GUILFoRD COUNTY, Aug. 10, 1870.

Mr.. EDITOR The campaign is over and
the Republican party is defeated by intimi
datinn. The Kuklux Klan was very strong
in this county. Every Township in the
county has its "camp,n and BY threats for
months to the colored voters and the timid
portion of the white Republicans, they were
successful IN causing hundreds to remain at
home and others to vote their ticket. There
never was such horrible, murderous Klan
In existence in any country as this White
brotherhood Men who were once con-
sidered respectable are its leaders, have
taught others that murder and assassination
are justifable to carry elections against men
who accepted the reconstruction acts as a
finality. Men who at one time were consid-
cred honest men, belong to this bloody
Klan, and would cut the throat OF or hang
their best neigh1or, II they thought the In
terest OF the broken,down negro aristocracy
could be sustained thereby. The election

IreIand,s Opportunities.

A report prevails here, circulated by one
section of the Fenian organization, that q
secret agent from the Irish Republican Di-
rectory in Ireland, arrived yesterday morn
ing in this city, and is busy endeavoring to
heal the differences that have heretofore ex,
listed between the Fenian factions here. 1t
seems to be understood that if England takes
sides with Prussia, that France has engaged
to send arms and munitions of war to Ire
land, in addition to an invading force of
$4,000 men, The agent has no confidence
in the professional patriots of New York,
who have been organizing raids on Canada,
which, he believes, cannot affect the condi-
tion of Ireland. He says that several British
spies have come over to America to make
their headquarters in New York during the
France Prussian war. The agent accounts
for the failure of the Fenian movement in
Ireland through the folly or treachery of an
American envoy, who lost certain documents
in Ireland in 1865, which exposed the Fenian
plans to the British government. He urges
local organizations everywhere, and is op-
posed to all attempts to form an Irish -Ameri-
can national movement, which, he believes,
would becontrolled by old well-known party
hacks. Philadelphia Press.

BORROWING A SCYTHE.-An eccentric
Connecticut Yankee, named Jonas Lincoln
Il revolutionary pensioncr, clever, shiftlcss
fellow, and most energetic tramp, once
came to the ferry at Hartford, and the ferry
men refused to take him across.
.'Go to thunder with your old scow," said
Jonas, ''lll Just go around yer darned old
river-seo ifI don't" And he did-a tramp
of six or seven hundred miles.
On another occasion he applied for the
loan of scythe, at the house of u ncighbor
who was bridge builder.
I'm really sorry. Mr.. Lincoln" said the
wife of the mechanic, ''that cannot accom-
modate yc ; but my husband amt to hum, ye
see, and he says to me jest before he went
away, Betsy says he, don't you lend moth,
in of mine to nobody, on no account while
am gone So Mr. Lincoln, ye see can't
let that scythc go, not even to you!"
"Why, whereabouts is your husband
marm?"
"Oh, he's way deown in Pcnsylvany, build,
ing bridge"
"Wall, CESS if go down to where's he's
to work. and get his consent, yell lend that
ere scythe."
.Sartin. Mr.. Lincoln. But, man alive, what
on airth du you mean tell you he's away
down in Pensylvany."
The old soldier laughed in his droll,
knowing way and then questioning her as
to the exact locality of her husbands bridge
building operations, took his leave.
That very afternoon he departed on one
of his "grand towers" with only charge OF
linen, tied up in blue checkered banker
chef, hanging from stick over his shoulder.
and whistling checrfully as lie lett the dull
old town beind him.
About ten days or fortnight latter he APP
peared before the astonished mechanic, ex,
claiming, "Hullo! Billing, will you lend
your scythe for spell? That wife OF yourn
won't let it go without you say so. Got her
pretty well under your thumb, hain't ye!
| Or, mebbe she's afraid to cut friendship
tween her and me by lendin' an edged
tool"
Ten days later Mistress Billins was aston
ishe6 to see her eccentric neighbor appear
all dusty and travel-worn, at her door, and
to hear him say, guilty:
Yes, ma'am your man says may take that
are scythe, and it's high time fhat little
medder of mine was moved.

FRUIT DRY1NG.-Mr. E. A. Vogler, of
Salem, gives the following directions for
driving fruit. To whom it may concern. we
say MI. V. is good authority and his direc-
tions will be found worthy of notice;
"As to the mode of drying apples and
peaches. They are more saleable when dried
bright in the sun; when peeled, they should
be sliced fine and the apples well cored.
Unpeeled apples will not sell at any price !;
unpseled peaches sell best when cut only in
half The art in drying apples bright in
color, is in the simple act to slice them in
morning and put them in the sun at once,
not allowing them to remain in bulk to be-
come withered and brown in color. They
should never be sliced in the evening and
left to remain together over night, as they
will never become bright when allowed to
remain in that condition"
