JUDGE PEARSON, of North Caro-
lima, who issued the writ of ha6eG,
corpus to bring before him certain cit
liens held by the infamous Kirk, is q
known Radical Republican; and is
stated by the Baltimore Gazette &c
have received the party recommends
ton for Attorney General, in the
place OF Hoar. The delay in appoint
ing Akerman was occasioned by a
conflict between the friends of the
parties-the Georgia carpet-baggers
against the North Carolina scalawags.
How much longer are the screws to
be put on, and peaceable commune
ties outraged, while northern
men, in security and at their
ease, preach patience? 1t be-
gins to be questionable whether tame
submission has not dene and is
not now doing more to aid Radical
ism, than any number of outbreaks
in selEdefense would do. A people
so ''law-abiding'' as to become con-
temptible for want of common re-
sentiment and courage may find them
selves in a position to invite aggres-
sions from outlaws, and situated
somewhat like an individual so
coWardly that even towards will sum-
mon courage to spit upon him. The
wisdom of a conservatism so extreme
may be doubted. Kirk now stands
covering behind brick walls capable
of resisting twenty-pound shot. It is
not strange the rascal should have
some presentiment of danger. But
this is what is strange, that the peo-
pie Of North Carolina should not rise
up at nee and strange him and his
"Jam6s."
The Gazette, alluding to the candi-
dacy of Pearson for Attorney General,
says:
This fac. is mentioned in order to show
the utter want of any pretext for disObey-
ing the Courts mandate by Governor"
Holden, who has shouldered the response
bility of the illegal detention, in prison,
of over hundred peaceabie citizens.
Manifestly the subterfuge of favoritism
be interposed as a contemplate
for the unparalleled usurpation
and tyranny now exercised by he mise
satrap who lords il oYer a sovereign
State. And it Is officially stated that
General Grant, before he left town for the
" Murphy Palace" expressed his appro-
baton of Holden's conduct and ordered
three companies of United States troops
to Raleigh to enforce the judgments of
courts-martial about being appointed by
the Governor " to "try 4" the victims of
caprice and malevolence. Yet North
ern opponents to this Administration con-
tinuet to preach (" patience - to the down.

man wonder or complain if citizens thus
goaded TO desperation should afford truth
full ground for the current lying chsrges
Of the INSCRIPTIONS Radical press about
50 ku-KluX outrages?"
OF course il is known that resistance to
such barbarity is the very thing the Radi-
cal party desire to see, and that the in
hanging of Holden and
Kirk by an outraged community would
m~arvelously help the Radical cause!
