The delusive hope, held out that Greeley may be elected .is reviving the Ku Klux spirit by fyirtHe of which the Democrats car riedj thetate in 1870. The smoking erncers of the Ivlan which .were graa ually dying out under the enforcement of he Ku Klux law, have been raked together since Mr. Greeley consented to become the candidate of the Ku iviux for uresiaenuiindJire-P"11 '""y to burstTorthTinto a flame large enough to destroy civil liberty in every. South erri-State,. The issue now as in 1868, is ifteace or war. The success of the Democrats in August and the election of Ir. Greeley in November, will en surd the reorganization of the Ku KLUx ; liberty will vanish, and our couHs will become an engine of oppres siori, by which Ku Klux reek judicial vengeance on Republicans. The mob spirit so fiercely exhibited at Milton and Yanceyville erives but a fnt idea of the Slumbering Ku Klux volcano situated in everv Southern State: ready the moment Greeley is elected to send forth a lava of blood anil destruction ten-fold worse than all thp' outrages and murders heretofore conjmitted by the Klan. Unsuspect ing peoiile may think the Klan is en- There titely broken up. There never was a greater mistake. Ku Klux are play infpossum, and if the American peo ple ishoukl so far foro-et themselves and , i - - o - - - - - tlcir interests as to elect Greeley, the SoPjth would soon be the scene of an internecine war. Republicans will not suhmit any longer to Ku Klux vio lence! encouraged by Turner, Vance, Hill, and other Democratic - leaders, who are worse men than Shotwell, Ajnbs "Owen and others now in the .Penitc'ntiary at Albany; they will de fend themselves whenever attacked by tlje sworn, perjured allies of the Greeley Democracy ; and thus the sunny South w)ll be converted into a field of strife aiid bloodshed, equal and similar to that of Mexico. Such would be the effect of Merrimon's election in August arid" Greeley's election in November. -Iiop4ewiioesnpdace"tnid will work and vote against Merrimon and Greeley. Every interest of the country will be convulsed by Greeley's election. Therefore, put on your ar mbr and. defeat Greeley in North Car olina in August by defeating Merrimon arid the whole Democratic ticket. The police of North Carolina will be pre served by a Republican victory in Au gust.: Civil war, domestic violence, axaJ Ku Klux outrage will speedily follow the election of Merrimon and Greeley. The murder of Stephens, the hariffincr of Outlaw, the drowning of Pdrvear. the outrage on Justice, and thousands of other outrages and mur ders committed by the Ku Klux, will bef eclipsed by the Klan just as soon as J.1.L fa.A 1 "X""- Judffc Keconimcndation.

There are two sides to this question, both of which are equally damaging t o Judge Shipp. I: Judge 3hipp, as Attorney General and prosecuting officer of the State, re commended : that the indictments against Swepson be : dismissed, provid ed Swepsonlvould agree to pay back six cents . invJie dollar of the millions stolen mrrXthe 'State.SShIs'is' the US substantiate -oy the - recon com do oupenor jouix. To meet this charge Judge Shipp de clares that he did not act in his official capacity as Attorney General, but as an individual lawyer. This declaration falls to the ground wheii it is remembered that Judge Ship was Attorney General when he signed the recommendation, and that as such officer he was in charge of pros ecutions in which the State was inter ested. 1 II. Suppose Judge Shipp had not been Attorney General the fact that he recommended that indictments against Swepson be dismissed, provided Swep t , , . ... . son wduia agree to pay DacK six cents in the dollar of the millions stolen from the State, ih sufficient to damn him in the eyes of every man who desires that the Attorney General oftheStateshall be an outrage by pleading that the South is Comments of the Northern Press on the Outrages at Milton and ; Yanceyville, by the Ku Klux. - ' . Speaking of the attempt; to get up a riot at Milton and Yanceyville, for the purpose of murdering Judge Settle and Col. Henderson, and the rotten-egging of the American flag, The N. Y Times says : . . "Disgraceful as was the occurrence at YanceyvUle, N. C., it was only the natural result of the new courage which the ku klux have taken from Mr. Greeley's surrender to the Democracy. It is not singular that Judge Settle, the Republican candidate for Congress, was threatened, and would hare been assaulted but for his defiant attitude ; it is not strange that the American flag was outraged ; but it is incomprehensible why the Greeleyites did not proceed to wholesale murder. It will come to that before long, if they go on as they did in North Carolina the other day." t i Of the same outrages The N. Y. Tri bune, organ- of Mr. Greeley, says : " Caswell county, North Carolina, has not enjoyed a fortunate reputation of late years. Whether justly or not, it has been reported to maintain the irregular ruffiian band, ktaown as " Regulators," and to have heen formerly more or less troubled writh Ku Kluxism. The story, that Mr. Settle, w1h resided over the Philadelphia Convention, T'yis now canvassing- ine v in uistrici oi North" CarolinaTfl.Cpngressr-iUrtftfiPTi shamefully insulted- and threatened' by roughs in Caswell county is a plausible one, and finds credence among those who know anything of the locality. Of course, while the. Grant men are m a considerable minor- ity in the South, there will be some at tempts to obtain popular sympathy else where by exaggerating the boisterous dem onstrations of disfavor which are insepara ble from the political canvass everywhere. But the outrage said to have been perpe trated on Mr. Settle is circumstantially re ported, and seems to be one of those shame ful attacks on free speech which proceed from that spirit of ignorant lawlessness which inevitably grows up in a country under military rule, and which it must be the first duty of the restored civil Govern ment to repress and correct." The Times strikes the key-note of the condition of the Southern States. Tlie Tribune iustifies and excuses the officer U'ho will take care of the inter ests of the State, and see that she is not robbed with impunity, and an enor mous debt saddled upon the State for which the people will receive no benefit whatever. ; . We have endeavored to State both sides of the case ; the people will decide the matter at the ballot-box. We presume the gentlemen who a j -a t j !! A signea tne recommendation win not deny that they received two thousand dollars for their services. If they do, we should like to know it. under "military rule." Tribune and the Northern the South was comparatively Ike R. Strayhorn and ' John T. Ho- gan have been nominated by the Re publicans of Orange to represent that county in "the lower House of the next General Assembly. Both of them are ver-fceeHfro--we- hope- to see them elected by a handsome majority. We tell The people that quiet in the midst of the most violent of Ku Klux outrages to what it will be if Merrimon is elected in August and Greeley in November. The outrages at Milton and Yanceyville will be mul tiplied by the hundred, with deadly and'murderous effect. The election of Greeley and Brown isjust as dangerous to the continued peace of the Nation as the election of Seymour and Blair would have been. Who doubts that a violent, exterminating civil war would have followed the election of Seymour and Blair? Nobody, save fools. Those who flatter themselves that a better feeling will grow up and prosper under ; That L.ittle "Overdrawing." i Mr. James II. Moore and the whole Democratic party are unhappy because the Democratic Public, Printer was de tected in overcharging the State by using the letter m instead of the quad. em.y Maj. Hearne, as editor- of The Charlotte Despatch, published a receipt showing that the matter had been set tled, and the amount "overdrawn" re turned to the State Treasurer. ; Ndw, Mr. Moore says he lias not "refunded." We find the following record of the transaction in the Auditor's and Treas urer's offices; jThe j first is in these words and figures: I "3,338.59. , V , : : No. 255 State of North Cabolina, ! . Auditor's Office, : . " ; Raleigh, May 15, 1872. : To the Public Treasiirer : . ; . James II. Moore, former State Printer and Binder, will pay into the Treasury of North Carolina Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-eight 59-100 dollars for amount overdrawn by said Public Printer, &c, on work hitherto audited, by computing by the letter "m'f instead of , tho quad, "em."; ii., Adams, Auditor." Mr. T. N. Ramsay, the present State Printer, as agent of Mr. Moore, pre sented the above to the State Treasurer together with an Auditor's .warrant, and received the following receipt, viz:, "NO. 169.' ; . " ' V Treasury Department of N. C, -J, ; , Raleigh, May"l5, 1572. Received of James II. Moore,, former State Printer and Binder, the sum of Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty eight 59-1000 Dollars, for amount overdrawn by said State Printer, &c, on work hereto fore done and audited, by computing by letter m instead of quad, em, as per state ment of Auditor. D. A. Jenkins, State Treasurer. Per D. W. Bain, Ch'f Clerk." Now, we don't see any use for Mr. Moore or any one else to squirm any further about the "overdrawing." A committee of practical printers have certified to the Legislature that the State Printer had "overdrawn;" the General Assembly itself acknowledged that their State Printer had "over drawn," and ordered him to refund, and he ; has done so, and the record shows that the amount "overdrawn" has been refunded. Its no use for Mr. Moore to say that he has not refunded, and that no such receipt as the above was given by any one in the Treasury to any one connec ted with The Sentinel office. It can be proven by gentlemen whose veracity has not and cannot be questioned. The Ieiiiocratic Address of Marcli, ::: 187,l.j ' IU In Marcli 1871 j one hundred and six of the Democratic members of tho Leg islature signed a solemn address to the people of North Carolina, from whieh we extract tho following;, , . , ; ''Therois ono "overwhelming considera tion to which wo invito particular attention, and which of itself renders tho call of a Con vention, . in our opinion, an imperative necessity.

Democrats know they cannot carry this State except by in timidation and fraud. By such means they were enabled to carry the State in 1870. They are now using the same means and hope to cary the State again next month. The refusal to denounce in the strongest j terms t he outrages at Milton and Yanceyville, gotten up for the purpose of murdering Judge Settle and Col. Henderson, is proof conclusive Cook, R. K.

Levy this ruinous tax. 2. Resign our in he Logisla scats ture; or, 3. Perjure ourselves. Tne people took: tne three proposi tions into consideration. They knew that no one of these men would dare vote to levy the tax. They could 'not believe that men, whom they had hon ored with seat3 in the Legislature, would place themselves before jthe people of the State as confessed pur- jurers. They saw, tnereiore, a lair op- that The News and Sentinel approve the p0rtunity to get rid of the One lltw Four Ballot Boxes.. . ! (The sixteenth section of" an act con cerning the election and registration in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two," is as follows : j f See. "16. The State officers, viz: Govern or, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, Superintendent of Public Works, and Attorney General, shall be voted forbn one bafl.gt.5 -;Tho members of Congress for their respective districts, shall be voted for on one ballot. The members of the General Assembly for their respective counties and districts shall be voted for on one ballot. The county officers, viz : Treas urer, liegister or lieetis, surveyor, nve Commissioners, Coroner, and Sheriff, shall bd voted for on one ballot. The ballots shall be on white paper, and maybe printed or written; or. partly written or partly printed, and without device." j Every voter should be familiar with this section. Voters should be careful to deposit their ballots in the right box. Ballots deposited in the wrong box will not be counted. Reg istrars and inspectors of the election should see to it that every ballot is de posited in the right box. conduct of. their Ku Klux supporters. The people will not endorse such con duct by placing the Democrats in power in this State. We are sadly mistaken7 if the Ku Klux attempt to murder at Mifion and Yanceyville, does not elect Judge Settle by an overwhelming majority. Will Hon. Mr. Leach denounce the action of his friends?. He will. not; ho dare not. He expects the vote of every Ku Klux in his district. Lfhe should denounce their conduct at Mil ton and Yancey ville, their attempt to murder Judge Settle and Col. Hender- dred and Six, .who had already dis graced themselves and the State by their infamous proceedings in tho Leg islature, up to that time. j i So, the people refused " to come to the rescue," and voted down the, Con vention, by nearly ten thousand major ity ; and then, patiently waited for the resignation of the One Hundred and Six that they might fill their places with better men. But the One Hun dred and Six had a choice between the three propositions. , They dared not levy the tax. They could not bear the excruciating thought of resigning ' son, the rotten-egging of the American They chose rather to place themselves before the public as confessed purjurers, and they did it without a blush say- ing, behold us!
