THE RADICAL HELL IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The shocking violations of decency, order
and law, by the notorious Kirk and his prat-
ical band, continue in North Carolina Kirk
is countenanced by the leading radicals at
the North, and Grants administration, which
has just dispatched troops thither These
shocking outrages do not by any means take
the country by surprise They have been
long understood as part Of the radical pro-
gramme. A Washington dispatch to the
New York Tribune, as long ago as last May,
confessed the whole shameful business in the
following words
| The manner in which partisan kilograms from
the South have been MANUFACTURED and publish
ed in the North to further the personal designs OF
INSCRIPTIONS and ambitious men, was well shown
up on the developments brought out i'll reference to
the Washington Chronicle during the progress of
the recent Georgia investigation. The same 0Gme
| is nO1c going on in connection with the internal
affairs of the other Southern States 1t is believed
that THE ENSUING ELECTIONS in the South will re-
suit in some Instances not perhaps in the defeat
of the Republican party but in the defeat of certain
individuals who are and have been using that party
as means only to their own selfish advancement
foreseolng this, the effort is TO G EFT UP AN EX-
CUSE TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW and To-
cal newspapers in the interest of the men alluded
to are teemng with accounts of s'outrages." THIS
CAROLINA, and no surprise need be felt at dat-
ly dish of horrors from that State, served up in
the Chronicle; ''for," said one of the North Caro-
lima Senators, GIVE INTEND TO USE THE
MILITARY, and, In Justification roe must get
these statements dissemin0ted Mr0u0h Wp
N0Wh."
This dispatch, published in an unguarded
moment by the Tribune, needs no comment
In accordance with the programme, hell has
lowing dispatch rectes a sample Of the doings
of Kirk and his band of villains
RALEIGH, n. c., July 30.
George Williamson, of Caswell county, went to
the wrts of habeas corpus issued by the Chief
Justice in behalf of Kerr and other citizens of
Caswell. Col. Kirk ordered him to leave or he
would have him fired on. The Chief Justice de-
cided that the wrts had not been properly served,
first, because Williamson was not appointed by the
Chief Justice to make such service; second, being
citizen of Caswell county, he was an insurgent
there and could not serve the writs. The Chief
Justice re-afirmed the opinion that the habeas
corpus act was not suspended and ordered the
Marshal of the Supreme Court to 60 to Caswe
county and serve the writs There is not nor has
there been, any disturbance resistance to law in
any portion of the State
A telegram from Hillsboro states that Col. Kinks
men arrested thirty citizens of Alabama county to-
day. They hung VIM Patton, respectable citizen,
three times, cutting him down each time to make
hm confess who murdered the outlaw The last
time that Patton was cut down it an hour be- |
fore he recovered, He made no comics sion.
So far as can be ascertained the govern
ment at Washington takes no step to sup
press these outrages. because they are per-
petrated on white men, who have no rights |
that are to be respected. Grant is taking
things coolly in his 100000 house at Long
Branch and of what account is the han OF Or
of few hundred citizens in North Carolina >
