Z AAAH AAhhOAA " AIA6 SEM
We have been struck with one feature
Of the Radical Ku-Kiux campaign. That
is: Neither Gen. Grant nor his Congress
have called upon Gen. Sherman for re-
port of the Southern situation. Gen.
Sherman, we sli know, is The General of
the Armies of the United States. he has
his officers and men stationed in every
one of the Southern States. He receives
from them frequent reports. He ought to
know and does know better than any
other man in Washington the condition Of
the South, politically and socially. Why
has not Gen. Grant or the Radical Con-
gress called upon him for his opinion OF
the loyalty of the Southern people, as
gathered from officers of the Army of
the United States2 Why has not the
Radical Congress, which is very loud on
the Ku-Klux Cutrages, asked Gen. Sher-
man to sustain them with extracts from
reports of his officers in the South
Gen. Sherman is part of the Govern
ment. No one doabts his loyalty or that
of any one under his command; ard yet
Radicalism has not endeavored to sustain
its pros cription BY evidence from the
hero who marched to the Sea.
The carpet-bsggers and scalawags from
the South, who infest the halls of the
Congress, have united from selfish pur-
poses with the professional partisans of
Radicalism in Congress 10 mis1epresent
the South, grab its products and appro-
pirate its political offices. To succeed
in this effort they have rung the Ku-Klux
cry with all its changes. 1t is gratifying
TO know that the people of the North
have heard this cry al nauSeanl, until
they are sick of 1t, and that hencefOrth
Northern voters will require something
more than idle Ku-Klux stories TO cause
them to vote against the well-established
principles of the constitution Of our
fathers. Ii is believed that no officer of
the United States army would sustain
the allegations of disloyalty which are
daily made in Congress against the South
en people, or Radical spies and intligders
would have long ago had such officer be-
fore some congressional comIittee. The
absence of such proof is conclusive evil
dence that it does not exist.

Letter. FROM GEN. BRIGHT.

The following letter from Gen. Bright
speaks fer itself. We have already pub
lislcd the speech of Gen. Bright, aud if
any of our readers ever saw the report to
which he refers, they know from the
reading of his speech, in the UNION AND
AMERICAN, that it was grossly erroneous
for any one 10 say that he approved the
Ku Klux bill:
To the Editors Of the Union ami American;
HOUSE, OF REPRESENTATIVES,, WAsHING-
TOY, April 10, lS7I.-My attention has
lust been called to report of the debate
on the Ku-Klux bill, in this House, on
the Sd inst, in which report is the follow
ing language:
''Nir. Bright oPproCcd the bill"
VIII you do me the favor 10 publish
my correction of the error Of the report.
No doubt, through mistake, the word
''GppTOrcd' was used instead of opposed
the bill.
Iii hardly necessary for me TO say to
you thst l cOUnSClcd against the bill,
spoke against it, and COtcd against it.
l send you copy of my speech against
the bill, which Will remove all suspicious
of my action. Very respectfully,
JNO. NJ BRIGHT

VICE PRESIDENT CoLFAx recently pub
lished in the Independent statement to
the effecs that Russian influence alone
prevented the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy during the war. This was
PROMPTLY contradicted in HGrpeT'S
Weekly, on what was represented to he
adequate authority, and Lord Granville
subsequently denied it in the House OF
Lords. He went so far as to say that "as
a member of the Palmerston and Russell
Cabinet, he could say that proposition
to recognize the South was never even
entertained

SENATOR PATTERSON, (Radical,) OF
New Hampshire, who was number OF

charges that the officials in that institu-

their part, especially when they could,
without fear of punishment, steal the
whole amount

OBITUARY.

Died, in Cleveland, O., July 9TH, aged
81, Mrs. Cornelia Oln, daughter of the
late Judge J H. Oln of SALISBURY
aud wife of Prof, J. Lang Casscls, Of
the Cleveland Medical College.
Mrs Cassels was a lady of rare beauty,
generosity and kindness. She, with all
her family, was member Of the Presby-
terrain Church, and was much esteemed
aud respected by all that knew her.
Cleveland has many estimable ladies, but
that favored city has few superior in
their qualities and standing IN society
to her whose death we now deplore. II
wa. only last week that the writer Of this
notice sent her a package Of these jour
NAILS knowing the interest which, as q
native Of this County, she would feel in
all that was Transporting in its towns and
villages. But little did he think that the
/ eyes for which those papers were de.
signed were, even then, closed IN death
never again to look upon things earthly
Yetwhie we mediate sorrowfully up
on the sudden and unexpected departure
Of 50 kind a friend and mourn with Tho
bereayed family in their aflliction anC
! their loss, we still console ourselves thai
death, in this case, was as the early set
ting of another star Of ours in the west
to rise again, we trust, in greater beaut!
at the resurrection of the just.

The sales Of liquors In the United
States during the fiscal year ending
Juno 80, 1871, It has been calculated
by Edward Young. tho Chief Of the
Bureau Of Statistics, amounted to six
hundred millions of dollars. This to-
tai Is made up as follows: Sixty mill
lion gallons Of whisky, at $6 q gallon
retail, $3.50, OOO,0 900. Two and a half
million gallons Of imported spirits ut
SO a gallon, $25, OOO,O 600. Ten million
v hundred thousand gallons Of i'm
ported wine at IS gallon, $50, 500, 900.
Sixty-flve million barrels Of ale, beer,
and porter, at SO barrel, $3.50. OOO,-
900. Native brandies, wines and cor
dials in unknown quantities, It Is esti-
mated, have been consumed, involving
nm expenditure of $3l, $780, 900. These
figures although not so large as some
that have been published, yet give a
total that. should astonish the con-
sumers Of ardent spirits. This sum Of
six hundred millions Of dollars a year
would In less than four years pay OF
the National debt, or II invested In
works of internal Improvement, would
complete all the. unfinished and pro-
jected works Of the United States.
