'.'. 4 '' - Vance Attempts to Rally the Ku ; Klux. The News of this city reports that Gov. Vance said at Newton, Catawba county, on the 17th, that' he was in formed by Reverdy Johnson, that the U. S. Supreme Court had declared the Ku Klux law unconstitutional in one of the South Carolina cases. This de claration is false, and was made for the purpose of rallying the Ku Klux of Catawba and other Western counties. Vance and his cohorts of treason and Ku Kluxism know they are beat en unless they can call into play their great ally the Ku Klux hence vance senonatxNewcon. weieutne Ku Klux that the eyes of the U.

Capiases have been issued and these men will be arrested and held for trial. Republicans are no longer afraid of Ku Klux. They, have sub mitted to the outrages of disguised sassins in the interest of the Democratic party, until forbearance . has ceased to be a virtue. From -this time, the Re publicans of this State are determined to maintain their freedom. They will not commit a breach of the peace, but they will defend themselves whenever attacked, let the consequences be what they may. Turner and Vance would like to have the Ku Kl ox- ride the night before the election, but they dare not do it Members of . the Klan are known to the officers of the law, and the first move that is made, will be I squelched by filling the jails with ev- erv man eneaffed in violating the law. . Vance will try to rally hia Kri Klux friends wherever he speaks, but trying willbe all. The poor wool hat boys will no longer be made tools of to ad- vance the Interests of the old slave oli- garchy. They were deceived into the war and into the Ku Klux Klan ; but they have turned their backs upon Vance and his cohorts, and will be freemen hereafter. f the result in North Klux evident, ludicrous and altogether tnorpe is also, responsi Die tor I The Democratic Failure Grand fanatical SDectacled oreacher. named Tinton 2 another from Vlnmli.' named wiS ' tf ' iT Walker, and, thj- colored men, who nihns. filled with Tt-Iao- Iowvan and 0id, spavined political hacks, a half- dozen carriages, and a few stragglers on foot, escorted by a corps of marshals, fxrn of whom wm-a rnlnrpd. ridinsr be- nmd pn a pair of bob-taUed, brindle- colored nags, in solitary communion and amidst general contemDt and de- rision, repaired to Mordecai's grove, i where the norators mounted tne stanu, U k yin m rfose to Gov.

'fThis is "a confessionof the terrible rebuke ana.tliscomfture which" Swfpson's caudidto.recei.yejl at tlie hands of the Senator.

What does he say of the deception of trying to palm off on the people, for the cor- respondence, a projenqeu puuiicaiuui of tho whole, when the .last and most ,!, important letter is left out? But that is done m Ins own interest, and seems, doubtless, very comely in his eyes." This ' mean, trick smells so! strongly bf Swepson that we. must suspect "it was suggested by him. Swepson has Spocketed 'the money which j-hp. stole from the State Treasury" under hills carefully drawn by Mcrrinionysvery much in the same style that the Int letter of Senator Pool is. now pocketed by those who advocate thcxitaetioii ofi Swepson's candidate ior governor. - The Test of Honesty.'

Charges Against Judges Merrimon The Homestead. Speaking of the charges made tl i rough The Era against the Democratic nom inee Tor Governor, . The Southern Home says we falsely ... , V Charged that Judge Merrinion vn opposed to the Homestead, when it knew that he had published -.a card in ! I'he Tile- . gram, of Raleigh, expressed liiw apjrovnl f tne iiomesteaa." We know all about the card, but the Judge opposed the" adoption of the present Constitution and used all his influence to prevent the people from having the benefit ot the Ilomestt-.id proyision.' Again : The Judge was highly elated when Judge Brooks de cided that tho Homestead was uncon stitutional so far as old debts were eon-. cerned, and congratulated the Judge on a return to good old times. Again : The Judge was counsel in a case which involved the constitutionality of the Homestead. I The Homestead was de-" clared retrospective t and the Judgo.Iast his case.' His chagrin was' so great that he endeavored to raise money to carry the case to tie U. S. Supreme Court hoping that tho Homestead Would be declared unconstitutional.. Such are Judge Merrinion' acts to- wards the Homestead. He savs he is in favor of a Homestead, but he bus never said that he sustains .the Home stead decision of our Sunr erne Court. Will he write a card and say that he does ? Therefore, until Judire Merri- m on announces - that ho sustains, up- holds, and is opposed to interfering- with the Homestead decision, our charcre is proven, and xvo. hnrw nor-iin ! that Judge Merrimon and his party are' ultJ enemies oi ine uomestead. , .
