General ClIngman's Letter.

We publish this morning an abe and
patriotic letter from General Z. l.. CLING
MAN to the Editor of the Washington Pa
h'iot. It is clear and forcible exposition
of the present political situation, and lays
down platform upon which all opponents
of Radicalism can etRnd. "Constl tutlonal
government, equal taxation, economy, am
nesty," indicate the true dividing line be-
tween the National Democracy and the
Republican party, and constitute the real
cardinal principles which must be settled
by the next Presidential campaign.
How much better is this than discussing
questions settled by the war, or fighting
against the prejudices of one Or the other
section. Give US this platform and good
candidates, and the issue is certain.
We are glad to see such men as Genel al
CLINGMAN, thus early giving proof OF the
active interest they feel in the conflict, and
such sure Indication of the zeal with which
they will labor. 1t is this spirit which wins
victories. We are not Of those who desire
to cast aside tried and experienced lead
ers. We cannot, Of course, expect them
to do the same work they formerly did,
but we look for wisdom and prudence from
their counsels and in their direction.
We regret, only, that General CLING
MAN has seen f. to refer disparagingly to
the course of Governor WORTH. and his
political friends. We do not believe Gov
ernor WORTH pursued the wrong coulse.
and even if he did, we deprecate the desire
to parade his errors before the world
We can never unite if we continue to up.
braid our friends. We stand prepared to
endorse the administration of Governor
WORTH. in his relations to Federal affairs.
although we have lived to see it's failure.
It was dictated by right, by honorable
principles, by the Constitution of the
country. He could not be expected to
anticipate the depths to which the Radical
party would go to punish the Southern
people. and if he could have done so he
had something more than mere policy to
govern him.
But General CLINGMAN's letter is other
wise so good and timely that we shall for
get this reference in the many excellen-
cies which it contains.

years in California, and presumed dead for
more than half of that time, was yet alive,
and her Joy was great. He, too supposed
his mother to be long dead.
The old lady had romance connected
with her second marriage. 1T is as follows:

that we have Rugged mere fond faIlaciee.

example, that he hal before him, for that
trenchant analyses of his, the time-honored
proverb '' Honesty is the best policy"
He would tell US, undoubtedly, that ion

it is, nowadays, the best Policy, is far
from being tho case. He would pro0e it,
too, We think, by citing the cases of many
who have shamefully abandoned principle
for the sake of pay. and who riot and
faunt in the wages of shame and iniquity.
He would point to depravity in the high
places of the land, debauchery enthroned

LOTTERY HESTER AND THE KU-KLUx. -
The Lumberton Robesonian gives the fol-
lowing account of the manner in which the
sWindling Hester, Deputy q. 8. Marshall
Captured" the Moore county Ku-Klux:
It seems that this fellow Hester had the
DISCUSSES made in Raleigh and carried
them with him in his wagon to Moore.
After loa6ng about Jonesboro' two or
three days, representing himself as Ku-
might wish to be Indicted into the mys.
teries of that ghostly order, on one spe.
cious pretext or another, he decoyed sew
eral young men of the neighborhood to
his camp, where he arrested them, dressed
them in the DISCUSSES he had brought with
him in the wagon, and narchedI them off
to Raleigh, having in the mean time pro-
cured a notoriously desolute. and abandon
ed old bag living in the neighborhood, to
swear that these young men had beaten
her. and her daughters and their negro
paramOure. ...ti"
And this is the way Lottery Hester cap
tured the Moore county Ku-Klux.L 't
