State Democratic Caucus,
The annual caucus of the Demo

tate Agricultural Fair, will be held
in this city in October. With that
spirit of proscription which charac
terizes them, tho managers of the
Society have excluded Republicans
from all Dositions connected With
the fair. We believes three Republi
cans have been selected for some Iit-
aces. .;
The Marshals are young lawyers
and representatives of certain fami
lies. We ask tho intelligent hard
working farmers to. look over the
list of Marshals arid see how man v
of their sons hae been appointed
to 14 don tho sash, and rido the met
tled steed," at the exhibition which
is designed to take in the simple
tiller of the soil, and afford a splen
did opportunity for the Ku Klux
leaders to strut around and be ad
mired by the men who turn the
furrow. .
Major Hearne and Ithurief.
We do not believe that Major
Hearne, the editor of the Sentinel,
is tho author of the letter in tho
Baltimore Gazette, signed "Ithu-
itiEii." The remark commonly
made about him that he will write
political matter on either side, we
presume his past history justmes.
But we are disposed to think he
Will only advocate one side at a
time. Wo do not believe that he
has yet become' so lost or abandoned
as to write in the interest of both
parties during the same campaign.
We do not think the circumstance
that many of the ideas in "Ithu-
riel's" letter have been lately ex-
pressed by Major, liearne, is ,con
vincing proof that he is that myste
rious, personage. .We do not be
lieve either that Senator Merrimon
.wrote the letter-
Tho charge that a ..BepttMIcnJs
1 f 4 1. 1 nit. nUSnk Vino I
the author of the letter which has
caused so much excitement among
the Democrats of Raleigh, is simply
absurd. The Gazette is one of the
most extreme Democratic papers in
the country. The excitement in
Baltimore about " Ithuriel " is
about as intense as it is in Raleigh.
The Gazette of Monday says :
Ve print to-day two more com-
mnnications on the
situation in
North Carolina. A
writer from
Warrenton, Va., disputes "Ithu
riei's" statements, and asks what
good it can do to spread such things.
We have only to say that the Ga
zette aims to be a live newspaper,
and that communications upon
news topics and the live issues of
the day generally are always wel
come to its columns. We are, how
ever, in no way responsible for
S pinions expressed by correspon
ents." The opinions of the Gazette.
always timely and well defined, are
to be founu on our euuonai page.
Finally, wti have to say that we be
lieve in telling tho truth at all times
and under all circumstances. The
good will take care of itself.

DITT' OF FEDERAL OFFICERS.
Wasoinqtox, Sept. 4,
The following was referred to General
Sherman for his guidance by the Secret
tary of War and i transmitted to United
States Marshals for their government:
- Sir The laws of the TJuitod States
having made It iny duty to exercise
general direction over Marshals in the
manner of discharging their offices, I
have prepared for their , use this circu
lar letter of instructions as to tho com
ing elections, intending the same also
as a reply once for all to -mi merons ap
plications in like connections from pri
vate citizons in various States.
In the present condition of legislation
the United States occupv a iKsition to
wards voters and voting ' which 'varies
according as tho election is for State
and other local oUlcors- on! v.- nr fnr
members of Concrress and Prcsidflntial
- . w ml m ' w
Electors. In elections at which rnfim-
bers of the House of Renreseutati
are chosen, which by law include also
elections at which the FIector fnr
President and Vico-Presidont aro an-
pointed, tho United States secures vo
ters against whatever in general hinders
or prevents them from a ireo exorcise
of the elective franchise, extending that
care alike to the 'registration lists, the
act of voting and the personal freedom
and security of the voter, at all times,
as well against violence, on account of
any vote that he may intend to give,
as against conspiracy because of
any that he may already have given.
The peace of the United States, there
fore, which, you are to preserve and
whose violation you are to siiDnrass.
protects, among others, the rights spec
ified in the last paragraph, and auv ner-
son.who by force violates those rights.
breaks that paragraph, and renders it
your duty to arrest him, and suppress
any riots incident or that threaten the
integrity. of the registration or jpiHitUv
far .lMrruT-CU&t t. will of tltO TJ6OD10 HI
such election may bo ascertained, and
take effect, and that offenders may be
brought before the f courts for punish
ment;. .;',:-..,, r. . , ,. .
Notorious events in several States
which recently and in an unusual man
ner have - been: publicly Teprobated,
render it a grave duty of all Marshals
who have cause to apprehend a viola
tion of the peace of the United States
connected as above with the elections
to be held upon the Tuesday after first
Monday in November next, to 1 be pre
pared : to preserve and to restore such
peace. As the Chief Executive officer
of the United States in your District
you will be held responsible for all
breaches of the peace of the United
Slates which diligence on your part
might fiave prevented and for the arrest
and securing of all persons who violate
that peace in any of the points above
enumerated. Zi licence in these mat
ters requires of course that you be, and
continue present in person or by dep
uty at all places of registration or elec
tion at which you have reason to sus
pect that the peacois threatened; and
that whenever an embodiment of the
posse comiiatus is required to enforce
the law, such embodiment bo effected.
You will observe that the "special'
deputies mentioned in section 2,021, of
the revised statutes, have peculiar du
ties assigned to them, duties ; which
otherwise do not belong to deputy
Marshals. Such "special" deputies can
be appointed only in cities of twenty
thousand inhabitants or upwards ; but ;
the duties assigned to Marshals and
their deputies by section 2,022, or other
like statutes, belong to all duly ap
pointed deputieVwhether they bo gen
eral or be specie., within the meaning
of that and the preceding section. Dep
uties to discharge this latter clauso of
duties may be appointed to any num
ber whatever, according to tho discro- (
tion of tho Marshal, in all States in
which Sheriffs have a similar power.
Section 2,030 has no. practical bearing
upon this point in States where no limit
is imposed upon tho appointment of
deputien hy : sheriffs.Iena.uie;:iri-iaicliL
States the laws of the U uitcd States
"prior to the 10th of Juno, 1J72, loft
Marshals also unlimited as to the num
ber of their deputies,0
In discharging the duties alove given,
you will doubtless receive the counten
ance and support of all good citizens of
the Uuited States, Q your respective
districts. - It is not neceasary that it is
upon such countenance and support
that the United. States mainly rely in
their endeavor to, enforce the right to
voto which they have given or have se
cured. The present instructions aro in
tended only to counteract thatf partial
malice, wrong-bead odnuas or inconsld
cration which sometimes . triumphs at
critical moments over the conservative,
and in general, prevailing forces of so
ciety, and to which the present and
passing condition or the country gives
more than ordinary strength, and there
fore requires tho government parucu
"special have a right to summon u
you assistance iu preventing and quelle
ing disorder, "every person in the dis
trict above fifteen years of age, : what?
ever may be the occupation, whether

are organized as militiry bodies,whethcr
of theStateorof theUnited States.under
the immediate command of their own
officers, does not in any wise affect their
legal character-they are still the posse
colnilatiis." I prefer to quota the above
statement of tho law upon thm point
from an opinion of my predecessor, Attorney-General
Cushing, because it thus
appears to haye been well settled for
larly to preserve ana pnviu aga'UM.
Iu this connection I advise that yon
atwi vnrli of vour deputies, general and
no State law or Stato official in this
county who lias jurisdiction to oppose
you in discharging your official duties
under the laws of the Unite! States. If
such interferenco should take place a
thing not anticipated you aro to disre
gard itentirely. The lawsof theUnited
States are supreme, and so, consequent
ly,, is the action of officials of the UniU d
States in enforcing them. There is (as
Virtually you have been toldjnopillccr
of a Stato whom ybumay not, by sum
mons, embody iu your own jxmsc, aiMl
any State posse already embodied hv a
tnieriffwin,Avithsuchhorirr,beobllgetli
upon your summons, to become: a: nart
jf a United States posse; and Obey you
or vour uenuiv acuu? virtu r
. The responsibility which devolvfs
porrtinT)lccr clothed Vith uch
era, and required to guard tho highest
riguc or citizens, corresponds' in degree
with those powers and rights, ami ex
acts of such officer consideration, intel
ligence and courage. , - .
It is proper to advise you thai in pre
paring this circular I have considered
recent important judgments 'given by
the Supreme Court of the United States
upon the acts of Congress which regu
late this general topic, - ;, ; :
I have founded thoabovo instructions
upon those acts as affectcl bv kucIi
judgments, aiid I need in this place mid
uo more man uiac ui&so judguionls da
not concern elections for Federal offices.
You will find appended, in full or bv
reference, such statutory oro visions a"
it seems important that you and your
deputies shall in this connection read
and consider. .
In matters of doubt Vau aro of com-si
entitled to the advice of the ITniti
Stotes attorney for your district.
Those instructions have boon submit.

prqval.
