these men mean war, they would not be-
lieve though one rose from the dead.
In the first place, Ex-Governor Worth
claims in his protest to be at present the
lawful Governor of North Carolina, thus ut
terly ignoring and denying any legitimate
authority in the present State government.
P c. Gaillard, who continues to write
himself Mayor of Charleston follows suit in
this wise: E
CHARLESTON, s. c.,
Friday, July 81, 1868.
Mr.. Stephen Thomas, Treasurer Of the City
Of Charleston:
SIR AS claim to be the legal Mayor of
this city, duly elected and qualified under
the charter of the city, and the amendments
thereto, l take this occasion to protest
against the payment to any other person than
myself of any portion of the salary of said
Office This matter will be settled by the
constitutional courts of the country, and you
can govern yourself accordingly.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
P. G. GAILLARD.
The Leavenworth Kansas) Conservative,
in its report of the Democratic State Con
vention at Topeka, says "Among the deco
rations of the hall in which the Demo crats
met was rebel flag"
A rebel flag, having the ten stars of the re-
bellion, has also been hoisted at public
gathering in this State. We can give time
and place and circumstances. The particu-
lars are before US.
The New York World writes:
We must not be understood as printing
this speech as an antidote to Gen. Blair's
more recent letter. There is nothing in that
letter which we could wish him to retract or
explain away His position is. that if
Democratic President is elected, the negro
reconstruction cannot stand.
When the Democratic party has elected
the next President it will be manifest to ev
cry body that the negro governments cannot
be permanent. If the Senate and the South
ern negroes shall then yield to the will of the
country we shall have immediate tranquility.
But if they choose to make factious oppO-
stion, the Southern whites will probably
cut the gordian knot without waiting for u
change in the Senate to have it united"
A little incendiary sheet published at
Wilmington, advises the people to arm
against the police should it be established
by the Legislature. 1t says:
"If the State arms one party, private en-
terprise and personal safety will arm the
other-preparation will be met with prepa-
ration and force with force. If the Legisla-
ture places arms in the hands of Radical
Clubs and Loyal Leagues, the people will
arm Democratic Clubs"
But the Democratic Ku Klux Clubs' arc
already armed and organized. and we must
arm force in the interests of law and order.
Resistance has already begun Read the
following:
The merchants of Wilmington are eau
toned against employing any one to do their
inspection except themselves. The adver
tisement in your column signed by one Dan
iel Kline, an appointce of the "man who
signs himself" Governor, is bogus and with
out any legal authority. Having had the
decision of the ablcst lawyers in the city, We
proclaim ourselves Inspectors of Provisions
and Forage, and defy the would-be 1nspec-
tor
The merchants arc notified that we will
prosecute iii every instance of violation.
GEORGE ALDERMAN,
Provision and Forage Inspectors
until 14th March, 1870.
Wade Hampton is proud of his recep-
ton and his influence in the New York Con-
ventiou. He says in a speech that the DEM
ocratic leaders, after advising prudence in
language, promised
ITO help them once to gain the power
and then they would do their utmost to
relieve the Southern States, and restore to
us the Union and the Constitution as it
had existed before the war;"
Toombs has not yet abandoned the idea
of calling the roll of his slaves from Bunker
Hill. He says:
"That all these reconstruction acts rs they
are called, these schemes of deluson, of
villainy, and of tyranny, shall no longer
curse the statute book nor Cypress the free
people of the country."-Speech in -4tLmta,
July 90.
He proceeds:
"That these SO called Governors and Leg
iSlatures which have been established in our
midst, shall at once be nude to gacate. The
Conoention ut Nep York appointed Frank
Blair specially to cust hsm."-Speech at At

Gen. Cobb who commanded the hell at
Andersonville, speaking OF Republicans

b H. Hill speaking in apostrophe makes
use oe the following language for Republic

Yet the vile, the low, the corrupt and the
perjured yet are seeking to be our rulers, and
have seized upon our high places, but the
noble, the valiant and the true are still left
