WE LEARN that John W. Graham, q rebel
chip of the old block, stated in speech in
Hillsborough. on Monday night last, that
Gov. Holden was responsible Tor all the vio-
lations of law and bloodshed in North
Carolina.
Have care, Johnny. IL is VILLAIN A.
Graham solo is responsible. Numerous muir
ders and numerous whippings have taken
place in Orange, and Gov. Graham, by ut
tcring ten words, could have prevented
these whippings and murders. The Governor
has proof that Gov. Graham, so far from
discountenancing these horrors that have
occurred under hisSery eyes, has rather en-
couraged them, These aohippings and this
blood is, therefore, on the skirts of GoU. Ora

the Chief Justice, "apprchended that the
people of the State would not submit to the
action of GOV. Hold-n," 10 matter how the
Chief Justice might decide. Gov. Bragg
said, "tle people won't stand it" These
so called big men inspire Gov. Holden with
no terror. He is not aWed by them. He

quire it, just as soon as he would handle

We publish today the following editorial
from the Herald of che 1st:
THE KUKLUx IN NoRrHC CARoLINA.-
Several OF the prisoners from Alamance
county captured by Governor Holden, of
North Carolina, have confessed to belonging
to the Kuklux Klan, and, being convinced
OF the infamy and vilany of that organiza-
tion, have expressed their discrimination to
withdraw from it. One of them, James
Boyd, who was q democratic candidate for
Congress in Alamance county, delivers
long address to the people OF North Caro-
lina, in which he lorswears all Kukluy isms
lor himself, and Claims that Andrew John
son, while President of the United States
was the head centre OF the organization.
He charges svcral whippings and outragrs
upon the klan, and two murders. If the
charges set forth by these two men are true
Governor Holden is right in the course he
has been pursuing. When it comes to
war between the constitutional powers and
an anarchical and bloody minded mob, as
this Kuklux Klan has all along shown itself
to he, there can he no question as to which
is in the right
The correspondent of this paper, now in
the city of Raleigh, is Il sympathizer with
the Kuklux. We are glad, holEer, to see
that the Herald is swayed by Il unses of
no such man, but boldly and nles.uins

THE Sentinel publishes speech deliver

THE Sentinel publishes a speech deliver
ed by Judge Battle before the Supreme
Court, in the course of which he says:
"Sir, if military court shall dare to act
in this matter, the members of it, and they
who ordered it, will be held to a fearful
account hereafter. Changes, physical, moral
and political, are constantly going OF. in the
world, and they who commit high handed
violation of the law may live to see the day
when they may be called upon to answer
before the proper tribunals of justice for the
crimes which they have perpetrlted.7
Judge Battle can shed many tears over
the Kuklux outlaws and murderers. who are
about to be punished, but he has nn tears
for the hundreds who have been whipped
and the scores who have been murdered by
the Kuklux.
The Judge talks about "crimes." Has
he been punished for practically abandon
ing ha6eas corpus, at the bidding of Jeffcr-
son Davis during the rebellion, and for con-
signing to death hundreds of citizens of the
United States as conscripts in the Confede-
rate armies? The Judge does not realize
the situation. The Kuklux muIdercrs will
be punished. Let the Judge be sure of that.
This State belongs to and will be governed
by loyal men. Let the Judge be sure of
that also.

Is man, as Mr.. Benton would say, "of head

This is very significant paragraph. "All
the Judges concur with me in these habeas
corpus proceedings" We expected this, but
at the same time thank God for it. The
Governor is thus supported not only by the
Chief Justice but by all the Supreme Court
Bench. Let the Kuklux notice this and take
warning. If they apply to any other OF
the Judges for writs they will receive the
same answer they have received from tn
Chief Justice.
Gentlemen, excuse US, we meant Kuklux

The Arrest,

We observe from the Sentinel that Mr.
Turner has been arrested. That paper says
that it has been done without cause. The
result will show.
Further, the Sentinel publishes mustard
seed threat of sueing somebody for this ar
rest. "Shoo fly"
1t is not because Of any attack made or
Gov Holden, or on any of the Governor:
friends, that this arrest has been made, but
because ]. Turner is a Kuklux.
Other Kuklux leaders, however prominent
they may be in this State, may hcncetortf
prepare for the same fate. The uncrring
finger of justice is pointed at them. And
they will be arrested as conscious traitors,
and, if convicted, hanged by the neck until
they are dead.

BANKRUPTcY.-The following is the
amendment to the Bankrupt Act of March
2, 1867, as it parsed both Houses of Con-
gress, and became a law by the signature OF
the President, July IA, 1870:
An Act in amendment of the Act entitled "An
Act establishing an uniform system of Bank.
ruptcy throughout the United States"
Be it enacted by the Senate and House OF Rep.
resentatives OF the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the provisions OF the
second clause of the thirty-th section OF said
Act as amended by the first section of an Act in
amendment thereof, approved July twenty.scven,
eighteen hundred and sixty.eight shall not APP
ply to those debts from which the bankrupt seeks
discharge which were contracted prior to the
first day OF January, eighteen hundred and sixty
nine.
SEC. 2. And be il further enacted, That the
clause in the thirty-ninth section of said act
which now reads "or who, being banker, mer-
chant, or trader, has iraudulently stopped or
suspended and not resumed payment OF his com.
mercial paper within period of fourteen days"
shall be amended SO as to read as follows I" or
who, being banker, broker, merchant, trader,
manufacturer, or miner, has fraudulently stopped
payment, or who has stopped or suspended and
not resumed payment of his commercial paper
within period OF fourteen days"
Approved, July IA, 1870.
The effect of this amendment is to place
all parties whose debts were contracted prior
to January /, 1869, in the same ondition as
they were the first year the law went into
operation, i. e., they will be discharged,
'Yhether any assets come to the hands of
= assignee or not
On all debts contracted subsequent to Jan
Fuary 1, 1869, on which the bankrupt is la-
bic as principal debtor, and which are actu-
ally proven in bankruptcy, the assets in the
hands of the assignee must equal fifty per
cent. and on no other debts
The second section relates only to invol-
untary bankruptcy.

The Kuklux Nominations for Coroner.
We have reliable evidence that the Ku-
klux Democracy nominated throughout this
State known members of the Kuklux Klan
for Coroncrs They did this for the sole
purpose of having these men to hold in
quests over the victims of the Kuklux Klan,
and to return false verdicts. All this will be
made perfectly plain in the course of the
Investigations of the men now under arrest.
The Coroner OF Alamance has fed. Other
Coroners have fed. We call upon the Re-
publicars to watch the Coroners elected by
the Kuklux Democracy. They are all men,
hers of the Klan and tainted with treason.

The meaning Of the word Biorama, is,

orable and upright gentlemen, and exhibit
everything they advertise in their circu-
lars.
In order to give the reader an idea Of
what this exhibition is, we mention a
few of the scenes presented on the occa-
sion: Jerusalem-The Cross of our Sa.
