FRoM YANCExvILLE We are without
positive information of any kind to-day
from Kinks dominions, either in Alamance
or Casweu. It is said that number Of
"Kirk's prisoners" are at large on parole;
others are being sent to Gov. Holden and
discharged The parties who have been
illegally arrested, ought to be careful, not
to accept anything but q legal release I'M
der tho writ Of hdbeaS corpus. This re-
lease we arc assured will be effected
through the agency of Judge Brooks dur
ing the next week.
The general impression appears to be
that President Grant has not sustained
Holden in his refusal to submit to the
writs of habcaS corpus,
As soon as tho parties arrested are re
leased, they ought to sue out writs against
Holden, Kirk and all concerned, for their
false and wicked arrest. We have said
that nothing affecting the characters of the
respectable Democratic Conservative cltl-
zens of Altmance and Oaswen, touching
the alleged kn KIux crimes, will Go dis
covered hy tho nefariOus, demOniocal
schema Of Holden, Pool, Settle and their
co-adjutoIs, and we repeat 1T. We believe
that all PEI pgtratOra Of crime should 10 ar
rested, iegaiiy tlied and punished, but law
l3Ba and paItiz2u schemes Ike HOldon'9 TO
intimillate, to force evidence by torture OF
fear, and to subject innocent men to such
treatment as TTOllcn-Eirli's men have in
ilicted upon the goOd people Of Ala,nRnce
and Oasw"iI, deserves the boyCrest punish
mont and the condemnation Of ali good
men.

learn from 5e reliable: source, that the par

THE LAST RUMoR.-Tho Yanceyville
prisoners, having oil been removed to
Company Shops, last Sunday night, it is
now rumorod that Chief JUS
tice Pearson has been sent for and that
Raleigh, IL day or two. The object OF
this is to anticipate tho action of Judge
Brooks, who is now holding his court at
Morganton, but who had previously or
dered the prisoners to be brought before
him on Thursday. 1t is hard to tell
whether Judge Pearson will be guilty of
such deed He has declared officially
that the Court had exhausted its powers
and had failed to execute the hdbedS COR
puS. The writs therefore became null,
and we Judge that those writs cannot be
revived. Judge Brooks moreover will not
submit to any interference by Chief JUS
tice Pearson or any other State Judge, OF
this iuncturc.
The official vote of Alamance and Cas-
we'll counties has not yet been received,
but it is thought that the majorities against
us will be about 200 for the former and
300 for the latter, which, considering the
odds brought to bear against us by Holden
and Kirk, is doing very we'll. It remains
tosbe seen whether the Legislature will de-
clare the election in those counties null
and void.
