RALEIGH, n. c. WEDNESDAY,,

AN OUTRAeE.-We understand tllat on
Tuesday saorning, when a'lot 1f the Good
Republican, tickets were 9tfried 20 the
polls in this city, they had scarcely been
given out for acceptance Or rejection, when
orders were issued by Mr.. ~. N. Farriss and
Friday Zones fer their destruction, and that
their, orders were Immediately obeyed BY
several Of the darkies.- Raleigh Register
There is no truth in the above, except,
as we learn, that several voters ia whose
handsthe tickets were placed re them upy
They had no use for them Besides, this
Goodloe ticket was gotten out in fraud, 10
that il purported to be the Repuiiican
Stats Executive ticket thus leasiing the
impression that Coy. Holden. hsd with.
drawn, and that Mr. .eooalee had be.sn no,n-
mated by the Committee in his place. This
was shabby trick. ...,....5
We think it probable that, through such
depraved channels as Helper, secret service
money from the inpeached usurper, Andrew
johnson, was freely used in this State. We
have no proof of this, but we judge from
appearances. What little trouble the Re
publican party has had in this State from
persons protesting to be Republicans, has
resulted from the conduct of such rebel Office
holders under Andrew Johnson as Goodloe,
Helper and Chapin. But the people have
disposed of these gentlemen for good and
ALL They are laid up in the dry dock of
politics, very much out Of repair and likely
to remain so. +.#-

More Rebel Atrocities In Texas.

Although there has been a studied effort
on the part of the Copperheads to stiie be-
lief In the existence of secret societies known
as the Ku Klux Klan, the proof is overwhel-
ming that daily outrages and murders are
heing perpetrated by o.ganized bands on
the Union people of the South, from which
there is no escape, and for which they can
obtain no redress through the civil courts
f There is perhaps no State where these out
RACES are 50 frequently committed as in Tex
as-none certainly where they are more ia
grantly outrageous in character. New and
further official advices here received plainly
exhibit the practical operation of General
Order No. 40, issued by Maj. Gen. Hancock,
: on assuming command of the 5th military
district. The following brief statements,
made by reliable gentlemen, is added to the

LET THEM Be KNowNl-It is important
that the white people of the, State should
have the names of the so called white men
who vote for the new Constitution, for Hol-
den and for negro supremacy Let their
names be registered. 1t is also important
for the white people to know what cOlored
men in the State voted for the Conservative
ticket We should know who are our
friends and aoho are our enemies. .-Sentinel
1t would take more time than industrious
Conservatives have to spare to register all
these names of white men who voted for
Holden. Perhaps some of the yearling boys
of that party who live by sponging, or on
the hard labor of their poor old fathers and
mothers, could find time to attend to this very
useful business. But let them be little
careful in taking down the names of persons
on their black list, lest they get their pates
cracked for their impudence.
The Sentinel will find it equally difficult
to discover the colored men who voted the
Rebel ticket. 1t would take the biggest
sort of a magnifying glass to find score
even Of such monstrous characters. The
colored voters have rallied with wonderful
unanlmity to the Republican party. One in
thousand only may have played the part
of Judas Iscariot.

ted with the Election.
We learn that landlord, nos y hundred
miles from this City, had set his heart on
having his employees vote the Rebel ticket.
The employees were not disposed to do it,
but fhe landlord, who thinks wlien he dies
he will go to Vance, insisted upon it with
divers threats. We'll, the boys appeared to
consent, took his tickets, and went with
him to the polls. But they bad other tick
cts in their pockets printed in red, white
and blue, and as they approached the polls
they modestly dropped behind the landlord,
and he stepped forward before them to show
them the way with all the dignity Of Mi
leslan game cack. Butprssto, change! the
boys ran their hands in their pockets, took out
the right tickets put tirem in the box with a
serious air and retired. sar
The landlord was badly SOLD" When
lie attempts again unduly to influence his
employees we hope he will meet with just as
good luck Meanwhile the Republicans fen

Republican voters to the polls a1.

We are gratiied to learn that Col. Bonn
ford has taken prompt action in relation to
Rebel disorders in Caswell County, Col.
Drake, an accomplished loyal officer, has
been sent with troops to that County, to see
to it that the elections are free; and we
learn also that an order has been issued to
arrest one James Poteet, lanaholdcr, for
turning off his hands because they avowed it
to be their purpose to vote the Republican
ticket All we ask is a free election. We
seek no undue advantage for the Republican
party, hut at the same time we ask that the
Rebels get no undue advantage.
We learn that considerable number of
troops have been sent along the line of the
Central Road. This will have fine effect
in composing the public mind and ensurng
free election.

their positions"
An intelligent writer, who dates his letter
from Tyler, states as follows: e9aH
1T now becomes my painful duty to in
form you that every days depreciation of
bioodshed increases the gloom and darkens
the cloud over our troubled and down-trod-
den County There is band of heaven
daring, hell-deserving and law defying
beasts in human form, headed by the Sher-
iff of my County, who claims the right to
dictate to one and all, white and black, how
they shall vote, what they shall say, think,
or do, and death is the penalty of all those
who do not recognize and obey their oders.
AS an evidence of the truth of what | say, l
will give you some OF their proceedings.
They have a regularly organized band who
are sworn to hunt down, kill, and destroy
every man in the County who voted for or
advocated the Convention or any man who
viii dare to support the policy Of Congress
against President johnson. ta5s
The sheriff with his posse of fiends attack
ed me, with double-barrcl guns and six
shooters drawn, saying that was damned
Radical, the negro's friend, and that must
now fly to the mountains or denounce the
Republican party; and if ever they heard of
my using their names in any way whatever,
would hear from them only through the
fire of powder and lead. 1t is the first time
have ever suffered such insult and abuse.
l have lived here for eighteen years, and
know of no blot on my private character.-
Not a freedman or white man who voted for
the convention can safely live in this section.
/ look forward with the greatest anxiety and
with an abiding hope that Andy johnson
NAV be made to take a back seat as q trail
tor. and that General Phil Sheridan may
once more assume command of tins depart
ment." These statements briefly tell the
condition of affair in Pamela, Anderson, and
Palestine counties. tn
1t is similar to that existing in many 9th
ei counties of the State. Should General
Sheridan be sent to New Orleans again, it is
understood the assignment of Brevet Briga-
dier General Oakes, colonel of the 9th caval-
ry. to the command of Texas would give
general satisfaction to the loyal men OF that
State. General James Oakes was in Texas
for many years bef,re the war, is thoroughly
acquainted with the people, knows how to
| deal with them, is entirely in sympathy with
the Republican party, and is the only otficel
! of rank in the Stale who had the backbone
/ to register and vote the Radical ticket at the
last election. He is not u political trimmer
! but an earnest Republican, from honest con
viction. Placed in command ri Texas, and
sustained by the commander of the 9th mil
| itary district, he would do more than any
| other military officer whose service is avail
able to protect Union men and reconstruc

We learn, on good authority, that Gov.
Graham has admitted, in his speeches in the
West, that the new Constitution does not re-
quire that the white and colored children
should be mixed in the schools, or the white
and colored men mixed in the militia. What
will the Rebel organs say to that? They
have been telling the people exactly the con-.
trary. '... g"i'l lf,.s
Bear in mind that Gov Graham takes the
same view in this respect of the Constitu-
tion which the Republicans take. Of all the
raft of public men who are advocating the
Rebel side Of the question, Gov. Graham
is the only one who has had the candor to
admit the truth in regard to the schools and
the militia. Let the fact be mentioned to
his credit. ''.'

says that to morrow will be the big day for

man-those that have voted and all others
to come in and crowd the polls and keep
the whites away"

The Vote of this State,


We think it probable that 10000 of the
1S4, 900 votes registered in this State have
been polled Thousands of white persons,
not Republicans, did not vote. They thought
1t better to shear the ills they have than fly
to others which they know not Of" The Rebel
leaders are much enraged because they could
not force out their full vote to the polls.
The colored voters have no doubt turned
out well. Of the 10000 registered it is al
mcst certain that not less than $4,000 have
voted. This, added to the white Republi-
can vote, would foot up $4,000. We do not
goneibeyond $4,000. 1t is probably nearer
10000. ,F"H#t
