already been contributed in abundance.
The stage performance and tableaux have
been placed in the hands Of persons of &C
knowledged ability. The comic songs are
truly comical, and the Three Black Crows'
have pumed themselves anew for their
attack on the farmers corn6eld. There will
be an opportunity for all anxious young
gentlemen and ladies to settle their destinies
at once forever, as the services of q couple
of bona fde gypsies have been obtainsd,
who have discovered the real mysteries of
the future. The committee have been at
no little trouble in obtaining fine collec

These are the politicians. Where are

In the middle stand the people-thc en-

buzz Of anathemas against a government

Gen. Lee and his soldiers surrendered At
Apponattox. That's what's the matter.
Let men think. This won't do. The

| This is our position. We do not wish TO

But stop and think, a moment, dear

only ''opprcsscs' the guilty mans family,
in that 1t takes from his wife and children

Again. The Sta,adard harps incessantly
on ''ku klux outrages,' and makes great
ado about s'iiunting down the colored mer,
like cattle. and numbering them. \ Now,
we most respectfully submit that if the
Standard can hear at all, it hears of three
negro outragcs on the whites to one white
outrage on the blacks. But strange pass

or it may do agreat deal Of harm. Itisnow.
we suppose, a law of the State, and time
will test its wisdom and efficacy. But it
speaks badly for the civil law and author
rites Of North-C Carolina: 1t argues that
the civil law for the punishment of crime is
stringently inadequate, or that the exccu-
tors Of the law are criminally derelict.-
Those whose duty it is to award punishment
for crime, we fear, too often let it pass I'M
whipt Of justice, from political bias or sell
fish considerations, and it may be question
cd whether it was not this bias or extreme
''leniency'' Of the law, shown in certain

termed ..ku klux," for whose benefit this
military bill seems to be designed. Wei
