THE NORTH CAROLINA TROUBLES.


!outrages being committed ip North Carolina b!
the "loyal" militia, under one Col. Kirk. In
stead Of using his position and power to main
tain good order and quiet in that State, it ap
pears that Holden, the Governor of the State
is the chief instigator or head devil !" in the
whole trouble. Martial law has been pro
claimed ip Caswell county, and these loyal
.bloodhounds haye declared suspension of the
writ Of habeas corpus. The attention of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina was called
to the state Of affairs jnaugurated by the Rad,
icals in Caswell county through petitions for
,writs of habeas corpus filed in behalf Of John
Kerr, and other citizens who were arrested by
Kinks militia. Upou an attempt being made
TO serve the writs Kirk would pay no attestion
TO them, apd ordered the person who came to
serve them to leave or he would have him shot.
Chief Justice Pearson of that State decided
that the writ of habeas corpus was not sns-
pended, aud ordered the Marshal of the Su-
preme Court to 60 10 Caswell county aud serve
the writs.
These military marauders under Kirk, and
one Lieut., Colonel Burger, have been guilty of
oil manner of crimes. il the dispatches can be

states that they hung respectable citizen by
the pame Of William Patton three times. in
the endeayor 10 extort q confession from him
rs to who killed some outlaw. The last time
they hung him so long that il was an hour after
he was cut down before he recovered con-
sciousness. Several other citizens were tied
up by the thumbs to make them confess that
they were Ku-Klux. And these outrages are
committed by loyal" men in State that has
been put through the Radical reconstruction

members of the House in Congress
The cry Of Ku-Klux served the purposes Of
