What the Government is Doing.

i, In order to show to the deluded members
of the kuklux organization, what the gov
eminent is now doing, and what the lead
ing journals, ofthe Northern States say about
the deeds which they have committed,w we Sc,
lee. the following brief editorial from the
New York Tribune Of the 14th instant:
Fifteen hundred troops have been order
ed to Tennessee, and others have been Off
cially requested by GOV. Holden for imme-
date service in North Carolina. 1t is ex-
tremely unfortunate that this emergency
should have arisen at this time when recon
struction seemed near happy cumpletion !;
but the duty of the government under the
circumstances is plain The provoeation in
both States is the same, and equally gross /;
lawless whites have attacked negroes, and
with such bitterness and fury that the civil
authorities are powerless to suppress the
marauding bands of kuklux or to protect the
helpless and defenceless blacks. These cir
cumstances alone justify the act Of the Pres
ident in sending troops to Tennessee, and
will warrant the same assertion of power in
North Carolina But further than this, the
general government is bound by every obi
CATION to enforce the civil rights act, grossly
violated in these instances. and to give pro-
lection to those whom it has already given
citizenship. There can be no question oil
the propriety of the action with regard to
Tennessee, and We hope there will be no un-
necessary hesitation in repeating it as the
circumstances demand in North Carolina"

EXPLOSIVE ons.-we are mainly indet

EXPLOSIVE OILs. We are mainly indebt-
ed 30 Prof. Kerr for the following items. con-
cernlng explosive oils now being used and
sold extensively in this State. 1t was his
opinion that the most of the oil now in use
is nothing but gasoline, and he applied the
test. As low as fifty degrees fahrenheit, the
oil was found to be as explosive as gunpow-
der. The test in the North is ITO and
for selling any burning fluids below
that there is fine OF $50 imposed. An Of
fcer makes a weekly inspection for the
Board of Health. In order to find out
whether the oil is safe, take watch-glass,
or some concave vessel no larger, fill it with
oil, put it aaoat upon boiler full of water,
heat the water to ITO degrees by the Their
mometer, light match and carry it about
half an inch above the oil, and if it does not
infame, it is safe. Otherwise there is great
danger. At least one tenth of the burnings
of houses and persons arises from the use of
explosive oils. 40 sllHi 80 h9tusu 2a13 7f

/ Thomas BAILY.-T heWestern Sentinel de-
mics that Thomas Baily, Of Forsythe county,
was whipped by the kuklux.g 1t is certainly
mistaken The facts are theseas filed in the
Adjutant Generals office The kuklux went
to Baily's house, dragged him from il, tied
his hands and feet, put his head under a
fence, fastened q ball with iron spikes in
his mouth and whipped him nearly to death.
The parties to this crime were arrested and
tried before j. L.. johnson, Esq, and bound
over to Court There was failure to con-
vict, but there are parties now bound over to
the peace in this case. Baily was an molten
siye colored man; and if tho Western Senti-
mel will make proper enquiries it will find
out that our statements of this matter are
true and without exaggeration. We trust
that paper will do US the justice to correct
its mistake. t-.isi 1.. .sEn2 Is i.4-rf.t sfi1t

Habeas Corpus.

The Constitution of this State forbids the
suspension of the writ Of habeas corpus by
the State authority, either executive or leg
islative. We call the attention of our cotem-
poraries at distance to this fact. 4 But tie
same Constitutions and the militia bill en-
powers the Governor to proclaim any County
in state of insurrection.R When tho militia
are quartered upon q County it must pay
the taxes for their support. What is meant
by a state OF insurrection is not clearly de
fined. No civil officer is deposed by the
proclamation, nor is the operation of. any
law delayed or hindered.o Still heproclam-
alton points out the men and the County
where crime is common and criminals 90
unmnlested. And the voice Of public opin-
ion is invoked for the suppression of nthe
outrages. 1t is moral power brought to
bear to assist the civil authorities. Under
its operation, the national troops only act
as an auxiliary force to maintain order, to
be summoned by the Magistrates or Sheriff.
Only by 3 suspensiep Of the, writ Of 4 ahabe
corpus can the seventies of martial law be
inflicted on any portion of the people, and
this power lies in the hands of the Federal
authorities

The people Of Granville, Person

The people of Granville, Person and Cas-.
we'll counties will regret to hear the defeat
OF the passage of the bill in the Legislature,
authorizing the Commissioners of those
counties to subscribe to the building of the
Valley Railroad. We regard it as the only
opportunity that will be offered for years to
come, to build that Road.
The efforts OF Mr.. Barnett the representa-
tive from Person, was highly commemorate,
and will be appreciated by his constituents,
but the opposition made by Mr.. Hodnet will
be OF sore regret to the people of Caswell.
He was opposed by his colleague, Mr.. Carey.
The people of Person and Caswell will
sustain Messrs. Barnett and Carey.

REPUBLICAN GRAND tRALLY.-A grand

the occasion being a meeting preliminary to

United States is made by President Grant.

/ MURDER IN RoBEsoN.- We learn from
the Wilmington Journal that Lowry's gang
of murderers and thieves have commenced
their devilish work again. 4 On Saturday
night last, Mr.. Owen Norment was shot
down upon his own threshold and killed.
His brother-in-law, Mr.. Bridgers, while re-.
turning the same night after calling in as
sistauce to the wounded man, had his mule
killed under him; and the same party, it Is
supposed, also visited the store Of Captain
Plummer and fred at him. three obucksbot
passing close to his head. They were driven
away by a Shot from Capt. Plummer. ~
We denounce in this connection as false
the assertion of the Journal that these muir
dsrers "are loyal adherents of Gov. Holden
and bis crew" Such statements on the part
of the Journal are calculated to encourage
the murderers to continue their idiabolical
deeds. 1t would better become the leading
Democratic journal Of the East to assist in
restoring peace and order, than to be per.
susding the people that their Executive
tolerafes lmurderers and outlaws for any
reason or any cause. loha2 '-2al'15, ai..
