If KUKLUx outrages have not been prov,
ed, then the present military movement is
wrong.
If they have been proved then the man,
who censurcs the Governor for his course, is
friend to traitors and an apologist for as
sasslns.
The civil courts, owing to perjury, suborn-
ed juries, and the timidity of County Off
GERS, have shown themselves to be INSULT
cient for the occasion; although more than
one judge has faced death, and all stand
ready to discharge their duty.
Under the operations OF a military COM
mission the most important facts will be
elected. The truth will be made known,
and the perpetrators of Kuklux crimes
brought to justice, tried and punished.
And if it is shown that there is King OF
the Kuklux, he will swing in Wake County
Jail yard.
When this is the case, we shall hold the
leaders of this Klan up to the execration Of
the world, and lash them with whip OF
scorpions while they stand in the public
pillory.
The truth will crush them. They shun
investigation, and they fear punishment.
They now compliment the United States
troops. Three weeks ago they laughed at
the militia. When another regiment Of
United States troops marches into Raleigh
no doubt their compliments will increase
1t is well. The government stands by the
State. And before they get through they
will also learn to compliment the State
troops We know whereof we speak.

HEAVY ON DEMoCRAT.-In one of our
middle counties few days ago, pompous
Democratic candidate for the Legislature
was addressing the people on the character
of the men composing our last Legislature.
Said he: -Fellow-citizens, you will please
bear in mind the social position of the
members of the last General Assembly.
You will also remember that they charged
seven dollars day for their services. Now,
fellow-citizens, if that class of men were
worth scvon dollars day to the State, what
would I be worth 2" Pausing a moment
for reply. it came from an honest old farm.
er: About t,0o dollars, TshouM say!" The
last heard of the young man, he was dis.
coursing to friend on the Ignorance Of
the Masses" and offering a copy of Jeffer-
sons Manuel for sale at half price, which
caused his friends tn think he felt himself

In Memoriam-COlonel Jacob F. Churr,
u. S. Army.

The subject Of this brief sketch, who died In
New Orleans, La, on the 18th OF July instant,
but adds another name to the long list OF brave
and good soldiers who have fallen victims to
disease, contracted while faithfully serving their
country.
The intelligence Of his decease will call up in
the minds of very many in this community
pleasant recollec tons of their associations with
him while he was serving at this place in the
capacity OF Superintendent of the Frcedmen's
Bureau, where he won for himself the esteem of
all who knew him.
Col. Chur was soldier of the finest and iruest
type, a modest, generous and kind soldier, a
a tried and trusty friend what better can be
said of him?
Warned by failing health 20 seek if possible a
climate more congenial to his constitution, the
Department kindly assigned him to like duty
in Florida, which climate, like that of North
Carolina, proving unsuitable, he was again
transferred to the soft and unirritating climate
of New Orleans, La, to be stricken down by
consumption, that insidious destroyer which ST
lently steals upon the anchorage OF life, to cut
it from lis mooings.
So has passed away another brave soldier-our
associate-leaving TO us in death Us in life, his
memory and example, to whose memory we
will weave gariands to bloom in undying er-
dure. W.

WHAT ARE our City Fathers doing?
They have given directions to the Chief OF
Police to attend to private matters in regard
to cleanliness during the hot season, 50 as
to prevent disease as far as possible, but
have neglected entirely the sewerage of the
streets. We would especially mention the
sewer opposite Mr. Phil. Tnicm's restaurant,
which is disgracetul to any City. The
sewerage is entirely ignored by these plank
crossings, where there is no necessity for
them, and allowed to lay there and rot and
drop down into the cutters so as to OBJ
struct the regular channel of the water
course There is one other point on Fay
ettcvile street which ought to attract tn C
attention of bur City Fathers. That is from
the store owned by our old friend Hollcman
TO Mr.. B. p. WillIamson's corner, and we
might say down to the Marlborough House.

We do live let us do al. we can for the next

CAPT. MCKEE AND Ills COMMAND. On
Wednesday last, the goth inst, the company
of Capt. w. S. Mckee was mustered into SCI
vice of the State at Dallas, CASTOR county.
Our correspondent who was present says
that this company consists of G5 or 70 of
the bcs: men of CASTOR, and that their Or
dcrly camp showed that they were acquain-
ted with soldiers discipline. Capt. Mckee
is one of those men, who in the peaceful
walks of life, is Il quiet and unobtrusive
citizen, but in his conviction of right, IS
firm and unfinching in spite of all opposi-
tion. For four years in the confederate SER
vice. he won for himself a sound reputation
as true and brave soldier, this all admit.
And he will doubtless prove himself equally
brave now that he has enlisted with his
brave followers in support of law and order,
and against the secret and disguised clans
that outrage and trample under loot the
authority of law, and the sacred rights of
life, Liberty and property.
On the above occasion the Captain assur-
ed his "bnys" that he felt much flattered
and highly honored by being assigned to
the command of a company of so fine look
ing men, whom it was his great fortune to
know, and to know so favorably; that he
would be Jealous in securing their comfort,
strict but not tyrannical in his discipline {;
that he would expect duty, and subordina-
tiOn Ia his commands from them all. He
urged them to he careful not IL ovcrstep the
bounds of soldiers duty in trcspassing up
on the rights of citizens-to do nothing un-
worthy of IL good soldier in good cause.
He further said that he was under Governor
Holden as Commander-n-Ch Chief, and that
he acould execute lis orders at all hazards.
He hoped that quiet would soon be restored,
and they he permitted to return to their
homes secure from all danger.
