North CarOl1nao

The new emeute in North Cerolinn-the
most prolific Of the newborn States in the
bitter fruits of Reconstruction-is Rad
ical affair in every sense of the word. The
Radical Governor, Holden, who from the
very beginning OF decentralization has been
one of tho most radical disturbers Of law
and order and the regular administration
of Justice, has now carried his radical au-
dacitY so far as to defy the civil courts; to
proclaim martial law; to suspend the writ
of habeas corpus, to place in command of
body of disorganizcrs, which he calls
the State militia, certain Col. Kirk, dis
tinguished for the manipulation of similar
movements IN Tennessee; to order the said
Colonel to arrest several respectable Cit
zens, known to be of Conservative charao-
ter and tendencies and to charge them,
not with any overt acts, civil or moral,
but with suspicion merely of
being connected with that invisible but
ever-available Radical bugbear, the Ku-
KIux-Kian; and finally, to answer the writ
Of tho Chief Justice of the State for
habeas corpus, by the characteristic Radi-
cal reply that that sort of thing was ''pIay-
ed out" Tho reconstructed carpet-bag-
gers and usurpers of authority in North
Carolina were not to be insulted by sug-
gestion even of constitutional liberty, or
the once regular but now ''played out"
forms of law. And all this ng merely
preliminary movement Of the approach
ing political campaign. The Congestion
al candidates Wero speaking In tho Court
House when the place was surrounded by
Col. Kinks redonbtahle army, and arrests
made Of several prominent citizens, in
Guiding the sheriff of the county, made
without form of law and without
allegation of offence, and upon no
imaginable ground, in fact, other
than that of Radical e-pediency and the
assurance of Mr.. Sumner That Reconetruc-
ton must be carried out at all hazards and
by all means, and that Reconstruction
means nothing more nor less than O. guar
antee of q republican form Of government
in other words, q government formed
aud held and operated by and for the ex-
elusive benefit of Radical Republicans.
In accordance with this species OF re
publican government, ut last accounts
the Court House had been seized and
placed under guard, and a military
ccmmission-Col. Kirk himself and bis
constituting the Court-was
in session to try, Or more strictly speak
ing, to condemn the arrested citizens -
The whole transaction is but another ex-
ample of the legitimate results Of that
egregious botch- work of legislation called
construction-whichw was designed and
is being executed in North end South
Carolina and other half formed States in
the interests of Radicalism, by placing
the reins of government and the means of
official corruption in the hands of ignor-
ant and mercenary carpet-baggers and
supple tools of party. Boston Post

Upon proof Of service and tho failure. OF
tuI. Kirk to return tho writ, the counsel
lor the prisoner submitted two motions:
l. For an attachment against c. w. Kirk
{or failing to make return.
2. For Il writ, to be directed to the Shcr
if of some county, commanding him, with
the power of tho county If necessary, to
take the prisoner out OF the hands of said
Kirk, and have him before the Chief JUS
tee.
The fact Of service and the failure to
make return was a sufficient foundation for
these motions. But the affidavit sets out
further that G.. w. Kirk said ''ho was act
ing under the orders of Gov. Holden, ard
shouId make no return"
This cxtraneous matter, if truc had in
my Judgment an important bearing on the
pending motions, and not being at liberty
20 assume it 10 be true, on the verbal state
llcnt of Col. Kirk, l addressed commu-
nication to his Exee!Iency, asking to be in
formed if Col Kirk had such orders.
The purpose was to have the ord to
Col. Kirk avowed or disavowCd, and make
it final fact one way or the other. and to
afford an opportunity to his Exellency, if
ayOwed, of setting out the ground of his
action and of being heard by counsel. The
cause of truth is always served by argu-
ment on both sides.
l. Tho main question, and one on which
both motions depend is this: Does the
fact that the Governor had declared the
county of Alamance to be in state of in
surrCctiOn, and had taken military posses
sion, have the legal effect to suspend the
privilege of the writ of hdbeGS corpus in
that county? If SO the prisoner takes no.
thing by either motion; If otherwise it
will become necessary to give them further
consideration.
It was insisted by the counsel of the
prisoner that the Governors reply is no
part of this proceeding and cannot be no.
ticed. In my opinion, it forms a part of
the proceedings to the extent of the avoWal
of the orders given to Col. Kirk, (that is in
direct response to my inquiry y and of the
fact that in the exercise of the power con-
ferred on him, he had declared the county
of Alamance to be in state of insurrec-
ton, taken military possession and ordered
the arrest and detention of the petitioner
as q NJ Htarv prisoner. The action of his
Excellcncy is relevant for, if the priyi-
Ioge of tho writ of RdbeGs corpus be sus-
pended, the writ now moved for, ought
not to be awarded. (ETparte Tobias, Wat
kins, 8; Peters 1881 the Chief Justice says:
'the writ ought to be awarded, if the
Court is satisfied that the prisoner would
be remanded." This case is cited and
approved, &c parte, Milligan, 4 Wal
lace, Ill.
His Excellency was also pleased to set
ont some of the special facts that satisfied
MIN that the civil authorities of the conn
~ were unable to protect its citizens in
she enjoyment Of life and property it is |
