A CHEERING EXAMPLE.-Two years
ago, Holden was elected in North Caro-
lima by the same agencies of violence and
fraud that were perpetrated by the Rad
ical authorities last year in Mississippi,
by FIFTY THOUSAND majority over Mr.
Ashe, one of the best men in the State
The Legislature was composed largely of
his minions they carried matters with a
high hand. To all appearances, their
rule seemed to be firmly established. But
behold, the end of it all Let the peo-
pie of Mississippi take encouragement.

Our columns to-day bear record Of an
other Of the Ubiquitous acts Of me party
IN power. It was passed in pursuance of
special message Of the Governor.
The leaders of the plumber party in the
Legislature, scarcely needed the stimu-
Ious of an executive suggestion What
ever would accumulate taxes, create Offices
for the leeches, and forge the instru-
mentalities of oppression, has found
favor-in their eyes. In Mississippi as in
the other scalawaged States, the first
thing demanded by the Radical usurpers
after they had grasped the purse of the
people, was the sword. All the appoint
ments to Office for the execution of this
s'terribly ubiquitous" measure, are vested
in the Governor. They are to be select
ed for their ''loyalty," and our people
know the Republican Interpretation of
that term.
In the late war, when the federal gov
erment was organizing its "colored
troops" care was taken to put them into
separate companies and regiments. But
not so in passing this law. No distinc-
tons of race are to be made. The s'face
is not to be looked into to determine the
color of the skin" either in organizing
companies, or in appointing officers.
The pecuniary cost of this measure will
be enormous. But this consideration is
nothing compared to the horror of the
despotism of which it is designed to be
come the instrument

Two of our best known citizens have
been called to their homes within the
past few days. The remains of the late
Thomas Swami had scarcely grown cold
in their resting place, before our citizens
were summoned to the grave of John j.
Ligon, of the well-known firm of Allen
and Ligon. The esteem in which he was
held was attested by the vast concourse
of mourners from all the professions and
walks of life in the community in which
he so long lived.

The honor of Mississippi has been
wounded in tender point. She has been
insulted in the person of her illustrious
Revels. In the city of Louisville, there
are street cars set apart expressly for
white people, precisely as school-houses,
churches and hotels are provided fer their
exclusive accommodation. Report says
that Revels was elected from one of these,
the Conductor having profanely looked
into his face to determine the color of his
skim" But Mississippi is to be avenged.
From Forney's Chronicle, the organ of
the Grant Administration, we learn that
tthe Republican Club" Of Washington
City, has taken the matter in hand, and
has passed resolutions denouncing the
Outrage" as without "a parallel IN the
history of civilized nations"-and the
Club, therefore, further resolved:
Be it Resolved, That the said election was
an insult to the United States Senate, an
outrage upon an American citizen, shame
to civilization, disgrace TO Christian re-
public, and should meet, as itjustly deserves.
the condemnation OF the Republican press
throughout the country and the indignation
of the civilized world.

Slaughter Of the InnOcentS.

The Republican journals which were
living on the prospect of the plumber of
widows and orphans, and of contributions
forced from unwilling parties, are dying
out rapidly. The Meridian Chronicle
has gone by the board. The Seashore
Liberal is heard of no more. The Co
piah Monitor has sunk to the bottom
The Canton Republican is in a state of
suspended animation. The Oxonian is
offered for sale. The Holly Springs Star
which lighted the way of poor Compton
into the dismal recesses of Radicalism
that he might get his reward, is glimmer-
ing family And SO they will continue
to go, a melancholy train until none, ex-
cept the Vicksburg Republican and the
Pilot, are left out of all the number that
'vexed the public ear with their miserable
noise

We did not venture even % hope m
as complete victory over the RePubh-
cans in the North Carolina election as
has been achieved. The Conservatives
have literally swept the field They have
elected FIVE out of the seven Congress
men, gaining four members in districts
which went carpet-bag and scalawag at
the previous election by from ], 200 to
1000 ,aajorities they have carried the
Legislature by probably two-thirds ma
jority thus securing United States Sen
ator in place Of Abbot, carpet-bagger,
and the power to enact laws over the veto
to of the Republican governor and they
have elected their candidate for Attorney
General by from ten to fifteen thousand
majority in the general vote of the State.
The Conservative voters in the counties in
which civil law had been superseded and
which were occupied by Kinks military,
Alamance, Cagwel and others, failed to
poll their strength. Hundreds of citizens
were under arrest, and many others had
been driven from their homes. Others
remained away from the polls in dread of
disturbance. Nevertheless, great vic
tory has been won, Notwithstanding the
means employed by Holden, aided by the
Grant Administration, to prolong Repub-
lican rule. The reign of terror which
the rulers inaugurated, has served only to
increase the humiliation of their fall and to
add splendor to the victory of the Con-
servatives. In the Raleigh Standard
(Holden's organ,) the following an
nouneement of Grants purpose to send
his bayonets into the State, was made:
From the Raleigh Standard, July &c.
The President of the United States has
| written to Governor Holden from Long
| Branch, New Jersey, under date of July %,
/ informing him that he has ordered more
| troops to North Carolina to aid Governor
| Holden.
| A large number, armed with the best fast
shooting guns, are expected in Raleigh in
the course of a day or so. In the language
of the President, 'they will be used to sup
press violence and maintain the law, If 9TH
eT means should fail" The President Is,

en- in his desperate undertaking to main
tain the ascendency Of the Republican
party. But all, without avail. For two
years the people had endured all the tor
lures of corrupt, tyrannical, lawless gov
eminent; and they were determined to
strike a peaceful blow at the ballot-box
for their own deliverance, and the result
is cheering beyond description. NORTH

Referring to the SANDER that Hon. j.

can party on the cold Line Wing"
dodge, the Southern Sentiment says:
We have known Mr.. Watson from early
boyhood, and nobler, purer, better man,
politically, socially, religiously or otherwise
lives not on this continent, and should he
connect himself with Mississippi Radical
ism we would loose confidence in human
integrity itself. The cause of the mongrels
is "in the last ditch" when they have TO

as that j. w. G. Watson chad Joined the

The Defensive Movement, at
BeIIefOntaine.

The declaration of the White Mans
Club, with its signatures of intelligent
and patriotic citizens, will be found else
where. The movement is defensive; and
is a natural consequence of the separate
organization of the blacks into the Loyal
League conspiracies to make war on the
political rights and social institutions of
the whites. The members of the League
are sworn to vote for no persons, and to
hound down all, who do not advocate the
doctrines of the Republican party. These
doctrines are no longer matter of specu-
lation. They are illustrated by the
School Law, as expounded by Lieut.. Gov.
Powers, and by the Common Carrier,
Militia, and other acts passed the Legis-
lature. The aggressive policy of the Re
publican leaders is followed by such
counter-movements for defence, as the
Bellefontaine Club. The responsibility
of organizations of race, and of whatever
consequences may issue, belongs to the
political adventures who have combined
the blacks to help themselves to power
and to inaugurate the reign of MOngrel-
ism.

1t is apprehended that another disturb
ing topic is to be introduced into the poll
tics of the country. The Republican

that the refusal to permit Revels to occu-
py cars provided exclusively for the use of
the whites in Louisville, KY, is can out
rage without parallel in the history of
civilized nations" But the Washington
Republicans had not then heard that
Mississippi Senator, Hon. Albert T. Nor
gan, with his bride, had been denied the
privileges of sleeping car on one of the
most travelled Railroads In the country.
And further that at Louisville, he had
been elected from an omnibus occupied
by the white people and compelled to
take his Seat in another, set apart for the
colored folks. How are the Washingto-
mans to describe their indignation when
they receive intelligence of these last
crowning "outrages?" The vocabulary
was exhausted in the case of Revels.
