The Militia.

The necessity of militia force, armed
and equipped, at this time, is apparent to
every man who hopes for u speedy dissolu-
tion of the murderous Kuklux organization
and u secure restoration of perfect peace,
quiet and safety to persons and property.
We know that there are some persons in
the Republican party who object to the
action of Governor Holden in calling out
the militia; and many in the opposite party
who derounce the movement as hurtful
and evil piece Of political strategy.
We could not expect any sort of approval
from the Democratic party; but we have
this to say to Republicans: If you do not
protect yourselves, you will not be protected.
How can you protect yourselves Only by
supporting, upholding and strengthening
the arm of the Chief Magistrate of the State.
He is Republican, and Republican from
principle. He does not intend to scare, men,
ance or scourgc any person with the militia.
His object is to prevent soaring, menacing
and scourging. Every man, who has truth
in his heart, knows this. None but polit-
ical tricksters endeavor to make the action
of the Governor odious ----.iss.
We know that there is general sentiment
against military movement on the part of
the government of this State, but this SEN
timent would not exist if persons would
only put the two evils in the scale and
weigh them. There is moral sentiment
against Kuklux violence, and the true souled
men of the Democratic party entertain that
sentiment as well as all Republicans.
What has the Governor to do9 He has
cautioned these Kuklux villains. Caution
did no good. He has really cntrcated them
to desist. Entreaty did no good. Why
should he beg them? He should not do it.
He will not do it. For by SO doing he
would only compromise the dignity of one
of the coordinate branches of this great
government, and, at the same time allow the
lives of the citizens of this State to be
further imperilled. Force must be used.
Not brute force" but u force little be-
yond persuasion and equal to command.

Chatham County.

We are informed by gentlemen, who were
present at Pittsboro' on Saturday last, that
there was grand Republican rally at that
place, and that the utmost harmony pre-
vailed.
The Republican party will carry Chatham,
for the UholS ticket, By .Jfce hundred majority!
The white Republicans of Chatham have
taken hold with vim. Their shoulders
are at the wheel. They arc determined to
have peace, and to put down Kuklux and
Kuklux sympathizels
We learn that the speech of James II.
Harris was universally commended as bril-
liant and unanswerable effect. We feel that
he is man worthy to represent this district
in Congress- The color of his skin is the
only" true" charge preferred against him.
Otherwise it is confessed that he is a man of
eloquence, ability, information and genuine
love of country. Most heartily do we ap-
plaud Mr.. Harris's determination to canvass
this district, and amidst the most disadyan-
tageous circumstances.
But through such perils great men emerge
to prominence. Those who have attempted
to dim the rising star of his reputation
will yet recognize and wonder at its cfful.

The Future.

The future of North-Carolina looks TO us
as bright as the mondays sun in a clear
unclouded sky. Great in climate and pro
ducts, it is the only State in the Union
which fills up all the captions of the census
takers list. Somewhere within our borders
any man can suit himself and find the soil
and climate to remind him of his own ma.
tive home, be it among the SHOWS of the
North, or among our sister Southern States,
whose summer heats are more intense.
With these advantages, it seems passing
strange for the moment that our waste
places are not filled up, our forests cleared
and our streams dotted with farm houses.
Thus it seems to us at first, but on reflection
its cause is plain.
Before the war the system of labor lab
ject slavery discouraged and prevented the
introduction of whites. Emigrants found
no opportunities to invest their small and
hard earned savings in small farms suited
to their capital and capacities So they
took their way to the far West and built up
those great States, which a few years ago
were but wilderness.
The abolition of slavery withdrew these
barriers, and our prospects now seemed
bright to at least share in that golden tide
of emigration which was flowing towards
the setting sun. Again, toa great degree,
we have been disappointed. Why is this
Because, though lands are now cheap, and
small farms arc plentiful, still, no men will
come here till perfect security for life, pro-
perty, and opinion, is guaranteed to ALL
This is perfectly plain to all; Until these
infamous outrages are put down, and the
rascals brought to justice, we may expect
no immigration. When law and order is
once more supreme. then will our State fill
rapidly up, and become what it should be
"a garden spot.

The "Lost Cause.

Many are the songs sung in praise of the
lost cause, many the dirges and many the
odes in praise of its heroes and its temporary
successes. THIS subject has been fayorite
one in the hands of a few old fossil politi-
clans, many of whom were, as friend re-
marked, "peace men in time of war, and war
men in time of peace" Those who were
neither war men or Unionists, and whose
opinion changed with the days of the
week, are now the most active in this
cry. They did not fight, but confined their
assistance to bombastic speeches, and even
these were not given till after the war.
Nay zoe were Union, have been Union.
Our earliest pulsations were National. No
North, no South, no East, no West, but one
broad country, union and prosperity. But
our heart has and will ever have, warm
nook Ior the friends of our youth, and no
errors of theirs-nay errors of ours-can
ever make us forget we have common
mother, common country. We say
let the bitterness of the war times pass
away. Let the dead past bury its dead.
We have no desire to recall them. We
would have them forgotten and live again
in peace and harmony. In our Constitution
nnasked, of ON, enn vnliti,snv v-sr slnofsls e
DISTINGUISHING clause we blottcd sht the
past, and, as far as was in our power, strove
to begin anew. Nay, more. in the last Leg
islature resolution was passed asking Of
Congress its removal of the disabilities of
every man in the State. All this the Re-
publican party did towards botting out the
past. 1t has ever consistently striven to
bring about good feeling and peace. Still,
while we have the kindest, most generous
feeling toward our opponents, we have the
same for our friends-for ourselves. While
VIC strive to protect them, We de
mand protection for ourselves, and this
aoe soiU hare. We have held out the right
hand of fellowship and the answer has often
been blow. We turned the other cheek,
but cen this would not suffice, and, now,
we must fight. We desire but order. peace
and good will. We ask but to live in secu
rity and harmony with our fellow-men. Give
us this, and we will be content, but this VIC
must and will have. Peaceably if we can
| forciblyi if we must.

Coll Kirk.

We see statement originated by Assy
Biggs, Jr., of the Tarboro Southerner, that
Col. Kirk murdered boy in Western Nortn
Carolina. Now we deny it in toto. ms
murder of children was confined to sucn
scoundrels as Keith, and Kinks skirts are
clear of it. The whole story OF the
.Southerner is lie. We demand the names
and the proof.
Keith murdered boy in the Laurel Val
ley,who clung about his knees and begged
for his life This is the origin of this tale
of horror, and the bigot who edits the
Souths-ner has wilfully failed to dlscrlmi'
nate between the two men. Keith is ku'
klux and murderer. Kirk is patriot, o
follower of the glorious Brownlow, OF Ten
nessee, gentlemen and an officer, who com
mands respect, confidence, and fear, because
he has courage and discretion.
Therefore, we heartily endorse Col Airk.
We bid him good speed in his undertakings
He is no traitor, nor murderer, nor Kuklux
nor an apologist for Kuklux. He is
LOYAL man. Up with the banner OF oul

The Currency Bill.

The President has approved the = Act to
provide national currency secured by a
ple1ge of United States bonds, and to pro-
vide for the circulation and redemption
thereof" approved Junes3, 1864, and the
acts amendatory thereof, and to amend the
same. 1t provides for an increase OF fifty
four millions of bank note currency, retires
forty-ive millions of three per cent. certi.
ficates, redsitributes twenty-five millions
from the excess held by the North and East
to the South and West, and provides for free
banking on four per cent. gold bond. 1t
does not initiate the volume of currency a
dollar. Legal-tender notes will take the
place of the three per cents as the bank re-
serve. while the additional bank notes will
supply the place of the legal-ten1ers thus
withdrawn, to which, however, must be
added twenty per cent. more as reserve for
the aforesaid new issue of bank notes. In
this way the present equilibrium of the
volume of currency is preserved. being
neither contracted nor expanded. Accord
ing to a statement prepared at the Treasury
Illinois, Indiana, kentucky, Missouri, Lou
isiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas will gain
in the redistribution of the twenty-five mil.
lions, while Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York ahd Pennsylvania
will loose. The bill makes the redistribu-
tion gradual and on the basis of the new
census.

Gentlemen, we arc authorized to say to
you, that the Republican candidates for
Congress in this District are anxious and
ready TO meet you on the canvass, and to
divide time with you, as was done in the
oIden days
We have thrice, yea, four times addressed
you upon this subject. The Sentinel has re-
piled for you, but not by authority.
|. What do you say? Will you, or will you
not ,eet .Messrs. Harris and Hawkins. The
peopie'desire to know, as the canvass ap-
proafdes its commencement,
r 9sAaa,smen, you wen know that the state
ment of the Sentinel that negro equality u
is not to be recognized in Orange and
Chatham, and therefore that you cannot
canvass with Mr.. Harris, is weak and
puerile answer. For the Republican candi-
dates propose to answer you as
To Charges of Corruption; as
To Kukluxism; as
To National Affairs; and as
To State Affairs.
The people desire to hear these matters
discussed from the same stump; and we say
to Judge Gillian, ifin 1868, he could permit
his name to be used as a candidate before
the Republican party for judgeship, (when
zoe did all we could for you, Judge, and
under the same circumstances would do it
again, and when Mr.. Harris also supported
you) and in 1867, he was pleased with Mr..
Harris speech at Salisbury,-has since met
him, and always treated him politely off
the stump, that it would be consistent with
his known character to show Mr.. Harris the
same courtesy on the stump.
To Mr.. Rogers, we would say, only this
and nothing more. Sion, you owe it to
yourself to make this canvass against your
opponent. You have always done so hith-
erto. Why do You shirk it now? Because
Mr.. Harris is a colored man. Then you
condemn, Judge Fowle,-you condemn your
own protcstations that you have submitted
in good faith to the situation, and you fall
back on old prejudices to secure votes.
Beware, Sion. The man who sows the
wind, reaps the whirlwind, and it is time to
have peace.
We desire to hear from you, gentlemen,
by authority. Perhaps we have judged you
harshly; but let us have yes or no from you.
Will you canvass with Mr.. Harris or not
The people await the answer. What do

Public Meeting IN Morehead City.

We learn from gentleman who was pres
ent, that on Thursday last, after the ad-
journment of the Convention called to nom
mate candidates for the Senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties of Craven
and Carteret, held at Morehead City, Hon.
G. R. Thomas, candidate In the second Con-
gressional district for the 42d Congress. and
Jos. H. Dixon, Esq, candidate to fill the un
expired term ofthe late Hon. David Heaton,
addressed meeting organized for the pur-
pose of hearing them. The meeting was
composed of white and colored voters in
about equal proportion.
The speech of Judge Thomas-his open
ing speech of the campaign, upon which he
has now fairly entered-is represented as
dignifed, temperate and able effort. He
was listened to with undivided attention.
He predicted larger majority in the State
for the Republican party than it achieved
in the last campaign, and stated his belief In
carrying the second Congressional district
by even larger majority than was given
the late lamented Col. Heaton Speaking
to people amongst whom he was born and
raised, Judge Thomas needed no effort to
impress his candid statements upon his
hearers. Our informant states that the
Judges speech was one of the most i'm.
pressive character, and was so regarded by
even his political opponents.
Mr. Dixon was heard by the people Of
Carteret on this occasion for the first time
and made good impression. He is an ear
nest, bold and strong speaker, and will gain
strength as he progresses.
This meeting was subsequently addressed
by Col. VIM. ]. Clarke and R. F. Lehman.
Esq, candidates for the State Senate in the
Newberne district Our readers are familiar
with the oratorical powers of Col Clarke.
On this occasion he fully maintained his
reputation. -d. ~4n s &5e. q.

Mr. L. stands deservedly high in the estima-
ton of all who know him. He has been
identified with our people for more than
fifteen years and will faithfully guard their
interests Of his election and that of Col.
Clarke there is no sort of doubt.

The West.

WE LEARN from gentleman just from the
West that the prospects of the Republican
party in that section are bright. and that
the opposition can have but little hope OF
success in the coming contest.
In the seventh district the re nomination
of Hon. A. H. Jones for Congress gives gen.
eral satisfaction. The convention was large
and perfectly harmonious. The Repuoii-
cans in every county of the district are
thoroughly united, well organized, and ae-
term,ned to re elect their member to Con- Cor
gress, and send majority to the Lrslsla-
ture. We hear of no dissension or strife ex-
isting among the Republicans, while in
some counties the Conservaties are badly split
up. In Pennsylvania the other party has
several candidates in the field for the House.
In the 43rd Senatorial District, Col. W. L.
Love has been renominated by the Conserv-
atives, with prospect of defeat.
From the extreme West, we learn that the
party has gained strength. Some new con-
vert is reported daily.
The colored voters in two or three coun
ties poll large vote. We understand that
they ask for protection from intimidation
and violence. The Conservatives are waglns
bitter war upon them, as well as upon the
white Republicans, and if something is mo-
done, hundreds will not vote. The part.
sustains Gov. Holdens call TOR the militia
The nomination of Plato Durham TO-
Congress in the Seventh District was unsat
istactory to many leading Conservatives
who preferred a moderate man. Mr.. Jones
his opponent, will receive the support OF tn
people, regardless of party or party differ
ences. We feel confident that we ma!
count on the West doing her part in tn
| coming contest

The accumulation.

Gov. Vance has declined and given away.
Col. R. T. Bennett, of Anson, Congressional
nominee for the Sd district, has declined and
given away. X X Robbins has not declined
or given away. The Conservatives have re-
fused to nominate candidate against G. L.
Cobb in the 1st district. Plato Durham
cannot take the test oath or hold any federal
-eficess I NJ Leach follnweda a circus through
Rockingham and had his name announced
from the ring, by another clown, mot zeh
Vance, as public orator for seat in Con
gress. Thus far Rogers and Gillian in this
district refuse TO meet Messrs. Harris and
Hawkins.
Harmony prevails in the Republican
ranks.
Gen. Grant has ordered two more compa
nies to this State Gov Holden's militia il
being rapidly organized.
There is every sign of victory. We shal
carry the State once more by an overwhelm
ing majority. This is the recapitulation o
affairs, which we present to our readers OF
the 4th day of July, 1870.
