For the Carolina Era.
Hon. Geo. W. Logan.
Mn. Editor : I was greatly pleased
with your excellent article, in Tuesday's
Kka; relative to the distinguished gen
tleman, whose name heads this article,
in vindication of his character. While
his judicial competency has been doubt
ed, his integrity, impeached and his
character assailed, he remains the same
t ool, calm, bold and unflinchible cham
pion, who, through the crisis of 1871,
never once faltered in the performed of
bin duty. . v . ,
The inestimable services ho has reu-
ilrreU for the suppression of thetreach- :
t -rous and murderous ku klux, ' de- f ,y
- rve more eulogy than you gave him. J
Ho has stood like adamant, exerting t
faeoof our State, these midnight ma
rauders and assassins, who openly set
the law at defiance, for the purpose of
carrying into execution their diabolical
plots, framed in their clandestine caves,
and it is because of his indefatigable ef
forts to sulxlue them, that the howl of
ineompetcMicv is raided. If he is arralgii
i I before the bar of thcfcfcnato for trial,
the same injustice will be done him as
was meted out to the wise and immor
tal Ilolden, and after their pretended
investigation touching his legal quali
fications and alledged incompetency,
their proceeding will be paraded be
fore the public, concealing hi virtues
and emblazoning his Magnified vices to
other bitter partizan constituents.
In the end, it will npiear that it was
a conspiracy entered into by. oath
Irf.und friends, to strip him of his er
mine ami deprive him of liberty by
disfranchisement, for the crime of pro
tecting innocent and unofTendiug citi
.czis, from the lash and the knife of
the Democratic banditti.
A review of the startling and shock
ing disclosures made before him would

and faithful Judge; he lias the confi

his present position, and if he is im-iK-aehed
the stigma of crime will for
ever rest upon the General Assembly,
who were not actuated by motives of
patriotism, but who were obeying an
order which emanated from the Invis
ible Empire. ' .
The charge of imbecility is unfound

civil war is'inauguratcd, Judge Logan
will be the same. If he had remained

Mr.. Editor: It is gratifying to
note the success that is being daily at
taintil by our party. . ' . ..
A mowmcnt is on foot to establish
it Republican paper at this place, mak
initthc org-anof the sixth Congros--ionaldi-trict.
Such an enterprise has
tiecii long felt and long needed, as
nothing could have a more elevating
t-ffect, not for the personal aggrandize
ment of a few individuals, but for the
more thorough organization of our par--tv
and the promotion of its principle.
It would have a tendency to awaken' a
more lively interest in those who have
been dormant, and to arouse them to
the important issues which are yet to
transpire, in the great battle of lSii.
We have the gentlemen in our town
who, if placed upon the editorial staff,
would add a tower of strength to our
party: who would refute the serious
and slanderous charges that are daily
made about us; who would crush the
corruption of tho Democratic party, and
who would partly be the means of ex
terminating the murderous and nefa
rious Ku Kluxconfeileration,flrtocmMM
dermockrerfy that has long heen
T1IH CURSE OF A CIVILIZED COUNTRY.
Thev would prove staunch advocates
of our cause in the campaign of 1S72;
1H imflinchincrlv expose the
villainy and rascality that is being en
acted to secure our defeat ; they would
overwhelm with disgrace the abettors
of violence, with an exposition of the
crimes they palliated; they would
"meet the enemy and they would Te
ours." Oiir banners would bo gilded
with the sunlight of victory; the slan
ders impeaching our integrity would be
drowned in the bowl of public opinion ;
our opiKjncnts would be willing to for
eive past animosities and let them be m
"The deep bosom of the ocean buried.
They would willingly yield to our can
didates having a lair hearing on the
stump and elsewhere ; they would sink
l.n,.,H, iUn. hlnxr that WOUld OC JUStly
dealt them, and wilt at the presence of
a Republican. We would teach them
that there was only a thin wall be
tween them and political destruction.
There is not a Republican paper in
this whole, densely populated district,
and consequently our party has been
laboring under great disadvantages in
not having a medium through which
to be heard, and one that would Incul
cate nothing but Republican pnnci-
1ULct our friends at once emerge from
the cares of present darkuess, and put
down the most damnable party that

KuKltjx Tbiaxs at Columbia, tt. c.
The Sentinel hd other Democratic papers
are fond of publishing , articles from The X.
y: Tribune, and for their benefit, we copy
the following letter written to The Tribune
from Columbia, dated Dec 9th:
The Circuit Court of the United States has
been in session hero two weeks, and al
though the whole of the time of the Court
has been devoted to ku klux buisiness, the
Government has not yet had an opportunity
to bring before the Court and the ucountryUtrengthenlng a party that fire place
in the shape of testimony, those brutal and jn office. t
beastly crimes whicb nave long Dcen vagoe-
iv bolipvpd to exist, and w
hlch are now
substantiated beyond all reasonable doubt.
It ia evident, at this stage of the proceedings,
that this delay has been caused by the In
tent of the defence to save their clients L e.,
the Democratic party, first of all, and abovo
all, and, afterward, the prisoners they rep
resent before the Court The plan of tho
F campaign has been to make a stand and a
long ngnt in tuo snape oi srgumsms uju
every point of tho law, with a view to delay
to the . last the revealing in the testimony
which will come, and which, appalling as
the facts are, tho nation is so anxious to
hear. This delay ha been engineered by
tho defense with a Micawberlike hope that
snmrtMncr would ' "turn UT" to keen the
facts from tho eve of tho public.
Ixng before the Court convened, several
of tho leading men of the Democratic party
In this State Wade Hampton foremost of
them alt took active measures to raise
supplies. So far as appears upon the sur
face of their transactions, they began by
issuing a circular to the several counties.
assessing each for a specific sum to be used
in defending the ku klux criminals, and in
employing eminent counsel to test the con
stitutionality of the laws under which they
were to be tried. Acting upon this notice
of assessment, those men who are always
prominent in Democratic movements in
the various counties, organized committees
and sub-committees, and went earnestly to
work. In obedience to the commands of
their masters. The result of all this is that
the Hon, Reverdy Johnson of Maryland,
and the Hon. Henry Stanbery, Johnson's
ex-Attorney General, are within the bar of
the Court, ostensibly defending tho prison
ers from conviction and imprisonment;
really defending the Democratic party from
the damnation that will follow a full devel
opment of the facts in the several cases.
The Court towards whom these gentlemen
are aiming their eloquence on the questions
ther have chosen to make, is composed of
Circuit Judge Hugh L. Bond and District
Judge Geo. S. Bryan. Judge Bond is a res
ident of Baltimore, Md., where he has had
long experience as a lawyer and acquired
enviable distinction as a criminal judge.
He is unhesitating and just in the prompt
decision of incidental disputes, patient and
careful In forming judgments on unsettled
questions.' By the entire bar of his circuit
he is regarded the equal of any judge on
the Bench, and a gentleman of the highest
oh Jirftotoro
The case in which murder is charged, and
which will go to the Supreme Court on a
certificate of division of opinion, is the Uni
ted States against James William Avery,
the Grand Cyclops of York County, who
fled when the Attorney-General visited that
region, and has not since been heard of in
those parts. The persons charged, except
Avery, with a large number of others, went
to a negro militia captain's house, by Ave
ry's order, at midnight, took the man from
his bed, put a rope around his nock in front
Of his door, then dragged him to the woods
near by, where they hung him. Then, with
that keen appreciation of that rich humor
with which these queer people overflow,
they attached to his body a paper upon
which was written the words "Gone to the
big muster." , .
If the Supreme Court sustains Judge
Bond in his view of the law and there is no
reason whatever to doubt it the men
charged in this indictment will certainly re
ceive the punishment they applied to poor
Jim Williams which they deserve and he
did not- The evidence is too overwhelming
even for a predjudicod jury to ignore.
The Difference. The Charlotte Dem
ocrat is gracious enough to say that if Con
gress will remove Vance's disabilities and
admit him it will advocate tho removal of
Gov. Holden'a disabilities. Gov. Vance's
disabilities were imposed by the govern
ment beer use he entered into a rebellion
against the life of the nation. Gov Holden's
"usabilities" were imposed by a Senate of
Jiorth CaroUna, composed in great part of
men who hated him for his loyalty to the
nation, of those holding seats in violation of
tho Constitution of tho United States, and
of those who were members of a secret, law
less, oath-bound society, for the reason that
he had,! as Chief Magistrate, made a vigor
ous effort to put a stop to the scourging,
mutilation, and assassination of American
eitizens for opinion's sake ! Men who were
whining at what they call the injustice of
the government in imposing disabilities on
them for their participation in a wicked at
tempt to overthrow the government, im
posed the " disabilities " cn Gov. Ilolden.
This-LeKislaturo never talked of impeach
ing Gov. Ilolden before he attempted to put
down midnight assassins, nor were there
.any very serious objections to Judge Lo
gan before he brought out the evidence
which sent tho leading Democrat of Ruth
erford c'ountv to the penitentiary. The peo-
plo understand this.
' Gov'. Vance was placed under ban be
cause he took part in a rebellion. Gov.
Ilolden was placed nnderban because he
sought to put down a rebellion.
- Gov." Ilolden asks no favor at the hands
of this General Assembly. He and his
friends scorn the disabilities;' imposed by
the tools of the "Invisible Empire," and
they despise any offers made for a compro
mise. .
Getting All Right. The State of Mis
souri was lost to the Republican party in 1S70
through a split upon the question of Am
nesty. The Constitution of that staie nv -ing
been amended so as to allow every man
the right to vote and hold office, the Stats is
fast getting back to the true ground from
which she lapsed last year. The entire body
of Republicans in the Legislature both
those who supported the regular ticket then
and those who sympathized with the Grantz
Brown movement have come together in
caucus and unanimously adopted an im
portant series of resolutions. One of them
condemns those individuals who "having
been honored by the Republican party in
the past, now seek, by deceptive chicanery
and dissembled professions of liberality;
to prostitute their positions and destroy
the RemibUoan party in the iuruieraucw w
their own selfish and personal aggrandize
ment '? a slap which Gov. Brown will proD
ably have very little difficulty in under
standing. Another resolution pieugw m
RepubUcans of Missouri to stand by the
action of the Republican National Conven
tion even though their own individual pref
erences may not in all things be adopted.
This ia a manlv and worthy position and,
heartily sustained by the whole party, it
goes far to relieve Missouri rrom me igno
miny of last year's defection.
United action on the part of the Republi
cans will redeem the State next year.

No iMPiSACHMEKT. Speaking of Judge
Logan, The Statesville American says:
We -would iadviao the Democrats Mi the
T.oiatiir not to lend in a matter of theH
sort, and. leave it entirely in the hands of
the republicans, who placed these men in
office. The people have endured these of
ficials a4 considerable length kit time, and
they can stand them yet a while, longer,
rather than by removing them, aid in
tnem
Iiet them be removed by the voice of an
injured and indignant people, at the polls
when their term of office shall expire,"
On the same subject, The Charlotte Demo
crat says : The Legislature has passed a
resolution to pay the witnesses (being sev
eral of the lawyers of this District) who were
summoned before the Judiciary Committee
at Raleigh to testify in regard to Judge Lo
gan's incompetency. A useless expense,
and should not have been incurred. If it is
going to require several weeks of the time
of the Legislature, and several thousand
dollars of the people's money, to get clear of
Tn.ifro T ncrnn veare opposed to it. One
da v'h session of the Legislature costs twelve
rir
'fifteen hundred dollars, and it would IxH
better to let Judge Logau drag out his time
than make him a martyr by impeachment
at heavy expense."
P. S. Since the above was written, the Ju
diciary Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives have reported on tho resolution
to impeach Judge Logan. A majority of the
Committee ask to be discharged from the
further consideration of the resolution. The
minority recommend impeachment. The
whole subject was postponed until the 3rd
of January, 1872.
Alamance County Startling Reve
lations. We aro informed that two men
Stockard and Faucett were arrested on a
bench warrant issued by Judge Tourgee,
charged with the murder of Wyatt Outlaw;
and they confessed that they were in tho
crowd who hanged Outlaw. We presume
confessions of these two men implicate a
great many others. We are also informed
that ien are under arrest wno con
fess that tliey were in the crowd who drown
ed the negro Puryear. Two of the Fousts
are in jail, i Another Foust gave bail. Bar
ber, who - turned State's evidence, was re
leased on Lis own recognizance On Sun
day last, Dr. T. C. Lutterloh, Henry Isley,
and Eli S. Euhss were arrested. Lutterloh
and Isley j were left in charge of a man by
the name of Stockard, who allowed them to
escape- Stockard was arrested and put in
jail for allowing the prisoners to escape.
He is one of the men who confessed to the
murder of Outlaw. These aro the particu
lars we hear them.
It has been two years since Outlaw was
hanged, and Puryear drowned. We hope
Judge Tourgee will unearth the whole mat
ter. It looks as if 44 murder will out." - It
Is possible that some clue may be obtained
in Alamance to tho murderers of Senator
Stephens. We learn that a great many men
have left the county.
A Novel Wedding. We learn from
The Roanoke Neics, of quite a novel wed
ding recently occurred in the lower
portion of that county. A negro man, en
Joying the youthful age of seventy-five, and
a sable female of a similar youthful ago of
seventy, conceived the idea that they would
like to enjoy their days in a married state.
The two, in the days of slavery, had lived
together as man and wife, and had a son
grown, xins son recenuy visntu uic wuait
house and obtained the license for his fath
er and mother to bo united. But, true love
never runs smooth, and in this instance the
couple was doomed to an accident that came
near preventing the fulfillment of their
youthful and ardent hopes just as the mar
riage ceremony was being commenced, the
sleepers of the house gave way, precipita
ting the whole party to the ground some
distance below ; but, fortunately, no bones
were broken, and, the scare being over, the
pair were at last united, and are now jour
neying through life's cares, hand in hand
giving a forcible example to the bachelors
and maids of the present day of ths utter
absurdity of single cussedness.
We wish the young couple a life of unal
loyed pleasure.
South Carolina Ku Klux. Tho jury
in the case of the United States vs. Robert
Hayes Mitchell, brought in a verdict of
.guilty. The Union, a' Republican daily,
says :
The verdict of the jury decided the ques
tion as to the existence of one of the most
foul and terrible conspiracies any age ever
witnessed ; the deeds of which,even the de
fense condemned in the strongest language.
The verdict of the jury was, - guilty on the
second count ; that is, guilty of a conspira
cy to injure and oppress Jim W llhams, be

1S70. The verdict in this case is ft virtual
decision of tho largo majority of tho ku
klux cases. The more serious crimes of
murder, burglary, fcc, cannot be tried, un
til the points involved in those cases have
been decided by the Supreme Court.
On Saturday the Grand Jury of the United
States Circuit Court returned a true bill
against Robert E. Cooper, Mrs. Mary Avery,
and others, for a conspiracy to hinder and

from testifying in the case of Dr. I dward

Southek Claims. Upon this subject,
The Washington Chronicle a&ys:
Tho Southern Claims Commissioners
have made their report to Congress. About
10.000 claims had been mea up io cim
of November, involving the aggregate sum
of 26y500,000. The amount to be filed, it Is
estimated, win reacn $ov,wu,wu, auu -tho

ten to twelve millions.
Tha amount annroved and recommenitoa
to be paid in this report is $344,163,20. ;
After the 1st of January the commission
ers will take up some two or three hunired
cases that I are all reaay ior awuuuu,
prepare them for the consideration of the
House committee, if the committee shall
desire them to be submitted during the
present session. Undr the law the com
missioners are allowed to make but one re
port daring the session, but it is s upposed
the law will be so changed as to allow other
and further reports. i . 0.o11
The amount thus far allowed is small.
But the Commissioners have had numer
ous difficulties to encounter. The greatest
difficulty, ! we presume, is to satisfy them
selves tas to the loyalty of applicants. ,
The temper of the Northern mind and of
Congress is such, at this time, owing to dis
order and violence in the South, that the
prospect of even loyal claimants to get what
is due them is not as good as could be de
