''DIsLoYAL SENTIMENT PROMPTLY
REBUKED.-The Hon. Freeman Clark
peremptorily ordered Governor Pierpont
of Virginia to leave his Office at the
Treasury on accountof uttering disloy-
al sentiments. The language used in
part was: We people of the South never
will submit to being taxed to pay the
Union war debt. We never will stand
it, Sir, etc."
The above appeared in the New York
Tribune's special Washington dispatch
of the 18th inst. Freeman Clark, by a
subordinate in his Office, procured the
above statement to be made. Itc0ntains
two gross falsehoods. First: Freeman
Clark did not order Governor Pierpoint
ofVirginia to leave his Office. Second:
Governor Pierpoint did not say, ave
people of the South never will submit to
being taxed to pay the Union war debt.
We never will stand it Sir"
Both statements are grossly false
Freeman Clark knew them to be false
when he procured them to be published.

jOting Under Bayonets.

At the Polls in this town, on Thurs
day last, were stationed with fixed bay
onets, four soldiers, two in such close
proximity to the ballot box, that every
voter as he approached, was completely
at the military mercy. There was no
more necessity for this display of mill
tary force at the Polls, in order to pre-
vent violence on the part of the voters,
than there is fora similar display, to
prevent disturbance in our worshipping
congregations on the Sabbath. The men
who secured this military presence
among us, did it, to deter citizens from
voting and they now eXult over the sue
cess Of their deception and falsehood.
By this measure and by the lying dis
patches sent to Gen. Emory and else
where, the town has been disgraced and
its prosperity checked.
The New era. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1865-1871, 1865-11-02
Shameful.

Never was there witnessed official con-
duet more humilating to honest Ameri-
can citizens, than that of certain officers
who presided at the Polls in this town.
While such citizens as DIR. Boyd PEN
dleton, who, during his whole life, has
been a resident here, and whose charac-
ter as a gentleman and loyal man stands
as high as that of any one in the county
or State, were challenged and forced to
take the test oath before they could
vote, others, who had resided in the
State but few months and some of
whom are known to have been traded
with the rebels, and always ready to
show rebel or loyal colors, as interest
dictated, were permitted to deposite their
ballots unquestioned. The latter class
voted the Radical ticket. Some of theil
names, with biographical sketches, VIZ
propose to give hereafter.
The New era. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1865-1871, 1865-11-02

other tribunal,-but the pusillanimity
and want of honor displayed by him,
when the gentlemen arrested were re-
leased, was humiliating to our common
humanity. Those who witnessed the
miserable spectacle will never forget it,
and will find it difficult to entertain
hereafter any sentiment but that Of SUI
preme contempt for the chief actor in
the scene.
A few hours after the above occurren-
ces, Captain Nolan, A. A. G. of General
Emory's staff, and Captain Jones, COM
manding at Harper's Ferry, arrived in
town. Both of these officers, after in
vestigating the facts, gave it as their
by the improper and unauthorized use
of the military in making arrests, and
Captain Nolan telegraphed to General
Emory that there was no foundation for
the reports sent him that there was inn
minent danger of a bloody riot.
Lieut.. Myers, on Saturday last, was
placed under arrest by order of Gen aral
Emory, and now awaits his trial. We
understand the charges preferred against
him are for disobedience of orders, in
making arrests, and in placing soldiers
at the polls. 1t is entirely proper that
this young lieutenant should be discip-
lined, for his disregard of the instruc-
tions given him by his superior officers,
but the principal guilt attaches to the
civil authorities who, by their false rep
reservations, deceived this officer, and
urged him on to acts dishonorable to the
military service, and violative of the
dearest rights of American citizenship.
The following is the bill referred to
above, published by the gentlemen ar
rested

Are ace to haze Better Order IN our
Torn?


Torn?
When our corporation authorities en-
tered upon the discharge of their duties,
some weeks ago, we had every reason to
believe that new stats of things was to
be inaugurated. Many of us felt the
hand of oppression, in their Jealous eff
forts to improve the condition of the
town. Though we were ready to make
some sacrifices, and suffer some incon-
veniences, if such things were necessary
for the general good of the town.
We have seen oyster saloons, bar
rooms, and other places of business,
punctually closed at nine O'Clock, p. NJ,
daily. We have seen private residences
watched by some of our Jealous func-
tionaries, and gentlemen arrested and
fined for being shaved, gratuitOusly, by
barber, in a private house, on Sunday.
Men have been arrested for smoking
segars in front of a church in the even
ing, and other foolish things enacted for
the preservation of quiet and good order
among our citizens. Yet, with all this,
at the very time when we write this ar
ticle, gentlemen are afraid to walk the
streets OF our town after nightfall. We
wish to know if our corporation author
tiles are going to allow this state OF
things to continue, without making the
slightest effort to improve it?
Some days ago, while the fair was
being held at the Episcopal Church, "a
crowd Of men and boys assembled in
front Of the church, and INDUCED in the
most insulting and indecent language,
threw stones, bricks and eggs into the
building, and broke the doors and VIM
dows, alleging at the time, that cit was
Id rebel concern" No arrests We're
made. The affair occurred within a
stones throw OF the residence of the town
sergeant, and several Of the officers We're
informed Of what was going on, yet
nothing WAS done to put d stop to il.
\ few evenings ago, Il large fire was
built in the public square, endangering
q dozen houses in the vicinity; pistols
We're fired, and the most disgraceful Ian
guage INDUCED in. Private property
was taken from merchants and others,
and not Il single officer Of the corporation
appeared to prevent the thing.
\ party was being held on the even
ing Of the 9th. \ crowd Of men and
boys assembled around the house, built
a fire on the street, in front of the build
ing, put ladders t. the windows Of the
house, broke in the windows, threw
stones among the persons dancing,
cursed and insulted those in the hall,
and disturbed and insulted them in ev-
cry conceivable way. Nothing was
done by our officers to quell the disturb
ance, or to arrest the guilty parties.-
The consequence was, one very worthy
young man was shot. Had the author
tiles done their duty, theaeeident would
never have occurred.
The present condition of affairs cannot
continue. If the men filling the offices
are not able to do their sworn duty, let
them resign, and Others take their places.
If they continue to hold their offices, and
fail to do their duties better in the future,
the people must take the law into their
hands and protect themselves and their
property, as well as they know how.
