THE HONORABLE BIGAa1IsF.-A North
ern exchange thus comments on the re-.
cont conviction of Hon. GO. Bowen,
M. O.:
A stranger. whose knowledge OF our
politics was confined to such information
rs might be cleaned from Republican
papers, would naturally infer that tho
Hon. Mr.. Bowen 10 ''secessionist,
''rebel," and "disloyalist. He would
not dream that he belonged to the party
OF 'great moral IDEAS" and was q WORTHY
and by no means singular leader Of that
party in South Carolina. But such is
the melancholy. fact He is very like
the Rev. Mr. Wh:ttemore, the oadetship
broker,Iaad Republican member of Con.
gress. He differs very little from the
three prominent meMbeEs. of that; party
recently seht TO the State Prison for
three years, Tor stuf1ing the ballot boxes
in that unhappay State. He differs only
IN the. character of some of his vices,
a9d that very little. from the members
Of the RepnbiieSp legislature OF South
Oarolina who have p1Ahdeted that State
Of nnfMons drawn from The. estates OF
hq1ebt,, apd .yirtdoua cisIsens. To be
scso, HcEcn can reed and write, whereas
9 majority nf the Republicans in the
Legislature OF South, Carolina cannot.
In this: he, has the advantage OF the
rahk and fia. And. yet, il is for the ex1 I
press purpose OF keeping just ouch men
IN power at the South, and through
tHe. controlling The elections, that the
Legislation of, Congress has been shaped.
1t ia tor this purpose that the President
OF the United States has been armed
With the power Or sending the military
forces OF the, United States into the
South Snoh is the bitter, remorseless
and shameless treatment OF conquered
people. Such is the. character OF .'re.
construction" and '.feaping the fruit Of
she war; and suoh the ageuss by which
it Is accomplished. Fit policy, fit agents,
Tor the corrupt and unprincipied party
which trampleo upon every principle OF
law and 'decenoy, in order to secure it's
lease OF power over the country.

THE SITUATION IN North CAnon1sA.

lima appears, in the Raleigh Sentinel.
signed by W: II. Battle, b. T. Moore,

tive leaders, which is in avoYel response
to one put forth not lung ago by Gov.
Caldwell, il. which that functionarv Ia.
mented lawlessness which he asserted
prevailed in pnmbnr OF localities. and
threatened tho people that if it wns not
put down he would call for troops to put
il down. rho present address rominds
the people that the lawlesa bands are
confined to c very fey localities and havo
no political afliliation whatever. But
the conservative party is held aesponsi-
bic for all violence of this sort. The
signers call, therefore, upon all good
men OF the State to assist the officers OF
the law in ferreting ont secret offenders,
IN bringing them to punishment, and
establishing order and law everywhere.
Especially are MI illicit organlzations de-
nounced.

sometime ago to speak of the conduct
and bearing OF the officers and soldiers
of the garrison at this place, under the
command Of Colonel Myers, aud have
not had our good opinions changed by
the revenue officer, who could not call
out the men Of Colonel Myers command
to forage upon the people of the Conn
ty, while engaged in hunting up viola
tors of. the revenue law. The refusal of
Colonel Myers to send out his men and
horses, unprovided with transportation
for forage. &C., brings forth the wrath
OF said revenue officer upon Colonel
Myers and everybody else,i ono Of
these letters, which threatens even the
present State officers with "change in
1872" Thus the just and honest action
OF United States officer in tho dis
charge Of his duties is miarerresented,
and he slandered by one bf these cor

tho first causes of existing evils. The
situation in this State is such, that it
would even be wonderful if disorder did
not exist. The whole system itself is
disorder. A State Government which

give them peace. The character of the

community could boast. until they were
goaded almost into desperation. by

undergoing rapid and Alarming change;
that the strong federal features originally
Impressed. upon the Constitution are
fast fading away, and that we nre NOV
ing steadily into the formation Of CEN
,traltzed despotism., Bot it has,pot ganr
orally been observed that We are incor-
pofdtfng into our civil policy features
which most centralized Igpyernntents are
free from, and which {. 1ist only in the
odious tyrannies. Whsp it is remarked
that we are losing our right Of local GO.
vernmebt, few appreciate fully the ex-,
tent Of that loss, and fewer still know
that in losing it the most, revolving mill
tarXs despotism follows as a natural and
almopt inevitable consequence. Indeed,
oar apcestors clnimed this right under
the British Constitution. md when it
was assniled, they regarded the provoca-
tion as sufficient to warrant revolution. I,
President. have, in few short months,
deprived Us OF what our ancestors won
through seSan long years Of suffering
and blood. No moro fitting illustration
could DO suggested than the fool who
destroyed the beautiful temple whose
construction progressed through ages,
whose exquisite architecture was tho
handiwork OF genius and whose altar
was the repository OF jewels. These
facts ire worthy OF cool and solemn re-
Election. Tho people cannot reflect too
deliberately upon tho character OF their
rights, the source from which they
spring. aud the fearful price with which
they wera bought. Peace is always de-
sirab!e and should be the wish OF every
good citizen. But there is danger in
the dclusions of safety purchased Mt
the expense of all TINT is worth living
for. There was generous despair that
sprung from the high sentiments of our
fathers which made them too noble to
be followed by servile childron. They
presented human nature in it's grandest
form. There is something sublime in
tho record OF their glorious achieve
ments. Kings were not only their pu-
pills, but their suppliants, and princes
were not regarded as targets too good
Tor their '''villainons saltpetre" They
had scorn Of danger aud fierce, tiger
spirit. that made them not only brave
bnt terrible. They knew their rights
and maintained them. They were not
appalled, atimpossibilities. at They plucked
victory from the very jaws of despair,
and WON the right to live as frecmen.

: KU KnUx iOUTRAaE.-A fearful Ku
Klux outrage was stated to have taken
place on the Sand Hills, near this city, o
few days ngo. A colored. and, conse-
qnently, loyal citizen ran into the yard
Of the United States Arsenal. bleeding
from wounds inflicted by rebel Ku Klux,
in close proximity to the sacred soil of
the Government. He. stated that while
travelling along the road short time be-
fo.e, be met party Of Ku Klux, who
commanded him to halt. Feeling that
tile hour OF death was drawing nigh,
that the Ku Klux intended to i'm M olate
nnother one Of the faithful Republicans
of Georgia, he raised his hand in an i'm
ploring attitude, and made piteous ap-
peal for mercy. but instead of hearing
and needing his prayer, the party gave u
Ku Klnxish laugh. and one of them
fired his pistol at tho palm of Tho up.
raised potato stealer The bullet sped
true to and through the mark, and the
Ku Klux passed on. leaving the bleed
ing victim by the way side. This was
the story told by the loyal colored cit.
zen, and this is the story which the
Radical papers will publish under tho
usual ghestly headings, and with tho
usual edifyingcommshts. But notwith-
standing the. straightness the negro's
narrative, it turns out to bo n.falsehood.
manufactured from whole cloth. The
negro met 10 band of Ku Kldx, md
consequently could not have been shot
by one OF their. number. An investiga-
tion disclosed the faot that the loyal
citizen Ind been working for gentleman
OF this County. and shot himself one
day accidentally. in the hand, while
playing; with pistol. He had also rob.
bed his employer on the same day and
ran away from his PLACE on that account.
A good outrage; badly spoiled.
