The situation of the great struggle be-
tween France and Germany does not per-
eeptibly change, but it must be quite evident
that the longer the siege is maintained the
weaker Paris must become The task OF
providing food tor the hosts Of persons nova
penned UP withiniits walls must ;be extreme
ly difficult, and alteady there 10 talk that the
supply of fresh meat cannot hold out much
longer. The most promising feature is the
probable enthusiasm which will be aroused
by the elections for the Constituent Assem-
bly,, which are fixed for the 10Th October.
This event may unite the, country, and still
lead, though at the eleventh hour, % r. that

'5la0ne of the most singular features of the
presentwar is the fact that although France
is engaged in terrible struggle against the
Prussian invasion, she has no large army in
the field. Marshal Bazaine's command, -,
which comprises the flower of the French
standing army, seems to be hopelessly be-
. lesguered at Metz. That army must emu
merate full seventy-ive thousand men-yet
it is unable to take the offensive. Probably
it has the best Generals in all France-Ba-
zaine, Canrobcrt, Ladmirault, De Caen and
Bourbeki. There is an army in Paris, un-
der Trochu, completely besieged also some
thing of an army at Lyons, yeteven that acts
entirely on the defensive. Thus. the great
French nation is in the height of war-yet
she has no large army in the field. She is
getting paid, very sorely, for treacheryl to
herself,

The most difficulty thing to kill, alter the

traordinary mathematical gymnast, Mr..

like an illustration or two as to the suicida
tendencies of non-protection to home indus

Judge Pearson was the truth and nothing
but the truth. It cannot be proven neither
is it trueAthat a violation of law was ever
inculcated by the League. The organization
is truly a political one, and not by any means,
an organization nf midnight assassins. The
League is an organization of peace Its
members are sworn to uphold tile government
and not to destroy it. There are thousands
of men throughout this State and the Union,
who will bear us out in the statements that
we make. We speak from the book, and
know whereof we speak. The people under
stand the difference between the organiza-
tions. One is purely political, and has for
Its object the preservation of the Union, and
the elevation of loyal men to Office. The
other organization is a murderous one,
and has for its object the overthown OF the
State and National governments and the
disfranchisement of the colored man. The
|smeans employed are murders and yhippings,
scourgings and mutilations Notwithstand-
ing al! this, the Sentinel has the effrontery
to say that the League gave rise to Kuklux-
ISM If a peaceablc political organization
had been effected in opposition to the League,
then it would have been true to have said
| that the League gave~rise to it; but the
Kuklux Kian bears no resemblance whatever
to The League. One is purity-tlle other is
corruption blacker than hell itself One is
robed in spotless white; the other is clothed
in garments red with the blood of its
| victims .hc
After carrying the State through the
agency and assistance of the Klan, the Sen
tina calls upon its friends in the Legislature
to pass stringent law forbidding the for
nation Of secret societies oh yes, after
having secured one branch of the State gov
ernment, and the backbone of your Chei
ally-the Kuklux Khan having been broken
by Gov Holden and its Infamous doings ex
posed-you are afraid that the League viii
be re-organized, and at once call upon YOU
Kuklux friends in the Legislature to come
to your assistance. ~ Es.4 81
1t is matter of very little concern to u
what the Legislature enacts upon this sub
ject. We ask nothing at the hands of mel
who owe their election to a roaving, raidins
band of disguised murderers.
In conclusion, we make bold to say tina
the Sentinel cannot produce any proof t.
show that the law has been violated by orde
of the League. We do not pretend to sa,
that members of the League have not com
mitted crimes; but we do say-and We def,
proof-there is not single case upon recOr'
where it has been proven that the Leagu
ordered any of its members to violate tn
law. No, not in the slightest particular. 70
| Come, Josier, let us have the proof.
you fail to produce it, you stand convicted
of having published statements that yo
knew to be false when you penned them.

CHIEF Justice Pearsoa.

For several months past some Of the Dem

lignity. r,.uaao -a,,.1

The Sentinel of Saturday last loses its
temper over our comment on an extract taken
from that paper, with reference to the iIn-
sane Asylum, the Institution for the Deaf,
the Dumb and the Blind, and education, r-1
The Sentinel says: Ia as'di 81 wcn .a1
"The invisible editorn who penned this
sentence, whether he be Cape Cod ASHLEY
or Gov. Holden, knew, (not taHput too fine
point on it) that he was penning delib-
crate, wilful lie. Some people might use q
milder term to express it. but the one we
have employed is most significant and APP
propr1ate, and there IS lishs probability. Of
its being misunderstood. What, We said
about the asylums was this Charity means
providing for the needy and those who can
not take care of themselves, until they are
able to doitne bl1Rs I'd ca loot ed 9iof
If charity "means providing for the
needy" why compel the man Of means to
pay for his unfortunate relatives who reap
the advantages of our charitable institu-
tions, simply because he is wealthy and
and then tax respectively the, counties to
pay for patients whose friends are unable to
pay for them A system of this Kind
would make an unjust discrimination, and
the burden of taxation would fall heavier
on some counties than others. ''A
The change called for by the. Sentinel is
not that any real good will result. to the
people by making the change proposed, but
| it comes from determination to undo all
that has been done by the Republican
| party, without any regard to the damage
| or benefit to result from such change. The
Insane Asylum and the Institution for the
Deaf, Dumb and the Blind, have been man
aged exceedingly well and there is every
reason why they should remain Just as they
are. 1 Joiysfr .q..f FL sf-s.'.-. ~

and so persistently that it cannot in reply in
decent language to anything that appears in

probably one thousand men now in Jail in
North Carolina. Several poor devils have
died in Jail this summer in my county.
All this is from Holden radicalisn. These
negroes are arrested on criminal charges and
under Radical law administered by Radical
officials they cannot give bail, because their
bondsmen must be worth fifteen hundred
dollars and enough beyond toIpay the bail
bond. They will give adequate security
but no one will sign who is worth the above
sum, and the result is, that the poor devils
are lying in Jail like sheep with the rot, and
