Ex-Senator Doolittle told his audi ences at Raleigh, Greensboro', Concord Fayetteville, that every man . who votes the Republican ticket in Augus and November, will be paid by the National government for all losses he sustained by reason of the war. Democrats never tell anything but the. truth. The payment of such losses will enrich the South many millions. We hope Mr. Doolittle is a true prophe Greeley's Endorsement of the Ku Klux Law. In The Semi- Weekly Tribune, October 10th, 1872, appeared the following : f The Cincinnati Commercial allows a Cor respondent to say, without rebuke, that I Jr. Greeley objects to Gen. Grant because of the law giving military protection to' citi zens and voters securing the purity of the ballot-Vox." "As the exact opposite of the above, quo ted assertion is a truth of the widest notoii ety, wo marvel that one ignorant in tin premises could obtain acccess to the. col umns of a respectable journal.

After deceiving the ignorant and poor boys into the infamous conspiracy, and then skulking out themselves and leaving the boys to punishment, their families to distress, the leaders are now trying to rally their followers to a re newal of crimes and to further ruin. There seems to be no limit to the base ness and heartlessness of these Kuklux leaders. They know that Mr. Greeley will not dare to pardon the Kuklux if he is elected. There is no chance of his election. They j well know that any renewal of violence or even demon stration in the present elections in this State, would indicate still more trouble in the November elections, and that fciiviv,tvtv,viufavTviiimvK i wuju.

It is reported that on the '18th Mr. man, JUthan Alien, tele graphed to this city, to a notorious person, "it is important that you go to North Carolina at once," and author ized the person to .draw on him for "what money you want." Will Mr. Greeley's man please explain under which of Boss Tweed's fraudulent con tracts this money is raised? No won der now why The Tribune so long shielded the "Boss and: his gang." Now will be a good time to publish some more lies about the Administra tion sending money to North Carolina.

These leaders further know, that those who are now under prosecution, would be dealt mildly with, if thegovernment becomes satisfied that no further vio lence or demonstration is to be appre hended. But, if the advice of Vance and others is heeded by their, dupes, We take the following from 2 he Wash ington Republican of the 24th : If we may believe a Washington dispatch in' The New York Times, a plot nas been ue tected in this city to do a little ballot box stuffing in North Carolina on the Tammany plan.

It was from there that a band of armed assas sins went to Chester, in South Carolina, to aid the Kukjux. It was there that the Governor of South Carolina was publicly insulted at a hotel table. The latest demonstration was made on the night of the 24th inst., against Gov. Harriman, of New Hampshire, who repaired to the place appointed to make a political address.

In 1 the meantime the Mayor and other city officials stood by, either unable or unwilling to suppress the mob. It is with regret that we chronicle this disgraceful. outrage. But we tell the people of Charlotte that thase infa mous outrages must stop. Their city has already become a by-word all over the country a synonym for cowardly meanness and . it can only be rescued by a resolute effort on the part of its better citizens to drive such men as constituted the mob the other night, as well as their abettors, into disgrace and oblivion. : An American city into which a respectable citizen cannot go and express publicly or privately his political opinions without molestation, is rapidly traveling the road to the ruin which it deserves. - We call on the people of Charlotte to remove this foul blot from their record, so that the city may regain its ancient character, al though they may not entirely erase the spots from its tarnished fame. If you want strife and high taxes, bad feeling and Ku Kluxism: , vote for 1 Merrimon and the Democratic ticket. lowine editorial columns: " We place to-day the Presidential ticket of the Republican party at the head of our editorial columns, and hereby declare that we shall support that ticket at-the impend ing Presidential election. This declaration will not surprise those who have watched the attitude of The New Yorker Demokrat during the past few weeks. 1 : The reasons which induce us to advocate the election of the Republican candidates are simple and easily understood by everybody that does not want to misunderstand them. We be lieve, in so doing,: we fulfill our duty to the party, or, to speak more correctly, to the principles which The New Yorker Demokrat has consistently supported since it passed into the hands of present proprietor the principle of Republicanism, as they have been laid down since the foundation of the great National Republican party in itsva rious platforms. " If The New Yorker Demokrat for more than a year past has felt obliged to deci dedly oppose many acts of the Grant ad ministration, it Avas owing to our faithfu and consistent adherence to those principles of the Republican party, and only because we believed the conduct of the administra tion io be at variance with them. From the same point of view we hailed the rise and the surprising growth of the ' Liberal Republican movement with joy and hope, expecting, as we did, in common with thou sands of the best patriots, that it would lead to the regeneration of the Republican party and to its fusion with the best ele ments of the Democracy. The unexpected results ' of the Cincinnati Convention, and the events following in its wake, which were fitly crowned -by, tho nomination of one of the founders and oldest leaders of the Republican party by the regular Demo cratic National Convention, and its ready and zealous advocacy by those adherents of the democracy who have forfeited all claims to public confidence, have utterly destroyed alii expectations and hopes of a great na tional and truly Republican reform party, and now, two months and a half after the failure of the reform movement, we are face to. face with, an entirely different state of affairs. ... ., . - . , . "The . democratic party, as such, tries hard to obtain control of the national affairs, in a manner and through an instrument, the novelty of which justifies the apprehen sion that there is serious danger ahead. fjnder these cirenmstances we can not but deem it incumbent upon all' adherents of the Republican party to rally once more :firrrily and resolutely round, the old party flag, and to unite in supporting the Presi dential, ticket nominated by the regular Re publican convention at Philadelphia. ; : "In ! recommending! this course to our readers we follow,' as always, our best con victions, although in so doing we cannot repress the wish that a different course of events might have permitted us to act otherwise.

No element of our population as yet displays more activity in the Presiden tial campaign than the Germans. The German Tammany leaders, who, after the disastrous overthrow ot tho ring In November Lis t, disappeared from puln-lic-view, are -making extraordinary efforts- to reorganize tho old German . Tammany clubs, but have hitherto met with but very indifferent success. Hav ing been challenged by their Republi can opponents to produce the original of the address which Governor Hoff man presented at Baltimore, and which he said was signed by fifteen thousand German voters of New York, they have hitherto observed a suspicious silence, and even tho potent I voice of the Staats-Zeittmg &.xu the damaging charges which it preJerred against tho Governor in regard to the address, havo thus far not elicited any reply from him. It is now belie vod that no such address as the ono presented at Baltimore was circulated among the; Germans at all, but that the signatures were those which the Germans- several years ago appended to a protest against tlie exciso law, and that they were pasted on a declaration in favor, of Greeley and , BrownAt any, rate, nothing can bo more certain than that a majority of the German vote of NowYtJ2l will not be cast" fuFlhe Cmclimati Baltimore ticket.' , The German press of the city is now unanimously against Greeley and Browri, with the exception of The Neio Yorker Journal, 'which in 1871 defended Tweed and the ring. to the end, and which has not recovered the circulation and the influence which it lost at that time. The StaatS'Zeitwig, the organ of the great mass of the Ger man population,is as strenuous in its de nunciation of the Greeley ticket as ever, Tlie Demokrat the new Republican, Oestliche iW, the widely-circulated Criminal-Zeitungi and The Abend-Zei tung are all earnestly advocating' tho . election of Grant and Wilson.' Never before, in the political history of this city, had a Democratic Presidential ticket so many formidable adversaries in the German press of New York, as the one nominated at Cincinriati and Baltimore. The consequences; of j this state of affairs have already jbceomo quite apparent. The German , ward and district clubs have never been in a more flourishing condition, never had more accessions from the Democratic ranks, and never held larger and more enthusiastic meetings than at the pres ent time; while the German "Liberal" Kepublican clubs show but little ac tivity and vitality. New York Post. How Republicans Iteerard Law lessness. 1 1 How Republicans are disposed regard lawlessness, whether among friends or foes, is indicated by . the Srompt action of tlie Commissioner in orth Carolina, in the case of the col ored Republicans who assaulted the marshal of a Greeley assemblage. We trust that the same spirit will be dis played to the end. Blacks, as well as whites, should be made to realize that freedom to express and vote one's opinions is the Indefeasible right of every American citizen. Any attempt to intimidate by. violence should be at once put down by the strong; arm of the law, backed if need the, I by the whole power of the Government. Washington Chronicle. ; j j ; !
