SECRET RADICAL LEAGUES IN
NORTH CAROLINA. -

As we suspected, the real Ku-KIux
Klau of North Carolina turn out to be q
secret league of negroes, carpet-bsggers,
and mean native scalawags, of which
league Holden himself was, until recently
the chief-persons sworn to obey the
chief and bis deputies, and to protect each
other in trouble. 1t is these creatures
who control the mass of ignorance, and
order the election to judicial offices of
men, most of whom are as vile as them
selves. With such organizations, North
Carolina has become, perhaps, the worst
governed State ia the Union. The
Raleigh Sentinel of the Sth inst. says:
There are, at present, not less than five
hundred members of the leagues lying in
the various jails of the State, under
charges of all grades of crime known to
the penal laws of the State, and each one
of them no doubt relying on the Governor
for pardon, in case of conviction, on the
strength of the reciprocal oath between
them. They have some right to expect
this, since the pardon of Beattie and the
125 others. Just prior 10 the last State.
election, Maj. w. a. Smith, the present
johnson county candidate for the Senate
from Alamance, and co-proprietor of the
Standard establishment, visited the jails
along the line of the North Carolina Rail
road, and bailed out the felens of the
leagues to give them a chance to vote.
The recent murder of Stephens in CasweIl,
we verify believe, was perpetrated by
members of the league, and we predict
that ii will be so found, should the facts
IN regard 10 that horrid affair ever be de-
veloped. We do not make the prediction
vaguely, or without what we believe to
be good grounds. There is moral con- |
viction on the mind of the public that the
thousand acts of arson and burglary
that have startled the various see
tons of the State, the burning
at Henderson, in Wake, Harnett, Cas-
well, and other counties-lhe meditated
burning of Washington, and many other
similar outTages, which have been COM
mitted or quiet, peaceablc, and molten
siYe citizens, are the work of members Of
that secret, oath bound association known
as the League, of which the Governor is
or was the President. But the Leagues,
bad as they arc, have not been the authors
of all the outrages that have blackened
the records of our State. The organiza-
ton of the Leagues, and the mischief per
formed by the members, naturally led to
the organization, or, at least, 10 the local
combinations of parties of another but
equally illegal character, and these organ
izations have stained the chronicles of our
good old State with an almost daily record
of some crime or outrage. These things
have gone on until no man feels that he
has any security for his life or property.
The Leagucrs commit an outrage and the
Ku-Klux retaliate; or the Ku-KluX com
NIT an outrage and the Leaguers retaliate;
and so we progress toward that accursed
climax of from bad to worse, until 10 one
can see what the end will be. @

his message toihe Legislature calling the

right with the State authorities and

of conversation between GOV. Brownlow,
Stanford and Arnel, as it clearly had been
between PGrham and Arnell. What else

il was agreed that Rutter should be "pro-

Gov. Brownlow professed to have just

history that do not doyetail together well.
