required H' . . a a xLi. i hv the Democratic oartv this session. And he has just brought in his first in stallment." Just then one of Mr. Buncombe's friends got up and says he: "Mister Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and make this Buncombe bill day." . ' The Speaker sorter smiled and says, " I'm willin', all in fayorof the motion will stop eating ground peas and stand up." All of 'em on that side of the House stood up, and the Speaker said, " the motion is carried." Mr. Buncombe, of Johnston, arose. aud says he : ' " Mister Speaker, 1 want to introduce a dozen or so bills to amend this infamous Constitution," and he commenced to fill up his arms with bills. j . The Speaker he looked in his tactics and savs lie: " It is the opinion of the chair that the House can't do a whole sale business on Buncombe bill day." ; Mr. Buncombe looked a little cross and he says: "Do I understand the SfK-aker to rule me down to tho intro duction of one bill at a time?" The Speaker he said, " Yes, we can "only do a retail business under the present Constitution." Mr. Buncombe then sent up thq following amendments to the Constitu tion in single file: 1st. That on Buncombe bill day the gentlemen from Johnston shall be em powered to introducebills by tho whole halo. . 2d. That it shall be a penitentiary offence for any man to put any fire in in the mountains just before an elec tion, and if any man shall say the "mountains are in a blaze," he shall leshot. 3d. It shall not be lawful for a nig ger to beat any gentlemen from John ston or from Buncombe for any office. 4th. That no person shall be elected to any office, or serve on a Democratic committee unless he is a lawyer. Sth. That the returns from the late election in New York shall not be con sidered as a part of the new Constitu tion. Oth. That it is unkind in Zeb. ance to hold on to the Senatorship. j 7th. That Democratic printers shall le allowed to charge by the letter m or the letter b, but if a Republican printer Hhall ever be elected in this State (and it is firmlv believed by the General Assembly that such a contingency will soon arise) he shall be required to re fund all sums overdrawn by such Dem ocrats. ' Sth. That so much of the oath taken bv Democratic members as compels said members to levy X on every $1,1)00 worth of property, be and the same is hereby annulled, provided, however that all such members shall have permission to threaten to do that thing during next campaign. 0th. That the President of the Board of Directors of the' Penitentiary shall be entitled to two votes in all elections for Warden, or on any other occasion when the good of the Democratic party shall demand it. ' . ' 10th. That no Democrat shall be ar rested, imprisoned, required to give bail, or put to any inconvenience for any such harmless amusement as whip ping or killing niggers and scalawags. 11th. That it is tho highest aim of the Democratic party to get into office and stay there. . j 12. That the people of this State de serve to be Ku Kluxed for voting against a Convention last August. Now, Betsy, I don't pretend to give the language of Mr. Buncombe's bills ; all I give is the substance. A friend of Mr. Buncombe's he got nn and moved that the bills be printed, but Mr. Carteret, of Martin, says: " Mister Speaker, I don't see any use printing them amendments. Nobody is interested in 'em but Democrats and they can go down to the rooms of the Democratic Executive Committee and read 'em all on the journal there. There's whar they come from." , ). Then the Speaker set there, and all there and yon couldn't hear anything but the cracking of ground pea hulls for about three minutes. t Then the Speaker asked Mr. Bun combe if he couldn't scratch up another amendment somewhere. t" Mr. Buncombe said he couldn't think of such a thing. ? Whereupon the Speaker declared that Buncombe bill day had closed for this week, and they all drawed their five dollars apiece and adjourned. 1 Yours under the Constitution, ; Timothy Tarbucket. j P. S. Betsy, I forgot to tell you they are talking about getting Maj. Robbins to introduce his bill agin, 'cause they say the Assembly want organized when he introduced it before. I As soon as I sell my tar i m coming home. T I For the Carolina Era. ; WlLEIAMSTOWN, MAS8., ) Nov. 20th, 1871. j Col. Labiaux, ' Raleigh, N.

' For the Carolina Era. Messrs. Editors: Do allow me the use of your columns to say a word in behalf of the unfortunate men who to day went to Raleigh to be triefl as Ku Klux. I will speak of those from Ca tawba, but it will apply to all.J Tnis day will long be remembered by the citizens at the different stations on the W. N. C. R. R. The parting scenes between husbands and wivesl fathers and children, were enough to excite the sympathy of the coldest hearied man in North Carolina, and then to hear flie curses loud and deep upon those who originated this order, showed too plainly that these men had been duped, had been led astray by those who are yet behind the curtain. These men are legallv guilty, but we must say that they 'knew not what they did and never would have so acted had they not. been deeeived into it bv desisniinfir politicians, men who hate this! govern-; ment, and every man who loves it.i The Broadcloth managing gentry yet' untouched, belonging perhaps to some higher order, only perhaps partiallyi . 1 ! ,1 At , .1 Known, nave iNsueu mrau wucia, u these humble Homespun men thought tleman to-day said at Newton a bbhd: signed by one hundred of Catawba's best citizens could be given thit no acfc of insubordination would everibe com-j mitted again in the county, 5f these? men could tney oe reiurneu iTnilin- W do believe the to tneir. govern- ment lias satisfied this people that there i law and that law shall be respected: and we do trust the government will see proper to act as leniently asj possible! with the humble, wool hat, homespun clothed, plain, honest farmer) boys of the West.

Editor of The Hickory Tavern Eagle A All he will say should have its propel: weight, for we know he has all the time advised his people to obey the laws of the land, and if others were to try and follow his example, and let us have peace, our State would soon blossom as he rose. I am satisfied if these men can return to their families, we will hearjno more of Ku Klux in Cataba county and in the West.

The Democratic Executive Committee issued a circular some time ago, and said something about three dollars a day and ten cents a mile, for the Legislators' per diem, ias one of the hickory, solid planks, in their platform, to win on. The Legislature has" repudiated that plank, by voting themselves five dollars a day. We most devoutly trust they may not at tempt to measure their time by the letter m. Gov. Scott, in his message to the Legisla ture of South Carolina, in reference to the ku klux in that State says : "Many persons of the suspected class Y.avtftA from tho nriner Counties, while at the same time protesting their innocence of crime, xf ngni irom arrest uy uunxio mo law is not generally regarded as furnishing a very strong legal presumption of inno cence. It would be far better, however, for the State, that all of this class should aban don it forever, than that even one industri ous laborer should be murdered or driven away from the pursuits of useful industry. The former are usually drones in the hu man hive, while upon the products of the toiling mass repose the whole wealth and prosperity. ! , I am officially informed that thus far about six hundred arrests have been made in this State, under j the Act of Congress.

We are pleased to bear testimony to the fairness on the part of The Southerner, in doing an act of justice to Judge Moore. If we mistake not, the exception alluded to proved not an exception, for the same paper that assailed His Honor, "took it back" by saying the Judge discharged his duties satisfactorily to all. Judge Moore is now holding Edgecombe Court. He was not up 10 time on Monday owing to the fact that he was necessarily in this bity, and did notj leave until Monday morning. We had the pleasure of an inter view with him Sunday afternoon, and can bear testimony to his r3grets in not being, at that time, in Tarboro'. The Southerner again speaks of the excel lency of this gentleman, as a Judge, in the following language: j When J udge Moore recei ved the appoint ment to his present position, several judicial aspirants in this District thought it extreme ly strange that Gov. Caldwell could not find a suitable Republican lawyer residing in the District I upon whom the honor might not be bestowed. However that may Vfoe, the sequel has shown that the Governor dis played good judgment in his selection, and that his appointee has shown himself wor thy to wear the judicial ermine. "Judge Moore's first Court was held at Tarboro', and although differing with His Honor politically, The Southerner was prompt to record the fact that the Judge was able and impartial in bis decisions, and that he had made a fine impression upon the bar and the public j 44 It affords us pleasure to state that the opinion of The Southerner has since been en dorsed and confirmed by the press wherever Judge Moore has held a court. With one exception, the voice of the press has been unanimous in commendation of his conduct and ability. During the court now in ses sion here, Judge Moore is bearing himself with dignity and impartiality. He has made an enviable reputation in tnw county."

Dear sir : We desire, through the medium of your paper, to in form the citizens of this county, and all others whom it may interest that we do now and forever renounce all connection with the Kuklux Klan, alias Invisible Em pire, White Brotherhood, Ac In so doing we desire to state that our identity with said organization was accomplished through de ception and ffaud, as we were informed that the object of said Order was the good of the country and having ascertained that their ends are to be obtained through violence and illegal acts, we wish to have it known that as law-abiding citizens, such conduct does not receive our sanction or approval, and in denouncing it, we wish to express our determination to act in future with the National Republican party, to the end that our liberties may be preserved,and the laws respected and obeyed. We joined this order the first of a secret nature that we were ever connected with over two years ago, but have never attended any of their meetings, or assisted in any of its raids. John H. Reed, John J. Reed. ! Madison County, Nov, 25, 1871. Editor Pioneer .-We, the undersigned, having been deceived by men who should have been better friends to us and to the Government, were induced to join the or ganization known as the ku klux klan. the Invisible Empire, White Brotherhood or White Man's Party, desire that our friends and those who respect and desire to see maintained the laws made for our protection and government, should know that we are no longer members of the trea sonable order mentioned. In severing our connection with the same and the party that created and fosters it, we bid them a final adieu, sincerely hoping that the Government will not pause after arresting the poor and humble men of the party, who have been led astray by the leaders of this iniquitous or ganization, but that those wiser ones who ensnared them may be brought to thebarof j ustice and punished for their double crime first, for organizing a midnight ban ditti, and second, for seducing men into the same to do their nefarious and dastardly work. After we were initiated into the or der with no way of withdrawing without placing our lives in jeopardy the leaders of the Conservative-Democratic party promis ed to stand by and aid us in the hour of trouble; but with that' cowardice wich is ever the accompaniment of base designs, they flee at the approach of the ofiicers of the law, or with an effrontery which would put to the blush the Devil himself, they swear they know nothing about it, and call upon Jehovah to witness their innocence and pvrity. Mr. Editor, if the laws are made to catch flies only, then it were well that in the allegorial representation of J us tice the figure is blind-folded ; if it is other wise, and its rigors are visited alike onple bianand aristocrat, then Albany prison may yet boast of having representatives from the first families ; yea, even the law makers may find an abode in that Palace of Sighs. , J. R. Moss, , A. E. Hensley, M. W. BUCKNEB. S. O. BUCKNER. Burnsville, Yancey Co., November 20th, 1871. Mr. Rollins : Please make it public that I have withdrawn from the Ku Klux party. I was sworn into it without know ing or xmdersianding anything about it, and afterwards became entirely disgusted and quit it entirely. I never participated in any of their raids ; we never formed any camp, nor was I Instructed in any of their signs ; nor did I ever attend any of their meetings. Very respectfully, yours, John C. Ramsey. Amusing Dialogue. The following dia logue is supposed to have taken place be tween two sprightly boys, on our streets, on Saturday : " John, do you know what two ladies in North Carolina are distinguished above all others for the dignity and propriety of their conduct, and the purity of their lives ?" - "No; do you?" . " Yes; Sally Gilmore and Kitty Fergu son' " How do you know?" " Because I saw their names in The Senti nel this morning." " now does that make it so ?' " Because M r. Hanes, who is a great friend to Mr. Turner and The Sentinel, and who has written a long article filled with their praises, says that " the name of no female is ever mentioned in its columns except such as have won distinction by the dignity and propriety of their conduct, and the pu rity of their lives, and then only that their example may have its due and exalting in fluence in the elevation and improvement of our race.' " " O, yes ; I remember now then The tfen tinel is hold ing Sally Gilmore and Kitty Ferguson as bright examples, is it?" " Why certainly it is; good morning, John." The Asheville Pioneer of the 30th Nov., contains the following notice : " Upon con sultation among a number of Republicans from different counties in the District, it is thought advisable to call a meeting of the Republican party of the 7th Congressional District, at Asheville on the 8th day of Jan uary next, forthe purpose of preliminary organization for the next Campaign. It is important that there should be a full atten dance at this meeting, and the various coun ties composing this Congressional District are urged to send up delegates." Buncombe Superior Court.

For the Most Part. Thursday was observed, for the most part, in this city, as a day of thanksgiving. Religious services wore held in some of our Churches, and good dinners "all over town."

Our County Court House is being used as a prison there seems no help for such proceedings. One jail is too small, and no other building can be had in this city for the accommodation of the K.

It is further ordered that tho Clerk serve a copy of this order on the County Treasurer. The Italian Parliament met in Rome oh the 27th of November. A Cable dispatch from the Holy City, of the 27th says: ! 44 The opening speech was delivered in person by his Majesty King Victor Em manuel. In commencing, he alluded to the events connected with the occupation of the city, and said that Italy restored to herself had reconquered her place in .the world. He was con vinced that Rome would remain the seat of the Pontificate. The relations between Italy and all other nations, his Ma jesty said, are friendly, and he believed that feace would continue ; but he warned the 'arliament that they would be held to strict account in the future if they neglected to perfect a thorough reorganization of the military and naval forces of the kingdom."
