The New Rebellion.

The new rebellion has already been COM
menced, which was threatened by Frank
Blair and the Fort Pillow butcher Bands of
armed Kuklux are rowing the Southern
States, dragging from their houses, nightly,
Union men and negroes, whom they shoot
and hunt down like wild beasts. They boast
that they intend to rid the South of every
Radical or carpet bagger," term they
apply to all Republicans, by either driving
them out or numbering them before the cleo
ton. Forrest threat tens to 8" foot his horn ~
again, and boasts that there are $4,000 Ku-
klux armed and fully equipped in Tennessee,
and that there are even greater numbers in
some of the Southern States. The new re-
bellion, which Blair threatened, has already
begun, and every breeze from the South
comes laden with the shrieks of its victims.
The leaders now are the same men who
opened the conflict in 81, by firing on Fort
Sumter, all leading men of the Democratic
party. Can the honest people pause, in this
hour of danger, to deliberate to which party
they will adhere? Will they not rather fall
into the ranks, as they did in 1861, and
" Rally round the Flag" under Grant, and
by swelling his majori;ies, nip this new re-
bellion in the bud, and insure permanent
peace and prosperity to the country?

to Registration.

The Registrars of this county give notice
in the last Democrat, that they will attend
in their offices, from O clock, AM, until
6 o'clock, PM, on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, the 2lst, 22d and Odd of this
month, for the purpose Of registering voters,
making transfers Of the same, &c. The fol-
lowing is summary of duties:
The Registration act of 1868 makes many
important changes, and provides that it shall
be the duty of Registrars at the time and
place published by said officers of Registra-
ton, they shall proceed to strike from the
list of qualified voters the names of all per-
sons known, or made known to them, who
have died or removed from the ward or cleo
ton district or have become disqualified I'M
der the provisions of the Second and Third
Sections of the Constitutions, and to deliver
to any person applying whose name appears
on the said list of qualified voters, certif-
cate of Registration, and to strike from the
Books of Registration the name of said
dead, removed or disqualified persons, and
for what cause under the Constitution and
Laws of this State, as the case may be, and
to register the name of every male white
person who shall apply to said officers to be
registered as qualified vote, or before the
day of election next ensuing, will possess
the requisite constitutional qualifications of
age, citizenship and residence, and is not
disqualified under the provisions of the sec
ond and third sections of the first Article
of the Constitution.
There are three classes of voters who will
be DISTINGUISHED, if they do not register in
the short space of three days allowed by the
law for this purpose. First, those who have
become of age since the last election. Sec
ondly, those who have removed from other
Counties or other States into this County,
and have acquired legal residence here
And lastly, those who have removed from
one district to another in the County
Those classes will probably embrace several
hundred voters, of whom it may safely be
predicted, that at least one third, in conse-
quence of sickness, absence or want of
knowledge. will be disfranchised at the en-
suing Presidential Election by this Infamous
Democratic Registry law. But as this can
not now be remedied. it is the duty of every
friend of Grant and Colfax to find out such
Republicans in his neighborhood as are not
registered and urge them to do so. Re-
member the time MONDAY, and TUES
DAY and WEDNESDAY, THE 21st 22d
AND 23d OF THIS MONTH!

MURDERS NEAR BOWLING GREEx-ARsoN
IN A SHAKER SETTLEMENT-A WARMING
Bo~ling Green, Ky, September THE mur-
derous Rebels of the Kuklux Klan are more
active, defiant and aggressive in this part of the
State than ever before. In many cases thew
have ceased to threaten and entered upon the
work of murder outright, boldly entering the
houses of citizens who were Union men during
the war, and who are suspected of entertaining
Republican feelings now, and numbering them
in cold blood On saturday night they sunoud
ed Glasgow Williams house, and as he would
not obey their summons they forced all entrance
and killed him i'll presence of his wife while she
was on her knees begging them to spare his life.
MIR. Williams was Union soldier duripp the
war and had proclaimed his intention to vote
for his old commander. After the disguised
outlaws had murdered him, still thirsting for
Union blood they, went to the cabin of an inof
fensive negro who had also served in the Union
army, and takeing him out hanged him under a
tree until he was dead. On Friday night the
same miscreants made an attack upon a settle
ment OF Shakers, and wreaked their vengeance
by burning to the ground their large mill and
and wooen factory. These Shakers it need
not be added, are an inoffensive community.
who have always been loyal to the Government
The Rebel Democracy have resolved if possible
to expel them from Kentucky soil Their loss
by this diabolical incendiarism is $3.50 OOO.-
The Kuklux Klan have warned all citizens in
this part of Kentucky who were in the Union
army that they must quit tho State, the penalty
OF remaining until the day of election being
death.

ARKANsAs.-The following is extracted from
letter from Arkansas, also addressed to the Re-
publican Congressional Committee:
In the large counties, where the Republicans
are in the majority, they resort to sophistry,
persuation, and lying. In the counties where
the rebels are largely in the majority, a system
of assassination has unquestionably been agreed
upon and is being carried out Two members
ofthe State Senate have escaped from an at
tempted assassination. both severly wounded. -
One member of the lower House was brutally
murdered. All this within the last few DAVIS
Negroes are being shot down like dogs in many
of the counties, and loyal men in several local
tiles sleep in the forest instead of their houses
In fact, murder, riot, and intimidation are boldly
advocated and practiced in many portions of the
State, fully equal to the terrorism of 1861. It
is not political excitement it is hellish rebel
lion in its worst form. The Democrats have
their secret kuklux organizations in every town,
and are making every possible effort to arm
their men thoroughly We have every reason
to believe that large proportion of them are
already well armed. In many localities they
parade the streets in masks, and deliver volleys
into the houses of Union men. They order them
from their houses with the Injunction that if
they return they will pay the penalty with their
lives, for they are determined no Radical shall
live in Arkansas. They are rife for Il rebellion
that would be far more terrible in its conse
quences than the war we have lust passed
through, for they and mean determination -
The match is already lighted, and may be ap-
piled at any time.

The WILMINGTON CoNFERENCE.-A cor
respondent of the New York Methodist speaking
of the New Wilmington Conference, gives the

on our Conference roll one hundred and two
members, with one only on the superannuated
list We have eighteen thousand nine hundred
and twenty-four members in our churches, and
three thousand one hundred and twenty eight
probationers.
The average of salaries paid to our pastors last
year was $40, with charges paying $4,000,
$l40o, $1,000, and eight churches paying $1,000
each.
We raised last year for the missionary cause
$4,000; for the bible cause $1,000; for church
and parsonage buildings, 1000; for our con-
ference claimants, $3,045.7Q; with $3.50 ap-
portionment for the present year, and have a.
543 children under instruction in our Sunday
Schools
Our people are erecting many new churches
and parsonages, which are fully up to the stand
ard for town and country buildings.

The Black Democracy in LOui-
siana-NegrOes at a Demo-
cratic Barbecue.

MONROE, OUAcuITA PARISH, August 90
A Democratic barbecue is being held in the
district to-day. AS | close this letter troops
of negroes from distant plantations are
marching past, singing:
Let every young Democrat lift up his voice,
pire la Companie [choice,
And sing the proud names of his party s first
Vice la Companie!
Bid Hiram the silent go back to his tan,
Vice la Companiei man,
For President we never shall have such
Vire la Companie
The rule of the Radical party shall cease,
Viue la Companie! [peace,
And then We'll enjoy the rich blessings of
FIRE la Companie!
Seymour, Seymour, Seymour, Seymour,
Three cheers for Seymour-Seymour and
Blair!
1t isn't the least degree probable that they
know what Vive la Companie' ESQ spell
ed means. 1t may stand for something to
eat in their minds. Unquestionably the
Democratic barbecue does. But there are
white men with them; they are pleased and
fattered by the association, and are going
to do just what the white men tell them
The gathering promises to be very large
one.

The Chestertomn Transcript of last week
says it has forthe first time received the Cecil
Wing and further remarks that when the
offered the Wig and declined because it,
the Transcript, did not support the war
We have no recollection of declining the
transcripts offer and think the reason the
exchange was not effected was simply be-
cause it's \ was overlooked among the large
number of exchanges which we receive
The Transcript need notfelicitate itself with
the idea that we exchange because we have
grown more tolerant toward the g lost
cause" or that we may learn something
from its columns of its beauties. When we
wish to study Democratic rebel doctrine we
go to leading authorities the Richmond
and Charleston papers, the World, La
Crosse Democrat, etc., and not to their
echoes and imitators. We have. no more
regard for the ashes of slavery, now called
Democratic party, than we had for the slave
holders war which the Transcript states it
is still supporting. We like to exchange
with all the papers of the State in order to
learn what of local interest is transpiring in
their neighborhoods, and not, as that paper
hopes, from any abatement in our aversion,
or opposition to the barbarian doctrines of
slavery which rushed its supporters into re-
bellion because a minority was not allowed
to rule

A WHISKY Row.-There was negro
meeting at Iron Hill, in the edge of Della
ware, about three miles from Elkton, on last
Sunday, where a drunken fight occurred, re-
sulting i'll the beating Of several whites,
among them the seller of the lquer. The
names Of the parties hurt are Bill Gallop,
George Gallop, the latter severely, DR.. Me-
Daniel, slightly, James Henry Wilson, Sc
verely injured, - Whitaker, who we learn
has since died from the injuries he received.
The two Gallops, Mcdaniel, Wilson, Tom
Hemphill and Daniel Duke got drunk on
Bill Gallop's whisky-Gallop keeps d rum
mill in the neighborhood- with the
negroes who were engaged in the fight.
We received our account of the spree from
an eyewitness, who relates in reference to
Whitaker, that a fracas was started near
him, and he told the combatants they must
keep quiet, when it is supposed that some
one gave him offense. He jumped down
from the fence where he was sitting, and
knocked the negro down. A crowd then
rushed on him and beat HIM so badly that
his death, report says, has resulted from his
injuries. Another white man, name I'M
known, was reported lying in the woods,
badly injured.

THE TRIUMPH or GRANT AND CoLFAx

The New York HeroH says:
The Vermont election of Tuesday was .as
much a trial before the pe0pe of the strength of
Grant and Coliax of the one side and Seymour
and Blair on the other as if they had been d.
rectly voted for and the result from our obser-
vatons on these preliminary local elections of
many years, indicates the drift of the popular
tide throughout the country on the main ques-
ton. We are prepared for similar result in
Maine some nine days hence and for correspond
ing Republican successes in the October State
elections in Pennsy lvania, Ohio and Indiana
In the event of such successes no doubt will re-
main as to the presidential issue in November
The election of 1868 will be substantially the
election of 1864 over again, and the success of
Grant in his first heat may be even more deci-
silva in the general result than that of Lincoln
i'll his second election.
All the facts before us and the signs of the
times indicate an overwhelming triumph to
Grant and Cofax.
" am happy to believe that at last our cause is
sure. There can be but one result at the COM
ing election. Give us peace says tine soldier
and all the PEOPLE will say Amen But this can
be only by eaching the rebel party, which is
the true name for our present Democracy, that
they cannot be trusted"

cratic ticket in October is a vote to tax your
